Po - George Dezenburg, a shy
youngster of 8. came down the
gangplank Of the exchange liner
Gripysholm today with a canvas
wrapped bundle under each arm
and said he sure hoped he could
find his daddy.
Father Dezenburg is all the folks
that George has. He is believed to
be somewhere in the United States,
a soldier in the infantry.
Georges mother died in China
several years ago. His father, then
in the 18th United States Infantry,
sent the boy to the Tientsin Or
phanage, the only home George
ever has known.
George would have been just a
forgotten boy had 1t not been for
the Swiss consul in Tientsin. This
dignitary wrote TO American au-
thorities requesting that George be
included among the repatriates be-
cause he was not getting sufficient
food In the orphanage.
George found some new friends
when he reached the dock today.
The Red Cross took him in tow
and has arranged for George to
broadcast an appeal this afternoon.
Georges appeal, directed in the
hope that his father will hear 1t,
will be brief and to the point. He
will say:

Director Vera Micheles Dean of the
Foreign Policy Association of Few
York warned today that revolution
may break out in postwar Europe
If there follows a period Of eco
nomic depression.
Addressing 1000 delegates to the
Massachusetts conference of social
work, Mrs. Dean predicted that the
conditions in the conquered coun-
tries after the war may shock us
far more than the outbreak of
war"
She said that it was only by re-
storing the unassailability of the
human spirit, crushed by the Nazis,
that the United Nations could win
ultimate victory.
Fear that another period of
economic depression and personal
Illustration may succeed the war
casts its shadow over Britain and
the other countries heroically re-
sisting the Axis powers, she said
TT makes them wonder whether
the fine promises of postwar plan
ners may not evaporate like mist
at dawn when hostilities are over.
Men and women who have found
themselves urgently wanted to save
their countries from aggression will
not easily accept the prospect Of
being unwanted in peacetime
world" she continued. "At this
point, if it is reached, revolt may
take place. But it will be revolt
that could have been avoided, and
a revolt for, not against, the kind
of postwar order for which the I'm
tied Nations aver they are fight
