LABOR AS PREPARATIONS
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
The demands of six European nations
for German and Italian labor to repair
damages wrought by the Axis war ma
chine, appear both just and reasonable
Despite the cruel injustices and inhu-
manities imposed on their peoples by the
Nazi slave labor plans, the nations -
France, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg,
Yugoslavia, and Greece-seek no forced
labor. Rather would they recruit pris-
oners as voluntary workers to be paid in
German marks supplied by Germany
Russia not bound by the Geneva con-
vention (Which call for repatriation of en-
emy prisoners within a specified period
after the wars end), already has i'm
pressed many thousands of German
workers into service, and is seeking in
all some ten million. The Russians have
denied they intend to copy German
methods
There can be no questions as to Rus
sia's right to- reparations for her devas-
tated areas. Also, in view of German
feeling toward Russia, it hardly could
be expected that a voluntary recruit
ment program would work in her case
However, a forced labor draft raises
grave problems.
1t may be that after trial, some ma
tions would reject the human repara-
tions" project, as France did after World
War |, particularly if widespread un-
employment should prevail at home.
Then, too, labor organizations may OBJ
ject.
Use of German labor undoubtedly
holds high place on the agenda of the
Allied Preparations Commission in Mos
cow, which has yet to hold its first meet
! ing. Whatever decisions are reached, it
is highly desirable that an Allied super
visory body be established to safeguard
human rights.

THANKS WELL JUST
KEEP PEGGING ALONG

There is an old saw that goes some
thing like this: "None are as ignorant as
those who will not learn"
We would advise Moscow news cor
respondent at the peace meeting to con-
slider the saying as an answer to his ad
vice to his people to refrain from reading
the American newspapers because they
do not represent freedom Of thought
This writer, who is at the UNCIO for
Izvestia" the Soviet-controlled official
newspaper published in Moscow, is quite
wrought up because American newsmen
are circumscribed in their writings by
what he describes as 'commercialism."
He sees the same condition as to the
British press. He is trying to ape Harold
Ickes and others of his ilk in trying to
indict the American press as "kept." Un-
doubtadly Ickes' creeds have reached even
Moscow and the Red correspondent has
fallen for the old chestnut.
Said the "Izvestia" writer on the Amer
lean press in his dispatch to Moscow: "A
newspaperman trembling for his position
can not always write what he thinks. If
his convictions do not correspond to those
Of his publishers and editors his dis
patches remain unpublished" And he
infers that the publisher must decide ac
cording to the dictates of those who are
clients of the paper.
1t is too bad that the peace meet has not
been school for inculcating the great
American idea of free press. 1t would
be helpful if the UNC1O could empha-
size the need for worldwide free press
such as ours as a war deterrent.
If the Moscow scribe would take the
time to scan the files of any newspaper
through the last political campaign he
would know better. Or through any other
period of time. He would have found
any number of instances where an editor,
for instance, supported candidates whom
the publisher and owner opposed, and
the columns Of any newspaper would re-
veal news writings completely marked
by freedom of thought of the writer's.
We are not ready to accept the ideas
of a writer of a government controlled
press as to the freedom Of the press of
America.

WASHINGTON, May %. CUP)
administrator leaders assured
the nation Monday that there would
be no economic collapse during the
reconversion period but instead a
swiftly expanding civilian economy
in which small business would be
given every possible encouragement.
Throughout the period between
wars, they stressed, the emphasis
will be on easing up government
production controls to let the forces
of free enterprise and competition
get back to work.
A highly optimistic report on the
nations immediate economic future
was given by War Production Chair
man j. A. Krug, who said the coun-
try was much better prepared for
reconversion now than it was in
1918.
Krug predicted that one year from
today United States factories will
be- turning out durable civilian goods
at an annual rate of S16,700, ,00o
80 per cent higher than in 1889
Krug said many workers would
not even have to shift jobs. Of some
81 100000 civilian workers now en-
ployed, he declared, 46,600,0t0 are
in JOBS that will continue regardless
of war production.
Krug said the production program

The entire food situation would not
have been the pressing and disturbing
element in the chaotic world today had
some one of Hoover's experience and abil-
ity been placed at the head of single

inept, inexperienced and ignorant persons
have made a mess of it all.

BELATED RECOGNITION
OF ABLE CITIZEN

Partisan or not of Herbert Hoover few
there will be out of line with President
Truman in his invitation to the former
presidentsto come to the white house for
a conference on the food situation in this
country and the world at large, and no
doubt on other perpleXing questions of
the day
Truman has broken the 12-year pc
rod of administration hatred of the for
mer executive. The President, in the bid,
further indicates that he must, and will,
call upon anyone of real ability and
knowledge TO assist in meeting present
problems and in mapping a pattern of
solution for those ahead. In this attitude
he makes straight departure from the
policies Of his predecessor.
There were many occasions when the
Roosevelt administration could have
served the public better had he been able
to forget political animosities and muster
the best brains of the country.
Instead, he surrounded himself with
theorists, dreamers and spenders. Few
presidents have failed to give their worst
political enemies and opponents respon-
sible places in their administrations. Lin
coin was outstanding in that policy.
The announcement from the white
house said Truman wants to consult with
Hoover specifically on the food problem.
He we'll might expand the talks to world
peace problems in general. 1t can not be
denied that Hoover has as firm and as
comprehensive grasp of the world prob

Chinese Retake
Strategic Port

CHUNGKING, May % U.P0-
Chinese troops have recaptured the
strategic inland treaty port of Nam
ming in southern China, cutting the
japanese continental corridor into
Indio-China, q communique said
Sunday night.
The fall of the city, capital of
Kwangsi province and former site
of an American air base, Sunday
morning was believed largely due to
the Japanese overall policy Of with
drawing from southern China.
Manning was taken by the Jap
anese last November during an eight
months drive to establish a corri-
dor from Korea to Singapore.
Other Chinese troops also were
threatening to cut the corridor at

President Seen
As Umpire in
Near East Row

LONDON, May %. CUP)-Diplo-
matte sources said Monday that
President Truman may be called
upon to mediate the explosive dis
pute between France and the Syrian
and Lebanese republics.
The diplomatic correspondent of
the London Daily Telegraph said
Mr.. Truman's aid might be sought
to prevent further bloodshed in the
crisis, which already has inflamed
the Arab world.
The crisis stemmed from Frances
reinforcement of her garrisons in
Syria and Lebanon in what the
governments of the two Arab states
denounced as a violation of their
independence. -,
New developments in the situa-
ton included:
Syria was reported to have or
dered the mobilization of all men
between Is and go.
2.-Radio Cairo said fire from the
French quarter of Aleppo killed six
natives and wounded eight others.
3.-Radio Ankara said all govern
ment buildings have been sandbag-
ged in Damascus, capital of Syria.
4.-French troops repeatedly were
withdrawn from HONS, Hama and
Aleppo to camps on the outskirts.
5.-The Arab league, union of
the Arab states of the Middle-east
will meet June 4 to discuss a joint
action in the matter
6-President Gen. Charles de
Gaulle said the question of French
reinforcements had been exagger-
ated and asserted that only three
battalions in all had been dispatch
&c to the two countries.
A5del Rahman Azzam, secretary
general of the Arab league, told
newsmen at Cairo that the situa-
ton steadily was worsening. French
forces have cut communications be-
tween large towns in the two coun1
tries and have placed troops at en-:
frances to them, he said.

VET HOSPITALS MAY SEEK
CIVILIAN AID IN CRISIS

Possibility that civilian hospitals
in Dayton and other cities through
out the United States may be called
upon to relieve the flood Of cases
in veterans hospitals was an
nounced in Washington last night.
John H. Ale, manager of the Day.
ton Veterans Facility, said he had
received no plans designed to al
leviate the situation here where
hundreds are on the waiting list.
Maj. Gen. Paul R. Hawley, acting
surgeon general of the Veterans
administration, said Army and
Navy hospitals with civilian hos
pitfalls would be called upon for a to-
tai Of 10000 beds to be available
by next fall.
He said 10000 civilian beds had
been promised by the American
Hospital Association in 3,4OO pri-
vate hospitals. Usual hospital fees
will be paid, General Hawley re-
ported, and local doctors will be
hired to care for the patients. Both
the Army and Navy have agreed
to furnish 10000 beds.
General Hawley announced re-
Gently that the bed shortage in Vet
erans hospitals is becoming more
critical, especially in metropolitan
centers. Currently $1,000 patients
are being cared for and the load is
increasing by 500 men per week.
The Navy already is caring for
2,235 discharged servicemen for
whom the Veterans Administration
had no beds. This number will be
included in the total beds to be pro-
vided by the Navy.
Borrowing hospital beds is tenn
porary, General Hawley said, pend
ing completion of additional hos
pitfalls planned to accommodate A.
900 beds in the next two years.
