Arqentinu Returns

Resumption of normal diplomatic
relations with Argentina is indica-
tive of what appears to be closing
of ranks among the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, and that, if
1t has substance as we'll as form, is
welcome development.
The break between Argentina and
the United States has persisted for
more than year, and our efforts
during that period were aimed at
the diplomatic isolation of Argentina
as long as that country adhered to
policies which, in our judgment,
were giving aid and comfort to our
Axis enemies. In this, with the
support of most OF the Latin
American states, we have been
largely successful. After marking
time since its severance of diplo-
matte relations with Germany and
Japan in January, 1914, Argentina
has now declared war against the
Axis countries and has formally
adhered to the Act of Chapultepec.
Whether Argentina will seek men,
bership in the United Nations and
will be invited to send a delegation
to the San Francisco Conference
remains undetermined, but the
probability is that this Government
would look with favor on such
moves.
There may be some disposition to
deplore the fact that the resumption
of diplomatic relations results in the
recognition of the dictatorial Farrell
government of Argentina. This is
the same government which the
State Department denounced last
July as having deliberately vio-
lated" Argentina's pledge to support
the war against the Axis and which,
we said, had been openly and noto-
riously giving Affirmative assistance
to the declared enemies of the
United Nations" 1t is also the same
government which has been ruth
lessly suppressing civil liberty in
Argentina. Presumably, however,

AS the map of Germany is being
rolled up, her conquests and satellites
become a United Nations problem in
feeding and otherwise helping But
while We are on the giving end of the
feeding. it is only fair that the others
do some OF the helping. The Neither
lands, to cite one of the best examples,
is a nation Of about 5000 900. Its terri
tory has been ravaged by water and
fire. but few countries have lost so few
men. An army of some hundreds of
thousands might be raised there. Most
OF these men were trained in the Dutch
Army before the war. They are highly
literate. They are no further from
their rich colonies in the East Indies than
are our own armies in Europe. They
might we'll be used to clear out the Japs
who no doubt. are we'll fed and housed
in the Asiatic Netherlands.
No bones are being made in the
United States in both official and un-
Official circles about the prospective
morale problem in moving American
veterans Of the European war to the
Pacific after Germany is finished. When
a soldier has won war, something goes
out Of him. He wants to 60 home. The
cold -blooded military book tells us in
no uncertain terms that soldier

good soldier, and the point on the side
OF justice is that while the war against
Japan should require the services of
whatever American troops are necessary,
Americans should be supplemented by

Postwar Controls

In their second hold-the-l line re-
port to the President, the "big four"
Of the stabilization program speak
with justifiable pride of their accom-
plishments to this time. In two years
the cost Of living index has risen
only a little more than two per cent.
Average straight time hourly earn
ings, largely as result of promo
tions and increased production,
show a rise of ten per cent in the
same period. Without question, on
this basis, the stabilization program
has been success.
The authors of the report to the
PreSident-Director of Economic
Sterilization Davis, Office of Price
Administrator BoWles, War Food
Administrator Jones and War Labor
Board Chairman Taylor-are not
without concern for the future, how
ever. Their arguments in behalf OF
the need for maintaining price and
wage controls during the period be-
tween We day and the defeat OF
Japan should meet with favorable
reception. There will be some oppo-
sition from certain groups, but most
of the people, with a major war still
to be won, may be expected to accept
such restrictions as necessity and
cn,,pony, coy,co NOV irpnnca
1t is significant, however, that the
four stabilizers speak rather guard
edly of a need for extending their
controls into the transition period
after the defeat of Japan. The
authors of the report are not very
explicit on this score. Perhaps they
prefer to feel their way, or it may
be that they are not very sure
themselves as to what will be really
necessary along the line of price and
wage controls after the war ends.
If good case can be made out for
temporary peacetime controls-a
case which rests on a basis of ma
tional necessity-the required public
support may be forthcoming. But
when the time arrives the managers
of the stabilizatio agencies will not
be able to fall back on such vague
and cloudy arguments as those con-
tanned in the second report to the
President. Peacetime controls will
have small chance of public accept
ance unless the need for them can
be clearly and convincingly shown.

Wants Truth About War
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
According to news report, high
Allied official recently stated that the
truth about this war would be given to
the German people. Why not 60 step
further by giving the truth about it to
the whole world?
However, in view of the fact that
participants in such bitter war as the
present one possibly could be biased in
their conceptions of the truth, why not
select an impartial fact-finding group
from the neutral nations of the world,
give that group full access to all avail
able information, and then let it do
the truth revealing?
Personally, feel that the full truth
about this war would do more to pre-
vent future wars than all the agree
ments the politicians can make. know
that, so far, such agreements haven't
been of any value in promoting world
peace. I lean to the philosophy that
only the truth will make men free"

When finally this double war is
over and people again may travel
for pleasure and instruction, Tonan-
zintla in the state of Puebla will be
one of the places south of the Rio
Grande to which many Americans
will want to go. The new National
Astrophysical Observatory of Mexico
is located there, and from it a con-
stantly changing spectacle of mar
velous beauty may be viewed by day
as we'll as by night A site seventy
five hundred feet above the floor of
the valley of Cholula was selected
for the buildings because of the
panorama visible from that eleva-
ton. The cover of Sky and Telescope
magazine for April shows an exam
pie of the magnificent celestial
pageantry ceaselessly offered to any
company of observers assembled at
the right spot In the picture the en-
tire landscape is Illuminated by

the planet Venus like silver sword
pressed earthward by an unseen
giant hand, while on the right the
volcano Popocatepetl rises toward
the empyrean with its ashen crest
delicately touched by what the Bible
calls "the lesser orb"
Bart J. Box of Harvard College
tells the story of the Observatory in
terms which any amateur can un-
derstand. Its program, he explains,
is mostly Photographic" The prin-
cipal instruments now in use are
three-inch Ross, six-inch Brashear

which the Mexican astronomers will

Suggests Disposal of German Art

Tc the Editor Of The Star:
The discovery of the German cache OF
gold and works of art in a salt mine is
good news indeed. One must hope the
Allies will not be weak-minded enough
to restore the paintings and other an
tiques to the German museums from
which they were removed for safety
without carefully inspecting the prov
enance of each item with a view to re-
turning to its proper country any arti-
Gle stolen as loot since the time of Fred
erick the Great. More than that, it is
evident that loot taken by the Germans
all over Europe and not traced and re-
turned by the Allies, as we'll as art OBJ
jects Of every type destroyed by the
Germans in stu, should be compen-
sated for by appropriate selection from
the German collections now revealed.
Actually, of course, any remainder,
after these steps have been carried out,
should be divided proportionately
between the Allies.

Germunism's Downfall

The simultaneous capture of
Koenigsberg and penetration of
Vienna by Russian armies are twin
portentS whose significance far
transcends their immediate strategic
or political Importance. They are
eminently symbolic of a major shift
In racial and cultural factors in Eu-
rope which will in all probability
alter profoundly the evolution of
that continent. Unless all signs fail,
we are witnessing a decisive victory
of Slav over Teuton-the final bat
tie in a racial duel that has been
going on for upwards OF a thousand
years.
The duel began when the Ger
manic genius known alternatively
as Charlemagne or Charles the Great
consolidated the Teutonic tribes
which had flooded westward over
the dying Roman Empire with those
Teutons who had remained in their
ancestral homeland and founded a
political organism known as the
Holy Roman Empire. One of the
chief tasks of Charlemagne and his
successors was to reconquer the for
mer Germanic lands east of the
Elbe which had been abandoned by
the Teutons migrating westward
and had been occupied by the
Slavs. That process is known to
Germans as the "Drang mach Osten"
the push to the east
During the Middle Ages this east
ward expansion made great prog
ress. The Slavs never succeeded in
uniting politically and were over
come in detail. All of what is now
Germany east of the Elbe is terri
tory colonized from the Slavs. One
of the earliest bases for Germanic
eastward expansion was Vienna,
originally called the "Ostmark" or
East Mark-a name which the
NaziS significantly revived when
they absorbed Austria into their
Third Reich" The Habsburg dy-
nasty built up in the Danube VAL
ley an empire which, though ruling
mainly over Slavs and Magyars. was
historically and spiritually part of
the Germanic world.
The second great expansionist
base for Germanism was East Prus-
Sia, won by the crusading order of
the Teutonic Knights It's capital,
KoenigSberg. was the symbol of mil
liant Germanism and later became
the bulWark of the Prussian state
and its aggressive philosophy.
Germanism's medieval expansion
went into eclipse when Germany
itself was ravaged and depopulated
in the great religious conflict known
as the Thirty Years War. The
founding of the new German EN-
pire of the Hohenzollerns by Bis
marck in 1871. allied with the de-
clining but still powerful Austro-
Hungarian Empire of the Habsburgs.
revived old dreams for eastward ex-
pansion which might have succeed
ed. since the Germans we're then
preponderant in Europe But Euro
pean hegemony was not enough.
Under Kaiser Wilhelm II the Ger
mans dreamed of world supremacy,
challenged Britain, and brought
upon themselves the disaster Of the
First World War. which weakened
Germany and destroyed the Habs-
burg Empire. Hitler's mad ambition
to succeed where the HohenzollernS
had failed has involved Germans
everywhere in a ruin which. in the
larger sense, would seem to be ir-
reparable, since their Slav rivals
are acquiring an ascendancy which
will presumably increase with the
course of time.

'UnporIiomentury'
From the Ottawa journal:

Sometimes we think our House of
Commons is being gagged and stultified
by rules. Let any member try to express
himself in vigorous English, in words
that ring with passion and conviction,
with detestation or condemnation of
obvious humbug, and Immediately he is
'out Of order" Terms and words that
are accepted as commonplace in the
British House, as a part Of the ancient
coinage of parliamentary speech, are
pounced upon over here as "unparlia-
mantary" The result Is House of
Commons where debate has been de-
graded to pillow fighting.

Judah the Maccabee rededicated
the temple at Jerusalem which
had been defiled by the soldiers

holiness of Israel. He command
ed that in all the cities Of Judah,
temples and shines be built to
Jupiter.
After years of passive resist
ance in the hills surrounding Je-

a small Jewish army, defeated the
army of the Syrians and entered
