The dissatisfaction Of Europe with
the Crimea conference is understand
able. As this column has often pointed
out, Europe is defeated world. 1t was
first defeated by part of Europe-Ger-
many-with all the suffering and hu-
initiation which that defeat entailed
Now that defeat is being reversed by
powers outside Europe, by defeating
the defeaters. But as this is not q
self liberation, the sting of defeat Is
not pulled. The wound testers, and
there Is universal Illustration and bit
terness. For there is q truth that can
not be denied-namely, that no one
who owes his freedom to others is ever
wholly free. Power cannot be trans
ferred.
Now It is not possible that such
disastrous experience as has been suf-
fered by Europe can be overlooked,
wiped out, treated as q mere transitory
incident in history. Europe has died,
and it cannot be revived by artificial
respiration applied from without.
Granted unusual benevolence on the
part of the real victors, and granted
all formal acknowledgements Of equal
ity in rights, it is still not even in their
power to bestow life upon what has
died. If Europe is to live again, in the
glory that was hers, Europe must be
born again.
Specifically this is addressed to France
and with heartfelt love. I do not
wish even to imagine a world in which
France Is not one Of its brightest lights.
I cannot endue the thought Of world
out of which Europe has fallen like
Lucifer. But I cannot pretend to my
self that Europe is In q comparable
position to the one she held before this
war. And as France in the past has
given Europe new mind when the old
mind was dead, so pray that she may
again aspire. not to become "the grand
nation" but to be something much
greater-the catalyzing agent for the
new European spirit which must arise
out of the ashes of Europe's bitterest
historic experience.
I had hoped that De Gaulle would
take this mission upon his gallant shoul-
ders: That he would become the great
est French European who ever lived.

Letters to The Star
Readers Indorse Proposed Drive
A9ainst Profanity

A81lHSt TOMMY
To the Editor Of The star:
Please let me render my fervent
thanks to Edward N. Janson for his
timely letter Of February 8, asking for
crusade against the appalling prev
alence of profanity. I am not young
woman and the better part Of my life
has been spent in various offices. private
and governmental, but never before have
known such universal resort to profane
utterances.
One cannot read papers, magazines
or "best seller" books without having
mentally to eliminate oaths and rank
vulgarity.
While all the world is writhing In
agony and tears are falling in floods and
no one is free from death and destruc-
ton, men and women-alas. too many
Of them-seem to take pride in such low
forms Of speech-not to say desecration
of His Gods holy name.
Truly, it is time for some such crusade!
e. r. L. SMITH.
To the Editor Of The Star:
am q subscriber to your very fine
evening paper and was much interested
in Mr.. Jansons letter.
hope many other readers will ex-
press their appreciation of his crusade
against cursing.

No Explanation AS Yet

To the Editor Of The Star
In regard to the letter in The Star
for February 10 by an Army Mother"
I would like to say that certainly agree
with every word she wrote.
My son, IS, was given just II weeks
training and 10 days furlough and went
over at Christmas time. The last week
of January he was in q Paris hospital
after being at the front. He wasn't
three weeks overseas before he was in
combat. Is that fair when 50 many
others have weeks and months of train
ing here and in England before being
put in actual combat?

Koreans Will Help
To the Editor Of The Star,

10 the Editor OF Tne star:
A recent broadcast by the Domei
News Agency at Tokyo to the effect that
Japan's Premier Koiso had decided to
grant better political treatment" to
Korea has aroused our curious interest.
The Japanese government undoubtedly
Is uneasy because of the rumblings Of
underground activity in Korea. Its
purported extension of the velvet glove
is but another attempt at deceit by a
cunning Japan. A leopard, however,
cannot change his spots overnight.
The Japenese government in the
Korean Peninsula has been marked by
harsh repression and unimaginable
cruelty, deeds which the japanese man
aged to hide from the rest of the world
until the start Of the present war.
The table now Is turned. Indeed, the
joke is on the Jap government. For
decades the Korean people said to their
oppressors: do your worst; torture,
rob and kill. The time will come when
We at last will be ready to strike back!"
The time is almost here Koreans at
home and abroad impatiently are wait
ing for the proper signal from their
democratic friends. Then they will rise
in unison and help deliver death blows
upon the Japanese aggressors. Japan
then must ask for mercy. 1t will be for
us to consider better treatment" for
the oppressors of our country.
The opening of the Stilwell Road and
the inexorable surge Of American arms
toward East Asia are planting redoubled
courage and hope in the hearts of all
Koreans. Our cooperation on the main
land will be even more necessary to the
Allies than the recent magnificent work
by the people Of the Philippines. II
Koiso has any tears to shed, he had
better save them for his own people.
America will find Korea well ready to
pounce upon the Japanese.
COL. BEN C. LIMB,
The Korean Commission.
War and Its Causes Simplifed
To the Editor Of The star:
The treatment OF our German pris-
oners, giving the Nazis among them
full power to terrorize their democratic
associates, bodies Ill for tomorrow
Comments on the future administra-
tion of Germany seldom mention the
two sets of political and economic prin-
ciples which divide that country as they
divide all Europe.
The privileged classes. who wish to
make the rich richer, follow q policy Of
greed and violence, not because they are
German, but because that Is their way
of life
People who work for 4 living have
nothing to gain by violence or imperial
ism, and from them must come the nu-
cleus of free and peaceful Germany.
Divide the great estates into small
holdings and make the great industries
public property, and the war spirit will
die. Protect the privileged classes and
they will get ready for another war.

Knowing our uncomfortable market posi-
ton. the T. 5. Navy has given us permis-
sion to disclose some information about
our munitions manufacturing program.
The L. S. Navy was charged with the
development Of Rocket Firing, both
for itself and for the Army. Rockets
are a yitally important evolution in war
fare. Rocket firing, in effect, puts heavy
artillery into the air. A rocket missile is
equivalent in destructive power to the
missile freddy multi-ton gun on the
ground. Yet fighter aircraft can take
aloft and fire six rocket missiles.
These rocket missiles have fuze which
detonates the main explosive charge with
certain small delay after the rocket hits
the target The slight delay gives the mis-
sile time to shoulder" into the target
armor and then let go with everything
The manufacturing technique involved
must be vigorously precise.
The Parker Pen Company was the
first manufacturer of these fuzes in the
United States. 1t helped with some of
the development work. These fuzes re-

Enemy gun emplacements on Saipan,
Guam, Palau, the Philippines and many
other invaded areas have been put out of
