And with this gallant observation

Several years ago he had lost his

Whereupon, Mr.. Cooper gave her
a reSounding smack and remarked,

Thus il all happened in six weeks,
and Mr.. Cooper, who cooked for him
self for 26 years, said he wasn't going
TO any more, and Mrs. WeSpatet said
that giving up her job was honey

going 10 take trip but stay right
there in her threeroom cottage.
So on the appointed day she put

pink roSebuds and carnations, and
Mr. Cooper finished with the trees

suit, a brown and cream cravat and
a white carnation and joined the Rev.
Seidenspinner at the brides house.

wreck trade unions and the whole con-
cept of civilization, unless we hand
them over to be slave workers of others,
in which case they become competitors.
The concept of unconditional surren-
der means, as we see it, the uncondi-
tional surrender of whole states and
reveals the illimitable nature of modern
war. 1t is not the old game wherein
one side when beaten pays reparations
and loses territories, after which every
one shakes hands.
The difficulties with military govern
ment after such surrender is that it
imposes burdens upon the victor for
which there is no preparation or pre-
cedent. Thus the Germans, having un-
conditionally surrendered in fact by
conquest, will either bring their prison.
ers home or will have the victors feed
ing them, whereas the victors will have
to stay abroad to enforce victory or
run the risk of losing it.
Even this war makes no differences
between warrior and civilian homes
and military emplacements. The next
one, if it hapens for any reason what
soever. will find the present bomber
obsolete. 1t viii be fought by robots in
the form OF rocket bombs bearing eX-
plosives thousands of times more power

cape.
This being so. any war to enforce
peace will be just as calamitous as any
other kind of war. The veto power
negates the idea of making war in the
name of peace unless all the great pow
ers decide together to prevent or sup
press the aggression of a small country,
and that is most unlikely. In the greater
world picture small nations are pawns
in the game of great powers.
BY insisting on the veto, Russians
have checkmated the whole Dunbar
ton Oaks scheme by taking out it's
chief pillar. But this is most danger

also quite possible that he is now acting
as the mouthpiece of some of the mill
tary leaders, who are honestly trying to
save Germany from further loss of life
and further devastation and who are
making use of whatever authority the
name and position of the deputy fuehrer
may still command
The military situation itself presents
other enigmas. The crushing thrust of
the United States 7th Army into the
heart of Bavaria, the news that our
troops have entered Munich and the
report that Russian and American
troops have linked up in the Danube
Valley may be compared with the swift
onrush of the Allied forces in Italy,
where they are already across the Adige
and approaching the Brenta. Virtually
all Northern Italy except the Alpine
region of the northeast is clear of the
enemy.
But this also means that perhaps as
many as 100000 of Germany's best
troops have retired into the Alps-that
is, into the so-called Southern Re-
doubt" We have taken over 100000
prisoners in Italy. but the rest of the
German 10th and 14th Armies, tried
and capable mountain fighters, may
have joined forces with the SIS troops
already in the Southern Redoubt."
How many are there, all told, and
what is their fighting spirit for the fu-
ture? Another uncertainty. We should
be wise not to assume too readily that
they mean to surrender, or that they
will do so even at Hinmler's orders.
They may, or they may not.
1t does seem certain that the speed
and power of the concentric Allied at
tacks from east and west and south
have cut off good many troops from
retreat into the mountains, and may
have broken up beyond hope of re-
construction the German plans for
final stand. 1t may be that this mill
tary condition is the reason behind
Himmlers decision to try to surrender.
But we just do not know, and until
we do know a great deal more about
the conditions inside Germany than we
do now we must go on fighting, we must
go on hitting the enemy as hard as we
can.

ment would prefer to see nature rather
than judges and jury take care of
"Paffaire Petain." According to reports
from reliable quarters, there is docu-,
mentary proof which the old marshal
could produce to show that at the time
Gen. de Gaulle was being created as
the savior of France in London, the
British government actually had signed
an agreement with the old soldier pro-
viding that Britain would leave Frances
colonial empire untouched in exchange
for Petain's efforts not to allow the
Nazis to establish themselves in North
Africa and for the promise to scuttle
wished to take it over.
So far as the United States Govern
ment is concerned, we had open diplo-
matte relations with Marshal Petains
government until the invasion of North
Africa on November 7, 1912.
There is not a single American official
who was stationed at Vichy or in the
V1chy-controlled areas who will not tes-
tlfy, If necessary, to their confidence in
the loyalty of Marshal Petain. Out
Wardly the relations between these

French state were correct and cool. But
IN TACT there was much underground"
contact between them. In 1910 and l941
Petaln and the assassinated Admiral
Darlan expressed a good deal of skep-
tlclSm about an Allied victory, and ex-
plalned to the American representatives
that they had to watch themselves lest
France should be taken over entirely by
the Germans
But they did not conceal their distrust
and hatred of the Germans whom they
had TO appease at any price The Amer
lean Government received from Admiral
Darlan similar understanding as the
British obtained from Marshal Petain
that the French navy would never fight
against the Allies and would be scuttled

lantlc coast and about the conditions
OF production within the Reich was
obtained by the official representatives
during the years when we maintained
diplomatic relations with the then
French government.
The old marshal will be able to bring
these matters out if he is ever tried bv
court of justice in France. And his
prosecutors are fully aware that his de-
tense will be a political shell which
might not be too pleasing either for
some of Frances allies or for Gen. de

nlent waving their right to retro
active pay and consenting to
blackliSting which would prevent
them from ever again becoming
member of any CIO union. The in
tent obviously was to intimidate the
Timken employees so that they would
be afraid to avail themselves of the
escape clause.
When the board learned of this
irresponsible and disgraceful union
activity it might have denied the
local the benefit of any maintenance
clause on the ground that the un-
worthiness of the local had been
abundantly demonstrated But the
board was content merely to order
another fifteen-day escape period
during which those who might have
been intimidated in the first in
stance should be free to resign.
This leaves the discredited union in
control of those workers who do not
resign, and it is worth noting that
the two CIO members of the board,
who, according to Secretary of Labor
Perkins, actually represent the pub
lie, voted against even this mildest
of mild penalties.
1t is clear from this record that
the War Labor Board is not willing
to hold unions to reasonable stand
ards of responsibility. And if it per-
sists in refusing to deal sternly with
manifest union abuses it should
anticipate continuing loss of public
support.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thombson

LONDON,-My own view of the veto
power put into the Dumbarton Oaks
proposals at Yalta by the Russians is
that this alone is likely to be a de-
terrent to war. The idea of sovereign
states enforcing peace by bringing force
to prevent aggression will not bear ex-
animation, since the great powers could
not yet conceivably agree upon a COM
mon law under which to live.
Because they entertain radically diff
ferent concepts of civilization, the def
milton of aggression and the vote to
prevent it by force always will be de-
termlned by national interests alone.
If any two great powers with the
smaller states could decide to enforce
peace against a third great power, en-
forcement of peace would become in fact
world war If any two great powers
should decide to prevent the aggres-
sion of a small power under the pro-
lection of great one the great power
backing the small one also would bring
about world war. The effect of veto
which any great power can bring against
the decision of others thus stalemates
the possibility of not going to war at all,
but OF going to war in the name of
. t.
In the modern world where consid-
Grafton must be given to the frame of
mind Of broad masses of people. the
only wars which have the slightest
chance of popular support are those
Waged in the name of peace and those
repelling and preventing aggression.
The masses seldom understand the
intricacies of diplomacy. The veto right
will, however, make it impossible for any
country to go to war for a righteous
reason set forth under the name of
sanctions. Enforcing peace by prevent
ing an aggreSSor's war, itself the great
est atroclty of this chronological age,
becomes senseless when cities. industries
and strategic positions are not only cap
tured but are obliterated, after which
the destroyers run away.
The conquest of the nation thus be-
comes in fact conquest of populated
wilderness wherein the victors have the
problem of feeding millions, combating
epidemics, restoring transport, and pro-
viding work without industries-in other
words, paying dearly for victory.
In this war we already have $3.50, 900
prisoners to feed unless we make them
slave workers, in which case we will
