The Balance Sheet

| do not refer to what politicians
said, but to what the people
thought and dreamed and prayed
for as their sons marched OF 10
distant continents, TO jungles and
beachheads and deserts. This was
an experiment IN idealism, in the
filth that IL country gives much
and asks for nothing it is like cast
ing bread upon the waters.
And the American people are
waiting for justice and righteous
ness. They are armed beyond ina
gination; they are in their prime;
they can strike hard They must
not be disappointed in their good
faith and charity, in their high
hopes that decency might be re-
vived in the human race. This
contry that asks nothing material,
demands much that is moral. II
will not sign a thieving treaty;
II will not sign an enslaying treaty.
1t will not surrender the princi-
pie that every nation has a right
TO choose its own government free
ly. without coercion or fear: it will
not surrender the principle that
every human being has a God given
right 10 reedom-freedom OF
speech. Of the press and radio. OF
religious worship and education,
freedom OF movement. America
cannot yet strike its balance sheet.

battling each other.
 The widespread rumor that the Russian soldiers evidently originated in Potsdam. Its basis is the fact that the Russians have placed a heavy guard around the enclosed area where the Big Three meetings are in progress. .-
 About 10 per cent of those who were interviewed were obviously heightened. Spontaneously each exclaimed: T hope that nothing will happen to any of the Big Three" They feared that if any of the Big Three leaders suffered in- jury, Berlin would be made second Lidice. This attitude is symptomatic of their belief that the Nazi under ground is very powerful and that the Allies were unable to protect their leaders against the Nazis.
 Only about 25 per cent, mainly midde-aged business men, work ing women, and elderly people, hoped that unity will be achieved during the conference. These people

feel that any difference between the Allies would result in additional difficulties for Germany.
 About 15 per cent. mainly work CTS, have specific wishes. Almost all want a certain measure of se- curity. They believe: The value of German money should be interna- tionally regulated. Taxes not yet paid should be cancelled, since those who owe them aren't making any money. People who had been forced into the party without playing a role there should be forgiven and not be treated as NaIs. Some kind of central German authority should be created so that some general law basis will exist. Measures should be taken to better the food situation. The question of German war pris- oners should be cleared.
 Relatively few among this group hoped that the conference would ar range for German elections. Many, however, hoped that the activities of German Communists would be

somewhat curbed. When asked what specific activity they meant, no an- swers were given. About five per cent declared they had no suggestions to make because they no longer cared for politics. About Is per cent, made up al- most exclusively of younger and middle-aged women, openly said they hoped that the meeting would end in general disagreement with an American Russian war following. Germany would not be 8 country worth living in until the Russians are definitely beaten, they said. Every German worth his salt would gladly die in order to help the Amer. jeans.
 The prospect that Germany would be the theater of such a war didn't frighten them. When told that there wasn't any prospect of such war and that the Allies and Russia are the best of friends de- spite small disagreements, they smile slyly and knowingly.

 Berlin, July 19-Defeat has not uprooted the propaganda so firmly implanted in German minds through years of Goebbelizing and isolation from the rest of the world.
 This I learned in painstaking canvass of opinion in Berlin and its suburbs. To assure impartiality, I employed German civilians to as- sist me in taking popular poll. We interviewed cross-section of people Cover 2O0) in all walks of life. Here are some of the startling beliefs held by many Berliners after over three months of Allied occupation.
 l.. That President Truman and Prime Minister Churchill are not on speaking terms. and are busily preparing for war against each other.
 2. That stories about the Big Three conference are typical prop aganda" (about 20 per cent, in fact, did not even know such confer ence was under way in Berlin)
 3. That the Russians have taken many British and American sol- diers as prisoners, and are hold ing them in a Berlin suburb under heavy guard.
 4. That war between Russia and the United States is inevitable, and will take place on German soil. NO INTEREST IN HISTORY"
 Berliners seem strangely unaware, of the historic significance of the Big Three barley. They don't ap- pear to realize that the treatment to be accorded Germany is one of the major issues to be discussed. They are unconcerned about the fact that discussions taking place in the German capital will affect the future of the world.
 The Germans are no longer in- terested in history. They are in- terested only in what the next few days will bring to them. Their chief concerns are food, employment, and reconstruction.
 The people who didn't believe the Big Three would meet in Berlin had no explanation for their doubts. They simply didn't think 1t was true. Even when they were convinc- ed such a meeting would be held, they showed no spark of interest.
 About 10 per cent of those 1n- terviewed, all of whom I suspect to be Nazis, openly declared that they believed the Big Three conference to be propaganda devised to impress the Germans with Allied unity. These are the people who believed Truman and Churchill were actually
