Most people think war widows are
civilian women whose husbands
have gone off to the Armed Forces,
but they are sadly mistaken. We
have a couple of war widows COR
widowers) right here in the detach-
ment. A war widower is a soldier
whose wife have been living on or
near his station and has gone home
and left him to soldier alone for a
while. T/Sgt. Sykes and Sgt. Paint
er have been trying to eat their
hearts out since their better-halves
departed. 1t is rumored that Sgt
Sykes has sought the comfort of a
fellow Chicagoan to pour out his
troubles to. Not that I'm one to
talk, but that amt the way I heard
it. He may be coping a plea but
it amt for comfort.
As the boys would have it. the
personnel section has become "a r

been to the Adjutant Generals

Cpl. Bryant, who just returned
from along awaited furlough in the
Windy City, has not yet got that
Jody dust off his shoes. When asked
about conditions, he referred to his
ever-growing appetite. We had
missed him in the mess hall, too.
I thought we were drawing more
rations but it was only Bryant's alb
sence that made the food seem to
go further.

forever joking with his pal, T/Sgt.
Stout, who has assumed the respon-

him out of trouble. He playfully re-
fers to Sgt. Stout as "Pappy,"
though it often causes friction be-
tween himself and the Adjutant.

335th Station Hosp.
of the

During the. early part of the week
when I was getting the news to-
gether, it occurred to me to say b
little about one of the most impor-
tant men of the 3S5th. He happens
to be an. officer, but he is one of
the best. In talking about him 1
found out much about him that I
did not know and I am quite sure
no one else knew it either He is
Capt. Robert S. Wilkinson, NC,
who is executive officer, operations
and training officer, and chief of
surgical section. He is a graduate
of Dartmouth college and Harvard
University School of Medicine. He
began practicing general surgery in
New York City, was associate visit
ing surgeon at Harlem hospital,
New York City, and consultant in
surgery at Harlem Valley State hos
pital, Wingdale, New York. He is
married and has one son, Robert,
Jr., who is now a student at Mt.
Hermon School in Massachusetts,.
Capt. Williamson entered the
Army July 16. l943, and was as
signed to Station Hospital No. /,
later becoming one of the officers
of the 335th Station Hospital. His
work since coming to the 335th Sta
ton Hospital has been primarily
planning the training of the unit
which is not yet functioning as a
hospital. He enjoys his work very
much, feels that the training is
progressing along sound lines, and
that when called to fulfill its mis-
sion, the organization will be pre-
pared to function in a creditable
manner. He is very appreciative
of the assistance given him by 1t
Col HinkSon. the officers and
nurses at Station Hospital No. | in
training the unit as well as the hos
pital facilities made available to the
335th officers and technicians. He
states that in this he is joined by his
commanding officer. Major Wilbur
Strickland. His training ideal is
to present finished product to his
commanding officer for which apol-
ogieS will never have to be made. In
appreciation for what Capt. Wilkin-
son has done for the boys. they have
shown all respect towards him by
learning all they can and putting
it to practice.

asset to any community supporting

cts. But II you take away his earn
ing capacity your economic activity
is cut down by one unit. Multiply
that by so millions and it goes long
way to interfering with normal
trade.
There are, Of course, other con-
siderations, which still fall under the
head Of the practical. Maynard
Keynes, the British economist, had
good deal to say on that subject in a
book which he wrote on the negotia-
tons which produced the peace
treaty after World War I. Keynes
was thoroughly familiar with the de-
tails Of those negotiations because
he was secretary to Lloyd George
at the time. In his book, 1.-THE Eco
nomic Consequences Of the Peace"
(Harcourt, Brace, 1920-better get a
copy il you can find one in print,
Keynes describes the attitude in
which Clemenceau approached the
peace treaty in 1919.
He said that the French reasoning
as expressed by Clemenceau took
for granted that European wars are
to be taken as normal or at least
recurrent affairs. The Wilson ap-
proach was to make an effort to stop
the wars. Herein rose the conflict.
AS soon as we adopt the view that
Germany has to be crushed to pre-
vent her from fighting again, we
must adopt the characterization
genthau thesis of ''Carthaginian"
or destructive peace.

Germany Big Factor
In Consumer Market

Opposition to the idea of suddenly
stopping all manufa curing In Ger
many is based purely on economic
grounds by some observers, by 9TH
ers on political reasons. The latter
are not of record but those who dis
cuss the economic aspects of the pro-
gram are very vocal.
They say that economic pressure
would crack the program. That it
would be inconceivable to suddenly
subtract 40 or so million people who
would be left in Germany from the
world consumer market. And, Of
course, if Germany were allowed to
produce nothing but what she could
raise from the ground, she would
have nothing to sell and therefore
no money with which to buy the
products of other nations.
There is no altruism behind that
reasoning; it is based on the simple
principle of the greatest good for the
greatest number. Compared to the
Morgenthau plan the ancient tooth
for-a-tooth method of punishment Is
mild, it is argued. A man with one
toota missing is still material for
the dentist to work on, he can still
ear and work and therefore is nm

since 1870, the progress of Germany
had accomplished. BY loss of terri
tory and other measures her popu-
lation was to be curtailed; but chief
ly the economic system upon which
she depended for her new strength,
the vast fabric built upon iron, coal
and transport was to be destroyed"
So far Messrs. Clemenceau and Nor
genthau seem to see eye to eye. But
the secretary of the treasury is not
concerned particularly with trans
ferring Germany's economic power
to any other country. He certainly
doesn't want to transfer it to Amer
lea.
But Clemenceau felt (according to
Keynes) that eff France could seize,
even in part, what Germany was
compelled to drop, the inequality of
strength between the two rivals for
European hegemony might be REM
edied for many generations.
This is the policy" said Keynes,
''of an old man, whose most vivid
impressions and most lively imagi-
nation are of the past and not the
future. He sees the issue in terms
Of France and Germany, not of hui
mainly and of European civilization
struggling forward towards a new
order"
And so Keynes concluded that the
"Carthaginian peace is not PRAC-
TICALLY right or possible" and his
prediction began to come true al
most before the ink on the treaty he
was writing about, was dry.
do not know why Secretary Slim
son and Secretary Hull oppose the
Morgenthau plan. But it may be
that they feel criticism of the peace
makers of 1919 applies today:
1.-THE clock cannot be set back"
said Keynes, AID. 1920. "You cam
not restore Central Europe to 1870
without setting up such strains in the
European structure and letting loose
such human and spiritual forces, as,
pushing beyond frontiers and races,
will overwheln not only you and
your guarantees but the existing
order of society,""
Wilson knew what Clemenceau
was after but he thought that the
League of Nations would act to right
the wrongs of the peace. Clemen-
ceau got all he could, and the i'm
situations" he left behind when he
died as well as, for a time, the "or-
der of society" in France were, as
Keynes predicted, overwhelmed.
Perhaps Clemenceau wasn't Car
thaginian enough, in his peace. Those
who agree may well endorse the
Morgenthau plan.

BY the time these lines are read
a brisk public discussion will be go
ing on Il hope) on the plan suggest
ed by Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau to deindustrialize Ger
many. II the matter has SO far es-
capped you let me say briefly that
Mr.. Morgenthau and his supporters
believe that because Germany bru-
tally mistreated her neighbors and
other nations she should not only be
denied all relief and rehabilitation
aid but that she should have all her
industrial machinery destroyed or
given to other nations, her mines
seized or plugged up and the nation
made into state of small farms.

I quote the above well-known
verses not to imply that the Ques-
ton of Germany's punishment is be-
ing decided upon moral grounds but
because there are those who suggest
that both the ancient law Of retribu-
ton and the modern plan for Gar
thaginian peace" are considered as
unwise, not on altruistic but on pure
ly practical grounds.
To those of us who covered the
Quebec conference the news of at
least part of the mission Of Mr..
Morgenthau at the conference came
as a surprise. He was the only men,
Der of the cabinet to attend, and dis
cussed his plan for Germany with
Roosevelt and Churchill in the pres
ence Of Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden, who, it is said, looked upon it
with favor when Mr.. Morgenthau
presented it to him earlier In Lon
don. At Quebec we were told that
we might infer that the secretary Of
the treasury came to discuss eco
nomic matters in his capacity as a
member of the Presidents cabinet
committee.
We were not told that the other
two members Of the committee
who were not present-opposed the
Morgenthau plan; Secretary Stimson
emphatically, Secretary Hull, at
least negatively.
At the time we were surprised that
Secretary Hull did not come to Que
bee. We were more so when we
learned what the Morgenthau mis-
sion had been.

Garbage, Hog Law
Changes Opposed
In Prince GEORGES

A resolution urging the Prince
Georges County delegation to the
State Legislature to oppose any
change in the county garbage trans
portation and hog laws was adopted
by the county commissioners al
their meeting yesterday in Upper
Marlboro.
The action was taken in response
to request by County Sanitary
Officer Charles L. Wood. Present
laws prohibit the establishment oi
hog feeding pens less than 200(
feet from any road or house, other
than the owners home, and require
the hauling of garbage in vehicles
approved by the County Health De-
partment.
Declaring that plans are being
made to institute a rat-control pro-
gram in the county, Mr.. Wood ex-
planned that one of the principal
factors in the success of such a pro-
gram is the proper disposition of
garbage.
The commissioners also instructed
County Treasurer r. Ernest Smith
to issue all 1945 automobile tax bills
in duplicate for the convenience of
banks accepting payment.
Action was deferred on an appli-
cation by residents of the West Lam
ham special improvement district
for permission to purchase fire
equipment, including a fire engine,
pending approval of the County VOL
unteer Firemen's Association.

HE WILL spout speech on any occasion.
His oratory smacks strongly of the old-fash-

sometimes three day, in the Daniel Webster

Bible come giibly from him. He cusses loud
and long, often in his labor speeches.
He holds to the ways of his youth. He
wouldn't put on soup-and-fsh for anybody.
He likes nothing better than an old-time New
England boiled dinner. The smell Of fresh
baked bread is perfume to him. The Swanee
River" is his favorite song.
He gave me his credo:
II get the people to go along with me by
showing them am doing the right thing. and
by explaining why. Then tell them how we
can work together, what they can do to help.
Take the fight we made to keep our streets
tidy. When the people, even the poorest,
saw the effort made to get good garbage
trucks to clear the city, they gave me
a hand. Now, no matter where you go in
Bridgeport, you will find no slum dirt. And
that's just one example"
Then, just before he drove off in his old
battered car: 'fOnce the people see you're
trying to do right they'll want to help you.
