But
to
do
so
peace
must
reign
in
his
domain
while
war
raged
in
the
world
outside
.
Don
Corleone
carried
his
message
through
the
United
States
.
He
conferred
with
compatriots
in
Los
Angeles
,
San
Francisco
,
Cleveland
,
Chicago
,
Philadelphia
,
Miami
,
and
Boston
.
He
was
the
underworld
apostle
of
peace
and
,
by
,1939
,
more
successful
than
any
Pope
,
he
had
achieved
a
working
agreement
amongst
the
most
powerful
underworld
organizations
in
the
country
.
Like
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States
this
agreement
respected
fully
the
internal
authority
of
each
member
in
his
state
or
city
.
The
agreement
veered
only
spheres
of
influence
and
an
agreement
to
enforce
peace
in
the
underworld
.
And
so
when
World
War
II
broke
out
in
1939
,
when
the
United
States
,
joined
the
conflict
in
1941
,
the
world
of
Don
Vito
Corleone
was
at
peace
,
in
order
,
fully
prepared
to
reap
the
golden
harvest
on
equal
terms
with
all
the
other
industries
of
a
booming
America
.
The
Corleone
Family
had
a
hand
in
supplying
black-market
OPA
food
stamps
,
gasoline
stamps
,
even
travel
priorities
.
It
could
help
get
war
contracts
and
then
help
get
black-market
materials
for
those
garment
center
clothing
firms
who
were
not
given
enough
raw
material
because
they
did
not
have
government
contracts
.
He
could
even
get
all
the
young
men
in
his
organization
,
those
eligible
for
Army
draft
,
excused
from
fighting
in
the
foreign
war
.
He
did
this
with
the
aid
of
doctors
.
who
advised
what
drugs
had
to
be
taken
before
physical
examination
,
or
by
placing
the
men
in
draft-exempt
positions
in
the
war
industries
.
And
so
the
Don
could
take
pride
in
his
rule
.
His
world
was
safe
for
those
who
had
sworn
loyalty
to
him
;
other
men
who
believed
in
law
and
order
were
dying
by
the
millions
.
The
only
fly
in
the
ointment
was
that
his
own
son
,
Michael
Corleone
,
refused
to
be
helped
,
insisted
on
volunteering
to
serve
his
own
country
.
And
to
the
Don
's
astonishment
,
so
did
a
few
of
his
other
young
men
in
the
organization
.
One
of
the
men
,
trying
to
explain
this
to
his
caporegime
,
said
,
"
This
country
has
been
good
to
me
.
"
Upon
this
story
being
relayed
to
the
Don
he
said
angrily
to
the
caporegime
,
"
I
have
been
good
to
him
.
"
It
might
have
gone
badly
for
these
people
but
,
as
he
had
excused
his
son
Michael
,
so
must
he
excuse
other
young
men
who
so
misunderstood
their
duty
to
their
Don
and
to
themselves
.
At
the
end
of
World
War
II
Don
Corleone
knew
that
again
his
world
would
have
to
change
its
ways
,
that
it
would
have
to
fit
itself
more
snugly
into
the
ways
of
the
other
,
larger
world
.
He
believed
he
could
do
this
with
no
loss
of
profit
.
There
was
reason
for
this
belief
in
his
own
experience
.
What
had
put
him
on
the
right
track
were
two
personal
affairs
.
Early
in
his
career
the
then-young
Nazorine
,
only
a
baker
's
helper
planning
to
get
married
,
had
come
to
him
for
assistance
.
He
and
his
future
bride
,
a
good
Italian
girl
,
had
saved
their
money
and
had
paid
the
enormous
sum
of
three
hundred
dollars
to
a
wholesaler
of
furniture
recommended
to
them
.
This
wholesaler
had
let
them
pick
out
everything
they
wanted
to
furnish
their
tenement
apartment
.
A
fine
sturdy
bedroom
set
with
two
bureaus
and
lamps
.
Also
the
living
room
set
of
heavy
stuffed
sofa
and
stuffed
armchairs
,
all
covered
with
rich
gold-threaded
fabric
.
Nazorine
and
his
fiancee
had
spent
a
happy
day
picking
out
what
they
wanted
from
the
huge
warehouse
crowded
with
furniture
.
The
wholesaler
took
their
money
,
their
three
hundred
dollars
wrung
from
the
sweat
of
their
blood
,
and
pocketed
it
and
promised
the
furniture
to
be
delivered
within
the
week
to
the
already
rented
flat
.
The
very
next
week
however
,
the
firm
had
gone
into
bankruptcy
.
The
great
warehouse
stocked
with
furniture
had
been
sealed
shut
and
attached
for
payment
of
creditors
.
The
wholesaler
had
disappeared
to
give
other
creditors
time
to
unleash
their
anger
on
the
empty
air
.
Nazorine
,
one
of
these
,
went
to
his
lawyer
,
who
told
him
nothing
could
be
done
until
the
case
was
settled
in
court
and
all
creditors
satisfied
.
This
might
take
three
years
and
Nazorine
would
be
lucky
to
get
back
ten
cents
on
the
dollar
.
Vito
Corleone
listened
to
this
story
with
amused
disbelief
.
It
was
not
possible
that
the
law
could
allow
such
thievery
.
The
wholesaler
owned
his
own
palatial
home
,
an
estate
in
Long
Island
,
a
luxurious
automobile
,
and
was
seeding
his
children
to
college
.
How
could
he
keep
the
three
hundred
dollars
of
the
poor
baker
Nazorine
and
not
give
him
the
furniture
he
had
paid
for
?
But
,
to
make
sure
,
Vito
Corleone
had
Genco
Abbandando
check
it
out
with
the
lawyers
who
represented
the
Genco
Pura
company
.
They
verified
the
story
of
Nazorine
.
The
wholesaler
had
all
his
personal
wealth
in
his
wife
's
name
.
