Mental hygiene instruction for

means Of reducing juvenile delin-
|quency yesterday by DR.. Joseph A.
Murphy, director of school medical
inspection attached to the District
Health Department.
DR.. Murphy told a symposium on
mental hygiene, sponsored by the
District League of Nursing Educa-
ton, that juvenile delinquency was
a symptom of emotional maladjust-
ment Punishment doesn't meet
the situation, he said, because the
delinquent usually is a victim OF
circumstances.

He proposed that mental hygiene
courses be included in the school
system to help prepare the parent

A warning that present-day cul-
ture tends to value material security
above children was sounded by DR..
Dorothy Donley, psychiatrist of the
child center at Catholic University.
DR.. Lillian Malone of Gallinger
Municipal Hospital, told the SYM
postum that the proportion of alco-
holics admitted to the psychiatric
ward at Gallinger in 1943 was the
lowest in eight years, having dropped
from 43.2 per cent in 1941 to 1873

the people do not know the restrictions
imposed. Though there are still Ger.

With the exception Of Hungary, all
Germany's satellites are now out of the
war. But concerning the conditions
under which they have left the Axis
camp, we know only about Romania.
With the Romanian example In mind,
we may expect to be speedily informed
regarding the conditions imposed on
Bulgaria as well as Finland. For the
chief Allied negotiator in these cases, as
in the case Of Romania, is the Soviet
Union. And the Soviet Unions diplo-
macy Is open. Three weeks after Ro-
mania ceased military operations against
the Soviet Union. an armistice was
signed and published.
1t is not only we who know the terms.

an indication that the Soviets wish a

For these eminently generous terms

destruction Of Naziism seems to thi,
writer by all odds the most important
in the political field.
II Will not be easily Accomplished
nor quickly, but it Is we'll that 1t is being
commenced at the very beginning, and
tnat we shall not have a set Of accom-
phsned facts arising here and there to
upset the course Of so far-reaching and
essential q policy. Perhaps the very
foundation Of that policy lies in the
early relationships of our troops to the
German populace. who may have al
ready received orders from Berlin to
commence that Campaign of pity" on
which some German leaders count so
pe66e." ''
When all the war criminals have been
dealt with, when all the visible evil
dences of Naziism have been DESTROYED,
when all the German armed forces have
surrendered and their arms been Sc
questered, there still remain the Ger
man people-and II in their hearts there
remains the determination to try again
for the domination Of the world, as soon
as a favorable opportunity arises, that
determination can be overcome only by
irrefutable evidence that there is no
chance OF such an attempt succeeding
OF all the Nazi legends, perhaps that
most dangerous to the peace Of the
world was the legend Of the "undefeated
German Army" of 1918, an army which
was not beaten in the field but only be-
trayed at home. No such legend, or its
counterpart, can be allowed to take root
again.
That Is why as the soldiers Of the
free nations enter into Germany they
should carry with them, in their bear
Ing, their conduct and their every &C.
tion, the conviction that the power they
represent-the power of an aroused peo-
ple-is greater power than any which
can ever be at the beck and call of any
autocrat. They must demonstrate once
and for all, to every German, that
there can be no next time, that the
ambitions Of the German war lords are
ambitions which can never be realized,
and that any attempt to revive them
can only result In even worse disaster
for the German people who allow them
selves to be made the instruments of
such ambitions
1t Is thus that we may begin to lay
the foundations of a just and lasting
peace; it is thus that we may hope that
the young men of another generation
Of Americans may not have to march
past the war memorials erected to the
memory of their fathers on European
soil, as those of this generation marched
past the war monument in Chateau
Ihierry the other day.

This Changing World
BY Constantine Brosyn

War material, which Is the past has
been sent in dribbles, is now being
rushed to the Southwest Pacific to
enable the forces Of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur to proceed toward the first goal
Of the all-out offensive against Japan,
the liberation of the Philippines.
Although the war in Europe still re-
quires large quantities of supplies and
large numbers of men, the joint chiefs
OF staff in Washington can now see
their way clear to divert substantial
aid to the Pacific Admiral Chester w.
Nimitzs forces always have had pri-
ority. They are overwhelmingly naval
and marine force which was not needed
In the battles across the Atlantic. Hence.
the bulk of production from the naval
ana private yards was earmarked for
the Pacidc from the beginning of
the war.
We mad only some old battleships and
cruisers IN the Atlantic and the Medi-
terranean. The more modern units
needed for those areas were supplied by
the British, whose share in the war in
the Far East until now has been nominal.
This must not be interpreted as a re-
nection on our Allies. The agreement
between the chiefs of stats of the two
forces provided that the British Navy
would not take 4 major role in the Far
East until the military problems In
Europe were over.
But the determination Of the Allied
strategists to finish the Nazis off before
we turn our full attention to the Pacific
has left Gen. Macarthur with relatively
unimportant ground forces. Until few
months ago he operated on a shoe
string
The situation is changing rapidly.
While military security prevents the
disclosure Of the number of men being
dispatched to that area, 1t may be taken
Tor granted that Gen Macarthur will
not lack manpower from now on. With
the "softening" of the Luftwaffe. we
and the British now have such an over
whelming superiority in the air over
Europe that much of the production of
the American plane factories has been
diverted to Southwest Pacific.
Landing operations across the Chan
mel have ended and the Germans have
been expelled from the coasts of France

lsuiuh to Hitler

"A NaZl newspaper gr1mly admits
that "the hammer of destiny is
striking heavily against US" and
that "the wind has changed into a
storm that sweeps heavily upon u.s."
And from another source-perhaps
not too reliable-it is reported that
Hitler, in mood of hopelessness,
has immersed himself in a study of
the gentle Buddhist doctrine advo-
eating pity and kindness as
means to salvation.
1t is a question whether the
Fuehrer, whose iron tyranny has
been based on principles antithetical
to Christianity, ever paid much at
tention to the Bible II he had. and
If he had absorbed some of its
warnings and wisdom, he might well
have developed differently, and
Germany and the world might now
be the happier for it. Be that as
1t may, however, in these last days
of his, he should find Isaiah far more
pertinent than Buddha for the fiery
words of the ancient prophet seem
singularly opposite to the hour,
especially such words as these:
Your country is desolate: your
cities are burned with fire; your land,
strangers devour it in your presence
And what will We do in the day
OF visitation and in the desolation
which shall come from far? to whom
will ye flee for help? and where will
We leave your glory? - They come
from far country, from the end of
heaven, even the Lord, and the
weapons Of his indignation, to de-
stroy the whole land. Howl We; for
the day OF the Lord is at hand -"
Thy pomp is brought down to the
grave, and the noise of thy viols the
worm Is spread under thee, and the
worms cover thee. How art thou
fallen from heaven, o Lucifer son of
the morning! how art thou cut down
to the ground, which didst weaken
the nations! - They that see thee
shall narrowly look upon thee, and
consider thee. saying, Is this the man
that made the earth to tremble, that
did shake kingdoms; that made the
world as a wilderness and DESTROYED
the cities thereof; that opened not
the house of his prisoners? -.
Stand now with thine enchant-
ments. and with the multitude of thy
sorcerles, wherein thou hast labored
froA thy youth Let now the
astrologers, the stargazers, the
monthly prognosticators, stand up,
and save thee from these things that
shall come upon thee. Behold. they
shall be as stubble; and the fire
shall burn them; they shall not de-
liver themselves from the power of
the flame Thus shall they be
unto thee with whom thou hast
labored, even thy merchants, from
thy youth: they shall wander every
one to his quarter; none shall save
thee.
Isaiah, of course, like most of the
Bible, offers passages applicable to
all men and all nations, but at this
particular point in history, his words
seem to be addressed directly to
Hitler, the more 50 when they speak
Of u,ortals who presume to place
