'BlaCkOut' on News
By Maj. George Fieidins Eliot

The official "blackout' on news of the
progress of the fighting in Holland
should under no circumstances be inter-
rreted as an attempt to cover up an
Allied disaster. Its purpose seems to be
u cover a period of what might be
called planning an adjustment of
Allied moves TO take care Of changing
tactical situation. That this tactical
situation is not as favorable as might
have been hoped for, is already clear
enough, but there is no reason to sup
pose that Gen. Eisenhower lacks the
resources to deal with it adequately.
The maximum success which could
have been expected when the Allied Air
hoven- -Nijmegen- -Arnhem area was to
seize the crossings of all the Dutch
water lines-the Mas, the Waal and
the Nieder Rhein-and thus prepare
and hold open a gateway by which the
British I'd Army could pour across these
water lines into the fiat plains of North
ern Germany, outf1anking the defend
ers of the Siegfried Line. This objec-
tive has, so far, been achieved only
in part.
The British I'd Army is firmly eStab-
lished in the Eindhoven area, where it
is widening its positions to the north
east, east and west. Two crossings of
the Mas. at Grave and Nook, are in
our hands, and the Mas has been
reached on a front of some 20 miles.
American air-borne troops are partici-
pating in these operations, and the
Americans hold Nijmegen, where they
have the highway bridge over the Waal,
the most formidable of the three water
barriers, intact.
The Germans have attacked the mar
row supply corridor from Eindhoven to
Nijmegen several times, both from the
east and from the west. The main
attack from the east was made Satur-
day by troops which had been ferried
across the Rhine and concentrated In
the forest called the Reichswald, about
8 miles southeast Of Nijmegen. This
attack was beaten of, and it appears
to have been the German main effort,
for since then Allied forces have been
gaining ground steadily east Of the road
and are reported to have crossed the
German frontier at two places and to be
penetrating into the Reichswald. This
looks very much like the pursuit of .
beaten enemy force
But north of Nijmegen the tactical
situation, Is last seen before the black
out oe news descended, II less favorable.

Allied Rule in the Reich

The pattern of Allied rule over
such parts of Germany as shall fall
under American and British occu-
patton is clearly indicated by the
first proclamations issued from su-
preme headquarters by authority of
General Eisenhower Although only
q few border districts are yet in
Allied hands, officers of the Allied
Military Government, better known
by its abbreviated title of AMG,
have followed closely behind the
combat troops and are already
functioning in the captured German
villages and towns.
The AMG orders published to the
German civilian population reflect
both military and political objec-
tives. The military clauses are
those which any occupying army
would normally proclaim. The
safety and health of the Allied
troops are insured by imposing the
death penalty for any German spy
ing, looting, sabotaging, stealing
Allied war materials or deliberately
misleading Allied forces. German
residents are likewise ordered to
surrender all firearms and wireless
transmitting equipment, while civil
ian travel Is permitted only at the
discretion of the Allied authorities.
A converging of strictly military
considerations with those of policy
may be seen in the clauses con-
cerned with the roofing out of every
form and manifestation of the Nazi
regime. All Nazi organizations, po-
litical as well as military, are de-
clared dissolved, and all German
laws giving the party special status
or discriminating against German
nationals on grounds of race, re-
ligion or political opinions are sum-
marily abrogated. One of the most
potentially important changes is
repeal of the law which prevents
the formation of any political groups
except the National Socialist party.
Another significant clause is the
closing, not merely of Nazi tribunals,
but also of the regular civil, criminal
and administrative courts. These

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

When I read of the proposal, eman-
ating from Quebec, to put Germany

ments, American, British and Soviet.
each high commissioner responsible only
to his own government, I tried to put
myself into the minds Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Churchill and Marshal Stain, and
follow the mental processes by which
acceptable 80 them.
On the surface the Soviet Union
comes out worst, from the viewpoint of
exercising power over a considerable
part of Germany. The Soviets are to
rule, for purposes Of occupation, only
that part Of Germany east Of the Elbe
River. This territory includes the cap
ital city of Berlin, together with Pots
dam, but reports say that there is to
be a Joint occupation and administra-
ton there
Eastern Germany-Mecklenbu Pom
mern, Brandenburg, Silesia-is relatively
poor territory. There is some Silesia n
industry, but the whole territory is
largely agricultural. and here, also, are
situated the large Junker estates. II is,
together with East Prussia, the tradi-
tional stronghold Of German Junkerdom
The territories to be occupied by the
United States and Britain, plus possibly
France, encompass the richest and most
populous parts Of Germany, containing
practically all the basic industries, the
bulk of German industrial workers and
the most important ports Of commerce.
If Stain is willing to confine Russian
administration and influence to the eco
nomically far less important east, what
Is in his mind?
These eastern territories are econom-
ically poor but politically very impor-
tant. They also have social problem
the problem Of land. The Junkers are,
and have been for full generation,
bankrupt except for subsidies from the
State. The peasants are iand hungry.
The Junkers have opposed-with a few
exceptions-any sort OF land reform for
which there has long been popular
demand, and which was done in various
ways in the last generation in Russia.
Czechoslovakia. and in Denmark and
Finland-all nearby territories.
Eastern Germany also adjoins both
Poland and Czechoslovakia which will
most likely be tied closely to the Soviet
Union. Poland certainly will be. if she
takes, as is proposed. large parts of
purely Germanic territory into her new
state. as compensation for territory re-
gained in the Ukraine by Russia In
Poland, also, a radical land reform is
certain to be promuiga ated

A FutuI Weakness

AS the three-power discussions at
Dumbarton Oaks draw to a close,
the unofficial reports indicate that
agreement has been reached on
many phases of the postwar security
problem. As one correspondent ex-
presses it, the British, the Russians
and the Americans are in 80 per
cent agreement as to the kind of
international security organization
they wish to establish after the war.
But the area of 10 per cent which
remains in disagreement is vitality
important.
The dispute is said to turn on the
question of identifying an aggressor
and invoking the use of force
against him. The problem of de-
Gliding when aggression begins and
who is responsible for it Is as deli
cate as it is difficult. But the Rus
slams apparently have been insisting
that the four major powers on the
proposed executive council must
vote unanimously for the use of
force before it could be invoked
against an aggressor. In other
words, this means that if the United
States, Britain, Russia or China
should be guilty of aggression at
some future date that country's
delegate on the council, by casting
a negative vote, could prevent the
other nations from invoking the use
of force against it.
This reservation, if included in
the final plan, would probably be a
fatal weakness. AS far as we can
see into the future, only one of the
major powers among the United
Nations will be capable of an aggres-
sion calculated to threaten the
peace of the world. And if the other
nations should agree in advance to
a plan which would enable such an
aggressor to veto concerted action
against him there could be no sub
stantial hope of maintaining the
peace.

Dr.. Bunker

The life of Dr.. Frank Forest
Bunker was helpfully spent. He had
three careers, each of them distin-
guished by high social and cultural
achievement. Born in Illinois, edu-
cated in California and New York,
widely travelled in the Orient, he was
successfully teacher, an editor and
a publiclSt. His labors as school
executive on the Pacific Coast led
to the development of the so-called
Berkeley system" of organization
an accepted model throughout the
Nation.
DR. Bunker came to Washington
to be chief of the city schools division
of the Federal Bureau of Education,
position in which he remained
from 1918 to 1921. He returned to
the Capital to be supervising director
of the publications of the Carnegie
Institution from 1925 to 1899. The
brilliance Of his mind was demon
strated in number of books on
China. Japan, the Philippines,
Hawaii, the junior high school move
ment and other themes written dur
ing the period indicated by the two
last mentioned dates.
But knowledge for its own sake
never was quite enough for DR..
Bunker. He was a man of profound
religious and philosophic ideals.
When half decade ago he became
the executive officer of the Christian
Science Committee on Publications
for the District of Columbia, he
made choice which represented his
dearest convictions. The last work
in which he engaged he truly be-
lieved to be his best.
Individuals of DR.. Bunker's char
acter do not want eulogies. When
they depart. they wish little said.

Nazi influences.
All this adds up to a virtual demo-
lition of the entire governmental
structure erected by Naziism during
it's 11-year tenure of power. The
idea is that Naziism has so pene-
trated the texture Of German ma
tional life that the fabric must be
unraveled before it can be rewoven
on lines which may permit of re-
construction on what the western
world considers normal lines.

The Morqenthuu Plan

German reaction to the peace plan
which Secretary Morgenthau is said
to advocate, a plan under which
Germany would be stripped of her
industries and reduced to a nation
Of small farmers, has been one of
strident protest. This was to be
expected, and in all probability the
Nazi propagandists would react in
similar fashion to any proposal that
Germany should be denied the
means of again unloosing upon the
world the horrors of total war.
This German reaction, however is
relatively unimportant The pros
pect of a Carthaginian peace might
stiffen the Germans to fight on, but
the strong probability is that the
war will not end in any event until
the Allies can bring to bear sufficient
power to force a military decision.
The German people, If they can be
distinguished from the Nazis, are not
free agents. If they were, an end to
the war and a small farm might
appeal at the moment to millions
of them. But they are firmly in the
grip of the GeStapo; difference In
degree in the severity of the peace
terms can have but little influence
on the duration of the war SO far as
they are concerned.
What is important is the relation
OF postwar Germany to the future of
Europe. The Germans, when not
Waging war. have made notable con-
tributions to the advance of the
human race Their scientists, their
factories their heavy industry and
their mines have been essential cogs
in the economy of Europe for gen.
erations past. If all of this is to be
destroyed, if 7O,O0OOOO Germans are
to be reduced by force of arms to the
status of small farmers, who is to
take their place IN the Europe that
will have to be rebuilt and restored
after the war? From what other
source are the products of German
industry and the raw materials of
Germany to come? Who will stand
ready, and how will they manage, to
suppress rebirth of German ma
tionalism and to hold these people in
economic bondage?
The objective of the Morgenthau
plan, assuming the reports that he
has such plan to be correct, is to
insure that Germany will not again
be able to wage war. But the at
talnment Of this objective does not
require the drastic measures which
his plan contemplates. There is no
reason why Germany cannot be kept
militarily impotent and still be per-
mitted to develop her resources and
retain much of her industry. The
real need is for a degree of supervi-
sion which will make it impossible
for the Germans to divert these
activities into the channels of war
and preparation for war. This will
be troublesome, to be sure, and the
victors may weary of their task. But
if they will not be willing in the
years to come to keep watch over the
industrial activities of what should
be a relatively contented German
people, there is small chance indeed
that theV would be willing to assume
the vastly greater responsibilities
inherent in peace under which the
progress of century would be wiped
out for whole nation of embittered
people. If there is to be any hope of
lasting peace in Europe, the terms
imposed upon a beaten Germany
must be severe, but they must also
be just and rational
