A Job Well Done

The cutting back Of the round
the-clock aircraft warning service,
which has been manned primarily
by some 100000 civilian volunteers,
serves to emphasize the unsel1sh
and eXaCting contribution which
these men and women have made
TO their cOuntry's war effort
The aircraft warning service vas
organized quickly after Pear! Harbor.
At that time, no doubt, there was a
certain novelty attraction to the
undertaking. But the spoilers. man
ming their observation posts twenty
four hours a day for nearly two
years, stuck to their Self-appointed
tasks after the novelty had worn off
and after the seemingly imminent
threat Of enemy air attacks had
substantially abated.
Underlying the decision to dis
continue active operation of the
civilian warning system was the
desire to devote the time and ener-
gleS Of the volunteers to other forms
Of civilian defense work and the
expectation Of casing the strain on
vital communications facilities. 1t
does not mean that all danger of air
raids has passed, nor that defeat OF
the enemy is in sight. On the con-
trary, there remains a great deal of
work that these public spirited
citizens can do.
Many of them undoubtedly will
turn to other forms Of defense ac-
tlvity. But as they leave their OBJ
servation posts, which they have
manned SO faithfully day and night,
in good weather and bad, they can
turn to their new pursuits with the
confident knowledge that theirs has
been a hard job we'll done.

remedy is to kick out the politicians
and put some labor men in" That
is proposal which probably will not
meet with general favor, but it is
important to note that the UAW-
CIO is fully alive to the serious
shortcomings in the distribution and
use Of the available working force
If there is any complacency about
this important matter, it does not
exist in the ranks of that organiza-
ton.

Says Conference With Soviets
Should Avoid Postwar Problems.

To the Editor of The Star
1t is certain that the several confer
ences that President Roosevelt had with
Prime Minister Churchill dealt with
winning the war and not with such post
war problems as India, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines
Had some clerk of the State Depart
ment met with Mr. Churchill to demand
British aims in postwar boundaries and
trade, naturally Mr. Churchill would
have been insulted and no accord could
have been reached on how to defeat the
enemy.
Yet many thoughtless people propose
just this kind of conference with the
Russians, which, they seem to think,
would help win the war and improve
relations.
There can be no fruitful conference
with the Soviets that does not discuss the
second front nor has any American be-
sides the President the authority to dis
cuss military plans with another country.

Partitioning of Prussia

To the Editor Of The S.ar:
A recent writer says the Germans are
not all bad. This statement is un-
doubtedly true. At the same time. thev
are dangerous people. They plainly
believe they ought to follow their leaders
in eVcrything-even in criminality-just
so they are German leaders. Who are
their leaders? Answer: Their civil Off
cials.
Whatever their selfish and ambitious
chiefs order the Germans to do, they
feel bound to obey and Go They will
eagerly obey because it is ordered. Obey!
Obey! This is pretty rough on the non
NaZis.
What has made the Germans this
way? 1t is because they have been
drilled into it for generations. Not
merely since Hitler came into office. but
for generations back. What is the in
strumetnality by which this perversion
of a most excellent people. such as the
Germans used to be, has been brought
about?
1t is the Prussian government.
The kings Of Prussia have seized every
opportunity to invade and annex other
German states. This has continued until
Prussia, which, is simply one state in
the German federal union Che United
States of Germany outweighs all the
other states put together, in popula-
ton, area and power. What do the
rights of the other states amount to?
What is the remedy? 1t is to parti-
ton Prussia. Not to partition Germany
but Prussia! Germany and Prussia
are not the same, though it does seem
now that Prussia does run Germany, and
this is the source Of all the mischief that
has been done.
Prussia, this one state of the German
Empire or United States of Germany
should be divided into 10 or IS, or maybe
into 20 states, all about the same size
and power-none able to overbalance

paper rivals the line put forth by
the fascist Goebbels. He speaks
as an authority on the UE, pre-

attempts to utilize internal differ

not only employers who fear the

employers under contract with the

the destruction of labor unions the
