Hoover Requests Senate
To Ratify UN Charter

lishment of relations between ma
tons and men founded upon posi-
lively agreed political, moral and
spiritual rights.''
Such rights must be applied to
those peoples who have not yet
obtained them, and must be re-
applied to enemy nations which
must, sooner or later, govern them
selves, he said.
Mr.. Hoover listed the major
strengths of the Charter as pro-
viding for a continuous meeting
place for peace-loving nations; re-
establishment of the World Court;
provision for trusteeships for de-
pendent countries; provision for a
limited action to prevent military
aggression; and setting up of ma
chinery for promotion of social and
economic welfare.
But he found many weaknesses
in the Charter.
1T does not recover the. princi-
pies of the Atlantic Charter which
were whitfield away at Tehersn and
after Yalta,'' Hoover said, regret
ting the lack of positive bill of
rights for nations and men,
Other weaknesses ne summarized
as lack of means to halt agrees
sions by major powers holding veto
votes on the Security Council; fail
ure to define aggression; lack of
disarmament provisions; and sec
tons on regional organization and
review of outmoded treaties (which
leave much to be desired
But these weaknesses point the
directions in which there should
be amendment over the years to
come" Mr.. Hoover said.

BY KENNETH L. DIXON

IN OCCUPIED GERMANY-lR-
There is no doubt but that it is
far better to be occupying conquer
ors OF defeated land than to be
its residents-but that does not nee
essarily make the former position
an enviable role, as thousands OF
doughboys are learning daily.
1t isn't just a business of want
ing to be back home.
One thing which a few days trav.
cling through contested parts Of
Germany brings home is con.
slant physical reminder of destruc
ton on every side.
You cannot escape it and pretty
soon it begins to pail on you to
a point where you become almost
morbid about it. 1t is not, as one
soldier put it, that Germany die
not have that destruction coming
Nor is it feeling of pity toward!
the German people.
Perhaps it is rather that few
American soldiers have anything
but hatred for the destruction
of war in any form. And having
been forced into position O.
being destroyers they now wish
they could forget it since the shoot
ing has stopped.
But they cannot. Driving along
you see city after city composed
almost solely of skeletons and rub
BILE. Entire metropolitan areas
once housing millions, have beer
reduced to ghost towns without in
habitants or signs of life.

are other sensory reminders of
what war does. NOBODY seems to
know just how long the smell of
DEATH fingers, but recently l have
driven through cities where fight
ing ended five and six months
ago but where that odor still poi
soned the air.
Even after you leave such a zone,
it sometimes seems days before
you get that smell out of your
nostrils.
Doughboys see, hear and smell
other things which combine to keep
them from forgetting what and how
much a conqueror must destroy to
be successful. 1t is not an easy
thing to accept mentally-expecial-
ly if man has been trained since
childhood to consider such spread
ing of death and destruction sin
full thing.
Add to that the fact that the
life of an occupying conqueror al
ways is a lonely one.
If CTS are constantly conscious
of destruction wrought on a for
eign country, then it is obvious
that people whose homes are de
stroyed are many times more sen
sitive on that subject. They resen
the conquerors and more than any
thing else they resent the occupa
ton troops.
That resentment may not i'm
mediately translate itself into an,
sort of dangerous action. But i
