War of determination
Editorial in the
NEW YORK TIMES,
January 10, 1943)

The grim picture of Europe un-
der Nazi domination, painted by
C. L. Sulzberger in dispatch to
this newspaper yesterday, again
focuses attention on Hitler's ulti-
mate purpose in plunging Europe
into war and on his methods of at
tanning his goal. Once again the
Four Horsenen of the Apocalypse
gallop overs continant ravished
by famine, slaughter and degrada-
ton, by. incipient civil war, anar-
chy and social revolution, but this
time the horsemen wear Nazi uni
forms, and the whip they swing
over the tortured populations is de-
signed not only to assure Nazl
victory but also to create accom-
plished facts which will be beyond
redress even if victory should es-
cape the Nazi grip.
The accomplished facts which the
Nazis seek to create are forcefully
indicated by the fears of refugee
Governments in London that the
nations they represent face exter-
mination or permanent Gripping
unless they can obtain aid this
year. Hundreds of thousands OF
many nationalities have already
been slaughtered by the Gestapo,
millions have died of famine and
privations, and the remnants OF
some smaller nations are now being
deported, transplanted, brutalllzed
by slavery or terrorism, or-as
particularly cunning measure-pit-
ted against one another in intene-
cine strife.
All of this is part of Hitler's
total war which illustrates the real
meaning of the Nazi slogan of
''blood and soil". Through "blocd"
the blood of the conquered races
Hitler seeks to create "solP'-'
soil for the expansion of the Ger
man master race. To gain this
soil he must dispossess the con-
uuered races, and he is dispossess-
ing them by mass slaughter and
mass deportation, by Germanization
where possible, by subjection to
slavery where other methods fail.
In this effort the Germans also
pay terrific toll in blood; but the
Nazi calculation has always been
that, with proper nutrition and a
high birth rate, the hundred mil
lion Germans" can increase their
numerical preponderance in Europe
and remain firmly established in
the "empty spaces" they have
CLEARED forJe their colonization,
while other European nations are
either stunted or exterminated.
Despite all warnings in the past,
the world has been loath to accept
this Interpretation Of the German
racial theory as fact, but now the
facts themselves provide the proof
of it. "History teaches that the
annihilation of an alien people is
not contrary to the laws Of life
providing annihilation is complete"
wrote Werner Best, Nazi juridical
expert, recently, and Hitler him
self wrote in "Mein Kampf" that
for the development of higher

der to be settled by plebiscites of
the people concerned. The commen-
tator G. w. Kaltenborn stood for
the independence of the Baltic

Or. A. Mackay, Dalhousie Review,
Canada, Oct. 1942)

i
:. In comparison with the At
lantic Charter, certain significant
omissions in the treaty should. al
SO be noted. The Charter promises
the restoration of sovereign rights
and 'self-determination to the con-
quered nations of Europe, and it
declares that the parties desire "no
territorial changes that do not ac-
cord with the freely expressed
wishes of the people concerned.
Does the omission mean that the
U.S.S.R. is not agreeable to such
definite commitments for the re-
settlement of Europe? To be spec
ific, is Russia prepared to see the
petty Baltic States restored? ;.
Further, although the treaty de-
clares the parties seek no terrific
rial aggrandizement for themselves,
pertinent question is whether this
self-denial operates from Septem-
ber, 1889, o. from June, 1941. !.
1t is conceivable that Russia will
be prepared to settle her strategic
frontiers in these regions on the
basis of the status quo. ante 1889,
or on the idealistic principle of
elf-determination?

Police Took Sides

If I were to investigate the De-

mend that certain policemen be

there comes the question as to
why did the Detroit police shoot
to kill the vast majority of Col
ored and few (if any white
rioters. This is a most damag-
ing indictment against the So
called Justice" in this case.
Moreover, in many of the po-
lice killings of Colored, the vic
tim was found robbing a ruin
ed building and not attacking
anyone with a weapon. In fact
the Colored had very few wea-
pons If any, and therefore were
the natural underdog, since
they we're under siege in their
own community. Why some
police apparently took sides and
used firearms unnecessarily

DOWNINGTOWN, PA. CO.
AS a result of countrywide dis
turbances, a new regulation has
been issued at bennington In
dustrial School governing the
wearing of "zoot" suits. No boy
will be permitted to appear on
the campus dressed in that
ridiculous attire.
From present indications, the
war situation, instead of reduc-
ing the size of the student body
at Downingtown Industrial
School, will create a serious
housing problem. Despite the

A Test Case

The Detroit Riot is perhaps no
more important than the Beau
mont and other riots that have
taken place within month.
But upon this Motor City in the
north comes the national spot
light Of test case affecting all
the others. If the Colored man
loses in Detroit he loses also in
the South. This much is quite
obvious.
An investigation of the De-
troit case should reveal the same
racial tension that exists in
other areas under the promo
ton of propaganda against Col
ored workers which is being
sponsored by somebody" This
is the same poison propaganda
that was spread against the
MexicanS in California; the COL
ored troops in England and, of
course, the Colored servicemen
training in the South. The in
veStigation should reveal not
only the stooges of "Mr. Some
body but also MIR. Somebody"
himself. I insist some of the
leads will go clear to Berlin.
