the first step toward making Germany self sufficient France and Russia expected to come into line gradually, thus removing all trade barriers between zones.
 Secretary of State James F. Byrnes has made three important declarations on American aims in Europe changing government policy the situation in Germany has developed
 The first of these statement of last Dec. l2 on Germany's peacetime economy. It set forth these four principal objectives Increase the export of coal to liberated Settle the German rep- arations question Set up uniform and centralized ontrol of German finance, transport and comnruni- ationS for all four of the occupied Zones Prevent lass starvation in Germany during the past Winter.
 Other developments which have made necessary he changing of orders given the D. s. military gov rnment authorities in Germany include two recent peeches by Secretary Byrnes
 Before 150 German officials at Stuttgart on Sept
 Byrnes proposed that Germany be united under provisional central government with which peace reaty could be negotiated
 On Oct. B. before the American Club in Paris Byrnes made another speech D. s. foreign policy in which he brought forward again his proposal for a four-poWer treaty guaranteeing the disarmament of Germany for 40 years
 These the public declarations which have made necessary a revision of 1PCOG 1067. Not made public number of cables from the State Depart ment to General McNarney, directing changes in policy as new situations have arisen.
 All such orders being reviewed. con- pletely rewritten order to the Army in Europe will result, to govern the American until the next phase of developing peaceful German nation is called for.

German Policy

WASHINGTON Oct N- (NEA) -U. s. State Department directives policy to be carried out in Germany by Generals Joseph T. McNarney and Lucius D. Clay being completely revised, and will be announced soon
 Effect of the changes will be to rewrite completely the directive known as IPCOG 1O67-the Informa Policy Committee on Germany's General Staff memo Mo- 1O67 approved in April 1945 General Eisenhower carried these orders into Germany after VIE Day They laid down the policy which U. s. military gov ernment authorities were to follow in the American zone and in the Allied Control Council in Berlin
 pCOG was disbanded year ago. It succeede; by SWNCC-the State -War-Navy Co-ordnating Com partments The job of rewriting 1067 has fallen ol SWNCC, under the chairmanshp of Assistant Secre tary of State John H. Hildring.

 All those things have now been done in tht American zone. In addition, there have been free elections in the three Laender states, making up the U. s. occupied area. Democratic governments have been elected from the smallest political unit upward State constitutions have been drawn up and will soon be submitted to the voters for ratification
 On top of this, there have been number oi important economic developments in Germany. The four occupying powers have agreed on Standardof- living level for Germany, based annual steel pro- duction of $500 900 tons-about one-fourth of Ger manys prewar output.
 The U. 8. and British zones have been unified

A Thought for Today
MT. Wallace Explains

Henry A. Wallace in letter the Washington Post, has beatedy explained the motive behind his atomic energy plan and presumably his Madison Square Garden speech His explanation also seems to throw some hght upon ' cause of his consequent difficulties.
 What am pleading for," he wrote, lis give on both sides"
 That may be Wallaces intention But in actual prac- tce he has been pleading for gve the American slde To be sure he has made mildly critical to Russian inransigence in international negotiations But we do not recall that he has made any direct pleas to the Russian government to "give"
 What persuaded him not to is conectura. Perhaps it was dsincination, fear that the plea might go un- needed Or have been that he felt that his Caolnet position did not warrant such action.
 At any rate Wallace did plead with the President of the United States to "give Since the plea counter to the established and operating policy it was not acted upo Wallace then went directly to the people with his suggestion
 Some like the Wallace view and some don't But even his most ardent enthusiasts could scarcely make the serious claim that Wallace either in his Madison Square Garden speech his opposition the Baruch atomic energy pa was pleading for " give on both sides"
 It is clear that the only effective place where such pleading done is either face to face with Russian rep resenatives conference table or In meetng "lh the head of the Soviet government himself Such plead ing be successful must be cloaked with authority ana backed by strong popular support Neither gentle chdng fiery denuncaton uttered in America to American auo ences, is likely to get far.
 Wallace, whatever his desires, not in position to make this effective pea But he was veteran and popular political figure with large IOuOW1ng Even oAe-SAueo plea supported by this following certain to gain at tention.
 It may be that Wallace hoped that this unateral plea to "gve if needed would Russia to similar sort enng attitude Though American representatives had tried being concatory earlier and with unhappy results perhaps Wallace thought that at the same tactics wouo turn the trick.
 Obviously, it didn't. The Russian press gave proml to the former Commerce Secreay critical views o this governments policies. The Communist press m Amer ica appauded Russian charges of American nm periaisc encircement, which Wallace had echoed in es sence re-echoed from Russia. And that was that.
 Thus it appears that if what Wallace pleading fol was give" on both sdes he brought it off rather badly AS consequence he to have aggravated situation which he hoped to

THE END OF THE NAZIS
(New York Times

(NeW YOrK l1meS)
 Hated and despised by all man. kind, includlng their own disillus- toned people now, eleven Nad lead- CTS found guilty of atrocious crimes have paid for those crimes with their lives. The path which they mistook as . road of glory, leading them to the conquest of the world even if it led over mountain Of corpses, has led them instead to an ignoble end on the gallows and an unknown and unhonored grave. By paying the supreme penalty they have atoned TOT their miSdeeds as far as any individual can, and by becoming the first objects of a new international justice which reaches into the spheres of the mighty to punish the crime of aggressive war they have performed at least one service to the world, service from which Hitler himself fled into a Wagnerian self -immolation. Their death cannot undo the evil they have wrought, nor bring back to life a single one of the millions they have slaughtered, but their hanging is agrim warning to all who would emulate them that mankind has entered upon a new stage in inter national morality, and that in the end the angered forces of humanity must triumph over those who out rage it.
 But if the Nazl leaders are to serve as object lessons for the fut- ure, it is essential that the lesson should be read aright. It has be- come all too common to rgeard them with an inversion of Nazi racial logic, as inhuman monsters bred only by the German race and there fore impossible among other peoples. That is a snug and dangerous fallacy. Monsters they were and they wore the imprint of their Ger man environment. But they were also something far more general and all too human They were startling illustrations of the sinister depths to which. human nature can sink and it's infinite capacity for evil when it embraces a philosophy and 
 system which extoll the group ego of race, nation or class to the point of destroying all individual human dignity and rights and sanc- tion crime in the name of higher morality in which the end justifies the menas.
 With the possible exception o1 Streicher, and despite all their per sonal enrichment, all the condem- ned Nazis professed to be patriots leading their people from past de- feat to new grandeur and power 1T the manner of the conquerors o1 old, or obeying the orders of law ful authority which it was botf unprof1table and dangerous to defy
 There is little doubt that undel
