HEREFORD, Germany, Sept. II
-(P-Secretary Of State Brynes'
Stuttgart speech proposing meth
DDS to alleviate Germany's eco
nomic distress gave Germans new
hope at a time when a British
public opinion survey showed them
becoming "~hopelessly disillusion-
ed" with the Allies and democra-
cy.
The survey of what the Germans
r thinking, conducted shortly be-
fore Byrnes' speech, found that
food was the uppermost immedi-
ate question. but what Germans
wanted most was a definite goal
toward which they could work.
They could not see ANY clear
cut plan for the reconstruction
of Germany" reported one of the
British officers who conducted the
survey.
Most of the interviewed realiz-
ed that heavy industry with war
potentials must be eliminated. but
they could not understand why

"Disillusioned" Germans Eager For
Byrnes' Plan To Ease Present Ills

He said that a large proportion
Of Germans in the British zone
believe that the British alone are
responsible for the zones food
shortage, being unable after II
years of Nazi newspaper propa-
ganda to believe press reports OF
a world food shortage"
Another large section believes
the food cuts are a purely punt
tive measure, or designed to lower
German efficiency. They want to
starve us OUT they say. They
don't want to help u.s..
"Stories of coffee, maize and
even wheat being used as fuel in
South America create a belief that
Britain did not want to ship these
commodities to Europe" the Of
ficer said. THE Germans have yet
to understand the transport prob
lem created by the sinkings of
hundreds of freighters by U-boats
and the consequent difficulties of
being able to ship coal to South
America in exchange for food
stuffs."
Reports of food SURPRISES in coun-
tries such as Holland and Den
mark, which ordinarily supplied
food to Western Germany, par
ticularly the Rhur, lead Germans
to say: IF only we were allowed
to export we could buy these
surpluses," the officer said.
Germans often complain, he
said, that denazificatioa is not
proceeding quickly enough-"that
it should be dealt with once and
for all so that the zone may set
tie down and come to grips with
reorganization and uninterrupted
reconstruction"
The Germans asserted, he said,
that 1.-The wrong weeds are being
uprooted," namely the little men,
while the "big man remains at
his job OF turns it over to a
son or STRAW man" who was not
a Nazi SO that business a carry
on.
The survey found that few Ger
mans evinced interest in politics.
The word party is odious to
them and they would rather be
lett alone or else told what to
do said the report.

These increases, Senator Byrd said,
were offset partly by a 1906 reduction
effected by the Labor department, a
cut of 1855 by the Treasury depart
ment. and a reduction of 1,193 by the
Office of Price Administration.
Despite the administrations hue and
CIV for economy, there is no reason to
expect any substantial reduction in the
hordes on federal payrolls with a ma
tional presidential election only two
years ahead.

Why Limit It To The West?

If the necessary funds are made
available, the Bureau of Reclamation
proposes to undertake a four-year pro-
gram which will provide jobs for $780,
900 workers, with veterans given first
consideration. Providing the primary
IF" and any others that may arise are
disposed of, the proposal is to proceed
with eighty-two irrigation and multiple
purpose projects in seventeen western
states.
Granting that the Bureau of Recla-
nation program is a fine undertaking,
and wishing it success, the South has
good reason to feel sighted that the
projects should be restricted to western
states.
There is as great an opportunity for
reclamation south of the Mason and
Dixon line and as great need for federal
financing as there, even if irrigation is
not to be numbered among outstanding
needs.
Certainly there are eighty-two major
drainage projects in Dixie that this de-
partment could undertake with as great
benefits as will accrue from the irriga-
ton projects on the bureaus western
program.
Thousands of square miles await the
governments beneficent reclamation to
become as good farm and grazing land
as any equivalent area brought under
irrigation in the west.
