BERLIN, Mar. 26-In the Soviet
occupied zone of Germany there
are more road signs in Russian than
in German. But you can be sure of
finding your way to at least two
places in every town: The military
government kommandatura and the
headquarters of the German Com
munist party.
The facade of the kommandatura
is invariably ablaZe with red flags,
red bunting and electric lights,
which frame bold notices of the
revolution and huge pictures of
Prime Minister Stain and other So
Wet heroes.
| The Communist headquarters
looks almost identical, on a smaller
scale, producing an effect which
shouts the implication that "the
Soviet military administration is the
boss, but we are the junior partners
| here"
Russians Are Leaders.
There. by the canny technique of
advertising who is calling the tune,
you have one of the major differ
ences between the Russian zone and
ours. In their zone, the Russians
do the leading and they let the
Germans know it. The other
three occupying powers, particularly
America, have no perceptible posi-
tive plan and they tell the still
daZed and unreconstructed Germans
that they must work things out
for themselves now by democratic
processes"
| The atmosphere in the Soviet zone
today is full of noise and movement
1t vibrates with the strident voices
of haranguing politicians and is
feStooned with factory smoke.
The Russians, hordes of them by
comparison with the thinned ranks
of American Military Government
establishments, have rolled up their
sleeves, spit on their hands and
tackled with the giant energy of
an army of Paul Bunyans, the job
OF running their share of the fallen
Reich the way they want it run.
The noise they are making sounds
like the noise of the greatest power
in the Eastern Hemisphere ham
mering out and mailing down a new
western frontier on the River Elbe.
Specialization Is Plan.
The blueprint they are using as
a pattern for the lives of nearly
% 900, 900 Germans in the zone is
one of broad specialization, manipu-
lated for the most part by hand
picked leftist German political
leaders, backed and prompted by
the Red Army Of Occupation.
| Whether you consider this state
of affairs bad for Germany and
sinister for the world at large de-
pends on your political viewpoint
and on whether you think Russia is
forging swords or growing olive
branches But good or bad, by
fair means or foul, the Russians
have got the jump on us in the
rebuilding and reshaping of Ger
many. Furthermore, there is much
| to be said in favor of what they
have done already.
German Leaders Selected.
For instance:
l. The Russians know as we'll as
anybody that the mass of the Ger
man population is wavering, stupid
and hopeless, and without a spark
of healthy leadership 1t is from
the remaining handful of real anti
Nazis that they are selecting Ger
man leaders. Most OF them have had
more than bird's-eye view OF
concentration camps.
| 2. They have been realistic about
denazification. They got rid of the
big shots fast, but if nominal

ACTON FOR NEW HIGHWAY TAKEN,
 VANCOUVER MEET

VANCOUVER. B. C., Nov. 26- A resolution urging immediate &C., tion" by Ottawa and Washington, D. C., in linking up Alaska and Washington State by highway through British Columbia was ap- proved by delegates to the Pacific Northwest Trade Association here yesterday.
 The action came after U. 5. Sen- ator Warren G. Magnuson (D- Wash.) voiced criticism of the De- n.inion Government for it's "leth- argy" in connection with develop ment of the Canadian West.
 The Sena tor yesterday, in reply ing to criticism of his earlier state ment, said he did not think he was "unduly critical and suggest ed that the $5,000,000 which the Dominion will have to spend annu- ally for maintenance of the exist ing military highway would be bet ter invested with the United States and British Columbia in building another route"
 The Western hignway, he said, would carry traffic warranting the expenditure and would pay for the maintenance.
