Political Activty
HE RISE of distinct leftist elements in Ger-
many has been fostered by the Soviet high
command while the Americans and the Brit-
ish have prohibited any political activity in their
regions of control.
This would seem to indicate that the Russians
are interested in fostering progressivism through-
out Europe. They have favored Communists in
Germany, the anti-Communists elements have
claimed, by allowing them to use automobiles
in Berlin while other parties in Germany have
had no means of transportation. The Russians
also have stipulated that all parties in Germany
must be anti-Fascist and must advocate Democ-
racy.
The Americans and the British, on the other
hand, have, up to the present, prohbited any
trade union or party from organizing in their
spheres of control. Whether these two countries
really fear Russian influene or whether they fear
a dangerous post-war reaction in Germany re-
mains to be seen.
It is likely that the "Big Three" are guard-
ing against the rise of anotler Fascist dictator-
ship in the Reich: But, according to Russia's
policy, all Germans presumably are being en-
eouraged to conform to one political ideal.
Under the policy of Great Britain and the
United States, Germans are forced to remain
politically inactive. Therefore, by suppress-
ing the potential forces in Germany which
may lead to formation of a democracy, these
countries are encouraging fascism.
Fascism arises when a people are unable to
govern themselves, either because they lack
the ability or because they are deprived the
right to do so. They depend tipon a strong
leader who can guarantee their security and
satisfy their desires. In turn, the people sacri-
fiee their political freedom to the dictator.
The Allied nations must, then, encourage
the development in Germany of political
groups. By experimenting with the various
institutions of self-government, the German
people can then discover what form and kind
of government will best suit their needs after
the period of occupation.

Peru Elections
THE LITTLE-NOTICED election of the Na-
tional Democratic Front candidate in Peru
brings to the fore the implications of the over-
throw of another reactionary government in
South America and emphasizes, by contrast, the
delinquency of Argentina in eliminating Ger-
man penetrations.
Dr. Jose Luis Bustamante, new Peruvian pres-
ident, has promised to abolish, as one of his
first acts, all traces of censorship and has pro-
posed many reforms. Moreover, the elections
have returned. a National Democratic majority
in both houses, which will enable the president
to enact these reforms, as The Nation pointed
out in its July 7 issue.
The election kills any ambitions which reac-
tionaries in South America had of forming a
bloc to oppose democratic movements there.
They had expected the victory of General
Ureto, a candidate of the conservative Na-
tional Union Coalition and an admitted pro-
fascist at the beginning of the war.

In that elimination of Axis elements, Peru has
pointed up the failure of Argentina to conform
to the Chapultepec agreement by substituting,
for example, friendly ownership of business en-
terprises for the present enemy control. Assist-
ant Secretary of State William L. Clayton re-

By DREW PEARSON
WASHINGTON-There is more than meets the
eye behind the appointment of Carl Moran,
ex-congressman from Maine, as new assistant
secretary of labor. It probably means a gradual
movement away from left-wing labor groups and
no more "clearing it with Sidney."
Moran is one of the early New Dealers, a
forthright," hard-hitting liberal; one of the few
Democrats ever elected td Congress from the
rock-ribbed Republican state of Maine. He
joined with GOP Senator Owen Brewster, when
the latter was governor, to fight the Insull power
interests, and he, himself, came within a close
inargin of being elected a Democratic governor
of Maine.
After two terms in Congress Moran was ap-
pointed to the Maritime Commission, got fed
up with the dictatorial methods of Admiral
Land, and went back to Maine to run his fath-
er's insurance company.
Moran is pro-labor, will fight for labor when
it is right, but will also fight against labor
when it is wrong. No one could have had a
more pro-Roosevelt record when in Congress;
but, on the other hand, Moran is one of the
closest fgriends of labor-enemy Ed Burke,
counsel for the coal operators.
The two got to know each other when Burke
was in the House and later in the Senate from
Nebraska. And John L. Lewis would have had
fits the other night if he had looked in on a
private party where the new secretary of labor,
ILew Schwellenbach, and hs new assistant sec-
retary, Carl Moran, were entertaining Ed Burke,
representative of the bituminous coal operators
and bitter enemy of the United Mine Workers.
What is bound to rile the CIO regarding
the Moran appointment is that the first assist-
ant secretary of labor is an AFL man, Dan
Tracy, and the job of second assistant secre-
tary was to have been given to a CIO man,
John Gibson of Detroit. Gibson was named
just before Roosevelt died, but his name never
went to the Senate. Now Moran gets his place.
Moran will be 'a fair and impartial supporter
of labor. But his appointment undoubtedly
means an increasing rift in the already widen-
ing gap between Hannegan and Hillman.
Note-Later Moran will be made under sec-
retary of labor, superior to Tracy, the AFL as-
sistant secretary. At that time, a CIO assistant
secretary will probably be appointed.
Eisenhower's Mother . .
SAM GOLDWYN is going about the filming of
the life of General Eisenhower almost as if
it were a religious rite. It is going to be the
saga of a small town boy, the boy from Abilene
who makes good.
One of the most important characters in the
picture will be Eisenhower's mother-a lady
whose ancestors came here from Germany via
Switzerland, just as Sam Goldwyn's mother
camhe from Poland. Mrs. Eisenhower hated
war, raised her boys to love peace, and didn't
like to see Dwight go off to West Point.
NOTE-Eisenhower, carrying out his moth-
er's ideas on peace, will devote the profits
from the fili to a foundation to further the
United Nations, while Sam Goldwyn will de-
vote his profits to a foundation to combat in-
tolerance-which leads to war.
Wrangling Over Berlin...
INSIDERS who have watched the current Amer-
ican-Russian wrangling over areas in Berlin
say there is one important lesson to be gained-
in the future we must decide these questions
while our Allies' tears are hot.
That was the advice which Wendell Willkie
once gave the late president. Referring to the
way Russia and Britain were calling on us for
aid in the early part of the war, Willkie advised
Roosevelt:
"As lawyers, you and I know that it pays to
collect your fee while your client's tears are
hot. Once their case is won, they forget. So
now is the time to get commitments from our
Allies regarding what we want after the war."
Inside fact is that it was because of bicker-
ing between U. S. agencies that arrangements
for governing Berlin were not worked out
exatly one year ago. The Russians, during
the summer of 1944, were ready to arrange

the details regarding post-war Germany. The
matter had come before the European advis-
ory committee on which Ambassador Winant
sits as U. S. representative, and at that time
-"while the tears were hot"-we could have
written pretty much our own terms.
However, the war department wanted sole
authority to handle post-war Germany. They
didn't want ambassador Winant in the picture,
nor other U. S. civilian -agencies. Things drift-
ed all during the summer, until finally Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau brought the situa-

tion to a climax by pointing out to the presi-
dent that almost nothing had been done.
The Army then called for a showdown and
stuck to its demand that it have sole author-
ity to handle Germany after the armistice.
Roosevelt concurred. But even then nothing
was done to iron things out with the Rus-
sians-and. things dragged on until Yalta,
nearly six months later.
While there's no use crying over spilt milk,
there is one lesson to be gained from this, name-
ly-settle plans for post-war Japan now, while
Truman is in Berlin, instead of waiting until
the Pacific war is over.
NOTE-Leon Henderson was one man who
foresaw what was going to happen in Germany.
When FDR sent him over with a view to becom-
ing economic czar of Germany, he came back
to report that it would be impossible to govern
Germany if it was divided into three different
areas, coal and iron in one, agriculture in an-
other, shipping in the third.

I'D RATHER BE RIGHT:
Veterans vs. Labor
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
ANUMBER of American social philosophers of
the second grade are licking their chops in
unison, and indulging in a kind of massed-
chorus drool, as they think of what the return-
ing veteran is going to do to labor.
Proposals for deliberately setting the veteran
against labor, just in case he doesn't happen
to think of it himself, are floating about Wash-
ington. One is the suggestion that returning
veterans be allowed to work in any factory, re-
gardless of union contracts, rules, seniority, or
initiation fees. These proposals are hard to
refute (which is why they are so useful to oppo-
nents of labor); they seem superficially fair,
they are concerned with giving jobs to our
fighting men, and they are charged with the
national emotion of gratitude. Yet they cry
oat for examination.
The sponsors of some of these ideas make no
secret of the fact that they look for a sensa-
tional brawl between veterans and labor. They
expect a decline in the strength of organized
labor to follow the return of the soldier. They
do not regret this, as an incidental effect of
their job problem for veterans; they welcome
it; it is, as they say in the barber shops, the
beauty part of the idea.
Thus the first point to be made in regard to
some of these proposals is that they are declara-
tions of class war. We are used to thinking
of class war as something which always origi-
nates on the labor side; but class war can origi-
nate on either side; and the gunpowder smell of
it is all over some of these suggestions.
A second point comes instantly to mind, and
that is that the real question is not whether
the veterans are going to have jobs; of course
they must have jobs; the real question is who
is going to pay for it. A fatal flaw in the
schemes sketched out above is that they call
on labor to pay for the entire job program; they
call on one class in the population to carry
the social and human cost of demobilizations.
The idea that we are going to make jobs
for veterans by putting some workers out of
work altogether is taxation with a vengeance;
it would require some Americans to give up
all of their income, every bit of it, in order
to put the soldiers to work. A fairer distribu-
tion of the after-cost of war must be at-
tempted than this crude, vaguely cannibal-
istic project.
THERE is another point: the proponents of
some of these schemes seem to be able to
set up no perspective for America except one of
social strife. Their mirrors, perhaps because
they reflect the hate in their own hearts, show
them no other possibility. They are perpetual-
ly setting up social fight-cards; they are not
interested in plans which might enable us to
get along with each other. Judge Vinson's
new "economic charter," proposing that the
government shall aid business expansion and a
high wage policy and full employment, merely
gives them a headache; they turn away from it
and refresh themselves with the thought that
soon, now, somebody is going to be awful mad

at somebody, and is going to take a job away
from somebody.
The veterans would be well-advised to go
slowly in accepting the leadership of these
prophets of a grade-B Gotterdammerung,
who after sullenly enduring unity during the
war years, have come up with the ingenious
proposal that we shall, in effect, turn the arm-
ed forces of the United States against the
people from whose loins they have sprung.

Letters to the Editor

O THE EDITOR:
It was indeed gratifying to read
your lead editorial July 12. I say
this for two reasons. First, I am a
member of the American Veterans
Committee, and as such, any atten-
tion given it in the press is indica-
tive of the scope and growth attached
to it. Secondly, and more important,
it is my aim, with the help of all vets
on campus, to form a chapter of AVC
on campus.
At yesterday's meeting of the Vet-
erans Organization, I introduced AVC
to those members present. A motion
was made, passed and recorded in
the minutes of the meeting to table
discussion on the feasibility of form-
ing a campus chapter until the fol-
lowing meeting. This means that
such a discussion becomes an integral
part of the next meeting's agenda.
The importance of vet attendance
at the next VO sitting, is crucial.
This chapter cannot be formed suc-
cessfully without backing.
It is not the purpose of those in-
terested in AVC to abolish VO. Nor
is it our purpose to synthesize both
these groups into one homogeneous
organization. It is felt, however, that
in view of the tragic depths to which
VO's membership has sunk, that some
blueprint must be made for rebuild-
ing veteran interest and activity on
this campus and in the community.
I suggested at the last meeting, that
AVC might very well be the panacea
for VO's membership ills.
You cannot hope to inject the ser-
um of enthusiasm in the arms of
men with mere social and fraternal
activities. Nor can you expect these
men to venture into a new under-
taking until you have something of
worth and tangibility to offer them.
AVC is such an outfit. It ree-
ognizes the failure of our fathers
to secure the victory of the last
war. It has seen the bungling
reactionary American Legion fail
to recognize the inanities of its
program. It has seen veterans, as
represented by the Legion, utilized

for the benefit, and the sole bene-
fit, of interests not even slightly
connected up with the interests of
the veterans themselves. AVC rec-
ognizes the mockery that the Le-
gion has made of the term "Ameri-
canism." Elsewise, how explain the
expulsion of vets of Japanese
American birth from several Legion
posts on the West Coast? No such
condition is or will be tolerated by
AVC. Men of all races and all
creeds are welcome to join us.
National Chairman Bolte believes
that one of the best fields for AVC
organization lies on the campuses of
America. He knows that the educated
vet recoghizes that his duties as a
citizen of the world are far greater
and far more important than the du-
ties of the average civilian.
It is a sad commentary that in this
great university, with several hundred
veterans in attendance, the turnout
was so slim at the last VO meeting.
The time, then, has come for us
to speak our piece as ex-service-
men. The time has come to set
up an - efficient and meaningful
group, to take a leading role in
campus affairs, to fight the "-good
fight for peace, security and free-
dom. The attendance of all vets
for this purpose at the next VO
meeting is imperative.

THE FACULTY Concert Series,
sponsored by the School of Mu-
sic, was inaugurated yesterday by the
guest appearance of the Albeneri
Trio. The excellent program, con-
sisting of Brahms, Mozart, Beetho-
ven, was enhanced by consistently
good ensemble playing. However,
acoustical difficulties did arise, since
the large auditorium was not filled to
capacity. It would have seen advis-
able to have chosen a smaller hall.
As far as independent perform-
ance is concerned, Erich Itor Kahn,
the pianist, surpassed his two col-
leagues. His style was clean, facile,
and very musical. On the other
hand, Messers. Schneider and Heif-
etz seemed to lack tonal control.
Perhaps Alexander Schneider's vio-
lin may have been the victim of
humid weather, for it was persis-
tently fiat. Moreover, Benar Ileif-
etz, the 'cellist, appeared to re-
strain his tone.
The initial composition, Brahms'
trio in C major, Op. 87, lent itself
superlatively to the well-balanced
group. Without doubt, the high-
light of the evening arrived early.
Unfortunately, the let-down came
