TROUBLE IN TINY LEBANON

Lebanon, ancient land Ct silk and

q nation free OF French supervision.
II found its place IN front pages
crowded with war news when riots
against the French took place. t, e
Lebanese government was dissolved,
ard independence was voted. Cen
eral George Catroux was dispatched
to Beyrouth (Beirrt), the capital,
by De Gaulle, as mediator In a po-
tentially explosive situation.
Bordered on the south by Pales-
tine, and on the north by tobacco
growing Latakia, this mountainous
slice of Syria meets the Medi-

COunterfeitS

Counterfeit coupons valued at
1875 gallons of gasoline were sold
to Paul Misenti, operator of the
Walnut service station at 313 Wal
nut street, it was alleged at a
hearing before OPA Commissioner
Raymond c. Blades in Hartford
yesterday. The cost to the dealer
was set at $11O. Decision was re-
served on the suspension pre-
ceilings.
Misenti said he bought the stamps
from a man who drove up to the
station in New York car. Leniency
was asked by the local mans
lawyer who said a physical handi-
cap would prevent this client from
taking other employment. The
charges were brought also against
Josephine Misenti, who is owner Of
the station.
Other local cases will be heard
today and later IN the week.

BY RAYMOND MOLEY

After the inevitable defeat, what
elements of social and political sta
bility will be left in Germany?
Strange as 1t may seem, there will
be more than were found in Italy
There will be no king, no Badoglio;
but there will be more authentic
groups and reliable persons. This is
in part the result of the fact that
the corrosion of Fascism was at
work twice as many years as the
corrosion of Nazism. More import
ant, however, is the fact that before
the rise of Hitler, Germanys So
cial, economic, political and relig-
ious groups were more potent and
healthy than those of Italy.
AS soon as the mask of Nazism
falls, five or six groups will reap
pear to be used as the wisdom of
the conquerors dictates. The largest
of those will be the Catholic
church, which has had the adj
herence of some 80 per cent of the
German people for centuries. Some
of its leaders, like the incredibly
heroic Cardinal Won Faulhaber and
Bishop Galen of Munster, were
never completely suppressed. This
Catholic group provided the leaders
and the voting strength of a mighty
political party. The best-known re-
cent leader of this party is Helm
rich Bruning, now at Harvard. The
Protestant church will also emerge,
with its fighting leader, Niemoeller.
Hitler's puppet church, the Ger
man Christians, will disappear.
The next best organized group
is the German farm bloc. For many
years, this group included both the
big Junker landowners and the
mass of small and medium farm
owners. Its leaders were of high in
telligence. One of the best known
in pre-Hitler days was Count Key
serling, a brother of the famous
philosopher. The loyalty of this
group to Hitler has always been
doubtful. He controlled them only
by enisting man farm laborers in
his party and, then, by using these
employees to police their employers.
While about two-thirds of the
members of pre- Hitler German la
Dor unions were Socialists and
many of the rest were Communists,
the unions, as such, were not poll
tical. But they were loosely united
in their economic detectives. Hitler

, superimposed upon them his So
called Labor Front. The old unions
however, have strong under
ground organization and when Hit
Ter falls, they will reappear with
many of their former leaders. Some
of those leaders are abroad, but
available. Tarnow. the vice chair

quently been mentioned in the
American press. He is apparently
honest and able.
Industry, trade and labor were
after 1919, organized in the Eco
nonic Council of the Reich" Most
likely the industrialists will present
as their leader some present head
of an industry group who is we'll
known as a non Fascist. 1t will GER
tainly not be Fritz Thyssen, the
dumb son of an honest father, who
paid for his support of Hitler with
his freedom.
Presumably the first post-Hitler
government will be of the Badoglio
type. But who will be the equiva-
lent of the old Marshal? This may
we'll depend upon the decisions of
the general staff during the forth
coming crackup. Certainly, no out
spoken Nazi will emerge. In 1918,
it was general of South German
origin, Wilhelm Groener, who told
the Kaiser to get out. 1t may be
that the general staff will name
Keitel to perform the short Lived
and thankless job of heading the
new interim government.
No doubt the Uriah Heap Of Ger
many, DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, has
his own ideas of a comeback. But
he is too shrewd to seek a place In
the first post Hitler regime. He will
bide his time and try to cultivate
the friendship of those business peo-
pie outside Germany who used tc
admire him for his financial mes
merism and his crisp, un- German
manner of speech and action. But
it will always be remembered that
Schacht double-crossed many peo-
pie in following Hitler and that he
invented the cruel fiscal swindles
that enabled Hitler to arm without
money. He has been kicked out of
the Nazi party, but Hitler has kept
him alive, no doubt because he has
hoped to use him as an informed
larry. This was silly bit of pru-

PRIEST REVIEWS
CURRENT NOVELS.
Work Of Waterbury Writer
to Be Reviewed in Next
Lecture

In an analysis of some of the cur
rent novels Rev. John s. Kennedy,
associate editor of the Catholic
Transcript, said last night that Sean
O'Faolin was one of the finest OF
modern writer's. His style of writing
about the Irish scene, past and pre-
sent, use of words, and ability to
paint picture after picture, as he
does in his "An Irish Journey" was
discussed in the third Of a series of
lectures on current books at the Wa
terbury Catholic high school, spon-
sored by the Waterbury Council of
Catholic Women. This book, Father
Kennedy said was especially appeal
ing to one who has visited ireland.
Two novels dealing with contem-
porary problems, white imperialism
in the Orient, were we'll spoken of
in many respects by Father Ken
nedy; namely Pearl Bucks, 1.-The
Premise" and Christine Weston's,
indigo" the first dealing with
China, the second with India. Both
authors warn against the present at
titude of West towards East, and
predict race war in the days to
come unless the attitude of the
Western world is changed. The
Pearl Buck book We. escribed as
thesis novel, the authors first
concern to teach a lesson. Mrs.
Janeway is less vehemen: in her
stating the problem of India than
is Mrs. Buck about China, the
speaker said.
Another novel that presents the
bleak and narrow circumscribed
life in a New England town was
discussed, namely, The Walsh Sis
ters," by Elizabeth Janeway. The
speaker described this as novel
we'll written, but not new or origin
al the writing almost too good, but
as though written from "a clinical
record, not from life.'
Father Kennedy spoke briefly a.
bout Maggie No Doubt, by the
author of Maggie Owen" He con-
cluded his talk with brief resume
and evaluation of Ok lglas' 1.-THE
Robe, a best seller which he con-
siders melodramatic, not historical
ly true. The "big point" about the
book, he states, is the authors mis-
use of Scriptures" which are the
true, historical record of the story
of Christ. He commented on the
authors style, both modern and
archaic, and not at all literary. He
fluids the message OF the book not
too clear.
Next week in his final lecture of
the series Father Kennedy will dis

Missing In Action
Major Army Problem
Lack of Comprehensive Reports From Enemy Con-

Securing definite and accurate
information on which TO determine
the fate Of American soldiers listed
by their commanders as missing IN
action constitutes the greatest cas-
ualty problem confronting the
Army, the War Department an
nounced today.
Modern battle tactics, such as
iarge-scale landings, the mobility
ard scope of armored warfare, and
the far-reaching aerial offensive OF
global conf1ict,( have greatly in
creased the percentage of casualties
falling into this category as COM
pared with the World War, when
ground operations were more or less
static and air activity was limited.
