GERMANY Is now a country
VI divided into at least four
and possibly Ave parts. 1t is
actually country without
government, although in its va
rious parts. conouering military
organizations are in control.
Economically. Germany Is
reduced to zero. There is no
industry, no agriculture. no
banking. no currency Of value.
Germany's defeat on the eco
nomic side is as complete as on
the military side.
In the diplomacy Of the last
half century, Germany sought
10 become a region OF nations.
In this the Germany from Bis
marck 10 Hitler succeeded in
no small measure.
Al its lowest point terri
torially. Germany headed an
Axis which included Italy and
Japan, with such countries as
Spain and the Argentine closely
affiliated.
At IT'S highest point, Germany
controlled almost the whole OF
Europe and was in alliance with
Soviet Russia.
Nov Germany is an anarch-
~ istic small state, governed
willy-nilly by aliens.
The Nazis, having murdered
or spiritually destroyed or ex-
lied Germany's democratic or
even non-democratic but pro-
gressive leaders, have left their
country devoid of persons ca
pable OF forming a government.
The only coherent group re-
naming are the Communists
and the German generals situ-
ated in Moscow since Stain
grad.
This group, headed by Will
helm PECK. the German Com
munist. and Field Marshal
Frederick Won Paulus may be
able TO form a government.
But that would be a puppet
Russian government.
No comparable group exists
in the United States or Great
Britain.
It may he summarized that
Germany is at the moment as
bankrupt in personalities as in
economics.
COME speak of a hard" or 4
~ soft" peace. Such designa-
tions are meaningless.
The fact is that whftever Is
left Of the German people. per.
hsps some $4,000. 900, are under
foreign rule.
Certainly, the United State,
and Great Britain will not want
to remain in Germany forever.
France, on the OF her hand
may seek q prolonged occupa
ton OF the Ruhr. which woult
give France q modern industrial
base. while Russis may seek I,
include her area In the Russian
region.

been clarified and may not b,
