German Editors See Rising Tide
OF Nationalism In Their Country

VI lNauOnal1Sm In lnelf NOuntry
Conditions In Germany are described by fifteen
German newspapermen who visiting the United
States for six weeks as guests of the Rockefeller
Foundation.
Generally the German publishers agree that the
western point of view is not being presented well
as it might be because the 'Voice of America" is
sdered official propaganda and generally discounted
The criticism is not so severe it seems because
the German newsmen admit that while they free
to write they please, their newspaper stories
considered propaganda because of the 12-year Nazi
control. One editor says that the airlift is having
good effect 1t is encouraging the German people to
believe that France Britain and the United States
do not intend to leave Germany.
This editor points out that the West Is not united
and that 1t has weak points which the Russians
quick to take advantage of.
According to the woman editor among the group,
the chief interest Of the German people, is the daily
problem Of living. Women outnunber men by forty
percent Moreover, electric current is only four
hours day in Berlin, which is short of coal and fuel
and many factories are closed
The editors call attention to rising tide of ma
tionalism In Germany, which they admit, is hamper
ed by the Four-Power Control Of their country New
ertheless the editors maintain, the German people
hope TO win their liberty again in the future without
war.

REINFORCEMENTS

though there has been no official
report of their colloquies, For
eign Ministers Bevin and Schu-
man have asked the former Chef
of Staff at their Paris Pow rs
what military reinforcemuats
this country can contribute in the
event that the latest crisis with
Russia leads to shooting
war"
High officials in both European
nations have said publicly and
privately that American aid in
the form OF Marshall Plan dol
lars is no longer sufficient to
enable them to stage s show
down with Moscow might. They
have asked the possibility of mi
lltary reinforcements far beyond
the 100000 men, fifty warships
and 100 B-29's that we now have
on the continent or in adjacent
waters.
Thus, as was inevitable after
Washington announced its pur-
pose to combat Communism u tn
financial assistance and to build
an anti-Moscow bloc of powers
to the east of Berlin, we now
face the demand for another Am

TUCKER
BY Raw Tucher

WASHINGTON, Oct l-Sec-
rotary Marshall now knows how
F. D. Roosevelt felt when the
Fall of Paris and the Dunkirk
disaster in 1910 led frantic Euro
pean statesmen, headed by Wins
ton Churchill, to ask the
American President whether he
could back up his verbal pledges
of good will and support with an
armed force. In each instance
the answer was No"
Despite his allegedly illegal
shipment of rifles, munitions, ar
tillery and anti aircraft guns to
bereft Britain, Mr., Roosevelt
could not promise that the U. S.
would become a belligerent.
The first reason was that such
action would require Congress
sional sanction. The second was
that this country was then wholly
unprepared for a conflict.
