FOUNDER QUIT
 AS PRESIDENT
A. William HaydOn Re. mains as Director; Em-
 plOyeS Resign Today

A. William Haydon was busted as president of the company which ne founded IS years ago, at 8 stock holders meeting in Bristol yester- day.
 The move came after bitter dis pute between the majority stock holders who wished to tie the Hay don Company to the Unitc d Drug Company, and Haydon who said he liked to be his own boss.
 Haydon's post as president was voted to Ernest H. Merchant, and his position of secretary was taken by w. E. Davis. Haydon was left solely an appointment as director.
 Other directors are R. A. Conover, Ernest H. Merchant, and P. Thatt- cher Lane, all members of the group which sought to wreSt control from Haydon.
 Lane, 1t was disclosed at the meet ing, personally bought 10 shares of the company's stock which swung the balance of control from the Haydon group, by exercising an op- ton held by the Seamless Rubber Company.
 One of Haydons last acts at the plant today was an appeal to number of key workers to cooperate with the new management in main- taining high production level in the timing motors developed by Haydon for the Navy.
 Nevertheless, 1t was learned, a number of workers, including at least one foreman, submitted their resignations, effective tomorrow. Whether any general action would be taken today by the employers could not be immediately determin- ed.
 During the stock dispute, the Conover group maintained that transfer of control to the Seamless Rubber Company would provide se- curity for the plant after the war by providing a guaranteed market for the company's motors through the United Drug Company's 13,000 national merchandising outlets. Haydon believed the company could hold it's own against competition in the postwar period.

cally convinced The arguments OF the
latter followed a line which has had
support in German mentality since
Nietzsche, and was thoroughly explored
and expressed in Spengler. This at
titude could be summarized as follows:
Western so-called Christian demo-
cratic civilization is moribund. It is
technologically advanced but spiritually
decadent, having lost the primitive will
to live of the barbaric but strong and
young peoples. Whatever happens, the
western democracies will not be victors.
If Germany loses, only Russia will win.
We and Russia, though bitter enemies,
represent the only movements and states
which have survival value. Europe must
be unified and can only be unified by
force: terror is the weapon of all
revolutions and we are making the
European revolution. But if we fail.
Europe will nevertheless be unified by
force. Our mission will descend on the
Russians"
These Nazis when asked in which
direction they would orient themselves,
in case of defeat answered almost with
out exception: To the Russians
The minority of clearly conscious
anti-NaziS, almost without exception.
said, I'VE hate Naziism because it is
reign of terror destroying the roots of
German and European civilization We
want the restoration of justice and law,
the end of prosecutions, and the revival
of civilization in a free United States of
Europe" -
In Italy, the radical Communists in
the revolutionary underground move
ment, led by Ruggiero Grieco-as con-
trasted with the open politicals and
exponents of the popular front, led by
Togliatti, both wings of the same party
are recruiting former Fascists to their
ranks. All they must do is repent, be
converted, and prepare to become in
struments for the leftist revolution. The
alternative is to be ''liquidated." The
radical Fascists, like the radical Com
munists. have had training in the
technique of the coup detat," and the
organization of terror, they are far
more mentally conditioned for a switch
to some leftist revolutionism than to
democracy.
Thus, if we take into consideration
the attitude expressed by Nazi prisoners
of war. the composition of the internal
German anti-Nazi movement, and the
facts in Italy, there is reason for be-
lieving that it will be Nazis who will
disappear into Communist ranks to be-
come servants of the next-and this
time they think successful-European n
revolution

On the Record
BY Dorothy Thompson

An argument advanced for expro-
priating private industrial property in
Germany, by the manner of collecting
reparations agreed to IN Potsdam, is
that the "industrialists" were Hitlers
chief support, and therefore de-indus-
trialization by appropriation is de-Nazi-
flcation.
There has been buildup in all Allied
countries of the theory that Naziism won
its sole support from conservative and
that the only opposition was from the
extreme left.
This is largely propaganda. Naziism
was mass movement. Only limited
number of industrialists neiped Hitler
in any way to come to power His mass
strength came from the lower middle
classes proletarianized by imitation and
depression, and from unemployed youth.
Naziism appealed to the radical dissatis-
factions of the masses and to national
ism. Industrialists who supported it
originally did so because they stupidity
thought they could control ard modify
1t.
The active resistance to NaziiSm in
side Germany, which eliminated in a
direct attempt to overturn the 1egime in
July. 1914, comprised persons from con-
servative ranks through all shades of
democratic German opinion
Himmler hanged hundreds Of active
conspirators between January and Oc-
tober, 1914. With few exceptions they
were not left-wing radicals but civilized
persons interested in the restoration Of
order and law, some of them aristocrats
with names as old as German history,
and all of them with deep moral or
religious sense of personal responsibility.
The liaison man of the movement on
whose head Himmler placed a reward
of 100000 marks, Karl Goerdeler was
vehement anti-Nazi from before the
Hitler revolution until the moment
when he swung from the gal,ows He
wrote his political views in a testament
deposited abroad, and Wendell Willxie
tbut not the Daily Worker would have
approved it.
In Great Britain, serious work has
been done among German prisoners of
war, sorting them into "Nazi" anti
Nazi' and "reformable This has not
entailed superficial questionnaires, but
probings covering months of work with
individuals and small groups.
The researches revealed interesting
things. Most of the prisoners in the
earlier days of the war were Nazi. These,
however, had to be classified into two
groups: The unthinking, who merely
parroted the slogans. and the philosophi-

Leuse-Lend Settlements

In view of some misinterpretation
of President Truman's recent report
to Congress advocating cancellation
of the overwhelmingly greater part
of lease-lend obligations, Secretary
of State Byrnes has acted wisely in
making clear that the proposal does
not mean that no settlements of any
kind are to be negotiated.
The LeaSe-Lend Act was designed
to promote the security of the United
States without creating a trouble
making war-debt situation, and
since our Allies have spent proper
tionately about as much cash as we
have in defeating the Axis and since
money repayments on our huge out
lays would seriously affect the econ
omy and peace hopes of thesworld,
cancellation is wholly warranted as
matter of law, fairness and COM
mon sense. Nevertheless certain i'm
portant phases of the program are
still subject to negotiation and
should yield us substantial returns.
These returns, however, except in
a minor sense, will not be in cash.
1t is not at all improbable that some
unused materials or defense items
will be returned or subjected to cash
collection or repayment in kind if
the President considers them serv-
iceable in the interests of the United
States or the Western Hemisphere

The British government hopes, like
the governments of all other countries,
that the world will henceforth enjoy
long period of peace. But it Is much
closer than America to the European
continent where there are no indications
that military establishments are being
reduced.
The French are making major effort
to re-establish their military strength.
Italy is expected to reorganize its armies
on modern basis after peace treaty
with the Allies has been signed and the
Italian government Is invited to be-
come member of the United Nations
organization. Poland, Yugoslavia and
Czechoslovakia, besides maintaining
compulsory draft, have ordered military
training for their youths and are rapidly
reorganizing their forces which were
disrupted by the war. Russia is by way
of demobilizing portion of her huge
armies, but is probable that she will
maintain a peace establishment of at
least 5000, 900 men. Moreover, the Soviet
government has also ordered compul-
sorry military training for all its citizens
from the age of Is upward.
Britain has assumed military re-
sponSlblllt1eS under the San Francisco
agreement. Moreover, she has just re-
occupied her lost territories in the
Pacific. These will have to be gar
risoned by strong forces. The fear of
an unsuspected aggression should be re-
moved by the fact that there is an in
. ternational organization to deal with
such matters. But that is not all
Britain will take over once more coun-
tries populated by millions of Asiatics
who may not be as willing as in the
past to remain under the scepter OF
King George. Agents may attempt to
fish in troubled waters and exploit the
defeats suffered by the British forces
at the hand of the Japanese in 1912
The best way to handle such a situation
which does not necessarily come under
the protective terms of the UNO, is by
the presence of a strong military force
