Much as he unquestionably needs
to be exterminated. it's hardly to
be expected that he'll be acquies-

The German people, however,
may be more so. There's been some
evidence of considerable discomfort
in the Fatherland with Berlin's re-

that the rank-and-file Of its inhabi-

to have him liquidated.
Disarmament First
The chance II recognized that
the average German will shy away
from the Roosevelt-Churchill dis
armament or arms limitation plan.
The schedule aims at all-around
abandonment of the use of force"
but it's made clear that countries
like Germany and the rest Of the
Axis group are TO be disarmed first;
the democracies propose to remain
pretty well armed, to keep the
gangsters in order until the latter
have demonstrated, by reason

they'll STAY decent into the in

Japan Might Revolt
II isn't certain, to be sure, that
an obvious fzzle of its Oriental

The Japs chemically are in terrible
