agriculture. The farms in the
province of Hesse, for example,
are small by our standards-the
average being around 20 acres.
The land is farmed intensively.
heavily fertilized and every
available bit of ground is used
for cultivation. Flowing, cultivat-
ing and harvesting are done by
most primitive methods-ancient
plows pulled by oxen, hoeing the
weeds by hand, cutting the grain
by hand scythe. Yet the produc-
ton per acre is about l-3 higher
than in the States.
The present agricultural situa-
ton is complicated by the loss
of many, able farm hands during
the war Gas one American mill
tary government official put it,
Most of the best of their young
men are now buried somewhere
out near Stalingrad.') and the
heavy increase of population.
The latter has been caused by
the flight of refugees from the
Russia nzone into the American
zone. The size of the problem is
evident when it is considered
that the maximum production
in %Hesse will support two mil
lion people, while the present
population is over four million
and growing at the rate of 500
or more per day.
What makes it worse is that
lack of adequate farm labor, plus
this summers drought have COM
bined to reduce farm produc-
ton to about so per cent of nor
NAL.
Generally speaking, however,
Germans do not look i'll fed, al
though you see no fat people
over here and they are shabbily
clothed. OTIS not unusual, for ex-
ample, to see a German office
girl on the Kurfurstendamm,
what remains of Berlin's Fifth
Avenue, wearing street dress
made over from an evening
gown. And there is evident fear
and dependency in their bear
ing. Yet American civilians who
were here just after the war
and have since returned are
quick to point out that in spite
of present difficulties, the Ger
man people are much better off
than they were two years ago.
From my own observation, l
think they are much better off
than the Italians, the Firms and
the Poles, but below the stand
ward of most of Western Eu-
rope.
The depths to which they have
sunk, after all the false grandeur
of the Nazi regime, may be sug-
gested by one experience.

fetal photographer, and were
coming out of the ruins of the
once magnificent Reich Chan
celery in Berlin. One of Hitler's
greatest monuments, it was
handsome building, richly orna-
mented on the inside with rose
marble-now being removed
from the debris by the Rus
slams. A small crowd of boys had
trailed us all the way through,
trying to sell photographs, post
cards, picture albums, ETC., for
cigarettes. AS we stepped out to
the car, two boys, perhaps III
or IL years old, came up and
held out German medals.
"They are absolutely authen-
tic" declared the German
photographer, mo question about
it,"
For the Ritterkreuz-a Ger
man iron cross ornamented with
silver and once one of Germany's
most cherished decorations, the
boy wanted 20 cigarettes.
The photographer signed, his
eyes far, far away. Sic transit
gloria mundi," he exclaimed, "as

issue reprimand, and if the
! practice continues the newspa-
( per owner may be forced out OF
business. But the practice con-
tinues in a small degree despite
, the efforts of the Americans to
I, show that false publication and
embarrassment of German pub
lie officials serves only to injure
! the German people themselves
and to retard their program of
reconstruction.
American businessmen, a great
many of whom are visiting Ger
many, from time to time ex-
press surprise at the amazing
vitality of German industry"
Most of them expressed the view
that the German economic. and
industrial situation will inn
prove rapidly once raw ma
terials, food for the workers and
reduction of current trade re-
strictions can be obtained.
AS it is now, in order to get
raw materials, parts, etc., the
average German industry design
ed to produce one specific prod
uct, finds Unnecessary to engage
in several other kinds of manu-
featuring as well-to provide
barter materials and products, in
order to obtain the necessary
parts and materials for it's prin-
cipal operation. ~
For example, a manufacturer
of electric motors may find that
before he can get wire, it may
be necessary for him to supply
shoe leather or potatoes to his
source of supply. So he starts
"Sideline" businesses to provide
the barter materials required.
Yet industrial efficiency as we
know it, and as the Germans UNI
derstand it are two different
things-despite the. fact that
German industry was and poten-
TALLY is the most efficient in Eu-
rope. The average American
worker worker has had better
education, and although his job
may, require one specialized OPP
Grafton, most of our mechanics
are able to handle several kinds
of industrial jobs. About three
per cent of the German young
people went beyond the 10th
grade in school, during the Nazi
regime. The other9 z per cent
for the most part were appren-
ticed not merely to one trade,
but to one branch of that trade.
So while an electric appliance
service man in the States can
handle almost anything from a
refrigerator to a radio or a
vacuum cleaner. the German
service man is a specialist. He
may be an electrician, thermo-
dynamic expert or refrigeration
specialist-but he is not all
three.
At the same time, the Ger
man has immense capacity for
careful, painstaking work and is
competent craftsman. An ex-
ample Of this can be found in the
restoration of printing plants in
Germany.
With the removal of machine
tools and shortages of raw ma
terials, the only way the Ger
mans could rebuild their print
ing plants was to rebuild ma
chimes wrecked and even burn
ed in Allied air raids. This has
meant digging machines out of
the rubble, cleaning every part,
and even making new parts by
hand, for no machine tools are
available. / have seen machines
as intricate as the linotype, the
monotype and automatic presses,
built up and restored from what
we would consider useless scrap
machines in the States. That
kind of work requires infinite
patience and genuine craftsman's
skill. The Germans have it.
A similar condition exists in

ed as a preventive against in
lection in the American, British
and French zones-for all were
affected in some degree, and it is
possible that a low caloric diet
makes Germans susceptible to
infection anyway. But the fact
remains that the epidemic broke
out in the Russian zone, which
has by far the largest number of
cases, and which was not SPRAYED
with DOT.
General Clay, in an effort to
bring order out of the present
German chaos, and to rebuild the
American zone on a sound and
democratic basis, has obtained
the services of outstanding Amer
lean businessmen who today are
surveying the German economy
on a business basis, with the aim
OF developing program. And
there is deep sincerity among all
top Bracket military government
officials, both civilian and mill
tary, to build a new and demo-
cratic Germany, one which is
sound economically and not a
threat aaginst the peace of Eu-
rope.
One reason for fear of Russia
and preference for democracy, is
the influence of prisoners of war
recently repatriated from Russia.
According to one American Of
ficer in military government in
Hesse, the Russians have so far
released no able bodied men.
Those who do come back" he
said, "the weak, crippled or en-
aciated and unable to work, when
they. return to their home prov
ince, on our zone, they are i'm
mediately hospitalized in an eff
fort to restore their health. And
it's not uncommon to hear a story
like this:
lone German was taken pris-
oner at Stalingrad. Later, with
about 100000 others, he was put
into a labor camp in Russia. He
is one of 5000 of that group who
survived"
German sabotage of occupation
efforts takes several forms. Aside
from frequent thefts of anything
left unguarded, there are minor
indications of resentment such as
the deliberate slashing of an au-
tomobile tire on the car of an
American military government
official. Together with his fam
lily, on a trip to an official con-
ference, he had stopped at a way
side inn for lunch. On returning
to the car, they found round
hole about an inch in diameter
cut into a new tire, all the way
through the tube.
In an effort to bring about
freedom of the press las we know
it, the American military gov
eminent in Hesse has assisted
competent Germans to develop
new newspapers. They have
been helped in obtaining machin-
cry and plant space for this pur-
pose, assisted in design and make
up, with the one limitation that
no newspaper be party organ.
To this end the American author
tiles have even prepared "style
books" outlining the need for
complete, accurate reporting of
all the news, the editorials sign
ed by the writer to indicate that
the idea expressed is one mans
opinion. But frequently rumors
and innuendoes, designed to en-
barrass the new German govern
ment, creep into print-tales. for
example, that the police have
steeling rabbits for food. When
such stories are caught in fire.
