1t is for the British, the French
and the Americans - always Keep
ing the door open to the Russians
and seeing to it they are fully IN
formed - to propose a plan o the
political reconstruction OF the Wnole
of Germany and to proceed at
once to put it into operation, step
by step, in the three western zones
The main objections will be az.
|vanced. The Russians will say at
first that this means the forma-
ton of a western bloc with the
Ruhr as it's principal arsenal. Many
British and Americans will argue
(a) that Germany cannot be re.
constructed unless the whole OF
Germany is included, CD that II
we solve the problem OF western
Germany first, we shall have lost
our bargaining power, which IS IN
the Ruhr, and shall have ceded
Eastern Germany irretrievably to
the Russians.
These objections seem to me the
product of inertia and of a false
dilemma. They all come down to
the same conclusion, which is that
nothing constructive can be begun
unless by unanimous consent the
whole edifice is constructed stimuli
taneously. But why, I should like
to know, must we believe this:
Why, of all people in the world,
should Americans believe that
when it denies the very principle
we have proved in our constltu-
tional experience?
We believe, and the British and
The French now believe. that Ger
many should be reconstructed as
a federation OF some ten or eleven
more or less sovereign states. Three
of these states are in the Soviet
zone. Assuming that, as things
are now, the Russians may not
agree to let them become federat-
ed with the western states, this
would be no sufficient reason for
holding up the whole project in
the western zones.
The British can do in their por-
ton of Prussia what we have al
ready done in south Germany -
namely, decentralize it into three
or four states, say a Schleswig-
Holstein with the old Hansa cities
of Hamburg and Bremen and Lue-
beck, a greater Hanover, a North
Rhineland state, and a Rhur state
under special international control.
The French a bring about a SINH
lar reconstruction in their zone.
This first step does not require
unanimous consent; it can be taken
by the British and the French on
their own authority.

four or five persons, but no de-

He said, in part, my crew and
I hit the silk near the city of
Kraqujevac, south of Belgrade, on
July, 1914. We spent approximately
40 days in Yugo. Our lives were
safeguarded by the Chetniks; we
were consentantly on the move in
order to avoid any contact with the
German troops prevalent in that
area Our guides told us in all
sincerity that the Germans execut-
ed five of their people for failure
to disclose our whereabouts.
Though rules and regulations may
say no, to me this man is an Amer
lean citizen . :"
Interviewed last night, Volk said
that he wrote the above in response
to a telegram sent from Chicago,
where the Airmen's committee was
formed.
Contact Made
Speaking of his experience in
Yogoslavia, he said that contact
was made with the resistance fight
ers Immediately after he and his
crew got to the ground.
Under the Chetniks care, he and
other evaders, shuttled up and
down the channels of the Under
ground for over a month. They
were housed and fed by peasants
who were working hand in glove
with the rugged g%uerrillas.
Food Divided
There was little to offer in the
way of food, said Volk, but it was
divided impartially between pro-
tectors and fleeing airmen. Po-
tatoes and bread they had, but
very little meat.
Volk met and shook hands with
Mihailovich. The leaders Eng
lish was very broken, he reports.
Quite a few of the men in the up
per brackets of the Underground
spoke the language passably how
ever, he said.
Rejoined Units
On August Is, Volk and his COM
panions were restored to their own
organizations, being flown to Italy
by an American expedition.
The American evaders had built
an airstrip and the 18th Air Force
dropped paratroops with radio
equipment which summoned the
rescue party.
Volk was hospitalized in Italy
for a fortnight for nourishment
and rest. He returned to the states
in September to serve in Texas for
the remainder of his Army career.
Trained at Davis
Joining the Army on July %, |
1912, he had taken air cadet ex-
at Camp Davis. He
flew with the Eastern Flying
Training command until May 81,
