as it has been gathered from current
German publications, from escapes who
land In London and Algiers, and from
underground newspapers:
l. Instructions for Germans in Das
SchWarze Korps, a publication for the
SIS" (or Schutzstaffel, the elite of the
German war machine). This is from
the July IS, 1943, issue:
Cautious people are so ridiculously
short-sighted They do not think we
shall need strong Wehrmacht in 20
years time. They do not remember
that our grandchildren must do the
work our sons are unable to do.
Hits Empty Cradles.
Twenty years from now Germany
will also need a strong army. We can
not force death to abstain from taking
our fighting sons, or even to spare our
country. But we can defeat death with
birth. Therefore, every one must see
that the cradle in his house is never
empty"
2. The basic problem for Germans is
the fight to preserve their numerical
superiority over their neighbors. When
they started this war, 65000,000 Ger
mans attacked 35,000,0 900 Poles, and then
turned on 100000 French; the Poles
and the French being their strongest
European opponents numerically.
Here was the German fear; demo-
cratic (population) charts show that
Germanys population was due to hit
a downward curve between 1910 and
1945, while Poland's would continue up-
ward, until in 1885, Poland would have
more than Germany
This did not accord with the 13O-year-
old German notion that Germany must
rule the world; see the new book, Know
Your Enemy" If proof is needed that
the Germans have harbored this vicious
dream that long
Many bio-pohtical writers believe Ger
mauy started this war in 1889 because
of these population facts
This German population policy, as
hand-maiden to war, has two angles;
first, to keep up production of potential
warriors; second to prevent her neigh
bors from doing so.

have been categorically denied by Gen.
Hines, who told the House subcommittee
that he didn't know of single instance
in which a veteran of the present war
was barred from a hospital for lack of
space. He added that there are thou
sands of empty beds at the present time.
What are the plain facts about the
Veterans Administration program?
How many hospital beds are now avail
able, and how many are occupied? What
are the plans for expansion, and on
what bases were they evolved? Gen.
Hines, in his appearance before the
House committee, provided most of the
answers to these and similar questions
Seeks Great Expansion.
Gen. Hines obtained the committee
approval of a request for $30,000,000 for
9,252 additional beds for veterans hos
pitals, with all but 200 intended for
neuropsychiatric patients.
There are at the present time 83837
beds, in hospitals and domiciliaries (old
soldiers homes) and of these 1854 are
unoccupied. AS of March 8, the occupied
beds in the hospitals included 52,095
veterans of World War I and other
wars and II 1853 veterans of this war, a
total of 63,948 In veterans hospitals. On
the same date, there were 1851 veterans
of the first World War and other wars
in domiciliaries, and 1874 veterans of this
war, a total of 10,o35, or an aggregate
total of 1888 in hospitals and veterans
homes
1t should perhaps be re-emphasized
that this is wholly exclusive of the thou
sands of ailing servicemen now in Army
Navy hospitals, who have not yet been
discharged.
1t should also be noted that the bulk
of those in veterans hospitals have non-
service disabilities; that is, their all
ments Or disabilities have no connection
with their war service. The point is
stressed, too, that most of these patients
are in the hospitals for relatively short
time, and thus the aggregate figures for
disqualification are constantly changing
Veterans hospitals have treated $780,
900 cases since 1919.
Peak Load i'm 1875.
Gen. Hines showed the House commit
tee a chart he had prepared giving the
estimated future loads for veterans hos
pitals and domiciliaries 1t revealed
that by 1850, the Veterans Administra-
tion expects to have 64,700 cases from
World War II and 77,900 cases from all
other wars, or an aggregate of 1880.
BY 1860, it was estimated, the number
of World War II men would reach 49,
600, and the number of men of all other
wars 9l,900, a total of 04900. In 1870,
the load of World War II veterans will
be $4,000, and $4,000 from other wars,
a total of 287 900. The peak period is
anticipated in 1875, with BOT, 900 World
War II veterans and 81, 400 men of other
wars. a total of 298, 400.

The Polish underground has reported
thousands of cases of sterilization of
Poles by Germans. But there the
Germans go much further in "extermi-
nation" generalization and weakening
Evidence collected from the country's
underground newspapers-the most ac-
tive such papers in occupied Europe
gives this picture:
Germans denying food to Polish
adolescents but supplying them with
whisky, which the Germans have made
cheap and plentiful; denying them the
usual Polish opera, but giving the young
sters shows of pornographic pictures
use of Polish girls in army brothels
kidnapping blond Polish girls to send
them to propagation centers, and after
they have given birth to children, to
slave labor camps.
Camp "to Improve Race"
There is camp at Helenowa, Poland,
set up by the German scientific investi-
cation group" and called the camp for
the improvement OF the Nordic race"
Germans populate it with both German
and Polish youths, from Is to 49,

with swimming pools classrooms and
tWo-people huts. The Germans and
Poles are thoroughly mixed, and their
life is supervised. The young Poles
who refuse to have children are sent
on to slave labor camps in Germany.
Hitler explains all this in a speech
picked up by Andre Cheradame, one
of Europe's greatest authorities on pan
GermaniSm, who is also living in New
York. Cheradame quotes Hitler in his
Defense of the Americas; page 143":

granted, first, the right to live with
Norwegian (blond) girls.
Adoption by Germans.
On that point the Stockholm, Sweden,
newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported
last December II that the SIS general,
Redies, a German stationed in Norway,
has issued just 20 copies of little book
called For Greater Germany, Sword
and Cradle" with instructions for
new organization called "Lebensborn, >"
which means, "the source of life," to
direct these German-Norwegian al
liances.
For the organization, luxurious lying
in homes have been set up around Ber-
gen, homes appropriated from Norwegian
citizens. Germany pays for the care
OF the pregnant Norwegian girls, and
for their boy children.
The booklet stresses the duty of Ger
mans to produce as many children as
possible, and says further about these
namelesS children, that since they have
German blood the mothers right to
the child is nom existent, even if the
German father has a German wife at
home. 1t is the German wife's duty to
adopt the child"

tlSements like this:

Tlllinger is advocating in European
councils that the neighooring countries
adopt the nameess children in order to
reduce, at least by that much, the man
power of Germany 20 years hence. He
believes they can be raised to decent
citizens of peace-loving countries.

problem, says, Germany should be so
