WHAT ABOUT
GERMANY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Everyone else has ventured an
opinion about what must be done with
Germany, so here is my two cents
worth.
The advice given to date ranges all
the way from maudlin sympathy for
"poor misguided people," to a 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 founda-
tion Of justice?
TO those who plead for leniency,
would ask-"Arei you willing to open
the jails in your own town and let
the thieves and ,Mnrderers loose upon
your own family? ?" To those who cry
for revenge, | 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 its good faith by
direct action against the Nazis. This
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
if Germans fight for German liberty
with some part Of the fanaticism with
which they have fought to enslave
others, they will begin the restoration
in the only way in which it can begin,
of Germany among the nations"
Although the pu b lie 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 Ger
many-but the move must come from
them. All we can do is to give them
opportunity to act. We cannot permit
their continued enslavement and leave
free the industrialists and the junk
ers. Nazism is only today's mask of
German Imperialism.
No peace will be firmly founded
that does not reestatblish justice-but
it must be just--to the afflicted, as
well as to the afflictors. Otherwise we
lay the groundwork for another war,
a thousandfold more deadly and

Union To Fight
Any PdY Under
Americun Scale
Threat To Minimum
Wage OF Seamen Seen

New York City QLNS).-American
seamen will refuse to subscribe to
international agreements that set
minimum wages below the American
scale, according to work received
from London by DR.. Alexander S.
Lipsett, maritime labor expert and
executive director of the Public and
Labor Relations Service, 1S East Al
Street, this city.
DR.. Lipsett said that Morris Weiss
berger, vice president of the Sea-
farers' International Union of North
America, AFL affiliate, and sole
American seamen's delegate to the
conference of the Joint Maritime
Commission of the International La
Dor Organization in London, has been
instructed to vote against "any and
all provisions of the proposed sea-
mems charter "that conflict with the
hard-won gains and the present status
of the American seafarers."
He pointed out that a minimum
wage of $3.50 proposed by the
British and other allied seamen's
unions was one third below the
monthly basic pay of an American
able seaman and constituted a poten
tial threat to the American merchant
marine.
1t is certain that after the war
great numbers of our cargo ships will
be sold or rented to foreign govern
ments and shipping interests abroad
at rates Extremely low or next to
nothing" DR.. Lipsett observed.

to replace wartime government de-
mands; and it means also that we
must greatly increase our export

"Our policy is, of course, to rely as

There will be need for the work of

Mems response Magnificent"
"The response of these men to the
appeal that they return to duty i'm
mediately was magnificent" saic
Capt. Macauley, Deputy War Ship.
ping Administrator. "They are civ
ilian volunteers and are not subject te
compulsory curtailment of tn ell
leaves.
Few, if any of them, spent Christ
mas day with their families, though
there was absolutely no means OF
compelling them to return. Many oi
these men had not seen their families
in months. They realized that then
return was necessary to avert crisis
in manning ships and they reported
they came from the Midwest, from
the South, and from port cities. They
acted in keeping with the traditions
of the service"
Capt. Macauley was particularly
appreciattive of the part played by
the press and radio, including COM
mentators and sponsors, in the lnten-
sive "a hour campaign to reach ex-
perienced seamen and officers with
the urgent appeal for their immediate
return to duty. He also commended
the unions, the ship operating com
panies and the men of the merchant
marine for the manner in which they
responded to the call.
Potential Crisis Ayerted
Because of the gratifying response
of seamen and officers to the appeal
a potential crisis was averted. How
ever the War Shipping Adminlstra'
tion's Recruitment and Manning Ot-
flee explained that it is necessary that
every veteran seaman and officer now
ashore report for active duty lmme-
diately, for the demands on merchant

Lawyers Ask
For Revision Of
Wage Formula

Washington, D. C. OLNS).-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was urged to revise
the Little Steel formula upward to
meet "the extraordinary increase in
the cost of living" by the national
executive board of the National Law
yers Guild.
The Lawyers Guild request was
embodied in a resolution forwarded
TO the President which asked him to
amend Executive Order 1928, which
limited wage adjustments in accord
ance with the Little Steel formula as
defined by the War Labor Board, by
removing the restrictions upon the
boards power to cure maladjustments
in the cost of living, and further ask
ed the President to issue new
Executive Order authorizing the Ma
tional War Labor Board to provide
| for adjustments made necessary by
the increase i'm the cost of living.
Stating that the Sterilization Act
of 1912 authorizes the President to
"proviGe for making adjustments with
respect to prices, wages and salaries
to the extent that he finds necessary
to aid in the effective prosecution OF
the war or to correct gross inequities, -"

out that government agencies and
