New German CopitoI

Dispatches from London suggest
that 1t will be part of the Allied
control plan for conquered Germany
to establish a new administrative
center for the Reich. without re-
gard to whether Or not the empire
created by Bismarck in 1871 is cut
to pieces. Berlin may be ignored by
the officers of the new provisional
military government to be set up by
the Americans, the British and the
Russians. There are many reasons
why the capital of the Kaisers and
Hitler should be rejected in this
manner. It probably never was truly
Germanic in character. The atmos-
phere OF it was Prussian from the
start. Its associations are arrogant
and autocratic. But even If there
were no psychological factor in
volved, Berlin today is a city thor
oughly wrecked and ruined by aerial
bombardment-a citv much more

Planning for Germany

BY revealing that he has called
upon the Foreign Economic Admin
istration to expedite its studies of
what should be done, economically
to control Germany's power and
capacity to make war in the future -
President Roosevelt appears def
nitely to have served notice that he
has turned down the Carthaginian
peace plan advocated, according to
authoritative report, by Secretary
Morgenthau against the vigorous
opposition of Secretary Hull and
Secretary Stimson.
This clears the air OF much OF the
misgiving caused by stories OF a
serious cabinet split over the plan
stories which the President describes
somewhat graphically as being essen
TALLY untrue in basic facts. What
ever the degree of their accuracy or
inaccuracy, however, it is reassuring
to be told that they do not cover the
situation as of today. The extreme
program attributed to Mr.. Morgen-
thau apparently is no longer in the
ascendancy, and Judging from Mr..
Roosevelt's remarks, the administra-
ton is seeking-in an orderly and
well-directed manner, under the
general supervision of the State
Department-to formulate a much
sounder American approach to the
German problem.
In his instructions to the F'EA the
President has specifically directed it
to follow the guidance of the State
Department, which presumably will
be responsible for defining political
policy, while the War Department
works out the military arrangements.
Once an overall program-eco-
nomic, political and military-is
drafted, agreement will then have
to be sought with Britain and Russia.
The problem is extremely complex,
calling not merely for an American
plan but for British plan and a
Russian plan as well. and for the
synthesis or integration of all three
into a single Allied plan.
The talks just concluded with
Russia at Dumbarton Oaks-where
"a large measure Of agreement was
reached"-undoubtadly had much to
do not only with proposals for
general security organization but
also with both the Short-term and
long-term aspects of the German
problem. At later inter-Allied meet
ings the subject will be further de-
fined. Meanwhile, as indicated by
the President, the administration
may be expected TO work out Amer
lean proposals considerably more
realistic and substantial than the
one Mr.. Morgenthau is said to have
advocated.

This Changing World
By Consfanfine Brown

The State Departments drafters of
postwar plans are frequently puzzled
by the trends" and pressure being
brought on them in their difacult work.
These men. frequently highly skilled
technicians in international matters,
are preparing data and suggestions for
their chiefs who are doing the actual
planning after taking into considera-
ton the views of our Allies.
The diff1culty they encounter arises
from the many groups which are writ
ing or sending their representatives
to the State Department to warn our
chief policy makers not to ALLEVIATE the
peoples of Europe by adopting what
they frequently term a selfish Amer
ican policy
Some OF these groups solemnly warn
against America having q postwar plan
OF It's own which may run contrary to
the desires and wishes of our Russian
allies; others warn with equal emphasis
that anything which may 60 against
the interests Of Great Britain will be
damaging to the world after the war
and consequently everything should be
done in keeping with the desires ex-
pressed from London.
Finally, the representatives of the
smaller nations in Eastern and South
ern Europe are busy warning the post
war planners that unless the rights
OF these nations are fully safeguarded
there can be no hope for a durable
peace across the Atlantic All the
groups have strong and powerful argu-
ments to back their theme. The don
offend Russia" spokesmen point out
that the U. S. S. R. has won the war
in Europe for us and If the United
States were to 60 against Russia s
wishes regarding her boundaries and
zones OF influence in the west we NAV
lose the friendship and cooperation of
the strongest power in Europe.
There can be no stable peace, they
say, without the Russian Empire fully
on our side and We must placate Mos
cows desires regardless Of how far
reaching they may be.
The British minded spokesmen
point out that Americas own safety
depends on how strong the British EN-
pire emerges from this war and are
urging our policy trainers to throw their
weight on the side of the British to
prevent the complete domination of
Europe by one power
Finally, the advocates Of the border
states" maintain that the sacrifice of
any Of these nations to the great
powers will bring. within a short time

in q purely practical fashion, of
course; yet there are considerations
OF tradition which might be taken
into account. Aachen. or Aix-la-
Chapelle. as the French call it, was
the capital Of Charlemagne, "the
first entire master" of Germany as
well as the ruler Of all France and
most OF Northern Italy between TIA
and 814. Thirty-two of his success
sors allegedly were crowned in the
famous octagon church there. Under
the terms of the Golden Bull of
Charles Nv, Aachen was designated
the coronation place for all emperors
illimitably. But Frankfort, by the
same announcement, was forever to
be the scene of legal imperial elec-
tions. The ford of the Franks" was
the seat OF many princes during the
Middle Ages. It regarded itself as
the capital Of the German Confed-
GRAFTON and strove to deserve the
distinction. Napoleon made it the
focal center of'a grand duchy, and
the Congress OF Vienna stipulated
that 1t should be the assembly point
of the reorganized German Diet.
Other and earlier Diet meetings
had been held at Worms, the former
capital Of Burgundry. It was there
that the concordat between Henry v
opI Do>o roEvf,c TT r,o G n rro ~ rol -,
1922 and also there that Charles v
convened his household" to hear"
Martin Luther in 1921. A rival town
OF almost equal consequence was
Mainz, about twenty miles west and
southwest, subsequently capital OF
Rhenish Hesse. In its prime it was
the cultural metropolis of a wide
area. The art Of printing began
within its walls. Many archbishops
of Mainz were imperial electors and
archchancellors, and their wealth
was tremendous.
It might be the choice of the
Allied administrators to select a city
OF relative obscurity in order to avoid
the inheritance of legendry. But in
Germany that would be difficult to
do. Augsburg in Bavaria was
founded by the first and the greatest
Of the Roman Emperors-and bears
his name-Augustus. 1t was there
that Charles v received the Augsburg
Confession. Bonn, Cologne, Nurem-
berg and hundred additional towns
have come down the ages through
many crises, accumulating history as
they grew. Even the Second World
War is merely an incident in the
annals OF struggle and bloodshed,
victory and defeat, which have been
the experience of the peoples OF
Central Europe since written records
first were kept.

clear indication of what has been
happening to and in the Farmer Labor
party was the announcement by Rep
resentative Harold c. Hagen, the sole
remaining Farmer-Laborite in the
House delegation in the present Con-
gress, that he would run this year as
a Republican. He has the Republican
nomination and it is predicted will be
elected. He followed in the footsteps
OF lot of other Farmer r-Laborites who
have gone over to the Republican party
among them Senator Shipstead, who
in 1910 changed his party affiliation and
was Reelected with a huge vote as a
Republican.
The upshot of the whole maneuyer to
form new party has not been happy.
The Farmer-Laborites in the fusion
regard themselves as all important.
They do not like the idea of the Demo-
cratic tail. as they put it, wagging the
fusion dog They have kept I'D their
Farmer-Labor association. a kind of
party within a party. 1t is something
like the Communist association. which
Earl Browder thought up when he de-
termlned to diSband the Communist
party the better to work for Mr..
Roosevelt.
Places on the State and congressional
tickets OF the Fusion party have been
parceled out to both Democrats and
Farmer-Laborites. Byron G. Allen. for
example, is the Democratic Farmer
Labor candidate for Governor. Orig
inally he was Republican in Iowa. but
went over to Al Smith and the Demo-
Gratis IN 1928 because of his strong feel
ing for the old McNary- Haugen farm
bill. with which Republican administra-
tions decline to have any truck. He has
been a Democrat ever since. He did not
come to Minnesota until about four
years ago. The fusion candidate for
Lieutenant Governor is Frank Murphy
also Democrat. Other places on the
ticket have been assigned to Farmer
Laborites

ceases, civil wars, rebellions and a gen.
eral state Of confusion which will make
m actual peace impossible.
Besides these groups, all Of which
have strong arguments to maintain
their thesis, there are numerous anna
teur suggestions from departments
which have nothing to do with actual
political postwar planning.
The confusion and the strong inter-
national repercussions caused by the
so-called Morgenthau plan is typical
OF what is going on.
Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau Is
rank amateur In international affairs.
He Is member of a small interdepart-
mental group which had received in
structions from President Roosevelt to
work out tentative postwar plan re-
garding Germany According to those
who profess to know what Mr.. Roose-
welt had In mind, Secretary of War
Stimson was to present a plan for the
military occupation Of the Reich; Sec
retary Of State Hull was to present a
political and economic plan concerning
the German form of government, and
Mr.. Morgenthau was to report on finan-
cial matters to prevent q complete chaos
in the Reich.
While the Secretaries Of State and
War were working on their limited as
slgnments, Mr.. Morgenthau, a much
younger and more active man, presented
complete military POLITICAL
plan which, because of his great influ-
ence with the White House, obtained
unusual publicity and. subsequently,,
wide repercussions in the Reich and
among our war associates.
