DR.. Johns Case
HI. ]. w.

The DR.. John incident in Germany is
a very important Sign of the times in
that country. We Americans must pre-
pare ourselves to understand it. DR..
John was well-informed man. If any
one knew the dangers of kidnapping he
knew them. If he had not wanted to
go to the eastern zone willingly, why
did he not take companion with him
on his visit to his Communist friend?
DR.. John had vast amount of in
formation. This information permit
ted him to project his Imagination into
the future. He did not like what he
saw there. When the German people,
as a whole, get the information which
DR.. John has, we may expect them to
react exactly as DR.. John acted. This
is sad for us and bad omen, but we
must be prepared for it,
Like all similar situations in the af-
fairs OF men, can we in time change
the attitude of the Germans so that
this may be prevented? To those who
have studied the Germans and wish to
be honest in what they see, the pro-
grams carried on by governmental
agencies have been stupid. Our mai
vete has been amazing.
The German personality has set for
itself well-known pattern. When he
reaches certain point, as the Ameri-
can expresses it, he elbows up" He
does just that. He gropes individually
for while, and when he reaches a
point Of civic bewilderment or frustra-
ton he reacts en- masse. This is what
makes him SO dangerous.
It will be noted that DR.. John was
Prussian. There has never been a
Prussian who understood South Ger
man, and there has never been a South
German who understood a Prussian,
but for good or evil the Prussian is and
has been for long time the opinion
maker for Germany.

Hopelessly irresponsible

The final Judgment between General
Marshall on the one hand and the Wood
rings and the McCarthys on the other can
safely be left to the verdict OF history. Mean
while, it is a distressing thing that the SEN
ate can be used to publicize another shabby
attack on a fine American.
Those who recall Mr.. Woodring's days
in washington viii not be surprised that he
would write private letter saying that
General Marshall would sell out his own
grandmother for personal advantage" It
is deplorable, however, that this kind Of
rot can be spread before the country with
the protection afforded by the Congressional
Record Senator Mccarthy evidently is not
revolted by his own irresponsible perform
ance. But his colleagues ought to be.

There is no use telling you not to

small unit value, carried to the hun
dredth of an inch, greatly minimizes
what the water output of natures rain
factory for the District actually was
and what the deficiency. While the
present method of reporting is the only
one feasible, we are, after all, concerned
with the quantity of water involved.
When we express this in actual
amounts, the figures become psychology
ically much more impressive and give
greater appreciation of the Stupen-
dous operations of nature in supplying
our earth with the indispensable ele-
ment of water.
For example there are in the District
of Columbia 38,400 acres of land. The
June and July deficiency in rainfall for
the District was 5.43 inches. This means
shortage for these two months of GA
tons of water for each acre of land. or
more than 1900 tons for an average
city block of two acres. For the entire
District the shortage was %. SCI $50
tons of water, or, on the average, ap-
proximately 1856, 1000 tons for each of the
81 days in the period.
Now let us see how the farmers of
Montgomery County have Jared. At
the beginning of June every month
since the first of the year, except one,
had had deficient moisture. Then came
extremely dry June and July. Farmer
"A" cultivates 100-acre farm and for
these two months his deficiency of water
from rainfall for his 100-acre farm
was more than 10000 tons. No wonder
his grass is scared and crops blighted.
What could he have done about it in
the absence of an extensive and expen-
sive irrigation system? It may be Sug-
gested that he employ some so-called
rainmaker to relieve the situation.
However rainmakerS concede they can
effectively operate only when rain
clouds are present, and during these
trying weeks these have been conspicu-
ously absent, with almost continuously
clear skies. After all, had the usual
recognized rain clouds been present,
who would say that they in their
natural effective operation in natures
rain factory. would not have delivered
the precious fluid, regardless?
