To Destroy German Forces

1t now appears that the surrender or die
ultimatum from Teheran was the Pigment of
an overwrought imagination. Instead Roose-
welt, Stain and Churchin cor..ented themselves
with telling the Germans that their armies
would be destroyed
This declaration of intention is far better
than any ultinatum in that it provides no
alternative. The Big TIL gives Germany no
terms. The armed forces when spread de-
struction and terror throughout Europe are
to be crushed What place the German people
may be accorded thereafter is another matter
altogether The present pul poses is to elini-
nate organized resistance, utterly crush the
Hitlerites.
It might seem that this is getting the cart
before the horse, except that the United States.
Great Britain and Soviet Russia are at last
strong enough to 90 the job. b. continuing
the fight the German forces can only POSTPONE
their downfall.
Undoubtedly there will be peace offers fol-
lowing the Teheran conferences, as there were
before they were held. The con1erees have
made it quite clear, however taat no offers
can be accepted I'VE have concerted our
plans for the destruction Of the German forces.
We have reached agreement as to the scope
and timing Of operations which will be un-
dertaken :" Thus one Teheran declaration
definitely excludes any proposal for peace
until the German forces are actually destroy
ed The statement made by FIR. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Churchill Casablanca year ago,
in which it was announced tina. only ''uncon-
ditional surrender would be acceptable, now
has the endorsement of Joseph Stain, premier
OF Russia, through mis- signature at Teheran.
The Teheran declaration On peace may be
summed up IN Drief exccrpt--"to make a
peace which will command the good will Of
the overwhelming masses of the peoples OF
the world and Danish the scourgc and terror
of war for many generations" To do this
it is obvious that in addition to the overthrow
q militarlsm in Germany at present the Unit
ed Nations will also have to frame a policy
which will prevent its resurrection. II is too
early to expect any definite statement Of what
this policy will be, but it is clear that Rooge.
welt, Stain and Churchill have reached de-
eision for maintaining world peace
If dispatches dealing with IT,. Teheran con.
ferences appear lacking in detail and lead
any one to believe them nconclusive, it NAV
be added that we outside Germany can find
more satisfaction in the little we are told
than can the Germans and especially the Ger
man army leaders.
