Five months after the unconditional
surrender of Germany, and two months
after the Potsdam declaration, it is time
to look at what we have achieved and
where We have failed
The military disarmament Of Ger
many is complete.
We have arrested thousands Of Nazis,
and expelled from office tens OF thou
sands of others. Whether or not this
means de-Nazifcation. neither Gen.
Eisenhower nor Gen. Patton can say.
For Naziism is not visible skin disease
nor can 1t be identified by question
naire or party button. Nor Is 1t so
well defined that one can tell at what
point a man ceases or begins to be
Nazi. Thus the dispute between Gen.
Patton and Gen. Eisenhower is over
definitions. But the Nazi party is
wrecked as an organized institution.
We have reluctantly begun to allow
other than Nazi political forces to rally,
Nobody can say we have encouraged
them, but our resistance has weakened.
In negative, uncreative way we are

expect to define 1t for Germans. In
Germany, as elsewhere in Europe. it
means different things in different zones.
In the economic field. however, we
have accomplished something remark
able. We have totally wrecked German
industrial life. That started with the
bombings; it continued. by the transfer
from the Russian zone of practically
every vestige of machinery: it was
furthered by the necessary removal of
active Nazis from key managerial po-
sitions and it is accelerated by our re-
fusal to recognize asly kind of private
initiative which might spring out of
chaos and collapse.
Normally, when a country is engulfed
in any catastrophe, be it hurricane.
flood, earthquake or defeat. some ener-
gies pull themselves together to begin
life anew. Normally in Germany, among
people for whom work is almost a
vice, this would occur. 1t has occurred
on the land, where energy has been
encouraged. But the German people
have not been allowed to begin rebuild
ing their destroyed cities; they have not
been mobilized to restore their shattered
communications; not even the postal
system functions between zones-no
man in Berlin can write to Munich,
after five months.
The production of coal in the great
Ruhr Basin, which decreased steadily
during the war, declined from ii ,000, 900

Symbol of Unity
m the London Daily Herald.

From the London Daily Herald.
In some sections of society there In
still a yearning to make contact with
the throne the snobbish preserve of rank
and wealth. The King and Queen give
not the slightest encouragement to such
ambitions. On the contrary. through
out their reign and in particular
throughout the war they have identified
themselves with the efforts and suffer-
ings of the people While in so many
countries kingship has been an instru-
ment Of oppression and intrigue, the
British Crown remains to us symbol
Of democratic unity throughout the
commonwealth. The man and the
woman who are King and Queen today
richly earn our congratulations for the
energy, the good humor and the selfiess-
ness with which they have performed
their tasks

Our New Commissioner

Brigadier General Gordon r.
Young takes office today as Engineer
Commissioner of the District for a
term which will witness the launch
ing of a delayed program of capital
improvements costing in the neigh
borhood of $50,O00,0 ,000 AS Engineer
Commissioner, most of this work will
come directly under his supervision,
calling for high degree of profess
sional competence on his part. In
the long list of good, bad and indif-
ferent Engineer Commissioners who
have served Washington, however,
engineering ability has not been so
important as the attitude displayed
toward the civilian population by an
Army officer who suddenly becomes
one of the city's administrative tri-
umvirate. That is what calls for wis
dom and tact. And in welcoming
General Young to his new duties and
wishing him success, it is appropriate
to recall the unusual services, on the
part of his predecessor, just termi-
mated. General Kutz was called to
duty from his retirement in 1941 and
has ended his third term here as an
Engineer Commissioner. He was on
duty here from 1914 to 1917, and
again from 1918 to 1921. Conscien-
tiouS level headed and with IlniuIIa
knowledge of Washington and the
municipal government, General Kutz
has served the people of this city
well. 1t is gratifying that his second
retirement will not end his connec-
tion with community which he has
adopted as his own and that as
civilian taxpayer he will be in posi-
tion to watch the execution of many
of the projects which were planned,
during the war, under his direction.

will watch every European election with
anxiety. Their concern will be not
only what elections mean in Europe,
but what effects they will have over
here. There was undue CONSERVATION
among our conservatives about the
swing to the left in Britain. Now we
have a French election to study.
The first free postwar elections have
been held in the cities and other local
governing areas in France. The result
seems to be gain in the orthodox
Socialist votes. They averaged about
20 per cent before the war. They now
constitute about one-third the total
vote. Communist gains were small
Communist votes were between and
per cent before the war. In this elec-
tion they reached only 9 per cent.
Every one expected much more.
The losses came from right-wing par
ties. The Left Republicans, which COR
respond to our more conservative Re
publicans, lost two-thirds Of their seats
in the councils. The Radical Socialists.
of which Edouard Herriot is member,
lost one-half their strength. They are
now about Is per cent Of the electorate.
Almost all the losses from the Herriot
Radical Socialist group went to q new
group the Movement Republican Popu-
laire IN r. P.)-comprising elements
faithful to the Catholic Church, mostly
farmers and small business men.
xi*
The general tenor Of the result Is
conservative. It backs De Gaulle out
right and does not provide real Social
ist- Communist control.
It is quite natural that there should be
considerable realignment among the
old conservative parties Some OF them
were tainted with collahorationism.
This means that the very names Of these
old parties are not suitable for future
politick Hence ths appeal q the n. r.

A Misleading Exuggerotion

Earl G. Harrison delivered his re-
port to the President on the condi-
ton of homeless Jews still held in
German concentration camps some
thirty days ago and the report itself
covered the situation as he saw 1t
three months after We day. In the
meantime, the President presumably
transmitted It's contents to General
Eisenhower and must have received
some statement or explanation from
him. So there is a tone of incom-
pleteness about the whole matter,
which is not helped by Mr.. Harrison's
admitted resort to excessive general
ization in writing his report and an
almost complete lack of detailed
specifications which one has a right
to expect in so severe an indictment
of American occupation policy.
The spectacular charge in the re-
port is that "As matters stand (when
he made the report month ago. we
appear to be treating the Jews as the
Nazis treated them except that we
do not exterminate them. They are
in concentration camps in large
numbers under our military guard
instead of SIS troops" To any Ameri-
can familiar with conditions when
the camps were liberated, the impli-
cations of that remark are wholly
unwarranted and grotesquely mis-
leading. BY eve" Mr.. Harrison pre-
sumably means the Americans, and
1t is about time that Americans
called a halt to this type of rhetorical
exaggeration which subjects Ma
tion to such invidious criticism.
What order General Eisenhower
has been able to bring out of the
chaotic conditions found in the
camps on their liberation is not clear.
But it is to be remembered that the
helpless Jews remaining in many of
them, for lack of any other quarters
to house them, are the residue Of
millions of victims-some 1000, 900 of
whom were returned to their homes
within three months after liberation.
But the homeless Jews, stateleSs or
nonrepatriable, constitute a pecul-
iarly tragic problem of their own.
They fear, or are unable, to return to
the countries of their origin. Their
condition is an aftermath, inherited
by the Americans, of one of the
blacklist crimes in the history of the
world. They were dying by the score,
still ridden by disease and malnutri-
ton. Tt is no answer to say that Ger
man civilians could be turned out of
their homes to let these people in.
1t is a question what would happen
to them If turned loose or left on
their own.
AS for where these people might
go, Mr.. Harrison says "The Palestine
issue must be faced" But 1t cannot
be faced as he faces it, by saying that
Palestine offers the only solution ION
a purely humanitarian basis with no
reference to theological or political
considerations" For these consider
ations are what make the Palestine
issue. In the meantime, General
Eisenhower may have been able to
find within the occupation forces the
knowledge, the skill, the experience,
the food, the medicine and the cloth
ing which will temporarily alleviate
the condition among pitiful inmates
of the camps. The UNRRA, judging
from the Harrison report, is incom-
petent to lend much help. But the
cause is not helped by asserting that
1--WE" appear to be treating the Jews
as the Nazis treated them. That SIM
ply is not correct.

Enlightened imperialism
From the Toronto Star.

From the Toronto Star.
The foreign policy of the United
States in these strange new postwar
days is matter of great import not
only to its own people, but to all the
world. The United States has emerged
from its long isolation and is committed
to participation in global affairs and the
and the Far East, which are legacy
OF the World War Just concluded. Thera
Is much more likelihood now of an
enlightened American imperialism than
OF American withdrawal from the In.
