(Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles on what should ba done with the Germans after the war. Pierre Van Paassen, author of today's article, is a noted American journalist and author of "Days of Our Years" and "That Day Alone." His article is re- printed from Look magazine. William L. Shirer's views will be presented to- morrow.) By PIERRE VAN PAASSEN HOW are we to make certain that, after a breathing spell of, say, a quarter of a century, Germany will not once more burst forth in a new attempt to subjugate her neighbors and dominate the world? For transforming Germany into a peaceful democracy, I recommend the following steps: 1. Liquidation of the National- Socialist Party and capital punish- ment for Hitler and the entire Nazi leadership. 2. Public trials before an interna- tional court of those connected in any way with any barbarous acts inside or outside Germany. 3. Liquidation of the Berlin Mili- tary Academy and the Munich Geo- political Institute. 4. Effective disarmament; demo- bilization of the present General Staff and abolition of the entire Junker military caste. This would include the national- ization of the huge private estates belonging to Junker families in East Prussia. 5. Replacement of all military schools by schools of democracy. During a test period before the fi- nal peace settlement, such schools would be directed by American, English and Russian educators. 6. Nationalization, in a demo- cratic sense, of industries producing chemicals, machinery and electro-. technical products, rolling mills and cotton mills. These industries should be placed under United Na- tions commissions, but only for the duration of the test period and sole- ly for the purpose of checking the non-military character of their production. 7. Coal mining and steel works situated in the Ruhr, Saar and Up- per Silesian regions to be interna- tionalized during the trial period. The purpose of detaching these areas from the rest of the Reich would be to provide priority of shipment to such areas as have been destroyed by Nazi invasion and stripped by Nazi administra- tion. 8. A solemn public declaration by the government of the new Ger- many will be required, stating that the "racial theory" has no scien- tific basis and was used by the Nazi gangsters merely as a political blud- geon. This would mean that the exiled German Jews would be urgently invited to come lack to take their rightful place in their fatherland, that their return transportation would be paid and their confiscated or stolen property would be restored te them. Heirs of Jews murdered by Nazis would have to be compensated in full. German courts with interna- tional juries would have to be es- tablished to deal with all cases of compensation and restoration. 9. Social insurance and other benefits to workers are to be insti- tuted, and to be administered along lines parallel to those laid down for the rest Of the world in the new post-war order. In other words, Germany is to get the benefit of new progressive systems worked out in England and America. 10. Freedom of worship to be guaranteed by Qhe new democratic political regime. Rigid adherence to these 10 prin- ciples during the test period would conclusively prove Germany's ca- pacity for becoming a trustworthy democracy. If she can become one- and I have no doubt she can-the establishment of a peaceful world would be possible. UT peace will come only after Europe will have undergone a rebirth. The final settlement must transform Europe's fragile pre-war balance of power into a federation, union or commonwealth of states. There must be established a collec- tive authority which will have such military and economic power as will enable it to enforce real peace. This authority must have far greater power than the League of Nations ever had; and it must have a gigantic budget which will enable it to undertake vast international public works and international de- velopment of colonial areas, as in Africa: The purpose of such develop- ments should be to make greater abundance available both to the inhabitants of those areas and to all mankind. They should help raise the standard of living of workers in all lands. A STEP to which I am unalterably opposed is armed occupation of any part of Germany after the final treaty, has been signed. (I am pre- suming that the federation is to have a military force to insure peace, that Germany-like any other state-may maintain an army for internal police work only.) The workability and success of a world federation will depend on the victors, not on the vanquished. For, if we demand democracy, disarma- mnent anl voluntary submission to a collective authority from Ger- many, we must demand it equally GUARANTEE OF FREEDOM: Wendell Willkie Issues Warning To America Against Abandoning Liberal Arts Education S MILITARY VICTORY looms nearer, our vision of the real significance of the war becomes increasingly dimmer. We are losing sight, for one thing, of the fact that an extremely important result of victory must be to make possible a world in which free- dom of artistic, scientific and literary endeavor, can flourish, a world in which intellectual curi- osity and activity have as great a value as any material good. And to ensure that such a world will be pos- sible, we must not throw liberal education over- board in the immediate rush to equip ourselves with the technical training needed for the war. THIS IS WHAT Wendell Willkie so cogently warped us against in his address last night at Duke University. He declared, "... we cannot win a true vic- tory unless there exists in this country a large $1,000, IF: Bying Vanities' Tickets n Aids Scholarship Plan THE BOMBER SCHOLARSHIP FUND tonight will receive perhaps the largest single con- tribution made to it during the present school year. This will be in the form of the proceeds from "Victory Vanities," the all-campus stunt show sponsored by the Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council. The scholarship plan, already $9,000 to the good, will receive an additional $1,000 if plans of the stunt show committee-members go through and if students respond as expected. But at- present only 1,400 tickets have been sold, which mreans that the "Vanities" com- mittee is short of achieving their goal by ex- actly one-half. They need 'to sell at least an- other 1,000. These groups, the IFC and Pan-Hel, and their leaders-John Fauver, Virginia Morse, Pete Win- gate, and Lorraine Dalzen, tosay nothing of the many others that have also helped-are to be commended not only for conceiving of"such a noteworthy method of aiding the scholarship plan, but also for making the "Vanities" idea a reality. BUT they can't make the contribution single- handed. It is now up to the campus to take the "if's" out of the way of achieving the $1,000 goal. And, what better cause could the students contribute to than one from which they them- selves will be benefited by a scholarship given them after one year of college and one year of armed service? -Bud Brimnwr body of liberally educated citizens. This is a war for freedom-freedom here and freedom elsewhere. But if we are going to risk our lives for freedom, We must at the same time do all we, can to preserve the deep springs from which it flows ... It is true that a man cannot be free unless he has a job and a decent in- come. But this job and this income are not the sources of his freedom. They only implement it.. Freedom is of the mind . . . It is in the liberal arts that you acquire the ability to make a truly free and individual choice." He went on to say, "The preservation of our system of liberal education during the war will make an enormous difference in the moral and human tone of our society in the future, of the very atmosphere in which the peace is made, and, since we are not an isolated society, of all civilization after the war." But Mr. Willkie didn't stop at merely theoriz- ing about the necessity of continuing liberal edu- cation during the war. He°proposed specifically that liberal arts should be as much a part of our war training as the more obviously needed tech- nical training.' He proposed that those students who for vari- ous reasons are not available for military service, those who return from war physically disabled from further active service, and a nucleus of those whose aptitudes qualify them as definitely, for our long range needs as ... other men are obviously qualified for medicine," should be given a sound liberal arts' training in order to pre- serve the structure of liberal arts colleges during the war and to train and enrich minds "for the humanizing and civilizing of the world to come after. MR. WILLKIE'S SPEECH has come at a time when there is a crying need for such words as his. The voices speaking out for the preserva- tion of liberal arts education during the war have become fewer and fainter, as we have rushed more precipitously into the total conver- sion of our educational resources to war needs. Such conversion is necessary-vitally neces- sary. Wendell Willkie recognizes this, when he says, "It is right and proper that the universities of this country should turn over to the armed forces whatever facilities they have. But, next to losing the war itself, the most tragic eventuality would be losing the values which we mean to preserve by victory. And the best away we can lose those values is by abandoning liberal education. IF WE ALLOW the temporary necessity for in- stituting huge-scale technical training to de- stroy permanently the values which only liberal education can foster, we shall be substituting the basic philosophy of our enemies for our own. -Irving Jaffe DREW PEARSON'SY MERRY-O-ROUND WASHINGTON-Cordell Hull, who as an ex- Congressman detests lobbyists, especially sugar lobbyists, is waging a silent but potent feud against the big sugar interests of Cuba. Actually, Cuba itself has very little to do with it. Itpis the big Wall Street sugar com- panies dominated by the Chase National Bank and the Nationa, City Bank which have aroused Secretary Hull's Tennessee ire. He is out to break their strangle hold on our island neighbor. Behind the feud is the fact that last year Jesse Jones' Defense Supplies, Inc., purchased the en- tire Cuban sugar crop at a very high price, and now we find ourselves with 1,600,000 tons of sugar left in Cuba, plus 65,000,000 gallons of in- vert syrup, plus 70,000,000 gallons of blackstrap molasses. We needed the syrup and molasses for mak- ing alcohol. Also we feared a sugar shortage. But we did not figure on the submarine and shipping crisis which now makes it almost im- possible to move the above balance out of Cuba. None of this was Jesse Jones' fault, except pos- sibly the high price-which gave the big sugar companies and their New York bankers a profit of $60,000,000 to $80,000,000. Sugar Goes To Waste However, Cuba now wants us to buy the cur- rent sugar crop, and we don't want it. We al- ready have 1,600,000 tons in Cuba which we can't move, plus syrup and molasses; so there is no reason in the world for buying more. The Cuban Government, however, points out that it cannot sell its sugar unless it sells to us; and with our market gone, the island will be bankrupt, will face riots and revolution. The State Department is sympathetic to the Cuban viewpoint and has suggested that Cuba diversify its crops, planting peanuts which are badly needed here, plus fibre crops for making rope, no longer obtainable from the Philippines. The State Department also has offered a loan to improve the central high- way running the length of the island. However, the Cuban Government is reluctant. They say they have been raising sugar for 400 years, that they understand sugar, and they don't want to diversify now. or our lands overrun. But the way I feel now I would like to see us intensely serious about our freedom, because I love the stuff. It seems sacri- legious to me the way we treat it so casually when I know that all of us feel the same way about it. If we had to suffer for our ideals the way Job did it would make us a better nation.It would cleanse us of every trace of sophistry, egotism, and softness. The other day in a book store I happened to pick up a little book called "Anti-Dictator" by La Boetie, and it expresses my dismay much better than I can. He says, in part, "I do'not know how it happens that nature fails to place within the hearts of men a burning desire for liberty, a bless- in-~ en -r-o nn rlcia h fh e n n- f'is lncl from the rest of Europe, neutral, friend and foe, alike. Should we, after destroying Naz- ism, permit Fascist islands to exist in other parts of the world, we would fail dismally in our task of educating Germany and integrat- ing her into a new democratic world order. A Franco Spain, a Darlan France, a Hapsburg Austria, a Ciano or Savoy Italy, to cite only a few ex- amples, could no more have a place in a democratic Federation of Eur- ope than could a Hitler Germany. Unless, therefore, our victory purges Europe, including the Bal- kans, of every vestige of Fascism, our plans for the establishment of permanent peace would from the very beginning be but hypocritical self-delusion. F A TRUE brotherhood of nations is to emerge from this war against Fascism and Nazism, then we must open our ranks to all nations that demonstrate their willingness to collaborate in the new democratic world order. The Germans cannot simply be wiped off the map. Nor can we very well isolate them behind huge walls or fortifications and hold them there as prisoners of the world. The Maginot Line conception of secur- ity has been shattered by this war. There is no physical means of bot tling up a modern state.

We have lately be- come aware of somethitg new in China: impatience. The Chinese do not think we have been helping them enough, and, lately, they have found ways of saying so. We ate so surprised, you could knock us down with a feather. It is too late to remedy the ill by giving China "a little more." The history of the last ten years is a history of a little less, and then a little more. Mere quantitative chani- ges are no longer enough. We need qualitative changes. We not only need to increase the amount of our help to China; we need a new set of scales in which to measure owr help. We need to give up the Lady Bountiful, or dear friend, relation with China, and exchange it for a partnership. One Voice Should Be Chinese WE ARE united nations, yet the amount of aid China gets from us is based entirely on our own, uni- lateral decision. When Great Bri- tain was involved with China, as in the defense of Hong Kong, then Singapore, and "then Burma, the extent of its use of Chinese troops, and of its arming of Chinese men, rested entirely on Britain's unilat- eral decision. She could give, or she could deny; just as we give, or as we deny. China needs more than a little additional supply, or a'little less supply. She needs voice and vote. Had Britain and China lost Hong Kong together, the loss would not have been half so important. This one-sided machinery for making decisions about munitions, and not the shortage of munitions, hurts American-Chinese and Brit- ish-Chinese relations. China knows how to do without. She has done more with les. longer than any That colonel will not sit on our combined chiefs of staff commit- tee; he will wait outside for the de- cisions of that committee. That's what's wrong; we give or we take away, on our own motion. A turn-down by a board on which China was represented would be more palatable; it would, in fact, not be a turn-down. It would be a Chinese decision, or a United Na- tions decision. We should have. enough faith in our over-all stra- tegic plan to believe that, if it makes sense, it wIll make sense to Chinese as well as to others. And it is not safe, either strate- gically or politically, for one nation to make final decisions about an- other. We know that's true. That's what the war's about. Democracy's chief strength is precisely that it allows each party to Snake the case for its own interests. We need, for our own interest, to be able to say to China, whatever the future brings: "You shared in the decision!" That is the other side of the democratic method; it avoids unilateral responsibility as well as unilateral authority, and both are good things to avoid. No Trucks, and No Strategy AS TO what happens, in the field, because of the present arrange- ment, rend Michael Straight's bril- liant (and I don't mean merely good, I mean brilliant) new book: "Make This the Last War." The Chinese are told, say, that a certain dumber of motor trucks will arrive in a certain number of months. They base a strategic plan on the arrival of those trucks. At the last minute a (unilateral) decision, by- us, sends the trucks elsewhere. The result is not merely a lack of trucks, the result is also the blowing-up of a strategic plan.
