The University campaign opens officially to- morrow. Both campaigns continue through Jan- uary 31, and is the twelfth annual campaign in the war against infantile paralysis. Just last summer Infantile Paralysis struck America the hardest blow the nation has sus- tained in the history of the disease in 28 years. Any child, even yours, may be the next to be stricken with this dreaded disease. PFoiio picks its victims from wealthy homes, tenements, farms, war production centers, chil- dren of our fighting men, small towns, and large cities. All children are equally defenseless against, this enemy. However, because of the efforts of the thou- sands of volunteer members of the Foundation, each tragedy-hit child will have every chance for recovery through the complete scientific aid pro- vided by the Foundation. The combined power of dimes, contributed each year by the American people to the March of Dimes in Celebration of the President's birthday, makes it possible for every infantile paralysis victim, regardless of age, race, creed, or color, to receive the best medical care avail- able. All over the country last summer this money was on hand to provide early medical care, which may mean the difference between a life of crip- pling or normal recovery. Each modest dime you contribute in this campaign will bear interest far beyond the financial calculation. Remember this and con- tribute to the 1945 March of Dimes, January 14-31. - Aggie Miller. By DREW PEARSON W ASHINGTON, Jan. 14-There is significant background behind the appointment of Brit- ish Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery to com- mand of two American armies, thereby taking away most of the command of Lieut. Gen. Omar B. Bradley. There are also interesting reasons why it was kept such a hush-hush matter from the American public. General Bradley has now been awarded the bronze star by Eisenhower and congratulated by Churchill to take the sting out of his loss of the First and Ninth Armies. The idea that Bradley made the transfer himself also has been pub- licized. Despite these maneuvers it is known in- side the War Department that highest U. S. war chiefs opposed the transfer to Montgomery and that it was put across by General Eisenhower anyway. Background of the reshuffle goes back to the landing in Normandy last summer when Montgomery was given Caen as his objective, while Bradley was to take Cherbourg. Bradley reached his objective ahead of schedule in a new type of offensive fighting, in which U. S. troops did not wait for supplies to come up nor for snipers to be wiped out. Montgomery, using more conservative, slow- moving, old-fashioned tactics, sat with his army at Caen and either could not or would not break through until long after schedule, and until Bradley, ignoring Montgomery, smashed the Nazi lines to the south and started the lightning dash to Paris. 'Montgomery Demoted' - . Afterward, the Stars and Stripes carried a story that Bradley was being promoted to the rank of full General and would supersede Mont- gomery. The Stars and Stripes being an official Army newspaper, the story naturally was true. But publication in London caused such a furor among the British that the British Broadcasting company went on the air with an emphatic denial. After that the shift of armies was held up for a while, until Montgomery could be made a Field Marshal to appease both him and British public opinion. Bradley then took over com- mand of all the American armies under Eisen- hower, and Montgomery was left only with the two British and Canadian armies in Holland and Belgium. Since then Monty has been waiting for his chance to stage a comeback. His friends of the British press-of whom he has many-have been doing the same, So immediately following the German breakthrough, he began pressuring Eisenhower to give him the American First and Ninth armies. Montgomery is a superb defensive fighter. When his back was to the wall at El Alamein just a few miles from Cairo, he did a great job. When given offensive jobs as in Sicily, at Caen, and at Armhem he failed to make the grade. How much of Eisenhower's decision to put Montgomery in command of the two Ameri- can armies depended upon his ability as a de- fensive fighter, and how much on British pres- sure is not known. It is known, however, the transfer of commands was opposed in the War Department and was carefully hushed-up for two weeks and not even all of the top-ranking executives in the Pentagon Building knew about it. Also it is a significant fact that Eisenhower is answerable to Churchill as well as Roosevelt. He cannot be removed by Roosevelt without Church- ill's ok and he has to get along with both. That is an important point not realized by many. But not to be forgotten. Capitol Chf... Frederick Woltman of Roy Howard's New York World-Telegram, is releasing a series re- vealing the highest U. S. Army posts have been taken over by Communists. This will be news to Joe Stalin. The British modestly admit their paratroop landings in Greece last fall constituted a great military achievement, but newsmen on the scene are somewhat cynical about it-especial- ly Pat Frank of the Overseas News Agency, Sid Feder of Associated Press, and John Chabot Smith of the New York Herald Tribune. These three landed at the Megara air field and waited in solitude for four hours for the Brit- ish paratroopers to come and "seize" the field. Army officers returned from China say the definition of a - Communist in China is "anyone whowants to reduce interest rates to 20 per cent." Kansas Mammoth Food Cave.... Although the War Food Administration is go-. ing ahead with the building of its huge under- ground Storage Cave near Atchison, Kan., some storage experts within the agency are convinced the project is a waste of good money. About $1,- 750,000 will be spent outfitting this natural cave with scarce priority air-cooling equipment and work to make the cave suitable for food storage. But the fact is even these expenditures will not be able to bring about freezing temperature., Capacity of the cave will be about 2,600 car- loads, equal to the combined capacity of com- mercial warehouses in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, plus the cities of Omaha, Neb., and Sioux City, Iowa, all put together. Storage people in these areas are worried sick about the future of their business. Last month the Kansas Packing and Market- ing Company, Hutchinson, Kan., offered to "NO NATION won it. Everyone lost it, and from now on all great wars will always be lost by all the combatants." Here is a comment by Dorothy Thompson after World War I. If we are to avoid such a judgment this time, there are a few basic conditions namely; first, the Allied powers must become solidified and we, their peo- ples, while the struggle is on learn to accept each other not as contenders against someone,-but as joint sufferers for everyone. This can mean a spiritual rebirth within the United Nations and cause our ethical growth to match the sacrifices already made by our officers and men. Second, our leaders at the war's conclusion must cham- pion those goals by which, in the beginning of war, our leaders brought men and women to blood, sweat and tears. This means a peace out- look as inclusive as the four freedoms and a re- construction and thorough as the eight high statements of the Atlantic Charter. Third, unless the peoples who are being brought out of bond- age not only are freed from war and starvation but are treated to the highest degree of personal, social and political freedom which the genius of democratic nations can provide, regardless of the labels or patterns which such peoples adopt. In his essay on "Unity in Religion" Francis Bacon pointed out two ignoble peace treaties; "one patched up in ignorance of facts, for all colors will agree in the dark,"-and the other, "made by the admission of contraries in funda- mental points." Here is a caution for the Depart- ment of State, but also here is a warning for every citizen. Today even the rustic can see as Woodrow Wilson preached at the end of World War I, that no amount of fighting, much less any amount of spending or evolving of new political instruments, however noble and necessary, can justify the devotion and heroism of our men, and of our allies, unless in the end fellow men are enriched many fold and an adequate enduring new form of social growth with a world scope can be created. Here is the burden of religion today and while family councils, church altars, conven- tions of the clergy and all other idealists may feel that their efforts seem futile while the battles are at their worst, there is some reason for confidence and faith in the realization that Civilian groups are on the march for the Dum- barton Oak's proposals, that in the "Seven Patterns for Peace," Jews, Catholics and Pro- testants of the United States have joined as never before, and that the Anglicans have been guests of the Russian Orthodox. In the midst of customary independence these various re- ligious communities, representing many mil- lions of pious people, are jointly alert to the spiritual needs of our decade and by prayer and practice are working to make the contri- bution which we instinctively expect from Christianity and Democracy. "For while the tired waves, vainly beating, Seem here no painful inch to gain Far back, through creeks and inlets making, Comes silent, flooding in the main." (Clough) Edward W. Blakeman Counselor in Religious Education Old Mr. Shaw George Bernard Shaw's housekeeper was kept on the 'phone the other morning denying some- one's rumor that the 88 year old Irish termagant had died during the night. Obviously, this oc- casion called for some transcendent witticism. Never was Mr. Shaw caught unready. "Just tell them," he quipped, "that it's exaggerated." All of which goes to show that Mr. Shaw is as old as old Sam Clemens, or else still young enough to crib a gag from him. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch On Second Thought... By RAY DIXON The Reds start rollin', the Nazis are done with Ardennes and in the Philippines the Japs are Luzon' ground. All of which should dispense with the gloom accumulated over the holiday season. Invading Yankees landed so fast on the Lin- gayen bay window that the Japs didn't have a fat chance. Germany starts a big drive to get more clothes for its freezing millions. Meanwhile the Yanks continue clothing in on them. Weather Man's Slogan: I came, I thaw, I froze up again. turn off its valuable refrigeration equipment and take in dried beans, anything to keep operating. However, a lot of warehouses don't want to handle government eggs because they deteriorate and spoil other foods in the ware- house. In addition to being unable to get freez- ing temperature, WFA had to build a new ice plant at the cave, in order to provide ice for shipping. Since the plant capacity was not large enough for summer shipping, a huge ice storage house also had to be built. And the Missouri Pacific Railroad had to construct sev- eral miles of new road to get trains to the cave. (Copyright, 1945, by the Bell Syndicate. Inc.) Dominic Says There taas been a gr-eat deal of talk and literature circulating to the effect that the German people are either inherently militaristic or the opposite, a peace-loving people that goes to war only when forced by oth- er nations to do so. The basis for most of the thought on this subject has been purely theoretical. I believe that few of us have, even bothered to read a book describing conditions in Germany in the twenty-five-year period between the two world wars. It is with this belief in mind that we present the following excerpts from "The German Soldier," pre- pared by Capt. Arthur Goodfriend and issued by the editors of The In- fantry Journal. "The German Army took a terrible shellacking in the autumn of 1918. The cemeteries of France and Flan- ders and Russia were filled with Ger- man dead - 1,800,000 of them. These men had been through hell. They had had victory in their grip, only to see it trickle away. They had faced Belgians, French, Russians, Italians and British troops. Finally Americans came all the way from the New World to help hand them a knockout punch. "They went back to Germany where for many years their defeat kept haunting them. They went through a period when their money was worth nothing. They had riots and unem- ployment. For a while they paid money and goods to the Allies. Suf- fering and sadness were the lot of all. "Leaders of other nations thought that this beaten crew would never rise again. But they were wrong. "The ghosts of Frederick the Great and Bismarck were still Pedestrians Every once in awhile, somebody proposes an ordinance for pedestrian control in St. Louis. Next time that comes up, it will be well to remember Toronto's recent experience. Its law had every possible safe- guard for promoting the safety of pedestrians. Not only the anti-jay- walking provision, favorite proposal of St. Louis reformers, but also pen- alties for pedestrians passing each other on the left and running after streetcars, not to mention fines for juvenile bicycle riders who took their feet off the pedals. The Councilmen seemed to have thought of all exist- ing hazards, and some imaginary ones. This elaborate set-up lasted just five days. It was repealed because it couldn't be enforced. Let that be a lesson to St. Louis. -St. Louis Post-Dispatch alive. All they needed was a new generation of men to work on, and new leaders to take the place of the old. The martial spirit never died. Each year the Stahlhelm, 'Steel Helmets', German veterans' groups, and the Free Corps, kept the military spirit burning. 'These men marched past their regimental standards with heads erect. These men, the professional soldiers and later the Nazis fostered the legend that the German Army had never really lost the war - that it had, instead, been 'stabbed in the back'. "Out of the ranks of these defeated men stepped an unknown corporal. His name was Adolf Hitler. "In 1920 Germany organized the 100,000-man Reichswehr. The Treaty of Versailles gave them that much lee-way - a national police force of 100,000 men. The framers of the Treaty probably figured that 100,000 men could do no damage. They didn't realize that as long as Germans had uniforms and drums, their desire for conquest and re- venge ,would never die. And an army of 100,000 men, carefully se- lected and thoroughly trained, was practically an officer candidate school. "The 100,000 men of the, Reichs- wehr drilled and studied. The idea was already there, in 1920, in the minds of German military leaders that some totally new plan, avoiding the mistakes of World War I would some day bring victory, if the mili- tary strength of the nation could also be built up secretly. "As early as 1923 German young- sters were banded together in clubs. Kids barely out of their diapers were togged out in brown shirts, black shoes, a trench cap, and the brown shirt with red, white and black swas- tika armband which symbolized their faith in Hitler. Each received a Leistungbuch, an efficiencybook which recorded his attendance at meetings, his physical and political development and his participation in party activities. When school was over these boys went to work for the Party, running errands, standing guard, recruiting, and anything else the Party officials dreamed up for kids to do. On weekends there were even tactical exercises, scaled down of course to the abilities of young- sters not yet able to read, write or do arithmetic. But old enough to be sold a bill of goods on German domi- nation of the world." -Arthur J.

I) DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN common Ideals REFERRING to the Atlantic Charter, Presi- dent Roosevelt, in his message to Congress, said "It is an essential thing-to have principles toward which we can strive ... " This sage ad- vice must guide us through the hard years of fighting and peace formulation. For without ends, aims, principles, ideals-call them what you will-we can easily lose heart in our task of maintaining peace in a world wrought with con- timued conflict. Many persons feel that ideals are imprac- tical, useless. They are rationalizing. Their at- titude is grounded in a fear of obstacles- obstacles which must be surmounted before principles can gain ascendency. Persons hav- ing this fear are cynical and discouraged. They are willing to accept the world as it is, for better or for worse. Submission to present con- ditions seems, to them, to be the easiest course to follow because striving for an end threatens the stigma of defeat. The cynics say, therefore, that international cooperation is 'impossible, the idea of a better world fantastic and universal peace a myth. Without conscience, they play the game of power politics. They see the widespread deprivation 3aused by economic oppression and they sit back. I'hey are complacent until another World War forces them to the battlefront. SUNDAY, JAN. 14, 1945 VOL.
