Yank Overseas Paper
Ponders Postwar Plans
By MARGUERITE WITTWER
(Editor’s note: This is the concluding installment of an
article which appeared in Friday’s Emerald.)
What to do with Germany after the war? Soldiers overseas
may not be as concerned with that question as they are in
smashing Germany’s wehrmacht at the present moment, but
they do nave opinions on the sub
ject.
One of the regular columns in
Stars and Stripes, the army’s over
seas daily newspaper, is “Vox Pop
Off’’ written in the inquiring re
porter style as published in the
New York Daily News where one
question is answered by several
men. One of the recent questions
j^sked was “What shall we do with
Germany after the war?’’
The soldiers returned with the
following diversified answers: “or
ganize the German man power
into labor battalions to clean up
the messes they made in Europe”:
“the Germans look human, maybe
we can teach ’em the benefits of a
peaceful world”; “educate the Ger
man children away from Naziism”;
“I don’t believe in subjugation”;
“reinstate her as a world power”;
“disarm her completely, I for one
am tired of military crap”; “put
all Germans in custody until they
_|£arn to behave like decent peo
ple”; “see this monkey suit I’m
wearing? I wouldn’t be wearing
it if it wasn’t for the Germans.
Give them hell when we finally
kick the pants off them.”

in the behavior of British girls.
Come the answers: “Brooklyn girls
are demure and ladies, British
girls all want to get married so
they act like a bunch of female
wolves”; “British girls are picking
up lend-lease kissing knowledge”;
“anything in a skirt is OK with
me”; “I never investigated the
subject.”
A gripe column in which GIs can
air their opinions is called “B-Bag,
Blow It Out Here.” News of do
ings in Great Britain are given lit
tle attention and only played up
when it affects the American
doughboys. USO camp shows and
visiting entertainers are given ade
quate publicity.
Like the army weekly printed in
the United States and in some
places overseas, “Yank,” “Stars
and Stripes” is written from the
GI viewpoint. It is straightforward,
has wide coverage, contains a great
deal of information and entertain
ment, and is not cluttered with
civilian advertising, prissy censor
ship, and dull conventionality.

UO Professor Reviews
Postwar World Taxes
W. C. Ballaine, editor of the Oregon Business Review, and
professor of business administration, announced the beginning
of a series of articles for the magazine by O. K. Burrell, pro
fessor of business administration.
Professor Burrell's articles, the first of which appears in
the current issue of the Oregon
Business Review, concern "Pat
terns of Postwar Taxes." Subse
qent chapters will appear in fol
lowing issues.
Also in this issue of the Review
is an article by McDannell Brown,
director of the Portland OPA, on
“Reconversion Pricing Policy."
In his introduction. Professor
Burrell says: "The problem of le
employment of men and women
now in the arm and war work; the
problem of conversion of industry
to peacetime production; and the
problem of adjustment of the econ
omy to a new high level of na
tional debt, are matters of great
public concern."
He contiues: “In the decade of
the 1930s, the objective of full em
ir
ployment of men and women was
never realized.” This under-em
ployment. period was new to Am
erica. Previously, the U. S. had
experienced several depressions,
which had been relatively short.
Mr. Burrell then attempts to ex
plain the unemployment of human
and natural resources.
Concluding the introduction, Mr.
Burrell says, "The purpose of this
study, then, is to appraise the pro
posals for federal tax reform and
to explore the areas of agreement
and disagreement with a particular
view to estimating the kind of tax
structure likely to emerge in the
postwar period. Subsequent in
stallments will deal with specific
taxes included in the federal tax.
structure.”
