San Francisco that no bargain will be
made which will permit any NaI war
criminal to claim immunity
In any case it does not seem to matter
very much whether Doenitzs authority
extends to the south or not. Probably
it doesn't, but the turn of events seems
to give the Germans in the north con-
siderably more chance for prolonging
their resistance than in the south. The
surrender of the German forces in Italy
exposes the southern redoubt" to BIZ
section on the north-south line of the
Bremen Pass, with the British 9th Army
coming up to the Pass from the south
and the United States 7th Army only IA
miles from Innsbruck at the northern
end of the historic gateway.
This fact, coupled with what appears to
be an imminent junction between the
Russians and the United States Sd Army
along the Valley of the Danube sharply
diminishes the prospects of German re-
sistance in this area. 1t is interesting to
note that much of the so-called redoubt
the Austrian provinces of Tyrol. Vor-
arlberg and Salzburg. with parts of
Corinthia and Styria-are included in
the surrender of the German comman-
der in chief in Italy. though, of course,
1t is always possible that German troops
actually within those provinces may re-
fuse to recognize the surrender. How
many German troops have made their
escape across the Alpine Passes is an
other point which remains in doubt.
Another interesting situation is that
involving Trieste The German COM
mand in italy extends to the Ozonso
River on the northeast. Troops of the
British 9th Army are we'll beyond that
river. however and may be approaching
Trieste Marshal Titos Yugoslav forces
claim that they are in possession of the
city, but reports of Allied airmen reflect
some doubt on this point. The vast stra-
tegic and political Importance of Trieste
needs no emphasis here, and its future
may we'll be determined at least in part,
by the conditions under which 1t Is
occupied by the Allied forces.
The broad military picture in Europe
is just this: Except in Norway, and per-
haps Denmark and the adjacent area
of northern Germany, German power
is everywhere crumbling, what remains
Of it is being broken up into ever les
sening pockets. There is grave doubt
as to whether there exists any longer
a German government exercising au-
thority over all German forces in these
scattered areas The task before the
Allied armies is assuming more and
more the character of q gigantic mop
pfng-up operation.

Move for Economy

President Humans initial move
toward economy in Government is
encouraging. The cuts in next years
budget that he has urged on Con-
gress approximate $4,000 100000,
amounting, roughly, to nine per cent
of the $S3 100000 expenditure
contemplated. Most of the reduc-
ton would come in the construction
account of the Maritime Commits
sion, but other proposed cuts are
distributed in a manner indicating
that the new President has been
giving the budget a detailed exami-
nation, and that the pruning knife
has been used wherever it was be-
lieved feasible
The principal casualty is the Of
flee of Civilian Defense, which is
to be closed out by June 30. What
ever need there may have been for
such an organization has disap-
peared, and the President was well
advised in deciding to wind up it's
affairs without delay, and save the
$369,0OO operating fund sought for
the next year War Manpower Com
mission, Federal Security Agency,
Office of War Information, War Pro-
duction Board. Office of Censorship
and Office of Defense Transportation
are other units where the lessening
demands of war have made retrench-
ment possible, in the Presidents be-
lief.
Further, he promises that as the
war progresses, the activities of all
agencies will be reviewed continual
ly to achieve savings where they will
not interfere with the prosecution
of the war.
Congress unquestionably will go
along with the President in this pro-
gram which seemingly augurs so
we'll for the future. and which Is
certain to have the warm indorse-
ment of the public.

ond elections there will be less coali-
ton candidates..
In some French quarters the hold
ing of these elections just now was
deemed unWiSe. But the majority
opinion is that it was valuable re-
affirmation of the return to legal
democratic processes, whereby the
electorate again participated in its
political functions, and also where
by the new women voters were init
ated into their civic duties.

Letters to The Star
Desires Public Transportation
Favored Over Private Facilities

Favored Over Private Facilities
To the Editor OF The Star:
r. O. Daniels letter in The Star of
April Is, pertaining to proposed trafflc
projects requiring the expenditure of
large sums of money and the relation
ship of those projects to relief of traffic
conditions and provision for adequate
parking facilities, has been discussed
by a number of those interested in
Washington's future. 1t is generally
agreed that he literally has hit the nail
on the head"
To provide parking space at public
expense for all transient" and /or all
day" parkers, who would want to use it,
is unthinkable; and there are not many
who would be willing to pay the parking
fees that would have to be charged If
undertaken by private enterprise. The
cost of providing adequate, accessible
parking space will run into millions
perhaps as much as the projects to re-
lieve traffic congestion-if all potential
parkers are to be satisfied. Furthermore,
conveniently available space In the
downtown area is far from being SUM-
cient to take care of most of those who
would desire to drive their automobiles
into that area.
It would be far wiser to spend a
portion of this money on improving
mass transit services and facilities, but
not necessarily on the proposed subway
which. it is understood, probably will
save the average transit rider less than
five minutes between residence and des-
tination in the central area, including
the additional walking time for longer
distances between transit stop and final
destination. That is too small a saving
in time for the average commuter to
justify a multi 80 to co. million dollar
traffic project.
More rapid, frequent, reliable and
comfortable transit services can be made
available via surface facilities at rela-
lively small cost and, with improved
package delivery service in the postwar
period, would give to the people of this
city satisfactory transportation, even
though individual automobile transpor-
tation might have to be restricted or
even prohibited in some areas and or
on some streets.
Restricting or prohibiting specific
types Of traffic on specific streets is not
new measure and restricting private
transportation in favor of public trans
portation is the logical next step.
If private transportation is permitted
to continue interfering with public
mately will break down

Legislation of Peace Doubted

Legislation of Peace Doubted
70 the Editor q The Star:
The attempt to promote world har-
mony at the San Francisco Conference
seems step in the right direction
Nevertheless, permanent peace cannot
be legislated into being nor human
nature regulated as one would regulate
clocks
Who remembers the peace plan of
certain Nazarene who sought to estab-
lish universal social order based on
brotherhood? To attain this goal He
reminded His followers that the mind
first must be cleansed of it's dross.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote:
Were half the power that fills the world
with terror,
Were half the wealth bestowed by
camps and courts,
Given to redeem the human mind from
error,
There were no need of arsenals and
forts

Quotes Frederic Harrison
To the Editor of The Star:
l would like to see reprinted the fol-
lowing letter, written to the Newark
Evening News by Alfred Sheppard many
years back. GEORGE OERTE..
"Sir-On November Is. 1870, Frederic
Harrison. at the time of the Franco
German War, wrote the following lines
as part of an essay appearing in the
London Fortnightly Review in Deem
Der, 1870
"One of the most repulsive features
of this war is the way in which a spirit
of Pharisaism has entered into the very
soul of the German. PhariSaism, hypoc-
risy, cant was ever the Teutonic vice
But in the history of human folly it
never has been carried to such a point
as in this late war. A nation craZed
with revenge and ambition keeps on
thanking God for His mercy by platoons
the God which nine out of ten OF
their educated men openly or secretly
ignore. A people who burn villages
system, swear that they are the most
inoffensive of men. They heap on
France every insult, and threaten every
evil which hatred can invent, whilst
whining through Europe that they are
only seeking a safer line of frontier.
They are never weary of calling Heaven
to witness the immortality of France,
whilst themselves waging the most
savage of all modern wars, with in
human cruelty and relentless hate.
They forever cry out over the falseness
of France, whilst their own chosen
mouthpiece, Bismarck, is perhaps the
most accomplished master of fraud in
modern times; whilst the official and
literary utterances of the country form
one system of organized falsehood, and
the whole people gives itself up to mere
stereotyped can't
Il have spoken plainly my opinion
about German cruelty. I say it most
deliberately that Germans are now
carrying on war with inhuman cruelty.
War so savage. torture so steadily in
flicted on civil community, has never
been seen within two generations in
Europe. It rests with the German
race, with their pretended culture, to
have carried into the heart of Western
Europe the horrible traditions of East
ern barbarism"
