The W WaShington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Tt. Col. Robert s: Allen now on active service with the Army

SAN FRANCISCO, - When the American Army swept into Ger many it was fortunate enough to capture an interesting figure ill pr. H. J. Caesar, the counterpart of our Alien Property Custodian, who had charge of all American banks and alien property seized in France.
 Dr. Caesar was crosS-examlned at length. From him came highly enlightening and hitherto secret information about the manner in which certain British and American branch banks in Paris collaborated with the Germans after the fall of France. His testimony high-lights the main issue underlying the problem of future peace-namely whether, despite all the plans worked out at San Francisco, cer- tain Allied business firms together with their friends in the State Department, the Army and the British Foreign Office are going to maneuver behind the scenes to strengthen Germany once again as a bulwark against Russia.
 This largely lies at the root of the ticklish Polish question. Russia wants a Poland which will cooper ate with her and be a buffer against another German invasion If there were no fear of future Germany, there might be less in- sistence on a puppet Poland.
 Ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes de- scribed this graphically to Senators upon his return from Yalta. Telling how Stalin got excited on the question of Poland, Byrnes quoted Stalin as saying: You speak oi English honor, Mir Prime Minister and your desire to protect the safety of Russia. But twice in 2s years German Armies have marched across Poland to attack Russia. Ii that happens again will the Eng fish armies come to our defense?'
 oclOlC F Weto AAifo oNASS Ae'o' time it will be remembered that British business interests were quite willing, even apparently anxious to have the Sudetenland taker away from Czechoslovakia. Presi- dent Benes complained bitterly re- garding Lord Runciman's attitude on this but the British appeasors policy was to strengthen Germany at the expense of Russia's frienc and buffer ally, Czechoslovakia.
 Finally, it was American ane British banks which poured money into Germany for years before the war and then maneuvered to have separations and war debts cancelled in order to protect theii own loans. The Chase Nationa Bank was one of the worst of lenders. That is why lot o1 people in Washington, Moscow ano

LONDON, April 28 Heinrich Himmler is reported today to have offered unconditional surrender to Great Britain and the United States, but British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in a special statement, declared only uncon- ditional surrender to all three big powers wtl, hc accepted by the Allies.
 Churchill neither confirmed nor denied reports surrender had been offered.
 Later, Churchill said: Tt has been reported by Reuters that an unconditional surrender has been offered by Heinrich Himmler to Britain and the United States, but in reply, if such an offer has been made, could only say uncondi- tional surrender must be made in behalf of all Allies, including Russia. No doubt, at time like this, all kinds of reports and pro- posals on German surrender will be rife and will only represent the desperate situation of the enemy His Majesty's Government has nc information to give about any of the reports at the moment, but it must be emphasized only uncon- ditional surrender to the three major powers will be entertained and that the closest accord pre- vails between the three powers.
