GERMAN UNDERGROUND SEETHES According to uncensored dis­ patches now reaching Washington, active guerrilla warfare is flaring up on a mounting scale behind the German lines. First real indication of an active Fifth column in Germany came re­ cently with accurate reports of pitched battles inside Berlin, Bres- IrfU and Bremen. This new guerrilla warfare differs from that of parti­ san units inside France. Yugoslavia and Greece in that few of the guer­ rilla troops are Germans. The bulk are Frenchmen and Russians who were captured earlier in the war and have been used as slave labor in the reich. All of these workers were carefully guarded by Himmler until recently. Most lived in big cities and worked in large In­ dustrial plants. In Berlin for example, hundreds of thousands of slave laborers have been housed in fenced off temporary barracks in the heart of the city. But recent powerful allied air raids have created such chaos that thousands of foreign work­ ers escaped from their en­ closures and have hidden in the bomb ruins. At night, the guerrillas prowl the streets, capture Nazi sentries, steal food and ammunition, commit ex­ tensive sabotage. They have been joined by some German army de­ serters, afraid to return to the front, advices say. Once Berlin is taken it is expected that the several million slave labor­ ers will flare into such revolt that Germany—except in the mountain­ ous south—will cave like an egg­ shell.

NEW MORAL ORDER MUST BE PROMOTED WASHINGTON. — Excerpts from a recent talk of mine. “The Revo­ lution in Values” : Ours is a capitalistic system which depends for its strength and power upon soundness — not only in Anance. taxation, prices and such economic matters, but also political soundness built upon the confidence of its people. In red ink, we must write on our books the burden of the greatest debt of history, eventually to be 300 billions of dollars. We must serv­ ice and pay this debt, carry it as our war burden, for we financed this war, not only our part of it, but that of everyone else, including Russia to some extent. But Rus­ sia will have no such burden. She has for herself destroyed our con­ Filipino guerrillas march In the cept of financial values.
