I Unwanted Children V -V
j- One problem in connection with after-war
Germany which is already causing heads to be
! scratched in Washington, London, and Moscow
"! is what to do with the thousands and thousands
' of small German children which have been
born in recent years as a part of the third reich's
' calculated plan for raising another crop of sol
diers for 20 years hence.
Most of these youngsters, -although by no
i means all, have been born out of wedlock. The
boys, as future soldiers of the reich,' have been
reared directly by the German state in large
' orphanages, or by the father himself. The
mother, in either case, is disregarded. Girls,
' however, do not receive state upbringing or
state subsidies, and are left for the mother to
rear' as best she can. - i
The primary consideration in bringing up
-the boys, however, is to see that they are deeply
indoctrinated in the nazi faith from the first
; faltering word and goose-step. The orphanages
: are nothing more than great state training
schools where the master-race and Aryan su
premacy, doctrines of the nazis are carefully
, implanted on minds' far too young to ever dis
' criminate for themselves. If left in their pre
sent form, such schools would in due course
x turnout a crop of helots passionately con
vinced of the perfect justice and desirability
v ' of the nazi rule of terror and exploitation. Even
the girls would know that their duty lay in
1 only one direction--the provision of even more
soldiers for the armies of the next generation.
I Obviously, the dissolution of such schools
must be assured by the allies as part of the
; necessary program of re-education in Germany.
, " But something must be done about the children
themselves, mostly motherless, many unable
even to say the name of their fathers. There
is a very present danger that in the surge of
revulsion -which will probably; accompany the
fall of the nazi edifice, .these children will be
even more abandoned than at present, since
even their non-assertive parents may desire to
forget them as, a reminder of the debauched
. days of nazi birth-politics. !
One suggestion has been that the children
should be taken into the homes of other na
tions in Europe and perhaps in this country
and reared in an atmosphere totally different
from that of even postwar Germany; which will
doubtless remain deeply marked by naziism
for some time. The objection hitherto presented
to this has been that no French family, say,
which has suffered the absence of loved ones
in German prison, camps, or the execution of
others as hostage
----,t)'ttfTectioraehild of the erstwhile mas-
i ter race, lio child reared in such an atmosphere
X would havt a particularly good chance of a
I pleasant youth; and there is not much in making
the children pay fortheir elders' sins. ;
The better solution is probably to continue
the orphanages as they are but to alter the
educational program basically and radically to
' conform to the school curricula in . democratic
countries. Undoubtedly the children themselves
will have to remain wards of the German state,
whatever that may be; and at best their future
is none too gaudy. Certainly .they will be better
off, however than the legions of Russian chil
dren who ran homeless and wild in the cities
of that country in the years immediately follow
ing the 1917 revolution, and who had neither
food nor bed, much less education or affection.
But if their childhood and youth are, at best,
; sadly warped, and their future is never very
bright, it is simply one more crime which can
be attached to the burdens already borne , by
the nazi party and its inhuman protagonists.
resorted to after political medicine has failed
to effect a cure. ? - v. t -
Political medicine failed- in -1939 and there
was resort to political surgery jjButmow we see
rather clearly why political medicine failed. It")
failed in Italy and Germany because the patient
refused to take it. Italians and Germans were j
"not interested in politics." More apparent 'X
every day now, is the fate to Which their dis- '
interest led them. As for, the Japanese, they
didn't even have reliable physicians on hand ;
to prescribe good medicine.
Elsewhere, in the democracies, political med- I
icine was more successful; the failure was in
not recognizing that the political sickness pre
valent in continental Europe and in east Asia'
was highly communicable. Remember when
President Roosevelt spoke dramatically of
."quarantining" it? He should have advocated
vaccination. At any rate,! our failure was in let
ting , the sickness spread-when a minor oper
ation here and there might have stopped it.
Now the major operation is hearing a climax
and may within a reasonable time be over. If
the patient doesn't die there will be a long
period of convalescence in which medicine
good, carefully prescribed medicine will be
necessary. j ' M "'; v--: : i X

The War Wens
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON

i London reports suggest an impending significant
change in allied pre-inyasibn technique that could
be the curtain raiser for the final air action to open
up continental beachheads for sea-borne Anglo
American, troops.
British- night-flying heavy bombers laid off for
the first time in the non-stop assault and Ameri-'
can weight carriers shifted their daylight opera
tions from strategic to tactical targets. They were
just over the channel from their bases in Britain,
beating at ; invasion coast targets in the Calais
. erea. ; : ' ". :';Y ; . :-"- . :
.- Weather conditions could account for what seemed
partial lull on the 19th consecutive day of the
pre-invasion barrage. There was no hint or storms
or baffling clouds over more distant nazi targets,
however, and jthe relative lull in long range oper-,
ations from Britain 'could have quite Another sig
nificance. It could mark a regrouping ond re-,
equipment of planes for the mass air attack in'
support of ground troops stabbing into the German

WASHINGTON, May S General MacArthur ;
fooled the Japs completely before, moving into
Hollandia and Aitape. " ff; . v:
They observed our ships steaming up the Newj
Guinea coast from Lae and- Salamaua, and natur- '
ally concluded we were to hit '
Wewak, their point nearest to
us. By every trick possible, ?
MacArthur encouraged that im-
pression.'
1 Thei Japs hastily assembling ;
most of their Jorce around Hoi- f
landia (probablyabbut two di
'Visions) rushed them to We- 1
wak, whereupon MacArthur by- '
' passed them,' proceeded along ;
the coast and took Hollandia
Paul MaUon. - without much resistance. ; j
The weakened Jap garrison there had no inclin-
ation for a last ditch, death-loving fight Frankly,
they fled to the hills.
The bulk of the Jap force lured into Wewak will
face the kind of starvation-depletion fighting that ;
has come to characterize the whole South Pacific"
war strategy, even the island-hopping part of it. X
That mode of warfare works like chess. You
push fingers swiftly outitoward objectives in the
rear of the Jap frontal positions, either dot-atolls f
or mainland bases. " fii : .1 . .
The Japs still hold islands within sight of long
conquered ' Guadalcanal, lor instance, and several i
Marshall islands eastward of our advanced posi
tions on Eniwetok and IKwajalein. So the Japs
are always ux the rear of our lines, and we of
theirs. :'";.VI. -f'-'vl
But we have the air and sea power, and this we
use to starve the by-passed Japs. The Jap-held -MarshaU
islands of Jaluit, Mill, Wotje, etc, as 1
well as the ones off Guadalcanal, are swept almost '
daily by our air bombing. j :
No surface ships can easily get in to bring them'
supplies. They have no planes at these points gen- j
erally, and the only safe avenue of supplies for
them is by submarine. Not much ammunition or
food can be brought. in that way.
Our advanced bases thereafter are strengthened-
1 with plane 7 runways and suitable ship facilities 1
for the next by-passing jump.'. j
Already our new holdings at Hollandia and in
the Marshalls and on New Britain give us an air
sweep (but not air control) over a vast arc reach- i
ing the southernmost Fhilippine islands, all the
Carolines (including Truk) and even the base of)
the Marianas (Yap, Saipan) which are the last;
island outposts to be hopped south of the Japan- ,
ese mainland. . " f. .v: j.
No place In this area can be used as a Jap Pearl
Harbor, not "even Truk,.;' which we have already
bombed 32 times, and thus have reduced to a sec-!
ondary outpost Most of me1 important Jap holdings,
ap" airfields, not naval bases (three at Truk, for
'Instance). . ft
' Perhaps this explains why the Japs so seldom
these days exhibit a desire for death in the last
ditch of futile resistance.
A.
No general movement; of nazi; troops from the
east to the western front to meet us has yet been
observed. True enough, the battleline Is only about j
half as long as last year, and the enormous Rus
sian claims on captured men and material is nearly
overywhere conceded to be of little benefit as mili
tary information, although they may be good pro
paganda. ' :
But both the numbers and equipment of Russian
troops on the fighting front have been constantly
increasing. It would be imprudent for the Germans
to withdraw any large numbers of divisions and
switch the emphasis of -their fighting effort pri
marily against us. t -t x .
As a matter of fact, their recent reinforcements
in Italy, the Balkans, and along the northwest coast
seem to have come entirely from reserves held in
Germany, Czechoslovakia, - Austria, and Poland.
Some Swedish reports say 15 divisions were used
in policing occupied Russiav suggesting these are
Atlantic wall defenses under cover of a giant air now available against us. That is no doubt what

Baldock Wires
For Go-Ahead
On Road Jobs
State highway engineer R. H.
Baldock Wednesday sent telegrams
to Oregon's delegation in congress
urging them to confer with the
war production board in an effort
its obtain a favorable decision on
the proposal of the highway com
mission to immediately start , im
provement of three sections -of
the Pacific highway at a cost of
$2,500,000. -The
proposed improvements in
volve the Salem-Jefferson, Harris -
burg and Grave Creek -Wolf
Creek sections ot the highway.
Information received here from
Washington, D.CX indicated that
the war production board recently
rejected similar highway improve
ments -in the state of Washington
on the ground that' men suitable
for highway construction opera
tions were required in war industries.
There also is a possibility, Bal
dock said, that the congressional
delegations of Oregon,- Washing
ton and California, would appear
jointly before the war; production
board j Plans for the Oregon high
way improvement already have
been completed. ; -
Baldock said a recent survey
Indicated that awarding of con
tracts for the three improvements
on the Pacific highway in Oregon
would not interfere with essential
war industries or I increase the
seriousness of the manpower sit
uation. ' :;-:.'. " ; .'
The Salem - Jefferson - section ,
improvement includes construction
of a bridge to cost $300,000. . , v
