In this respect, Franks confession,
as heard the other day at Nuremberg,
deserves more than passing consid-
Grafton. Il have gained at last" he
said, IAN insight" into all that has
happened, and II feel terrible guilt
within me" And he went on from
there to add that the guilt spread
far beyond him and far beyond the
men on trial with him. "A thousand
years will pass" he said, "and this
guilt of Germany still will not be
erased" And who can say that it
is baseless prophecy? Who can
say that Germans will not always
remember the crime with a sense of
national shame? The millions of
the destroyed will never come back,
but the story of what happened to
them-the almost unbelievable but
terribly true Story-will not die. This
is something that may we'll trouble
the peace of mind of the descendants
of Hitler's followers for generations
to come. Not often In history has
the record of any nation carried
stain so dark and ineradicable.

That is provided they can agree on the

authorized by the Charter itself to take

The Charter keeps alive and takes

Vondenberg on the Loan

In his address supporting the pro-
jected loan to Britain, Senator VAN
denberg cited an impressive list of
reasons why the measure should be
approved. He was for it, he said,
chiefly because it would affect the
shaping of "the peace itself" along
lines favorable to free enterprise and
hence favorable to our way of life
Up to now many of his Republican
colleagues have indicated that they
take a narrower view, tending to re-
gard the matter as something unre-
lated to the building of a better
world or to our own self-interest. In
much the same manner, in preWar
days, they failed to see how action
or lack of action in America could
deeply influence events abroad in
ways ultimately detrimental to us,
But Mr. Vandenberg, if he seemed
like that himself before Pearl Har-
Dor, has long since acquired broad
er vision. Speaking specifically of
the loan, he cautions against the
danger of getting SO close to the
trees as not to see the forest. After
much earnest reasoning, his own
mind is made up. II here and there
the credit arrangement appears
faulty, its overall objective is both
sound and necessary, and it may we'll
prove to be a decisive factor in de-
termining whether we are to live in
a world of decent commercial oppor-
tunity" or world of economic strife.
Mr.. Vandenberg has deservedly
achieved a position of great inf1u-
ence in this country, particularly as
a Republican among Republicans. 1t
must be hoped. therefore, that his
words will not be lost on members
of his party in the Senate. The is
sue, after all, is above partisanship,
and that Is the way they should
vote on it, Their action in this re-
spect will be test Of how much
they have changed their thinking
on international affairs since those
days when so many of them followed
the isolationiSt line.

Fiddlers and Fiddlers

To the Editor of The Star
1t is seldom that I find myself in
agreement with Harold Ickes, but his
column carried in The Star for April
10 echoes what some of us have said
before.
Mr.. Ickes speaks of the fiddling that
was done when Ethiopia was invaded and
when Hitler, Mussolini and Stain fought
war in Spain. I might recall the fid-
ding that was done when Czechoslovakia
was sold down the river, when Austria
was absorbed, when Hitler and Stain
divided Poland, when England stood
alone against the forces of evil
Mr.. Ickes quite obviously was indict-
ing the Truman administration ON the
food situation in Europe. Well Mr..
Truman pledged himself to follow the
policies of Mr.. Roosevelt, and as Mr..
Roosevelt was the fiddler during the
above mentioned crisis and Mr. Ickes
to remember his pledge to carry on Mr.
Roosevelts policies, it does seem in
consistent to criticize Mr.. Truman be-
cause he, too, is fiddler.
1t is quite possible that Mr.. Truman's
musical ability was responsible for his
selection as Vice President, so as to pro-
vide a standby fiddler while Mr.. Roose-
welt performed Remember how Mr..
Petrillo during Mr.. Roosevelt's admin
istration required a standby musician
Never before has Mr.. Ickes put in
print his dislike of any of the tunes Mr.
Roosevelt fiddled. OBSERVER.

This Changing World
By Constantine Broagn'

The German high command in Yugo-
slavia on September Is, 1914, informed
Gen. Draja Mihailovich and Col Rob-
ert Mcdowell, the American repre-
sentative at Gen. Mihailovich's head
quarters, that it was willing to sur
render Immediately, provided small
to accept the surrender.
This information, which was kept top
secret during the war, can now be re-
vealed. Had the American Government
reacted to this proposal. the German
troops located in parts of Serbia would
have given up the struggle several
months earlier, instead of waiting for
the surrender order from Admiral Doe
nitz in May, 1945.
A Col. Won Staerker arrived at Gen
Mihailovich's headquarters with creden-
tlals from the commander in chief of
the German forces in Yugoslavia, and
from Hitlers political representative.
Herr Neubacher, gauleiter for South
eastern Europe. He had a conference
with Gen. Mihailovich and with Col
Mcdowell. Won Staerker informed both
that the entire German force was ready
to surrender Internationally. But he
pointed out that since Gen. .Mihailovich
had been Invested of all authority by
his government and the Allies. it would
be "undignif1ed" for the German forces
to give up to guerrilla leader. In
order to save face for the Wehrmacht
and make the surrender Legitimate" he
suggested that Col. Mcdowell ask the
American Government to send token
force to accept the German surrender.
Since there were no means of COM
munlcation other than by air, Col Nc
DoWell thought a paratroop brigade
should be sent to Gen. Mihailovich's
area. He reported the German offer to
the theater commander in Italy, who in
turn is said to have transmitted the in
formation to Washington. The Ameri-
can Government did not react.
Yugoslavia was already considered in
the Soviet zone and the German request
was considered inappropriate, since it
had been made to a rival of Marshal
Tito, who had been accepted in fact. if
