This Changing World

worth their while to get rid of the
HohenZollerns and their camarilla be-
cause President Wilson's peace terms
were just and humanitarian.
The people behind the strongly forti-
fled lines organized by Marshal Paul Won
Hindenburg and Gen. Erich Won Luden-
dorff were softened by Mr. Wilson's fair
peace pledges, long before the Allied
artillery opened up. The German people
at home and the German troops at the
front did not want to fight any longer
when 1t was obvious that by the over
throw of kaiserism they could continue
to live as nation
No such preparation Is now being
made. 1t Is true that the expression
unconditional surrender" coined at
Casablanca in moment of exuberance,
was not repeated either in the Teheran
communique or in President Roosevelt's
Christmas speech. However, German
soldiers and the German people have
been warned that Naziism and Prussian
militarism must be eradicated before
Germany can be accepted as member
of the family of civilized nations.
Naziism is an abscess which military
defeat would remove without trouble.
Militarism is, however, an evil which
has been endemic in Germany for hun
dreds of years.
But what is more important is the
Allied decision that the war criminals
would be brought to trial and punished.
If this were confined to Hitler and his
gang who were responsible for the war
it is doubtful that many Germans would
be opposed to their execution. But war
criminals appear to include subordinates
acting under orders as well as the
principals.

RuiIroud Seizure

The President has been forced to
seize the railroads because one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
workers, acting through intransigent
leaders, were willing and able to
coerce the Government of this
country. When the verbal camou-
flage is stripped off, this essential
fact remains-that the Government
and the country, war or no war, are
at the mercy of relatively few men
In a relatively few unions.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not want to take
over the railroads. He knew that
railroad management has done a
superb job in this war, and he knew
that there was no issue between rail
management and labor The i'm
pending strike, which compelled him
to act, was a threat aimed exclusively
at the Government, and the Govern
ment has had to yield. 1t must have
been bitter pill for the President.
Ten years ago he embarked on a
deliberate program of building up
and strengthening unions. The pur-
pose, it was said, was to make the
unions as strong as the employers
to establish proper balance in in
duStry. And now, within decade,
we have reached a point where the
big employers have been pushed out
of the picture. They are entirely
helpless and cannot even keep their
businesses when threatened by labor.
The real struggle now is between
organized labor and Government,
and no sensible person can doubt
that, under the existing setup, labor
is the stronger of the two The
diSSident rail unions have merely
corroborated what had already been
proved - that any strategically
placed union, though it may repre-
sent but fraction of the people, can
easily bend the Government to it's
will. This is a fact that should not
be overlooked as coal strikes, steel
strikes or railroad strikes are patched
up by makeshift compromises, for it
is a fact that will remain to harass
us in the future.
AS has been said, the President, in
seizing the railroads, took the only
practical course that remained open
at this stage. Presumably, it will
keep the railroads running, and that
must be done if we are to fight the
war But it will not resolve any of
the basic issues. In the case of the
two operating unions that had
agreed to submit their claims to
arbitration by the President, an
award has been announced. They
were entitled to an increase of four
cents an hour under the Little Steel
formula. They are to get nine cents,
plus one weeks vacation Five of the
innocent increase is an Offset for
overtime. Actually, under this ar
rangement it is not necessary for
them to work overtime to receive the
overtime pay. 1t is an assumption
that amounts to a fiction, but it will
suffice as compromise. Undoubt-
edly, if the strike is called off, similar
compromises will be made with the
other rail unions, and the trains will
run. Thus, the immediate goal will
have been attained. That is on the
credit side of the ledger. On the
other side is the implicit confession
that the Government has no real
wage policy, and big question mark
as to whether such a policy could be
enforced if it did exist.

Letters to The Star
Unity Wanted
In Behalf of Victory.

OHtty WdnleO
In Behalf of Victory.
To the Editor of The Star:
The biggest issue before the American
people today is the need for unity to
enable us to win the war and insure the
peace.
Unity today is not achieved as readily
as when we were treacherously attacked
at Pearl Harbor. Then we were shocked
into forgetting Our petty differences to
hight the common enemy.
Fortunately for us, our position in the
geography of the war is that we are
thousands of miles from the fighting
fronts, where our soldiers and those of
our Allies are spilling their blood. And
this very remoteness from the battlefieIds
has made it difficult for us to see the
war picture as whole and to realize
the position of each individual in the
struggle.
But we have learned that we no longer
can ignore the rest of the world. By the
adoption OF Congress and the approval
OF the majority of the American people
as expressed in various polls we now are
agreed that we are one in a family of
nations.
However our most urgent task is unity
at home for continued production. We
have to give up the pre-Pearl Harbor
luxuries OF using the manufacture of the
materials of war to get rich; of stopping
production no matter how valid the
grievance might be, by slow-d downs or
strikes: of discrimination against any
race because of the color of its skin.
ana OF intolerance and bigotry because
OF differences of religious worship.
And we must ask Congress to give up
its pre-Pearl Harbor luxury of sectional
and special interests and to devote all its
energies to sucn legislation as will pro-
mote greater unity in winning the war
and peace. Also, we must remind those
who are berating the people on the home
front that almost every family has some
loved one in the armed services of his
country. The ire OF those individuals
could be directed with more Justice to
thoSe who have failed to give leadership
ana direction to the taskes of individual
people on the home front

But this was not the throwing down of

So far as I can tell, Congress re-
fused delivery, and the missive is lying
in one of the Capitol corridors.
Actually, the President has been fol-
lowing a kind of scorched-earth policy
