NEW NAZI ATTITUDE

Post D-Dov reports from Europe indicate that the
attitude Of Nozi prisoners is changing The Afriko
korps boys we're cocky in defeat, sure OF victory
But todov some Of the captured Nozs are taking q
gloomy view, as S. j. WooIf NEA Services ortlst-cor-
respondent, reveals in q recent story
Mr. Woolf made trip from France to tn9ono
aboard an LIST With what appears to be pretty eooo
crosssection Of the German army There we're 70
in the group old soldiers and young, men from every
point of the German compass. And they represented
variety Of opinions
The older men we're the most voluble and most
DISCOURAGED. Others in the group we're sullen, and
IGNORED Mr. Woolfs questions. The youngster Of the
bunch was defiontIy pro-Nozi. Those who talked
freeIv told the interviewer that Hitlers popularity
possed it's peak in the year he came to power; that
onIy third of the Germans still follow him; thot
the Luftwoffe is about done for. They even oked
bit at the Fuehrer's expense.
Yet none of them seemed to regret the war; they
only regretted not winning it.
Mr. Woof reports no Pentence, no shame tor ur'-
provoked attack or mass brutality. Safe from the
Gestopo some Of these soldiers dored to criticize
HitIers conduct of the war. But Of reenentotion
poeroms, racial superiority, and national policy OF
tyranny and foIsehood, not word.
1t is encouraging, Of course, to find that some
Germans ore beginning to douot f'ltler 'noh'O'-
ity But it would be dangerously wishfu thinking to
conclude that these doubts are portent Of nmed-
late and general German collapse, or that they will
detroct much from the victorious Allies long and
painful task of trying to build democratic Ger
many.
These erumbIine, discouraged soldiers ore too
typical Of the lethorgc German masses who, though
not devoid Of deceney, btheIy voted away their free
dom in 1888 The defiant younester is too typical OF
German youth whose poisoned minds must be de-
educated and re-edueoted.
Too many Of the democratic, actively onti-Noz
Germans Railways minority ore dead or exiled to
make the job Of German reconstruction anything
short of tremendous.
But the job has to be done if the worlds future
is to be secure 1t will take much time and require
much vigilance. And there are no apparent short
cuts - which is something to remember when the
soft peace for Germany" talk begins, os it surely
will.

Along with Allied victories in
the various theaters Of war
come thoughts of peace. Partic
ularly timely in connection with
this subject are three books,
Primer of the Coming World"
by Leopold Schwarzs c h d
(knopf: $3.50; The Great De-
cision," by James T. Shotwell
Macmillan: $50, and Ruhl J.
Bartlett'S The League to En-
force Peace" university of

twenty-five years ago opti-
mistic guessWork was made the
basis Of peace at Versailles and
the result was utter failure,
SChWarzSchild says. The popular
inference from this today is to
accept pessimistlc guessWork.
However, SChWarzschild does
not go all out for pessimism. He
is in favor of leaving out the
guesSWork altogether. Demlli-
tarization of Germany at least
until the youth of today is dod-
dering in age, is an accepted
axiom Of the coming peace. But
how Will it be Accomplishment
What is to prevent another ma
ton from becoming militaristic
and to assume the villains role
which Germany plays today?
Even The problem of repara-
tons is bothersome. Germany
should pay, but how? To these
questions SchWarzschild gives
realistic answers. He warns
against pitfalls and even when
he points out that something
might work, he tells us that
nothing is likely to last forever.
And: "A third German World
war would be worse than just
another war; it might very well
be war in conditions of deeper
and more widespread demorali-
zation than this one" he says.
1T must not happen" he de-
clares.
He concludes, in analyzing
the situation, that it is not an
exaggerated hope that in fields
of universal peace and perma-
nent wcll-being, great things
will come to pass.
But in order to make them
attainablc. our ideas about them
must remain moderate. The
world has the prospect Of a long
peace and Of progressively
greater wcll-being if it does not
fall victim to the illusion Of abb
solute and total solutions"

everyone concerned for a lot of
groundwork.
The brilliant Bartlett profess
sor of history at Tufts College,
traces the history of The League
to Enforce Peace. Organized in
1915 bu such men as Hamilton
Holt. A. Lawrence Lowell, and
William Howard Taft, it became
one of the most powerful in
struments that led up to Amer
lean participation in the League
of Nations.
Vaccinations of the organiza-
tons that resulted in our aban-
doning the League after Presi-
dent Wilson organized it are
thoroughly discussed in this
book, with no punches pulled.
The author gives you plenty, of
meat to chew on in citing past
mistakes made in making the
peace, mistakes we should avoid
after this war.
Everyone's "map-happy in
following the progress of the
war on various fronts, For that
reason two recent books will

Harrison for the editors of For

Harrison has treated his maps
differently. He has drawn them
from the viewpoint of the air
age in order to show Americans
why we are fighting in strange
places and why trade follows
various routes.
1t is difficult to visualize the
interrelationship of lands spread

Political oratory is tricky
stuff. 1t is designed to sound
like a lot but say as little as
possible. It's purpose is to en-
thuse party workers, give slo-
gans to supporters, create doubt
and discomfort among oppon-
ents, and provide a minimum of
ammunition for the enemy's
counter-attacks.
Speakers at the Republican
convention from keynoter War
rem to Governor Dewey follow
ed the pattern. They secreted
their nuggets of wisdom care
fully in long strings of pretty
words. Yet nuggets were there
If not of wisdom, at least of
information for those who were
curious what candidate Dewey
would try to make the issues
of the coming campaign.
In sitting the wheat from the
chaff it is helpful to bear in
mind that, unlike ALI Landon
In 1886, Tom Dewey is not going
to let others dictate his strategy
and select his issues. There hav-
ing been no meeting of minds in
advance, one should not seek
clews to the issues in what was
said by Herbert Hoover or Clare
Luce or Joe Martin or even by
John Bricker, who in the inter-
est of party unity was given the
vice-presidential nomination.
Of the speakers in Chicago
three have long been in close
accord in their political philos-
ophies. 1t is safe to say that
what Governors Warren and
Griswold said comes close to
what Dewey thinks. If you will
analyze all the speeches they
will fall into two quite dissimi-
lar groups those of Warren,
Griswold and Dewey in one, all
the rest in another. The first
may be assumed to forecast the
general tenor of the campaign.

Hollywood producers know that an
Academy Award winner Is worth his
weight in gold, while movie-goers
the name of Paul Lukas
asa guarantee of fine entertain
ment. Address Unknown" cur
rently showing at the Metropolitan,
proves that the calm faith Of both
parties is well justified.
With or without Paul Lukas this
story still Is essentially a one-man
vehicle. With Mr.. Lukas, however,
1t becomes even more tightly knit to
the form, taking on the proportions
of a single character study artis-
tically and cleverly delineated. In
addition to the actor another fea-
tufe adds to the weight of the mar
rative in the element of circumstan-
tial surprise. The author is not just
satisfied with an unexpected ending
to the story. but continually brings
novel twist to his cat-and- mouse
Gestapo tale.
AS a German susceptibly exposed
to Nazi theology, Mr.. Lukas forfeits
family, honor, as we'll as his own
life, turning in piece of acting ap-
preaching in quality his role in
Watch on the Rhine" After his
performance the movie is important
as Hollywood's choice to introduce
Miss K. T. Stevens, the girl whose
chief claim to fame and publicity
heretofore rested on her initialed
first name.
Miss Stevens has a small but ef-
fective role to prove her worth. She
possesses character foretold by
high forehead and quite the most
expressive hands we have seen in
a long time, but what she does with
these and with the part could have
been achieved as we'll, and probably
with less effort. by several members
of Hollywood's fair gallery. An
other part, ably handled, but even
smaller, went to Peter Van Eyck as
Mr. Lucas son, in love with Miss
Stevens.
This story of Germans in Ger
many and Germans in San Fran
cisco throws four lives into the
shadow of Hitler's rise to power
and endangers all when a single one
becomes darkened by it. The racial
question is the springboard for the
tragedy which separates two life
long friends and turns a son against
his father. When Paul Lukas leaves
his Jewish partner to run their
San Francisco art business and
goes back to the homeland to buy
paintings his ethics and outlook on
life become mired in the quicksand
OF the new order. He stands by and
permits the cold-blooded murder of
his partners daughter. How the
plot of revenge slowly drives Lukas
back against wall bordered by a
Nazi firing squad makes the most
fascinating thread in the story.
AS compared with the narrative,
musical score may not mean
much to the average movie audi
ence, at least consciously the ma
