DASHED HOPES

They haul and maui the poor escapee back and forth between all three, fly him to Washington to talk to the high brass in the Pentagon; then, because of the McCarran Act and because he was once Communist, they fly him back to Germany. They interview him for hours on end, the inter- views being conducted by amat- eurish youngsters, week after week. And after a couple of months of this, they drop him like squeezed orange-all the juice gone.
 He is then left to get job on the Germany economy where there are about a million Germans all ready out of work ;or he can go to seed in a refugee camp. Naturally, many of these escapees wish they were back in Russia.
 Obviously, escapees have to be screened to detect possible Com munist plants. Obviously also, some have fled because they are com- mon criminals. However, there re- mains a large proportion which could be extremely useful to the allied cause in the following man. ner:
 l.-Giving information as to what is happening behind the Iron Cur tain. This could be of immense value to the U. s. military, to the Voice of America and dealing with our entire propaganda program.
 2.-Recruits for the U. s. Army. While the U. s. Army is now able to accept only 2,50O recruits of foreign nationality, thelS is no reason why this cannot be enlarged. Our army has been enlarged and the proportion of foreign recruits could be also. Most escapees volunteer to enlist in the U. s. Army, and if properly screened there is no reason why they could not serve as well as American youngsters now being drained from our economy.

This plays right into Russias hand. For big land armies are her strongest forte. Never can we out fight her limitless resources of manpower if we depend on land armies alone. This is picking the battle ground where the enemy is at his best
 Meanwhile modern v1a.fare has gone forward, not only to atomic power but to psychological warfare and the science of winning peoples to a more friendly point of view. This is where the steady stream of those seeking refuge in the free world comes in. That is why the prison cells and concentration camps into which they are thrown now constitute our most tragic blunder.

A Revived PrusSianism?

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
 Former German army officers are trying to give currency to dangerously smooth misconceptions Eber- hard Boehm former German General Staff colonol who was brought to this country under the auspices of the Moral Rearmament' movement, characterized himself at Washington meeting as "a soldier who was punished for being soldier by the same people who now ask me to get back into uniform"
 The fact is that neither Boehm nor any other German officer was punished by the United States for being a soldier. They were punished Tor com mitting crimes against humanity under the cloak of military obedience and duty
 Some more German officers indicate by reason- ing of this kind that they still have no conception of what the last world nor reeducation was all about. the more there will be for adopting as many of the Frenchsponscred safeguards agahst re- nascent German mlitarism are possible ln building west Euorpean army Some Prussians, fat least, are still Prssians and the people of the world should be grateful to Frenchmen for remembering it.

FREEDOM JAILS"

Their case is typical, however, of what is going on all the time along the Iron Curtain. It is estimated that 1,200 escapees who never get publicity take the plunge across the Iron Curtain every month from Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other captive countries.
 Whereupon they are clapped in German and Austrian jails, become the associates of prostitutes and common criminals, and finally be- gin to think that, if this is the free world, they were better off under the Communists.
 AS matter of fact, many of them do go back. It would shock most Americans to know that 2,000 Russian escapees who obtained work. in the coal mines of Belgium re- gently voted to go back to Russia. The supposed free world, they vot- ed, did not offer the great free dom they had supposed.
 Blame for this tragic situation can be laid directly on the doorstep of the U. s. Army, Central Intelli- gence, and the State Department. All three have divided responsibil- ities for these escapes, but all eith- CT work at cfoss-purposes or no not work at all.
 The United States government has the authority to handle all those escaping from behind the Iron Curtain, but most of the time it ducks the responsibility.
 Here is what happens. When an especially inter ting escapee comes in from Russia as did the former counselor to the Russian Embassy in Iran last winter, U. s. agencies immediately bounce on him. Counter Intelligence wants him. So does Central Intelligence. So also does Military Intelligence.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-10-15
WARS DON'T WIN

3.-Finally, escapees could be or- ganized into groups eventually to take over Iron Curtain countries If and when the time is ripe. This is what the Kaiser did in 1917 when he sent Trotsky and Lenin on a sealed train from Switzerland into Russia and there is no reason why the pattern of political change set in 1917 cannot be reversed.
 As matter of fact, Russian has never been conquered by force of arms. Napoleon tried it and start ed the beginning of his downfall Hitler tried it and his defeat at Stalingrad marked the turning point of World War IT. The Kaiser tried it and in the end had to resort to political upheaval.
 However, West Point does not teach revolution" It teaches the conventional forms of making war big land armies and artillery. Only belatedly did West Point even get round to teaching aerial war
