1t is highly probable that with
American organization to guide the
people this area will be the first to
regain a fairly normal life.
If we don't help the Germans,
we'll be criticized for fumbling; the
occupation will be made more diff
icult. If we do help. we will be
under heavy criticism from the peo-
pies Of less fortunate areas and
charged with treating the former
enemy better than we treat our
friends.
The British operate In a far less
favorable area, for they have the
bombed-out Ruhr on their hands and
they control a territory whose exist
ence depended on industries which
no longer exist and which will not
be permitted to exist in the future.
Such factories as they can operate
to make the community self-sup-
porting may well be equipped in part
with stolen machinery.

With the fanfare accompanying the
first steps of the occupation Of Japan
now dying on the Pacific breezes,
some hints of the heavy responsible
ties Of Uncle Sans European
problems begin to appear.
Already the small nations which
were occupied by the Axis and
whose peoples resisted the Nazi-Fas-
cist yoke are being heard from in
a rising chorus of complaint and
criticism against the Allies.
Belgium and Holland are perhaps
loudest in their charges of what they
feel is discrimination against them
in favor of their former enemy
%neighbor. but voices are raised as
far away as Greece and Yugoslav-
ia, which say that Germany and
Italy should not receive material
assistance on the same basis as the
o~nce-occupied countries.
The charges from Holland are the
most specific. The Netherlands gov
eminent has presented claims for a
share in both the external and in
ternal assets of Germany as repara-
tons. The note handed the Allies
asks for immediate return of loot
now within the occupied zones in
Germany, which the Dutch claim is
listed and identifiable. They say that
parts of their country were stripped
bare of capital and consumer goods;
that some of the former, such as
machinery, is now being used to the
advantage of the Germans.
In addition to the formal protest,
Col. j. c. A. Faure, deputy chief Of
staff of the Netherlands civil affairs
administration, was quoted in Lon
don as saying that the Allied mill
tary governors yer playing into
German hands when they prevented
the Dutch, Belgians and French

chinery and other property stolen
from them by the Nazi armies.
He said that protests to SHAEF,
while it existed, were fruitless land
when the new child (the British and
American occupation organization)

planned it was understandable that
since the Allied commanders in their
respective spheres have their hands
full in creating order out of chaos in
Germany, each wants to do a good
job, and for that reason doesn't want
to lose any material aid that will
help. But that doesn't provide much
comfort for the Dutch or Belgian
farmer who looks across the from
tier and sees a German peasant driv-
ing home a COW which he swears he
knows is his by its crumpled horn
and the spot on its rump. The same
applies to the factory owner who is

\AIHAT was expected to be a

Taxation with the congress in recess
here In Washington, turned out to
be a period Of ~tenseness and SOL
emnlty, punctuated by one wild
hilarious Victory celebration. Now,
with congressman back from their
shortened vacation. everything is
hustle and activity to cope with the
expected emergency due to sudden
peace.
What was predicted to happen
has happened. The end of the Jap
war came before congress expected
it would come, and the country finds
itself in the ~predicament of unpre-
paredness for peace and
sion.
While plans for reconversion on all
the home fronts will occupy the
minds Of congress and heads of gov
ornamental units here, there is one
factor the members of congress
learned about out in their home
towns during their vacation. 1t will
have an important bearing upon
what they do, and how soon, toward
preparing the nation for peacetime
economy. And that important factor
is impotence in the minds Of the
American people.
Leaders here see ahead a public
sentiment which will brook no
fumbling at the hands of congress.
During wartime the people have e
manned as a unit, held in check by
the spirit of patriotism. But the
small gripes and %irritations which
the people stood for in wartime will
develop into full-blown bellows in
peacetime, since the general public
is pretty well fed up on restrictions
and RECOMMENDATION. Members of
congress found out that this spirit
is rampant. They also found out
from returning veterans that they
are ready to take their places in
civilian ranks, eager and willing to
say just what they think. They
know what they want, and in all
probability some 1000, 900 or 8,OOO,-
900 of them will be home by this
time next year, ready to play their
part in the 1916 elections. And that
part may be troublesome to some
congressman. as,,.

Lobor's Demands

The powerful labor lobby already
is busy demanding of congress the
full-employment bill; the bill raising
minimum wages from As to IS cents
an hour; a permanent fair employ
ment practice committee; the Muir
ray Missouri Valley authority meas
lure and additional valley authorities
on other rivers; the Wagner-Murray
amendments to the social security
act; the bill providing for allotments
and improvements of feeder high
ways; the airport improvement bill
backed by the CAA; the equal pay
bill for women; and a national hous-
ing program. 1t is also urging the
government to indorse the principle
of the guaranteed annual wage.
Agriculture has some 20 bills in
the congressional hopper, but the de-
partment of agriculture will place its
heaviest backing in favor Of the
school lunch bill; the Flanagan bill
to combine farm credit and farm Sc
curity agencies into an Independent
agency; the Lucas REA bill, but
minus the Shipstead amendment
which makes REA an Independent
agency; the LANCER bill taking the
lid off size of debts which the de-
partment may adjust; the Missouri
Valley authority bill, and the Aiken
food allotment bill similar to the old
food stamp plan measure.

Only Small Slump

Whatever the congress does to
ease the nation into a peace
time economy with as little a jolt
as possible, leaders here see
months of uncertainty, with at least
some unemployment, some idle fac
tories ahead. They do not expect a
downsWing comparable to the de-
preston of the early 1905. AS a
matter of fact, there may be 40
more unemployment than there was
in 1888 and 1889 before we entered
the war and the nation became
geared to wartime production. But
whatever happens, there will be Ia
Dor dislocations during the fall and
winter months which will lower pur-
chasing power and cause consider
able lag in peacetime production.
The first thing President Truman
wants from congress is the power to
reorganize and streamline the gov
ornamental agencies. Immediately
upon his return from Potsdam, the
President sharply reversed the poll
cy of Chairman Krug of the WPB,
who was inclined to let indus
try scramble for itself. So WPB will
continue to allocate materials and
machines to civilian industries with
the idea of making as many jobs as
possible. The President also wants
action on the full-employment bill,
and on his recommendation for
emergency unemployment compen-
isation for workers laid off due to
war cut-backs. War orders were cut
overnight about S33, 900, 900, 900, more
than one-half the total, and the
heaviest hit we're the airplane and
ship : building industries. In other
words, war orders, which have been
amounting to approximately S45, O0O,-
900, 600 annually, will be reduced to
$40, 900, 900, 900 by January, 1916.

|on|y 1900 Requests
For Army Insurance
Rejected, Hines Says
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veter-
ans administrator. said today that
of 16,9S4, 1868 applications for ma
tional service life insurance exactly
10, 700 had been rejected for all rea-
sons" through last February.
Replying to recent criticism voiced
by Representative Philbin, Democrat
Of Massachusetts, Gen Hines added
that any of those rejected before
April IL, l943, were given an addi-
tional 120 days to apply for insur-
ance without any health require
ment. During that period. he said,
many here and abroad did apply
for and were granted insurance"
Gen. Hines did not mention Mr.
Philbin by name, but said in a
press release that his attention had
been called to "a published state
ment wherein it was represented
that approximately 100000 service
men overseas are reported AS
having been denied Government
life insurance"
Mr.. Philbin in a statement last
Monday mentioned that number as
repeatedly denied insurance because
of physical condition. Mr.. Philbin
later in the day amended his state
ment to read 10000 servicemen.
Gen. Hines. noting that the orig
inal l20-day period for applying for
national service life insurance has
been extended twice to allow some
men up to $50 days, added that the
insurance fund is a trust fund.
1T would not" he asserted, "be
properly administered if impaired
risks were taken in, and would
manifestly be unfair to those who
had qualified for such insurance"

Preventing Future Wars
BRETON WOODS

Now that the Allied armies are sweeping through
Germany now that the in Europe is being won
and victory in the Pacific assured it is time to
prepare for peace. For victory alone not enough as
we learned after the last war Not only must the war be
won, but the peace must be built it must be built
solidly, built to endure
After the last war; we fell down badly on the Job of
building the peace. We did not work out effective
political machinery to call halt to political aggres-
sion. And did construct economic machinery
to create sound basis for world prosperity.
Because we lacked the machinery for joint economic
action, each nation of the world forced to strive
blindly for itself World commerce was soon poisoned
with national ealousies and national sharp-practice.
The marts of trade were transformed into arenas Of
economic warfare.
The deterioration of world economic relations -.
the collapse of foreign investment the selfish mani pu-
lation of national currencies, and the dsntegraon
of international trade into primitive barter these
things did not by themselves bring on the second
World War. But they did set the stage for it.
