They Will Not Forget
Philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
We have the belief as we'll as the hope that after
this war it will be different: that misguided senti-
mentality will not permit the war criminals to es-
cape they did last time. M i
Most Americans will agree thoroughly with Mon
signor John A. Ryan, director of the National Catho-
lie Welfare Conference, who writes in the St Louis
Post Dispatch
What penalties should y be imposed upon the
leading culprits Hitler, Mussolini and their chief
associates, and the corresponding group in Japan?
The most responsible among them should be put
to death. From the viewpoint of vndicve or retri-
butve justice they richly deserve this fate from the
viewpoint of the international common good, 1t
would have salutary effect upon prospective viola
tors of international order. No mider punishment
would have an adequate, deterrent effect"
There will, of course. be powerful pressure for a
contrary after the war That was so last
time. Somehow the victors forgot to Hang the
Kaiser who was pictured in later years as kindly
old wood chopper.
1t is not mercy to let killers go free 1t is not
charity to set mental degenerates loose among de-
cent peoples and decent nations. If anything, when
this war is the victor peoples will have to be
restrained from visiting mass vengeance upon the
masses of their foes.
II you British father or mother who saw
your child moved down by strafng Nazi flier; ii
you later heard that fer boast-as did Captain
Schumann--that his murder of those helpless school
children "a merry party
You would not be content to hang Hitler Goer-
ing and Ribbentrop, and maybe few more You
would want to search Naz Germany for Captain
Schumann You would want to show him that two
can stage merry party You would want to
avenge your child cruelty slaughtered in cold blood
No, we do not believe the British or the Rus
slams, the Chinese-of the Americans this time
will forget when the is over.

only one doctor to every $500
civilians by the end of 1913.
2-Despite the sharp birth rate
increase the Army and Navy are
commissioning a large number OF
obstetricians and pediatricia1s.
3-The quota of doctors for the
armed services has been oversub-
scribed by as much as 40 percent
in some parts of the country.
4-The medical shortage is not
only acute in rural areas, but also
in industrial areas where there has
been a heavy influx of labor.

Ration Thievery

Cincinnati Enquirer
A bill has been introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives make it Federal offense to steal
embezzle any articles products, including food or
materials which are subject to rationing under Fed
eral law. The sponsor is Representative George
Dondero of Michigan and the designation of the bill
is HR. 1894 uls t
The measure is attracting wide attention
throughout the country especially among retailers of
groceries and dry goods, because it would afford a
potent means of dealing with the pilferage of ra-
toned goods. Every merchant has had to contend,
in varying degrees, with certain amount of petty
thevery and shopliftng. In ordinary times his loss
is that of the cost OF the goods stolen; but under
rationing program his loss may be much more seri-
os because he loses not only the value of the goods
but also in all likelihood the chance to replace it,
Under the regulations of the Office of Price Admin
stration merchants can replenish their stocks only
when they present ration stamps in the proper
amount Naturally, the thief who steals coffee OF
sugar or other rationed merchandise leaves ration
stamp-in fact, the theft is prompted by the desire
to get the goods without ration stamps-and there
fore the hole in the merchants stock may remain

permanently Carried on over period of time, such
thievery might become very serious threat to the
merchants means of livelihood
We question the wisdom OF placing the Federal
Government in position where it must catch and
punish petit larceny At first blush this to
be fantastic expansion of the police powers of the
Federal Government. 1t must be granted, however,
that the Federal Government has specified punish
ment (which under most circumstances seems ridi-
culousy great for evasion and Justification of ration
regulations and reports. For this reason way may
be clear for Federal law to deal with the theft and
embezzement of rationed goods.
The only practical alternative to Federal action
is local action of such efficiency and severity as to
deter all would-be thieves and embezzlers No ele-
men of the general public must be permitted to get
the notion that 1t is smart slick steal goods
subject to ration restrictions There must be some
effective safeguard against the practice. because
under strict ration control such thievery has dis
astrous consequences. M
