might step two PAGES forward
and, with both feet planted
firmly on solid ground, yell
Fore" and then tee off by re-
citing in clear voice and words
of one syllable just what's going
TO be done with Germany.
So far most speeches that
have been made on postwar
matters have come from cosmic
thinkers who have taken their
stance with both feet planted
firmly 10 feet in the air, and

don't tell the Germans what S
gonna happen to them next.
You may search the transcript
of U. S. propaganda broadcasts
to the Germans TO find what
specific hopes can be held out
to the German people, but in
vain. The one definite utterance
that means anything came out
of the Rooscvelt-C Churchill Casa

ed that the Axis powers must

AZ FROM MARS
Meanwhile, producers ar e
talking to most of their young
masculine stars by V mail.
Orson Welles, tentatively
classed as AZ, said the uncer-
tainty of it all was getting him,
and asked for an Army examin-
alton to determine his status per-
manently so he could plan ahead.
He was found to be in terrible
physical condition, and was &C
ceptcd for limited service. He'll
probably get a desk job and re-
place a WAAC for active duty.
Enrol Flynn is definitely AZ.
But unless fathers are definitely
exempted, nearly all the other
still-civilian boys who are elig-
ible to be teamed on the screen
with our glamor girls are also
eligible to be teamed at the front
with our planes and tanks.
Among those with children
are Bing Crosby, Joel McCrea,
Gary Cooper, Ray Milland,
Dick Powell, Don Ameche, Bob
Hope, Fred MacMurray, Brian
Donlevy, and George Raft. War

been led, West would have won

which would later have
prevented Crosse from making
his end play.
After winning the first trick,
three spade tricks were cashed,
with the hope of dropping the
jack. West discarded a heart on
the third spade. Now three dia-
mond tricks were cashed. West
was down to four hearts and the
king and one club. At this point
Crosse led a heart and threw
West in the lead. All West could
do was to cash his four good
heart tricks, but then had to
lead a club into dummy's ace

It becomes our duty today 10
lay the facts in the case of Kay
Kyser before the jury of Ameri-
can public opinion and right an
injustice which the victim HIM
self suffered for many weeks in
silence, like the good trouper
that he is.
Kyser was accused OF having
tried TO get himself deferred
from the draft, charge which
apparently first became public in
an editorial attack upon the
band leader published by an
eastern newspaper.
The fact is, Kay Kyser never
requested a deferment at all. On
the contrary. he has always been
ready to answer his country's
call to arms, if that call should
come. When finally classified in
Ia, he said he was ready and
rarin' to go" into the Army.
What really happened was
that Elmer Davis, head of Owl,
requested the deferment for
him. Davis, who was aware of
Kysers efforts on behalf of
Army morale, bond drives and
other patriotic causes, thought
that the hep cats Clifton Fadi-
man could do more for his coun-
try in his academic zoot suit
than he could in a uniform, and
wrote letter to that effect to
General Hershey Of Selective
Service six months ago.
When the eastern newspaper
published its misinformed at
tack on Kyser, Davis wrote the
editor, correcting the mistake
and enclosing a letter from a
wounded United States sailor
who had witnessed one of KY
ser's hospital shows. The sailor
expressed touching appreciation
and concluded, Guys like
Kyser ARE essential to the war
effort" Elmer Davis agreed with
him.

make a vulnerable overcall OF a

better off without them. But
handling the Germans won't be
so simple, though there are
those who believe that the only
good German is dead German
and the only thing to do with
Germany is break her up in lit
tie pieces like humpty Dumpty,
which can never be put together
again. Something of that sort
was tried after the last war and.
if memory is correct, there was
a thing called the Polish Corri-
dor which didn't seem to work.
No, Germany is tougher nut to
crack.
Maybe il isn't anything to try
the jaws of the Anglo-Ameri-
can pincers. Maybe the Soviet
will get TO the Rhine before the
British-U. S. second front eX-
peditionary force can reach it,
so there's nothing for our side to
worry about. Preposterous, of
course.
The Foreign Policy Associa-
ton recently put out good
study of this whole problem of
What Future for Germany"
written by its editor, Vera Mi
chelis Dean. Her pamphlet is by
no means conclusive, but il does
ask a lot of questions which
other people should be thinking
about.
QUESTION ON GERMANY
Can the Germans be won
away from Hitler? Any organ
lied opposition to Hitler, in or
out Of Germany, is today practi-
cally nonresident. There is mass
hatred of those elements which
have been under the Hitler heel,
but that does not make gov
eminent and no one would con-
slider leaving Germany's future
TO the races or creeds which
have been most victimized.
How shall Germany be pun
ished? Will it be sufficient to
punish Nazi party leaders? Or
should the German army itself
be dcstroyed-not merely beat
en- as it was in the last war.
Must Germany pay separations?
In the last war she paid only So
billion, and suspended payments
10 years before the date called
for in the Versailles Treaty.
Should Germany be permitted
TO have revolution? Should the
. United Nations adopt a hands
off, policy aafter the war, per-
hitting the German people to
form a new government of their
own devising? Would not such a
government tend TO be purely
communistic, the force Of COM
munism being~the strongest Of
the anti-Hjt4er movements? And
have not the English-speaking
nations something 10 fear in
llldl pooSiDllity
Should the United Nations po-
lice Germany? Is the establish
mcnt of a postwar military gov
eminent necessary to maintain
or der throughout Germany?
What share of such military
government should go to the
United States? Great Britain?
Russia?
Should German labor be
forced to rebuild cities Of Europe
which her army has destroyed?
Can Germany be reformed in
the sense of re-educated? Hitler
now holds unquestioning loyalty
OF today's German youth, tomor-
rows German citizens. Must
Germany be policed till that
generation is dead and a new
generation, educated in democ-
racy, takes over?
Before worrying about the
rest of the world, decide what
you would do with Germany.

SLAVE LABOR

Two important objections have been rosed against

straight to it's heort-to the question whether any
industrial droft oct should be adopted
The first stresses thot voluntary methods have
not yet been given opportunity TO prove themselves.
If labor boarding. Encouragement short work weeks,
obsenteeism, feother-bedding racial discrimination
and similar practices we're abolished there would be
no need for labor droft nov, if ever
But as we have pointed out before, the admins
troton never has shown any intention Of cracking
down such practices, and probably will not until
the political millennium arrives.
The second objection, voiced most recently by
President Green Of the American Federation Of L.
bor is that an industrial droft would impose nvolun-
tory servitude in violation Of the 9th amendment
and Of "our most basic and cherished concepts Of
freedom"
That is Just as true Of q labor droft os it is Of q
