Open Talks on Future
|0f Western Germany
BY the Assexioisd Press

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The United
States, Great Britain and France
begin a conference today on
Western Germany's future. It
is the first formal diplomatic
acknowledgment that the world
has divided into two parts.
For the first time, Russia Is alb
sent from official talks on the fu-
ture of the countries-Germany,
Italy and Japan-that gambled
their military powers on world con-
quest and lost. In her empty chair
is piled a batch of reasons:
l. Inability Of the Big -Four to
get together on peace treaty for
Germany at their Foreign Ministers
Council meeting which ended here
in December.
2. United States determination to
give Western Germany big part In
the Marshall Plan for European
economic recovery.
3. A plain-spoken Soviet accusa-
ton that the Marshall Plan is part
of an "imperilastic" American plan
to "enslave Europe"
4. Formation Of the Communist
International Information Bureau
(Cominform) Eastern European
spokesman for Communication
mated countries-to coordinate an
attack on Western democracies.
Douglas Represents U. s.
Lewis w. Douglas, Ambassador to
London, is representing the United
States in the three-power confer
ence. The Benelux countries-Bel-
GUM, the Netherlands and Luxem-
bourg - have been guaranteed a
hearing.
Russia protested the talks would
violate an agreement made at Pots
dams in 1945 for four-power de-
cision on Germany.
The United States and France
turned down the protest. In a
diplomatic note made public in
Washington Saturday, Undersecre-
tary of State Lovett said Soviet
failure to observe the principles of
economic unity" in Germany i'm
PEELED the other three powers to Or
ganize Germany's economy for Ger
man and European recovery. French
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault
gave a somewhat similar reply Fri
day.
On the conference depends, to a
major degree, the Marshall plan and
Britain's proposal for a five-power
pact and Western European union.
The United States wants to use
Germany's industrial potential
manpower and resources to help re-
build Europe
Her immediate objective has been
the merger of the French occupa-
ton zone with the British ano
: United States zones, already merged
for economic purposes. There cen.
ters the first problem.
French Want Guarantees.
The French plan to condition any
such fusion on stringent guarantees
of security against future German
warmaking. These conditions in.
clude Observation-Disclosures of tht
mineral-rich Ruhr and loosely
, knit liberalization of Germany.
On the first point, the Unitee
. States would prefer to see system
of free enterprise prevail. Britain

There is a difference between
this goal and the passive state
which tolerance implies; for when
one is against something, action
must surely follow his thoughts
and feelings.
The development of this positive
attitude cannot be left to chance
Rather, parents should use every
opportunity to build it knowing
there will be little help from the
restricted communities in which
many of them live or from the
segregated schools which many
children attend.
IMITATION of his parents
ways of thinking and acting plays
the most important part in de-
termining how the child will
think and act. If he has been con-
siderately dealt with by his par
ents and is secure in their love
and approval; if they really count
with him, he will not be apt to
reject them nor their ideas.

tom but to Billy's fear of the
unfamiliar.
At certain ages it is often that
children react with uneasiness,
sometimes with violence, toward
people whose looks they are not
accustomed to. When Billy's
mother understood this, she got
busy and arranged, through a
friend in an inter-racial housing
project, to meet some Negro fam
lilies with small children. Visits
were exchanged and good friend
ships made, among the adults as
well as the children. Positive ex-
periences like this lay a strong
foundation for attitudes of anti
Discrimination.
FOUR-year old Marion was
playing in front of her building

mother she felt the experience.
Also, she never forgot the fact
that her mother would become
angry and speak out against an
injustice or otherwise do some
thing about it.
Later, in school, Marion ''stood
up" for certain children who were
picked on. Once, during the war,
she had bought half dozen
scarce cokes, and as she was
leaving the store a Negro boy
came in to buy bottle of coke.

her family. This was the way they
did things. This was the way she
did too.
Besides setting an example,
parents should gradually fill in
the gaps, consciously left by the
education their children receive
in school. In order to be properly
oriented in world and its true
history, children should be taught
many facts which are not in the
textbooks. Most important among
these is why discrimination ex-

bearing the date of June 70, 1948, your editorial together with the comments from your Mayor rather takes issue with the right of the reople of this City to gather in lawful assem- bly, to discuss the why's and wherefores relative to legisla- tion that affects their substantial ] rights as citizens >.s.
 May I quote you a statement contained m "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" page lO7, the same being written by the late Mark Twain The title to this statement is ION LOYALTY.
 "You see, my kind of loyalty was loyalty to ones country, not to it's ins 'ltutions or its office holders This country IS the real thing. the substantial thing the eternal thing; it is the thing to wstch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extran eous. they are it's mere clothing and clothing, can wear out, be come ragged, cease to be com. fortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease. death To be loyal to rags, to shout for rags, to worship rags-that is loyalty to unreason; it is pure Sanimal; 1t belongs to monarchy, was invented by monarchy; let monarchy keep it. 1 was from , Connecticut, whose Constitution declares: That all political pow CT Is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their. authority and instituted for their benefit; and that they have at all times an undeniable and 'nde easible right to alter Ctheir form of government in such manner as they may think ex- pedlent "
 Under that gospel. the citi- zen who thinks he sees that the commonwealLh's political clothes are worn out, and yet holds hts 1 peace and does not agi ate for a new sult, IS d,sloyal; he is a trai tor. That he may he the only one who thinks he sees this de- cay, does not excuse him; 1t is his duty to agitate anyway, and 1t IS Che duty of others te vote him down if they do not see the matter as he does"
 It IS unfo. tunate that our Ci y today have officials in office who object to a public gathering whose sole purpose is to see that any proposed legislation that sn alters of injustice IS given a public airing. Even in the days of Mark Twaln they had people
 in office who felt that any at
