Selfish Interests
Stunt Democracy

One Of the great mistakes which
the peace-loving nations of the
world, as they now call themselves,
made the last time was that they
failed to help the democratic ele-
ments in Germany against the very
reactionary or national elements
which made World War II possible.
At present there is no question
about elements in the German gov
eminent for it is under Allied mill
tary rule. That problem is some
distance in the future. But here at
San Francisco and wherever the ex-
ecutive council or the assembly of
the organization planned here may
meet. the same question will arise.
W. have a concrete example in
the question of Argentina, not too
important in itself, but interesting
insofar as it reveals whose selfish
political and economic interests af-
feet world affairs.
Certain countries wanted to renew
normal business relations with Ar
gentina.
Great Britain has a great interest
in Argentina because of her trade
and Canada because the financing
Of many institutions there was ham
died through Canadian banks.
The representatives in the Mex
leo City conference yielded to this
pressure and when they came to
San Francisco could not reverse
their position. Russia looked on,
chortled. and said: Democracies
aren't so democratic after all if they
invite a fascist government to Join
up with them.
This is not too important but it
is an example of what must be
avoided if the United Nations really
champion the cause Of democracy
throughout the world.
But the strong hope of avoiding
the pitfalls Of the last time lies in
the interest, the participation of tbs
people. The people of America.

malnutrition. Together we agreed
on certain fundamental mistakes
made in the past which must be
avoided il the result of the San
Francisco conference is a success.
The object of the United Nations
Is the same as the object of the
League OF Nations: to stop agrees
sion before il starts. Last time, eff
Forts were directed specifically to-
ward Germany as the one potential
aggressor. Germany has been so
utterly defeated that she cannot
strike back for a long time but
conduct toward Germany after the
last war can be related to all flu
ture attempts at aggression.
The first mistake made last time,
namely, allowing the myth to grow
up that the German army was not
defeated. that other causes enforced
c~apitulation, cannot be made again
since the German army is now de-
stroyed. But there is danger that
another myth may grow which will
encourage na~zi-fascism elsewhere.
Even II the so-called German gov
eminent headed by Admiral Doenitz
formally capitulated to the Allies in
stead Of having the various gener-
ais surrender separately, the Nazis
might well claim that they them
selves never did surrender.
A very good legal case might be
made out supporting the thesis that
Doenitz was not the authorized head
OF the German government and that
government still existed in exile.
Whether Hitler and Himmler are
dead makes no difference. No proof
can be adduced that Doenitz is the
authorized successor to Hitler. There
has been no recognized revolution

The Sockets, however, are keeping right on their tail, and 1t is entirely possible that they will sneak through and cop first place honors, or perhaps the Killys who are only three games behind, might have another big night. In fact, even the Jets have a chance to become the leaders before the first round winds up.
