f. Russia demanded that Germans be
imported to rebuild it's ruined areas
At the first press conference after
Yalta, Roosevelt suggested lit
might not be a bad idea" In Mar
CHI 9Th Gallup poiI, Americans by
71% to 20%. approved that 3 to 4
million German ex-soIdiers be re-
quired to spend two or three years
rebuilding destroyed, Russian cities.
Currently discussed proposal: 5
million Germans for five years.
Soviet policy to spread this man
power throughout Russia. Not be-
ing allowed to bring along Ger
man women, many men during a
five-year period would marry Rus
STA girls. Children are raised most
~ by mothers; only the Russian
language would be taught in
schools; thus, the new generation
would be Russian. No resembI-
ance to foreign colonies in which
entire families Of a single nation
ality live.

Of military age. Russia's losses
would be partly offset by this new-
ly imported manpower. Postwar
Germany, further depleted Of male
viriIity, would decline faster than
any great power since Carthage was

tack from groups headed BY Doro-
thy thompson and Norman Thomas
Their theme: mot since ancient
times have citizens Of a defeated
nation been carried off by the VIC
tors into slavery"
Friends Of Russia reply: while
! the men selected would be prison
ers in the sense hat labor is in
voluntary. they would be paid wag-
es at prevailing Russian rate.
Captive Germans who volunteer
are now being paid at usual piece
rates. Some energetic conscripted
German workers. it is claimed, are
making more than the Russians
working alongside Of them.
UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSA-
TION Look for early Presidential
message to Congress on broadening
unemployment compensation. Tru-
man is expected to urge l%engthen-
ing unemployment coverage period
to 26 weeks at not less than $40 a
week.
Recent study shows that out of
43 million non-agricuLtural work
ers. 13 million are not covered by
exiting unemployment ~compensat-
ion laws.

Herb Vinegars

Herb vinegars are easy to make
and they add a piquant flavor to
tasteless dishes. You can use tar
fagon, minis, marjoram or basil
leaves, or a combination of two or
more kinds. The secret is to have
the leaves fresh Bruise them and
pack down in two-quart jar in the
proportion of one cup of leaves to
one quart of vinegar. Let the mix
ture stand for two weeks, then
strain out the leaves. Taste the vim
egar. If the flavor is not strong
enough. add another cup of leaves
and store for 10 days more. Filter
the final product through flannel or
filter paper.

Standard Time

Until 1883, each city or district
maintained its own time, usually &C
cepting what is known as true time.
This condition caused complications.
For example. Many naturalization
clocks either gave two times, or else
there were separate clocks for each
time, some Of the trains leaving the
station on what was known as New
York time, while others left on local
time. Banks and business houses
closed on either of the times. There
was no standard and no agreement.
In 1883, standard time was estab-
lished.

the most isolated spots to accommo-
date our war planes in the combat

thick. heat for a few minutes in the
oven before placing it under broil-
er.

Argument Doesn't Apply

The argument pointing to the re-
suits of compulsory CONSUMPTION in
peacetime in France and Germany,
according to many sources here, do
not hold water for the reason that
In those countries compulsory con-
scription encompassed military
service and men are subject to call
for military service al any time
Bills now before the committee do
not contemplate so broad a pro-
gram Of compulsion. For instance
the May bill would provide that ev-
cry young man attaining the age OF
18, or within four years thereafter,
be subject to military or naval
training, Induction into the army or
navy for this purpose for one year.
After completion of the year, he is
demobilized and enrolled as a re-
servist for a period Of six years, but
he cannot be subject to compulsory
military service during that period
or afterwards, except upon declara-
tion Of a national emergency by the
congress.
1t seems to your Hometown
Reporter that the very name of
the committee conducting these
hearings is an answer to the
question at least for the imme-
date future the House Com
mittee on Postwar Military Poll
cy. What is our postwar mill
airy policy? How would COM
pulsory military training fit
into that policy?
1t would seem that we must
first know just what that policy
Is, what it contemplates, before
determining that every young
man must have this military
training. Do we contem-
plate maintaining huge stand
ing army to man military bases
throughout the world? viii our
armies Of occupation be Of suf-
ficient size to constitute compul-
sorry CONSUMPTION as neces-
sity?
There is little doubt but that
our peacetime standing army must
be larger than heretofore, and that
we must maintain a large two-ocean
navy for security purposes. But will
not volunteer enlistments do the
Job? What about ROTC units in the
colleges, universities and high
schools and the Citizen Military
Training camps7 Could these enter
prises be enlarged and expanded.
It may be that the answers to all
these questions will be obtained by
the house committee in the hearings
on the CONSUMPTION bills, but Il not,
then they are getting the cart be-
fore the horse. At any rate, since
any policy adopted by the congress
II determined by the individual
thinking Of the people Of the ma
ton, It is time everyone gave this
question serious thought.
The war and navy departments
contend that it is necessary to pass
this measure now because past ex-
perience has shown that after war
Is over public interest subsidies.

Compulsory Military Training
WNU Washington Bureau

DROBABLY no othersubject is clos
I er to the American people at the
moment than the question OF peace
time compulsory military training.
What we do in this respect will at
feet almost every home in the
hometowns and rural communities
Of the nation.
Since June 4 when hearings
started, the House Committee on
Postwar Military Policy has listened
to ream upon ream of testimony
for and against this question, and,
OF course, there are arguments,
good ones, on both sides of the mat
ter.
On the one side, for compulsory
military training, we find our mill
tary leaders, Generals Eisenhower,
Macarthur, Marshall, Patton and
many others, Admirals King, MINI
itz and others. The departments Of
state, war and navy. President Tru-
man and the late President Roose-
welt, the American Legion and Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, plus the ma
tional polls which indicate from 90
to more than 10 per cent OF the peo-
pie are in favor Of this compulsory
training.
On the other side of the fence, we
find arrayed labor organizations,
farm organizations, educational and
church organizations, various peace
groups and many other pressure
groups, plus many outstanding indi-
viduals, such as former Secretary
of the Navy Josephus Daniels
all opposed to the idea.
Some Of these organizations are
prompted by selfish motives, others
from sincere and honest standpoint,
point to compulsory CONSUMPTION
in other nations as leading to inn
periallsm and war, such as in
France and Germany, Educators.
for instance, fear that if there is
hiatus of one year when boy
reaches 10 and graduates from high
school, it may interfere with his en-
tering college. Farm leaders fear
loss Of l8-year-olds from the farms
during planting ard harvest sea-
sons will hurt agriculture produc-
ton Labor leaders fear military
training may breed antagunsm and
distruSt Ct labor unions. Others de
clare that blind obedience such as
IS required in military discipline is
un-Amercan and contrary to the
American spirit of Independence.

Commentator Ribbon
Authorized by Army

A new decoration, known as the
Army Commentator Ribbon, has
been authorized by the War Depart
ment for members of the armed
forces who have received recon-
mendations for "meritorious service"
since December Z, 1941, or for some
specific accomplishment since that
time.
1t may be awarded for some par
ticular service "other than sustained
combat or operational duty or direct
support of such duty" and under
conditions where a Bronze Star
Medal, an operational award, can
not be given.
Oak Leaf Clusters will be awarded
for subsequent duty assignments
qualifying for a commentator. It
was pointed out by the War Depart
ment that commentator" is not
to be confused with appreciation. {"
The commentator must be to an
individual from senior officers of
the rank of major general or above.
An individual who has a letter of
commentator from an officer of
the necessary rank written prior to
January /, 1916, may obtain au-
thority to wear the new ribbon.
The decoration is a silk band of
myrtle green with white stripes, but
Is not yet available,
