What is it we need most in lirc-
training OF education!
We must have bot training an.
education The WORD are net s-u
onomous. Nor is one alone c1--a
Whatever training ha Been subsJ
tuted for education, as in Communis
Russia, Nazi Germany and Militar
istic Japan, the world has been give:
robot men as deadly as the robot
bombs and as bent on destruction
Education means TO | e & d out
1t involves a widening of vision ano
a deepening Of thought. 1t is crea-
tive and constructive. You can train
an animal but you can educate only
a man.
Training has its uses in making
customs become automatic habits
Just as the dictators train for cruel
ty-so we can and have trained our
citizens to observe the rights and
well being of others. OF course
there are eXceptions-but they stand
out because they are exceptions, not
the rule.
Our homes should be the training
ground for good manners and clean
illness, for r 6 h living and right
thinking. We can train ourselves
in all the qualities we most admire
in others. We can make a habit of
being punctual, courteous and con-
siderate. We can train ourselves in
to the habits Of perseverance a n d
concentration.
= On the basis Of such training we
are ready for education. Education
is not merely book learning Il IS
understanding It is the use of the
trained mind to learn, from people
and circumstances as well as from
books. 1t is the opening of w
doors of thought, through which APP
pear the vistas of our deepest ideals,
our truest dreams. 1t requires stead
fastness, perseverance, concentration
to become educated. But those who
are truly educated find new path
ways opening out before them, new
ways in which they may progress to
better way of life. The unframed
are the first to be laid off. The I'M
educated never rise above them
selves.
We need both training and educa-
ton. Only as all our citizens have
both and utilize both in their highest
sense, can we progress as a people
and, as a nation can we prove that
democracy where all men are free
to learn, is the way out from the
morass of ignorance which STILES as
it enslaves.

u. S.-British to
Rule Big Zones
Territory Taken Over Covers
Region Of GermanY's
Chief Resources.

WASHINGTON. - Completed ar
rangements for economic union
between American and British &C.
cupation zones involve less than
half of Germany's prewar territory,
but a major proportion of its popu-
laticn and industry and. much OF
it's agricultural resources.
Together, the United States and
British zones cover all of western
Germany except southwest patches
under French control.
The combined region amounts to
more than 10000 square miles
about the size of Minnesota-com-
pared with 85, $500 square miles
under the Russian and Polish adj
ministration, and about $500
square miles under the French.
Vast Population Involved.
American and British zones, how
ever, have a total population esti-
mated at more than 81 million,
while the other occupying powers
control only about % million. In
addition are the 3 million Germans
living in jointly held Berlin.
In the British zone is the battered
but rich Ruhr district that was the
Nazis' wartime arsenal, the main
source of the nations coal, iron and
steel output. The crowded, smoke
blackened cities of this region
produced explosives, ornaments,
chemicals, synthetic oil and rubber,
high-octane gasoline, textiles, dyes
and plastics. Ruhr coal fields nor
mally account for three-fourths OF
Germany's coal supply.
Also in the British zone are the
chief German seaports-Hamburg
and Bremen. The latter, with Its
surrounding country, has been set
aside as a trans-shipment point for
the landlocked American section.
Farming, too, is of considerable
in some portions OF the
British zone, especially in the Rhine
valley and the fertile plains of Han
over and Westphalia, long noted for
their vineyards and orchards, for
cereals, cattle and hog production.
Farming in South
The emphasis, however, is on
heavy industry in the north, COM
pared with the farm and forest
economy, which, together with light
industry, is conspicuous in the
States-occupied south. In
rural Bavaria, for example, largest
of the southern provinces, innumer-
able small farms yield grains, vege-
tables and dairy products.
From highland forests and the
valleys of the Main, upper Rhine
and Danube rivers come such raw
materials as wood, grapes and hops
used in local industry. Cottage in
dustries" and big city centers-
in Wurttemberg, Mann
helm in Baden and Munich in
Bavaria-turned out a variety OF
goods, ranging from carved figures,
beer and textiles, to chemicals, au-
tomobiles and airplanes.
Both the American and British
sections of the unified zone hold a
large share of the attractions pre-
war Germany offered tourists-n-
Guiding the Black Forest, Alpine
regions of health and vacation
resorts, and the historic, castle
crowned shores of the Rhine n
Danube. d.

Hitler Gambled
On British Help
Nazi Documents Disclose He
Expected Great Britain
To Remain Neutral.

WASHINGTON. - Recently cap
tured Nazi documents reveal tina
Hitler gambled right up to the dead
line that Britain would remain neu
trail or fight on Germany's side. As
late as September /, 1939-the day
Hitler's army invaded Poland-the
fuehrer insisted that Britain would
not enter the war. Two days later
Britain and France were fighting
Germany.
AS a result, Germany never was
prepared for a naval war and the
"war was in one sense lost before
it began" said n of the Maj
documents made public by the
navy.
At one time - the documents
didn't say when-Hitler even was
"striving for a political agreement
with England so he could concen-
trate on Russia" which he con-
sidered "the arch enemy of Ger
many and Europe"
These and other disclosures were
contained in three sets of captured
documents.
One of the most revealing of them
was written by Grand Adm. Doen-
itz, last commander of the Nazi
navy and the man who became the
fuehrer briefly after Hitler's re-
ported suicide in the last days Of
the war.
Ragged Over Navy
The documents also revealed
that:
Hitler, furious because his sur
face ships refused to fight, ordered
his battleships and S e r S
scrapped in 1884 and tricked the
Allies with a skeleton surface fleet
of ~destroyers from then until the
end of the war. German admirais,
however, were able to save their
big warships from the junk heap by
me preteXt or another.
German plans to invade England
we're cooked up by Hitler as a ruse
for hiding his real %plan-the inva-
sion of Russia.
Hitler expected to conquer Russia
in a few months.
Germany entered the war with
only 48 submarines.
When the United States entered
the war December II, 1941, the Ger
mans were able to send only six
U-boats to American waters for inn
mediate operation.
The Germans were prefabricating
submarines in scattered areas over
the Reich in an attempt to escape
heavy Allied bombings.
Ordered to Scrap Heap
Hitler's order to scrap all surface
units of the Nazi fleet larger than
.destroyers was issued January l,
1913, after the Nazi admirals failed
to deliver a promised great naval
victory.
"This means the passing of the
high seas fleet" Hitler ragged. at
is my irrevocable decision to do
away with these useless ships"
He ordered scrap from the ships
used to make tanks and guns for
his land armies.
Only one German battleship ven
tured out into the high seas after
the scrapping order-the Inflated
Scharnhorst, which steamed into a
British trap off the northern coast
Of Norway and was sunk.
Doenitz disclosed Hitler's false
nope that England would remain
neutral or fight on Germany's side
discussing the unpreparedness of
he Nazi navy.
He attributed this unpreparedness
to the fact that the German armed
'orces were designed for continent
al war, with England either neu-
raj or on the side of Germany"
