Germans Pin Hopes
On Roosevelt Defeat,
british Paper Says
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 18.-The London
News Chronicle declared in. an. adi-
torial today that the Germans "are
pinning their faith on the defeat of
Mr.. Roosevelt in the Forthcoming
presidential elections"
If they can only bold the invad-
ers and stave OF a decisive defeat
until Mr.. Roosevelt has been turned
out (which they seem to regard as a
certainty" the paper said, then
they calculate that his Republican
successor win be less Interested in
prosecuting the war in Europe and
SO will be ready to talk peace.
incidentally, Mr.. Roosevelt might
send Hitler a cable of gratitude for
giving him the best election boost of
the campaign" the News Chronicle
said, referring to this German
belief.
Bracken Replies on Censorship.
Meanwhile, Brendan Bracken
Minister of Information, told Com
mons today he did not believe that
American generals want to set
themselves up as censors of publi-
cations"
He gave this reply to an inquiry
whether he thought all publications
issued in this country to American
troops should first be approved by
the United States Army. Commons
was discussing the Welcome PAM
phlet distributed by the British
Ministry of Information to Ameri-
can troops on arrival In Britain.
One issue of this publication late
in January aroused sharp criticism
in the United States because it con-
tanned Washington-dated story
later identified as having been is
sued originally by the British United
Press-saying $50,000,000 had been
raised in the United States to defeat
President Roosevelt this year.
Conservative Arthur Evans asked
what steps were being taken to re-
pair damage which, he said, the in
cident had done to international re-
latlons. Mr.. Bracken explained the
first two pages of the four-page
welcome" folder are prepared by
the Minister of Information and
contain message from Prime Min
lister Churchill and geographical in
formation. The other two pages
are filled with news of the day COM
piled by editors near disembarka-
ton ports, who give their services
voluntarily and are completely free
from interference by the ministry
In the selection of news, Mr.. Brack-
en- continued.
Answers Hearst Press.
THE news item in Welcome
about the forthcoming American
election was described by the Hearst
press as Justification and an i'm
pudent interference in American
affairs and as propaganda designed
to promote the reelection o1
Franklin D. Roosevelt" Mr.. Bracker
said.
In rage, the Hearst press de.
clared that the news item was med
dlesome interference on the part Of
the British government in American
affairs.
who was responsible for this
wicked news item? Every word of
it was cabled from New York by
agencies controlled by the United
Press. I imagine they will be sur
prised by Hearst's statement that
their news can be falsifled by the
British government or that they are
promoting the reelection of Mr.

Bricker Wants u. 5.
To Retain Military
| Bases Won in War
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 18.--The
United States has no territorial am
bitions, says Gov. John w. Bricker
of Ohio, but strategic military in
stallationsfor which our boys have
paid with their blood and their
lives" should be retained where they
are essential to the Nations future
safety.
The Ohio candidate for the Re-
publican spresidential nomination,
nearing the end of a nine-day tour
of Western States, addressed 1000
listeners In the Shrine Auditorium
last night. under the auspices of the
California; Republican State Central
Committee.
Discussing Americas S defenses after
the war, Gov. Bricker declared that
the military installations to be re-
tanned by the United States should
Include defensiyely strategic Pacific
islands, airfields and radio stations.
Will Be Near by Plane.
1--WE would not think of relin-
quishing our control of them today,
and our security requires that we
retain the needed ones tomorrow"
he asserted.
This does not mean that we are
abandoning our traditional nonim-
perialistic policy. We have no ter
ritorial ambitions. These strategic
bases. far-f1ung though they may
appear by our customary measures
of distance, actually will be only
hours away in terms of future air
speeds. They will be our sentry
posts in a fast-moving world"
Sees Four Objectives.
Regarding domestic problems,
Gen. Bricker declared "the people
want no more part of the New Deal
philosophy of a mature economy
and the theory of scarcity of pro-
duction; that kind of system holds
out no promise except a dreary life
on a dole"
The Ohio Governor said he had
concluded that the American people
have four principal detectives: To
win the war just as soon as posi-
BILE, consistent with the best military
tactics and the least loss of life; to
insure a lasting peace, with a firm
national and foreign policy that will
guarantee security; postwar
America in which there are jobs
under the competitive enterprise
system, with freedom and oppor-
tunity for all, and speedy return
ito the Republican form OF Govern
ment."

Exceptions

The axiom, attributed to General
William Tecumseh Sherman, by
which it was set forth that "the only
good Indians were dead Indians"
was not true when it first was in
vented about seventy-flve years ago.
Joseph Brant, the Mohawk chief
who directed the Cherry Valley mas
sacre of 1778, may have been, as it
was charged, "a monster Of cruelty"
but the Dictionary of American BIZ
ography says: "He and his defend
ers claimed that he sought to pro-
tect women, children, prisoners and
wounded" The other Joseph, chief
Of the "non-treaty'' Nez Perces and
regarded as the greatest of the In
dian strategists," undeniably was
noted for his humaneness in war
fare" Even the Shawnee leader
whose name Sherman bore as his
own is conceded to have established
"a remarkable reputation for mercy
and humanity" as well as for dis
tinction as warrior"
But the legend persists, and the
average citizen Of the United States
today probably believes in his heart
that the aboriginal Americans were
savages in the full and exact mean
ing of that term. What, then, Is the

A Peucetime Army

When he advocates 8 postwar
military organization that will in
clude a small professional Army
supported by an adequate and we'll
trained citizen reserve, General
George c. Marshall unqueStionably
speaks for the great majority of the
American people
There is no place, either in the
traditions or in the political concepts
OF the United States, for a large
professional Army. Nor is there any
need, so far as we can see the ma
ture OF our postwar commitments
and obligations, for such an organ
ization. But it needs to be empha-
sized that the citizen reserve must
be a reserve in fact as we'll as in
name.
The creation of this reserve will
have to be predicated on the setting
up of a system of compulsory mill
tary training. The experience of
this war, and especially the expert
ence of the past few weeks in Eu-
rope, has demonstrated that there
is no substitute for training-hard
realistic, adequate training. The
sensational victories of our troops
in this war and the relatively light
casualties are due in large measure
to the fact that Americas soldiers
have been trained as they should
have been trained, not for a few
months, but upward of two years in
most cases, and under conditions as
closely Stimulating those of the bat
tlefleld as it was possible to devise.
II in the postwar period we are to
have a citizen reserve that would be
of real value in event of war, we
shall have to approximate in time
of peace the training course that has
been put into effect since Pearl
Harbor. The emphasis must be on
military training, not on vocational
training or social indoctrination.
AS General Marshall put 1t, Every
able-bodied young American shall
be trained to defend his country"
and shall remain a member of the
reserve components of the Army for
a reasonable period" after his
training is completed. In this way,
and only in this way, can we estab-
lish a peacetime Army compatible
with our traditions and adequate for
the defense of the country. Those
who may advocate that we do less
will be doing a disservice to their
country and, if they should be sue
eessful, to the men who will have to
fight for the country in event of
another war And it ought to be
perfectly plain that this is what
they will be doing.

Field Marshal Montgomery

Americans will share with their
British allies the general satisfac-
ton over appointment OF General
Sir Bernard L. Montgomery as
field marshal The rank is a special
mark of distinction, In recognition
of highly meritorious field service
or as a compliment conferred for
other outstanding services to the
Empire. General Montgomery would
qualify in any respect. He has be-
come, to Americans as well as to his
own people, one of the most colorful
as well as successful commanders.
Montgomery's name is perma-
nently identified with FL Alamein,
which seemed to mark a turning
point in the war, an end to that
beginning" which has continued
through an unbroken line of military
successes to the point where the end
itself is now in sight. Military
history will also remember him in
connection with one Of the greatest
Of all military achievements Of this
or any other war, the crushing de-
feat and destruction of the German
Seventh Army on the battlefields of
France. Like his compatriot, Field
Marshal Sir John q. Dill, his assign
ments have brought him into a
peculiarly close relationship with
Americans. They like him and take
pride in the new honors which have
come to him.

Surplus Real Estate

The Government War-acquired
real estate represents only a part
OF the huge problem of surplus
property disposal but it is important
and complicated enough in itself to
require special and well-directed
supervision. 1t is not something
that is likely to be handled soundly
If split up among different agencies
Independent of over all control.
Yet this is what the Senate's sur
plus disposal bill would tend to do,
providing as it does that the Interior
and Agriculture Departments dis
pose of such property, with the Gen
eral Land Office acting as a clearing
house and the Farm Security Ad-
ministration entering the picture
where family-sized farm units are
involved
The House version, on the other
hand, would authorize the kind of
setup already created by Will L.
Clayton, surplus property admin
1strator. This would dispose of the
real estate through the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, which in
turn would function with the
consultation and assistance of an
advisory committee representing
numerous Federal agencies, includ-
Ing the War Navy, Agriculture and
Interior Departments.
Mr.. Clayton's choice of the RFC
has met with some criticism and
fears have been expressed that it
may encourage spectators and
operate against the interests of
small farmers. Actually, however,
the RFC was chosen because, in Mr..
Clayton's judgment-based on the
closely divided recommendations of
a special committee of experts-it
seemed best suited for the job not
least Of all because it has field
Offices in 81 localities with staffs
equipped to dispose of several types
OF real estate. AS for guarding
against such dangers as land booms
or freezing out prospective buyers of
modest means, the basic policy laid
down for the RFC specifically pro-
vides for special efforts to sell in
family sized parcels, to assist in
financing and extending credit to
purchasers, and to avoid sales to
spectators or persons planning to
combine small tracts into large ones
tor speculative purposes.

Lone of Neigbbor in Everyday Life
By the Right Reu. Msgr. John M. Cooper,
Head Of the Department Of Anthropology,
Catholic Unipersitu of America

A stranger In Washington halls
you on the street and asks you the
way to the Pentagon Building. You
tell him. Telling him costs you no
effort, hardship, sacrifice or annoy
ance. You, in fact, may enjoy a
moments chat with him. Have you
shown love of neighbor? Yes, un-
doubtedly. Let us inquire why.
Love of our neighbor, as religion
means 1t, does not demand that we
feel the tender affection for him
which we may feel for beloved near
kin or old personal friends. Love of
neighbor at heart means good will
plus practical concern for q mans
rights and needs. We love our neigh
Dor through justice when We respect
his rights. and through charity when
We help to fulfill his needs.
In directing the stranger to the
Pentagon Building, you respected his
right not to be misdirected by delib-
crate falsehood. Further, you full
filled his need; in this case his need
for information on how to reach his
goal.
whatsoever you do, however simple
the deed be, to respect another's right
or to fulnn another's need is, as
religion understands 1t, An act of
neighborly love. Thus understood,
love OF neighbor is not something
carried out only occasionally, from
time to time; 1t is something carried
out continuously, hourly. every min
ute as 1t were.
Every truthful word you utter, in
no matter how routine an affair, is
respecting your neighbor's right to
truth. Every time you pay your
streetcar fare or settle for even a
trivial purchase, you respect your
neighbor's right to his property.
Whenever you drive carefully on a
busy thoroughfare, you respect your
neighbor's right to life and limb.
II you keep your radio toned down
or shut 1t of betimes out of consid-

Grafton for the people In the next
apartment, you help to fulfill your
neighbors need for rest and quiet.
In just passing the bread or salt ut
table, you help to feed the hun
gry," a. you do in cooking . meal or
washing the dishes. AL the thou
sand and one minor daily things We
call courtesy. consideration, thought
fulness, helpfulness or generosity are,
in the most literal sense, love Of
neighbor.
Likewise under love Of neighbor
comes whatever you do in your daily
work, from home-making and child
rearing to farming, plying . trade
or following business or profess
sion, provided only that the voca-
ton be an honest one. For all honest
work respects some right or full
fills some need of others. Parents,
for instance, feed the hungry, clothe
the naked, give shelter. care for the
sick, and instruct and counsel, not
now and then, but daily, hourly,
year In and year out. Most Of the
neighborly love that is carried out
in this little world of ours Is car
ried out between kin in the daily
routine Of the home.
~
Sometimes loving ones neighbor
Is hard. Sometimes it entails a
measure of endurance or forbear-
ance, Of hardship or annoyance, Of
unseldshness or seH-sacriflce, even
OF heroism. But more often 1t does
not. Much or most Of it may be a
pleasure and Joy, nor is it one
whit less love Of neighbor for be-
ing 50.
Love OF neighbor, like religion. of
which it is part, is not something
tackled on to life. 1t is not some
thing that enters from time to time
into life. 1t Is life. Religion only
asks that the motive as well as the
deed be sanctified, that the CUP of
cold water that is given be given In
Gods name.

ference have made it evident that they
never intended that the council should
be the exclusive property of the big
powers.
However, there is one fundamental
problem involved in the establishment
Of the council which seems to have re-
ceived little attention on Capitol Hill
that Is that it should be, above all, a
small, compact workable group capable
OF taking fast and effective action when
aggression is threatened. In this era
of highly mobile power when a great
aerial striking force and a highly me-
chanized army can hit an enemy over
night without warning, there is no time
for long debate.
The council never can be effective If
it is made a large. unwieldly body, slow
in oonvening, hampered by parliament
tary rules allowing unrestricted debate
or composed of large majority of
small states which may have no direct
interest in the problems facing 1t.
Preventing aggression in these days
of tremendous armed forces is inevitably
big power" task. 1t is the United
States, Great Britain, Russia and China
that must furnish the forces to stem
aggression, and realism dictates that
the nations bearing the responsibility
for carrying out international policies
requiring the use Of force should have
major voice in determining them.
If the plan now under study at Dunn
barton Oaks is adopted, the assembly,
which will deal in the first instance with
economic and social problems and po-
litical disputes in which aggression is
not Immediately threatened, will be
composed Of all "peace-loving" states,
having equal vote and voice. The
small nations will have representation
on the council, too, but reason seems
to dictate that 1t not be 20 extensive as
to make the council unwieldly and in
ehectual.
The old League of Nations, by its
failure to meet the menace of fascism,
has given clear proof that the Hitlers
and Mussolinis Of this world cannot
b checked BY . mere debating society.
