Gentle Conquerors
While hate tries to unify Europe, love Is unifying the world.
Toward that ideal peace in ,which the lion shall lie down with the lamb, the peoples still are groping, "and a little child shall lead them." Or, rather, thou- sands upon thousands of little children. We call them home- less. We label them refugees. We pity their human helpless ness. We say they are the vic- tims of power-lusting-conquer- ers, would-be world masters.
Homeless, refugees, victims ? So they may seem. But they are conquering the world as no emperor or dictator or revolu- tionist has ever been able to conquer it.

MANIA
ENTTO" MUSSOLINI has fullled his ambition, Ha has ung Italy into a great war, into that "bath of blood" for which he has openly longed all his life.
This is not Italy's war. It is. Mussolini's war.
Italy is for him to-day as in the past only an instrument for satisfying his own lusts and hates and cravings for power and
violence.
He was frank about himself to his blographer, Bignora Barfatti,
"I am possessed," he once said to her, "by a mania, It Infames, gnaws and consumes me like a phy- sical malady.
"I want to make a mark on his. story with my will, like a lion with
his claws."
All his life he has been gnawed by that mania, «All his life he has been the same at heart

What land, what people, would willingly risk being left out of the alliance of hearts, the federation of affectionate in- terests, that will spring up in the wake of these armies? Not the United States. Not Canada, New Zealand, South Africa. Nor yet other lands.. From London come grateful reports that peoples geographically re- moved from the immediate danger of air raids are offering sanctuary to millions of British and other children from Europe. We in Hongkong also have reason to be thankful to the Philippines and to Australia for the manner in which they have arranged refuge for our loved
ones.

in Switzerland.
"To us there remains the consol- ing religion of anarchy," he wrote when he was already the Funciat leader.
Mussolini'anarchiem da not that of Kropotkin and his fellows. It is an anarchism bred of a deep hatred of society itself. It is
mania which seeks power to gratify that hatred and which loves violence and destruction for their OWN BAKO.
Anarchists, be once wrote, are of "haters, destroyers, denters society."
With lesser gifts, in other circum- stances, the boy who stole from the farmers of Forti, who was expelled from school for stabbing a playmate with a penknife, might have become a common criminal, or a gangster warring and preying on society.
Chance, a titanio will power and brilliant gifts of leadership made him not a petty but a great enemy of society,
He avenged himselt on the Italy which had exiled him by making himself its master, by trampiing on
it, by breaking to submission
to his will.
Facts about Hitler's petrol
HEN Hitler's 6,000
tanks
W started on their blitzkrieg.
they stoked up with roughly. 1,100,000 gallons of petrol
In the usual proportion 6,000-tanks,
or atx divisions, would consist of 550 heavy, 2,100 medium and 3,270 light- tanks.
Reservoirs of heavy tanks are cap- ablo of holding 300 gallons, medium 200 and light 150 gallons of petrol.
*
*
*
Heavy tanks consume about six gallons to the mile, limiting their xadius of action to 50 miles if they cannot refuel.
Medium tanks eat up two gallons every mile and light tanks approxi- mately one.
*
*
Aircraft consume almost as much fuct as tanks. The Messerschmitt 110. for instanco, carries 400 gallons, and it its top speed can travel 820 miles. Le.., roughly two miles to the gallon.
Heavy bombers may carry as much as 1,000 gallons of patrol, a supply that lasts for a little over three hours.
Only Hitler knows how much of his carefully gathered aloeks has been depleted. He had already waged two and mechanised wars in Poland Norway-before his present venture.

Germany is producing some syn- thelte petrol from her soft, brown coal. Exactly how much is not known, but it is certainly not enough to satisfy her normal domestic requirements, for less

In 1038 Germany used about 7,000,000 tans of
far oll-for a smaller territory than that now under her control.
*
She can obtain only a fraction of this in new supplies-130,000 tons monthly from Rumania, a little from Russia, some now from Poland, and her own synthetic fuel.
**
She can keep up this intensive mechanised and air warfare only by drawing on her reserves.
The idea that he saved the State from revolution is the very. Those reserves must be kept some-.. opposite of the truth. He hated the State.
"Down with the State in all its forms and incarnations," he eried to his Fascists; "the State of yesterday and to-day and to- morrow: the bourgeois Btate and the Socialist State!"
He succeeded-by luck and cunning and superb political strategy. He brought the State- into subjection to the Fascist Party, the Party into subjection to himselfi.

After Abyssinia, Spain. "Crusade against Bolshevism" was the merest pretext with the man who a year before had been effusively avowing his deep friendship for the Soviet Union.
He craved more violence, more food for the gnawing mania which possessed him, the spreading of anarchy and bloodshed over peaceful land.
And So Italy Now Suffers
n
It is the same to-day. The Italian people have longed to be left in peace. They have no love for the Germans, no hatred for the Allies, They want nothing that they could gain even from a victorious war.
But the anarchist who rules them cannot bear to stand aside from the great anarchy which another crimi- nai has loosed over Europe. Ho will force Italy to suffer as dñal proof of his mastery of her.
And he hopes to gratify his hatred of Britain and France which are to him the emblems of the civilisation and ordered liberty which he has loathed all his life,
Italy comes into the war, not in adelity to, her alliance, not for national ambition, not because of any grievance, but because it is the will of a dictator-anarchist.

When a petrol tank is hit by an incendiary bomb, probably 1,000,000 gallons of petrol go up in flames.
If, as is usual, the tank atands in a nest of other tanks many more million gallons of fuck will be destroyed.

And don't forget one important- ching, Tanks, planes, etc., require something more than petrol to make them go. They must have lubricating oll in large quantities.
