Would Slice Germany Up

tnOuSlL1ul
ever since this war was started that the chic
hope of eventual and lasting peace in Europe
lies in the dissolution Of the German Empire
The idea is that if Germany were sliced ur
into separate states none could become pow
erf1l enough to throw the world into another
conflict.
This opinion has found forceful expression
in Sumner Weles' new book, ''The Time for
Decision He would have Germany divided
into three subdivisions, each independent o.
the others.
He declares the German general staff is
already plotting third attempt to dominate
the world 'The German general staff he
writes. SIS well aware of Germany's inevi
table defeat and mas made detailed plans
for later renewal of its attempt to domi
nate the world
Here we quote summary of his views from
an Associated Press dispatch which did not
reach this office:
He says the general staff's aim is to
gain control of countries by economic pen
etration He declares that it will require
of capital investments and other indirect
means of economic control
At the same time, he says other meas
ures are of utmost Importance. He ranks
first the breakup of Germany into three
states.
The first would be composed of Bavaria,
Wurtemberg, Baden, Hess-Darmstedt, the
Rhineland and the Saar. The populations OF
these areas are predomnantly Catholic.
The second would consist of Upper Hess,
Thuringia Westphalia, Hanover Oldenburg
and Hamburg.
The third state, predominantly Protestant
in population. would consist OF Prussia,
Mecklenburg, Saxony and various small
political sub-divions. East Prussia would
be given to Poland, with population shifts
to avoid minority problems.
raphical and political breakup OF
the German nation, Welles says, would
have to be accompanied by measures to
destroy German military power.
mo world peace organization, however
effective will be able to combat the danger
which will exist if after the war cen
tralized Germany continues to be subject
to German niltarism," he contends.
Mr. Welles recommends the creation of a
peace agency before the war ends. 1t would
be a United Nations executive council. He
suggests it have II members, including Bri
tain, Russia, China, and the United States, as
well as members to represent the small Euro
pean states, the other American states, the
Far Eastern and Middle Eastern states, and
the British dominions.
His proposed organization would have rules
giving the four major powers needed scope
for military action and yet protecting the inter
ests of smaller nations It would avoid the
weaknesses of the old league, in his opinion.

dice against labor unions not by seeking out
them, but by treating the one-quarter Of one
per cent of time lost through wildcat strikes
as if these microscopic work stoppages rep
resented general sabotage of the war effort
Generalized attacks on labor are wrong
but then so are generalized attacks against
industry, to say nothing of attacking the press
as a prejudiced class. Labor is now getting
dose of the same bitter medicine that it
helped dish out.

TODAY and TOMORROW
BY WALTER LIPPMANN
Coming Events

Platform makers, campaign
managers, and ordinary newspaper
writer's are all in the same boat:
when they set out to define the
issues they have to adopt pre-
Giction or guess about what is 60
ing to happen. But now that the
Allies have the initiative and the
Power to support it, what happens
is in very large measure the out
come of plans decided upon any
where from three to twelve months
previously. The battles now being
fought in Europe and the Pacific
were organized last year in the
conferences at Casablance, Quebec,
Moscow and Teaeran.
Behind the events that are now
the news of the day, decisions are,
CT course, being shaped which will
&C termine much of the news of
the next few months. The details
VIII remain a military secret. But
the larger outlines are not alto
gether unknowable, and by at
tending to them the political de-
bate can become more real and
less verbal
Thus it is rea sonably certain that
the next great phase of the war
that has to be planned and organ
lied now, though it may not be
executed for some months, is the
regrouping of the Allied forces
against Japan. This is compli-
Gated problem. 1t calls for deci-
sions as to what part of our sea,
air, and land forces now fighting
Germany will be needed and can
be used in the Pacific. 1t calls for
the same kind of decisions in re-
gard to the British forces. 1t calls
Tor momentous actions in the in
terror of China with a view to
rallying and redirecting the di-
vided Chinese forces. And it poses
the immense question of the role
of the Soviet Union il the Far
Eastern war and the Far Eastern
peace.
The duration and cost of the
japanese war hang upon the Sue
cessful solution of these more or
loss hidden, through obvious, prob
lens.
There hangs up it also the
time and the manner of our de-
mobilization and our reconversion.
The planning of these operations is
directly dependent upon the mill
tary timetable of the European
war, of the turnover to concentra-
ton on the japanese war, and on
how far the final phase of the Jap
anese war can be made a really
combined operation by the Chi
reese, the Russians, and the British,
and the Americans.
This war is not likely to end all
at once as did the other world war.
1t will end in two phases, of which
the second and final phase against
Japan cannot be fully planned
Until the German phase is con-
cluded. The discussion of de-
mobilization and reconversion will
be in the m n irrelevant unless
it is related to this controlling fact.
The discussion of peace machia-
cry will be in high degree con-
trolled by coming events. For ex-
ample: conversations are now
about to take place in Washington
oil the draft of an international
organization along the lines envis-
aged by the Fulbright ad Con-
nally resolutions, the Moscow
agreements, and the two party
platforms. But we may be certain
that we shall actually be enforcing
peace long before this organiza-
ton is legally established. For the
eeteat of Germany, which is now
certain and not too distant, will

TAGGING RECEIPTS
GREATLY INCREASE

Receipt from motorists whose cars
are tagged for parking violations
took a big jump during the Easter
season, the report Of city court rev.
enues revealed this morning.
During the first 10 days of April
$500 was collected from parking VIZ
olators, not including those who were
delinquent in payment and later
were assessed IS on warrants. This
compares with 1919 collected dur
ing a similar period last month.
Ninety-three dollars was collected
this morning from weekend parking
violators. -
Police officials explained that the
increase was due to the increased
shopping and church crowds in the
busy downtown area, with a conse-
quent increase in parking in re-
stricted areas, overtime parking, and
all night parking.
