WHAT ABOUT GERMANY?

in the only way in which it can begin,
of Germany among the nations"
Although the public does not realize
it, we realize that organized German
trade unions were the first group to
be destroyed by Hitler. Next came
the Jews. Then the Catholics From
the scattered remnants of the workers
may come the rebirth of Germany
BUT THE MOVE MUST COME
FROM THEM. All we can do is to
give them opportunity to act. We
cannot permit their continued enslave-
ment and leave free the industrialists
and the Junkers. Nazism is only to-
days mask of German Imperialism.
No peace will be firmly founded
that does not re-establish justice-but
it must be just-to the afflicted, as
well as to the afflictors. Otherwise
we lay the groundwork for another
war, thousandfold more deadly and
devastating than this one.
We cannot and we do not want to
destroy nation, but we can wipe out
the cancer at the heart of that ma
ton This time the cure must be
permanent even if the knife cuts deep.
Then we can permit it to EARN its
way back to health. Until it has, it
does not belong in the society of
nations

MORE AIRCRAFT
ORDERED FOR 1915

Increased military requirements
have necessitated upward revision of
the 1915 aircraft program, announced
WPB officials today
Working schedules drafted two
months ago have now been raised
roughly 4 per cent for next year. The
new program calls for an output of
1927 planes during 1945-an increase
from the earlier figure of 1850.
Some of the increase presents a par
tial restoration of reductions made
during the late summer and early fall.
In announcing the increased schedule
for 1916, WPB officials stressed the
magnitude of the production job which
lies ahead. WPB officials called on
every worker to remain on the job
and said that management can help
by continually stressing the urgency
of the production assigned to each
plant. Only by this type of coop
erative effort will it be possible to
meet the expanding needs of our
armed forces, WPB officials said.

By RUTH TAYLOR

Everyone else has ventured an
Germany, so here is my two cents
worth.
The advice given to date ranges all
the way from maudlin sympathy for
a poor misguided people, to Nazi-
like cry for revenge. But it seems
to me that the one thing that has been
overlooked is-what are we trying to
accomplish?
Do we want another war? Or do
we want peace based upon firm
foundation of justice?
To those who plead for leniency,
would ask-"Are you willing to open
the jails in your own town and let
the thieves and murderers loose upon
your own family?" To those who cry
for revenge, I would recommend the
seventh verse of the eighth chapter
of the Gospel according to st. John.
Some advocate the backing of an
anti-nazi group. That is good-pro-
vided the group comes from Within
and has established it's good faith by
ull6CI dCLlOH dSdlhot IhC ANeAio. hio
cannot be a group from without or
under foreign domination for as such
it cannot win the German people.
The regeneration must come from
within.
Frankly, the most sensible idea
have heard was voiced by Walter
Lippmann when he wrote: when and
f;fr1 fu
with some part of the fanaticism with
which they have fought to enslave
others, they will begin the restoration

Manufacturing
Production Highest
In NV. History

Minnesota, the Dakotas and Mon
tana had the largest manufacturing
production in their history for the
year just closing, said David J. Win
ton, regional director, WPB, today in
his annual report to Washington.
The 1900 war plants in this region
produced $3.50, 100000 of war goods
completed war contracts totaling ST.
S38,671, 900. Eighty per cent of this
war production is shells, ammunition
and ordnance, but we are also heavy
producers of airplane, gun and heavy
machinery components and ships for
the Navy and Maritime Service.
Labor relations in this area have
made notable record, said Mr.. Win
ton. The Labor division has led all
regions in reporting lower absentee
ism than the average for the country
and work stoppages have been prac-
tically unheard of in northwest war
plants.
WPB have set up 1913 Labor Man
cessfully handled production problems
of more than 100000 plant workers.
Production has been increased on an
average of % per cent in 81 plants
wage incentive plans sug-
gested by the Management Consultant
division. These incentive plans have
also increased pay IS per cent and de-
creased unit cost IL per cent, Mr.. Win
ton said.
WPB is receiving 1,200 construction
a month, averaging S.,
100000, and have received civilian
production applications totaling $780,,
411,000. Unfortunately, due to critical
shortages in war plants,
only 81, 345,000 of this reconyersion
was approved The demand for ma
terials for the house, office and the
farm are steady. Our personal calls
are running 1000 a month and appli-
cations are running over 1000
month for items varying from type
writer's to heavy construction machin-
cry.

ance of mail from home in keeping

especially urge that letters be written

sent by the swiftest means. Short

was the effectiveness with which the

most important military production
