The council was set up early
this month by President Truman
appealing to all Americans to
deny themselves a substantial
part of their daily bread" so that
millions may survive who are
otherwise doomed to death by
starvation" The Council, after a
day-long conference in Washing
ton, recently issued a call to the
people of this country to eat
40 per cent less wheat and 20
per cent less fats.
Mr.. We'll voiced his confidence
that the profoundly humanitar-
ian detectives of the emergency
food program will inspire Am
orleans to cooperate wholeheart-
edly in the movement to stave
off the death by starvation of
untold millions in the hard-hit
areas of Europe.

In direct contrast to the type Of

justice. or at least the American
brand. is not as swift as that. What

not unlikely that there will be re-

by the high tribunal now sitting and
which has been hearing testimony
for months.
There arc those who hold 10 the
theory. however. that most of these
twcnty-odd bigshots will be "liuui-
dated Their theory is that the trial
was mere formality: that il was
staged for history's sake. and that
the fate of these men was sealed IN
advance. Well. we doubt that. The
farther removed we become from
those horrible days during and Just
before Hitler plunged the world into
blood bath the less keen is the
thirst for retribution. Western peo-
pie are a forgiving lot. even if they
do not so easily forget.
1t will be intensely interesting TO
