Germany will have to farm more
II the military men have their way.
They would strip her not alone OF
army, navy and luftwaffe-especial-
ly luftwaffe-but of the means To
build them up again. All machines,
tools and factories meant to make
arms or anything like arms would
be wrecked.
90 YEARS OF RE-EDUCATION
To insure that Germany will keep
the peace in future will mean dis
armament and re-education. That
will probably take 20 years under
an Allied armed guard-also a lot
of help from large Allied civilian
reconstruction organization.
Those views are not all official
nor officially adopted but they may
we'll prevail. Some well-informed
Americans hold them and so do
many Russians who are very real
istic and on some counts would go
farther than we.
AS to reconstruction, some Brit
ish civilians want to welcome Ger
many again more quickly to fun
partnership in world endeavor-
partly from what they hold to be
humanitarian motives, partly as
possible customer for themselves
and a counter-poiSe to Russia.
The military men say there can
be no peace with Germany if be-
fore She is cleanSed of Nazis and
re-educated she is allowed to have
a gun or an airplane Or any other
weapon or means to produce it.
Later, perhaps 20 years later, she
may be gradually permitted to build
up small police force but under
supervision far closer than after
1918. Whether the military men
who are realists will win out over
politicians and propagandists al
ready being heard remains to be
seen.

SPECULATIVE PRICES
ON FARM LAND
pasadena Star-NeWs)

Commentators on human affairs find
cause for wonderment in the fact that
the generation which experienced the first
World War should have allowed the sec
ond World War to engulf mankind And
as the present war is fought there IS a
nearly universal determination that there
shall not be third world war.
The same school of eXperince taught
other bitter lessons which should not be
forgotten. One of them is called to the
memory of the American people by Sec
retary of Agriculture Claude r. Wick
ards warning that another boom in farm
land is developing. If it should be un-
checked, there is no reason to think that
the results would be any less disastrous
than those of the farmland boom during
the last war
The rate at which farmland prices
are rising, coupled with the large number
of sales, are unmistakable signs that an
inflationary land spree is under way in
many regions the secretary of agricul
ture said. His statement is supported by
the department of agriculture survey
showing that wartime prices for farm
products have boosted land values at an
average of AZ per cent above the l935-39
average.
Land is the source of wealth. and real
estate investments, city and country, are
sound but only at prices based on stable
values. Purchasers who pay inflated
wartime prices will suffer when the time
of adjustment to normal conditions
comes.

If Defoe had waited until 1912 he could

KIDNAPER OF THREE BOYS

IS THIS THE TIME FOR
LOWERING UTILITY RATES?

There is in progress hearings by the
California State Railroad Commission,
the last slated this week, to determine
whether it should be the decision Of the
commission to refuse more than 100 pub
lie service corporations of the states to
longer deduct federal war taxes as op-
Grating expenses in arriving at rate
tariffs.
This is a matter that should receive
most careful and wise consideration. 1t
touching on the very veXing problem of
initiation inasmuch as a change in the
policy of the corporations would resolve
itself into placing the vast sum now de-
Quoted in the hands of the people for
spending and would at the same time
erase a very material amount from the
actual war funds for which there still
is a pressing demand as seen in the loan
drives each three months. The president
of the commission estimates the total at
around one hundred million dollars in
this state and should the board decide to
change the policy that very act might be
copied throughout the nation which would
mean billions turned loose for uses which
would be cOntributary to initiation. 1t
would moreover, have tendency to the
spending of larger sums for the very
things that the government is insisting
be curtailed rather than increased.
Another thing. Public utility rates
have not been boosted during the war
emergency along with increase in many
other items close to the pocketbooks Of
the public, while the cost of operation Of
industry and business has gone up. In
deed, in some instances utility rates have
been decreased, adding to the problem Of
guarding against Initiation.
There doesn't appear to be much Of
logic in offering something at a less cost
at a time when the buyers are plenty able
to pay the current rate and at time
when that very happening would tend to
cut into fiscal support of the war effort.
1t is safe to say that there would be the
need to return to higher rates after the
war and therefore, the main result would
be to create confusion and dissatisfaction
at time when a level keel will be needed
so badly.
1t is contended by some firms that any
such m owe would be ruinous if brought
about by a blanket order. Manifestly
what one firm could do under certain
conditions might not apply at all to an
other firm operating under different
conditions.
Most assuredly any action now which
would mean a reverse after war and in
that reversal make demands for more ex-
penditures on the part of the public,
would be serious, coming at time when
the public might not be able to meet such
demands.
Cutting rates to get away from excess
profits taxes also has its dangerous side
because there is no basic level upon which
such cuts could be established in a blanket
order and again the very industry which
accommodates the public and produces
the taxes could be crippled to great ex-
tent.
1t seems the time to contemplate a
change is not now and that the commits
sion has a very vital and serious matter
to consider and that precipitous action is
unWarranted.

bipartisan and should have the
united support of the American
people
Il am happy to accept your pro-

nate Mr.. John Foster Dulles as my
representative, he added.
Mr. Dulles, who is we'll known to
you and to President Roosevelt, has

Structive action in the field Of for
eign affairs. I consider him one of
the very ablest of American au-
thOritieS on International relations.
He is fully acquainted with my
views and has my complete personal
confidence which I am happy to say
is shared by a number of members
of the United States Senate Of
varying political views.
I'm view especially Of the progress

both temporarily and permanently
for the Enlistment of lasting
peace should be accelerated and I
am happy to extend my fullest CO.

WASHINGTON, Aug. s. - news
from Germany has greatly Speeded
planning for her future by several
government agencies here which see
chance of an earlier collapse than
had been reported-although that
was less early than many Ameri-
cans have believed.
Allied military experts are vir-
tually agreed that if we want "a
peace worth the paper it is written
on, the first clause must diSarm
Germany completely and utterly.
That is a hitherto unpublicized rea-
son for the attempted revolt of
some German generals still un-
touched by the Nazi madness.
They have means of knowing
what the distinguished professional
soldiers of Britain, Russia and this
country decided after studying the
problem of peace in Europe from
a practical aspect untinged by SEN
timentality These ReichWehr chiefs
want to cut Germany's losses, play
safe, and get her out of a bad busi-
ness with at least a shirt But Hit
Ter wants desperate last stand, a
gamble that the Allies will tire of
blood-letting and ease off.
But once again, the Corporal of
Berchtesgaden is befooling his coun-
try. For the fact is that the longer
he fights, the better the chance
Germany will lose her shirt. Indeed,
if some people like the Poles, the
Relgians, the Czechs and the French
had their way, Germany would be
flayed alive. The longer Hitler
fights, the Stiffer his peace terms
WILL be. Already they are likely to
be very stiff.

NOBODY WANTS THE
GERMANS

Representatives here of Poland,
France, Holland and other victim
lied countries will want some of
what is now German soil-but no
Germans. They will make strong
argument in logic and justice.
That would mean large inter-
changes of population. 1t would
ring Germany with nations all
strengthened by addition of soil to
which some have excellent claims,
some not, and 10y more homogen-
eouS populations. Germans and
Poles, for instance, would be inter-
changed as they should have been
and were not after 1918. The Turks
and Greeks have shown how this
is practicable and makes bad neigh
borS good ones.
More Germans would be crammed
into less Space-the CzechS want
the Sudetenland but without the
Sudeten Germans who now inhabit
1t. Few nations are likely to well
come Germans as immigrants. But
belief grows that the Germans will
still be able to make a good living
L they try. For instance, convert
ing some OF their enormous and
unproductiVe state-oWned forests to
farmland and by tilling their soil
SO well that it produces as much
as does Hollands, which is only
70 per cent as good but neverthe-
less Is made to outstrip Germany's.

OPERATES RIFLE
Clayton is a private first class.
He operates a Browning automatic
riile. He has turned down two
chances 10 become a buck sergeant
and squad leader, simply because
he would rather keep his powerful

personal protection.
He landed in Normandy on D-day.
on the toughest of the beaches, and
was in the line for 81 days without
rest. He has had innumerable mar
row escapes.
Twice, 88s hit within a couple of
arms length of him. But both times
the funnel of the conclusion was
away from him and he didn't get a
scratch, though the explosions Gov
cred him and his rifle with dirt.
Then a third one hit about 10
feet away, and made him deaf in
his right ear He had always had
trouble with that ear anyway
earaches and things as a child.
Even in the army back in America
he had TO beg the doctors to waive
the ear defect in order to come
overseas. He is still a little hard Of
/ hearing in that ear from the shell
burst, but it's gradually coming
back.
INSISTED ON RIGHTS
When Tommy finally left the
lines he was pretty well done up
and his sergeant wanted to send
him to a hospital, but he begged
not to 60 for fear he wouldn't get
back to his old company, 50 they let
him go 10 a rest camp instead. And
