Pleads for German People

10 the Edltor OF The Star:
In my opinion, the German people
should be given an opportunity to re-
construct their economy along peaceful
lines. No heavy war-making industries,
OF course; but neither should there be
confiscation of peacetime industries and
private business with the people re-
duced to agricultural serfdom, or the
next thing to it. There are too many
people and not enough land for such
program to be workable. According
to report in The Star, more than
Is per cent of those who live in the
American zone of occupation are un-
employed. No doubt all of them were
followers of the Nazi party at one time
or another-the herd instinct being what
1t is. But if we, as victors, have granted
these people the right to live, we have
to go one step further and grant them
the right to earn living and support
themselves and their families. L. w,

Discusses Freedoms DANGER

To the Editor Of The Star:
Already, the world has shrunk to a
size to fall easily into the bottomless
pit of some totalitarian slavery. AL
ready, we have entered the age in which
it is at last possible for some great
power or combination of powers to con-
quer the entire earth, and keep it con-
quered for some time unforeseeable.
Already, science has brought human
liberty more deadly perils than it ever
before has known.
For this reason it is more ridiculous
and dangerous today than ever before
for the democratic world to do any
bright-smiled appeasing. Because free
dom cannot help living most danger
ously, We must see to it that freedom
lives ION the alert" to an ever -increas-
ing degree. Freedom must keep ever
ready for showdown. Freedoms days
of easy living are gone-untn that time
when all mankind is free.

Loyalty to Conodo and Britain
From the Winnipeg Tribune.

FTom tne winnipeg Tfibune.
Loyalty to Canada does not mean
Canadian isolationism, nor any loosen
ing of the real bonds which bind Cana
da to the British Commonwealth. On
the contrary, the better our citizens be-
come as Canadians, the better member of
the commonwealth Canada will be- If the
individual Canadians sense of partner
ship in the Canadian community is dull
and nebulous, his sense of sharing in
the commonwealth will be that much
the more tenuous.

Choice of Work
| AXE look at some typical plans for men
who'll be returning to their old jobs. There's
Corp Joe Smith, former stockboy in large
department store in New York State. Dis
charged from the Army, Joe reports for work.
For his old job? No, says the management.
YOU" it tells him, "are not the same
Joe Smith who went into the Army. Let's not
think about what you were but what you
want to be- We've got plan"
So Joe makes his choice - salesman, buyer,
ad man - whatever he wants. He gets his
chance Maybe it works out If it doesn't Joe
shifts to other departments until he connects.
Meanwhile, the wartime employees, instead
of being abruptly dismissed when Joe and the
others come back, may go on the reserve"
list. The vet and the reserve he replaces
each work four hour shift for month
at increased wages. Then the vet gets an
eight-hour shift, one day week off, and
reservists work that day.
Just as heartening is the plan of the
Lincoln Alliance Bank of Rochester, N. Y.
President Raymond N. Ball recently wrote
servicemen: 1--WE realize that in the service
many of you have discovered talents which
may lead you into other fields. You who
return uncertain of what to do will be well
coined back to the bank and put on the pay
roll while you are making your plans.
Veterans coming out of service without
knowing what they want to do will get expert
guidance. Seven colleges of Rhode Island

have joined to establish the Veterans Guid->
ance Center in Providence. Every man who
consults it will get the chance, through tests,
to have his occupational interests and apti-
tudes analysed.
Once veteran decides on the job he wants,
he'll get help in finding it. The National
Association of Retail Grocers has a nation
wide plan under which local grocers' associa-
tons will list all of the available jobs for
veterans.
Some newspapers have already started
to put stars in front of job-wanted ads of
veterans to direct attention. Modern
Plastics" and Modern Packaging" maga-
zines we're among the first to run free class-
fed ads for veterans.
Privately sponsored educational and job
training plans are multiplying. The Univer-
sity of California has established Liberty
scholarships for veterans, in memory of grad
yates who died in battle In Iowa City, the
Junior and State Chambers of Commerce are
working on 00O-scholarship fund to
honor the memory of Nile kinnick, 1889 ALL
American halfback killed in action.
New York's Museum of Modern Art has
opened special Veterans Art Center to give
free instruction in sculpture, ceramics, wood
working design book illustration, typography.
This offers work - and hobbies.
They'll Help Each Other
Nor the least valuable will be the help that
many veterans will be to each other. Small
plants, run and stated entirely by service
men, are already in operation. About so vet
erans, ranging in rank from private to lieu
tenant, have joined as partners to form the
Norsenan Air Transport to operate New
England airline. They hope to get "a aircraft
from surplus government stock, equip the
planes for amphibious landings, and make
water-to-water fights. They'll serve % cities,
including Boston and Providence. The enter
prise will offer opportunities for scores of
vets.
This report could go on and on. But these
examples show that the fate of veterans isn't
just being left up to government planning.

ping really got its start at the
1885 meeting of foreign minis
tiers in Buenos Aires, when a
convention for promoting inter-
American cultural relations was
adopted and later ratified by Is
of the governments. Culture"
isn't quite the right name for
the commodities dealt in, but so
far no one has thought up a
better o4e.
What the program amounted
to at first was exchange of stu
dents and professors. The gov
eminent which nominated the
student paid for his travel; the
government which received the
student paid for his tuition and
living expenses. On exchange
of professors, the government
nominating pays all expenses.
In 1899 Congress enacted
legislation to permit agencies of
the United States government
to assist Latin-American coun-
tries. Some agencies lent tech
nicians to other countries to
train their nationals. Other
agencies ught technicians
from Latin America to the
United States for training in
such divers subjects as weather
forecasting, soil conservation,
aeronautics, tidal surveys.
$4,000 IN 1910,
$4,5O0,000 NOW
All agencies participating in
this exchange were organized
into an inter-departmental COM
mittee headed up in the Depart
ment of State. The first full
year of these operations 1910,
the appropriation was $4,000.
This r'seappropriation is S4,-
500, 900 and the amount has been
requested for next year.
Much of the administration of
this program is handled by pri-
vate organizations such as the

the u. S. are generally recon-
mended by cultural relations
attaches in American embassies
abroad. There are now % of
these cultural relations officers;
there have been $50 official Wis
itors in the last two years.
Teaching English in other
countries is an important part
of the program. Twelve out OF
the 20 American republics have
now made English required
course in secondary and higher
schools
American cultural centers in
Latin-American countries pro-
vide another outlet for teaching
English to adults. Before the
war there were eight of these
centers. Now there are %.
IT'S NOT ALL OUTGO
Many of the activities are in
part understanding, particu-
larly in the American cultural
centers in which there are au-
ditoriums for showing U. S.
documentary films, playing
recorded American music, hold
ing art exhibitions, conducting
classes.
In the past year $153, 900 has
been collected locally to sup
port these centers, and in more
than half the local contribution
has been greater than the con-
tribution from the y. S. govern
ment.
Why hasn't all this cultural
stuff paid better dividends in
Argentina and Bolivia? The
answer given is that in all the
other 10 Latin-American repub-
lies it has paid dividends and

favor the United Nations cause.

IN WASHINGTON .
By PETER EDISON

The u. S. Department Of State
program of swapping cultural
relations with other American
republics is nearly five years
old, and as the administration
has asked Congress to approve
similar cultural exchanges with
other nations of the world, this
offers a good opportunity for a
check-up to see what the work
has accomplished.
