1t is not that there is any
great change because of the
elimination of these two mad
men. The strangest thing about
them is that they are so little
missed. Had their deaths oc-
CURED five or six years ago it is
possible that millions of lives
of young men of many countries
might have been saved. 1t is
possible that the peoples of the
world would have been saved
misery, suffering, mourning and
anguish. The most impressive
feature of their passing is proof
of their unimportance. Only a
sign of relief greets announce
ment that the world is rid of
two of history's two greatest
international criminals.
There are doubts regarding
the actual death of Hitler. There
are misgivings regarding the
effort to make a martyr of him.
This phase of Hitler's end will
have to be dealt with in the most
understanding manner. 1t is
probably fortunate that history
viii identify Hitler with the COL

of the German dream of world

In Italy the name of Musso-

And the Allied Military Gov
eminent has a great and i'm

been a long and costly campaign.
Winning the peace and re-estab-

means that our supervision will
have to win confidence and re-

severity to smother out any at

Russia's attitude naturally
gives US some cause for alarm.
Commissar Molotov is an astute
and forceful diplomat. Yet we
must be patient and tolerant of
the Russian attitude. We do not
for a moment question the sin

securing the ideals for which the
