IL was clear that the party
In Congress was badly divided.
A vociferous group of recalcit-
rant young Turks were openly
defying the old guard leadership.
The party was permeated with
New Deal ideologies.
II was equally clear that any
party platform which might
emerge from the party caucuseS
in Was hington necessarily
would be a milk-and-water COM
promise signifying nothing. This
proved TO be the inevitable re-
suit.
When the wishy-washy plat
form was turned over To the

resentment on the part Of many

the West, who wanted the party

THE scenes of indescribable des-
pair and agony which attended
the enforced deportation of several
thousands of war refugees from
Swedish internment camps to Soviet
Russian territory were blot upon
the Swedish nation-and shock to
humanity as a whole.
The most horrifying aspects of
the incident are portrayed by press
reports
For more than week, the more
than three thousand prisoners had
conducted hunger strikes in vain
effort TO attract world attention TO
their plight.
WHEN this failed and the Swedish
w police and troops appeared at
the camp gates to carry out the de
portation order the last desperate
course of doomed men was taken in
MASS SUICIDE.

rOith kniUes, razors, bits of glass and
eUen sharp stones and sticks" wit
neSses reported
"Others stabbed themselves.
Many barracks soon Were
spl1shed tOith blood"
These helpless and hopeless men
took a tragic course because they
knew the sentence of deportation
was a SENTENCE OF DEATH, and
much worse.
Some of them, but by no means
all of them, were Germans who had
sought refuge in Sweden during the
war and had been interned in that
neutral country in accordance with
International law.
A great many Of them were
political refugees and exiles from
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and
from Poland and other European
countries occupied and subjugated
by Soviet Russia.
Representative Daniel F Flood
OF Pennsylvania identified them TO
the American Congress and the
American people in a recent speech
in the House Of Representatives.

Nazi Propaganda
Remains Strong

A report made public only week
or two ago reveals how "Naziism at
its blacklist" as the report describes
it, is being kept alive in a series of
resistance clubs" in Germany scat
tered from the North sea to the Ba-
varian mountains. Allied investiga-
tors have pieced together an appal-
ling picture of widespread activity
based upon race hatred, and other
Nazi principles with which the Ger
man youth has been so thoroughly
indoctrinated in a manner pointed
out in these columns some time ago
and which then said must be dealt
with eventually.
The offense is powerful, and the
weakness of our defense is illustrat-
ed in recen dispatches telling us

live In the world---of our very near,
thanks to Jet propulsion and atomic
energy, Il not always very dear
neighbors. Geography is also the
study Of the pursuits, the indus
tries of the people Of the world Its
grasp is essential if we are to bring
intelligent thought to judgment of
events and the conditions at home
and abroad and their effect upon
each other and upon us.
"And yet, geography was never
taught to our people," Mr.. Studebak-
er says. "We stop teaching 1t at the
eighth grade. The younger children,
from three to eight, are taught by
teachers who themselves never had
more than eighth grade instruction
in the subject"
And his second example Of one
of our educational products which
must be strengthened, economies.
belongs still less to the people. -
Only per cent of the high school
pupils ever studied economics, he in
formed me, and only per cent Of
these ever learned anything about
international trade.
''How can we possibly meet the
problems arising now if we do not
understand this subject? How can
we possibly maintain free enterprise
if we cannot pass considered iudg-
ment on the questions that the pa,
pers are full of every day? How can
person say whether a wage in
crease is fair if he has never studied
the simplest theories Of supply and
demand, or the more complicated
relations of wages, costs, profats?"
And in the international field, he
continued, how could person who
had never learned the fundamentals
of international trade know whether
tariff was justified, whether carr
tel was dangerous, whether certain
foreign business activities benefited
the people as whole, whether free
competition or government subsidy
was better policy? How could
they advise their congressman to
vote on the Breton Woods agree.
ment, or the policy of foreign loans?
Just as geography suffers because
its teaching ends before maturity is
reached (maturity in this sense is
1yno hi NJ ry1r
school age). economics is begun too
late. 1t is offered as a one-year,
high school course and boiled down
into such concentrated potion that
not only are vital elements omitted
(such as international trade) but it
becomes dry and highly abstruse
subject. Furthermore, since 1t is
often an elective "a subject l II touch
on in later article), it may be omit
ted entirely because it Is "hard."
These two subjects are only two

how Nazi propaganda is affecting the
viewpoint of the American army of
occupation. A major is reported as
doubling the truth of the atrocity
stories in the concentration camp of
Dachau located only a few miles
from where he was stationed. Amer
lean soldiers are heard parroting the
familiar Goebbels' fabrication that
Germany was forced into the war;
that Hitler had his faults but was
really great in many respects, or if
Hitler's glory is found to be too
strong a goat he is used as a scape-
goat to excuse German war guilt.
I have just come from a long talk
with one of Americas great educa-
tors, John Studebaker, United States
Commissioner of Education. 1t was
he who introduced me to the phrase,
''the new reconversion.
''Our democratic system is threat
ened from within and without" he
said to me earnestly. 1.-THE Amer
lean school gave our polyglot nation
the solidarity to carry on the war
successfully. But he added, "we
have severe tests ahead. We must
educate for freedom, and educate for
existence in a newly integrated
world of which we are an integral
part. We must understand our own
problem and the problems of 9TH
ers."
I couldn't help applying this the
ory to the stories from Germany.
A thorough understanding of democ-
racy is proof against Nazi propagan-
da. An understanding of other peo-
Piles and events beyond our borders
which affect us-as the rise of Hitler
and Mussolini affected us-would
make us deaf to German prevarica-
tons and excuses.
In order to meet the threats
against democracy from within and
from without, Mr.. Studebaker be-
lieves, with most of his colleagues,
that our present educational system
will have to be thoroughly removal
ed. Both the plant and the product
must be remodeled," he says.
He chose two subjects-geography
and economics-as examples of how
the product must be altered.

This is the first of two articles on
the subject of the "new reconver-
Stony
In the last two months the public
has learned a lot about the impor-
lance of industrial reconversion. For
many more months, business men,
with the help of the best technical
advice they could obtain, have been
preparing to shift from wartime to
peacetime production. Government
has shared the knowledge Of its ex-
perts and proffered its cooperation.
Labor has contributed its sugges-
tons. All three know what they
want Together they hope to obtain
a successful synthesis.
But what many people do not real
ize is that the nation, the whole
world, for that matter, is facing an
other reconversion problem, equally
as difficult to solve, equally as inn
portant to achieve. It is the recon-
version of our whole educational sys-
tenn, and upon its success depends
the political future of democracy
and it's economic future as well, as
embodied in the theory and out
working of free enterprise.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
our current educational system,
which along with our wartime in
dustrial system made Allied victory
possible, is no more adapted to meet
the new and startling problems OF
the postwar world than the japanese
defense could meet the atomic
bomb.
Enlightened educators everywhere
realize this. In a short time experts
will meet in London to work out
program outlined in San Francisco
by the men and women who planned
the educational and cultural coun-
Gil of the United Nations. Here at
home and in other democratic coun-
kx4GS, OO11lGSt1C POA4CACS
are being reshaped to meet the new
conditions.
Education for world freedom is an
important objective; education for
freedom in the land of the free is
equally important, for it is the foun-
dalton stone of world democracy.
We have the task of reconverting
our own antiquated machinery SO
that it will be geared to produce
and maintain freedom. The United
Nations task is to build new ma
chinery which will evolve a prod
uct which must displace the Nazi-
Fascist teachings which still have
their hold on large segment Of the
population. Our own product must
be both a weapon Of offense and of
defense.
We have a powerful example in
the need for this in the demonstrate
ed strength of the Nazi theology and
the weakness of what we have so far
produced to combat it.
