mel coast. then swing south to the
Pyrenees. There were no measures
prepared to scorch the industrial
booty which the Russians would
have sought. Europe's helpless
ness was a nightmare Of Allied
planners.
In many tangible and intangi-
BILE ways, Western defenses this
year are already sitter. The ira
ditional lure for Russian expan-
sion-an easy pushover-is grad
ually fading.
Western students of Soviet
policy are sharply divided gen.
orally into two groups. One holds
that Kremlin strategists will know
ingly provoke another world war
by striking across Europe while
the Western defense program is
yet in swaddling clothes. 1t at
tributes to Stain 81 Co. the con-
viction that they must seek a
showdown now or never. The
second group bases some of its
Judgment on past performances
of Russian leaders, not only in
the era of the Bolsheviks but of
tie czars. Members of this group
are akin to horse-race fans betting
on old form charts.
Harking back to the Napoleonic
wars, they cite repeated instances
when Russian armies were well
coined by their allies into the
heart of Europe-even as far as
Paris. But when the Allies turned
suspicious and got up common
front against Muscovite ambition,
the Russians fell back rather than
risk all-out war on foreign soil
Afterward, failing to dominate
Europe, the czars went hunting
territorial spoils in Asia, and
found them.
Asserting that striking parallels
exist between the past and today
the second group claims Moscow
is chiefly nourishing its ambitions
now through the revolutionary
movements of Asiatic peoples and
may try to extend its influence
there by having others do its
fighting. while clinging defensively
to its ramparts on the Elbe.
Leaving history aside. this group
also argues that the Russian peo-
pie are weary of war, that their
economy is still crippled by Hit
ler's ravages. and that their Eu-
ropean satellites are seriously
distrusted.
Although disagreeing about the
Soviet Unions impending course
Of action, the two Western groups
are unanimous on one point:

May Recall
Liberty Ships
By A. A. HoehIinq

The creaking. squat old marine
freight car Of World War II, the
Liberty ship, is in demand again.
Faced with sudden shortage of
cargo vessels. shippers the world
over are bidding as high as $780,
600 (more than half the original
cost for the slow. stub-nosed work
horses Of the seven seas.
War shipments in the Pacific,
defense and relief shipments to
Europe have put space on priority
once more. And there aren't
enough available Liberties to meet
the demand-even though imme-
following the war they
were thought to have outlived
their usefulness.
According to the Maritime Ad-
ministration there are approx
mately 1,400 of these old faithfuls
in the reserve fleet, or slightly
more than half the number con-
structed during the war. American
lines are operating 230, while 589
are under foreign flags.
Now the reserve fleet takes on
new meaning, and the Govern
ment is reluctant to demothball
the Liberties except for our own
important uses. When tugs hauled
these 7,200-tonners into remote
inlet and river anchorages the
general feeling was good rid
dance" They had served their
purpose, it seemed, and their old
bones deserved eternal rest.
Rushed but Rugged !;
Only one and two ship tramp
line operators looked with any in
terest on these freighters which
then were strictly bargain-base
ment stuff. 1t seemed that their
capacity was almost too great for
peacetime needs, their speed
with safety valves tied down and
the crew doing everything short
of puShing-no more than 13 knots
at most, and the living quarters
were cramped and hot. Besides.
they were designed for a useful
life only as long as the estimated
war duration-five or six years.
But, they've lasted, and most of
them are still just as fit for this
time Of crisis as they were the
last. They were built in a hurry
to get the Nation and it's Allies
out of a tough spot. Nazi subma-
rines had been sinking shipping
almost faster than it could be
replaced. -s.
Somehow we, and other nations
too, are finding out that We just
cannot get along without the
Liberty ship. 1t seems unlikely
that many will come to the ulti-
mate end once predicted-rusting
away unused in some half-for-
gotten anchorage.

BUENOS AIRES. - Alberto
Gainza Paz was trained to believe
that good newspaper editor
keeps himself In the background.
But from the day he took over
active control Of the rich, inde-
pendent newspaper La Prensa he
was thrust unwillingly into the
spotlight Of unpleasant publicity.
Gainza Paz became editor and
publisher of the great Buenos
Aires newspaper in 1943. For more
than seven years against the
toughest odds he maintained
courageously and unswervingly his
newspapers long tradition of free
dom and independence.
Pressure from the administra-
ton of President Juan D. Peron
never relented. Finally through
the strategem of a labor dispute
the newspaper was closed down in
January for refusing to ease up
on biting criticism.
Tall, distinguished and always
calm appearing. and almost aus
tere in his reserve, Gainza Paz
kept an unruffled silence when he
was being attacked daily by pro-
Peron congressman, newspapers
and labor leaders.
He broke his silence March 81,
when he sent statement to
Congress stating, "Press freedom,
besides being an individual right,
also is the right of the people-to
read the newspaper of their choice.
In exercising this right, the people
always have shown a preference
for newspapers that are inde-
pendent and truthful and edited
at high cultural level"
Ads Brought Wealth
The Government cracked down
Immediately. 1t ordered Gainza
Paz' Arrest to serve a 15-day
sentence for contempt of Congress.
However, Gainza Paz could not
be located. The following day the
congressional committee in charge
|of investigating the affairs of La
Prensa appealed to the police to
redouble their efforts and branded
the editor a fugitive from justice.
Gainza Paz had covered his tracks
well; even his closest associates
and his family claimed to have
no knowledge Of his whereabouts.
Prior to the contempt of Con-
tgress charge, the Argentine editor
was also charged with violation
of state security, but was not
taken into custody. Until March
III. when Gainza Paz and other
high officials of his paper were
barred from the newspapers Of
fees, had kept his usual Office
hours in the publications main

quarrel but an operable modus ,
Under it's terms, occupying mill
tary forces retire from the terri
tory of the defeated nation; SOW
ereignty is fully restored. The
victor is free to enjoy the fruits
of victory; the defeated is free to
repair, as much as he is able, the
damage and losses sustained. In
theory, victor and vanquished re-
sumo their prewar identities as
free nations.
This is noS always possible. If,
as in the case of post-VersailleS
Germany, exorbitant demands are
made which defeat the capacity
of the loser to pay, no freedom
exists and the war of violence is
simply transformed into an eco
nomic war which either cruSheS
the loser nation completely or
inspires the population TO revenge.
The treaty of Versailles, far more
than the German people, was
responsible for Hitler.
A similar situation now exists
in respect to Japan. While there
are great differences in motiva-
ton in some levels-there is far
less hatred for the japanese, for
example, than was exhibited
toward the Germans in 491S-the
end is almost the same. Germany
was stripped Of Alsace-Lorraine
(Which she had lost once before.
to Louis XIV, her colonies in the
Pacific and Africa and forced to
acknowledge extraordinary guilt
where no extraordinary guilt
existed. The German Army was
disbanded in spite of the threat
of communism, the German Navy
was surrendered, the air force not
only destroyed but Germans were
forbidden to construct other mill
tary aircraft.
Weakling Among Bullies
Added to this, a reparations
penalty was imposed which would
have, even under prewar indus
trial conditions, been extremely
difficult of payment. With a
starved and deciminated people
as we'll as a shattered industrial
structure. the Germany of the
Weimar Republic and Hindenburg
was completely unable to pay and
survive. Whipped. Inundated and
browbeaten. Germans chose Hitler
from hope, not logic. There had
been over a decade of fruitless
logic.
Like Germany. Japan is a ma
ton of intelligent, energetic peo-
pie; far more so than any other
country in Asia. Like Germany,
the japanese face a peace in an
area where their political role has
been reversed. Like the Germans,
they have lost territory, been
stripped of arms and armament.

confiscated; all major industries
either destroyed or dismantled.
So far as possible. Japan is back
where she was in 1854 when Com
modore Perry, for the second
time. elbowed his way into Tokyo
Bay and demanded an audience
with the Shoguns. The OILY diff
ference is that Japan. in 1854, was

A Senate Rules subcommittee
