mandates commission established
under the old league of nations had
a grave defect" in that 'it could
tell you you must not do the wrong
thing, but it could not help you do
the right thing" He said that was
more 'the old theory of conolial
trusteeship than the modern con-
ception of colonial partnership"
Col. Stanley indicated that the
British proposals will take the form
of regional commissions patterned
after the successful methods devel-
oped by the Anglo-American Carri-

Concluding, he said: 1--WE cannot
share with others the administra-

to do so would be impracticable,
inefficient and undesirable. But in
discharging those responsibilities
we do want from others coopera-

Stanley HINTS SELF
GOVERNMENT FOR
BRITISH COLONIES
BY Ernest E. johnson

NEW YORK, Jan. 27 (ANP)-
Great Britain's universal objec-
tive" for it's colonies and territories
is "the achievement of the fullest
possible measure of self-govern-
ment within the empire :. as soon
as practicable. Moreover, ''it is a
dream of British commonwealth of
nations in which these colonial peo-
Piles will have their rightful place" "
Addressing himself to the SUBJ
ject Of British colonial policy, Col.
Oliver Stanley, British secretary of
state for the colonies, told the
American people at a dinner given
in his honor by the Foreign Policy
association of the development of
this policy and where the empire
hopes it will lead them.
Col. Stanley made it clear that he
had not come ito apologize" for
Britain's handling of 63 million in
habitants of it's colonial empire,
two thirds of which are areas in
Africa. In fact, he said, it is the
British presence alone which pre-
vents a disastrous disintegration'
among the many races and religions

ports of the way we discharge our
responsibilities.
"But ours is not merely a dream
of empire. It is a dream also OF hui
man beings and 60 millions of them
from all continents and of all creeds
and races, rich and poor, strong and
weak, marching along a straight
highroad, starting it may be at diff
ferent places, moving it may be at
different rates, but all certain to
reach their journeys end-dignity
and contentment and security"

of this vast and heterogeneous en-

of this vast and heterogeneous en-
pire.
In the fulfillment of it's objec-
tives, he asserted, Britain has con-
tinually sought to bring about Sc
curity Of life and property, rule of
law, political development, and fl
nally, social development. In con-
nection with the last of these Col.
Stanley declared that "the extent
to which we have gone varies enor-
mously," and added, 'I don't say
that there isn't room to give more"
He took occasion to correct two
things which popular opinion" at
tributes to them. 'In the first
place." he said, mo colony makes
any contribution to the British
treasury. No British taxpayer finds
his burden relieved to the extent of
single cent by the efforts of CO.
lonial population. The other, "there
has been no closed door to trade in
the colonial empire" He ac-
knowledged the system of imperial
preference but denied that its eff
feet has been to shut out world
trade for the protection of British
merchants.
Turning to the future Col. Stanley
focused attention on the question Of
self-government. ''That, you will
realize, does not merely mean the
devising of new constitutional ma
chinery," he explained. ut means
also those social developments
which are necessary to produce a
responsible community. Unless we
can do that we may, in handing
over our power, only hand it to a
local oligarchy no more democratic
and much less disinterested than an
alien bureaucracy. Unless it is to be
a government by the people, it had
better remain government by Brit
ain. There can be no true self-gov-
ernment if it is allied with perma-
nent financial dependence upon
others"
To this end he discussed the re-
cent elections in Jamaica as a step
in the developmental processes. The
Colonial Development and Welfare
act, enacted in 1910, was also Of
fered in furtherance of this pro-
gram. The empires plans for edu-
cation "in all it's aspects-higher
education, primary education and
the mass education of illiterates,
was still another step.
Indicating some mindfulness of
the weight colonial matters will
have in the solution and mainte-
nance of the peace, the British dig.

 A mountaineer must be able to climb, to bear terrible cold and terrible heat, to live without food for days, since supplies never ar- rive on scheduIe and sometimes not at all Also. he must carry with him about 100 pounds, exclusive of arms and ammunition. In short, mountain warfare means the ex- treme in physical strength and en- durance of each individual soldier.
 Parachutists can't do the job. The strange atmospheric conditions would result in extremely dispersed landings with one on one mountain top, the next one on the middle of the mountain, a third in the valle. etc. Gathering might take hours and before that each would be attacked and probably killed. The same goes for most mod ern weapons and Allied superiority of armament. It won't help here. All important points are underground and therefore bombproof Installa- tionS above ground are much toe

in natural caves. In and around Berchtesgaden are all the files. Minor and major government offi- cials live there.
 However, the new capital" of the Nazi party and its machinery is in Pullach, also in Bavaria. Here resides the S.S. Obergrup- penfuehrer Schaub, Hitler's ad- jutant, and numerous other party leaders. Still others are expected shortly.
 There are discussions and con- tradictions about the extent of Reduit and the frontiers to be de- fended Some place even Munich and Vienna inside Reduit. How ever, I am informed from reli- able source that this is not so Mu- mich and Vienna simply are within the approach of Reduit, but will ot course he defended for this reason Tho real Reduit is smaller than is generally believed.
 Within Reduit are the towns of Innsbruck and SalZburg, each with a population of 80,000, and Bolzano and Trient, each with about 50,O00 people. It contains the Bavarian and Salzburg Alps,

the Dachstein Mountains and the Tauern Mountains. It is the unanimous opinion that these ter ritories with their countless pass es and valleys, will be extremely difficult to conquer.
 The terrain makes it necessary to win one position after another, one mountain after the other. From a strategic viewpoint this will require another island hop ping" campaign. A victory is only a local victory and doesn't mean that the rest of Reduit is any more en- dangered than before.
 TRAINED MOUNTAINEERS
 It is expected that the Germans will have about 50 divisions in side Reduit. The most important fact is that these divisions arc trained mountaineers and have lately received even more spe- cialized training by Austrian and Bavarian generals, experts in mountain warfare.
 Our great drawback is that the Allies don't have mountaineers, except for few French divisions Experts stress the fact that moun- tain warfare is completely differ

dispersed tO be targets for air raids Poison gas would be ineffective on account OG atmospheric conditions. Only on SO days a year could poison gas be used, and even then with ex- tremely doubtful results.
 There are, then, only two posi sible solutions. One is surround ing Reduit entirely with what one may call a cordon sanitaire. This is technically possible, but full of potential dangers. In the first place it would call for about two to three times as many Allied troops as the Germans have. Sec- ondly, 1t would drag out the war in- definitely. According to informa- tion, German supplies and arma- ment production inside Reduit is sufficient to last two years. Buf that means two years of constant fighting. If the Nazis are left rela. lively undisturbed, Reduit could survive perhaps double that time and this would greatly disturb, even render impossible, the establishment of new order in Europe. In . physical sense Reduit is in the mid- dle of the continent It Is in a post. ton to disturb the peace by launcr. ing V-bombs. Os long as HiClA' lives and Goebbels b cd NcAats, the Nazi underground every NSnUxv VII continue to fight.
 CASINO 1OOO-FOLD
 Which leaves only the solution of taking Reduit step by ss1p mountain by mountain. Take Casino a thousand fold and you get an idea of the immensity of this task. The Allies will need 8 superiority of at least five to onn. The old Anglo American prin- ciple of saving human lives will have to be abandoned if Reduit is to be taken in less than two years. Even if we proceed with utter reckless ness, chances are not for an early victory there, mainly because the lacg of mountaineers might cause long delay.
 These. I repeat, are the views of military expert who is by no means an alarmist. In evaluat- ing them we must not forget that Switzerland possesses the worlds bent mountaineer army. This army, incidentally, will guard the eastern frontier of Reduit, which is the east ern frontier of Switzerland. We may discount rumors that the Nazis will try to break through into Switzer- land. They are much too afraid of l the Swiss mountaineer army.

 Berne. Switzerland, March 26- The most painful and bloody part of the war may still be ahead, ac- cording to militar yauthorities here. Witnesses comsng from Germany speak unanimously of numerous in- dications that the Nazis will soon retire into their last Apline fortress, popularly called Reduit.
 This means that the greater part of Germany will be given up, but no matter what the Allied gov- ernments may declare, 1t will not be the end of the war.
 Among many indications that Reduit soon Is to become active are the following:
 In spite of constantly increasing shortages of material on both fronts, only a few trains are go- ing in the direction of the fronts. The vast majority of German freight trains now are going south ward toward the Alps.
 Almcst the entire files of vari- ous ministries and numerous party organizations lately have been moved to the Alps. The gold of the Reichsbank also is said to be there
 WIVES MOVE TOO
 Wives of prominent Nazis, with out exception, have moved into the Tyrol or Bavarian mountains. Ru- mors which jlaced Mrs. Goering and Mrs. Goebbels in Switzerland are definitely false.
 Numerous S.S. units, almost none of which still are at any front, have been located in the Alps, too.
 Inside Reduit everything cen- ters around Berghof, Hitler, fa- nous home. Construction work there has long been finished. Berghof has become genuine town with underground channels leading far away. The town is sur- rounded by heavy artillery, anti-air- craft and machine gun nests, and is guarded by an entire SS. division. Obersalzberg, which contains the Hitler observatorium Adlerhorst about $500 feet high, has become a real chain of fortresses. Most of the Qualifications are inside the rocks

 Everyone who has listened to Ethel Barrymore broadcasting as Miss Hattie" via the Blue Network on Sunday afternoons, or who has seen the Great Lady on the stage or in pictures, is aware of her ability as an actress.
 Too few people know that Miss Barrymore is also an accomplished pianist, having given recitals with the larger symphony orchestras when still in her teens. Proof of Miss B's musical knowledge came last Sunday when she walked into New York's Vanderbilt theater for first rehearsals of her Miss Hattie, program. AS Miss Barrymore came on to the stage, one of radios bet ter known pianists was practicing the Moonlight Sonata" which was to be included in that days script. Even before she removed her coat and hat, Miss Barrymore was over at the piano saying, Sorry, my man, you're playing that in the wrong tempo!" She then asked him to move over, and proceeded to play the entire Sonata" with all the skill of 8 master! 
 Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey will merge their. respective orchestras for series of records which will be cut for servicemen overseas. Benny Goodman's new orchestra currently on the road will return to New York at the end of the month for radio and stage commit ments. Gene Krupa will not break up his band as previously reported
 One of Orson Welles' most ardent admirers is crooner Frank Sinatra, who's been a booster for radios boy wonder" ever since Frank tuned in on Welles' nation-scaring broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" a few years ago. On the other hand, Welles, now narrator actor on the weekly This Is My Best" program, was impressed by Sinatra's performance in a dram atic role on a recent CBS "Sus- pense" broadcast and wants Frank to appear with him in a This Is My Best" drama.
