bottom starts to fall out of the labor
market is silly.
Cited as evidence of the need for
increasing basic wage rates now is a
confidential study made by OPA
economists, indicating that when
the war ends, the drop in national
income from wages will be II billion
dollars a year-half of it represent
ing the complete disappearance Of
war Jobs. the other half represent
ing the lowering of income from
wages due to the return OF new
hiah-paid war workers to lower-paid
Jobs in laundries, stores, domestic
service or other former employment.
As an offset to this loss OF ma
ticnal income due to disappearance
of war production jobs. it is calcu-
lated that if the 17-cents-an-hour
wage increase demanded by the
SteelworkerS were given straight
across the board to the l2,OOO,OO0
people now employed in manufac-
turing industries, the increase III
national wages would amount to

NOT THE END OF THE STORY
(Christian Science Monitor)


The American public must be content
to accent the statements of the Secretar-
les of War and the Navy that nothing IN
the conduct of either Major General
Walter c. Short or Rear Admiral Hus-
band f. Kimmel prior to the disastrous
japanese surprise attack at Pearl Har-
Dor warrants a court-martlal OF either
officer Military and Naval courts OF
inquiry have been held and the judg-
ment of the top officials, based thereon,
must be accepted-for the present. But
the entire affair must be brought out
into the full light of day when the end
of the war in the Pacific will permit
complete publicity.
The Secretaries themselves, who APP
parentlv collaborated before the state
ments were made public, seem to believe
that the last word has not been said on
the Pearl Harbor tragedy. They speak
of evidence now available and quite
apparently are not completely satisfied
with their court of inquiry reports. II
these Cabinet members themselves feel
unsatisfied with the results, is not the
public likely to be even more so? The
conclusions now for the first time pub
licly admit that ''errors of judgment by
unidentified officers in Washington con-
tributed to the disaster.
With the war going on, even Congress
sional investigation probably cannot
bring completely to light all the hidden
facts in the Pearl Harbor case. While it
is concluded that errors of judgment
were committed by Army and Navy Off
GERS on Oahu, we do not yet know what
their orders or information from Wash
ington may have been. General Shorts
relief was demanded in the circumstance
es. Secretary Stimson says. and he i'm
plies the punishment was sufficient. The
General is beyond the age for reinstate-
ment. Admiral Kimmel, however, is ac-
lively seeking return to duty.
The end of the Pearl Harbor story
probably has not been told, but it will
have to wait for the end of the war.

DEARTH OF MANPOMER
IN WAR PRODUCTION

War Mobilization Director Byrnes
backed by General Hershey have re-de-
clarad their intention of putting into eff
feet the teeth in the measure generally
characterized as work or fight The
regenerated move, of course, is to fill
war plant jobs to capacity, and the new
order cites men who have quit war pro-
duction work for private industry or no
jobs at all.
Byrnes lays down the law Hershey
proposes to see that all such persons
either are on the way back to the war
plant jobs with the only alternative to
be certification to their respective select
tive service boards.
That the war plants still need to be
manned to capacity or at least to capac
tiles consistent with the continuing needs
of the war. War Secretary StimSon,
Navy Secretary Forrestal say produc
tion is tagging. From the European
fronts come direct word that Eisenhower
is looking for more and more munitions;
that Patton had to slow down his attack
because of insufficient munitions, The
same story comes from Macarthur in the
Pacific
There is complete agreement on this
score.
IL Is OF interest, NilllG bN HIS anu
Hershey are proposing to invoke the
work or fight" rule, how and why so
MANY men are off war production. And
it might be that if the reasons are turned
the other way around, these men would
return without the official incentive.
One tremendous channel leading en-
ployables out of war plants is the main
tenance of membership in unions. En-
ployers have no alternative than to fire
a worker if he refuses to comply with
this union requirement. Nor can indus
try be blamed for shortages of manpower
or labor turn overs as long as this pro-
cedure is required by the government.
There can be no doubt many of these
men who thus have quit their jobs i'm
mediately. and voluntarily would return.
Once inducted. they are no longer po-
tential factor in increasing war output.
Another avenue that has beckoned war
workers is the partial program OF recon-
version And this item calls for official
notice. Why have government agencies
injected the reconversion problem at
this crucial time?
If there is a selfish motive on the part
of some industry with influence at Wash
ington, then that should end. Workers
hardly can be blamed if they see the
opportunity to become established in
their former jobs Then there is the
suspicion, hard to identify or fix because
of the specter of the invisible govern
ment, that government agents carefully
are passing out favors expecting to ben
eft. There are governmental groups all
too eager to maneuver so they will have
a big say and hand in disposal of war
surpluses in plants and materials.
Complete hating of these two proceed
ures it seems, would be big help right
now in re-recruiting manpOwer for war

be united in the new republic Prussia,
with 100000 inhabitants. All the
states that were forcibly annexed by
Prussia during the 10th century and
that still hate Prussia should be placed
in the German Confederation.
To prove the Justification of this
measure, Saxony, bordering on Prussia
to the West, should be given a plebiscite
to decide whether she wants to 60 with
Prussia or the Confederation. The re-
suit would assuredly be against Prussia.
The other neighbors, Thuringia, Meek
lenburg, Brunswick Anhalt, never be-
longed to Prussia and would naturally
enter the Confederation
Would Be Tied Together.
The German Confederation, without
Alsace Lorraine, the Saarland and Aus
tria, would have about $4,000, 900
inhabitants. Should Saxony decide for
Prussia, it would have $4,000 900. Ger
many would then have a population
slightly larger than that of Great Bri-
tain, and Prussia would have one equal
to that of Czechoslovakia. The two
republics would be tied together through
postal and monetary unity, through their
railway system, common tariffs, and free
passage of persons between the two.
This division would have two-fold
advantage. The Junkers would lose
their power, and so would the Prussian
general staff
The estates Of the Junkers, the source
OF their privileges, should be divided
among the peasants and tenants who
labor on them, and part of the estates
should be given over to Poland as war
indemnities. This would end the reign
Of the Junkers, without the Allies having
to adopt the policy of the Russian revo-
luton and shooting them one and all
as they deserve.
Even If, in later times, a Prussian
general staff should again organize, it
would be in position to command only
q small army Of 100000. A new king
or fuehrer wanting to go to war would
not be able, like Hitler, to mobilize an
army of 100000 Germans by signing
one order. With a small army, you
cannot start q world war.
The military spirit of Prussia cannot
be stified by Gordon sanitaire. But the
body Of the German nation can be saved
by amputating its poisoned limbs and
by educating reformed Germany to
live In peace and cooperation with the
peoples she once mistreated.

thinks the Mccormick Patterson Hearst
press would support him during the
campaign against President Roosevelt,
who he guesses will be the Democratic
nominee, and that this section of the
press would break with him a few
months after he took office.
If elected he would make use of the
international prestige of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull
in the war and peace negotiations.
In his dealings with Congress he
would seek cooperation and advice,
but at the same time feel that the Presi-
dent, as head of the executive branch
and leader of the Republican party,
should outline the broad governmental
policies.
For executive positions he would seek
the highest type of men for appointive
posts, with a sizable percentage of
young men.
Would Seek Gradual Change.
He would not try to repeal outright
any important New Deal laws, but would
amend some and find different ad-
ministrators for others. He would try
to reduce governmental expenditures
and would be more sympathetic to the
businessman's point of view.
The silent campaign presents ad-
vantages, especially to a man who
learned that the preferential primary
votes can melt away under the heat of
Drnr
groups can be ignored and offers of
unWanted support may be answered by
the form letter that the Governor ap-
preciates the interest, but is not
candidate. If there is repetition of the
1910 defeat, Dewey can go on as Gov
ernor, as he has said he wants to do.
And in l948 Dewey will be only 46 years
old. If the convention nominates him
and he is elected he can turn the COVER
norship over to 1t. Gov. Joe R. Hanley,
who recently won that position by an
overwhelming majority against 1t. Gen.
William N. Haskell, the AL Smith Farley
candidate.

York Republicans are actively, but not

They are his early patron, former

The plans for three great wars of ag-
gression were not made in Munich and
Frankfurt. not in Cologne and Ham,
burg, not in Leipzig and Stuttgart.
They were made by the Prussian gen.
eral staff in Berlin, for here was the
home of the men of great military posi-
ton, here were the sons and grandsons
of those Jurikers whose life for 300 years
had been the wars of Prussia and even
more the preparation for those wars.
Their land and estates, their riches,
power and honor all were derived from
this art of warmaking, developed and
taught with all the efficiency at their
disposal.
Depended on Prussians.
AS power in Prussia was inherited by
those in the upper Glasses, and obedi-
ence was inherited by those below, as
all Prussian commoners tried to copy
the reigning Junkers, the geographical
meaning of the word "Prussian" gave
way to philosophic one. "Prussian-
ism" came to mean certain way of
living that pervaded all classes of an
expanding country.
Bismarck's talent, leaning on an army
said to be invincible, at last made Prus-
sia the undisputed master in Germany.
When he, in 1871, made the King of
Prussia a German emperor, he gave
him the power to call to arms not only
a Prussian army, but an army from all
the other lands of Germany, without
having to fear the opposition of other
princes. This army was trained accord
ing to PruSsian traditions
With single signature, the King of
Prussia, now the Kaiser, could mobilize
troops from all parts of Germany
100000 at the beginning of the last
war, many more later on in the war.
Hitler, the Austrian, and his helpers,
most of whom were not Prussians, had
to make their headquarters in Berlin,
because without the Prussian general
staff he would never have been able to
make war
Isolation of Prussia,
There is only one way to break this
old militant poverty isolation of
Prussia.
If, after Germany's defeat, the Allies
set up two republics, Prussia" and
'Deutscher Bund" German Confedera-
tom, this division will not evoke the
same spirit of revolt and resentment as
would tearing-up of Germany into 20
small parts. For Prussia was disliked
by most other German states even be-
fore World War I. The Rhinelanders,

If the Japanese had quickly won this
war and dictated peace in Washington
they would probably have decreed a
dismemberment of the United States. If
victorious enemy is not in geo.
graphical position to include conquered
country in his boundaries he aims at
weakening his victim by cutting up his
estates.
What would have been the result of
such decree? With the 48 States torn
apart, or even regrouped into only six
separate ones, a national movement
would have arisen simultaneously in all
the States of the former Union. For
getting all past dissensions, and even
blotting out the still-existing resentment
of some Southern States against the
Yankees" their one aim and one
thought would have been: We must
again unite!
The very same thing would happen if
the Allies tore Germany into 20 parts.
Feeling of Unity Old.
The German feeling of national ,,ritv
is almost $50 years old. 1t began when
the German and Austrian tribes united
to drive out Napoleon's armies of occu-
patton after his Russian defeat.
Up to 1903, there existed more than
300 independent German states, most of
them, of course, miniature ones. Later,
some of these united into about 20
countries. Bismarck united these under
a hereditary president called "Kaiser."
This union consisted of about 20 king
dons, duchies and grand duchies, and
three free cities that were republics.
When, in November, 1918, this new
German Empire lost it's first war, the
Kaiser ran away, followed Immediately
by % princes. Overnight, the German
princedoms became republics which
united under new President and were
represented by Parliament, the Reich
stag.
This German republic consolidated
the German tribes even more firmly,
and Hitler's concentric government drew
them still closer together-without, how
