"A New Policy Toward Erunco's Spuin?

Although nothing specific was said about Spain in the report Of
the Big Three conference, the leak of Prime Minister Churchirs
rebuke to Franco for his proposal of an anti Soviet pact permits us TO
hope that a new policy toward Spain will soon be evident. If new proof
IS needed of the Spanish governments continued completely with the
Hitler regime, it is readily available in the recent outrageous broad
casts by Falange radio stations. With Zhukovs army threatening Ber-
lin and with Eisenhower ready to strike in the West, the valadolid
Soviet advance. They have now dug in in positions where they are
resisting while awaiting the hour of the counter attack" The broad
cast went on: General Frances Spain and Germany are the two
European countries that still have vital energies. The great con-
fldence in GoebbePs speeches is in keeping with military events. Ger
many is serene, aware of her own destiny; she is ready to save herself
and Europe" All this on February 4, l945! Being farther removed
from the front lines, Radio Valladoid spoke with greater optimism
than Radio Berlin. Americans may be inclined to laugh at this non
sense. But laughter at similar statements made by Hitler in 1888 has
already cost this country many thousands of American lives, and it
must not be forgotten that Franco Spain is an important factor in
Filters plan to continue the war even after military defeat.
Such a chance in policy would notably improve the United States
position at the Foreign Ministers Conference which will begin on Feb
ruary 81 in Mexico City. We know that various Latin American coun-
tries are preparing to introduce at this conference the question Of
severing relations with Franco. Those who demand a break are in
spred by two motives. One is the warm sympathy for the Spanish
Republican cause throughout the Latin countries Of the Western Hem
isphere. The other is the desire to rid America of the Falangst pest
Both sentiments were expressed with force by the Mexican Under
Secretary of the Interior, Senior Casas Aleman, when he addressed the
big Spanish Republican rally in the Arena Mexico on January 20 as
President Avna Camachos personal representative. His remarkable
speech, of which the American press took scant notice, appeared in full
tension of a kind of recognition to "the only Spain we love and res
pect" Nothing would place the United States delegation to the pan
American conference in a better position to overcome Latin Americas
enormous disrust of us than if Stettnius could appear there not as
FRANCOIS advocate but as the friend of Spanish democracy. - The

THE CRlMEAN CONFERENCE

AS W understand it, the recent conference between the "Bio
lhreeN on the shores of the Black Sea considered many questions but
ne n which has been emphasized most is what to do about Germany
after the nazis collapse.
however, what we are anxious to hear is whether the conferees
agreed upon a workable arrangement of the private profit system.
Just how do Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Stain agree to make the darn
thing work?
be1ore Tn war started the economy was a flop. There Were plenty
Of people IN America and in Europe who needed the products of human
labor Likewise, there were plenty of workers who were anxious to go
70 III and plenty of inactive machines standing around. But PROFIT
owners couldn't operate at a profit, 20 business stopped.
Have the Big Three thought of a way to cure that condition
When the waste Of war ends? Sure, there will be plenty of demand for
American goods in war-toIn Europe. Sure, American workers will be
looking 10 those 60 million jobs that MI. Roosevelt spoke about. But
a ire enterprise meet the demand for goods and jobs-at a profit?
We'd like Mr.. Roosevelts answer o n that, because we have n
of our own.
Our answer is that tie privileged class that always has levied
tribute against society will be able to keep on doing that very thing
IF business is regimented under the control of a state.
And IF labor is likewise regimented.
Put IN other words, ~ answer means that freedom will have to be
killed u order that the class society and profit economy may live.
But what a awful let-doWn that will be after a victory that vas
won for freedom and democracy!
And how much better it would be to let the profit systemd die and
preserve democracy instead in the Socialist way!

H MURDERERS

The conviction and punishment
OF those responsible for the suffer
ing of this war is not a matter Of
revenge but of justice.
There can be no doubt where
the demands of justice lie. There
are millions of people, more than
all the inhabitants of New York
Illinois and California together.
who have died as a result of the
war. There are in Europe 30O,-
100000 people - more than twice
the population of the United States
crying for justice.
The things that have happened
in the last five years will live for
a long time in the memory of all
people and SO will the policy of
the victors.
We + told to forgive those
who have injured us and to turn
the other cheek, but it must be
remembered that we have not
been told to forgive injustice to
others or to turn the cheek of
somebody else.
| believe that the punishment
should be extended far down the
line. 1t will not do merely to make
a handful Of martyrs.
All those in any way guilty Of
outrages should be punished SO
that in the future anyone in any
country tempted to take part in
such bestiality will feel that he is
putting a rope around his neck.
The fear of punishment will not
prevent men from taking the posi-
ton of leaders. There will always
be people ready to swap life for
glory, but it may make their re-
cruiting more difficult.
If this course involves some
cases of personal injustice, it must
involve them. 1t is better that half
a dozen innocent German sergeants
should hang today than that mil
lions of equally innocent people
should suffer in twenty-five years.

Rev. Michael MurYosip Buys Space

A friend send u a n interesting clipping from the Telegram of
Temple, Tex. When SeWell Avery, car of Montgomery Ward, was
thumbing his nose at Uncle Sam and most of the editors of the nation
were loudly applauding him, Rev. Michael Mar Yosip, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church and one of Temples leading citizens, de-
cded to express his opinion in such a way that no unfnendly editor
could dStort it or blue pencil it,
So, out If his own pocket he paid for about an eighth of a page in
the Telegram" and vigorously summarized the case against Mr..
Avery, saying:
THE leading newspapers of Texas have carried fuI-page ads by
Mr.. Avery of Montgomery Ward fame. Thus hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been spent to deceive the people of Texas and the nation
/ have paid for this add myself.
"One thing Mr.. Avery has not mentioned, which would destroy all
his other assertions, and that is that from the very first he has refused
TO cooperate with his government.
MIR. Ayers believes, and his acts prove it, that it is perfectly right
Tor the government to come to your home, and mine, and take our sons
and daughters, put them in a camp on a cot, march them in mud and
dust, send them to all corners of the earth, and if need be, sheed their
blood.
But this same government has not the right to call on Montgo-
merry Ward and other companies to work peacefully with labor unions
while this war is going on, s. W may win it and win a more lasting
peace"
While men like the Rev. MarYosip speak their minds in such forth
right fashion, the cause of old-fashioned Jeffersonian democracy will
not be lost in Dixie-Labor.

V-MAiL USE
1T FOR

Mail from home to the fighting
men is a military necessity, the
Office Of War Information says in
a fact book issued in cooperation
with the Adjutant Generals Of
flee of the Army and the Office of
Naval Communications of the
Navy.
Mail from home is more than a
fighting mans privilege, for there
is probably no factor so vital to
the fighting morale of a man as
frequent letters from home. Serv-
ice men themselves have said that
frequent letters from home, no
matter how short, are better no
rale builders than long, infrequent
letters, and that bright, cheerful
letters can give a lift as nothing
else can.
One of the great achievements
Of this global war is the speed with
which mail can be delivered to
American fighting men, wherever
they might be. However, the more
letters that are sent, the greater
demand for space on ships and
planes, just when cargo space is
becoming scarcer because of the
expanding European campaign
and the increasing combat areas
and the vast distances in the Paci-
fic.
The answer to the problem of
getting more letters in less space
is V-Mail, which permits the max
imum number of letters in the
minimum amount of space.
Use V-Mail as much as possible
when writing to that service man
overseas. Don't burden the trans
p~ortation lines with unnecessarily
long letters, spaced weeks apart,
when short letters written at fire.
quent intervals and sent V-Mail
will not only do just as we'll, but
even better.
