Resignation of James F. Byrnes as
Mobilization Director was not unexpect-
ed. 1t was known that Mr.. Byrnes wanted
to leave his post shortly after the Novem-
ber election, but was persuaded to re-
main on the job. His office carried heavy
responsibilities. standing as a buffer be-
tween the administration and the public
and involving a sort of overall super
vision of numerous federal agencies. To
his credit it may be said that Mr.. Byrnes
performed his task conscientiously and
impartially. That he made some mistakes
he himself probably will freely confess.
On the whole, however, he has proved
strong right arm to the chief executive in
the complex role of assistant Presi-
dent"
Judge Vinson, who will assume the
mobilization post upon his confirmation,
seems to be the logical successor. He is
familiar with the policies of his predeces-
sor and the administration and probably
will proceed along the lines established

ARGENTINA AND
RIPENING FRUIT

(RiverSide Daily Press)
Cartoonist Dorman H. Smith today
cleverly pictures the reaction that has
come to the people of the United Nations
over the recent action by which Argen-
tina aligned herself against the Axis
powers.
During this week the United States is
expected to extend formal recognition to
the present government of Argentina.
Negotiations to that end have taken place
between this country and the other Amer
ican republics. Last week Argentina
formally declared war on Germany and
Japan, and hence became one of the
United Nations. Recognition of Argentina
would mark another turning point in the
policy of the United States on recogni-
ton.
Secretary of State Thomas jefferson
initiated our traditional policy of recog-
nizing any government acceptable to its
people, however it was created. The
United States notably departed from that
principle in two eras. During the Civil
war; in Latin America, Secretary of
State Steward withheld recognition be-
cause of the way certain governments
had come to power. And during and after
World War |, in the cases of Mexico and
Soviet Russia, moral judgments were in
voked for a policy of non-recognition.
Now, as in the case of Manchukuo after
1881, recognition is being used as a polit-
ical weapon to support certain interna-
tional principles. And in the case of Ar
gentina and other Latin American states
the United States policy is now being
evolved in consultation with the other
American republics

Germany Presents
ShambIes as
Allies Drive on
BY JACK FLEISCHER

FRANKFORT on THE MAIN
/ April g. CUP)-Germany has had il
Nobody who hasn't seen the dev-
astated ;illageS, towns and cities
and the Nretched Germans remain
! ing among the rubble of American
occupied territory can fathom the
condition of Germany.
Realizing full we'll how Germany
rebounded after the last war to
threaten the entire worlds security
/ 81 years later. and recognizing the
Germans traditional industry, I still
am willing to predict that Germany
is finished as a nation tcr decades
to come.
When I saw Aaachen and sur
/ rounding places last winter. !
thought maybe that was an extreme
and exceptional picture of destruc-
ton. But now I've seen Germany
| from Trier through the Moselle val
! ley and the Saar Basin, and across
the Rhine through Darmstadt and
! Frankfurt.
Germany is a complete wreck from
bombing-even without the devas-
! tation that goes with the battle for
big cities.
| If the Germans quit today, or if
they had quit a few weeks ago, they
still would have had thousands of
relatively unscathed small towns
and villages.
But with Hitlers completely mad
/ uyha
every German knows the game is up,
it means even the picturesque non-
industrial and militarily-unimpor-
tant places are being smashed as the
Allies drive relentlessly on.
It's difficult to be objective about
Germany and the Germans when
you're an American and when you
daily are with American soldiers
fighting to smash the enemy, but
viewing the present condition OF
Germany effectively any observer
must be appalled, by the indeScrib-
able destruction.
Before and even during the war 1t
was big story in America when the
Mississippi floods or the eastern
SSdDOdIu llldQOCS WlOuSiit oS'SA GA
million dollars in damage.
But no one but an astronomer and
slice rule expert could calculate
the millions Of dollars of damage
done to Germany.
An American might get an idea
of conditions in Germany if he
could visualize Pittsburgh, Chicago.
Milwaukee and hundreds of other
industrial cities, plus New York and
Washington, in ruins.
If he added to this fantiStic i'm
aginary picture the destruction and
complete chaos of virtually every
railroad in the United States; witch
normal motor transport reduced to
about one-tenth: no water. electric
itv, gas. street car or bus service.
he food ratiors reduced to about
one-tenth. he might have an idea
of what Germany is like these days.
The German civilians cannot be
written off as impotent but in the
modern world it's going to take
lot more than the traditional Ger
man thrift and industry to bring
oack this shattered country.
