Millions Are Not Fond Of U S. or American Soldiers
And Are Irked at Our Stern Attitude Toward Reds

mistake. They still resent the at
tiGude of those civilians camou-
f1aged in American military
uniforms. particularly those who
have been German citizens un-
til a few years before the war.
They still cannot conceive that
the Western leaders. particular
ly the American and British
professional officers, would ac-
cept without a murmur the SEN
fencing to death or to long
terms in the Spandau dungeon
of German officers whose guilt
was that they obeyed orders
from the commander-in-chief.
When reminded that their SIS
officers, who were also profess
sional soldiers, behaved like
brutes wherever they went and
an example had to be made the
answer is:
THE SIS men were not pro-
fessionals. they had rank. but
no military tradition. But the
generals and admirals who are
now rotting in jails and are
treated in some of them worse
than the worst criminals are
guilty only of having obeyed
Instructions"
Arguments are of no avail
in such cases. But there Is in
this country an underlying cur
rent of bitterness which only
years-or possible dramatic
eventS-can alone cure.
In spite Of this. the unani-
nous feeling of our military
men is that once the German
federal government is given q
green light to start organizing a
force. it will fight as Loyalty as
any Of the allies on our side.
When it comes to practical mat
ters the Germans have a gift Of
forgetting past grievances and
looking only to the present and
the future.
The Germans will be blunt If
the past is mentioned and par
ticularly the recent past be-
tween 1888 and 1889 when they
thought they had a winner"
in Hitler. But they want to put
this aside as a bad dream and
look only to the future. And
they are fully confident that
with their initiative and energy
the future is theirs.
Russia does not worry the
Germans particularly. If they
were not restrained by the poll
cies of the allies, they feel con-
fident that they could deal in
their own way with Stain and
put an end to his saber rafting
much quicker than America Is
doing with her policies Of con-
tainment.

make this anything less than
dangerous demagoguery, a dis
honest appeal to all young men
subject to the draft and their
distressed families. The infer
ence was obvious and inten-
tional; that the Korean war is
Mr.. Truman's war-despite the
almost unanimous approval
given his initial action by the
Republicans in Congress-and
that the President almost glories
in the resulting casualties.
But the three Senators are
not alone in their efforts to
create false impressions in con-
nection with Korea. In one
way or another Gen. Eisen-
hover. John Foster Dulles, Sen
ator Taft and Gov. Dewey have
endeavored in the past few days
to suggest that it is possible to
withdraw American troops from
Korea and turn the front line
fighting over to the South Ko-
reanS This, Of course. is the
last thing Eisenhower, as a
military man, would do; nor
would any Of the others if they
had to take the responsibility.
And. having thrown out the
suggestion, they all qualify it.
Reading the fine print you find
they merely want you to think
the South Koreans are not
doing their fair share, that
they should be made to do it
and thus release many of our
boys to come home. To that
end we should be training South
Koreans for the task.
The Secretary of Defense,
Robert A. Lovett "a Republi-
can, incidentally has given the
answer to his politicking friends.
He has described the extensive
training program for South Ko-
reans, carried on both in this
country and at home for the
past 18 months. He has pro-
duced the figures to show that
South Koreans engaged in bat
tie greatly outnumber all the
other United Nations troops, in
cluding Americans; that their
known casualties exceed ours
by so percent and that they
have had four times as many

FRANKFURT ON MAIN,
Germany (By MaiD.-There are
some Communists in the Fed
eral Republic of Western Ger
many; there are many more
leftwing socialists who listen
eagerly to the Muscovite peace
propaganda. And there are ac-
tually millions of Germans who
don't like Americans-particu-
larly American soldiers.
Yet despite these feelings and
despite the smallness of the
German police force, the bulk
OF which is armed only with
pistols and a few submachine
guns and is stationed on the
borders. there has not been a
single instance when walls were
plastered with slogans such as
Go Home Americans" or GO
Home Eddy" (our commander).
Many of our Western allies
feel that we have passed the
peak of our usefulness to them.
They want to remain friends
but they are getting increas-
ingly irked by what their politi-
clans describe as the American
1ntranSigeance" in dealing with
the Reds.
1t may be that the British and
French politicians who now
hold Office would like, too, to
keep a stern attitude toward
Russia and world communism.
But they are handicapped by
the many political opponents
who want to make capital out
OF American "intranSigeance"
and also by what they consider
crying need for trade with
the countries behind the Iron
Curtain. And they know that
unless they somehow find means
to soften their political attitude
toward the kremlln such trade
will not be possible. .-
Germany has not yet reached
the point where foreign trade
is as much a matter of sur
vival as it is with the Western
allied countries. This is due to
two factors: Cd the need to
repair the war damage in the
Federated Republic is such that
for the next few years much of
her efforts will have to be di-
rected mainly toward that goal;
and CD the German industrial
lists. engineers and scientists are
so sure of themselves that they
believe they can compete sue
cesSfully with any of the West
ern nations Gncluding America)
even in the present restricted
world markets.

mans name will not be on the
ballot November 4 and Adlai
Stevenson's will. Gov. Steven
son is not quite the forgotten
man of this campaign but he is
failing, by a wide margin, to
make his name a household
word.
Mr.. Truman recognizes the
peril Of his overshadowing Gov.
Stevenson. He takes it as a call
culated risk because he is so
sure the Democrats have the best
of the issues and must drive
them home to the people. He
reasons that it's his logical as
signment to do just that.
Reporters issue one warning
to the Eisenhower staff's reli-
ance on crowds as proof Of VIC
tory. They have noticed that,
while the crowds are indeed
large and affectionate. they tend
to thin out rather rapidly. Even
before Gen. Eisenhower begins
to speak, people start struggling
away, sometimes in substantial
numbers.
They are not as sure as the
staffers that the national hero
has been transformed into the
political white hope.

Lowell MeNett:
They Put Eugene Debs in Prison
But He Couldn't Have Suid Anything More Calculated
To Interfere With Droft 7hcn Things Being Said Nov

As November nears the Great
Crusade grows more reckless
and irresponsible. From trifiing
with the truth the crusaders
have advanced to trifling with
the Nations war effort, our part
in the collective effort of free
nations to throw back the ag-
gressive forces Of communism.
I don't know what the penal
ty for interfering with the draft
is today, but as far back as the
first World War it was a prison
sentence. Eugene ". Debs, a
Socialist and pacifist, went to
prison for speeches that were
held to interfere with the draft.
Debs spoke from simple con-
viction, a deep disbelief in all
war. not from any effort to
elect himself or his party to
Office. Nothing he said, how
ever, could have been calculated
to arouse more resentment to-
ward or interference with the
draft than is now being said by
some Of the Republican "cru-
saders."
In Salt Lake City on Tues
day, a three-man team COM
posed Of Senators Hickenlooper,
Ferguson and Millikin, following
the trail Of President Truman,
held a press conference in which
they said:
THE fact is that Mr.. Tru-
man offers employment oppor-
tunities to youth, provided by
crises and war" This was a
fair enough partisan remark as
part of the argument that our
present prosperity rests on our
military expenditures. But the
Senators said further: "Mr.
Truman offers them jobs pro-
vided by the draft /. he would
wrench them from whatever
home. occupation or profession
they hoped to establish. He
would send them to Korea to
die and be mutilated He
offers youth wheel chairs and
wooden legs. He offers youth

WITH GEN. EISENHOWER
IN CALIFORNIA, Oct. 9.-Re-
publicans pin their hopes for
victory on Gen. EiSenhower's
splendid crowds which are be-
ing amply maintained on the
Pacific slope.
Scouts who mingle with the
audiences after the train has

Eisenhower strategists offer
this reasoning:
Their candidate is a national
hero who creates a sense of
trust in himself personally. He
IS satisfying the desire for a
change and it doesn't make
much difference what he says
Or fails to say, which is a lot
Of territory, too.
This view is shared by men
who honestly deplore the Jen-

expediency. They advised against

No party. for instance, will fail
to take measures to prevent
depression. even If these demand
more of the State financing and
interference which right-wing
Republicans theoretically de-
plore. Neither party will alien
ate powerful groups, and neither
will see the extreme measures
Of left or right realized. The
United States is middle-of-the-
road, and approaches questions
not abstractly but pragmati-
cally. The world should know
this.
The charge of corruption has
been overplayed. The admins
tration is not "a bunch of
rascals." In Congress leading
crusaders against waste and
against officials willing, for a
consideration, to please the Gus
toners have been Democrats.
Nor is there evidence that
favor-seekers have all been
Democrats. Corruption requires
both corrupter and corrupted.
Most Americans are honest in
dealing with their Government
more voluntarily honest, in
my experience, than most
peoples.
The chief Communist infil-
tration into the Federal Civil
Service occurred during the de-
preston and the fighting alli-
ance with the Soviet Union. No
Soviet ally escaped this pene-
tration. 1t was aided by the de-

Comintern, and the wartime

Worlds Faith in America Shaken
Election Campaign Can Give Europe Wrong Picture of IT, S.
Most FOREIGNERS Cqnnot Understand the Red Issue

A group Of West German edi-
tors and writer's have arrived
to tour the country and study
the election campaign and the
economy. Remarking that Ger
man neo-Nazis are cooperating
with Communists in attacking
America, one of them said that
a strong neo-Nazi weapon is
the charge of corruption in
Washington.
They cannot understand the
"Red" issue. They feel that if
this country is really the strong
est in the world it should not
fear the Communists. If it is so
weak as to entertain that fear,
Europeans have been misled.
In our political fights we are
likely to forget that the struggle
is intensely followed by our
friends. and enemies abroad.
In November one or the other
candidate and party will be
called to govern. Few Americans
believe that either outcome will
mean catastrophe or even
radical change in foreign or
domestic policy.
In foreign policy Democrats
and Republicans are similarly
pledged in all essentials. In
domestic policy the next rad-
ministration will be checked by
Congress-, which seldom alignS
itself on strict party lines over
specific issues.
Both parties contain liberals
and conservatives, and the at
temptS Of one wing of each
party to purge the other wing
has failed.
The next administration will
have to temper its winds to con-
ditions in the country and
abroad. and to public opinion.

Stevenson II|-|nforned on Reds
Speech in Detroit Shows Nominee Doesn't Understand WAY
Communists Have Swoyed State Department Policies
David L0wrence:-

Gov. Stevenson started out
in this campaign with the rep
utation of knowing something
about national and international
affairs because he has been
chief executive of the State of
Illinois. But the speech he de-
livered at Detroit on Tuesday
night on the subject of COM
munism indicates that either
he never has read the news
papers on the subject of Com
munists in the United States,
or the congressional reports, or,
what is worse, he has decided in
order to get votes to ignore the
facts altogether.
It is a serious matter for a
man who hopes to be President
of the United States to know so
little about the anti Communist
controversy as to assume that
the whole thing merely concerns
espionage or spying. If the
Illinois Governor thinks so, he
ought to read the Presidents
executive order concerning dis
loyalty in the Federal Govern
ment. and something about the
effective way persons with COM
munistic philosophy have in
f1uenced the tragic policies Of
the State Department in the Far
East as revealed by the Senate
Internal Security Committee.
The Democratic presidential
nominee endeavors to defend the
record Of the Roosevelt Truman
administration in dealing with
Communists and take refuge in
the misleading statement that j.
Edgar Hoover of the FBI and
Gen. Walter Bedell Smith of the
Central Intelligence Agency are
the men who can drive Com
munists out of the Government,
and that with the problem in
their hands all is we'll.
But the truth is that neither
agency can do anything but sub
NIT evidence to the other de-
partmentS which decide for
themselves what to do about it.
The FBI is forbidden to evaluate
the information it gathers. II
the President and the Secretary
OF State choose to laugh off
charges and reverse loyalty
boards as has happened again
and again, there isn't much that
the FBI can do about it except
groan in anguished silence.
Boasting of the Democratic
Party's early vigilance, Gov.
Stevenson says:
In 1889 the Roosevelt ad-
ministration made it unlawful
for Communists to work for the
Federal Government"
But it was the House Un-
American Activities Committee
consisting Of Republicans and
Democrats who prodded the ad-
ministration into that step after

ing Communist organ in France,
and confirmed by the purging
OF the American Party the fol-
lowing June. It was then OBJ
vious that the Communists had
"co-operated" purely for the
purpose of defeating a Soviet
enemy.
But 1t is not easy to smoke
out conscious or unconscious
Communist agents in civil
services. They don't advertise
themselves as such. The claim
that Republicans would have
spotted them Immediately is
buncombe. Wartime agencies
headed by Republicans had
them. too.
Civil service employees have
certain legal rights. They can
not be fired on mere suspicion.
No government in power
wants to compromise itself by
admissions of guilt or error.
The Democratic administration
and its liberal supporters can
justly be criticized for white
washing.
But the charges made in this
campaign by a few Republicans,
especially by certain Midwest
congressional candidates, can
give the world the notion that
this administration is riddled
through and through by Reds"
and that if the Democrats win,
Communists may take over the
United States of America!
This does not add to Americas
position Of strength. The world
needs to observe faith. conf
dence. and serenity in America,
not a nervous breakdown, arti-
flcially stimulated.
