This Changing World
Soviet Ignores Demands by Belgium
For Won Paulus as War Criminal

and Kaliningrad, formerly Koenigs-
berg. Frau Won Paulus lives In
the western part of Germany. Re-
Gently she received postcard from
her husband. The return address
was a post Office box in Moscow
However, the Russian censor, realiz-
ing its implications, erased the
number of the box and substituted
the words prisoner of war camp.
Plans for Reich Army.
The name Free Germany Forces
has been changed to German
Forces of Liberation" Available in
formation is to the effect that
the Russian government intends,
as soon as the results of the Lon
don conference of foreign ministers
are known, to present this army
which contains many active Nazis
and other German elements-as the
national army Of the Reich which
eventually will be instrumental in
unifying Germany again.
Thus. while Marshal VASTLY
Sokolovsky. the Russian command
er ir Germany, accuses the West
ern powers of being slow in de-
notification, some real war GRIM
inals are being protected by the
government of the U. S. S. r.
Moreover, although all fortifica-
tions and military installations in
the western zones have been de-
stroyed and 80 per cent of the dis
mantied heavy industry has been
shipped to Russia, new Notifications
are being thrown up in the Russian
zone, and particularly in East Prus-
sia, which the Soviets annexed in
defiance of the Teheran and Yalta
agreements.
Still Buying U. S. Machinery.
Machinery for heavy industry is
still being purchased in the United
States and is being transported to
Soviet territory, while many of the
dismantled factories received as
Preparations" are being set up in
the area west of the Russo-Polish
border.
The Kremlin believes in the mill
tary axiom, You can't win on the
defensive" Hencesit is rushing mil
itary preparations and at the same
time has begun an all-out diplomatic
offensive, accusing the Western ma
tions and particularly the United
States of the very aggressive inten-
tions which the Russian leaders
themselves have in mind.
The Russians accuse America of
Nazis and war criminals.
while this very same class of Ger
mans enjoys complete immunity and
freedom in the Soviet Union, pro-
vided they agree to be Soviet tools.
They accuse the demilitarized West
ern powers of preparing for aggres-
sion at the same time. that the
USSR, from the Pacific to the Oder,
is seething with military activity.

lence and apologetics for terror as

order.
Bismarck Looked to East.
Furthermore, the most nationalist
German forces-especially strong in
the iarrny-have been East -oriented
since Bismarck. German reaction
aries always have been pro-Rus-
sian. Count Won Stauffenberg, the
aristocratic officer who almost killed
Hitler, was an antidemocrat who
wanted to make peace with Russia,
not with the Western Allies. Even
the exiled Kaiser saw Germany's
future with Russia, never with the
"decadent, utilitarian West" And
the man the Russians are keeping
on ice is not the middle-class poet,
Wilhelm PECK, but Gen. Won Pauus,
while Germany army of 10000 to
100000 men is being trained in the
U. S. S. r.
Mr.. Stain refused to agree to 40
years of German disarmament, hav-
ing stated categorically November z,
1912: 1T is not our aim to destroy
all military force in Germany =
1t is inadvisable from the point of
view of the future, but Hitler's army
should be destroyed
What has the European West to
offer to offset the attraction of such
a system, particularly to the Ger
man mind?
Richelieu Policy Failed.
France, UNDERSTANDABLE, hates and
fears Germany, but as Mr.. Stain
said: Hatred is a bad instrument of
policy" The dominant French
mood still Is that of Cardinal Rich
elieu: To keep Germany divided and
weak, that France may be relatively
strong But Cardinal Richelieus
perpetual policy has proved no solu-
ton for either France or Germany.
And what of a new Germany

Red army, part of Molotov's an
nounced plan Ito unite the peoples
into powerful army the equal of
which cannot be possessed by i'm
perialism" on the French frontiers?

ruthless murderer. On his orders
civilians were executed without trial
and reign of terror was conducted
by Won Paulus' troops.
According to existing agreements
between the former wartime Allies,
war criminals must be handed over
to the nation where they perpetrat-
ed their crimes 1t was on the basis
of this agreement that the British
q few weeks ago surrendered to
Marshal Tito a number of Serbs
and Croats whose principal guilt
was in following or sympathizing
with Gen. Draja Mihailovich.
Have Ignored Requests.
German generals were given up
to the Italians and other Allies on
whose territories war crimes were
committed. But because Won Paulus
was careful enough to embrace the
Free Germany movement in 1914,
a few months after the surrender
at Stalingrad, the Russian govern
ment has decided that he is not a
war criminal and consequently has
not dignified the Belgian request
with an answer, although the Brus-
sells government sent a full list of
the crimes to which the former
Nazi commander will be expected to
answer in court.
MoscoW's attitude is understand
able, however. Since 1943 when the
Free German movement was started
by the Russian general staff under
the leadership of Won Paulus' chief
of staff, Mai. Gen. Walther Won
Seydlitz, German prisoners of war
have been marshalled into a new
German force which the Russians
hope to plant in their zone of
Germany. This force is estimated
to number from 10000 to 100000
men.

community, in organized, cohesive
terms. But is France in her pres
ent condition capable of doing so?
And does any one dream that it can
be created without Germany firmly
integrated into an entirely new
European system?
Money, of itself, cannot create
anything. In the beginning is al
ways an idea-in this case, an idea
adequate to the demands of history.

Meeting Asks Hearing
By Civil Service on
3 FTC DismissaIs

A resolution calling for the Civil
Service Commission to hold a public
hearing on the dismissal of eight
colored clerical workers by the Fed
eral Trade Commission was adopted
last night by several organizations,
meeting in the quarters of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 20o2 Elev-
enth street NV.
Units of the United Public Work
ers of America (CIO) participated,
along with the national and local
groups of the association.
The organizations contend firing
Of the colored people was discrim-
inatory and that efficiency ratings
were lowered by FTC to expedite
the firings in violation of civil serv-
ice regulations.
Fund Reduction Cited.
An FTC spokesman last night
contended that this was not 50, but
that the dismissals were in line with
q recent Is per cent reduction in
appropriation. He said that among
other persons fired were five high
paid division chiefs and an official
earning $4,000 year.
A spokesman for one of the organ
izations declared dismissals of the
higher-paid officials did not consti-
tute fair comparison with the
releasing of the clerical workers,
and that the latter were dropped
because they were colored.
The dismissed employees were from
the FTCs financial reporting unit
and had transferred from OPA when
the units Junction. were absorbed
by ETC. UPWA Charged the trade
commission attempted in December,
1916, to have civil service regula-
tions so interpreted" that the
agency could eliminate persons 1t
did not want.
2-Week Notice Protested.
The trade commission then ac-
cepted the group of employees,
UPWA declared, but for the first
few weeks they were given no reg
ular assignments and the colored
workers were segregated from other
employees.
When FTC reduced its staff, the
colored workers were dismissed as of

pressed consumers of American
goods.
Already discussed here have been
the usual unpalatable methods to
halt the present trend. 1t has been
suggested that Canadians may have
to curb their pleasure travel across
their southern border; that United
States imports should be strictly
curtailed. In a country whose tastes,
gadgets and plumbing are as thor
oughly Americanized as this ones,
this would be a serious blow to Ca
madam comfort and American pock-
etbooks. Canadians dislike the pat
tern and hope to avoid it. They
insist they will not drift, however.
Britain's plight and the prospect
Of her retreat within strict ster-
ling bloc are equally unattractive
Canadians want trade that hustles
both dollars and sterling through
their economy so they can maintain
their present profitable position rel
ative to the two countries.

it in proportion to its population
and resources. It is recalled that
Canada gave Britain billion ster-

following the United States loan
Canada made her a loan lesser In
amount but larger judged on a PEI

Should Britain get more funds
Canada's, situation would naturally
be eased. Early reports are warm
ing her that this. Is not -too-imme-
diate prospect. s,s -
Canada is wen pleased with her
postwar position aside from those
pesky dollars. During five years OF
war she industrialized to a degree
she could not have attained in Is
years of peace. The trend is con-
tinuing in peacetime. People are
working, factories are busy, wages
and capital investment are both up.
Everywhere but with America she
has tremendous favorable balance
of trade.
Coal Embargo Inconvenient.
Canadian United States relations
are smooth save fof minor pinpricks.
The sudden United States embargo
on coal shipments via Canadian Ma
tional is a genuine inconvenience
This was the work in Washington of
Transportation Director j. Monroe
Johnson, with the boxcar shortage
as an excuse. Canada admits she
has perhaps an undue share of our
coal hoppers; they say we have more
Of their freight cars than we rate.
They are trying to hold the thought
that Mr.. johnson is a peanut politi-
clan who won't be allowed to hurt
them much.
Another Canadian grievance arose
out of an incident involving an
American Atomic Energy scientist
who was officially discouraged from
transferring to Canadian univer-
sity. This seems to imply a certain
lack Of trust between friends.
President Truman's Ottawa visit
was a success. After so much atten-
ton from President Roosevelt, who
had a summer home here, Canada
was fearful that Missouri would not
be SO neighborly. Meeting President
Truman in person fixed that.
