Scandinavia
11OPES for a bloodless liberation of Norway and
Denmark seem doomed to disappointment.
Although Dr. Werner Best, Himmer's man in
Denmark, has been reported toying with a plan
to evacuate the country, military commanders
in these two Nazi occupied countries have called
on their troops for a fight to the end under
Admiral Doenitz, self-announced successor to
Adolf Hitler.
The Nazi defensive armor in the Scandinavian
countries has always been relatively weak, al-
though the Germans established coastal forti-
fications on the west coast of Jutland. It is
significant to note, however, that Norway and
Denmark alone remain completely under the
Nazi yoke and it is possible that ranking officials
may have planned on withdrawing to a northern
hideout. All such plans have been killed, how-
ever, by the British-Russian juncture on the
Elbe, north of the fallen city of Berlin. With
Nazi garrisons to the north cut off, it is now
probable that German surrender in that area
is forthcoming. In any event it is not likely
to be the scene of a heavy battle and will prob-
ably fall into Allied hands with relatively little
bloodshed, despite Doeritz' plea of a few days
ago.
The liberation of these areas would open
the Baltic and provide a valuable sea lane
to the Russian troops in Latvia and Estonia
and Denmark's flat topography could very
well serve as an effective base of operations
against persistent resistance in southern Ger-
many.

Russia and Japan
STALIN and Russia celebrated on May Day,
when Moscow's blackout was lifted for the
first time since the start of the war. The Mar-
shal stood on Lenin's red marble tomb and led
the Soviet Union in one of the greatest demon-
strations in the 27-year-old history of the Soviet
government.
Thousands of men, tanks, guns, and armored
cars paraded by, while planes roared above in
accompaniment to a 1,200 piece band. Russia
was happy and excited.
The people were joyous because they expect
the war to end soon, and Gen. Alexei Antonov,
chief of staff, declared that "for the first time
in this war, our motherland is completely and
forever cleared" (of the eneny).
Waching with the rest of the crowd was
Eduard Herriot, former French president, who
was recently released from a German prison
camp by the Russians.
Ironically enough, someone else was also
watching: The Japanese ambassador to Mos-
cow, together with his staff. We wonder what
they were celebrating-or, better yet, if they
were celebrating. g -Betty Ann Larsen

0NLY a small segment of the world mourned
the death of Adolf Hitler-that segment
which regretted the passing of the leader of
fascism.

11y DRiW PEARSON
SAN FRANCISCO-San Francisco down by
the waterfront where ships sail in from the
Pacific, a long line of hospital trains wait in the
railroad yards. Large red crosses are painted
on the side of each car. Uniformed nurses are
inside. Silently, carefully, the cars are shunted
alongside incoming ships, ships from Okinawa,
Saipan and Guam, bringing the wounded home.
Almost every day they come in and are
rolled out, noiselessly, tenderly, boys who will
never fight again, some boys who will never
work again, all boys who hone there will be
no war again.
A mile or so away from the waterfront, sit
the representatives of 46 nations trying to make
that hope come true. It is a conference which
the world has awaited so eagerly; for which the
State Department has planned so carefully.
Fifty officials are here oiling the diplomatic
machinery. An unlimited budget has been at
their disposal. The city of San Francisco has
thrown all its hospitable energy into rooting for
the conference.
Yet it got off to a discouraging start. There
has been something lacking-no spark, no con-
tagious enthusiasm, no great personality to
lift things out of the doldrums of diplomatic
routine.
Perhaps it was the absence of that magic
personality, which even in his old age and ill-
health, could inspire an assemblage to the
heights of achievement. Perhaps it was the
lack of a great, dynamic ieader. At any rate
the early sessions featured the same cut-and-
dried formal futility as the frock-coated diplo-
mats who mourned the League of Nations to
death at Geneva.
Rio Enthusiasm.. ...
rfHREE YEARS ago at Rio de Janeiro, another
conference was. held of American foreign
ministers to solidify the New World against at-
tack. There, nothing hinged on stiff-necked
formality. Instead of three solemn speeches-
as in San Francisco-dolefully opening the con-
ference, any Rio delegate might take the floor
and say what he thought.
Nobody cared about lunch. Nobody cared
about the Rio reception scheduled for the late
afternoon. Nobody cared about the heat. The
conference was carried away with its own en-
thusiasm; with its own anxiety to achieve.
At San Francisco-how different. No dele-
gate had a chance to speak at the opening
session. He could not pour out to his col-
leagues his hopes and dreams for future peace.
He could only sit and listen-listen to the
solemn, carefully modulated voice of the far-
distant President, listen to the perfunctory
speeches of welcome reeled off by local offi-
cials.
It had the atmosphere of an undertaker's
parlor; or perhaps a U. S. Steel Corporation
directors' meeting over which Ed Stettinius
once presided. Instead it was suppos'ed to be
a conference carrying with it the hopes, the
ideals, the future of mankind.
Meanwhile, from incoming transports, cots
laden with woundedmen were loaded on hospital
trains to roll away quietly-almost as if they
did not wish to disturb the solemn serenity
of the delegates by injecting any unpleasant
reminder of war.
From West to East --.-
THE' ARMY is working today on a new film to
accompany "two down and one to go," a
movie already prepared to help explain to war-
weary G. L's the reason they must pack up
their kits in Europe and go on to fight anothe
war in the Pacific. The two films are intended
to bolster morale, now considered far more im-
portant than the actual physical 'problem of
transfer to the Orient.
"Greatest problem after the victory in Eu-
Vets Participate
T HAS often been said in recent months that
the members of the armed forces, who are
winning this war, should have some share in
planning the coming peace. But not much defi-
nite and constructive has been done towards

achieving this. There has been much talk, but
little action.
Now, however, a forward step has been
made, by Commander Harold E. Stassen, a
Republican chosen by Roosevelt as one of the
United States delegates to the San Francisco
conference. Commander Stassen, an Associat-
ed Press correspondent reported, has chosen
two wounded ex-servicemen to help him pres-
ent the feelings and views of men who have
seen combat.
If the veterans are to have a place at the'
peace table, the problem of choosing the dele-
gates would indeed be a difficult one, Those
Commander Stassen has chosen as his aides are
young-20 and 24-and educated. Sgt. John
Thompson of the Army was a student of criminal
pathology at Harvard, while Lt. Cloyd Meyer of.
the Marines studied law at Yale. Stassen, him-
self an idealist but far from starry-eyed, expects
to listen to their ideas a great deal.
This is a step in the right direction toward
a greater participation of servicemen in plan-
ning the peace. --Frances Paine

rope," according to Colonel William Mennin-
ger, world-famed chief of the Army psychia-
trists, "will be that of persuading combat vet-
erans who have completed one job to pack up
and go on to another war in the Pacific." Ile
anticipates a heavy rate of AWOL's.
This is the major reason that members of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee argued last
month against giving GI's on their way from
Europe to the Pacific a 30-day leave at home.
They are afraid civilign members of the soldiers'
family will encourage them to defy orders to
go on to the Pacific.
Army men whose morale is impaired but who
are not actual neurotics will be pushed over the
borderline by the Pacific transfer, Colonel Men-
ninger fears, although he believes most reas-
onably well-adjusted men will be able to take
the orders in their stride.
Excessive celebration here of the V-E day
announcement will make the Pacific assign-
ment a particularly hard thing for European
battle vets to accept, he warns.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
No Revolution
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
T IS NOT without significance that Mussolini
was killed by Partisans, while Hitler's death,
if he is dead, was an official affair, attended, on
invitation only, by a few members of the inner
governmental circle. Mussolini was killed by
men who'hated fascism; while Hi-tler's death,
or the report of it, was used to keep fascism
going.
There is so little revolutionary spirit in Ger-
many that even the death of the dictator is used
to bolster the dictatorship. It takes place, con-
veniently, only as an act of assistance to the
regime, not a blow against it.
There has' been no real sign of upsurge in
Germany at all. The reported "civil war" in
southern Germany seems to evaporate mysteri-
ously as our troops approach the areas in
which it is supposed to be raging. And it is
very late. Any revolutionary action now would
be a dance after the ball is over; it was too
late weeks ago for revolution in Germany to
have real meaning, as an act of assistance to
the allies, as an act to shorten the war.
The total absence of anything which could
be called revolutionary action in Germany is
really one of the most startling facts in the
history of the world. Nothing quite like this
has ever happened before. At most, there have
been only sheep-like desertions by soldiers; not
mutiny, just cut-and-run. Our reporters in the
captured cities have been sickened by a certain
groveling German smile; it has not been a
smile of friendship for us, but something like
the nervous smirk which pupils in a reform-
atory might turn upon a new headmaster. Aside
from some rather small scale underground act-
ivity in Munich, the most positive manifesta-
tions so far have been interruptions of official
German radio speeches by a "ghost voice," utter-
ing feeble japes, and giving no direction to the
people. You don't make a revolution with jokes
over the radio.
One feels the curious, thin, two-dimensional
quality of the German state, in watching the
efforts it has made to trot out a new govern-
ment. It substitutes an Admiral Doenitz for
a Hitler; i.e., all it can do is bring forth a less
important Nazi. If Doenitz won't do, the Ger-
mans will find a still less important Nazi, but
they cannot make any change in kind, either
from the bottom or from the top.
What a valuable national possession to the
Germans now even a third-rate truce union lead-
er would be, or an uncompromised college pro-
fessor! One such would be worth his weight in
diamonds in dealing with us. But there seems
no one of the sort available, and one senses,
suddenly, that Hitler's greatest victory has been
his victory over the German nation, and that
we are dealing with a disintegrated people.
There is almost nothing there to work with.
Even Italy, with its many political parties, and
its furious Partisan activity, seems bursting with
political health, compared with Germany. We

are dealing with a very sick thing in the Reich;.
a patient which has shown no signs of ability
to recuperate, or even a desire to recuperate.
That is what soft peace advocates fail to under-
stand; and their proposals that we be gentle with
the Germans in order to encourage them, are
like an effort to make a dying man spring out
of his bed by holding a piece of candy in
front of him.
It is not going to be that easy; it is going
to take time; during that time Germans must
be put to work to rebuild what they have
destroyed, for they can do day-work if noth-
ing else; until at last the reintegrative process
starts, and Germans suddenly look at each
other and ask: How did we get here? What
did we do wrong to end up so? One thinks
of the hospital wards in which emotionally
shattered soldiers try to work with their
hands, and one can make no better prescrip-
tion for Germany than occupational therapy
until she can think again.

absence of independence of vocal
line and, at the same time, a loss of
polyphonic unity.
The impatient audience was fin-
ally relieved of its anxiety when Os-
car Levant appeared on the stage.
Needless to say, Mr. Levant was the
star of the evening. It imust be ad-
mitted that he is definitely an artist
in his field. His natural tolent for
virtuosity in the jazz idiom is dazz-
ling. The intricate rhythms set forth
in the two Gershwin compositions
that were performed left everyone
breathless.
The reading of the Cencerto in
F by the orchestra did n)t reach
the standard attained in the Rhap-
sody in Blue. It seemed That Mr.
Ormandy and the orchestra failed
to capture the nostalgic beauty of
the first mevement. Th.- second
movement lacked the spontaneity
that is demanded by the improvis-
atory solos of the horn and brass
instroments. But the third move-
ment was indicative of what the
crehestra could really do-such as
was demonstrated in the Rhapsody
in Blue. The orchestra terminated
this American concert in the style
of George Gershwin. The clarinet
howled and the trumpets cried in
such t . -Aashion that evn our top
not eh jazz virtuosos would have
turned green with professional jea-
lously.
Unable to leave his enthusiastic
audience without at least one encore,
Mr. Levant obligingly performed two
of Gershwin's most popular Preludes.

WHEN Representative Clare Hoff-
man comes up for re-election in
1947 Michigan voters would do well
to remember his stand on the Fair
Employment Practices bill.
The Detroit News Tuesday quoted
him as saying: "It is evident that
there is the additional desire and
purpose to prohibit discrimination in
social intercourse in education, in
business as well." The bill seeks
merely to prohibit discrimination in
employment because of race, color or
creed.
It is legitimate to point out that
discrimination is basic to fascism
and we are fighting a world war to
defeat fascism. Of course the Fair
Employment Practices Bill seeks to
prohibit discrimination-discrimi-
nation in employment is the first
step and it is hoped that ultimate-
ly discrimination in social inter-
course, in education, and business
will be wiped out.
This is part of the home front fight .
against fascism and the fascists.
