Free Enterprise the Answer

When the United States entered World War II, Germany gloried in her be- lief in the invincibility of her air power. And at first it did look like an almost impossible task to overcome German air superiority.
 But Americans are not easily discour- aged We immediately planned airplane production to outstrip Germany. The air superiority which we built might not have been so spectacular, however, if it had not been for our oil industry which smashed record after record, not only in production, but in development of types of gasoline that give our planes power and speed which, in the hands of an air force beyond compare, Germany could not match
 Last year we heard of 100-octane gaso- line in terms of billions of gallons, the achievement of individual companies. More aviation gas was produced in 1914 alone than the entire production of all grades of gasoline during the entire pe- riod of our participation in the last war.
 The German air force was wiped out. The American oil industry which pro- duced the new kind of fuel to power the new types of planes more efficiently, was an agency of destruction the Germans lad not reckoned with. And Japan will learn to her sorrow the meaning of Am erican gasoline and plane production when in the hands of courageous men, their volume literally obliterates the ris- ing sun.

What Government for Germany?

The Germans are unsuited and op- posed to democracy, says Pastor Martin Niemoeller. ''The greatest shortcoming of the Weimar Republic" he explains, "was that it never could impose auth ority on the German people, which longed for such authority"
 Pastor NiemOeller knows what he is talking about. And history bears him out. Germany's brief and restless inter- Jude of democracy found most of the people backing one or another faction seeking absolute power. Few wanted the Sickly republic, or defended it. They'd probably do as badly again. So what will be Germanys future government? There isn't much choice. Perhaps a commun- ist dictatorship or, as former Ambassador James Girard suggests, a BritiSh-type monarchy. The latter would impose on the Germans the onerous responsibility of parliamentary self-government. It might work, though, by giving them figurehead of authority and a certain amount of pomp which, as Mir Girard points out, might counteract their for mer adulation of the military.
 But such an arrangement would scarcely please Russia any more than a c0mmunistic Germany would please Britain. Whatever the solution, it will inevitably be preceded by more head aches for the conquering Allies who, without any desire to coddle or please the Germans, must seek for them a govern nent that will provide a minimum of unrest and potential trouble which would upset further the peace of Europe and the world.

village, and as he measured his work against that of the great mas- ter painter, he realized that he had much of which to be proud Allegri looked upon the work of Raphael and said quietly. T too am painter
 It was the fine and satisfying conclusion of one who had worked sincerely and who realized, when he came in contact with a great paint ing. that his care and hard work had been worth while. His days of discipline had not been in vain. Often, perhaps. he had sighed and inwardly-if not outwardly-pro- tested the humdrum monotony of it all. But as he looked at the work of Raphael he realized that tech- nique and artistic effect such as these were purchased at the cost of infinite patience. Then did he sec of the travail of weary hours and was satisfied.

There is considerable argument at the moment as to how many women will give up their war time jobs; that is to say, gainful jobs. It is safe to say consider able proportion will, and are now doing that thing. This will be the case es- pecially with the housewife who, though glad of the change to do worthwhile work in the factory, is now eager to get back to her regular job of house. keeping. Those who went to our fac toreis hereabouts from other jobs will be slower to make adjustments again. Today's labor force is dwindling some what, but it will be some time before the industrial ranks are reduced in any spectacular fashion.

to many of the deiegates, it does not seem a day less than $500 years. In fact, some of the wages say that you measure the age of delegate and the length of time he has been in San Francisco in exactly the same way you measure the age of one of the big trees - by counting the rings.
 There's a circle and a wrinkle in the bags under the eyes for every week spent in San Francisco.
 Still another idea is that confer ence time should be told in the same way they measure the age of Mt Shasta, which was once an active volcano erupting molten lava all over Northern California, or of Fl Capitan, Half Dome, or Cloud Rest, the mile-high promontories of gran ite which were carved out by the glaciers here in the Yosemite back in the ice age some six million years ago.
 The eruptions of oratory, the mountains of ice cubes that have melted and poured out over this landscape in the past seven weeks have made it seem longer than the seven days of creation.
 The human rights provisions are definitely Neanderthal in their con- cept of culture and education The voting formula is highly volatile and therefore early carboniferous. The ideas on trusteeship, independence and self-government were carved whole out of the Pleistocene. The small nations have feeling they have been pushed back into the Miocene under the Russian foreign policy which is unquestionably gla- cial - large masses of ice moving down from the Polar cap to shift land masses and boundaries about like so many terminal moraines. ANYTHING TO ESCAPE
 CONFERENCE
 As a matter of fact it may take geologist to pry some of the secrets out of the silent rock strata into which the committees and commits sions of this conference have been divided. No wonder the delegates flock to the Yosemite to get new perspectives. Trying to reconstruct thebody and breathe the breath of life into the fossilized handouts of progress in drafting the United Ma tlons Charter is just too much
 Though 1t was announced at the outset that the writing of this char ter might take two months or more, only half that time had passed be- fore the conference news was off the first page of the newspapers, driven back inside by news of wars and rumors of wars still to come.
 Today the conference is rating only third or half column in most papers, nothing at all in others. NO SEX APPEALING GAGS
 The sad truth is that nobody sems to give damn about peace. Too dull, no sex appeal. No gags. Phony. Phooey.
 When General Omar Bradley do- ing the "Pocatello Polka" on Broad way, and Hollywood rooster with yen to be hen rate more space than conference which is to cre- ate new world organization that will theoretically maintain peace and security by ending wars, some thing is wrong.
 Maybe what the conference needs Is a good press agent. The show is dead. Something will have to pass miracle. President Truman's sched- uled appearance for the final cur tam may do lot to save the per- formance but the play needs some thing more than that - new stars. new lines, peter lighting, fewer blackouts of secrecy. less action be- hlnd the scenes, more action on stage - it it is to be popular hit.

 Prime Minister Stalin met with President Roosevelt and Churchill at Teheran for war-planning con- ference, the Russians poured over the old Polish border on their counter offensive, and then in vaded Romania in great southern drive that kept the Germans of balance.
 By the spring of 1944, the Red Army had captured Odessa in the drive against the Crimea. captured Savastopol, and had ended all Ger man offensives in Russia, Poland and the Crimea.

The war in the east was battle Armies, vast distances, and light ming sweeps. There they fought the battle of Stalingrad, one of the decisive battles of the world where Adolf Hitler's fortunes reached their high-Water mark.
 Cities Stood Fast
 There, after Hitler signed his death warrant on the June morn ing when his gray-clad legions surged into Russia, the cities of Moscow and Leningrad stood and fought and won, and helped to set the Allies on the road to victory.
 Germany, Italy and Romania declared war on Russia in June, 1941. German troops crossed the old Russian border on the first sweep of the long march that was to lead them to the very gates of Moscow and which drove the Rus sians back 800 miles to Stalingrad before the Red Army was able to mount a counter attack.
 Huge forces of well-trained, WGA-eQulpptO ioNHoAoll otOOf'' struck back savagely in the autumn of 1922.
 Red columns struck from both north and south to outf1ank the German 9th Army before and within Stalingrad. Other Red Army troops swung around the invaders on the plains and in the Caucasus, putting steel clamps about the en- circled foe.
 Start March Back
 Stalingrad was saved and the Germans lost the major part of P divisions which had comprised the attacking forces in that sector.
 Other Soviet armies had opened another offensive from Voronezh while up before Moscow, other Req offensive completed the counter move that set the Germans back on a 1O00-mile front
 Russian spring thaWs by this time had called a halt to any at tempts at mobile warfare and both sides spent the intervening time in preparing for the gigantic blows that were to follow, but the Ger mans were now on the defensive and the Russians had blocked the bset efforts of the invader. Throughout 1943 and 1914 the Russians fought a terrible battle
