Pourth Avenue Bldg., Se OUR ROLE l‘\ WORLD AFFAIRS There is a large group of professional critics in the United States which harps constantly on the theme that Americans are babes in the woods of inter- national diplemacy, political exchange and economic bartering. They declare we are eternally and variably outsmarted by representatives of foreign pow- ers. At the beginning of the war these same critics insisted that this country would be overrun by spies, and that our own counterespionage would be amateur- ish and futile. It turns out now that not a single major Nazi agent working in this country went neglected. In all, 61 bigwigs, trained in the painstaking German fashion, have been locked up by 4. Edgar Hoover’s FBI. Some of these men—and women—put in a few reports to Hitler before they were arrested, but it is significant that none of them was able to impede seriously the §15.00; six months, in advance, $7.50; | in- foor Ibesl weren't able to outwit our own local lads. The same is true, it seems to us, in other inter- nAlimml fields. To those who say Americans are inept ‘m world economics, we point to the position we now | command in global trade—a position which will be | tremendously advanced after the war due to the lend- lease program. To those who insists that our military men are novices, we point to the strategy of North | Africa, Fr , the Central and Southwest Pacific ‘VV" are confident that Potsdam will prove Mr. Truman las able a negotiator as Mr. Churchill, Mr. Bevin or Josef Stalin. o The acme of foolishness, it seems to us, is to |argue that a nation which has progressed as far as the United States in so short a time has been eternally | outwitted by competitor nations. We have progressed because the democratic system on the whole has | chosen wise leaders; because the democratic system __|on the whole produces the types of mentality which make the keenest leadership. Eliminate*Them! | (Cincinnati Enquirer) Unless we are to scorn the very meaning of the word crime, the political and military leaders of the Third Reich are guilty of the most heinous crime |ever recorded on the scroll of civilization. And ‘\lll]l’\s they, every one, are tried and punished in a | manner commensurate with the awful pain and damage they have caused the other peoples of the | world, we might as well rip up and scatter to the | winds the criminal codes by which we strive to main- | tain respect for law and order in our own lands. For, {1( there is to be justice anywhere, it must not palsy | at the feet of the greatest criminals of them all. | Deliberately and with full malice aforethought, | the German General Staff and the scurvy crew that |headed the Third Reich doomed millions of men, women and children to die. As unconcernedly as one would season an egg, they mapped a pattern of | European destruction that spared nothing in the path of their ambitions. The Enquirer has said that the German General | Staff should be executed, because it has proved itself to be too dangerous a threat to the peace and well being of the world to remain alive. Had all the | professional war makers with spiked helmets been executed after World War I, it might have saved the ’\wrld this terrible calamity. We learned, at a fearful price, that the German General Staff hardly paused in its planning for war after the last armistice. To | what consideration are these scientists at murder |entitled from a world that wants to live in peace and comfort, and twice within a generation has had to pay so dearly in lives and wealth to avert enslave- ment behind the German war chariot? None, we say. And we think every American family that has contributed its flesh and blood to the American war effort. In ferreting out the German spies in this ocuntry, ! the FBI went up against the best to offer. Espionage has been developed carefully and long by the Prussian military clique. grim task of halting German aggression will agree. | Let the war trials begin immediately. And let them rproceed in full cognizance of the millions already | murdered on the altar of German military ambition —and the millions more who will be murdered in years to come if we shrink from our civilized duty that Europe had If there were better spies, the Germam had them.
