NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-P)-Cot.
ton futures rallied in late dealings
today as aggressive mill buying
and short covering met scarcity
Of offerings. Final prices were
higher. The market trend was
dominated by evening-up opera
tons in October, following issuance
of nine transferable notices.
Circulation Of the notices induct-
ed considerable liquidation and
switching from October to later
months which held rallying tenden-
cles. When the notices had been
taken up by the trade, the market
turned firm.
Some new buying was attracted
to the distant months which are
selling more than cent a pound
under the near positions. Spot cot
ton markets were quiet and steady.
The smaller crop prospects and
expectations of broad export in

Ing influences.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

MUNICH.-A statement issued from
Washington June 5, according to Stars
and Stripes, says, with Germany's un-
conditional surrender there is no longer
any central authority in Germany ca
pable Of accepting responsibility for the
maintenance OF order, administration of
the country and compliance with the
requirements of the victorious powers"
This Is true, but it is also true there
is no adequate Allied authority. nor is
one possible without a fundamental
Allied policy regarding not only Ger
many, but Europe as whole.
The report further describes the divi-
sion of Germany into four zones, in each
of which supreme authority is to be
exercised by zone commanders on the
instruction of their governments, with
the four commanders together consti-
tuting control Of the council
This plan will work only II political
agreement of those in control and coun-
sci regarding their objective can be
achieved. If purely administrative, 1t
is bound to fail. for all administration
must be directed to purpose. That
purpose either can be positive-the re-
construction of healthy, sound demo-
cratic Europe which is impossible with
out health in all parts, or it can be
negative-an attempt, which will prove
futile, to reconstruct separate Allied ma
tions without regard to the whole Euro
pean picture.
Plainly the tendencies Of centrifugal
force are moving toward European
atomization. Austria is strongly sepa-
ratist, as it has been urged to be by
the powers, although, after quarter of
century of experience, it is not hope
full for long term success. Other parts
OF the Germanic world also are trying
to break away. Thus the first political
activity to break loose was that of
Bavaria in an attempted putsch as the
American armies approached Munich.
1t Is likely separatism also will be
encouraged by the French in the west
ern zone. AL parts of Europe are vehe-
mently nationalist down to provincial
nationalisms, and each is producing
leaders urging separatism from one
country to themselves or from unity
to independence.
1t makes no difference whether the
leaders are leftist or rightist. Tito, for
example, while urging Yugoslav unity

independence movements are work.
ing underground on Austrian soil. Sep
aratisms meanwhile compete with pan
movements of one sort or another-for
instance, pan-Fenchism in the former
French colonies and in Eastern Europe.
Despite rs Yeas of Communist theory,
pan-Slavism-Which together with pan
Germanism hal been the curse of Eu-
rope. each naturally fomenting the
others apparently supported by the
Soviets, openly by Tito, and recently
has been joined by the Czechs. who in
this would never receive the blessings
OF their national founder, Thomas Mas
aryk.
Italy, which after the longest dose of
Fascist imperialism has lost interest
even in its Afrran colonies, is having
national revinl, thanks to Tito.
But millions d people are individual
separatists. Gemans in the millions
have separated themselves from the
Russian zone. although as zones orig
inally were dr,wn, the Russian zone
contained considerably more than a
third OF the German population-it is
doubtful whether the present larger
zone contains een a fifth of the Ger
man civilians, while prisoners of war
are far more numerous in the western
areas. LithuanAns, Estonians, Slovaks,
Poles and man Ukrainians who came
as soldiers or aave workers into West
ern Europe nov are trying to disappear
amongst the western peoples rather
than return hune.
Chaos likely Is to be increased by the
autonomous farm of zone occupation.
Commanders. eft to handle their own
problems with,ut more than inconclu-
sive attempts At coordination, naturally
will concentrate on their own territories,
disregarding oalers But this means fur
ther atom:zatbn.
The economic question which is pre-
eminent cannt, of course, be solved in
this way, nor can political atomization
momentarily be avoided. Economic Bal
kanization certainly must be, unless the
mounting collapse satanically planned
by Hitler as aresult of his downfall be-
comes realty.

Letters to The Star
Racetrack Conventions Com.

AN0S~a avn N<oANClIlIOlS NOIHs
pared With Those Not Held
To the Editor Of The Star:
On June 8 a group of mining engi-
neers met in Washington and discussed
for two hours the problem of how we
could hold a regional meeting Of divi-
sion of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers to
present papers and discuss important
mineral problems pertinan to the post
war reconversion era.
The problem involved was to make
the meeting effective and OF maximum
usefulness without violating the rule
established by the Government that reg
istration for such meetings, because of
transportation difficulties, must not ex.
ceed SO persons. Two days later we
read in the paper that $1,000 people,
with Government sanction, had met in
one place to see horse race.
1t makes one wonder about the basis
on which such decisions are made.
Why is a horse race so much more i'm
portant to the welfare of the country
than earnest discussion of specialists on
the supply problems of minerals es-
sential to the prosperity of the Nation
in the critical days ahead?

trusteeship commission there Is no
question that our Government would
comply with any request in the future
to surrender the territories to some
other power.
The islands which we have captured
after many bloody battles are essential
to the security Of the United States,
Had the American statesmen after
the World War insisted that they be
entrusted to this country it is doubt
1ul that the Pearl Harbor attack would
have ever occurred.
Tne American general staff is con-
cerned with the security of this coun-
try ana wishes to have these islands
as naval and air bases to ward of any
possible attack in the Pacific.
The solution suggested at San Fran
cisco that We be given a mandate or
trusfeeship over these vital bases un-
Ger the sponsorship of the trusteeship
commission of the World Security Or
gan1zatlon Is not to the liking of the
military men or large number of
Senators who realize thaat internation
al understanding is tickle matter and
good strong bases are the best assur-
ance for the maintenance of peace.
The Russians have set the example
Tor this theory the last two years when
they insisted on establishing for them

the United States.
The State Department, however. is
anxious to Place as few hindrances as
possible in the way of the San Fran

stark realities The departments rep
resentatives at San Francisco are in
clined to accept the solution of trustee

breach between the present members
OF the United Nations In any event.
they do not focesee the possibility that
the trusteeship commission might de-
eide to change The status Of the islands
after they have been placed under the
trust OF the United States.
The military and naval men think
differently. They have placed their view
before the American delegation and
hope for adoption of the new "Stassen
plan" which is ,aid to exempt the is
lands from truseeship commitments.

PHILOSOPHICAL Chuck

The bewhiskered, roly-poly wood
chuck has been a native of North
America for long time. Before the
Pale Faces came across the Big Pond
In their sail-powered canoes. the
Red Men had been making tasty
steWs OF wejack. Very likely the In
dlans considered this a fair exchange
for the beans and squashes that
Mota Monax requisitioned from their
gardens. There have been persons in
the not distant past who stoutly ac-
claimed the savoriness of woodchuck
stew and perhaps the empty meat
counters Of this era will induce the
countryman to try it.
Xejack is familiar and, on occa-
sioh, pestiferous part of the land
scape. When he sits upright on the
mound of fresh soil before the en-
trance to his burrow, he gives the
appearance of a benign. unhurried,
genial philosopher of the wild world.
He is plump and comfortable-look-
ing. But behind that deceiving air
of casual tolerance of mankind and
its foibles is keen and analytical
mind. Chuck is strategist of above
average ability. ....-...--
His mealtimes are usually the
early morning and just before sun

clover in the bayfield,. he knows

rives at his den without undue loss
of dignity few yards in advance of
