...there are only 21,500,000 Catholics in the U. S., but the U. S. is by far the Church's richest province and the Vatican has become increasingly dependent on it for financial support. Now that South America, with its 61,000,000 Catholics, is working in antitotalitarian harness with the U. S., the Vatican may soon be put on the horns of a dilemma. One horn is tacit participation in the spoils of Fascist victory-which patriotic Italian bishops (who, like Cardinal Kinsley, do not necessarily represent the Vatican's views) have steadily urged since June...
Formed in New-Orleans last week was the Order of the American Razzberry. Based on the antitotalitarian Fourth of July speech,* delivered by Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes (TIME, July 15) and said to be written by Poet Archibald MacLeish, the new order will decorate "all stuffed shirts, politicians or others, who prove themselves friends of Adolf Hitler ... by hampering and slowing up the national defense of the U. S.'' Highest decoration: "the American Razzberry Rampant upon a Nazi Swastika Couchant." Lesser: "the Crooked Double Cross...
...Steeves's words were greeted with howls of "Shame! Shame!" Up rose B. C.'s Premier Thomas D. Pattullo to chide her-and incidentally to prove that antitotalitarian nations must adopt semi-totalitarian methods to achieve their ends: "I am sorry at the honorable lady member's attitude, and appeal that no other member of this House give similar utterances. It is fortunate she is living in a country where tolerance is enjoyed. I doubt if she would be allowed such latitude in her native Holland. If such words are again uttered, I shall have to advise...
When the 21 independent countries of the Americas gathered at Lima last year to draw up an antitotalitarian pact, most of them were determined not to let El Hombre's delegate, Cordell Hull, run the show. Argentina in particular hemmed, took exception, offered substitute phrases. The final draft, a reluctant Argentine compromise, postulated the 21 countries' common interest, provided that in time of crisis the signatories would consult each other. When war broke out fortnight ago, Argentina did a complete about-face and put herself in the forefront of the rush to implement the Lima Declaration...
...dictators' press got raving mad last week at France and Great Britain. Usually such pre-arranged fits of anger spring from some positive antitotalitarian act, such as France's ordering more warplanes from the U. S., Britain's guaranteeing another country's security, Poland's refusal to give up Danzig. What pained Germany and Italy this time, however, was French and British indifference at the German-Italian military alliance (TIME, May 15), which Count Galeazzo Ciano and Joachim von Ribbentrop ceremoniously signed at Berlin...
