Unconditional Surrender
these Days b SSe @Eo 2'' E soKolsx>

II appears that criticism grows
in England and Russia over the
term. unconditional surrender,
which obviously was a costly rhe-
torical. IL not a. political, error be-
cause no nation %surrenders uncon-
ditionally as long as there is a
breath OF fight in its people. II
they surrender at all, II is condi-
tionally as with the Italians and
as the Russians are arranging with
the Films. Poles and R~omanians.
The phrase. unconditional sur
render" may have prolonged the
war. its realistic rejection by Sta
lin has added rs his influence and
even power in European affairs.
The Observer. OF London. a
newspaper close to the British gov
eminent. on April 2, published IA
voluminous and scholarly article
on this subject which points to the
fact:
The term unconditional sur
render dates from the American
Civil War General Grant first in
troduced it,. and there it had a
definite political meaning and func-
ton, which II has not in the differ
ent conditions of the present war"
Europe is. however. different. Its
thousands years history of politics
and wars has produced a pattern OF
history which changes slightly IN
spite OF the urgent necessity for
change. The Observer says OF
this.
The many wars OF European
history have never been ended by
unconditional surrender - except
when a sovereignty has been de-
stroyed and a state anneXed-be-
cause a unifyiug continental auth
GRITTY, 10 which unconditional sur
render could be made. has been and
is lacking. European wars and
European peace settlements have
taken place between separate SOW
ereign states. No European ma,
ton. or coalition OF nations, is ii
a position effectively TO accept the
unconditional surrender of another
nation. that is, to manage and gov
ern it-unless. in fact, II is pre-
pared to annex it. Unconditional
surrender would In practice newt
ably. make the governance OF the
vanquished nation a direct liabili-
ty Of the victorious nation or ma
tons. It would also free the van
pushed nation from all responsible
lity for. or treaty obligation to. the
peace imposed. and amount to an
explicit invitation to non-coopera-
ton, passive resistance, and finally
reputation"
The article then goes on TO show
that the Russians have always dis
tinguished between Germany and
"Hitlerite Germany. which is. o.
course. a different view from those
Americans who favor either a de
struction" or a 'partitioning'' OF
Germany. THE German people
and the German state, in Stains
words. remain while the Hitlers
come and CO." And so, even in
most recent statements. 1t is Hit

Argus followed Grange through

asked.

Inside the studio q number of
bright lights, similar TO the Kleips
used in Hollywood, were clustered
together in n corner of the room.
They threw a light Of devastating
brilliance on a raised platform that
resembled a stage set. A beautiful
blonde, with long wavy hair that
hung down TO her shoulders. YEAR

seated on a red and white striped
dais. She was about nineteen and
her skin, under the lights, had a

OF pulling up a sheer, silk stocking.

lerite Germany that must be made
to disappear. but obviously Ger
many cannot disappear-there is
too much OF it.
The Observer lays this down as
British policy:
THE conditions on which the
Germans shall live after their
armies have been beaten, and
Europe freed, must be determined
with the long-term interests OF air
European nations in mind. We and
they have a vital interest in a cnas-
dended and non-aggressiye Ger
many. It is doubtful whether we
have an interest in a Inundated, EN-.
Filtered and vengeful Germany. It
is absolutely certain that we have
no interest in imposing condition on
Germany which We will have to
enforce by armies OF occupation
and subsection during long de-
cades after this war. Occupation
there must be. but not for ever.
Annexation is not our aim" (Note:
This is obviously a European, mo- a
United Nations view. America Is
left out.)
Now that is very different from
unconditional surrender and II y
important for Americans to know,
on the eve OF the invasion, that so
influential an organ OF British
opinion says so in such downright
language. Too many Americans be
lieye that they a at this stage
blueprint the peace. TOO many
Americans believe that some kind
of a United States OF Euroje can
be organized and policed by us
with perhaps the cooperation OF
Great Britain and Soviet Russia.
Yet. II is notable that Europeans
are not proposing nor favoring such
plans. The Russians are even
tearing the Atlantic Charter into
shreds while Americans still speak
of II with some regard. The Euro
peans still speak OF Sovereignty in
nat~ionalistic and European langu-
age while we are being led into
miasmas OF decentralization which
other nations scurry to reject. Are
American troops to be used to
force upon unwilling peoples a po-
litical system which is already dis
approved?

A mysterious assassin cut short

artists model, just as she was an

house apartment to which she had
returned soon afer midnight fol-
lowing a quarrel with Pierre Stur-

could find no gun, significant finger

truder. The evening of the murder,
she had met an old friend, Argus
Steele, author and former detec-
tive, in the Penguin Club where he
was dining with Ellen Curtis, a
model. Syria left, accompanied by
Sturgis. Bill Carstairs, III, play
boy, introduced his latest blonde,
Dorry, to Ellen and Argus. Later,
Ellen found Dorry in the ladies'
room, weeping because her Bill

nosed revolver in Dorry's open

phoned Argus to tell him that Syria

Ellen introduced Argus to Roger
Flagg in the latter's model agency.
Flagg invited Argus to examine his

records of the model agency. They

seem inclined to look at this nation
as rich and powerful. and they wish
to be free with its power as well as

They are perfectly sincere. Their

The whole thing, therefore, seems

This can only be justified as charity,
not economics.
The handling Of the situation de-
mands wisdom, and restraint, on the
world bank. The first questions that
must arise from any common-sense
standpoint is whether II Is needed,
whether existing exchange facilities
(already managed completely by

Second question Is the mainte-
nance OF the American dollar value.
