in THE WIND
From THE NATION

REPRIEVE: The August II bull
letin of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States had this to
say about the splitting of the
atom: with the knowledge that
this energy cannot at once be used
for purposes other than destruc-
ton, immediate jeopardy to our
economy is not in sight"
PUBLIC RELATIONS: Tide, an
advertising trade publication, re-
ported in it's issue of August 6 that
the National Association of Manu-
~facturers, (which abandoned it's
last advertising campaign after a
very short run, is considering a
new series on a different subject"
The old subject was Private Enter
prise. 1t vas dropped in February
of this year, after a storm of pro-
test from the public.
VISION: George Coppock of
Detroit made this suggestion in a
letter to the Windsor, Ontario,
Star on August 8: with proper or
g%anization and timing, from the
bones of the Conservative Party
and the futility of the Labor Party
the British Fascist Party can come
to power. "Britons, myriad voices
call thee, come be welded each
and all into one imperial whole"
There is no slogan for an imperial
Fascist Party, a force which can
save us from the night of commun-
ism. Conservatism is willing but
Intellectual. Hail to an imperial
Fascist Party! The stalwarts of the
empire salute your
DRAMA: Harriet Van Horne of
the New York World Telegram,
doing a post-mortem August 13 on
Clare Luce's appearance in Can
dida", reported that many rehear-
sails Wer held at Mrs. Luce's home.
Nov and then, despite good in
tentions all around, a political note
would creep in. Some of the actors
were said to have suffered slight
indigestion when the hostess-so
goes the story-expressed concern
over the fate of her old friend, M.
Pierre Laval. But generally, every
body, including Candida herself,
put up a gallant, non-partisan
front"
DETAIL: The Prague radio re-
ports that at his preliminary
questioning Karl Hermann Frank.
former Gauleiter of Bohemia and
Moravia, said Lidice was extermi-
mated without his knowledge or
consent. Another question was,
What do you know of the second
act of determination at Lezaky?'
He replied that he remembered
only vaguely After ALL" he said,
that was only a very small COM
munity.'"

FIVE TIMES AS MANY
KILLED AS I'M LAST WAR

Casualties in the U. S. armed
forces since the beginning of the
war totaled 1,049,1 04 on July 7,
an increase of 12,167 in the last
week covered by the report. Of
the total, 915,718 were army cas-
ualties and 1895 were navy and
Marines.
The army lost 1913, 500 killed
and the navy and Marines 40, 657,
a total of 243, 165. In the first
World War, a total of 53,497
Americans were killed.
In other words, nearly five
times as many Americans have
been killed so far in this war as
in the entire last war.

1t is true that the easiest way to
scare the German people is to tell
them that the Russians were going
to move in as occupation troops.
They are MORALLY afraid of them,
and with plenty of reason. In the
last days of the fighting l saw Rus
sian soldiers, who had been Ger
man prisoners until we liberated
them, take German civilians into
the woods with vegeance, and that
was the last trip-no returning for
the Germans. Next to the Russians
they fear the French. And the
American soldier is tops, which is
only natural since the town is oc-
cupied by them. They are not fool
hardy and quite conniving, using as
much flattery as possible in trying
to gain some favor and consider
alton. If the English soldiers were
here, most likely the English SOL
diers would then be tops. 1t is
pretty obvious we American sol
diers have a softer heart than those
of any other army. We are inclined
to be kinder and more considerate,
perhaps for the reason that we do
not have the memories the Rus
slams and Poles and Jugoslavs and
other German-subjugated peoples
have of the atrocities and suffer
ings committed upon their own
people back home. But, under the
circumstances, we are far too easy
with the Germans. We forget too
soon how they treated our men
when in their cruel hands, how
they lined them up and shot them
down without mercy, and the cold
blooded treatment our prisoners
got in the German concentration
camps -, and the death and sweat
and blood shed in winning our
battles. Yes, there is determination
with the German people now, es-
pecially with the frauleins, but
any of the G.I.'s, that saw their
buddies killed, mistreated, their
own kin tortured, cannot see this
determination with any pleasure.
About every second person one
meets in the small villages of
southern Germany are either from
Berlin or Vienna. This is the group
that got out before the Russians
moved in. Therefore every home
IN these small towns are just as
crowded as al be. And it is evil
dent that the hometoWners are re-
sentful in having others move in
on them, especially in sharing the
produce of their farms that sur
round each small village.
On this side of the Rhine the
Germans learned quickly to use
the white flag. AS we would move
into a town all the windows were
hung with white-from hankies to
bed shetts. 1t made quite a sight
as you looked down the streets
and that was a good sight, to be
sure. From here on, the main OBJ
Jectlve of the Germans was blow
ing out bridges to slow our adj
vance, but our engineers were

right there to overcome any OBJ
stacle and we never were held UP
very long.
What surprised me greatly was
the concentration of the tremen-
dous amount of cavalry and me-
chanical equipment that the Ger
mans withdrew into the mountains
of Austria. Our air-corps and tank
ers lined many a road with burn
ed-up German vehicles, guns and
equipment, but just outside of
Kaiserlautern was the greatest
slaughter Of all. A German con-
VOy of mechanical and horse
drawn vehicles, seven miles long,
racing bumper to bumper to get
ros the Rhein, was caught by
our air-corps and cut to smittern.
| passed along this way twice, the
first time it was still burning as
fiercely and with so much explod-
ing of ammunition that we had to
wait some time for it to cool down.
l didn't think it possible for the
Germans to have much equipment
left until | saw the surrendered
German army coming out of
Czechoslovakia and passing through
Vocklabruk. And again while in
M~auterndOrf, Austria, where l saw
the Equipment the Germans had up
IN the mountains, and that of their
army withdrawing from Italy.
They sure had a lot of stuff left to
throw at US! = and it was a good
feeling to know that we didn't
have to sweat it out any more. In
addition to this, there was all the
arms and equipment knocked out
or tied-up in the railroad yards.
In the mountains of Austria, the
German army'S mechanical equip
ment was simply abandoned along
the roads and in the villages.
Where convenient, as in the towns,
u army rounded it up into motor
pools, but in the mountain where
it blocked the hi-way, our tankers
rammed it over the cliffs. The
mountains are still full of horses
turned loose, and every farmer has
plenty of them, too. Now, back at
u battalion, we have a fine Sc
lection of riding horses, and we've
given them the name of Thunder
ing Third. Some of them are the
best the German army had for
their officers, and it was a pleas
ure to make those "~supermen" give
up their mounts when coming
through Mauterndorf out of Italy.
Afterwards, we used them for
riding the mountain trails - and
you can imagine what fun we in
fantrymen had riding instead of
walking for a change even though
1t was the toughest riding l ever
had. We cut through the woods to
get from one path to another, and
the country was mighty steep.
We'd lead u horses where the
cliffs fell right straight down, and
my horse, Blackie, would follow
directly in my footsteps. 1t makes
me laugh when I think of how |
would walk off the side of a path

HUMAN LABOR A SURPLUS COMMODITY
BY RAYMOND HOFsEs, Editor, Reading Labor Advocate

Having gone along with the cap
italist system until the end of war
again has made human labor a sur
plus commodity. Americas work.
ers have no reason to be surprised
that the pattern of ''reconversion"
is being cut to fit the needs and
desires of the profit-taking class.
That is what Socialists predicted
would happen and now it is hap
pening. So what? We have CAPT.
talism. We believe in private
profit. W. give our political rep
resentatiVeS a mandate to go ahead
and make capitalism work. We
get what we have sense enough
to ask for and nothing more.
We invite careful attention to
the steps that already have been
taken and those that still must be
taken to enable and assist the own
ers of America to operate.
The very fact that wartime con-
trolls over labor are being lifted
so promptly is, in itself, a sure
sign that private business in gen.
eral and big business in particular
is going to get the go-ahead sig
nal. 1t is also a sign that the gov
eminent is to be used merely to
balance and stabilize the totering
economy when capitalism has hit
its normal level of peacetifne en-
ployment.
The unfreezing of labor and the
planned bulge in wage controls
are fastened, not to give workers
a larger portion of freedom-be-
cause to many thousands of work
ers real freedom already appears
as that hateful thing called unem-
ployment.
The real reason for this hasty
return to free" enterprise is that
the owner-employer class again
holds all the trump and can pIav
the game with labor without the
slightest fear of losing.

itv in Imperial county told Demo-

and guests at dinner meeting in

statement on the assertion that
most of them are interned at Tule
Lake camp.
Every effort has. been made to
segregate the disloyal from the loyal
japanese aliens and Japanese-Amer-
icans," Hartney said. "The japanese
interned in the 10 WRA camps in
the United States have been screen
ed carefully to weed out the dis
loyal. Several agencies have been
engaged in this task"
He explained that all Japanese
who were in Imperial Valley at the
time Pearl Harbor was attacked,
2400, will not return even if they
all wanted to establish themselves
in the valley again. Some of them
are in the armed forces. some of
them have died, some are interned
at Tule Lake, and others have es-
tabliShed themselves in other parts
