Germany?

Among various panaceas advanced for solution" of the German
problem is the proposition that the Allies should forcibly divide the
Reich, after victory, into three or more separate states Such an en-
forced division admittedly is not SO abhorrent as the reported proposal
Of Secretary Morgenthau to force Germany to exist as a stdy agricul-
tural nation. Sumner Wenes, who perhaps has produced more con
structive suggestions for the organization of the peace than any other
single citizen, arrived at the conclusion, in his 1.-THE Time for Decision,
that the Reich should be divided by the Allies. But he reached it re
luctantly. We believe that all who propose it are in error.
Essential though it is to end the Prussian brand of German unfit
,ation, an Allied fiat of separation would defeat it's own ends. 1t would
2nrage the German people. If maintained it would keep animosrtes
toward the conquerers alive decades after HitIers death. Thus it would
furnish emotional fuel for revived and 1ethal German nationalism,
bent o n revenge. Nor would the mere fact that the Allies imposed
political frontiers" between the German states prevent such states
from cementing, in their hate, al alliance for the formal reunion Of
Germany and alderman war.
What must be had if Germany ever is to be truly peaceable is,
We repeat, a democratic German revolution however long such revo-
ution may be in coming to reliable fruhion. Enforced separation would
work most powerfully against that end.
1t is good to read that President Roosevelt has rejected the Morgen-
thau agricultural state plan, which, by barring German industry, would
produce mass German unemployment and destroy the prospects of
European economic recovery and peace.
1t is also to be hoped that as indicated in recent dispatches, the
present plan of America and Britain is not to seek to accomplish separa-
ton by fat-afhough they will rightly encourage German movements
for emancipation from Prussiar overlordship.
The Allies must smash the Nazi government, punish var criminals
and take other direct police actions. They must prevent rearmament,
in part by economic controls; in larger part by a system Of detection
and, if required, instant military coercion. One of the advantages of
that plan is that it will not require years of military occupation after
the original disarmament is forced. Such occupation will be necessary
for a time. If projected indefinitely into the future, il, like forced sepa-
ration, would invite the emergence of a new substitute for Hitler, and
undermine all prospects of constructive revolution. The Chicago Sun.

THE DR.. JEKYLLS OF CALIFORNIA

There will be a lot of wind expended from the believing lungs
of politicians between now and the November elections. Not a single
one of these candidates for office will fail to brand Germanys Hitler
as the most atrocious monster of all time. They will yell for the benefit
of their listeners that we must Fight for freedom and crush tyranny
whenever and wherever this serpent raises it's head"
There ire many would-be Hitlers already in our Congressional
halls and in our State legislatures who, while they continue to shout
for liberty and justice, themselves seek to impose upon the trade union
movement of our nation laws that IN closely akin to those enacted in
Germany in the preliminary march of Hitler to power. One of the first
acts of Herr Hitler was to outlaw labor unions in Germany. He sub
sequently outlawed labor unions in every country his brutal hordes
invaded. In fourteen of our sovereign states small legislative Hiters
have been found to introduce laws that have for their purpose the out
having of labor unions in the United States of America.
Now Legislative "Dr. Jekyus and Mr.. Hydes' have imbbed this
same poisonous concoction in California and seek to shackle the trade
union movement there by adding to the Constitution of the Golden
State a section, part of which is as follows:
Sec. Ia: Every person has the right to work and to seek, obtain,
and hold employment without interference with Or impairment or
abridgement of said right because he does II does not belong to or pay
money to a labor organization"
That is nearly in substance what Mr.. Hitle- ordered in Germany
when ne realized that all power over the people was vested in him
alone. With the destruction of the labor movement ais an organization,
then Immediately certain other inalienable rights were taken from
other groups in Germany: The Jews were bound to the ghetto and the
Christian bible was burned. The Hiters in California legislature are
thinking in terms of the Hitler in Germany in their efforts to have this
un-Amercan amendment added to the Constitution of that liberal state

Wage Raises Not Enough

From the American Federation of Labor comes a demand for wage
increases which which will keep buying power at least as high as
present levels when war orders stop and the 40-hour week becomes
the way of American life.
The Federatonists ask for the notification Of the Little Steel
formula and point out that, with the elnpination of overtime in the
war industries the maintenance of present wage rates will greatly
We believe with the ALL that present living standards should be
maintained. However, we are compelled to asesrt that the reasoning
displayed in making this demand is woefully incomplete.
Does MI. William Green or any other unionist believe that equal
money for less work is, n tself, a guarantee of living standards? We
don't We know and most workers know what happens when the unit
cost of a product is increased by wage raises.
What will happen if the Federaions demand is met is that the
selling cost will rise with the wage bill Moreover, if the usual pro-
cedure is followed the price to the consumer will be increased even
more than the increase of the wage bill. That's how it happened in the
case of the miners, a every fuel user knows And that's how it will
happen if workers get IS many dollars for 40 hours work as they now
do for 48 hours 3
We If not obiecting to workers asking for more money. That
is a defensive measure which must be taken from time to time But we
must face facts; and the fact is that business always aims to recover
what it gives to workers-and then some.
That's how the privateprofit system operates. And when we say
that we also suggest what is necessary to obtain justice for workers.
What is needed is the abolition of the private profit economy.
Labor should now make the Specialization of industry its goal. Its quest
when they buy the necessities of life, but for the. full social value of
the product of their toll.
That's what Socialists in and out of the Federation want. Until
the economy OF the nation is socialized and all it's products distributed
upon the basis of service instead of ownership, the claim for ever in
creasng wage rates will continue to keep workers battling for benefits
that are illusory-The Reading Labor Advocate.
