Dealing With Germuns


lieve that the Russians are doing a
better job than we are in dealing
with the German people. Our
American policy is one OF being
rather icily formal about the whole
business, holding the general popu-
lation at arms length and making
no effort to win friends among
those who were at worst only nomi-
nal Nazis and at best secretly anti
Hitler from 1888 onward. 1t may
be argued. of course, that this stiff
conqueror's attitude is we'll calcu-
lated to impress upon Germany the
fact OF It's complete defeat, but the
point can be made at the same
time that different approach
might prove in the long run to be
wiser and more fruitful, psychologi-
cally and otherwise.
The Russians, at any rate, ap-
pear to be of that mind. Well aware
OF the fact that Germany had been
indoctrinated for years with fear
inspiring propaganda about the
"barbarians" and swamp humans"
of fle Soviet Union, they have been
systematically engaged in an effort
to win the good will OF the con-
quered ever since moving into Ber-
lin and their zone OF occupation.
Thus, only few days ago, as a
striking example of the program
they are following to this end, they
staged an elaborate banquet for As
leading German politicians and
trade-union officials, among them
the chairman of the Christian Dem
ocratic party as well as Socialists
and Communists.
The dinner was sponsored by
Marshal Zhukov and on the surface
at least generated a marked degree
OF camaraderie, with speeches and
vodka toasts emphasizing the begin
ming Of new era of Russian-Ger-
man friendship. To be sure, the
long-term value of such gestures
may be open to question, but it is by
means of them that the Russians
are gaining ground in winning the
confidence not only of the Com
.munists-who are naturally favored
in the Red Army zone-but also of
less extremist elements in Germany,
including in a measure even the
conservative intelligentsia. Whether
this gain is to be short-lived or not,
the fact remains that Allied sources
and the Germans themselves are
agreed that the Russians are doing
a good job in achieving it and that
the Soviet Union may well benefit
from 1t in years to come.
BY contrast, nothing of the sort
Is being done in our American zone.
Indeed, as one reporter has OBJ
served, If our forces under General
McNarney staged a party of the
kind sponsored by Marshal Zhukov,
there probably would be loud crit4-
cism in this country from those who
feel that no distinction should be
drawn among Germans and that all
should be treated alike. The psy-
chology of such policy seems less
than sound. The Russians, who
usually are shrewd realists in these
matters, may have something to
teach us here.

Wants Help From South America

Wants Help From South America
To the Editor OF The STAR
I have tried for several weeks to get
some information from the UNRRA,
regarding facts that are OF vital interest
to the taxpayers of the United States.
They have taken no notice of my letters,
and have given me no information. Nor
have any of the broadcasts told. us what
every citizen wants to know.
I would like to be informed what
people in devastated countries are being
aided, what method Of distribution is
being followed and how many have been
helped?
Beginning at the Rio Grande and
going to Argentina, there are about IA
countries in South America. These
countries have had no war, and have
had their usual good crops and herds,
except Argentina and one other nation.
have asked the UNRRA to inform me
what foods and what amounts these
South American countries have con-
tributed to feeding Europe I would like
to know why the United States has to
contribute 80 per cent of the food sent
to Europe when these South American
countries, in common decency. must aid
the starving people abroad. especially
as most Of their trade is with these very
European countries.
To Canada alone, outside Of the
United States, belongs the highest credit
for the generous part she has played in
contributing to the war effort and all
other needs Of nations harmed by war.

ought therefore to be regarded as
matter OF course in the years ahead,
and the same holds true for our
projected defensive network as
whole. The story of Guam-the pre-
war neglect and the bitter conse-
quences-should be lasting warn
ing to us on this score.

Blames Planning for Shortages

DidHlSS idIlIliIlS 1OI SuOT TtdScS
To the Editor OF The Star:
Thanks to Cold and Bare-Legged for
her letter in The Star of February 16
with regard to the fact that it is not
possible to obtain stockings.
I, too, am at loss to understand
why our so-called planners have left
our legs out In the cold. 1t is, indeed,
situation that seems to call for def
mite action.
Four out of five guests at my home
recently preferred the lowly rayons to
the ch-advertised nylons, the rayons
having been perfected to a degree of
satisfaction that met the needs of al
most every one, but planning has
removed them from the market entirely
and except for an occasional shipment
of nylons, which invariably brings on
stampede, there are no stockings to
be had, and since did not hoard them
when they were available, I now have
none and to go stockingless in the cold
OF winter is both uncomfortable and
dangerous to health

tables the butter we once enjoyed. Dur
ing the war years we were justly proud
of our record of guns and butter, now
that the guns have been silenced, but
ter has been planned right out of our
menus. 1t rarely is obtainable even in
the limited quarter of pound to q
customer quantity.
am quite in sympathy with the facts
set forth in the recent whole page ad-
vertisements Of the Association of Mer-
chants and Manufacturers when they
state that production and not controls
is the answer to shortages

Memo on Flu
To the Editor Of The Star:
One winter in the sunny South we
got touch of flu and asked a friendly
'kunnel" what he thought we ought to
do.
Posthaste our friend responded, "Son,
this is no time to bicker, don't fuss with
any medicine; take plenty of pot
likker'
Then stay in bed q week or so. We
followed his regime and sure enough,
our flu was gone like some obnoxious
dream.
A few years later up in Maine the
bug again descended.
This time we asked old Uncle Zeke
just what he recommended.
MY boy" said he, don't take thing
but good old rock k-and-rye! Then simply
stay in bed a week-and kiss the flu
good-by!"
So we conclude that what you take"
won't send your germs a-touring; just
stay in bed week or so and Nature
does the curing! RAY H. EVERETT.

Objects to Loan to Britain

Objects to Loan to Britain y
To the Editor of The Star:
May I express my views Of the loan"
to Britain?
1t is about time some thoughts were
given to the public. in the matter. Brit
ain refused to pay her debts in the
past. Now she has the gall to ask for
four billion more. There is no assur-
ance she will repay q dime OF this
money.
Let Britain go to private financiers
for this loan. If she can convince them
that she will repay the money with
interest the loan will be made. To
me 1t looks like another give away of
the American public's money. When
will 1t stop? FORMER LONDONER.

3NT Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead, three Of hearts.
You just can't play three-no-
trump contract properly without
counting up to nine. am reluctant
to stress the obvious, but unfortu-
nately in real life, so many players
show tendency to play along lazily
from trick to trick and from suit to
suit without any definite goal in
view.
This business of counting up to
nine is not always as simple as it
sounds. Take today's hand for ex-
ample. The bidding was very
normal. There Is some question
whether North should not have
gone to three no-trump himself in
stead of calling only two no-trump.
He has very sound opening bid
himself and should, therefore, as
sumo the responsibility for the game
himself. However, since he held
only single shoppers in the "of1"
suits he chose the more conserva-
tive course. One definite observa-
ton should be made. 1t would have
been highly improper for North to
rebid clubs to show a six-card suit.
Showing the length of the minor
suit is far less important than the
information that the hand has very
good prospects for game at no.
trump.
The three of hearts was opened
and declarer must decide which suit
to attack. The hand contains q
wealth of potential tricks, but un-
fortunately East has gotten of to
the killing" lead and declarer has
only one time unit in which to estab-
lish his nine tricks, because as soon
as the lead is relinquished the heart
suit will become established. 1t is
imperative, therefore, to build up
the ninth trick with the loss Of only
one, early in the play. If declarer
should go for the diamonds, by con-
ceding a trick in that suit, he will
count up to only eight tricks, with
the ace of clubs still in the hands OF
the enemy, who now hold an estab-
lished heart suit.
III the CLUBS should break 3-3 de-
clarer can by giving up the ace Of
that suit count 10 tricks. The odds
