RESTORING THE LOOT
Not so many months ago Henry Morgenthau, speaking
out of turn, announced that the post-war plan for Germany
was to transform that industrial nation into an 'agricultural
one. The Germans were displeased by the statement and there
can be no question that their defense stiffened somewhat in
consequence.
Mr. Morgenthau shouldn't have talked that way, of course.
It wasn't diplomatic, nor was it his place. The secretary of
state should have said anything on that particular subject
that was to be said and he would undoubtedly" have said it
differently.
Just the same, we're wondering if there isn't a likelihood
that Germany, while perhaps not reduced to the status of an
agricultural nation, may not be considerably less important
industrially than it is today. Tartly, we can surmise, this
will be the result of war's destruction there can be no
question that some of the thousands upon thousands of bombs
raining down on German factories are hitting their targets.
And partly it will be the result of restoration.
Not reparations, such as were levied after the first world
war and not collected, but turning back the industrial loot
stolen from occupied countries. In some of these unhappy
lands, equipment was allowed to remain, being put in use for
the German war effort. In other instances it was promptly
carted away to the fatherland. There were also removals and
destruction w4jen the invaders found it advisable to move out.
The countries so looted should be given back that which was
taken from them. Nor does this mean payment for loot or
extension of credit. It means restoration of the equipment
itself, or the handing over of a equipment that will take its
place. With it will go millions of foreign laborers, forced into
German service. They will not be needed in the fatherland
when their machines are sent back and they probably would
not wish to remain longer anyway.
Under such a program the once-occupied countries would
be, in a measure, rehabilitated. They and the aggressor nation
which had despoiled them would be reiceiving only simple
justice. '
JOHNSON LEAVES THE USO
Through the period of intensive use of the Bend USO,
including the life of Camp Abbot and the time of the general
army maneuvers in this area, Carl A. Johnson was chairman
of the local council which cooperated with the National Cath
olic Community Service in providing for the welfare of
members of America's armed forces here. At a time when it
Beemed assured that a large center would be required in Bend
for the duration it was Carl Johnson who insisted on more
suitable quarters and who obtained the renovation and re
modeling of the building then occupied on Wall street.
The USO record in this community thus been a fine one.
An important part of it has been' the record of the.council and
. of its chairman. This is not merely ourl idea. It was the idea

Johnson as the outstanding chairman of the NCCS-operated
USOs in the United States.
Mention of his record has been made before now in this
column. It is referred to once more in connection with the
news of his resignation. The task is less arduous now, but
it is still too much when it is remembered that he has accepted
the presidency of the Bend Chamber of Commerce. It is an
other big job and one which he will also handle with credit to
the community and to himself.
As to the USO, it is still in good hands. Robert E. Bur
leigh, one of the most enthusiastic of USO workers through
that organization's most strenuous days in Bend, takes over as
chairman of the council. We may feel confident that USO will
continue to live up to the reputation which it has always held
in this area.

Washington, D. C. The road to also found Luzon's only extensive

From the Lingayen gulf port

Philippine capital of Manila is a
little more than a hundred miles.
The intervening country is a
broad, open corridor averaging 10
miles across and hemmed m on
both sides by mountains. On the
west, the highlands rise in spots

feet. One roaches up nearly 6,

The fact that both railroads and
highways run along the eastern
and western edges of the plains,
with connecting links crossing in
the north but avoiding the south
