l Rules for the Occupation Offic

!. You entering Germany, not liberator but as
victor. You supposed to govern the country and
you will not be regarded a master unless you are
strict and aloof.
2 Never give way Anything that is granted favor
will be regarded by the German his right, and he
will subsequently demand twice as much. He thinks
fair play is cowardce.
g. Always speak English when dealing officially with the
Germans. They understand English, or they will find
friends who do AS you speak German, YOU
will not be regarded as a boss.
I. Do not keep smiling. Never offer cigarette to
visitor whom you do not know well. Nor offer him
your hand The Germans will respect you as long as
they in you to Hitler who never offered
them his hand.
5. Always wear a uniform, civilian clothes A
uniform is the symbol of authority to the Germans
who, for 800 years. have been governed by soldiers
In hotels, restaurants and theate always insist on
having the best rooms and seats. Pay the full price
and spend as much money as you can. Always give
high tips.
g. Be polite to women but be cordial as you are in
your country. Do not f1rt with them. They would
think 1t their duty to beray you to their countrymen
T. Give visible preference to German who has been

and western parts to America.
Division Is Approved.
This division seems to correspond best
with the psychology of the German
tribes. The Prussians are much too
rigorous and stif1 to comply with the
American keep smiling" philosophy.
which, however, will appeal to the
Rhinelanders. And these, on the other
hand,s are too agile and emotional to
agree with a certain stiffness belong
ing to the British. The Russians will
find many similarities to their own
customs and character among the Prus-
slams, who have big percentage Of
Slavic blood deriving from the Wends,
Obotrites and other Slavic tribes.
The British will find race and a
language very similar to their own in
the "Plattdeutsch" dow GERMANY of
the northwestern plains. Hamburg and
Bremen, or as much Of them as still
exists, resemble English seaports in their
way of life, and it was not by mere
chance that, in 1919 Hamburg proposed
to be united to England. In the south
part of their zone, the British would
have the Saxons, the very race Of their
forefathers.
Though, on the side of the vanquished,
the aversion to the victors is a general
one, the degree Of hatred differs in the
different tribes and parts of the country.
The feelings on the side of the victors
are also very different. In America,
which has experienced no bombings
and few wartime restrictions, there is
no real hatred of Germany. Besides,
the American is by nature more ex-
pansive than the Englishman, who is
reticent with foreigners. In the case
of the Germans, the English justly
feel that they first were cheated and
then forced to terrible sacrifices. For
this reason, the British will be the,
ones to administer strict judgments in
Germany. s

The national debt need not be the
dinner-table bugaboo which it's rapidly
becoming.
The actual figures, put down on
paper, indicate that it's not an in
surmountable problem
With proper management of the
country's production, it could prove no
more worrisome than properly
financed mortgage on the homestead.
And, too, the national debt payments
can be made, or not made, according to
the country's current fiscal health.
BY this time, the country will be in
the red to the tune Of $l98 ,OO0, 900 900,
by the following June $258, ,000, 900 900
and by the end of the war, an estimated
$500, 1000, 600, 900.
After the first World War, in 1919, the
debt was $25 400, ,00o, 900, or 1928 for each
person.
If the debt now goes to 5000, ,000, 900,
we'll owe 81, i'll EACH. How do we pay 1t
of? Can we? How long will 1t take?
Those questions have started a battle
OF ink and oratory. Confined, a few
months back, to publications which go
to banks, industrial managers and
economists the worry is breaking out
now IN all directions. Every one is called
on to consider 1t, particularly the new
millions who are paying income taxes,
quite startled to find they're capitalist"
Two Schools Of Thought.
There are two violent opposed schools
Of thought. One loosk at he debt in
the orthodox way: A dark cloud which
must be dispelled as soon as feasible.
The other asks, rs it necessary to tax
ourselves to pay the debt? We only owe
1t to ourselves. So actually is there any
harm in just letting the debt stay on
the debit side of the Treasury books?
Harold G. Moulton of the Brookings
Institution, is the most vocal of the
orthodox school. He has book out
THE New Philosophy of the National
Debt" tearing apart the new school.
He warns that 'the national debt is
the gravest danger facing the country
today" and he doesn't exclude the war,
Stuart Chase, the accountant who
turned writer-economist, says the debt
is nothing to worry about: that If we
contrive to keep our production high,
resulting taxes will take care Of every
thing.
He advocates that we meet the peace
as we met the war; 60 right ahead and
produce enough to give us all a decent
life.
The argument has Washington split
wide open. No one seems to know the

70. Make every entering your service give you an
account of his former dongs under the Nazis, also
account Of what he did and thought under the republic
Many Germans who claim to be anti-Nazi today
revengsts under the republic and enthusiastically
helped in the secret rearmament. Even most of the
Socialists supernatonalistic. Only those who
their European and international eanings during
the republic be counted to cooperate with
occupation army.
H. Be guard against professors who quote English
literature and history German professor is bound to
be more arrogant than learned The fact that he has
taught theories for 10 years is not criminal
his revenge sermons at the time of the republic
L. 1t will be of to you to get acquainted with dozen
tolerant maxims and quotations from Goethe and
Schiller. Take time to learn these by heart Then you
will be able and then to make of them your
English conversation. This will be very effective and
more impressive than quoting ideas from your American
classics
3 Forget the American habit of meeting every one in an
open way. Distrust everybody who has given you
proof of his honesty. Then after weeks, the
Germans will realize that under your government,
personality and character count higher than military
grades.
a. Never forget that you in enemy country-even
when all the secret arms and bombs have been de-
stroyed Hate and the will for revenge will live in
the hearts OF German adults after this after
the last one. The only way to get along with the
Germans Is to make them respect you-to make them
feel the hand Of the master.

Living costs have risen 23.1 per cent
since Pearl Harbor. That makes 500
worth about $7425. But that's still
better than the s613O in 1899
Then there's the gloomy side. Sup
pose factories close when the war con-
tracts are ended, men are out of work,
and income and taxes drop to the 1892
point.
That's where every one throws in the
sponge. In that year our national in
come was only $50 billions. Pose that
against the S26 billion expected Federal
expense, as I did to a well-known Gov
ernment economist (who wouldn't be
quoted) and he spread his hands and
said. Bankruptcy"
But it never gets to a place where the
debt of a government swallows up the
income. The protest against high taxes
forces the government to borrow. The
increasing borrowing throws new money
into the markets, and imitation is on the
way.
Germany after the last war is the
perfect example. But she made an error
we are not making. She put on war
for which she thought q defeated
France would pay, and did not increase
taxes until very late. At the end she
had huge debt, and huge reparations
to pay. ~--. -----
Pay Nearly Half.
Prices skyrocketed, so that finally 1t
actually took a suitcase full of money
to buy loaf Of bread. One day the
government just said the money was no
good.
This years figures are good proof that
we're not making that mistake.

We come close to paying half the war
bill as we go along. That's considered
safe enough. At that. Secretary Nor
genthau wanted more-sl0.5 billions
more. He returned from Africa to re-
port that the soldiers were worried lest
they have to fight the war and then
return home to pay for it,
Morgenthau is cabinet member in
so-called liberal government. His
congressional opposition is labeled "con-
servative.' It's certainly conservative"
to ask for high taxes, but Congress
voted them down, and brought out tax
raise of only $2,3l5 millions.

The British and American armies
somehow have been made ludicrous to
the Germans in general The Germans
have been taught that the British and
Americans have never even won a battle.

what we in Germany were told 40 years
ago, and what our fathers were taught

before us. 1t is much easier for the Ger
mans to acknowledge the Russian Army
as formidable rival.
Another reason for the German dislike
OF the Anglo-Saxons is the exaggerated
belief in their will to destroy German
competition in the world market.
The whole German nation will be
thoroughly filled with hatred when the
victorious Allies enter their country.

the Federal tax was only 1925 a

The increases on wine items will
be smaller because the Federal tax
is being increased only slightly.

Virginia Counties 10 Study
New School Fund Use
sRy the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Mar. 23.-Govern-
ing bodies of Virginia counties,
meeting next month to adopt their
budgets, will be faced with the uues-
ton OF additional aid to public
schools OF the State from monies
provided the localities by the recent
session OF the General Assembly.
Counties, cities and towns were
allowed a larger share of the States
liquor monopoly profits when the
Assembly reduced the initial amount
reserved for the State from $780,
600 to $750,000, and also through the
action which enabled localities to
share in the revenues from the new
wine tax.
Proceeds from the wine tax will
be distributed to the governing
bodies of localities responsible for
financing the schools. This pro-
vlso, while not earmarking the funds
for the schools, was adopted by the
Assembly as an indication that the
money should be supplied to support
public education.
State education officials are in
terested in what action may be
taken by the Boards of Supervisors
when they meet in April. Reports
OF the school aid voted by these
governing bodies are furnished the
State Department of Public Educa-
ton.
