formed the operation successfully.
The nearest surgeon who had per-
formed the feat, he was told, was
thousands of miles away in Boston.
The invalid booked passage on the
British steamer Umtata and sailed
from Cape Town for New York City
in February. During the early days
of the trip the ships officers dis
covered that a submarine was trail
ing the Umtata, but the ship eluded
the sub by zig-zagging.
When the Umtata reached Port
Castris, st. Lucia, small British
island near Martinique, Mr.. Behr-
man said, everyone aboard, includ-
ing a half dozen Americans. went
to sleep on deck because of the heat.
During the night terrific eXplo-
sion knocked him from his deck
chair. A torpedo had struck Can
adian ship nearby.
Suddenly there was another ex-
plosion. Red flame and a geyser of
water enveloped the Umtata. Mr.
Behrman started toward his room
to get his papers but was stopped
by ships officer who said the
boat was sinking. He made the
shore just as the ship disappeared
beneath the water. Five crew mem
bers of the Umtata were killed. On
the Canadian ship, also sunk, 10
lost their lives. Both ships later
were salvaged.
Mr.. Behrman made his way to
Miami by plane and then to Boston
where the operation was performed
successfully by DR.. Jason Mixter.
The operation, he said, made news
for an American medical journal.
After several months recuperation
he came to Washington to join the
purchasing mission.
Two months ago Mr.. Behrman
registered in New York for selective
service. A doctor at a New York
induction center discovered the op-
Grafton and before he was released
half dozen doctors had examined
him like guinea pig" and one
even gave lecture about the op-
eraticn to the other physicians.

barren steppes, the Red Army's plan
to hem in and destroy the 100000
Germans stalled about Stalingrad
slowed in its pace and became less
spectacular, but the warmly clothed
Russians proceeded methodically
with the task.
Kletskaya Strongly Defended.
BY recapturing Kletskaya, which
had been in German hands since
last August, the Russian avalanche
closed an important gap in its curv-
ing line and cleaned out one of the
key points held by the Germans in
the Don loop west of Stalingrad and
east of the Russian spearhead.
Kletskaya, which dominates the
northern side of the Don bend oppo-
site Surovikino or the south side of
the loop, was described as heap of
ruins, with 760 houses destroyed and
only seven of its original inhabitants
surviving the three-month battle for
its possession. The Germans had
erected a strong defense system
about the city in the form of sue
cessive lines of trenches running
back one to two miles.
AS the Germans, thrown back
eastward of the Don, saw the giant
Russian trap swapping shut and
threatening almost momentarily to
cut of their line of retreat to the
south, they launched repeated coun-
terattacks, but front line dispatches
said these were smashed almost at
their inception.
The overall picture of the man.
moth Soviet offensive Yesterday
showed that the drive which started
from northwest of Stalingrad had
carried all before it on it's initial
surge toward the southwest and
south and now was looping back
toward Stalingrad, driving the Nazis
across the Don and into the path
OF a second great Russian force
pounding west along the Stalingrad-
Rostov railroad.
Exhausted German divisions,
many of them shorn of a great
part OF thelr armor and other equip
ment, were reported to be under
relentless attack as they retreated
toward Stalingrad At one point
Cossack cavalry, plunging swiftly
through the snow, was reported
to have blocked a Nazi detachment
and hacked it to pieces with sabers.
Stalingrad Joins Assault.
The Russians inside Stalingrad
joined the assault, launching a
frontal attack on their besiegers and
ejecting the Nazis from several
buildings in a factory area after

BY MICHAEL STRAIGHT,
Editor of The New Repuhlic

Mr.. Straight Opens: There have
always been controls over interna-
tional trade In the 30s there were
tariffs, exchange controls, barter ar
rangements and the secret agree
ments of international cartels that
moved 20 per cent of the world S
trade. If international trade pro-
notes peace, then this system fails.
World trade in 1887 was 20 per cent
below 1929. The world of the 3Os
led to unemployment, Fascism and
war.
Today world trade is governed by
direct controls. Government moves
the trade of Britain, China, Russia
and America. Between these coun-
tries trade is directed by the joint
boards of the United Nations.
These controls have arisen in an
swer to the pressing problems of
war. But the problems of war do
not end with the armistice. The de-
struction and the shortages caused
by war, the urgent need for relief
supplies will continue for at least
four years. Since the problems of
the relief period are similar to those
Of the war, it is altogether logical
that the wartime machinery should
be maintained to meet them.
Beyond the relief period I believe
that the old restrictive controls can
be abolished and the world trade
moved in part by private enterprise
restored only If the wartime ma
chinery regulates world trade in pri-
mary produce and finances world
reconstruction.
Mr.. Kettaneh Challenges: Fallacy
No. !: The evils of the 30s were
the evils of government control
which took the place of the free
trade policy of the British empire
of the 18th century, a period of phe-
nomenal peace and prosperity.
Fallacy No. 2: The controls which
Mr.. Straight now suggests are the
very controls which the democracies
condemned when Germany en-
plOyed them
Fallacy No. 3: These are the con-
trolls which anger nations and pro-
woke wars as evidenced by the fact
that the denocracies ignored the
massacre of Chinese and Abyssin-
ians, but fought when the free flow
of international trade became OBJ
structed by totalitarian controls.
Mr.. Straight Replies: Mr.. Ket-
taneh confuses democratic and Fas-
cist government and asserts that all
state controls are evil We might
as well say that because the Nazis
walk and breathe, it is evil to walk
and breathe.
Russia, China, Britain and Amer
lea should join now in a relief and
reconstruction council. They should
create United Nations Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. to finance world
reconstruction. World production
should continue to be controlled by
the present joint board machinery
of the United Nations. To minimize
armaments, air transportation and
shipping should be kept under world
management. This machinery un-
der the United States could guar
antee permanent peace

1t was launched several days ago,
the special communique said, and
since then the Russians have re-
peatedly broken the German strong
points
(Velikie Luki is some 130 miles
northwest of Smolensk, key Rus
sian city held by the Germans.
There is the possibility that the
Red offensive, If it generates suf-
ficient power, might sweep down
behind Smolensk in a great en-
veloping maneuver designed to
force the Germans back out of
that vital sector.)
For an operation of such magni-
tude, the Russians announced the
capture of only about 400 prisoners.
The communique said material cap
tured included 1873 guns, 110 NOR
tors, 593 machine-guns, 1892 rifles,
ammunition dumps, stores of provi-
sions and supplies.
One hundred and six guns. 1870
mortars, 300 machine gums and so
tanks have been destroyed, the
special communique added.
The regular Soviet communique
issued shortly after the special
victory announcement reported that
the defenders of Stalingrad have
entirely recaptured the factory
area in the northern part of that
battered city.
"Our troops in the area of Stall
ingrad overcame enemy resistance
and continued their offensive in
previous directions" the regular war
report said
Nazi Counterattacks Costly.
The communique said the Rus
slams had recaptured IS populated
places and a railroad station.
There was particularly bitter
fighting northwest of the city, the
Russians said, and the Axis left
many hundreds of dead on the field
after trying in vain to hold up the
Russian sweep by counterattacks.
Giving the enemy no respite, the
Red Army hurled the last German
forces back across the Don River
west of Stalingrad yesterday and
wheeled eastward in a mighty drive
to smash the Nazi Army before
the beseiged citadel.
BY occupying the great Cossack
settlement Of Kletskaya on the west
bank of the Don 80 miles northwest
of Stalingrad, the Russians COM
pleted the first major part of their
early winter offensive as German
casualties mounted to 100000 killed
and captured.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!
Would Continuance of Government Control
Over Foreign Trade Aid Lasting Peace?
As Debated BY
BY F. A. KETTANEH,

bIIeClOI OF Rotary International
Mr.. Kettaneh opens: 1t should be
remembered that the roads to war
and hell are paved with good inten-
tions, Americans today are fired
with the best of intentions, but my
first-hand knowledge of the hopes
and aspirations of most nations
prompts me to sound a warning
note.
Total victory will bring unlimited
opportunities coupled with unes-
capable responsibilities to help DO
lice the world and wean the oncom-
ing totalitarian generations from the
doctrine OF subservience to the state.
The American way of life cannot be
imposed by decree, it must grow nat
urally through the free exchange of
ideas, ideals, goods and services.
World solidarity requires nations
to surrender some sovereign rights to
make international justice enforce
able and create democratic interna-
tional control of finance, banking,
communication, transportation, tar
ifs.
However, trade and commerce
must remain in private hands oper-
ating within the framework of the
above controls. Americans should
beware of making a WPA project
OF the international economy lest
their intentions be again miscon-
strued.
We are fighting to destroy totali-
tartan controls of trade and produc-
ton. Government control is not
only Wasteful, graft-ridden and
cumbersome; it is a constant source
OF international irritation and ill
Will-the forerunner of all wars.
Mr.. Straight challenges: EVIDENT
ly Mr.. Kettaneh agrees with much
Of my argument. But I question
his statement about the hopes and
aspirations of nations. China and
Russia have already indicated that
their foreign trade and heavy in
dustry will remain state monopoly.
Britain, like most other nations, is
determined to maintain her wartime
controls. Like 1t or not, government
is going to operate industry and
trade over a great part of the world.
In this world of government opera
ton, old controls, designed to reg
ulate private operation, will lose
their meaning. We need new con-
trolls over government, world con-
trolls.
Mr.. Kettaneh replies: Mr..
Straight infers that state controls,
considered reprehensible when prac-
tlced by Fascist bureaucrats, be-
comes virtuous when operated by
bureaucrats in democracies, but the
universal dissatisfaction with pres
ent arbitrary trade controls DEM
onstrates that Government control
is clumsy, wasteful, irritating and
justified only by total war.
Mr.. Straight's panacea is an age
old fallacy. 1t would be tragic if
Americans unwittingly enabled

The infinitesimal fraction OF the

OFFICIAL MURDER
For some time reports have come
out Of Germany of the Nazis' pagan
practice Of putting to death invalids
and those who are judged incurable
or "unproductive citizens" Staunch
testimony to the truth Of these re-
ports and ringing condemnation
OF the practice has recently been
published in the third of the great
sermons Of Bishop Won Galen.
"On orders from Berlin" patients

homes, and after an interval their
families are told that the patients
have died, that their bodies have
been cremated and that their ashes
may be claimed. Mentioning the
clinic of Waestein from which l
am told 300 patients have been re-
moved, the Bishop declared this
law Of God and the laws of Ger
many.
AN ACTUAL EXAMPLE
Il want to give you an example
of what is actually happening"
Bishop Won Galen stated.
"At Marienthal there was a man
of about SIS years old, a peasant,
who for some years had been suf-
fering from some mental disease and
had been in the provincial clinic of
Marienthal He was not completely
mad, he could receive visitors and
liked his family to come and see
him. About fortnight ago he had
visit from his wife and son, a SOL
der at the front, who was home on
leave. The son was very devoted
to his father and was very upset
when he left him, for who could
know if he would see him again, for
he might fall on the field of battle
fighting for his countrymen.
This son, the soldier, will never
see his father again in this world,
because he has been put on the list
Of unproductives; one of the mem
berS of the family who went to see
the father at Malienthal was re-
fused admission and was told that
by order Of the Council of Ministers
of National defense the patient had
been removed elsewhere but no one
knew where.
can official notice will be sent to
the family in few days time What
will this notice contain? viii it be
like other similar notices, that the
man has died, that the body has
been cremated, and that the ashes
will be handed over On the receipt
of money to cover expenses? And
so the son who is at the front risk
ing his life for his German country
men, will never see his father again
because his German countrymen
have put him to death"
