SAME OLD STUFF ‘There have been indications that the American Communists are preparing the ground for another | reversal of their party line. This will not be hard for | them to do, for they are totally lacking in integrity and devoid of any sense of loyalty to the United States. This new about-face on the part of our domestic | Communists is foreshadowed in an attack on Earl| Browder, American Communist leader, ential French Communist, Jacques Duclos. by the influ- says that Browder has “swerved dangerously from the | victorious Marxist-Leninist doctrine.” This reiex's. presumably, to the creation of the Communist Political | Association as a substitute for the oid Communist party after the American Commur port this country’s war against the Axis. Mr. Browder, wheeling obediently into line, says that the Duclos statement “demands our most respectful considera- tion,” which probably means that our Communists will soon be back in the old business of throwing mnnkey wrenches. Browder, his fellow Communists, and those who trail along in their wake have had an imerestmgl record during the past decade. Before the European war they were busily engaged in stirring up trouble wherever opportunity offered and in worming their | way into key spots in American unions. Then came that fascinating period—before Hitler attacked Russia —when they were shouting from the housetops that the war with Germany was an imperialistic war, and that, despite the efforts of the late President Roose- velt and Wall Street to drag us into it, “the Yanks | were not coming.” When H\Ller tore up the hon-: aggresslon pact with \transmxtml of the The Washmgton Editor and Manager | er | The latter | s decided to sup- | ’smun and marched intg Russia, Browder and his crew promptly c¢hanged their tune. It cedsed to be an imperialistic. war and became a struggle of the com- moh man &gainst the darkest forces of evil, The cry |that the Yanks were not coming gave way to the Ishrill complaint that they were not coming fast lenough. Instead of Communist-inspired strikes in our | war plants, the emphasis was on more and more | production, and the record of the Communist-controled {unions in this respect was flawless. But now the war in Europe is over. There is no longer a Nazi menace, and no further need for the unnatural alliance with American capitalism. So the | Communists of the Browder stamp are swinging back old moorings. to their ! In itself, this need cause no great concern. Be- cause of their influential position in the American Labor party, the Communists may stir up some political |trouble in States like New York. And they will try, though probably with little success, to drive a wedge between the United States and Britain, and they | may attempt later on to undermine the Truman ad- | ministration. But they will not get far with this, for I‘mr American people will know that they are working {against, and not for, America. Why ot l\lll Them? (Cincinnati Enquirer) | Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Montgomery says | that Germany's General Staff must be broken up and | confined in camps outside the Reich, That, we think, |is a very necessary phase of the total disarmament of zNazl Germany. Imprisonment in exile is the very |least that should happen to the Junkers Generals— land a good deal more should happen. The Versailles Treaty—executed just 26 years ago particularized that the Greater German General | Staff and all similar organizations were to be dissolved ‘nnd were not to be reconstituted in any form. As a | matter of fact, the General Staff was never dissolved. Even before the Versailles Treaty was signed, the | General Staff was carrying out a plan to serve as a | nucleus for another and greater German Army. Army records and data were not destroyed or surrendered, they merely were hidden until the end of the Allied occupation. Then began the actual planning for a | military rebirth of the German state. It was a scheme | carried out with great shrewdness — although the (laxity of the Allies put no particular premium on shrewdness. The German General Staff now, as always, is the hard core of Prussian militarism. The men who con- | stitute it and surround it are men to whom military aggression is a profession, a religion, a life’s work. It would be fantastic to suppose that any of these men |are capable of reclamation. They are a cult that would as soon die as live without military purpose. | Defeat does not abash them, it only represents a | delay which must be tolerated before “Der Tag” can finally be achieved. For centuries they and their| | lineal predecessors have schemed and planned endless- ly for war and victory, and that alone. By rights, all of these men should be executed | with as little fanfare as possible, not so much in| | judgment of the harm they have caused the world, | but in the spirit that a person would dispose of a | nest of copperhead snakes. If we are to have peace | for many years to come there is no reason for the | Junkers Generals to live anyhow, and as long as they ‘lne they will be scheming in one to resurrect their program of conquest. k If the General Staff is broken up and exiled under | close guard it may suffice, but it is a risky business. The safest, most proper thing to do is shoot them all now. newest American ' shortly before he stepped out of models as well as for the insight|office, extended 2nd class mailing | Democvat of Grosse Point Park,| | into American production and sales privileges, which in this case is the | Mich., manner or another | Merry - Go- Round (Continued from Page One) needed foreign raw materials were obtained through the American | company (rubber, non-ferrous metals) to cover the production needs of the German plant and above that, in part, for the whole industry., (This would imply that the whole German auto industry was partly supplied through Ford | channels before Pearl Harbor.) “Already during the peace the American influence had been more or less converted into a supporting position for the German plant,” Dr. Albert continued. “During the -capital increase made in the beginning of 1941 the question of a Germanization of the capital had been discussed with the (Nazi) authorities concerned whioh led to the reduction to 52 per cent of the American majority. “Among the reasons speaking against a complete Germanization of the capital, the first one is the excellent sales organization which, thanks to its connection with the Americany company, is at the dis- posal of' the German Ford-Werke A.

At this point, Florida’s Hendricks interject- ed his rancor. “I suppose you're taking your orders from Mr. Marcantonio,”| Hendricks said, referring to Ameri- can-Labor Congressman Vito Mar- cantonio of New York, whose name is anathema to poll tax Congress- men. “My decisions are made on the | basis of what I consider to be for [the good of the country,” Rabaut shot bgck. “I take orders from no one.
