The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-03-13

cross section Of American troops stationed in Germany, shows that i0 per cent of them believed the Germans had some justification for starting the war. Fifty-one per cent said they believed Hitler did the Reich lot of good before 1889, acc cording to Q statement made by Bill Cunningham, well-known colum- hist, in the Democrat last week.)
 Let me explain why some of our CTS are coming home with such bleeding hearts. was with them, and know, They arrived in England devastated by bombs and heart- heavy and poor through years of war. They were shipped to some camp-another little America where they enjoyed American meat, chocolates, and cigarettes. Many English. in their despair and their poverty did not wine them and dine them. The English girls were not overly friendly-they were tired, poor and undernourished."
 It was the same when they got to the continent. Belgian, Holland, France lay torn and tattered from the brutal onslaught of the Ger mans. These people had little to offer the American CT. They were filled with gratitude to the hard- fighting American soldier who had given them back their countries and their liberties, but sometimes they were insistent that certain moral codes be upheld"
 Then the CT arrived in Ger many. He saw fine homes, fine clothes, and plenty of food-all siphoned from the suppressed and dying peoples of Europe. He saw rosy checked German girls who welcomed them warmly even in their homes and their grooming tables. They pretended they were humble and sorry for their sins. 1 am not here to speak of fraterniza- ton, but to remind AlA ericanS that the piles of bones in Belchen are mute testimony to the undeniable fact that the German love of dom- ination will never die in the hearts of the majority of that nation.
 "Humblest Man In Town"
 Several times during his address, Mir. Thomas emphasized his talk with the quotation of a philosopher who said: When the German man is down he is the humblest man in town"
 Also undeniable, he said, as is clearly evidenced by documents now Tn the hands of the Allies, that Hit Ter and the Germany people were pushing to conquer England and then with the help of Japan, in- wade America not later than l947.
 He asserted that Germany had made an attempt to invade the British Isles. at points near Dover and southeastern Scotland, 5S days after Dunkirk. Frustrated in their attempt, 5000 bodies of German soldiers, who took off from Ger many in invasion barges, were strewn on the beaches. Mir Thomas. arriving two days later, saw many of the corpses being removed from the Dover beach. For security req sons, he said the British govern ment issued a brief, 5S word state ment to that effect.
 Planned Invasion Of U. S.
 Orders issued to the German High Command. now in Allied hands, inc dicated that all the male popula- ton of the British Isles between the ages of IS and 45 were to be taken to German slave camps, with the exception of indispensable fish ermen. shipbuilders and coal min CTS. Those over 45 years of age were to be put to death.
 With the entire British male pop ulation working German intuition factories, the German orders pointed out that Germany would be prepar- ed to invade America by l947. with the expectation that conquest would be achieved not later than 1851. h. vasion points were planned in South Carolina, New Jersey. and New Eng land. Japan was to strike at point in Oregon.
 T tell you that so-called humility that the German people are showing now is just another German secret weapon" the speaker declared, eEn- phasiEing that America must wake up and think now. He said we are a thousand years removed from last August, when the first atomic bomb fell on Japan.
 Pointing to the need for able American statesmen to straighten out the chaotic international d4s- order. ME. Thomas urged that the salaries of congressman be suhstan- tially raised.
 "The thinking men, the visionary men who could solve our problems and those of the wolrd, are not at the reins of government because they are making more money in other fields. Most of the people we have in Washington today haven't the talent or the thinking power to hold a joh anywhere else"
 RnasiA Seeking Peace
 Urging American to put away their fear of war with Russia, MT, Thomas asserted if such a conflict does come to pasS, 1t will be of Ans eFiea's own making because of the distFust, tll feeling and antogonism existing against the Red govern ment,
 He pointed out that the haEd- fighting Russians had not only tur- ned the tide Of the war, but are very desIFious of peace with the world, He visited that country not long ago, he said, and spoke to many others who have recently returned | frnna AHaaauam nrlAa nafanRtaa that
