faith and a purpose we haven't
got"
Thomas compares the German
attitude with that Of an ''Unele
Tom" That Is what you think
Of when you're Rrst with them.
They bow and smile and scrape,
but In about two months, they'll
be giving orders" The Germans
he came into contact with seemed
to think there was only one thing
wrong about their losing the war,
and they blamed that on Hitler's
failure 10 let his generals run
the war.
But he seemed to find one thing
significant, and that was in spite
of Hitler's "Mein Kampf," with It's
doctrine Of Aryan supremacy, the
German people didn't take hold Of
the anti-Negro propaganda like
they did the anti-Jewish propaRan-
dR. Thomas said anti Semitism Is
strong in Europe, even outside
Germany.
When UNRRA IL dissolved, the
burden Of carrying on the duties
Of occupation In the American
zones will fall upon the u. s. Army.
Congress may be complaining
now about the cost Of occupation,
but II will be worse without UN-
RRA," Thomas predicted.
Europe Is burdened with a great
number Of displaced persons and
refugees whose future win be even
more preearious after the dissolu-
ton Of UNRRA. There are the
refugees from the Baltic areas such
as Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,
who have refused to return to their
homes because they don't want TO
live under Russian control They
want independence for their eoun-
try and so are wandering around
aimlessly, shifted from camp TO
camp. The Germans won't give
them citizenship, and immigration
restrictions bar them from other
nations.
The United States didn't an its
immigration quotas during the
war, and, according to Thomas,
could afford TO admit approximately
800, 900 people. 1T would be a ire
mendOus help, especially a. far a.
the Baltic question h concerned. II
seems as II the U. s. could take
the lead and open up immigration.
Other countries would follow the
example by letting down their
bars" he said.
As far as a final word shout
UNRRA goes, Thomas said that In
spite of criticism, UNRRA hAs
performed a service for the home
less peoples Of war-torn Europe,
and has prevented millions from
suecumbing to famine and mass
disease.
He will leave Minneapolis 10 re-
turn to his UNRRA post on De
cember 10. Until that time, he will
be getting acquainted with his IL
months-old daughter, Judith Ann,
whom he saw for the first time on
his arrival last week. He summed
up his introduction TO his daugh-
ter with: "She looked at me and
looked at her"
Before joining the UNRRA over
seas staff, Thomas was an infantry
captain attached to the special
services division Of the U. s. Army.
