Stop the OtlruaSll of Anarchy

UNITED STATES TREASURY
TO GO FURTHER INTO DEBT
MERELY TO DUMP AMERICAN
RESOURCES INTO A BOTTOM
LESS PIT.
In accordance with Bernard M.
Baruch's wise advice we should
undertake to help other peoples to
resume helping themselves, so that
when the next crop year occurs we
can withdraw our subsidies and our
gifts.
We should not further burden
the already greatly harassed Aneri-
can taxpayer If counter efforts and
n1aneuUers by our former Dar asso-
ciates wiH offset the benefits which
tUe intend to confer.
OUR goal should be to restore pro
" duction which has been inter
rupted, so that other peoples can
begin to stand on their own legs
financially at the earliest possible
time.
In such short term program of
winding up our participation IN the
war, we should specify precisely how
our dollars should be employed.
We should make such interim
financial aid conditional on pursuing
policies which fulfill the detectives
of the U. S. government.
In face of the impending crisis,
we Americans should stop the policy
of drifting, appeasing and being
pushed around, and should construc
lively lay down the terms and con-
ditions on which we will cooperate
to end the march of insolvency,
hunger and economic dissolution.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1945-10-11

IN THE wake of decisive military
victories on all fronts, this coun-
try is faced with challenging and
knotty problems.
The impending anarchy and eco
nomic dissolution in large sections
of Europe, for example, are far cry
from the propaganda promise of "a
brave new world"
Hunger and fear threaten TO
drive additional rudderless people
into the arms of the Communists,
who are skiilful in making glamor-
GUS promises rUhich they happen to
be unable to fulfill.
Having already dumped hundreds
Of billions in the war effort, the
American people are being impor-
tuned to continue the flow of largess.
In this critical situation, we as
people should recognize that we face
a condition-not theory.
IRRESPECTIVE of the wisdom or
lack thereof in departing from
traditional American policies of non
interference, we did invest our
treasure and our precious manpower
in foreign fields.
Having thus become entangled,
we cannot even if we would be-
come disentangled overnight.
But we owe it to ourselves and to
all humanity to employ our strength
and our know how along constructive
lines. We should refuse to be putty

who are trying to exploit our well.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
LEW Detroiters know of the
L cruelties of vivisection as
practiced on dogs. Fewer still
know that this animal torture
has been proclaimed by medical
men and women as not neces-
sary 10 the advancement Of
anything scientific. Detroit now
has its own anti-vivisection
scouts. They report that 2,879
dogs were sold or given away
by the city pound for medical
purposes. The Japs with all
their cruelties cannot compare
with the cruelties performed
upon mans best friend. Now
that human cruelty has been
brought TO its end we should
stop forever the use of dogs for

DUBLlC appreciation in this
Il country of the actual Sltua-
ton in Japan seems full of mis-
understandings.
One Of these is the SUPPOSE
ton that General Macarthur is
proceeding slowly and leniently
with the problem of the Jap
anese war criminals.
on the day of my return from
Japan | noticed a cartoon that
was published in an eastern
American newspaper which rep
resented "a courtroom h
two large chairs in the prison.
er'S dock.
One of these chairs, marked
Germany" was filled by a
portly prisoner under indict-
ment and trial.
The other chair, marked
Japan, was empty, except for
a large question mark.
49, The suggestion here was that
while in Europe the war crimi-
nails are being brought TO JUS
tice, in Japan nothing is being
done.
The facts are very much 10
the contrary.

Blum said only that the Marshal was alleged to have connection with them, but that he himself could add little to the reports.
 Blum quoted another former premier, Edouard Daladier, as hav- ing said:
 If there is man in whom the country can believe, and trust to keep us on the path of duty in war, it is Petain."
 Disillusioned
 Blum recalled how he left Paris on June g, 194O, after learning with stupefication" that the government had fled to Tours as the Germans wheeled across France.
 T lived in the illusion that Paris would be defended, and I wanted to stay in Paris during the fight" he said. However, I finally was persuaded that I ought to leave. I went to Montlucon, but 8 couple of days later I returned to Paris and found it already deserted.
 Feeling that the situation was hopeless, I returned to Montlucon, where I received a call to go to Bordeaux immediately"
