CLEVELAND, May IS (NANA). .
From the lowest private to the
highest general in the American
occupied zone there is evident a
stern resolve that the Nazis shall
never be able to wage war again.
This resolve is implemented by
the policy of denazification, by
which former Nazis are detached
from positions Of honor in the pub
lie service and also from supervisory
and managerial positions in indus
try and commerce.
4 I have not been able to get any
accurate figures as to the number
of Nazis actually turned out of their
jobs, but I have been told it would
run to at least 100000 in the Amer
ican zone. This may be wide of
the mark, however, because the
process is continuous.
Leaves Void in Leadership.
One of the results of this neces-
sary purging-and it is vital and
necessary unless we are to have
another war with Germany-has
been unfortunate, however, In that,
to put the matter bluntly, all the
leadership, all the drive. all the
imagination in Germany was pretty
much in the Nazi party. The result
is that after community has been
pretty well purged of Nazis, the
bad ones sent to a stockade for
screening to determine those who
have actually committed specific
crimes serious enough to cause
them to be sent to Nuremberg, there
is a great void left in German
leadership.
The late Gen. George S. Patton, jr.,
was conscious of this when ne made
the remark, which was widely
criticized in America as being too
soft on the Germans. He said, in
effect, he thought the Nazi process
had gone about far enough and could
easily be overdone He had in mind
the quite obvious fact that in the
British and French zones, no such
thoroughgoing purge had taken
place. We do not know what the
Russians have done, but they are
practical people. What Gen. Patton
saw was that we were not able to get
any public officials for the German
civil setup under our military au-
thority who would be aggressive
enough, and that the same parlyz-
ing ban lay over industry and trans
port in Germany.
Prolongs Policing Job.
Make no mistake about the
thorough adherence of the Germans
as whole to Nazism. There we're
a few glorious exceptions, on the
whole numbering some thousands,
but they were a drop in the bucket
compared to the he'll Hitler" crowd.
For the few who manfully fought the
Nazis and were not entirely liqui-
dated, the American authorities have
reached into the former concentra-
ton camps and into the attics AND
cellars where the patriotic Germans
were hiding out, and have brought
= these men forth and entrusted them
with positions of honor in the new
setup Of Germany. But they are
mostly old men and tired men. The
future leadership of Germany GER
tainly does not lie in them. =
Inasmuch as the future leadership
of Germany will not be permitted
to fall into the hands Of the former
Storm Troopers and the Nazis, the
result is pretty obvious. There is no
leadership in Germany. There can
not be for another generation. at
least, which is another way of say
