The German Temper

Even as the Moscow Conference
discusses proposals for future Ger
man democracy, reports from Hit
ler's shattered Reich indicate that
all too many of the people there still
think along poisonous Nazi lines.
Underground groups are rounded
up every now and then, but pamph-
lets attacking the victors and de-
Tending the Fuehrer's rule continue
to circulate among an apparently
large and appreciative audience.
Contrite hearts seem to be in a mi
nority. Nothing comparable to ia
pans theological conversion can be
found in Germany. BY and large,
according to more than a few ac-
counts, the mood is one of self-justi-
ication and self-pity, with no
marked enthusiasm for democratic
way of life.
The latest bit of evidence in this
connection has just come from our
occupation zone. In an extensive
public opinion poll conducted by the
American Military Government, it
has been found that six out of every
ten Germans remain deeply i'm
bued" with strong anti-Semitic feel
ings. The official analysis of this
poll indicates the following: 18 per
cent Of the population continue
rabidly anti-Jewish; 20 per cent
would not object to oppressive ac-
ton against "non-Aryans" another
20 per cent would rationalize such
action in terms of nationalism;
other groups would be completely
Indifferent; only 2 per cent would
positively oppose racial hatred and
persecution.
On the strength of these figures,
the American poll-takers have con-
cluded that complete elimination of
German anti-Semitism "is very
long-range problem, likely to take
generations" This may be over
pessimistic, but the poll, together
with other signs, certainly makes
clear that much more than a Mos
COW agreement on democratic forms
will be needed to convert Hitler's
erstwhile followers to democracy.
The situation, of course, is greatly
aggravated by the fact that living
conditions in Germany today-the
Transformation diet, the terrible
housing, the physical destruction,
the wrecked economy, the physcho-
logical effects of total defeat-do
not encourage the building of free
society.
Clearly enough, these conditions
will have to be mitigated as quickly
as possible, and there will have to be

Industrial Extremes

The settlement of the threatened
rubber strike and the collapse of the
long strike at the AlliS-C Chalmers
Company serve to point up the good
and the bad in American industrial
relations.
1t was possible to reach an agree
ment in the rubber industry be-
cause, in the words of manage
ment spokesman, the representa-
tives of both parties "attempted to
understand the other fellows view
point and acted like reasonable
people" The outcome was "rea-
sonable settlement" in which the
members of the CIO United Rubber
Workers will receive a wage in
crease of eleven and one-half cents
an hour-this increase to be alb
sorbed by the rubber companies
without resort to price increase.
At the other extreme is the pic
ture in Milwaukee following the
decision of members of Local 248
of the CIO United Automobile
Workers to return to their jobs at
Allis- Chalmers after a bitter and
costly strike which lasted 1913 days.
In announcing the end of the
strike, which failed as the result of
back-to-work movement, the
union issued this statement: "We
are firmly convinced that our fight
must now be carried on inside the
plant. In making the recommenda-
ton to return to work. we want to
assure members of Local 248 that
the union will never surrender to
this arrogant and despicable COM
pany. We will continue our fight
until we win the contract we are
entitled to-" And the company, in
its turn, assured the returning
workers that 1--WE will continue to
fight with all our strength against
those (union leaders, who try to
undermine the relations between
you and the company"
The strike itself was character
lied by almost every conceivable
abuse, by intraunion politics. by
charges of Communist domination,
and by decline of CIO union men,

ers now are almost evenly divided
between the UAW and AN inde-
pendent union. Considering this
background, and in the light of the
return -to-work statements, it seems
almost inevitable that Milwaukee
will be the scene of a continuing
industrial war.
Yet the turn of events in the
rubber. industry, which has had its
own full share of industrial strife
in it's day, raises a hope of better
things to come. If spirit of rea-

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

Mr.. Marshall, however. in demanding
democratic German state, defines in
six points exactly what he means by
such state. Had Yalta been as precise
in definitions, the recent elections would
have had to be Cancelled by the U. N.

as originating in the people.

In point six, Mr.. MarshaL-for the
first time in any postwar document, and
including the four freedoms-seeks to
re-establish the primary and most i'm
portant of all freedoms, namely, habeas
corpus-security from arbitrary arrest
There is all the difference between Mr.
Marshalls statement and freedom from

ity and ambiguity; between a specific
pledge and Utopian promise; between
saying what you mean and hoping that
events will give the correct" inter-
probation to piouS hope
If Mr.. Marshall's longed-for lucidity
is that of military mind, thank heaven
for some qualities of that kind.

When the military mind designs and
orders an operation to achieve an OBJ
jective, it dare not describe it in terms
open to dozen interpretations by the
commander. In matters of life or death,
meanings must be crystalline. But peace
is also a matter of life or death; the
fate of frantic millions hangs on the
meaning Of words.
Let the words, therefore, be honest,
clean, limpid, candid. factual, commit
tai, Affirmative, civilized.
And down with weasel words, shaded
meanings, noncommittal.
Down with adjectives that destroy
the noun, and adverbs which disarm the

spiracy, obscurantist cabalistic. Down
with the destroyer words; the under
mining words; the words that make an

Secretary of State Marshan's state
ment to the Council of Foreign Ministers
in Moscow, setting forth his views on the
future political structure of Germany,
restored what has long been lacking
from international conferences: namely,
eXactitude Of expression.
Mr. Marshall uses words to convey
meanings, not to obscure them. The
mind that formulated the proposals of
the United States delegates so crisply
that they are contained in a thousand
words or less reveals itself as orderly,
candid and precise One needs but COM
pare the Marshall statement with those
of Teheran, Yalta, Potsdam, or even
with the preamble to the San Francisco
Charter, to see the difference between
fuzziness and clarity.
For that matter, one need but COM
pare Mr. Marshall's statement with that
of Mr.. Molotov, made at the same time,
to see the enormous difference between
two minds and two cultures. Mr. Mar
shall says exactly what he means, and
nobody can possibly misinterpret him.
Content and form are perfectly fused
and, thereby, the English language, at
least, is rehabilitated.

Mr. Marshall has restored style to
public documents. Style has been sim
gularly lacking, not only from States
manship but from statementship, dur
ing the war and postwar periods. Words
like "peace-loving" and democratic"
have been literally sprinkled into every
policy statement, their meaning reserved
for anybody's Interpretation. The re-
suits have been disastrous In Mr..
Marshall, at long last, we have leader
whose statements we can read with
pleasure.
Mr. Molotoy continues to speak in the
peculiar hobble-gobble jargon of Com
munist idiom, which has hitherto seemed
infectious. Soviet words are deliberately
designed to convey at least two mean
ings-one to the international Com
munist church." well versed in inter-
preting Communist cabalism-and the
other to the trusting innocents outside.
The Yalta declaration, statement of
incredible sloppiness leaving all the SIS
ndotted and "t's" uncrossed, thus con-
veyed to the world Communist move
ment the news that the Soviets had
triumphed and the Lublin Camarilla
made certain of tenure. Meanwhile,

ise of democratic" elections which
might reverse or modify the coup de

Gromyko Answers

The Russian delegate to the
Security Council has given the best
answer to those like Henry Wallace,
who oppose the administrations
policy in the Eastern Mediterranean
on the ground that the program OF
aid to Greece should have been in
itiated in the United Nations.
The question before the Council
concerned the mining of the Corfu
Channel and the resulting deaths
of forty-four British sailors when
two destroyers hit the concealed
mines last october %. 1t was made
clear enough that the channel was
mined, If not by the Albanian
authorities then at least with their
knowledge and approval. Yet a
compromise verdict to the effect
thst the mines could not have been
laid without the knowledge of the
Albanian. authorities was blocked
when Russia, supported by her
satellite Poland, elected to use the
veto power to shield her satellite
Albania.
This experience amply demon
strates the emptiness of the argu-
ment that the administration
should have moved to aid Greece
and Turkey through the United
Nations. In the first place it was
necessary to take prompt action,
and this would not have been pos
sible under the time consuming
U. N. procedures. Secondly, nothing
effective could have been done
without Russian assent. and if the
Russians would not permit the
return Of fair verdict against
Albania in the channel mining Incl
dent it is something more than
absurd to suppose that she would
assent to the extension of any
effective aid to the present govern
ments of Greece or Turkey.
The plain truth is that the
United Nations simply cannot func-
ton in any matter which Russia
deems adverse to her interests, and
the Wallace argument, while super
ficially appealing, is fatally de-
fective in its failure to take this
fact into account. @a

The Last Viceroy

A certain S0lemnlCy CendS 10 IN
vest passing of empire. This is
especially true when the exit is
dignified. And surely this applies
to the liquidation of Britain's rule
over India. OF the British RAJ" it
can be said that, like a certain emf
rent parsonage, nothing becomes its
life more than the leaving of it.
Day before yesterday, Lord Louis
(Viscount) Mountbatten took the
oath of Office as Viceroy of India,
the living symbol and representa-
tive of the British monarch who is
still, by title. emperor of an Asiatic
subcontinent as large as historic
Europe or China and inhabited by
well nigh 4OO,O00,000 people. He
assumed Office in the vast Durbar
Hall of the palace at New Delhi be-
fore an audience comprising the
leading lights of the land. A retinue
of native princes, resplendent in
gorgeous costumes encrusted with
priceless jewels, and high British
officials in their impressive regalia
lent touches of splendor to throng
which also contained the heads of
political parties and religious COM
munities All the traditional cere-
monies were observed. Outwardly,
it might have, seemed like the in
vestiture of any one of his twenty
eight predecessors. Even the shade
of that naughty proconsul, Lord
Curzon, would not have been Of
Tended, had he been an invisible
spectator.
Yet every one present knew that
Lord Louis was the last of his vice.
regal line; that in a trif1e over
twelvemonth the British Raj would
come formally and unequivocally to
an end; that in its stead, power
would pass to some authority or
authorities as yet undetermined.
There, indeed, is the most extraor-
binary feature of this truly un-
precedented proceedings handing
over of the attributes of sover-
eighty in the manner of a blank
check, to be filled out later in the
name of persons or parties today
uncertain. For the Indians them
selves stand bitterly divided on the
question of succession and appear
likely to fight over it, as over the
legendary apple of discord ALI the
new Viceroy could do was to make
a rather pathetic appeal for CO.
operation and understanding among
those to whom such qualities seem
difficult or impossible of peaceful
attainment.
Indeed, even as the decorous in
vestiture of the last Viceroy pro-
ceeded, in the stately palace at New
Delhi, the ancient bazaars of Old
Delhi, few short miles away,
echoed with the furious cries of
rioters while. over the nearby coun-
tryside, villages famed as Hindu,
Moslem, and Sikh partisans slaked
their fanatical passions in blood
shed and destruction of property.
The British Raj, which has given
India order and stability for some
two centuries, is withdrawing from
the scene. But the ancient feuds
have persisted beneath this aloof
ascendancy imposed from without,
and now threaten to turn India
back to the chaotic turmoil which
prevailed before the British came.
We can only hope that, somehow or
other, this grim specter will be exor-
cised. Yet the omens are not bright.

Who Gets Trimmed?

1t may be, as some members OF
Congress have charged. that the
publicity given Treasury plans for
the firing of large numbers of in
ternal revenue and customs agents
was of the inspired" variety. And
it may be that some of the accounts
have given what Representative
Dirksen characterized as an "exag-
gerated" picture of the effects of
the $80,000,00 budget slash which
the House decreed for the Treasury.
Inspired or not, exaggerated or
not, the fact remains that the cuts,
insofar as they affect operations of
these two revenue protecting agen-
cies, were made at the expense of
two branches of the Government
which for years have paid their own
way. More than that, they have
returned to the Treasury profits
many times in excess of the initial
investment. If it is true, as the
Treasury maintains-and there Is
no reason to question the figures
that the eight -thousand-odd reve-
nue. agents slated for dismissal
under the budget reduction pro-
duced more than half a billion dol
lars in additional taxes last year,
the wisdom of saving" the rela-
lively small salary cost of this
profitable enterprise is hard to COM
prehend.
Treasury estimates OF personnel
reductions In the customs service
necessitated by the prospective fund
decrease have been described as
misleading and unfounded" by
Chairman Garfield of the House
Appropriations Subcommittee which
proposed the reduction. The Treas
ury will have an opportunity to
justify it's estimates later this week,
when Senate hearings on the bill
begin. The conflicting views of
Treasury and House spokesmen on
this important phase of the econ
omy program should be thoroughly
aired.
Certainly Congress should move
slowly in effecting budget savings
which, in the end, might administer
more of trimming to the taxpay>
erS than to the current budget.
