the second show. The film is being
shown again today and tomorrow
at 2:30 and 4 in the Coolidge audi
torium. Thursday it will move to
the public school buildings, and be
presented according to a schedule
printed in The Star today.
The exhibition was prepared by
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch, and is
being exhibited here under joint
auspices s. The Star and the Post
Dispatch.
The purpose of the exhibition is
explained in a four-page pamphlet
given TO each visitor. With the
slogan Lest We Forget" the
pamphlet carries one horror picture,
reproduced from one of the photo
murals, and a brief statement out
lining the reasons for presenting the
subject to the public.
Fruits of German Policy.
Torture, starvation and murder
of millions of political prisoners by
the Reich" says the pamphlet, y
were fruits of a German policy.
planned and deliberate, that served
Two main purposes:
"QD To reduce and weaken pop
ulations Of other European states,
thereby giving the German people
a future advantage in numbers and
physical sturdiness;
"(2) To ruthlessly exterminate or
intimidate anti-Fascist opposition
in overrun and satellite countries.
Thus, the Germans hoped to
build a superstate that would first
dominate Europe, and then She
world.
Photographs in this exhibition,
reproduced approximately life-size
or larger, give incontrovertible proof
that this policy was carried out
with ghastly thoroughness. More
than 100000 men, women and chill
dren died of abuse or were killed
outright. Most of them lost their
lives in some 100 concentra ton
camps for political prisoners set up
in all parts of Germany and in in
vaded countries.
Intellectuals Singled Out.
Specifically marked for extermi-
nation were intellectuals and demo-
cratic leaders of Europe, both men
and women. They shared, with
more humble citizens, forced toll in
German war factories until they
dropped in their tracks Of disease or
starvation. Then they were allowed
to die. or were killed off.
The particular manner of death
was uncertain. 1t might come by
beatings administered by SIS guards,
by strangulation, by fire, through
vivisection in the name of German
science.
This mass murder and torture
were among the products of Fascism
Such crimes against human de-
cency only could have occurred in a
nation whose people had lost all
democratic rights.
But the political philosophy to
which the German people sue
cumbed had its roots deep in Ger
man history. The myth of the mas
ter race. the urge for world domina-
tion, the belief in German mill
tary invincibility we're part and
parcel of the Reich's tradition.
These superstitions, nurtured
over the years by the Junkers In
general and by the general staff in
particular, along with the regimen
tation imposed on the German peo-
plea augmentation which they
easily accepted-made perfect
background for Nazi rule.
These photographs attest to the

NEW YORK, July "a War

The WLB had ordered the men
to return to work today or show
cause tomorrow in Washington why
the strike should not be terminated.
Post Fails TO Publish.
The Post did not publish for the
second consecutive day, but the
other three newspapers published a
limited number of copies for over
the-counter sale. The Post staff
gathered the news and edited IT as
usual and had its presses ready TO
run in the event the strike ended.

New Formula Appears
Near for Settling
Boundary Disputes
y The Associated Press.


s LONDON, July 3.-A new for
mula for easing Europe's many
boundary disputes appeared to
be emerging today in the wake
of Russian acquisition of the
Carpatho- Ukraine (Ruthenia'
from CZechoslovakia and the ar
gument between Czechs and
Poles over the future of Tesehen.
A Foreign ONCE commentator
said there was nothing in major
power agreements to preclude the
settlement of disputes between Allied
countries which would be laid
eventually on the peace table for
Previously, 1t had been assumed
in some diplomatic quarters that all
such questions, with the exception
of Poland, would be postponed to
the peace table. This was based in
part on Undersecretary of State
Joseph c. Crews recent statement
pointing out that there are more
than 80 such questions now.
Delay Affects Enemy Territory.
The Foreign Office commentator
took the view today, however. that
the delay affected only cases in
volving enemy territory and that
nothing existed to bar friendly
settlements between Allied coun-
tries.
Apparently. too, there is nothing
mandatory for one major power in
volyed in territorial change to
consult the others before reaching
an agreement. The commentator
said he did not know" whether
Britain and the United States had
been consulted about the Carpatho-
Ukraine.
Czech Prime Minister Zdeneu
Fierlinger yesterday in a broadcast
asserted Czechoslovakias claim to
the German areas of Kladsko
(Glatz), Ratibor and Hlubcice.
Two other territorial questions
already held the attention of the
Czechs.
Full Right to Frontiers.
Prime Minister Zdeneu Fierlinger
said last night in Prague broadcast
that Russia had assured Czecho-
slovakia that she had full right
to her pre-Munich frontiers but in
sisted that the Czech dispute with
Poland over the Teschen district
must DE settled by mutual agree
ment. The broadcast was reported
by the Czechoslovak news service.
Teschen. disputed for generations,
was taken over by Poland from
Czechoslovakia in 1888 shortly after
Munich.
