The campaigning generals
and admirals were not citizen
soldiers. The generals were
educated at West Point. the
admiral at Annapolis; all four
have enjoyed high positions Of
unusual trust.
Gen. Wedemeyer and Admiral
Denfeld are in q somewhat cif-
ferent position from that Of
their colleagues contending for
the highest place. Both are re-
tired, drawing only the pensions
they richly earned. Thus they
can claim full civilian status.
Nevertheless they, too, have
been in the thick Of the violent
arguments which have involved
the country's military leader
ship, including unification and
Asian policy. Their colleagues
grant them technical clearance
but would be happier If they
stood aloof.
The two five-star generals, by
act of Congress. cannot retire.
They are drawing full pay and
allowance for the rest of their
lives plus three service aides and
office space paid by the taxpayer.
Gen. Eisenhower in addition has
his NATO command.
Admittedly all this was a free
will offering to the top COM
manders of World War II. It
was done by statute which the
two generals have no power to
repeal even if they wished.

The specter Of q militarily

Germany is hovering once more
over Europe. The Kremlin pro-
posed on March 10 to its erst-
while allies q new plan for
peace with its former enemy.
The plan is simple enough. It
provides for an election in East
3ern and Western Germany and
that the thus reunited Reich.
under. q central government be-
come neutral and have its own
armed forces, provided with
necessary equipment from its
own industrial establishments.
The Importance of the Soviet
note was largely unnoticed by
the American people. whose at
tention is now centered on inn
portant political Developments
at home and the many sensa-
tional scandals in the Govern
ment. The Soviet proposal was
duly noted in Western Europe
but apparently it has done little
to change the adamant resist
ance Of France and the Benelux
countries to the early inclusion
Of Western Germany as . full
and equal partner In the NATO.
That the creation Of q uni
ned neutral" Reich at the sug-
gestion Of the Kremlin will solve
whatever difficulties the U. s.
S. r. may be faced with in the
domination Of Europe has not
escaped the European political
men.
French Foreign Minister
Robert Schuman, commenting
last Monday on the neutrality
aspect Of the Soviet note, stated.
I'm my opinion we must never
leave Germany to herself" The
meaning Of the French foreign
minister, who was born in AL
SAGE while that French province
was still German territory and
was q German soldier during
World War I, is all too clear.
The. German people are in
tensely nationalistic and will
side with anybody who will help

President Truman the other
day said he didn't like the
Franco regime in Spain. and
the remark caused q furor. The
White House quickly ex-
planned that the President was
referring to the lack Of re-
ligious tolerance in Spain.
Then came a vigorous attack
by Cardinal Segura of Spain
on Protestant missions in that
country.
Now comes a rejoinder from
q high Catholic source in this
country which is sensational
not only in its expression Of
opposition to what Cardinal
Segura said but in its exposi-
ton. for the benefit Of the
Spanish clergy, Of what should
be the tolerance Of Catholics
toward ProteStantS and vice
versa.
The editorial, appearing nrSt
o few days ago in the Indiana
Catholic and Record" which is
the official organ Of Archbishop
Paul Schultz Of indianapolis.
has struck q responsive chord
among other Catholic journals
In other dioceses. Entitled "The
Cardinal Is Calling the Cops
Four Centuries Late" it reads as
follows:
IF the surprising remarks Of
the Spanish Cardinal Segura
have been reported accurately,
they are sure to strain the char
liable efforts of Americans
Catholic as well as Protestant
to understand the Spanish mem
tality. The cardinal Is report
ed to have complained in a pas
toral letter that Protestant
proSelytism, having broken the
dikeS Of tolerance, Is not hesi-
tating to advance on the open
field toward religious freedom
in our country
Catholic writer's who have
been painfully explaining that
religious freedom, of q Spanish
sort. exists in Spain will Ger
tainly be embarrassed by the
cardinals blunt admission that
religious freedom is an evil to
be avoided at all costs. Some
Catholic comment will doubt
less fall into the rather tired
and unimpressive line that
Catholics are prosecuted in
