Germany's Alain Chance
Reports that the Big Three foreign ministers
were deadlocked- on the point of using German
manpower in a Western European defense sys
tem were discounted, but it is well known that
Britain's Bevin, as opposed to Britain's Church
ill, is extremely hesitant to rearm Germany and,
wants to stipulate minimum measures.
We submit that Bevin, in fact, that the three
foreign ministers and their, governments, are in
poor bargaining position in the delicate ques-
Hon of organizing German military units.
Western Europe needs German: manpower to
build any kind of effective defense against the
Russian Red army. The proposal by Secretary of
State Acheson is to integrate German f qrces in
to the over-all defense organization. But Ache- -jpot
and the others, can only favor German par
ticipation, urge German participation, and sug
gest the means and extent of that participation.
It is the Germans themselves .who will. say '
how and where and how much. They are in a
position toMlo so, because they are the wooed
and we an the wooers. Such is the ironic situa
tion. "'
And for a good idea of how the Germans feel
about it, we turn to an interview in a recent U.
ft. News and World Report with CoL Gen. Heinz
Guderian, former chief of staff of Hitler's army.
"Asked what he thought of so-called balanced.
West European defense forces, with each coun-
The stock market has been riding in high gear
lately, the favor turning to railroad stocks. One
reason may be that such stocks are a pretty
good cyclone cellar against excess profits taxes.
With their heavy valuations and relatively low
earning power they are not expected to be bit
as hard as the long-time favorites among in
dustrials. We trust the railroads will spend some
of their anticipated good earnings on freight
can and on better safety devices. ' 1
Electronics and Railroad Safety
The human factor was evidently the cause of
the railroad collision which cost the lives of 33
national guardsmen Monday in Ohio. The engi
neer, a man aged .63 with a good record, ad-
mitted he had failed to slow down as required
by rules when he passed the first signal. The
record showed his train had been running at 73
miles per hour and was going 50 miles an hour
at the time of the crash.
This prompts us to reiterate ouf old demand
for application of electronics for automatic slow
ing down or stopping of trains which pass warn
ing signals. Surely some systems can be devised
in connection with the present block signal sys
tem which will stop a train if the engineer'fails
, to heed the signals. While it is true that the
fate of fatal accidents is low perthousand miles
, of passenger travel we cannot be satisfied until
every feasible device is installed to reduce still
try concentrating on a different form of arm- more the death and injury rates,
ament perhaps Germany on infantry", France ; Investigations into causes of wrecks are use
on tanks, etc., all under a single international less unless they lead to safer operating, condi
tions which include closer observance of rules
and employment of automatic safety devices.
The Pennsylvania railroad, on which this sad
accident happened, ought to make a start in, the
direction of utilizing knowledge of electronics
for railroad safety.
Guderian replied:
! : "If you agree with this absurd plan, then you
' are a completely ignorant reservist from behind
the front who has not the faintest idea of strat
egic problems ... There are so many funda
mental differences in the structure, the instruc- .
tion and organization of the different. national
armies, -differences in language and mentality
of the Allied armies, that you cant mix them
in one unit ... Yon can put confederate troops
in a Joint front only as full - armored mobile
, fighting units. Thus there is no use of. arming
Germans merely with rifles ... If you want
the German in your defense of Europe, he must
la, have equal rights in every respect. No German
is willing to serve as a mercenary. (German di
visions must operate under German command
and Allied chief command."
The situation today off ers Germany her long-
awaited main chante the' ehance to become
again a powerful nation with a great army. The
Germans will jump at the chance and the Big
Three foreign ministers will have to acquiesce'
for the sake of the common security. !
The rule against having a military man as
' secretary of defense is a sound one, but an ex
: ception can be made safely in the case of Gen
eral Marshall, for he is recognized as a states
man as well as a soldier. There is precedent of
: course for appointment of a military man -to a
t cabinet post dealing with the armed services.
Y General Henry Knox, who served in the Revolu
r tionary war from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, was
secretary of war in George Washington's cabinet.
government. In the first world
war he led military forces that
wrested Germans from their Af
rican colonies, and then became
a member of the imperial war
cabinet in London. Smuts' book
"League of Nations: a Practical
Suggestion' became the basis for
the draft of the covenant of the
League of Nations. Smuts attend
ed the 1919 peace conference;
and in the interval between the
wars was twice prime minister
of South Africa. He helped to
establish the British Common
wealth of Nations and held South
Africa loyal to it. In. the second
world war he led the campaign
against dissident elements who
wished to remain neutral and
made South Africa an active par
ticipant in the war. An one who
has read "Winston Churchill's
books on the war knows how
much Churchill depended on
Smuts both for aid on matters of
policy, particularly in dealing
with other members of the Com
monwealth, and for practical mil
itary advice as well. Smuts was
Churchill's deputy in the British
war council.
The climax of his career came
with his participation in the de
velopment of United Nations. He
is the author of the fine pre
amble to the Charter. A staunch
believer in an organization to
maintain peace in the world
Smuts made a great contribution
to the organizing of this agency
which now is about the only ref
uge for the dove of peace, in all
the world.
Smuts wrote books; he had
real scientific interest; he was
something of a philosopher
and in his 70's he still would
climb Table Mountain at Cape
Town with regularity and speed.
Two great names are identified
.with South Africa. One is that of
Cecil Rhodes, transplanted Brit
isher, who is the very symbol of
imperialism. The other is that of
-Jan .Christiaan. Smuts, soldier
and statesman, whose goal was
' peace among the nations and
melioration of prejudice between
races. Each had claims to great
ness among men; but Smuts
surely is the one more to be re
vered.

Korea, Called 'Land of Morning Calm' Has
! Long History Full of Wars and Invasions
' Bqr SsterastfMal News Service '
f NEW YORK, Sept 14 (INS
Korea, for all of its . turbulent
history, is known as The Land
' of the Morning Calm. That is
the translation of the country's
ancient name. Chosen.
While Korea's history goes
back to 1100 B. C, The Book of
Knowledge says the country
, consisted of seven separate king
doms which were not united un
til the tenth century.
A high degree of civilization'
existed in Korea lor many cen
turies and . books were being
printed there with movable type
two hundred years before the
same process was 'discovered'

Korea sent out a fleet in an un
successful attempt to wipe out
Japanese piracy. Twice in the .
sixteenth century, the country
was laid waste; first by the Ja
panese and then by the Man
chus. In each case, Korea was
Involved as an ally f China.
'
For hundreds of years the Ko-
reaos and Chinese presented m
' common front against commom
enemies. From this association
Korea became deeply influenced
by Chinese art, literature, prac-
tieal science and philosophy.
Then, ; toward the end of the
sixteenth 'century, Korea found
herself reduced to the status of
a vassal state of China and went
lato a period of rapid deteriora
Con. , "-.-v.
' Then Korea isolated herself
behind her rocky forbidding
shores and, it was not until the
ninteenth century , that Christian
missionaries were able to begin
opening the country to the west
ern world.
.
- China and Japan went to war
over Korean iq 1884. Japan was
the winner in -this fight which
gained her a foothold on the As
iatic mainland. The invasion
riled the Russians who even
tually pressured Japan into
, abandoning Korea. As part of
- the deal Russia, taking advan
tage of ill feeling between the
', Korean king and the Japanese,
gained important concessions in
timber,' ports and fisheries.
This Russian grab helped to
bring about the Russo-Japanese
war which ended with Korea's
being promised automony while
Russia surrendered Port Arthur
and other mainland footholds to
Japan. ?
The Book of Knowledge re
port on Korea says the people
are highly superstitious. They
believe the air is full of good
and evil spirits. Hills and moun
tain are looked upon as gods
who must be appeased with
gifts. Pebbles are carried one at
a time to the tops of high moun
tains as offerings . to the gods
who are supposed to dwell with
in them, x

' Korea 'has enjoyed religious
freedom for a long time and
there are Christians, Buddhists,
Shintoists and Confucianists
among them. ; Confucianism is
'the official cult and ancestor
worship is punctiliously observ
ed However,' superstition plays
a great part in any form of wor
ship among the Korean people.
Koreans are taller than the
Japanese with well-made oval
faces, high cheek bones and
narrow eyes. The usual dress of
the men is plain white cotton.
No needles or thread are used in
he construction of Korean clo
thing; it is stuck together with
glue. When laundered it simply
is unstuck, washed, dried and
then stuck together again.
Korean gentlemen universally
carry fans. The women pluck
their eyebrows and redden their
lips but are kept in considerable
seclusion. They marry young
and are considered successful
after they have given birth to
sons. A betrothed couple do not
see each other until the cere
mony. The bride is led into the
presence of her prospective hus
band with her eyes sealed. She
does not speak during the cere
mony and remains silent for a
long time afterward.
One of the principal attrac
tions in Seoul, the former capital
is a belfry which contains a huge
bronze bell cast in 1468. It has
a lovely tone which is explained
by this typical fable:
The king ordered a bellmaker
to cast, on pain ot death, a clear
toned bell. Although he tried, he
was unable to do this until his
daughter, who had a beautiful
voice, flung herself into the mol
ten metal from which the huge
tongue was to be cast The bell
used to be rung at sunset and at
dawn. At sunset all the men
were forbidden to remain out of
doors for it was then time for
the women to flock outside and
enjoy the air.

had to. This is my last day in
Paris and before me is a list
of things I have to do today,
and it is two feet long. -
t l don't want to do half the
things on the list, but the un
written code of the tourist de
mands that upon his return home
he be able to answer a truinrui
"yes" when asked if he saw
such and such, and did such
and such, while in Paris.
What with doing what I want
to do in Paris, I haven't gotten
around to one-tenth of the
"musts." Before the sun sets to
day, painting the Seine with
colors it paints rivers all over
the world, including the Skunk
River in Iowa, I am going to
have to move like a bat out of
the bad place to make the re
quired rounds.
There's the Louvre, for ex
ample. I have been in the
Louvre so many times on prev
ious trips that Winged Victory,
at the top of the stairs, flutters
her wings in welcome when I
go in, and the Mona Lisa' bares
her teeth in a grin when I pass
by. But that wouldn't excuse me
for not going this time. To say
that I' passed, up the Louvre
this time because I had already
been there would be much like
my saying that I won't go to
church any more because I have
already been. ,
I don't know what the world's
record time for seeing the
Louvre is, but i the champion
may be dethroned today. I aim
to be at the entrance right at
opening time and to get in be
fore art lovers clutter up the
place, and really skedaddle
through.
As soon as I get out of the
Louvre I will cross the Seine
(see above) and stroll along Its
left bank, browsing among the
bookstalls for a mile or two.
Nearly all the books for sale are
in French and since about all
the French I can read is
"hommes," "coiffeur," "plat du
, jour," "Mademoiselle," and
"carte blanche," browsing is
mighty dull for me. When you
do run across a volume in Eng
lish it is usually something like
"Riders of the Purple Sage,"
"The Art of After-Dinner Speak
ing," or "Ice Breakers A Thou

Parties." "
From the bookstalls I will
tear to the Eiffel Tower, ascend
to the top in the elevator, and
watch pedestrians getting bump

' place where a visitor really is
