Letters to The Star
Sees New Leaders for Germany
In Faithful Cler&y

70 the Editor Of The Star:
The Germans are faced with the
greatest military and spiritual disaster
In their history.
In my opinion the statement generally
made that there are no leaders left in
q defeated Germany to lay the founda-
tion for new government and q new
constitution is incorrect.
1t is Of vital Importance for the Allies
to deal with leaders of new Germany
who are not compromised by having col
laborated with the Nazis and still would
have authority in postwar Germany.
There are such leaders, backed by
tradition and authority.
The leaders have in mind can be
found in the two great religious organ
tzations in Germany, the Catholic and
the Lutheran churches.
German government led by these
religious leaders could command the re-
spect Of both the Germans and the
Allies.
think Of such men as Cardinal Faul-
haber and Pastor Niemoeller. Cardinal
Faulhaber, while prominent member
OF the Catholic church. is also Ger
man National. He made a great name
for himself and added to the dignity
OF the Catholic church by refusing to
condone the Nazi teachings.
Pastor Niemoeller, the former subma-
rine commander, preferred a concentra-
ton camp rather than betray his faith.
Such men would be representative o.
the best that still may be found in Ger
many. They would be symbolic of a
Germany which has turned away from
the Nazis and offer the best guarantee
for spiritual revival of Germany. They
could be expected to direct the INTEL
lectual and spiritual energies Of Ger
many into more creative and pacific
channels.
No other men could be better In
trusted with the task Of re-educatinp
the German youth.

insist that they must keep their sov.
ereignty intact, as In the case Of Poland.
And there are the major Allies who be-
lieve In dividing the world into three
large spheres Of influence with each
taking over the patronage Of the smaller
units. There are deep Emergencies Of
opinion regarding the procedure to be
adopted toward the smaller Allies There
Is the remaining highly important 10
per cent of the Dumbarton Oaks agree
ment which has not been settled be-
cause Of Russia's refusal to accept the
American-Britisht thesis that IL one OF
the Big Four became involved In an
aggression the nation thus described
should refrain from voting on the
pending issue. There is the question Of
how deep the Atlantic Charter has been
buried and whether after the hostilities
are over any parts Of it can be salvaged
and incorporated in peace agreements
There are many other such questions
on which hinge our hopes for lasting
peace. The international political prob
lens which will arise after all organized
resistance In Germany is ended exceed
by far the dimcult problems which are
confronting the American strategists in
Washington and the various theaters of
operations.
4 4
So long as the fighting continues these
matters are relegated to second place.
The thorny questions which the repre-
sentatives of the minor United Nations
such as the Poles or the Yugoslavs en-
deavor to bring to the attention of the
State Department are being answered
with encouraging replies They are told
that everything will be taken care of to
the satisfaction of everybody, but that
there must be no agitation which might
jeopardize our chances of winning the
war. The defeat of the enemy, Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hull have been telling
these various foreign emissaries, must
take precedence over everything else.
But when the organized German re-
sistance has collapsed, these bowling
babies will land in the lap of the new
Secretary of State and will be much
more noisy than heretofore.

This and That

Pumpkin pie has been a war casualty
but how about Gingerbread
Real gingerbread. made with black.
strap molasses and honest ginger, com.
ing from the oven with a heavenly
smell.
You can still get the ingredients.
and we know of no better way to bring
back memories Of grandmas wonder

In recent years, gingerbread has been
In eclipse. what with new tangled WAYS
OF doing things and the war and all. and
gasoline rationing and the like.
Some may want to know why 1t is
called bread, rather than cake It is
because 1t isn't as fine as cake. and
not as sweet. In other words, 1t is
really sort of fancy bread, with ginger
in it.
Some ladies, we are informed by
good authority, put cinnamon and other
spices along with the ginger. Perhaps
IN the old days no two persons made
1t from exactly the same recipe.
Soft gingerbread is the sort normally
made. Hard gingerbread is the same.
except that the eggs are omitted and
enough flour is used to roll it out like
biscuit dough half an inch thick.
BY gingerbread this column means
Just plain old-fashioned gingerbread.
None of your fancy cakes, etc.
The KIND mother and grandmother
made, preferably served warm, cut in
squares or rectangles.
Our personal preference Is for cold
milk to go with it.
Some gingerbreads are made with
sweet milk, some with sour milk and
some with water.
.Old-fashioned cooks used to use
great deal Of sour milk, according to our
best authority. This probably was be-
cause they had no real way of keeping
milk, and so had plenty of sour on their
hands.
There is nothing else in the world
quite like the crust of gingerbread.
Small boys and small girls who for
ages have disputed as to who would
get the crust of homemade bread know
from experience that there is one crust
which is excelling.
just why gingerbread has this delici-
Gus supercrust is unknown to science.
There is something about both texture
and taste of the top of gingerbread
which sets it apart
That is why any icing is a sort of
desecration. II there is one goody in all
the world which needs no gliding it is
honest gingerbread

The best way to eat it is to begin at
the bottom and eat through to the
top.
This leaves the crust for the last, a
system which Il thoroughly satisfactory
to both the. small boy and the ginger
bread expert. We do not believe them
synonymous. The small boy is too
hungry to be connoisseur. He Just
wants something to eat after school,
and common crackers with peanut but
ter on them will do just as well as
gingerbread. Or will they?
II possible, the darkest types of mo-
lasses should be used. There is one sort.
called "blackstrap," which is vastly
darker than ordinary molasses, and
contains more iron. Such molasses has
many vitamins and minerals in it, along
with surprising taste when baked
In gingerbread.
An old superstition is that you cannot
make good gingerbread on rainy day.
Science probably could explain that
one.
Today, real gingerbread is q rarity,
but In the old days 1t was something
which the ladies whipped up" for every

Disasrees About Conscription

DiS0&I CCS <ADOul AOnSCTlpt1On
10 the Editor OF The Star:
Your editorial Of November 20 on
"Compulsory Training" skirts one or two
rather interesting contradictions. First,
you indicate that the forced military
training Of our young men In peacetime
Is essential to national security Later
you cite the example Of French boys
who served year in the army" without
developing the aggressive nationalism
Of their German neighbors. This refer
ence to the French seems a particularly
inept point to cite as proof that our
democratic existence can be secured by
an undemocratic institution like a
peacetime conscript army. In 1898
France was the first modern European
nation to adopt military conscription
law, and the helplessness of France in
1910 is also history now.
Second, you state that under a
liberal minded chief of staff such as
Gen. George C. Marshall it is quite pos
sible to build up system of universal
military training under which American
boys could learn the highly complex
techniques Of modern warfare, and also
be taught that war is always possi-
bility in this imperfect world and that
a strong and self-respecting nation
should be prepared for it." The refer
ence to Chief of Staff Marshall Is a
curious one. for have been under the
impression that Gen. Marshall has gone
on record in favor of a small, highly
trained army of professionals, not q
drafted mass army.
These mild discrepancies are not
as disturbing as the whole editorials
defeatist tone. Does victory bring only
the assurance that we must prepare for
bigger wars? Another editorial, "Up to
the People," on the same page suggests
something quite different: That our
hope is in committing ourselves in
peacetime to international cooperation,
in developing strong continuing bonds
of friendship with Russia and Great
Britain.
Strong friendship is not founded in
force. But if our youth must be strong,
why not spend more money on public
health services, public nurseries, public
athletic fields? JOHN EISENHARD.

Some War Wives

The young war wife who took her.

planasion for her choice. Her rea-
sons my explain why SO many
young wives are living with in-laws

ITO Begin with, I knew my fam
lily would be too sympathetic. They'd
feel so sorry for me, I'd soon start
feeling sorry for myself she says.
Also I knew how easy it would
be to slip back into the role OF pro-
tected daughter though I'm
now wife and mother and ought
to be making my own decisions and
shouldering my own responsibilities.
Il have very close bond with
my in-laws. They look for the

my parents, I'm afraid I'd give
way to my fears and loneliness,

through the BID times.
PLEASES HUSBAND
Then there is the comforting
knowledge that my being with his
people means lot to Dick. Several
times he has written such things
as 1T means so much to me to have

Some or all of these reasons have
probably influenced many of tne
girls who have chosen to live with
their husbands people for the
duration.
