tons until she is broken up into
small states, each with a demo-
cratic government such as Den
marks or SWitzerland's. This is
my conclusion after many years
experience with pre-Hitler Ger
many and careful study of the
Hitler era.
The Greater Germany, which
grew up under Bismarck and
later, Hitlers leadership, was
actually from the start only the
tool of a small minority, the
Junker lords in Prussia. The
Junkers used Hitler TO push
their dreams of world denomi-
nation. Now that Hitler is fin.
ished, they have retired to their
castles in Prussia to bide their
time.
Who are the Junkers and why
are they a menace? The junk
ers are members Of noble fam
lilies living in feudal castles in
the regions east of the Elbe Riv-
er. They are descendants of the
barbaric knights Of the Middle
Ages, who were simply highway
robbers. You cannot become a
Junker. You must be born one.
Junkers have a double set of
standards that is very useful in
keeping themselves in power.
Among themselves they ar.
charming, educated, decent. Blu,
to all who don't belong they
show arrogance and cruelty,
cheating and violence, as long as
ii helps the Junkers. This was
also Adolf Hitler's philosophy
for he was only a Junker tool.

CALLING THE SHOT

The first question put by on Cn9''S''-SPeuN'''S
Jop officer to members Of an American oooroln9
party inspecting japanese hospital snip was: IS
Babe Ruth still oive'"
II was q natural question about on athlete who
at one time was great hero to the Japanese Peo-
oIe Ruths reputation preceded him to Japan when
he went there with group Of other American ball
blowers in 1884 The Bobe lived up to his advance
notices. and he was troied by cheering thousands
wherever he went.
The Jops we're greet baseball enthusiasts, wheth-
er for love Of the game because OF their desire 10
emulate and equal American accomplishments IN
every field At any rate they prootIsed the game win
rather amusing seriousness. Many Of their players
achieved through this diligence considerable pro-
ficiencv in the mechanics Of the game. But it was
case of good field no hit. )" They just didn't have
the physical power to hit for distance.
And SO, to them, Babe Ruth not only hero
but symbol of that combination Of strength, ob'-
ity and oudocity which their players couldnever hope
to ottoin They may have shouted "Bonzoi' when
Ruth hit one out Of the park but they must oso have
felt deep envy Watching him, the more Peroept-
i've may have realized that, in other fields besides
baseball Americans could do things better and more
easily than the Jops, for all their striving.
Two wears before Ruth visited Japan he perform

japanese fans surely read Of that feet and morv-

their minds. For Admiral Hosey has stolen poge

at Japan os boldly and confidently as the Babe

where he was going to hit and proceeded to deliver.
He dared them to stop him. and they couldn't.
So there is dismal assurance to oil Japanese ball
fans thot Babe Ruth and the power and ability thot
he represented are still olive. With nations with
ball players, power and obility don't develop fully
over night. But they potentially there to start
with.
The Jops must know this And even though they
still have some turns at bat coming they must also
know what the final score will be.

steadier employment than the
government these days.
When even Harry Hopkins re-
signs, then you know nothing is
sure.
Latest of these designations, of
course, is Secretary of the
Treasury Henry w. Morgen-
thau's.
When Fred Vinson moves In,
he will no doubt want to reor-
ganize completely. That's what
they all do, from President Tru-
man on down.
Truman has asked Congress
for authority to reorganize the
whole government set-up, and
though Congress has shown no
hurry about granting his re-
quest, there just couldn't be more
reorganization than is going on
all over town right now. The
place is like circus grounds af-
ter the big show has struck its
tents at midnight to move on to
the next town. You don't see
how they'll ever get it together
again.
Advent of Justice F. Byrnes
as Secretary of State has started
a flock of rumors of forthcoming
wholesale reorganization.
One department of govern
ment and many job holders are
jumpy about their future. Gen
orally forgotten is the fact that
hte Department of State has al
ready been reorganized twice in
the last ID months, once in jan
uary, 1914, and again in Deem
Der when Secretary Edward r.
Stettinius took over with his
team"
Part of the big scramble in
State Department now is to try
to get taken along to London,
when Stettinius goes there to
work on the interim United Ma
tons Organization. Any of the
Stettinius team that gets let out
may try to tag along to UNO,
unless such action is vetoed by
the President and Byrnes.
Secretary of Commerce Henry
Wallace, who has been toying
with reorganization of his de-
partment since he took office last
January, still isn't ready to an
nounce his plans and won't be
for month or two. Shortly af-
ter Wallace took over, he asked
every division chief for an out
line of projects then being work

as the basis for the Wallace re-
