APPRAISAL OF EUROPE
y Italy. France, Belgium In
Good Shape; Germany Still
In Mess. Miss Mayo Reports
Why is defeated Italy a rela
tively prosperous nation without
rationing, while victorious Bri
tain is in a pitiful state? Why
does illegal money flow so freely
between Switzerland and Ger
many? Where is the loyalty of
the German "super" race since
the war?
These are only a few of the
questions to which Miss Patricia
Mayo could find no answers when
she toured Europe . last winter.
Miss) Mayo gave an interpretive
discussion of her trip at Tues
day's Kiwanis Club meeting.
She opened her talk with argu
ments in favor of touring Europe
in the winter, rather than late
spring or summer. Except for the
gardens and landscapes of the
later season, more opportunities
are pfforded in - winter, since
there are fewer tourists. Reser
cations, which require one to
travel according to schedule, are
usually not necessary during the
winter, nd one has more free
dom to Visit side points r: they
please, she said.
She also advised against at
tempting to see too many mus
eums, as there are so many one
can spend his entire time in
museums. She suggested picking
out two or three more prominent
plaees to visit, then spend the
re of the time seeing the many
other attractions.
Walk More, See More
Walk more, rather than pay
needless money for taxis which
speed one about the cities without
seeing anything, she advised.
Most cities are compact enough
so that It is possible to walk from
place to place. A small know
ledge of the languages is also a
great help in getting about.
Except for Belgium, Italy ap
pears the most prosperous nation.
She .'saw no bad slum areas, and
stores were stocked with goods.
There is no rationing in Italy.
France, too, seems quite well off.
Money in Switzerland, said Miss
Mayo, is worth five times as much
as in Germany, but one does not
have to be particularly clever to
cross the border illegally or to
take illegal money into Germany,
yet a great amount of valuable
items are being taken from the
latter country with outside
money.
No German Loyalty '
German loyalty proved to be a
myth, she declared. As soon as
the war was ended there was no
unity nor loyalty. German hospi
tal trains remained six weeks on
a siding, with improper food and
care for the wounded soldiers.
The Americans moved them into
Bavaria, richest of the provinces,
but the German people provided
nc food for the wounded. They
were looking out for themselves.
There are two thoughts on how
much to punish a defeated nation
and how, she said. It appears
obvious to many that an aggres
sor should be punished, yet the
people cannot get back on their
own feet under such burdens.
She was shocked by conditions
in Germany, which she had visit
ed before "the war. The entire
country appeared as though the
war had ended yesterday, she
stated. There was no obvious
rebuilding. The people themselves
were in a pitiable state. More
than half the population lived in
bombed areas. They had very
little medical care, and the evi
dence of the war was everywhere.
Such things as plastic "surgery
and artificial limbs are almost
unheard of there. Ugly scars
from even minor burns are seen
frequently.
What is the best method of
spreading democracy? she asked.
Hitler burned all textbooks and
substituted his own. Now the
Americans seek to destroy any
thing that contains Nazi propa
ganda. It leaves the country with
out reading or textbooks. ,
Which Course Now7
There is very little political
activity In Germany. The people
seem to take the attitude that if
they work 'for the Communists
and the West is successful, they
will lose all, or if they work for
the West and the Communists

would be the same. They appear
to be playing a waiting game.
Russian propagandists offer in
tangible love. The United States
offers dollars. Germans feel
they can get along without love
but not without dollars, and in
this respect the Marshall plan is
a success, she declared, : ,
Belgian King In Discard
She visited a wealthy Belgian
friend, who sought the returp of
King Leopold, because, he told
her, the entire social life of Bel
gium revolved around the king.
The Belgian women would want
him back, and they, voting for
the first time, would express that
choice, he declared. Miss Mayo
is wondering about his reaction
now since the unsuccessful elec
tion. She said that he received
a salary as manager of a textile
factory of about $500 monthly,
compared to top machinists pay
of $70 a month. He could see
nothing unjust in this, nor could
