Educati Germany
N HIS ARTICLE, "Another Prescription for
Post-War Germany," which appears in the
latest addition of the Quarterly Review, Prof.-
Emeritus George E. Myers proposes a re-educa-
tion of Germany by respected German leaders,
an education based upon a positive and con-
structive program focusing on "building under-
standing, tolerance, good will, and a co-opera-
tive attitude rather than on-breaking down the
master race' obsession directly."
It is his hope that a constructive plan of
re-educating the Germans will, in time, lead
to a dissolution of the concept of "herren-
volk"-the master race. When such a disso-
lution takes place, Germany can again resume
her place in a world of "peace-loving" nations.
I do not know whether or not Prof. Myers
believes that such a self-restoration of Germany
to the family of so-called "peace-loving" nations
will result in the elimination of the majorob-
struction to world peace. There are many per-
sons among the ranks of authorities on problems
of education, however, who do believe that war
will disappear with the re-establishment of a
peaceful Germany. Those who hold this view
assume that the fundamental cause of warfare
is adherence by aggressors to some warlike
morality, such as that of Nietzsche's "will to
power", so conveniently misconstrued by the
Nazi leaders to fit their "herrenvolk" philosophy.
The German people, they further believe, are
the only advocates of such a warlike philosophy.
According to their calculations, and to those
who propose the mass destruction of all Ger-
mans, war would disappear with the elimination
of the evil German morality or, in the 'latter
case, the German people.
In the seclusion of the ivory tower, the
champions of education-as-a-panacea-for-all-
social evils, neatly forget that the basic causes
for war and other social evils are not moral,
but economic. Moral justification Vor war
follows only after lack of economic stability
has established itself as the cause. If every-
one on earth, or since people act in political
groups, if every nation on earth were guaran-
teed freedom from want for all its inhabitants
(to quote Franklin Roosevelt), then, and only
then, will war disappear and the hopes of
attainment - of a brotherhood of man be
realized.
So we see, the problem of war is international
in scope; every nation is a potential threat to
peace. Education toward liberality of mind.
(Germany was once a center of liberal thought),
unless occurring in an economically stable
world, is of , doubtful and certainly negligible
value toward securing peace.
- Arthur J. Kraft
Reconstruction
THE SITUATION in the reconquered Philip-
pines presents a tremendous problem of re-
construction. For three years the islands' six-
teen million people have not had enough to eat.
Imports, upon which they depended for fifteen
per cent of their food in peacetime, were cut off.
Part of the small crops the Filipinos were able
to raise was exported to the Japanese main-
land or used to feed Jap garrisons in the Philip-
pines. As the Japs retreated they set fire
to remaining crops. As a result, thousands
of Filipinos are- no* without homes or food or
seed for. new crops. Not only in Manila but all
through the islands immediate assistance is
needed.
The New York Times proposes that, at least
for a few weeks, shipments of reconstruction
material and seed and food be given top pri-
ority space over war material. It sounds like
By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON - Uncensored diplomatic dis-
patches from the eastern front now reveal
several significant reasons for the Red Army's
success in the drive on Berlin.
These advices disclose that the German High
Command and Adolph Hitler have had another
serious battle over German strategy. The Fuehr-
er's famous "intuition" led him to order an all-
out defense of untenable East Prussia and every
inch of the German homeland. Hitler argued
that his troops would fight more valiantly at the
very gates of the fatherland.
So he over-ruled Marshal Guderian, German
commander-in-chief on the eastern front, who
wanted to defend a line running from Danzig in
the north to Poznan and Breslau. This would
have meant giving up East Prussia to the Red
Army in a planned Nazi retreat.
However, Hitler wanted to defend East Prus-
sia, home of the Nazi Junkers, and repeatedly
argued that the loss of East Prussia would be
a death blow to German morale. As usual,
the Nazis and the German military compro-
mised, with the result that the Russians have
been able to smash to the gates of Berlin in a
series of lightning-like blows.
Hitler's Blood Purge,.
ANOTHER important explanation for the Red
Army's success is the German blood purge of
July, 1944, following the attempt on Hitler's life.
At that time, more than 100 important German
military tacticians and technicians-the men
who had successfully stalled off the Red Army
during the battle of Poland-were executed by
Hitler. Hitler then appointed Marshal Guderian,
a competent tank expert and a moderately good
administrator, as commander-in-chief in the
east. But Guderian did not have the experience
which some of his purged predecessors had
gained the hard way in fighting the Red Army.
These chickens have now come home to roost.
Although the Russians are fighting some 2,500
miles from their main supply base in the Ural
Mountains, east of Moscow, they have not run
into any severe supply problems, despite terrible
weather and strange terrain. One reason is that
Stalin waited until the last possible moment be-
fore launching his offensive. When the Red Army
drive began, every piece of equipment was in
place.
Although Red Army dispatches didn't say
much about it, Stalin also hurled a terrific
amount of air power into the opening phases
of his offensive, has managed to use the Red
Air Force most of the time throughout the
drive. The Red Air arm flew as many as 12,000
sorties a day during the opening phase of the
offensive, has managed to strike several thou-
sand times daily since.
Secret Red Weapons ..
HIlE Russians are also way ahead of both the
United States and Great Britain in the use
of rocket guns, have employed them with deva-
stating effect in the lightning drive through Po-
land, and particularly in the offensive against
the Nazis in East Prussia.
One new and very important weapon which
Stalin unveiled in the new drive is the 100-ton
tank named after himself. The Stalin tank is
superior to the German Royal Tiger tank, and
our own Sherman heav tank. It carries a 4.8-
inch gun as against the 3-inch gun carried on
our Sherman. So long as the ground remains
hard, the Stalin tank is capable of resisting
any but the largest point-blank German shells.
On the other hand, the mobile gun on the
Stalin tank can pierce most of the German
secondary fortifications so far encountered by
the Russians.
Under the IDine ...
OPA nerves are still sensitive over cancellation
of the extra red and blue points accumulated
by housewives just after Christmas. It never
leaked out at the time, but Ivan Burdick in
charge of the food rationing division, resigned in
protest. He felt the OPA was breaking faith with
the housewives in canceling the points . . .
Higher-ups inside the OPA including Justice
Byrnes office, argued that there was simply not
sufficient meat available and points would have
to be cancelled . . Friends of Henry Wallace
were slightly miffed over the fact that Senator
Wagner of New York was not on hand to help in
the Senate fight for his confirmation. When Wag-
ner faced a tough battle for re-election last fall,
Wallace went into the state and campaigned per-
sonally for the Senator. Wagner was paired with
Senator Red of Kansas when the vote on Wallace
came up so his vote counted, but he was not
present in Washington to help . . . Lecturer Don
Bolt put in eight long-distance calls to the Army
and Navy offering to give orientation lectures at
the Army and Navy hospitals free. He had al-
ready done a swell job for veterans in various
Texas hospitals. But the Army and Navy didn't
even bother to call him back.
LON SECOND
By Ray Dixon
Over-Age Servicemen . .
GREATEST hardship on men in the Army
probably is with enlisted men over 38, now too
old to become officers but who can't resign as
officers can.
Typical case of how this hardship works is
that of Corporal Alexander C. Sioris, age 45,
who has served in the Army three years, most
of the time overseas. Cpl. Sioris is not only a
college graduate, but holds a doctor's degree.
Twice he was recommended for Officers'
Training School, but each time his unit moved
overseas and he had to sail with his unit. Now
he is too old to be commissioned, too old for
combat, yet under present Army rules must
be kept on--doing menial jobs.
There are thousands of similar cases. What
the Army needs is a good overhauling of its man-
power, especially of older men who have been in
the Army a long time.
Chinese Labor Puzzles . . .
FOR a long time foreign labor groups have had
trouble understanding the bitter feud between
the American Federation of Labor and the CIO.
Now, however, U. S. labor leaders are experienc-
ing the same headache with rival Chinese labor
groups, in which two famous Chinese sisters are
also involved.
One is Madame Sun-Yet-Sen, widow of the
famous founder of the Chinese Republic, who has
been urging American labor leaders to support
the equivalent of the China CIO. The other sis-
ter is Madame Chiang Kai-Shek, wife of China's
Generalissimo.

liominie Says
("RANTED that morality must obtain, that the
r integrity of the universe has first claim on all
human behavior, and that the finding of what is
moral is a major aim in education, what has all
that to do with religion? Or granted that ethical
action is the goal of social living, what has belief
in a God and the idea of responsibility to our
fellows to do with it? Such questions should en-
gage every university student. If you are in engi-
neering, this is the way the issue is phrased: Can
I violate the law of mathematics and get away
with it in construction? Since I cannot violate
the exactness of mathematics and have the con-
struction good, might I not learn that integrity
from religion's "Love God and treat man as
brother"? In business affairs, since production,
distribution and consumption are for persons not
merely for me, might I not learn the basic eco-
nomic law from religion's "Whatsoever ye would
that others should do to you, do ye also to them?"
The strange contradictions dramatized by
Wilder in "By the Skin of Your Teeth" may be
too subtle for many an auditor just because he
has never learned the primer lessons on this
universe at mother's knee or in Sunday School.
It is this integrity which must prevail among
persons who have a measure of freedom as
certainly as it prevails inrthe basic law of the
universe itself. Now, there is a fierce debate
always going on in religion as to how to make
religiousness universal. First there is a differ-
ence as to the goal of religious education. One
view makes religion an end, the opposite makes
it a means.
Allow us to make certain that we have religion
itself in mind. We mean man's consciousness of
being bound back to all origins, or God. It means
that as God or this universe loves His (or its)
most highly developed result, Man, so man comes
to love God. That is religion, not all of it, but
in essence that is what religion is. Now those
who treat religiousness as an end, labor to make
converts, to get men committed to a creedal
statement or to take men out of the world and
receive them into the church, presumably the
home of the redeemed. To make certain that
that church is always the home of integrity, is
often neglected. Transparency of action, such as
that of Barnabas or Assize and other saints, may
receive only incidental attention just because the
end in view is religion for its own sake. Evan-
gelicals, generally, unlike the critical scholars
who claim that the Gospel must animate democ-
racy if we are to arrive at a secure freedom, are
getting men, saved out of and away from world
situations and trying to bypass all ethical and
social problems. Extremists even say if you be-
lieved you would leave reform to the Deity.
On the other hand, those who accept re-
ligiousness as a means not an end in itself,
insist that to fully worship God men must
practice justice toward fellow men. This view
leads a man to keep his eye on the far away
Kingdom of God on the earth, when that type
of behavior or integrity shall prevail every-
where and be preferred by all persons as surely
as the stars. You see, this thrusts each of us
up against such disconcerting problems as car-
tels and government, labor-and production, full
employment and markets, access to raw ma-
terials on the part of all of God's sons, milk,
health and education for all children and gen-
eral family stabilization in every country. For
this view religion is not primarily a way of life
but an adequate dynamic. Well, here is one
reason why we maintain that if in our decade
you expect to be educated you must be religious.

Last Effort
The German high command has at
long last decided to treat its Rus-
sian prisoners of war a little less like
dogs, the reports relayed from Stock-
holm by Nat A. Barrows indicate.
A confidential circular has been
sent to all prison camps forbidding
guards to strike Russian prisoners.
Marshal Stalin and his aids have
made no bones about their plan to
take millions of Germans to Rus-
sia to rebuild devastated areas.
Maybe this is a last-second effort
to temper the bitter Russian mem-
ories of the way their prisoners of
war have been abused.
