It's Easy to Get Around in Bermuda

HAMILTON, Dec. 6.-It's easy to
get around in Bermuda these days.
IBermuda's renowned ferryboats
take the visitor from one Parish to

with great aplomb-youd think you
were sailing on the Queen Mary,
the way bells ring, whistles blow
and gala passengers file on and off
at the various landings.
There's a tiny red train which
chugs and puffs down the length
of the islands from Hamilton to
st. Georges. There are also BIZ
cycles galore, which can be hired
for as little as ST for half day,
$3.50 a whole day or S. per week.
There are still many carriages
in Bermuda, for leisurely drives and
romantic atmosphere For those on
a limited time budget, however, the
tiny English-m taxis, driven by
expert natives, are best for a thor
ough sightseeing job of the islands.
TaXis are reasonable in price, rang
ing from about Sc for half day
and up, including waiting time.
There are $50 miles of roads in
Bermuda, winding and hilly, and
for the most part lined on both sides
with beautiful Towering hedges of
oleanders, hibiscus or bougainvillea.

For Total Mobilization" Now:
Nation Adopts New German Aims

Doors To Aid
N w Directive Declares
For Higher Living

BERLIN, July Is Up The
United States government, an
nouncing a revised policy toward
Germany, declared today "a sta
BILE and productive Germany
with a higher standard of living
was essential to European rscov'
cry and lasting peace.
The new policy, first overall
American directive On Germany
since the end of the war-appar-
emily opens the way for German
participation in the Marshall prop
osal for, European reconstruction.
The new directive was sent to
Gen. Lucius D. Clay, h. S. mill
tary governor, by U. S. State, War
and Navy departments. It repre-
scented an updating Of American
occupation policy, which officially
had been based largely upon the
old joint chiefs of staff directive
to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower
and the military government dated
April 16, 1945, - days before the
end of he war.
The new 6,OCO-word directive
laid down American detectives and
basic policies to be pursued in the
U. S. administration of still-parti'
toned Germany. 1t contained es'
pecially in its economic aspects,
some policy revisions which were
stated officially and publicly fol
the first time.
U. S. military government lead
ers here said they regarded the
document as the most important
American statement on Germany
since the speech of Former Secre'
tary of State James F. Byrnes ir
Stuttgart last fall, when he ad'
vocated the return of self-govern'
ment to the Germans as quickly
as possible.
Gen. Clay said that he regard
ed the "most important" part of
the directive 'the fact that it rec
ognizes the essential part which
Germany has in the revival of the
economy of Europe as a whole and
provides for the participation of
Germany in European revival"
Maj. Gen. William H. Draper,
chief economic adviser to Clay,
said the new economic policy was
a public and official discarding of
the Potsdam and war r propos-
ais which envisioned a pastoral
Germany and a stern peace.
