This Changing World
By Constantine Broom

Unless the Allies decide to release
the armistice terms imposed on Italy
in 1913, an unpleasant and explosive
situation may develop in the Mediter-
ranean and Adriatic areas in the near
future. The warnings of such a po-
tential storm are already to be seen
in little publicized incident regarding
the liberation of Istria.
Last week the Yugoslav general staff
released stern official protest against
the British Army which announced that
Trieste and Gorilla had been liberated
and occupied by New Zealand divi-
sion. The Yugoslay chief of staff de-
MED the truth of Field Marshal Sir
Harold Alexander's report, maintaining
that there was not single enemy
soldier left in Trieste, Gorilla and
other portions Of that Italian area
when the British arrived.
The Germans and the Croatian Gus
tachis had been annihilated by the
Yugoslav forces several days earlier,
according to Marshal Tito's spokesman.
The communique of the Yugoslav gen.
eral staff ended with the significant
statement that Allied forces had en-
tered these towns without Marshal
Tito's consent, and added that this
incident" might entail undesired con-
sequences if it failed to be settled to
the satisfaction Of both sides.
The Tito government in Belgrade is
adamant concerning the annexation
of Istria to Yugoslavia The italians
expect to keep it for themselves and
the British are anxious to support them
because of the military and economic
importance of the ports claimed by the
Tito government.
No one knows as yet who is right in
this matter. According to diplomatic
accounts, this question was discussed
at the first meeting of the Big Three
at Teheran in December, 1913, but
nothing definite was decided 1t was
understood, however, that Yugoslavia
might be given some portions of the
former Italia Irridenta as compensa-
ton for its participation in the war.
This was contrary to the provisions
OF the Atlantic Charter, which required
that any territorial changes should be
made through plebiscite in order to
ascertain the wishes of the populations
involved. But the question of holding
plebiscites in that area was still far
off at that time and it is believed that
the matter was left in allegiance.
Until the full terms of Italy's sur
render are made public, it is difficult to
know whether the armistice dealt with
this problem and whether the Italians
had then been compelled to give up
that section of the shores of the
Adriatic. Istria was coded to Italy after
the World War from the former Aus
TRAN Empire not only as a price for
the Italians role with the Allies, but
also because it was recognized that

news by American and British CORE
spondents from the joint zone (Berlin)
and whether they will permit such cor
respondents to enter their own zone,
or proceed into areas where Russian
political influence is predominant, such
as Poland and CZechoslovakia.
From the point of view of the smooth
working of the international machinery
being set up here in San Francisco and
elsewhere, the Russians could hardly
do better for themselves and for the
common good than to announce that
in view of the termination of major
military operations in Europe, they
have no further objection on the ground
of security to the free entry of British
and American newsmen into any part
of occupied Germany, and to withdraw
such objections as they have previously
made to similar entry of newsmen into
Poland, Czechoslovakia, ETC. This would

their Western Allies than almost any

But it is only one of many problems

up of war criminals will be one such
problem: Another will be the return to
their homes of the millions of slave
workers and prisoners of war now in
Germany: Another will be the establish
ment of local governments and admins

return to normal life, insofar as normal

devastation. Some means must be
found to get the Germans themselves
back to work, first OF all to provide
the basic human needs Of food and
shelter.
While all this is going on there must
be law and order. Germans who are
cooperating with the CCC authori-
ties must be protected against violence;
Shippers and saboteurs must, of course,
be dealt with, and SO must men who are
made desperate by hunger and may
become mere bandits, robbing and kill
ing as means of livelihood The roots
OF Naziism must be dug up and de-
stroyed wherever they are found. Care
must be taken that the German gen.
eral staff does not emerge as the great
unifying force in Germany, the rock
which has stood against the storms.
The laboratories and the archives must
be seized so that study may be given
to the technical progress which the
Germans have made in developing new
means Of warfare.
These are but few of the tasks
which confront Immediately the oc-
cupying powers in Germany.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE i'm
mediate military problem in Germany
is one of cleaning up the mess.
First of all, the Central Control Com
mission. representing the four occupy
ing powers, must be established and
begin to function. 1t has been pre-
sumed that it will operate from Berlin,
but reports of the utter devastation of
that city leave some doubt as to wheth-
er Berlin will prove suitable place for
the commissions headquarters.
The powers of the CCC must be de-
fined by agreement of the four powers,
and the machinery for its operation
set up. The European Advisory Com
mission has done a great deal Of pre-
liminary work along this line. Plans
have been made for various agencies,
covering every phase OF the task OF
governing Germany; these agencies will
in some respects resemble cabinet de-
partments. There probably will be a
central co-ordinating agency subordi-
nate to the CCC. 1t should be remem-
bered that the members of the CCC will
be military men-General of the Army
Eisenhower for the United States, Field
Marshal Sir Harold Alexander Cor pos
sibly Field Marshal Sir Bernard Mont
gomery) for Britain, and French and
Russian member yet to be named, but
probably of comparable military status.
The co-ordinating agency working dl-
rectly under the CCC will be its ci-
villain link with the cabinet depart
ments" or executive agency which carry
on the duties of police, public health,
transportation, agriculture and other
necessary government divisions.
The four zones of occupation must
also be carefully defined. and their ex-
act limits established. In general, the
Russians will occupy East Germany,
the British the northwest, the Ameri-
cans the southwest and the French will
have a zone somewhere between the
British and American zones, though
probably not so extensive as to inter-
rupt contact between the British and
Americans. Berlin Is supposed to be
a zone of joint occupation; the details
of the arrangements under which this
Joint occupation will be established
have not vet been announced.
It is obvious that in the course of
setting up this Allied control of Ger
many. there will be many questions to
be discussed by the representatives Of
the four powers which will test the
ability of both military and civilian
leaders and officials to get along with
each other, and to work out unified
plan for what is still the greatest OF
European problems: What to do about
Germany.
The most important of these tests
Will surely be whether the Russians will

From the St. Louis StarTimes.
The myth of the vanishing Red Man
is thoroughly exploded by what is hap
pening on the Navajo reservation in
Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. From
population of 10000 in 1868, the tribe
has grown to $4,000.
This growth poses problem in adj
ministration of Indian affairs, for the
Navajos are taxing the resources of the
$4,000 square miles of butte-studded
desert that is their domain. Except for
10000 acres that are irrigated, the land
is good for little but the grazing of
sheep and there is sustenance for only
about eight sheep to a person. The per
capita income from sheep raising on
that scale is pitifully small.
To borrow a word from the prewar
propaganda of Nazi Germany, the
Navajo is in need Of q little more

Mother VS.. Club Women

To the Editor of The Star:
May I write something, please, re-
garding an article in your May issue
headed: Woman at House Hearing Say
Their Place Is in the Home?
I notice that the club women de-
Bselared In the House District Committee
hearing that this should be the existing
condition. But I wonder if those club
women have ever found it necessary
to earn a living. I wonder how many
of them do all of their own housework
and laundry. I wonder who they really
think they are to pass judgment as
they did. Can it ever have entered
their narrow-minded heads that they
can do harm by such an attitude?
have had to work away from home
for years and knowing the old-fashioned
idea that womans place is in the
home, have watched my own children
and those of other working mothers,
comparing them with the young people
whose mothers remain at home.
And have been congratulated many
times on the upbringing of my own
children.
One fact, however, which has been
very noticeable is that a woman who
is a good mother rears well-behaved
children whether she is at home or in
an Office or factory through the day
If she lacks the particular traits which
enable her to guide her children we'll,
they do not go straight even though
she remains at home
I did not work until I was left as a
widow. I had been an ardent PTA
member, having held Office as president
and health, publicity, pre-school clinic
and other chairmanships. Then the
bottom fell out of my life and I found
myself unprepared to make living
in business Office A woman may
feel she has gained a great deal of
experience and knowledge from home
and social life, but she soon learns
that without specialized training, she
is of no value in the business world
I had to make living the hard way
Slowly-because I was too tired,
studied at night school. 1t was long,
hard road up to the good position I
now hold. After I became better

clared that 7 was widow, I was in
formed that it was a ruling made by
the head Offices, and the fact that I
was the sole support of my children

feel like saying: "You narrow minded
club women, who are you to say that
womans place is in the home? You
do not expect all of your husbands to
be only farmers, doctors, lawyers,
clerks or ditch diggers. What do you
know of the necessity of a married
woman's working away from home?
What do you know of the pride family
feels in the mothers success along with
the fathers in the business world?
What do you know of the inspiration
and vision mothers success in the
business world can give to her chill
dren? Possibly you know of the many
Maynard children of mothers employed
during this war, but have you ever
studied those mothers enough to under
stand that they wouldn't have kept
their children straight under any con-
ditions? And, finally, do you realize
that there publicity isn't given to the
children who are we'll behaved? You
| probably seldom hear about those homes
where everything is going well. 1t is
the failures which gain notoriety"

son with handicap" She told of
her work in aiding the blind to

In one case Miss Lovett visited
a man who had not moved from his
chair since he had become blind.
The first thing Miss Lovett does in
such cases is to present the blind
person with white cane, made pos
sible by the Wilmington Lions
club. Upon leading the blind man
from his front porch to the center
of his yard, she left him, telling
him that he was capable to get back
to his porch without her aid. Dub
iously, the man complained, and
told her that he would be unable
to do so without the aid of a per-

him, "for I am just as blind as
