THMiSDAY, YEBRUARY 13, 1941l TEE CANADIAN STÀTESMAI<, ~OWMANVILLE, ONTARIO PAGE THEZE E Mt EXIT ROME The smashing defeat of the Italians in Libya may flot help us immediately i urvital struggle with Hitler. But it does oane thing - it writes "the enài" ta the chap- tbegun by Mussolini ini 1922. ~e great strutting, baasting Duce rturned out to be jiist another dbag. The huge ermies of bll",shirts made up of a whole gèI1rtion taught almost fronm the cradie ta Warship the idals af im"periallsm has been biown abaut Bike chaff befare a strang wind. The Greeks began it with ane well placed punch ta the jaw of the Fascist invader i Abania. Generai Wavels army af the Nile finished it by transfarming what was plenned as a raid inta one af -the mast spectacular campaigns In ail modern histary. 1 If the Germans taught the warld the new technique »af break- through by tank carps, follawed 'by immense encirclement as by a huge maving sickle, the British 'have gane them ane better. In the Libyan campaign the Navy did ,on the ane flank what the tank ,corps did on the other. There is na example that I can find i -histary af such perfect coopera- tian betweeiû sea and land farces. ROMAN FEURRER The net effects af the Italian .defeat in Albanie and eatastraphe in Libya are already abvious. Mussoli ni's dream of a revived Empire of the Caesar's is as dead as the proverbial daarnail. But Italy's extreniity is flot necessarily a handicap ta the German advo- cates af the "New* Order I Eurape." Indeed, just as the Haly Roman Empire was built by Ger- mens an the ruina af the early Roman edifice, sa the Nazis will take over the wreckage cf what the Fascists held'. With the defeat of the Italians in Africa, Italy secretly if nat openly maves inta the categary ,of countries subjugated by Hitler. Manths before Italy plunged inta the war Italians were jaking i secret about their awn gavemfi- ment. One of the best was the -whisper "'we were better off un- der aur awn Duce" - the refer- ence being ta the German secret police, and techincal expérts even then swarming over Italy. One can imagine what the situation will be when the fulil conse- quences of what bas happened became apparent ta the people. But for us the. present harsh and unwelcome fact"is that -aur Mediterranean prablemn will pmob- ably be intensified. Hitler knows ail too well that With things as they are i Italy - witli iots ai- ready reparted, and hysteridal women angrily followig German soldiers, and so forth - that a surprise British invasion ofth.. impassiblit.

For the time being Hitler wil become 'Feuhrer of Rome as well as of the other cauntries lielias con- quered or avercome by cunning. In the long rua that means that the Italian peaple may be fighting on aur side - or rallier ta over- thraw Hitler when the final phase cf the. war is eached.
