BARUCH PLAN: Rapid Conversion .After War Is Important Step BERNARD M. BARUCH has done it again. His intelligent, well worked out program, which he has devised together with his assistant, John M. Hancock, for fast reconversion of war indus- tries to peacetime production, is an important step in the fight'to preserve a lasting peace and an efficient economy. The whole plan boils down to the simple, but sensible thesis that conversion must be rapid to prevent a devastating depression and that ndus- try must know what to -expect from the govern- inent in order to plan for the future. Baruch's proposals for a post-war tax pro- gram that business can count upon, plans for government loans to aid industry in reconver- sion and the suggestion that a specific 'X-Day' be designated arbitrarily for the defeat of Germany and the beginning of real reconver- sion, are especially important. Immediate action should be taken by Congress on Baruch's recommendations. - Ray Dixon FORTUNATE: Hobuse Sustains Veto, Subsidies To Continue YESTERDAY the House of Representatives sustained President Roosevelt's veto of the anti-subsidy bill. It is extremely fortunate that the President realized the need for subsidies to fight infla- tion and thus vetoed the repealer, and that there were a few Congressmen who realized that we are at war. As a result the House was short 25 votes of the two thirds majority necessary to override the veto, and food subsidies, which are so vitally needed now in wartime, will continue. - Louise Comins UNNECESSARY: Revised Bankhead Bill Threatens Free Press A RENOVATED Bankhead bill providing for government payments to newspapers for publishing war bond advertising was reported favorably by the House Ways and Means Com- rhittee. Supported only by a group of smaller pub- lishers, mostly small cities, and by politicians seeking to curry favor with newspapers in their districts, the previous Bankhead measure was passed in the Senate by a narrow margin last November, and then killed in a House committee a few weeks later. In its revised version, the bill provides for $15,000,000 in federal funds to be distributed to newspapers in cities having a population of 25,000 instead of the 10,000 maximum stipu- lated in the first measure. The same objections which applied to the pre- vious measure pertain to the renovated bill. ' In the first place, such a government subsidy would greatly endanger the cherished freedom of the press, opening the path for political pressure. In the second place, such a subsidy is entire- l.. ..wraonnoco m. M%.-.J- n t~rah tr n~H inicSays THE PERSONALITY which may be said to be religious constitutes a major inquiry today. The George Meade idea of "symbolic interaction" is significant. This theory makes the personality dependent upon group fellowship quite as much as upon the private aim, faith or aspiration. Assuming the person and assuming the con- genial group, what is essential for religious growth or growth toward religiousness? The fol- lowing aspects are enumerated by W. L. Troyer in the July, 1943, issue of Religious Education: (1) Voluntary participation in commonly shared ends and activities. (2) Completeness and intimacy of association. (3) Variety and range of stimuli and suggestion. (4) Devotion to the realization of ideal possibilities. (5) Deliberate rather than impulsive method in dealing with problems, conflicts and crises. (6) Unity in an organizing perspective capable of giving meaning and value to specific phases of life. The great Cooley spoke on "self-feeling with others." John Dewey said "the individual becomes alert to recognize the special aims of the group and the means to be employed in securing success." (Democracy and Education, p. 16-17). So much for a non-theological approach. Jesus identified worship and such personal conduct as "eternal life" and the ultimate social goal as the "Kingdom of God." By prayer to God and practice of such a search for meaning, one can court religiousness with much more precision of soul than without these or similar directives. In a period of great tension, as in war, there is opportunity for us to test either theory and observe one's own progress. The opportunity is two-fold: (1) In the intimate face-to-face group and the close secondary fellowship, we actually can do an experiment in religiousness. (2) On the world scale, we should try to see one social phenomena of interaction among the Allied leaders who are friends and see the opposite type of behavior dramatically exhibited between insti- tutionalized enemies. Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religijous Education DREW- PEARSON'S CI aa> -MERRY-GOROUND WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Bob Hannegan, re- cently elected chairman of the Democratic Nat- tionai Committee, has tackled his tough new job with a touch of iron beneath his contagious smile. He is calling on every member of the Cabinet, including Republicans Stimson and Knox, to ask their cooperation on jobs for Democrats. He intends to bolster the Democratic party, and one good old-fashioned way of bolstering it is through patronage. How he makes obit with Secretaries Stimson and Knox, who have loaded their War and Navy Departments up with Republicans, remains to be seen. Nevertheless, Hannegan says he is going to tackle them. He assumes that, since they are serving under President Roosevelt, they want him re-elected for a fourth term. The indomitable Hannegan is also cleaning out the Democratic National Committee and has even bearded Mrs. Roosevelt's own per- sonal pet inside the committee, Lorena Hic- kock. The women's division, in which Miss Hickock is active, raised only $30,000 last year, but spent$70,000for expenses to raise it. Han- negan thinks this is poor economics and he has told the ladies that they will have to cut down their payroll or up their contributions-per- haps both. Also he is serving notice on gentle Mrs. Charles W. Tillett, assistant chairman of the committee, that since she is paid a regular salary, she will have to work full time and earn it, not spend most of her time at her home in North Carolina. Question of Farley . . One place where smiling Bob is going to have trouble, however, is with Jim Farley. The two men met not long ago, and Jim expressed great pleasure over Hannegan's appointment. They, got along famously. But one factor contributing to their congeniality may have been Hannegan's statement that, as chairman of the National Committee, he expected to let State Democratic' chairmen hand out federal jobs in their states. For a long time, Jim Farley, though chair- man of the New York State committee, hasn't had even the smell of a post office. All federal job assignments have been handled through the President's old friend, Ed Flynn. This was a definite and deliberate Farley snub by Frank Walker and Flynn, with the okay of the White House. So now the big question is how Hannegan can make good on his promise to let Farley pass out federal jobs in New York. Obviously, Frank Walker and Ed Flynn, to say nothing of FDR himself, aren't going to let him do it. As a result, Jim is either going to be fighting mad, or else he will be a good party man and come around to supporting whatever Demo-. 1d Rather SBe Right By SAMUEL GRAFTON NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-During war we think of the top German fascists as deadly enemies who must be destroyed. What reason, if any, exists for changing this attitude the moment peace arrives? Must we, on that day, stop thinking of Ger- man fascists as deadly enemies to be destroyed, and begin to think of them only as criminals to be tried? Or perhaps not even as criminals, but only as indicted men, presumed innocent until proven guilty? The only difference the coming of the armis- tice should make is that it ought to give us the right to substitute methods of peace for methods of war in carrying out our policy. But our policy must remain the same, the destruction of the fascist power. NO SOLUTION SHORT OF EXILE That is why I see no solution short of the instant and automatic exile, without trial, of, say, the 100,000 top Nazi functionaries. That alone can be the logical culmination of the war, to be carried out as the final battle of the war. The great danger is that we may tend to make too sharp a differentiation between the period of war and the period of peace. Our high political policy should be a continuing policy, equally valid for war and peace. The chief difference between war and peace should be the difference in methods used for carrying out our policy. Naturally, methods change when the armistice arrives, but policy itself need not change and should not change. WHY LET IT BECOME ANOTHER WAR? It will be strange and wavering conduct on our part to fight a desperate war for the purpose of destroying fascism, and then, the moment we win the war, change over to another purpose entirely, that of putting fascists on trial for hor- rible, condemnable, but still only collateral offenses, called atrocities. But the most atrocious fascists have probably committed no physical atrocities. How, then, shall we handle Julius Streichet, publisher of the infamous and pornographic "Der Stuermer," which has poisoned the minds of a generation? Under the blearily legalistic "trial" system, the worst we could probably do to Streicher would be to deny him second-class mailing privileges. The proposal that we stage "trials," no matter how well-meaning, is a proposal that we shall not do what we are at war to do, the moment i becomes possible to do it. Let us keep our sights up. This is not a war about atrocities, though atrocities have been committed during the war. It is not a war about the Hague Conventions, though the Hague Con- ventions have been violated. It is 'a war about fascism. If the coming of the armistice changes our purpose, then it will not be an armistice, but a subtle and concealed defeat.. THEY WILL SEE THE TRAINS LEAVE ,Let us keep our sights up: It is our job to dis- mantle the Nazi Party as unemotionally and methodically as we propose to dismantle Nazi arms factories. This is our task, by methods of war so long as the Germans prefer war, by methods of peace when they tire of fighting. The task remains, through war and peace. We are lib- erators, not judges. We are liberators, not school teachers for the children of Germany. We are liberators, and unless we liberate, un- less we physically remove the fascist bureauc- racy to a place of exile, all our schemes for democratic schools and democratic trolley cars and democratic porridge for the new Germany will be window-dressing to hide a failure. But if we do remove the fascist bureaucracy, without trial, on mere identification, then all these subordinate problems instantly become more manageable. It will not seem nearly so hard then to teach the German children that fascism does not work. They will actually have learned that lesson before they come to school. They will have seen the trains leave, carrying the fascists and fascism to the border and oblivion. (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) SUNDAY, FEB. 20, 1944 c VOL.

Hard-hitting Economic Czar Judge Vinson has been engaged in a tough verbal war over the price of oil with equally hard-hitting Harold Ickes, but they like and respect each other just the same. Shortly after George Briggs, whom Ickes previously had hired to peruse his letters for errors in English, was indicted on a charge of forging the Harry Hopkins letter, Vinson got a stiff letter from Ickes. It was couched in 'pro- verbial Ickes vitriol. Judge Vinson read it over, was about to dictate an equally hot reply, but finally remarked to his secretary: "I guess we'd better not take advantage of Harold while his grammarian is in jail."
