Militarily Weak Western Powers

lief that Russia,S actions were either
blum or were prompted by suspicion
Of her wartime allies who had
ostracized her for 50 many years.
Recent events, beginning with the
conquest Of Hungary and ending
with that Of Czechoslovakia, have
convinced the western nations that
now not only their independence
but the entire western civilization
may be snuffed out by the Kremlin
leaders who run their nationals with
even more Of an iron hand than
Hitler ever did.
Under these circumstances they
are beginning to wonder whether it
would not be wise to employ our
former enemies as the first rampant
against the Asiatics who are threat
ening the west.
Example Set by Soviet.
The Soviet government itself set
the example by using in its armed
forces and In its military labora-
tories and factories not only Ger
mans from the zone allotted to
Russia at Yalta but also actually
good Nazis and members Of the SIS
forces. The denazification process
in the Soviet zone was not con-
Quoted on the basis Of who was a
Nazi or war criminal but who was
willing to cooperate with the q. s.
S. r. and the satellite countries.
In Macedonia, which is under
Tito's control, and in Albania there
are at least $4,000 former Nazi
prisoners Of war trained to form
the shock troops for the final show
down with the Greek national
armies. There Is q German army
of liberation ready to move into
the Reich whenever Moscow de-
cides that the time Is appropriate
within the Red Army's ranks.
In the western zones of Germany
there are some 100000 physically
weakened but still able-bodied men
who the British and French general
staff consider as good potential
soldiers and who under certain con-
ditions would agree to fight any
invaders from the east. For the
purpose of political propaganda,
Germany hitherto still has been de-
scribed as q menace" to the Allies.
London and Paris are aware that
this is no longer the case and that
they have little time to build up
their defenses. The German ele-
ment is now taken seriously into
consideration by those responsible
for the defense of the west. The
American, British and French gov.
ernments are aware that Moscow
is playing a cagey game to bring
the whole Reich into her fold
eventually. The answer to this
challenge is reported to be COM

toward their own occupation zones

preted as tantamount to treason
against peace"
But the chickens always come
home to roost.
This columnist went down to
Washington to testify against the
Italian peace treaty. That testimony
is on the record, I presume. said
the treaty would cost the west the
loss Of Italy, and stand by it.
While we tried to hold Greece we
laid Italy wide open 10 Tito and the
Russians. We gave the Italian
Communists the opportunity to win
back Trieste and Venezia Giulia for
italy. DO you think Stain would
not force Tito to cough up this loot
for q Communist Italy? What
would frontiers mattsr in an all
Communist Europe?
If Italy goes, Greece, Palestine
and the Middle East are lost.
Germans Offered Idea.
Similarly only Stain can re-
store to Germany all or part OF the
Prussian lands lost to Poland.
Does Stain have to worry about
Poland If he has a Communist
Germany?
And what do we and the rest OF
Europe offer Germany? Perpetual
military occupation? Incorporation
in a European confederation? On
what terms?
T believe know something about
the German mind. Germans can
live almost without food, almost
without shelter. But they cannot
live without an idea. A bad idea, to
the Germans, is better than no idea.
The Russians offer them an idea
"a place, in tangible scheme.
They also, and very Importantly,
offer them individual atonement.
Any Nazi can wipe out his past rec
ord by joining the Communist
Party.
The Russians are building a sys-
tem-a Fortress Europa" While
the west talks about a European
confederation, the Russians are
making one. The Russians long
have been prepared for what they
are doing. But all our moves are
last-minute reactions to the Rus
sian initiative. Back in 1943 VIM
ston Churchill proposed (as war
aim) council of Europe, a con-
federation. It was turned down In
our State Department. Why? -
Our Government has never told
us the why Of any measures 1t has
taken.

forever divided into two patterns OF
civilization; it will all be one or the
other.
Eastern Europe was lost at Te-
heran, Yalta and by agreements
regarding the disposition Of allied
armies. When General Patton was
forced to halt his troops an hours
march from Prague and to stand
helpless while some $500 Czechs
were slaughtered in a last battle
with the SIS, waiting for a Russian
tank corps to travel 300 miles from
Berlin, the certainty of last weeks
events was fixed.
Assigned to Russian Sphere.
Czechoslovakia, as DR.. Benes'
memoirs clearly show-and like Po-
land-was simply assigned to the
Russian sphere. That it becomes,
as a result, a totalitarian Commu-
mist state is logical. Belated ex-
pressions of outrage and sympathy
leave this columnist cold. The Czech
people do not want communism.
True. Neither did they, nor the
Poles, want to be disposed Of like
SO much rubbish. What have the
wishes of peoples got to do with
anything, today?
Until year ago, it was positively
dangerous for any writer in this
country to criticize whatever ar
rangements' had been made. Pres

Government, but from organized
claques in the public. To be pessi-
mistic, to utter any warnings, to

Roosevelt himself notoriously de-

Democratic strategists are count
ing on bad behavior by the Repub-

Henry the error of his ways. Their
story Is that the Republican Con-
gress is bound to make a record
that will annoy him; that their
convention, sure Of victory next fall,
may well go too far right for him
to swallow. They profess to believe
that If Italy falls to communism, a
dire but distinct possibility, Mr..
Wallace won't be able to take it.
Reds May Overplay Hand.
They also calculate that Mr.. WAL

may in their excitement everyday

could happen. They could push Mr..
Wallace too hard. They might do
something or come into the open in
such a way that his position would
be too embarrassing for him.
Democrats finally believe that
some OF the things Mr.. Wallace
complains about aren't going to
happen, like universal military
training.
The Republican attitude is, Of

sense of the mayhem Mr.. Wallace
infiicts on the Democrats. One
COP kingmaker says he hopes Mr..
Wallace will do well; not too well, OF
course. Another says it will not be

requests for assistance in the form

In the meantime, much thought
is being given in London and Paris
to the problem of Germany. These
two western powers which have suf-
fered the effects of German mill
tarism twice in "a years are wonder
ing whether 1t would not be to the
best interest of their own defense
to include Germany in some form
in the overall strategic plans.
Policy Change Seen Likely.
Hitherto the British, and particu-
larly the French and Benelux gov
ernments which have suffered
greatly from the Germans, were
adamant in their views to keep Ger
many down permanently. However,
this policy may change in the near
future.
German imperialism as represent
ed between 1914 and 1918 by Kaiser
Wilhelm and between 1896 and 1915
by Hitler is extinct. The German
people have paid through the nose
for the folly of their rulers. The
former Reich is today a more dev-
astated and impoverished country
than any Of its victims. It's military
potential is represented only by the
manpower-the $4,000, 900 people liv-
ing from hand to mouth In the four
zones under the Allied occupation.
On the ruins of the Hitlerite
totalitarianism another more fero-
cious totalitarian imperialistic pow
er was born-the U. S. S. r. Through
their actions from 1914 to date the
Moscow leaders have shown them
selves even more ruthless and more
power thirsty than Hitler and his
cohorts. For a long time the west
