HITLER'S PARTNER
MUSSOLINI LEADS RELUCTANT AND DAZED CROWD SUCCESS OR COLLAPSE Signor Mussolini lias led Ills dazed and reluctant people to war against us, writes Cecil Jackson in the Spectator. His programme is war or unresisting collapse of what stands be-, t'wecn him and his desire. Under the fascination of the Axis he has renounced the Italian national pro-' gramme by which Italy was to advance to 1 an increasingly important and independent position as a Great Power among Great Powers, in favour of a programme of junior partnership in a European revolutionary Empire. Like Germany, Italy seeks to get loose of the trammels of nationhood! as such. It is a dream on the grand scale that Mussolini has conceived, but one which in quality falls short of the standards of European history. It is within those standards that we shall be ready to consider Italy's claims for greatei privileges as a growing nation, when the pagan renaissance seeking incarnation in the revolutionary Empire of the Axis Powers has been «hown up in its vital and human infenoirity.
