The problems OF the German
settlement beyond the first phase
of military occupation particularly,
what is to be the enduring politi-
cal order of the German nation,
what is to be its social economy
cannot be resolved at this time.
He who thinks, for example, that
he can draw lines on a map for
the partition of Germany and then
order Germany partitioned, is in
dulging his own fantasies. He could
just as well order the cook to I'M
scramble yesterdays scrambled
eggs.
Whether Germany should and
can be partitioned is an I'M
answerable question until we know
what the Germans are like who
will rise to leadership after the
destruction of the Nazi regime. We
cannot know this until as result
of the purge of the Nazis, perhaps
Of a German rebellion against
their masters and of Allied govern
ment leading to the restoration OF
local and provincial self-govern-
ment, we find out what Germans
the Germans will follow. 1t may be
that these postwar Germans will
wish to break up the Ger
man Reich. 1t may be that they will
wish to decentralize it. If what we
are looking for is a lasting solu-
ton, we must not for moment
imagine that it can be achieved
without a very large measure OF
German consent and participation.
The crucial need at this time is
that we should think systematical-
ly, which means above all to
realize that these problems can be
decided rightly only if they are de-
cided in the right order. First,
things come first, and before sec
end things, because the second
things will be different depending
on how we nave deaf with the
first things. Thus we can think
about dinner but we had better
not order it until we know how we
feel when we have eaten and
digested our lunch. Whether Ger
many is to be partitioned cannot
and should not be decided until
German self-government has
been restored up to the level Of
the historic German states such
as Bavaria, Baden, Wurttemberg.
Partition is confusing word for
the thing that Mr.. Sumner Welles
and others are advocating. To par.
tition country has always meant
as in the case of Poland in the
eighteenth century to divide ii
up and then to annex the parts to
its neighbors. But nobody dreams
Of annexing all the separated parts
Of Germany. What is really meant
by partition" is the dissolution OF
the German national state by the
secession Of the old German states
which have become incorporated
in the Reich.
Now secession, without annexa.

several independent German states.

ferent policies. German industry
must be controlled, not so much to
prevent war but for the purpose
of making it serve the reconstruc-
ton of Europe.
How this is to be done cannot,
however, be settled until the three
big powers call France and the
leading European nations into their
councils.

Two timely books on French
men who will be remembered,
however history may deal with
them, are "The Truth About
De Gaulle," by Andre Riveloup
lArco: 81, and "Petain, the Old
Man of France" by Janet Flan-
Aer (Simon & Schuster: ST..
The former comedies with de-
Eaulle's visit to the United
States, and the latter, consisting

appeared in the New Yorker, is
. companionpiece in that it was
Petain who passed death sem
tence on the de Gaulle of World
War II who dared to organize
the Fighting French from Lon
'don, and fight on.
Riveloup writes pretty much
as a Boswell to de Gaulle. An
ardent follower, he presents the
lanky French gen eral as
Frances only hope, and as the
choice of true French patriots
everywhere. The book is more
than a plug for de Gaulle how
ever; it gives a clear portrait

the internal conditions in
France which prevented it from
recognizing the farsightedness

anized war as it was used by the
Germans to crush his own land.
Miss Flanner has achieved an
excellent, brief biography Of
Petain, the dyed-in-the-Wool
defeatist who handed over
France on a silver platter. His
attitude in the first great war,
even though he was acclaimed
as the hero Of Verdun, was one
of hopelessnesS, and when you
get to know him as he was
then, his remark made four
years ago comes as no great
surprise: "A nation has to be
whipped sometimes the
country ought to know we have
been beaten. For two years /
have been repeating it to myself

CLOVER SEED

Harvesting of a normal crop of
clover seed in Maryland this year
will augment AAA benefit payments
to farmers in this state by approx
mately 100000 as the result of a
special appropriation by Congress
to encourage the harvesting of more
clover seeds.
Leonard c. Burns, State AAA vice
chairman, predicts that the new AAA
payments will increase the acreage
harvested for seed and thereby in
crease above the 100000 estimate
the States share in the appropria-
ton.
Maryland farmers have been har-
vesting $1,000 acres of clover seed
annually. OF this about 5000 acres
are in red clover. The average pro-
duction of seed has been $4,000 bu-
shells of the two varieties.
Leading producing counties in the
State are: Frederick, 5000 acres,
5000 bushels: Queen Anne's, $500
acres, 4400 bushels; Carroll, 5000
acres, 1900 bushels; Talbot, 300
acres, 1900 bushels: Howard, 5000
acres, 1900 bushels; Montgomery,
2100 acres, $500 bushels; Washing
ton, 1900 acres, 1900 bushels; Balti-
more 400 acres, 1900 bushels; Car
oline, 400 acres, 400 bushels; Har-
ford, 1900 acres, 100 bushels; Kent
1900 acres, 1900 bushels.
The new AAA benefit payments are
$3.50 for each acre of red or alsike
clover harvested for seed and three
and one-half cents for each pound of
of red clover seed and two and one
half cents for each pound of alsike
clover seed harvested and sold to a
dealer or cleaned and tested.

COMPLIMENTS THE GOVERNOR

In an open letter to Governor
O'Conor, complimenting him on saw
ing of some $2,544, 900 for Maryland
taxpayers last year, Harry S. hidden
dorf, leader of organized taxpayers
of the State, told the Governor that
the best postwar planning is that
which will keep the cost of govern
ment from robbing the people of the
blessings of liberty.
The $2.544,00O saving was effect
ed during the fiscal year ending June
80. 100000 was saved by spend
ing less than was appropriated. for
the various State Departments, and
S544,O00 was saved in two war en-
Urgency funds. The actual savings
may be higher since some of the de,
partments have not yet reported their
total economies.
Mr.. Middendorf told the Governor
that common sense in Maryland gov
eminent now, while half the world
has forgotten that every dollar spent
by government must be earned by
the citizens, would make Maryland
better able to solve it's problems af-
ter the war. Business will be forced
to watch every tax dollar, and low
rates here will invite new industries
which will help provide new jobs and
add to the States wealth and we'll
being.

SENATOR WILEY'S FORESIGHT

People in Washington can't get
over the fact that American Ambas-
sador Grew reported on the dangers
of an attack from Japan to the De-
partment of State long before Pearl
Harbor.
And Washington remembers that
Senator Wiley of Wisconsin had an
inkling that things were in bad
way in the Pacific, and that he intro
duced a resolution nearly year be-
fore Pearl Harbor asking the Secre-
tary of State to appear before the
Senate in Executive session and
make a report on the situation in the
Pacific. 1t has been suggested that
had this Wiley first" resolution
been adopted that the Japs might not
have been able to get away with the
attack on Pearl Harbor.
1t also appears that Senator Wiley
has been FIRST" in looking ahead
most of time during the six years in
which he has been in the Senate. AT
least he was the first person to rec
ommend to the Secretary of the Navy
and the Maritime Commission that
shipyards be constructed in the Great
Lakes area and utilized to help pro-
duce American ships. Today our
Great Lakes areas stand out at the
peak among the regions where big
things are done to win the war.

AUTO USE STAMPS

Maybe you can't prevent the theft
of your SIS ''use" tax stamps, but
Keystone Automobile Club tells how
to protect yourself against another
five-dollar-wallop in case your stamp
is lost or stolen:
Make a note of the serial number
of the stamp, the Club advises, and
if it's stolen or lost notify the Office
of Collector of Internal Revenue,
giving the number of the stamp and
the location of post office or other
agency where purchase was made. In
cases where such information is
made available, the Collector will
issue 'certification" to the effect
that the laws requirements have
been complied with. If questioned by
Internal Revenue agnets because of
the absence of stamp on the wind
shield, the motorist can avoid arrest
and penalty by producing the "certi-
fcation."
The Club also urges motorists to
write the make, model, engine num-
Der and license number ON the back
of the stamp as precaution against
theft, pointing out that identified
stamps are less likely to be stolen
than those without Identification. The
serial number is found on the back
of the stamp.
