This Changing World
Reports That Reds Use Ex.Nazi U.Boats
Held Sign of Full.Scale War on Greece

posed of Yugoslavs, Albanians and
volunteers of the international
Brigade-an air force Of several
hundred bomber and fighter planes
also has been massed in the area
between Skoplje and the northern
Greek boundaries.
German war prisoners, number
ing between 10000 and $4,000. have
formed special units, including
parachutist battalions. These men.
who were starving in prisoner of
war camps, were given the choice
OF voluntarily" joining the Inter-
national Brigades to fight "im-
perialism." or of continuing to starve
with no hope of returning to their
homeland.
Won Paulus Does Recruiting.
Special agents OF the German
Army of Liberation, organized and
nominally commanded by Field
Marshal Friedrich Won Paulus, have
visited the war prisoner camps and
urged the men to join these fighting
units. They were told that they
would retain their German nation
ality, and after the "imperialists" in
Greece were liquidated they would
be incorporated in the German
Army Of Liberation and would be
allowed to return home to fight for
the rejuvenation and liberation Of
Germany.
It stands to reason that, having
been given the choice between con-
tinued miserable existence in the
Yugoslav war camps and accept
ance of membership in the Moscow
created international Brigade
carrying with 1t food, clothing and
other advantages-they chose the
latter.
The men were carefully selected,
the preference being given to
fanatical NaZis, and organized into
groups which were first fed and
later put through intensive training
under the orders of some of their
former officers supervised by Rus
sian specialists.
Paratroopers Conditioned.
The German war veterans in
cluded many former paratroopers.
These receive special treatment.
They are being fed especially nour-
ishing meals in order to get them
back into the top physical condi-
ton required Of paratroopers. Some
of the best Nazi aviators who were
in the Yugoslav camps also have
been taken over by the air force.
While no one knows when Mos
COW will give them the green light
for major operations against the
Athens government, the intensive
preparations now taking place show
that nothing is being left to chance
and that the forces gathered in the
north soon will be ready for large
scale action.

War Crimes Trials Termed Farcical

for exactly and specifically these
crimes.
U. N. Has Never Defined Crime.
Now three years have elapsed
and the United Nations never has
defined aggressive war or prepara-
ton for it, or war conventions or
abuses, or created a single law
against any kind of war, or a work
able supreme court, or any enforce
ment agencies. On the day the new
trials opened, Thomas K. Finletter
chairman Of the Presidents All
Policy Committee, noted this, and
that the U. N. Charter has all the
necessary machinery to create a
world law and enforcement agencies
But it also has the veto.
Meanwhile, German scientists are

United States to develop more hide

purpose is ito wage a decisive wal

Germany, the forced retention o

the passage Of our embargo repeal
through Congress, the President
turned to me and asked: "Cordell,
what do you think about the situa-
tion?"
My agitation was probably not
concealed as replied to the Presi-
dent, It scarcely know what to think
about anything in the light of the
complacent way Senator Borah has
brushed aside the whole mass of
facts we have at the State Depart
ment, which completely disprove his
theory that there will be no war.
At midnight, as the meeting ended
on this tone, the White House is
sued two communiques. One stated
the consensus of the Senators pres
ent, Democrat and Republican, that
no action on neutrality legislation
could be obtained at this session OF
Congress but that 1t would be con-
sidered at the next session. The
other stated: "The President and
the Secretary of State maintained
the definite position that failure by
the Senate to take action now would
weaken the leadership Of the United
States in exercising its potent in
fluence in the cause of preserving
peace among other nations in the
event of new crisis in Europe be-
tween now and next January"
Had to Exert Influence.
Only five weeks later we had to
exert that influence in a final effort
to prevent a European War. Our
influence, so far as Hitler was con-
cerned, was undoubtedly weakened
by his realization that Congress had
refused to follow the lead Of the
administration, and by his belief
that Britain and France could not
obtain arms, ammunition, or ar-
planes in the United States.
Immediately after the meeting,
Senator Borah, followed by Senator
McNary, disclaimed to me the least
idea of rejecting on me or on my
official position in any way. But
it was not possible to apologize for
rejecting on the State Department
which I headed. I received three
disclaimers coldly. I give Boraf
credit for the best of intentions, but
I am forced to conclude that hi
was so terribly wrought up as no
to thing clearly.
I had frequently invited Boral
to come to the State Department
which could show him dispatche
from our diplomatic missions u
Europe and Asia and talk. over th'
general foreign situation with him
but he never did me this courtesy
What could have shown him If h
had come to the Department during
the discussions on neutrality? Among
dozens of other references, there
were these:
Our charge In Berlin, Alexander
Kirk, cabled me on May 13 that the
diplomatic representatives OF many

against Poland, were very pessi-
mistic about the chances of avoiding

tions amicably even when he was
refusing to agree with them.
But he baked at their attempts
to persuade him that he owed 1t to
the party to send to the floor a
compromise bill which would repre-
sent the thinking of the Republican
ma jority on European aid and avert
a party split. His abrupt and posi-
tive reaction brought forth similarly
sharp retorts and heated personal
tiles filled the air.
Won't Sponsor G. o. p. Bill.
Senator Vandenberg declared that
he would have nothing to do with
a. Republican bill He said that his
committee would report an amended
bill satisfactory alike to its Demo-
cratic and Republican members. He
said it would be offered to the Con-
gress and country as a bipartisan
approach to foreign affairs as 1t
ought to be.
One participant phrased it: "He
was sweet as honey: then he got
madder than hell"
The Senate modiflers were not
too surprised. When they first told
their foreign relations leader they
intended to confer, he held out the
olive branch. But as reports OF
their objections to the plan gained
currency, Senator Vandenberg
cooled. Last week he ribbed several:
IF the President would just quit
talking and you fellows would quit
holding rump sessions, maybe we'd
get somewhere"
Agreed on Administration.
Senators Ball, Wherry, Brooks
and Knowland carried the "rump'
suggestions to Senator Vandenberg.
They speedily found not too great
difference of opinion on administra-
ton. Senator Vandenberg indicat-
ing that he expected to follow the
Brookings Institution idea OF a
separate administrator with a
advisory board from the Govern
ment and industry. He demurred at
reducing the broad program of re-
construction to the project level by
law but insisted the administrator
must have broad and flexible
powers.
There was swift agreement lover
setting up watchdog committee
of Congress to police the program
and receive progress reports.
Senator Vandenberg refused
; however, to consider separating
relief from reconstruction. Nor
would he consent to including vari-
: Gus restrictions on how recipient
countries should spend United
States funds. He insisted that this
country could not tell other coun-
tries what to do.
