Survival of German Myth, Desertion of

facto, then de jure.
We do not know that Hitler author
lied Doenitz as his successor.
We do know that he had publicly
indicated certain successors.
saw and heard him do it in
the Reichstag meeting in the Knoll
opera house in Berlin on September
l, 1899, when he announced that he
was going to the front to join the
army already invading Poland
I saw him turn from the lectern
and indicate, first Herman Goering,
sitting high on the praesidium as
his successor, if he failed to return
and second, the tall and lanky Hess
sitting in the first row on the ros-
trun.
There has never been any other
official designation of succession by
the German government. When Hit
Ter made that pronounc Doe
nitz played no role in the Nazi party
he was just another naval officer.
Therefore it would be easy for
whoever claims official fuehrership
to have moved into Norway while it
was still in German hands, take
long-distance submarine and find
asylum and support in some country
which would conceal his identity and
where sufficient sympathy for nazi-
fascism existed, to carry on under
ground activities and foster the
myth Of the Immortality of nazi-dom
just as the myth of the German
army's invincibility was kept alive.
That is one thing that apparently
is not realized. It is important. It
must be watched.
Now there are a number of other
pitfalls which I might mention but
I won't spend too long over these
faded notes with fresh breezes from
the Pacific reminding me that we
are living in the land of tomorrow
and not yesterday.
But alas, some of the dark shad-
ows of yesterday have stretched
down the years to today.

Australians Bottle Tree
Provides Food and Drink

Nature must have been in a
playful mood when she designed
the odd vaseshaped bottle tree,
which grows in the tropical re-
gions of Australia. One would
never guess, from the trees rug
ged appearance, that the inner
part of the swollen stem is actual
ly nutritious food for both man
and beast. The stem is also
reservoir for cool, sweet water.
Many a thirsty Yank soldier on
duty in Australia has tapped this
tree for it's refreshing liquid. Larg-
est specimens are so to so feet
high, and the trunk is six or seven
feet thick.

Selfish Interests
Stunt Democracy

One of the great mistakes which
the peace-loving nations Of the
world, as they now call themselves,
made the last time was that they
failed to help the democratic ele-
ments in Germ any against the very
reactionary or national elements
which mede World War II possible.
At present there is no question
about elements in the German gov
eminent for it is under Allied mill
tary rule. That problem is some
distance in the future. But here at
San Francisco and wherever the ex-
ecutive council or the assembly of
the organization planned here may
meet, the same question will arise.
We have a concrete example in
the question of Argentina, not too
important in itself, but. interesting
insofar as it reveals whose selfish
political and economic interests af-
feet world affairs.
Certain countries wanted to renew
normal business relations, with Ar
gentina.
Great Britain has great interest
in Argentina because of her trade
and Canada because the financing
of many institutions there was ham
died through Canadian banks.
The representatives in the Mex
leo City conference yielded to this
pressure and when they came to
San Francisco could not reverse
their position. Russia looked on,
chortled, and said: Democracies
aren't so democratic after all if they
invite fascist government to join
up with them.
This is not too important but it
is an example Of what must be
avoided if the United Nations really
champion the cause of democracy
throughout the world.
But the strong hope Of avoiding
the pitfalls Of the last time lies in
the interest, the participation of the
people. The people Of America.
AS I sit here in San Francisco
and see the earnest effort of these
men of all creed and color, I feel
they have the will to peace.
But their voices all cry in the
wilderness unless the people support
them.
/ look over these gray-green hills
and think-into thine hands, the
hands of the people of America.

SAN FRANCISCO. - California
sunshine is pouring down on the bay,
a great white fog has begun to drape
the distant, gray-green hills In the
folds of it's floating robe.
It has been a day of conferences
and interviews where the great
tragedies of little countries-Al-
bania, Korea, Poland-and the little
differences between great countries
have been tossed at us, in vibrant
earnest voices, in stiff and proper &C
cents. 1t would be easy to lose sight
of woods for the trees. But as sit
here leafng over faded notes of an
other such conference, l know that
the tremendous goal for which these
delegates have striven is so much
higher, so much wider than all the
little controversies that it still is just
what the chambermaid in my no.

She was gray haired. She had

when I asked her what she thought
of this gathering she laid down an
arnnful of linen and looked up. II

portant thing that ever happened"
she said, trying to stop wars"
How important this meeting will
prove to be depends on how well the
world avoids the pitfalls which
wrecked its last attempt to treat

something that we irreverently con-
slider as an act of God, like tor
nado, but something to which man.

Germans Thought
Armies Unbeaten

have been talking over that
Paris conference with a friend
whom I met there-a quarter of
century ago. He lived with the
League of Nations through its early
uncertain days, on until its death of
malnutrition. Together we agreed
on certain fundamental mistakes
made in, the past which must be
avoided If the result Of the San
Francisco conference is success.
The object of the United Nations
is the same as the object Of the
League of Nations: to stop agrees
sion before it starts. Last time, eff
forts were directed specifically to-
ward Germany as the one potential
aggressor. Germany has been so
utterly defeated that she cannot
strike back for long time but our
conduct toward Germany after the
last war can be related to all fu-
ture attempts at aggression.
The first mistake made last time,
namely, allowing the myth to grow
up that the German army was not
defeated, that other causes enforced
capitulation, cannot be made again
since the German army is now de-
stroyed. But there is danger that
another myth may grow which will
encourage nazi-fascism elsewhere.
Even if the so-called German gov
eminent headed by Admiral Doenitz
formally capitulated to the Allies in
stead of having the various gener-
ais surrender separately, the Nazis
might well claim that they them
selves never did surrender.
A very good legal case might be
made out supporting the thesis that
Doenitz was not the authorized head
of the German government and that
government still existed in exile.
Whether Hitler and Hinmler are
dead makes no difference. No proof
can be adduced that Doenitz is the

a Killed, 3 Injured
In Anti-Peron Battles

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 8. - Foul
persons were killed and 80 injured
today as 100000 persons braved
three hours of gunfire and oratory
in the first major demonstration
against the candidacy of Col. Juan
Peron for the presidency.
Speakers of the Radical, Liberal
Socialist and Communist parties de-
nounced what the termed 'Nazi-
ism" in the military government,
which Peron served as vice presi-
dent, while columns of Peron sup
porters attacked with guns, clubs
and fists down the streets leading to
Congress Plaza and the Congress
building.
The series of gun battles intensi-
fed near the end of the meeting and
police finally sent four armored cars
and $50 mounted police to clear the
square. The meeting ended as they
arrived and there was no further
violence as the square was emptied
of the vast throng within a half
hour.
The meeting was called by the
Democratic Union which was formed
by the four parties to combat
Peron's presidential candidacy after
he resigned from the government.

Without Visiting Korea

TOKYO, Dec. s. - Reparations
Commissioner Edwin w. Pauley was
scheduled to leave Tokyo today for
Manila and then the United States,
presumably after failing to obtain
permission to visit personally Rus
sian-held Northern Korea and Man
churia. Other commission members
remain here.
Mr.. Pasley told a press confer
ence recently. either he or members
Of his mission would remain in
Japan until permission was obtained
to visit those countries in connec-
ton with reparations studies. He
said the State Department had re-
quested Russian permission to make
the visit, which he asserted was
necessary to the work OF his mis-
sion. He anticipated permission, he
added, but failed to state when.
In a statement today, Mr.. Pauley
favored turning over to Korea some
japanese plants and equipment, but
proposed postponement of alloca-
tons until "the needs of the whole
country" can be considered.
He stated both the American oc-
cupation Of Southern Korea and
Russian occupation of the northern
portion of that country are consid-
cred temporary and that under the
United Nations policy. all Korea
eventually will be treated as a unit.

King Declares Victory
Over laps Was Due
Directly 10 Navy
Retiring Fleet Chief
Hits Military Merger
In FinoI Report

Admiral Ernest J. King, hitting
anew at proposals for merging
the Army and Navy, declared
last night that American victory
over Japan was directly" due to
overwhelming seapower in which
"fexibility" of our naval forces
was a prime factor.
I'VE now have before us the essen
tial lessons of the war; the retiring
commander in chief of the feet
and chief of naval operations said
in his final report To Secretary OF
the Navy Forrestal. He added:
1T is my earnest conviction that
whatever else may have been
learned as to the most effective
relationship of the ground, naval
and air forces, the most definite and
most important lesson is that to
attempt unity of command in Wash
ington is ill-advised in concept and
would be impracticable of realiza-
ton"
Army Hampered Jap Navy.
He asserted that japanese sea
power was hampered by Army con-
troll and that Japan lost the war
because she lost command of the
sea, and in doing so lost-to us
the island bases from which her
factories and cities could be de-
stroyed by air."
Emphasizing that "the fexibility
and balanced character of our naval
forces" has been a prime factor "in
the successful application of our
sea power" he indirectly assailed
suggestions for scrapping battleships
in favor of airplane carriers and
making the naval air arm indie
pendent.
Naval aviation is and must al
ways be an integral part of the feet,
he declared in stressing that all
fleet components must be welded
together rather than simply CO.
ordinated."
In his argument against unified
command in Washington, Admiral
King said the joint chiefs of staff
system, with flexible arrangements
for complete indignation of all forces
under a single command in the field
to meet differing conditions, proved
its worth" during the war.
He pointed out that the principle

Secretary of State Byrnes and

port for a formula to give small
nations a voice in control of
atomic energy when they meet
foreign Commissar Molotov in
Moscow this week.
Diplomatic officials said yesterday
that preliminary agreement on some
sort of atomic control formula
would be an important step toward
building closer relations among the
great powers. The problem is to
come up formally at the United
Nations Assembly meeting in jan
uary.
Mr.. Byrnes repeatedly wants the
Assembly of the United Nations
rather than the Security Council to
handle 1t because % 81 nations
rather than II would play some

An experimental bomber OF
radical design, the Douglas
XB-42, roared over Boiling Field
last night S hours, II minutes
and "a seconds after it took off
from Long Beach, Calf, unofn-
cially but decisively smashing all
previous transcontinental speed
records and averaging 432 miles
per hour for the 2,295-mile fight.
The National Aeronautic Associa-
ton has ruled on technically that
the flight did not set formal trans
continental record, as it was not
routed over a course designated by
the Federation Aeronautique Inter-
rationale. The plane, however, in
establishing city-to-city record,
bettered the official transcontinental
record time by an hour and a quar-
ter and sliced three quarters of an
hour from the latest unofficial
record.
Approximately 200 persons greeted
the twin-engined ship when it
