(other than sending Soviet Communists
to China to aid in organization of the gov
ernment).
Sending more war materials to China
than the United States ever sent in lend
lease over the Burma road carefully
ignoring the tremendous tonnage flown to
China from India);
The natural outlet for Chinese postwar
trade rather than the shipping link with
the United States and Britain.
The multitudinous record in history of
how Russia has clipped huge territories
and resources from China goes unmen-
toned.
Neither the baltimore book, nor other
"orientation" material, tells our American
troops:
THAT THE SOVIET UNION, AL
THOUGH STALLING UNTIL THE
VERY LAST MOMENT BEFORE DE-
CLARING WAR AGAINST JAPAN, is
IN THERE WITH GARGANTUAN TER
RITORIAL DEMANDS IN THE PACIFIC
AND is ALREADY STIRRING UP
STRIFE BETWEEN THE CHIMES f
COhJMI yNfISTS AND THE CHANG KAI-
SHEK GOVERNMENT.
Included in the footage borrowed from
the Communist party line, the volume pic
lures:
The Chinese middle class as land
lord" type, living only to collect rents and
tax tribute from the oppressed" peas
ants and workers;
The first World War as a result of the
lining up of the great powers for the saw
age battle over colonies, markets and in
vestments;
Chinese in the United States being
"held back by race prejudice;
The virtues of industrial co-operatives ;
Postwar China turning to state owner
ship in the heavy industries, public utili-
ties and banking.
DERHAPS one of the most impudent
Il theological passages in this "orienta-
ton" volume is the placing of responsible
ity on the shoulders of other powers,
including the United States, for the whole
sale murders, terrorism and annihilation
of the property-owning class conducted
by the Communists in the USSR.
The authors assert:
1T is time for the rest OF us to admit
something which is as important for us as
il is for the Russians, that many of the
harsh and cruel aspects of the Soviet order
are in fact scars inflicted on it in it's youth
by the intolerable and active hostility
against which it had to struggle to sur
yive.
"For this part Of the environment Of
the early years of Soviet history it was
the rest of the world that was respon-

TON Uhich in themselves are not
economically sound.

the election by MEN NOW HOLD

"For example, Sir Stafford
Cripps' suggestion that govern.
nent of the left is more likely to
GET ON WITH RUSSIA -.
From this sort of thing, and the
more recent utterances of Prof.
Laski, it might be assumed in Amer
ica that Great Britain is determined
to ENTER THE RUSSIAN ORBIT
and is keener to foment left-wing
governments abroad than to play an
objective role in Dorld affairs, or
.eUen to promote her oUn security"
Obviously, the cold dawn of reali-
zation and appraisal has come to
socialistic Britain.
THE American people, as Capt.
Gammans implies, are we'll aware
that socialism and naturalization in
Britain today are the projects of men
and groups intending ultimate COM
MUNIZATION.
There is no legitimate American
concern in that, if it is Britain's
choice.
But the American people want no
part of it for THEMSELVES.
They particularly want no part of
paying the BILL for it.
The current socialization of Brit
ain and the ultimate communication
are strictly Britain's own business.
But let the British pay the bill
for it, or lacking the means to do SO,
let them LOOK TO MOSCOW.
Birds Of a feather should flock
together.
Detroit evening times., 1945-10-08

A DISTINGUISHED member of
Parliament, Capt. L. D. Gam
mans, has written in the London
Daily Mail that there are two sober
FACTS Britain must face.
One of these facts, he observes,
Is that in order to have sound post
war economy Britain must gain a
leading position in world trade and
that CIT IS WITH AMERICA
THAT WE HAVE TO COMPETE
in the neutral markets of the world"
The other of the basic facts he
cites is that accomplishment of this
essential purpose is solely con-
ditioned upon the success of Britain
in negotiating "SOME FINANCIAL
AGREEMENT WITH THE U. S. A.
to tide us over until our export trade
can be re established"
THIS presents a novel situation.
although Capt. Gammans does
not particularly concern himself
with il.
In his recitation of facts" he
does not comment upon the rather
amazing conflict between them-the
element of conflict being in a situa-
ton where the COMPETITOR TO
BE OVERCOME is assigned the role
of FINANCIAL BACKER of the
process.
But what he does comment upon
most frankly and realistically, and
with apprehension, is the possibility
that the new program of socialistic
naturalization in Britain may make
America wary Of the role assigned
TO her.
BE recognizes and emphasizes
that Britain s vital task IS TO GET
AMERICAN FINANCIAL SUP
PORT.
HAS the adssnt OF labor gou-
eminent made that task easier or
OTHERWISE2" he wonders.

tory our country emerges as
the only truly great and power
ful nation in the entire world.
The war made demands upon
us. for ourselves and for our
Allies. which we met by an or
organization and production
that cannot be adequately de-
scrlhed.
This has given us power on
the sea greater than all the
combined naval power in the
rest Of the world.
II has given us power in air
warfare and i'm air transport
that has no rival.
II has given us armieS-the
hest trained. the best armed.
the best led that history has
ever seen.
Behind this panoply Of war
power there lies the economic
power of the nation itself.
Our natural resources are
still large.
We have enormous vigor,
which the war has increased and
not depleted.
Our industrial organization
and trained manpower give us
the greatest productive capac-
ity we have ever had.
THERE are those among us
Il who express fear that we
have too much power.
They seem to believe that we
should relinquish this power 10
others. distribute it generally
over THE world, IN order that all
nations may share in IT.
There are some who believe
that to possess power is itself
wrong.

is an evil thing if it is evilly
used.
But if it is used beneficially,
conscientiously, and wisely, it is
the basis of expanding life.
Power is the only thing that
can preserve the peace which.
in many places, is still un-
certain.
Power is the only thing that
can protect the weak from
cruelty.
Power is the only thing that
can preserve and enlarge the
possibility of creating a better
moral order.
America today has this power.
THE American generation 10
Il which this writer belongs
has fought and won three inter-
national wars.
In these crises our spirit
moved through three successive
phases of war and its conse-
quenceS.
The first phase accompanied
the period of actual conflict.
In this, in all three wars, we
did well.
We met war with courage;
we never doubted our ability TO
finish 1t in victory; we never
stinted the supply of men and
means 10 bring it to successful
conclusion.
During the period of actual
conflict and sacrifice. we may
say that our nation behaves
well
The second phase inevitably
opens with the achievement of
victory. Instantly, we become
nervous, tlmid, irreSolute. We
are aSsailed by doubts as 10
whether We have really won
anything, and whether we have
even gained safety for our
selves.
Voices rise seeking TO per-
suade us that our enemies still
persist and still are TO be
dreaded; that after certain
period we will find these fallen
foes again with arms in their
hands and warfare in their
hearts.
The outcome Of The first
World War proved that this
could happen. but / am con-
vinced that it happened only
because we destroyed our own
power and refused response
bility for preventing evil.
We are in the second phase
Of emotion right now-Hhe ilt-

3,OOO,OOOth Soldier
Released as Senate
Continues Criticism

Discharge of the 5000, ,OOOth
member of the Army since the end
of the war in Europe was reported
by the War Department today as
members of Congress continued
their criticism of Army and Navy
demobilization.
AT the same time the Army pre-
dicted the release of $4,000 doctors
by January.
The Secretary of Wars office was
accused by Senator Reed, Republi-
can, of Kansas, yesterday Of at
tempting to give me the run
around" in his efforts to speed up
the return of Army physicians and
dentists to civilian life.
Speed-Up Demanded.
Senator Reed, in Senate speech,
accused the War Department of a
"bald-faced attempt to gloss over
an unsayory situation" in connec-
ton with the number of dentists at
Fort Riley, Kans.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana, and half a dozen other
Senators, suggested that Congress
should take some steps to speed up
rehabilitation.
"The admirals and generals tell
us everything is going smoothly but
these boys stuck in the Pacific,
China and Europe are not satisfied
by such explanations" Senator
Wheeler charged.
Maj. Gen. Willard S. Paul, new
Army chief of personnel, had told
the Senate Naval Affairs Commit
tee earlier that demobilization is
going ahead in an orderly fashion
and the biggest help Congress could
give would be to refrain from apply
ing pressure to speed the discharge
Of individuals or small groups.
Doctors Release Forecast.
Release of $4,000 Army doctors
by January was forecast by Maj.
Gen. George F. Lull, deputy sur
geon general of the Army, in a
statement issued to the seth annual
meeting of the Southern Medical
Association at Cincinnati last night.
He said nurses and dentists are
being released at the rate of 1000 a
week.
Gen. Lull said an effort is being
made to give discharge preference

help with such work as kitchen

Commenting on complaints by Pa
cific veterans returning aboard the

men every Navy ship has working
parties. to handle such duties, but
when ships carry an overload OF
passengers there are not enough
crew members to handle all tasks.

to Army doctors needed In their
own communities or whose families
are facing hardship.
Gen. Lull outlined plan for
postwar organization of the Army
Medical Department under which
the base pay Of every Army doctor
would be increased Is per cent
over the present rates, an additional
Is per cent increase in base pay
would be provided for specialists
certified by q special board and pro-
motions would be quicker.
The plan, which he said was
drafted by Surgeon Gen. Norman
T. Kirk and submitted to the War

Department for approval, was de-
signed to attract individuals "of
the type qualified to provide the best
in medical care" the statement
from Gen. Lull explained.
Speedup In rehabilitation of con-
scientious objectors also was forecast
today following the announcement
by selective service that conscien-
tious objectors who have been in
public service camps for four years
or more, regardless OF age, will be
discharged soon.
The agency reported that all OBJ
jectors aged SO or older who were
assigned to work OF national i'm
Evening star., 1945-11-15

portance have been released and
those with two or more years Of
service who are IS or older currently
are being processed for release.
In announcing discharge OF the
5000, ,000th member OF the Army, the
War Department gave this recapit-
ulation Of Army discharges by
months: May, 5000; June, 166, 1000;
July. $4,000; August, 205, 900; Sep

landing-one of the first men in
the entire division to lose his life
He was in the most exposed and
dangerous spot of all and he died

to jump and wade ashore that
morning. :. For all Of Roy's gentle
ways he was a brave man and a
damned good soldier"

Four Nozi Forts Fall to 9TH Army
Without Shot Beinq Fired

How four German forts fell tc
a 7th Army unit without the firing
of a shot was explained in a letter
from 1t. Bernard Lieb to his wife
who lives at 1922 Colorado ave-
nue. NV.
1t. Lieb, who won the Silver Stal
for bravery in action last Novem-
ber, wrote the letter in the Giving
room of the best house in town.
Things were just a bit too warm
during the last few days-in fact
last nights sleep was my first in
four. I didn't know could go SC
long without any," he wrote. :,
"The first days of the past four
were the grueling ones, but on the

without shot being fired.
"The infantry had taken one fort
and prisoners we're brought up

him, outlining meanwhile their stu
alton. I tried to have him re-
turn to the other forts and ask
them to surrender. He refused

life. One fort after another hung
up the white flag as soon as we made
the initial break through. What q
sight to see these 'supermen' stream
ing out, terrified, throwing away
their guns and helmets. All claimed
to be good Germans now and, of
course, hated Hitler. They must

sleep for three days and dusty.

I walked into the door OF one of the

Yesterday was a picnic (mem-
ories Of days in Southern France)
The only difference is that people
aren't cheering us. Instead, we
throw them out of their homes when
