WHY GERMANS ARE CRUEL

Cleveland Plain-Dealer: "If Ger

Sugar Equalization Board
Latest Aid TO Reduce Costs

Washington, July l2.-Prices OF
sugar to the consumer will be
equalized and the distribution made
better, food administration officials
predicted today, by the operations
OF the sugar equalization board

recommendation of Administrator
Hoover. The new organization is
also expected to facilitate joint
dealing with the allies in foreign
sugar and aid in adjustments or
differentials in overseas freight
rates.
The board will have authority to
acquire sugar produced at factories
where the cost of beets and by
reason OF other factors will not
permit the product to be sold at a

GERMANY'S TRUMP CARD
ECONOMICALLY WILL
PROVE OF NO VALUE

London. July ll.-An article in
the Evening Standard quotes i
German professor named Roth As
saying that potash will be an ex-
cellent trump card for Germany on
the day OF peace negotiations.
The article then proceeds to show
the illusory nature of the supposed
German monopoly, enumerating
other sources of potash, including
new methods of getting it by the
utilization Of the by-products of
flourishing industry.
1t follows that the Germans, the
article concludes, have a good deal
less to bargain with than they imag-

has made them so different, Sc
much worse than they used to be
The answer is that during the last
fifty years they have been educated
to become parts of a great fighting
machine, and Bismarck and those
who wrought with him built the
German schools and the German ar
my and the German industry into a
great system of education.
"ln this system German children
have been trained to believe what
they are told and to do as they are
told. Their highest ideal is to be-
come docile soldiers in the German
army or workers in the German fac
tories. If German boys commit
atrocities, it is not because they are
by nature more brutal than other
boys; it is because they have been
specifically trained SO that when the
order for an atrocity rings out, even
though young mans whole ma
ture may rise up in opposition to it,
instinctiyely and automatically he
obeys that order.
Under these circumstances it is
the duty of American citizens Of
German descent to do everything in
their power to help the American
government win the war against the
German government. We are not
the enemies of the German people.
We are the friends Of the German
people, helping them to fight against
their own worst enemy-the Ger
man government. They will never
rise up and establish democracy
in Germany unless the German gov
ernment and the German army are
beaten. But when we have won the
physical victory over the German
army, We must also win spiritual
Iictory over the German people.
The German people must be won
or democracy.
The society which | represent,
allied the Friends of German De-
nocracy, has been organized to car
y on this work of spiritual CON
uest. We invite all of you who are
nterested to help us in this great
Iork."

MUST CONTINUE CONTROL
OF FOOD AFTER WAR
Britain and Allies Cannot Suddenly
Change Methods.

London July l2.-Food contro
in England probably will continue
for at least short while after the
ending Of hostiities, according to
John K. Clynes. the new head OF
the food ministry. Discussing this
subject with the Daily Telegraph
the new controller said:
Whether the food ministry will
be continued after the war depends
on how long the war lasts, but it is
clear. the conditions created will
not suddenly disappear when it is
ended, and for considerable time
the allied nations will be required
to act in cooperation both as re-
CARDS supplies and prices until nor
NAL conditions reappear.
Unfortunately, those conditions
will be delayed until the forces of
food production can be brought to
point where all kinds of necessities
again are bountiful. When that time
arrives, it will be for the nation to
say whether it is prepared to go
back and pursue the usual chan
nels.'
The food controller paid tribute
to the American spirit of patriot
sm,' which has been willing to un-
dergo sacrifices in order to feed
England. He said he would wei
,ome II. c. Hoover. the American
God administrator, who is expected
n England shortly, and the oppor-
unity of discussing with him many
If the great business and financial
Questions of the food problem.
The policies of the late Viscount ,
ihondda would be continued BY the
ministry, Mr.. Clynes declared.
