Gen. Lucius Clay, in reprimanding
the governments of the German laen-
der for delay in denazification, did not,
apparently, question the process itself.
Yet our means of accomplishing denaZi-
fication, as Mrs. Anne O'Hare McCor-
mick pointed out in dispatch last
week, Is creating administrative anarchy
and Is under vehement criticism, not
from dubious persons, but from the best
Germans we can get; from surviving
relatives of anti-Nazi martyrs and from
many American officials.
A Nazi-defined as any one who Joined
the party before 1937-is dismissed from
his post. The inference is that to have
become a party member so early Is
prima facie evidence OF philosophical
conviction. Things aren't so simple.
The Nazi party was hierarchal struc-
ture, run from the top. Inner party
activities and those operations demand
ing by nature jealous Nazis, such as
persecution, prosecution and indoctrina-
tion, were in the hands Of reliable NaZis.
But not all activities were Of this nature.
There were social work features, for in
stance, and purely technical activities,
such as ration control.
The NaZi party, which, as the state
itself, finally embraced all social activ-
tiles, operated largely by the process
of "gleichschaltung." In taking over
the functions of the republic they took
over the functionaries, provided these
were not burdened by previous record
of hostile political actions. The func-
tions were largely political. A postman
continued to deliver mail and postal
clerk to sort it; physician or nurse in
a state-operated hospital continued to
treat the sick; station master or ticket
agent continued to serve the railroads.
All were threatened in their jobs (and
pensions) by the pressure of Office
seekers from the hordes of Nazi 'front.'
fighters" expecting to be rewarded by
the revolution for their street brawling
and heiling. The best way to guarantee
ones job against these was to hold a
party card-just as the best way to hold
ones job today in the Russian zone is
to possess a Communist party card.
The Nazi higher-ups, anxious to have
an orderly functioning, welcomed these
even against their vociferous claimants
as long as they held their tongues
and properly performed their services.
There was certainly nothing heroic
about them. They were those typical
private persons" whose lives are lived
and responsibilities felt only within the
radius of home and Office or shop.
By this manner the NaZi party alb.

This Changing World
Bv Constantine Broun

Oficial quarters in Washington are
looking for hot fight in the U. N.
Security Council over the American
take 1t or leave it" proposal to place
the former Japanese inundated islands
under a limited u. N. trusteeship, with
the United States retaining all the fun
damental rights of sovereignty therein.
Soviet Russia, which has gone to some
ridiculous extremes to read dire threat
and menace to herself in many ordinary
precautions of the Western democracies,
will certainly take exception to the great
powers which this Government insists
on retaining in the Marshall Caroline
and .Marianas Islands, and at very least
will insist on having periodic reports
perhaps international inspections - on
American military activities in the
islands.
American delegates have already taken
steps to forestall this effort in the U. N.
by making it clear that no use OF the
veto power will be tolerated and that
the trusteeship agreement which will be
submitted is not subject to change
through negotiation or bargaining. II
there is any objection to the terms under
which we will accept U. N. trusteeship,
we will simply keep the islands under
American sovereignty, where they are
today.
These islands represent no offensive
threat to Soviet Russia, although Amer
ican possession of therh-under trustee
ship or not-will make certain that no
power, Russian or otherwise, will be able
to launch any successful attack on Amer
ican possessions in the Pacific.
y \ X
The former Jap mandates under
American control will make an Ameri-
can lake of the Pacific and will enable
this country to defend all those lands
Indonesia, the Philippines, Australia
and the Japanese islands themselves
which, in the hands of hostile power,
could be q fearful threat to American
security.
It is to ward off one part Of this
threat that the American Government
finds it necessary to support Chinese
regime which is independent of Mos
cows control. After seeing what has hap
pened in Europe-with all the states Of
the Soviet bloc, diplomatic and military,
for the Soviet Union-the United States
would be sacrificing its primary defense
interest to permit the Chinese govern
ment ever to come under Moscow's rule.
The islands of the Central Pacific rep
resent not only bastion Of military de-
fense in themselves, but gigantic sup
ply line to Asia, which would be vitally
essential If America ever had to fight
there again.
Our Pacific strategy-as it is envisaged
by American military and naval experts
is American possession of the great
heart area" of the Pacific. strongly

They Still May Serve

There are more than sentimental
reasons to be cited in support of
General Eisenhower's decision to
permit re-enlistment of combat
disabled soldiers who may be fit for
limited service with the Army. There
are many one-time casualties whose
physical handicaps are of such a
nature as not to incapacitate them
for further active duty. If they are
willing, as is one-armed Master Ser
geant Richard Montgomery, to re-
turn to duty, the Army stands to
benefit from their experience and
their obvious grit.
Sergeant Montgomery has done a
service not only to fellow veterans
who feel as he does but to the Army,
faced as 1t is with declining enlist
ments and increasing manpower
problems. The former B-29 radio
operators letter to General Eisen-
hover, asking why he could not re-
enlist despite the loss of an arm,
brought sympathetic response
from the chief of staff. Sergeant
Montgomery pointed out that he is
just as capable of performing his old
duties as radioman today as he was
before the Japs shot down his plane
in Burma nearly two years ago.
After being rescued from a prison
camp and fitted with a prosthetic
device, he found himself able to do
most of the things he had done be-
fore his arm was amputated.
So Master Sergeant Montgomery
is slated to be the first of World
War IFS disabled" veterans who
will be given an opportunity to re-
turn to the ranks of able-bodied
soldiers. Others like him who desire
to forsake the pension rolls and re-
turn to the active Army payroll will
be given similar consideration, pro-
vided they have no further need for
disqualification and are otherwise
able to measure up to physical
standards. The new policy will bring
cheer to many regular soldiers whose
Army careers were cut short by COM
bat injuries. A liberal Interpretation
and application of the policy would
be in the public interest.

To the Editor of The Star:
Edgar e. Barker, Civilian Production
Bureau, Zinc. Lead and Tin Branch
who advises Washingtonians how to
vote-resembles the bureau that he rep
resents and in addition is what we in
the Nations Capitol call Government
parasite, who, now that President Roose-
welt has doffed his "coat-tails" for
WINGS" can find no place to ride.
His reference to hot dog stand owners,
ETC., clearly shows that he has the same
opinion as most of the New Dealers
"the public be damned" There IS no
doubt IN the minds of the readers Of
his letter as well as those with whom
he is employed, and would bet that he
Is the head of his division through
pull" and not brains.
Never in my life have I seen more
disregard of public opinion from a ''pen-
ny" politician. But he has something
that others do not have-he put his
character in print. How sad he must
have felt when his letter came out
with honest men holding the reins!
For many years we, the people Of
Washington-also citizens Of California
and other States-have suffered from
these political parasites, both appointed
and elective, and we will welcome their
departure.
