To the Editor Of The Star:

headed Exceptions" as carried in the
Bismarck Tribune, by copy, September
%, Is highly commendable, and thank
you.
Since my service as clerk of the Senate
Committee on Indian Affairs during
1927-l932, when with subcommittee I
visited practically every reservation In
the country, have been busy debunking
written history. In this State it was
necessary to show that the expeditions
Of Gems. sibley and sully in 1853, a year
led only to their slaughtering innocent
Indians of the Kanktonai Sioux instead
of the Santee Sioux, responsible for the
massacre. but not for the starving con-
dition they were in, due to mans in
humanity to man." that made them
desperate and reckless OF consequences.
It. Col. Clusters expedition that on
May II, 1876, left Fort A. Lincoln, about
8 miles southwest of this city and across
the Missouri, and led to the Little Big
Horn, was wholly unjustifled. For his
torical purposes have promoted and
obtained action by the NYA in partially
marking the trail with great cedar
markers, and the Greater North Dakota
Association has agreed to take pictures
along the original trail In this State as

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

The German resistance in the Sieg-
fried Line Is stiff but no sitter than the
Allied high command anticipated.
Ever since the Americana British ar
mics broke through the Atlantic Wall,
Gen. Eisenhower and other high-ranking
American officers emphasized the fact
that while the Germans had definitely
lost the war, they still had enough
strength to slow down our offensive and
lnfiict heavy casualties.
The optimism shown in this country
that the enemy might collapse soon was
based on the internal situation within
the Reich which it was hoped would
anect the fighting front. This hope
continues.
The winter in Germany is earlier than
In many other sections OF Western Eu-
rope and also is much harsher. The
Germans still may have certain
amount OF food and other necessities
OF lie, but the homes in most of their
large cities have been reduced to sham
bles and the people in the cities-who
generally are the instigators of rebel
lions and revolutions-are faced with
an insoluble problem.
Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Coloqne.
Munich and other populous cities of the
Reich have been hard hit by Allied
bombers. Blockbusters have DESTROYED
most Of the Germans homes and apart
ment houses. The government made a
real effort to rebuild the damaged fac
tories, but has proved itself incapable of
dealing with the civilian housing prob
lem. In Berlin and Hamburg, for in
stance, there is not a single residential
block left intact. The job done by the
Allied planes in the German cities ex-
ceeds by far the destruction of the
robombs in England.

All over Germany following defeat,
there Will be violent reaction against
the Nazis, and the Gestapo What is
happening in Italy is characteristic.
NOW, when the Russians enter this
territory as administrators they will
almost certainly do two things: Deal
ruthlessly and swiftly with war crimi-
mails and NaZis and back and support
the demand of the peasants for land.
In doing so, however ruthless they may
be IN their purging of guilty individuals
and hostile classes, they will be giving
the bulk OF the population something
it wants.
But how about the industrial regions
which we will occupy-we and the
British? We are going to inherit the
chief German headaches and tensions
1t has been proposed. both by American
and British spokesmen, that German
industries be put under Anglo-American
direction. with, perhaps, the participa-
ton Of other Europeans
The German workers are, however,
largely anticapitahst. Their disillusion-
ment with Hitler is precisely that Ma
tional Socialism wasn't Socialism but
war. They will certainly regard such
Anglo-American proposals, If carried
out, as merely changing one set of op-
pressors for another. and foreigners to
boot. Since every one, after a short
time, dislikes foreign rule. the armies
doing the most occupying will be most
disliked, and the masses Of the workers.
who are most anti-Nazi, will look to-
ward Russia rather than toward the
capitalist powers, because Russia is
both socialist and not in control
Berlin. though it may be Jointly occu-
pied, will lie in the Russian zone. And.
believe me, the Russians know a great
deal more about Germany than either
We or the British. 1t would be to our
obvious interest that the natural DO
litical disadvantages of occupation be
shared by all Allies
mus the proposed plan creates i'm
medlately, within Germany spheres of
influence sundering the three Allies.
Politically, the Soviets will be in the
better, not the worse position For
Russia is both more imminent threat
and an inescapable neighbor. And

celvably, sometime. be spearhead

Slave Revolt Called

General EisenhoWer's call for
revolt of the foreign workers inside
Germany is a portent of deep sig
nificance. Those conscripted hordes,
mostly Poles, Russians, and French
men, but also containing large
contingents of Dutch, Belgians,
Norwegians and others, probably
number fully 100000, scattered
throughout the Reich and engaged
IN every sort of activity from farm
work to the highest types OF skilled
labor. Without their compulsory
efforts, German agriculture would
be badly crippled while industry
would virtually collapse Still more
devastating would be their active
hostility, amounting to a servile
insurrection unparalleled since the
great slave revolts in the ancient
world symbolized by spartacus
This is precisely the instruction
broadcast by General Eisenhower.
Those enslaved millions are hidden
not only to intensity showdown
tactics and clandestine sabotage;
they are also told that the hour
for action has come and they are
given precise instructions for ag-
gressive action by "organized cells
which are being provided with
means for active resistance" That
ts tho fret oRoiol ;y,t;r, otio, <bo+
we have had Of Allied liaison and aid
to the foreign workers in Germany
similar to that extended to the
"undergrounds" in France and the
Low Countries which proved so ef-
fective in cracking the shell of
Hitler's "Festung Europa"
Those known precedents logically
portend an equal success in Hitler's
citadel. The Allies did not ask the
patriotic undergrounds to take the
supreme risk until effective support
was at hand. In the same way
Eisenhower proclamation urges the
foreign workers in Germany to obey
orders, proceed cautiously, and not
unnecessarily expose themselves to
the Gestapo, whose power and ruth
lessness is not underestimated. At
the same time, they are hidden to
act promptly and do their utmost.
From all this, other logical de-
ductions can be drawn. Once such
a servile revolt gets under way, it
must have quick and adequate
Allied and Russian support if it is
not to be quenched in general mas
sacreS Of which the Gestapo and SIS
are quite capable The inference
Is that Eisenhower either expects
rapid crumbling of Germany's outer
defenses or that numerous para
troop landings are projected from
both west and east in many parts
of the Reich. Only a portion of
General Brereton's Air Army has
been used in Holland, while the
Russians are known to have para
troops on an even larger scale We
may thus be on the eve of events
unique in history.

many is intense from the middle Of
October on. The wooden shacks which
are now being built in haste by the
civilian population will keep them from
rain and snow but will not give them
the necessary warmth.
During the summer the situation has
been bearable But grave health
problem rises in the late fall and winter,
due to the lack of housing and fuel.
Most OF the physicians are with the
armed forces and cannot be spared for
the civilians who are suffering much
more than the men at the front.
So long as there was even vague
hope that the Nazi armies would pre-
vent the Allies from entering the Faith
erland. the population continued to be-
lieve that another effort would prevent
total disaster and was willing to put up
with the greatest hardships. But now
that the Allied armies are pounding at
the last organized line of defense, this
hope begins to fade away.
Discomfort over the situation has been
heard in the last few weeks more
strongly than ever before The Gestapo
is on the job and the Peoples Courts
are working overtime sending individ-
uals to concentration camps or to the
executioner's ak. But while the Gestapo
can deal with local outbursts, 1t is not
believed that it can place in a concen-
tration camp or execute the bulk of the
German population.
According to neutrals who recently
come from the Reich, arms are being
smuggled among the Workmen The
consensus OF these usually reliable neu-
tral observers is that a serious revolu-
tlonary outbreak in Germany may be
expected at any time and its effect on
the men at the front will be of great
assistance to the fighting armies.
Military observers agree that il the
Internal situation in the Reich continues
relatively quiet, the Job ahead of the
Allied armies will remain difficult and
the resistance Of the Germans may not
break for several months.
Evening star., 1944-09-27

desperate German resistance has slowed
down the Allied attempts to get help
through to the airborne forces which
are enclrcled north Of the Nieder Rhein
at point about three miles west of
Arnhem. These forces do not appar-
entity, control the northern end of the
highway bridge in Anthem itself "a de-
tachment there seems to have been elm
mated by German attacks nor even the
railway bridge west of the town though
the situation at that bridge is uncertain.
German troops from the Russian front
are reported to be fighting in this area
There is every evidence that the German
high command has given orders that the
crossing OF the Nieder Rhein at Arnhem
be held at all costs.
+
The relief of these trapped air-borne
troops against this sort of opposition
requires that broad and secure corri-
DOR OF advance be opened right up to
and across the Waal. This is being
done; we seem already firmly set on
the Mas and are improving our situa-
tion between the Mas and the WAL
Meanwhile there are only two ways OF
helping the airborne troops in the Arm
hem area-by air-borne aid and by in
filtration. Both are being tried, but
the combined possibilities of both
methods are limited, and may be in
sufficient. If SO, the men who are
fighting at Arnhem will at least, by
their sacrifice, have contributed ma
terially to a very considerable Allied
success which has brought our forces
closer to a break-through of the main
German defensive position in the west
the line of the Rhine-than at any
other point, and which will certainly
be the springboard for further Allied
advances.
Meanwhile, 1t Is good idea-to use
an Army phrase-to keep on looking
at "the big picture" The enemy is at
full strain all along his western defense
zone. He is putting in everything he
has, every man he can scrape up Gen.
Eisenhower still disposes of reserve strik-
ing power in considerable forces. His
problems are those of transport, supply
and therefore Of time. A tactical re-
verse at any one point may cost us
time, but It cannot cost us victory.
The Germans are trying desperately
to drag out the war into the winter
months; they have not yet succeeded
even In that, and there is little reason
to suppose, from the situation as it now
exists, that they are going to be allowed
to do 80.
