The Times Opposes the Big 3?
The London Times does not seem to be so enthu
siastic about unconditional surrender of Germany.
, At least before the surrender, it outlines what it
believes should be one of the principal conditions.
"Germany should not be dismembered nor should Its
heavy Industry be dismantled. We should have a strong
Germany in Europe after the war, not for the sake of
Germany, but for the sake of this country and of Europe
for the sake of a prosperous and a secure Europe. Germany
can then be controlled by superior force, and so be unable
again to wage aggressive war."
Well, well!
That statement takes direct issue with Secretary
Morcenthau, who wants all German heavy industry
distributed to the victors, and the Third Reich reduc
ed to a sort of inoffensive pastoral land, with only a
little light manufacturing for local consumption al
lowed.
And it also takes issue, one presumes, with the
secret plans of the Big Three Messers Churchill,
Roosevelt and Stalin.

being at least.
But it is only another indication of the breakers
that lie ahead.
In England opposition to unconditional surrender
is growing day by day. Not because of any weaken
ing in the hatred and distrust of Germany but be
cause of a growing fear, that another year 6f war
with a completely crushed and dismembered Ger
many, will mean a Communist Germany, and Eng
land doesn't care to have Communism any nearer
Trafalgar Square than well let us say Warsaw !
That is the real milk in this particular cocoanut.
It promises to increase and grow sourer and sourer,
as tne war goes on.
From Pink to Red?
Speaking of communism, when General De Gaulle
kicked out General Giraud, several months' ago and
took over supreme power himself, friends of the for
mer openly charged General De Gaulle with being in
league with Stalin and the Communist party of
France.
The charge was vigorously denied and General De
Gaulle took it upon himself to then broadcast to the
world, that not he but the people of France would
decide what form of government they wished, just
as soon as France had been liberated and peace re
stored. that may still be the plan.
But judging by General De Gaulle's speeches
since the Germans were driven out, and also by the
political character of his chief lieutenants, the pro
visional government if not red is certainly a definite
pink and an effort to condition the people of France
to a radical turn to the left is certainly in the process
of being carried out at the present time.
it or General De Gaulle has not only come out for
a planned economy but for:
We quote:
"All natural resources must be controlled by the state,
for In these modern times governments are much better
fitted than Individuals to exploit the riches of the earth. . . .
Your new government favors an equal share of national
Income for every Frenchman."
That does not make the General a French Stalin
necessarily but it certainly does make him a French
Kerensky.
And it is the history of every economic and social
revolution that the moderates soon give way to the
extremists the Napoleons to the Robespierrcsl
War of "Surprises
Washington, Oct. 3. (UP)
Mme. Ion Antonescu, wife of the
ally In official J0" P" minister, gave
film a inwiuuf5.il luiiKUC-iosiiuia,
but Romania's queen Helen made
everything all right with offers
of money and gifts of food and
cigarets, a repatriated American
war prisoner reported today.
1st. Lt. Peter S. Marioles, 25-year-old
15th air force navigator
of Lowell, Mass., became a pris
oner when his plane was shot
down near Morenia 2Vi months
before Romania got out of the
war.
. Without a Shirt
Mme, Antonescu's harsh atti
tude, he Indicated, resulted In
part, at least, from the fact that
she caught him without his
shirt.
"Mme. Antoneecue once visit
ed some of us convalescing In a
hospital at Ploesti," Marioles
said at a press conference. "We
didn't expect her and I had only
my pants on," he related. "This
seemed to shock her very much,
and she turned on me and told
me I ought to have my eyes
plucked out.
"She called me a gangster and
said that I got $800 for every
mission I went on, and this was
the only reason I would fly to
make money..
Lady Long Winded
"I told her that if that wasj
the way she felt about it, there!
was no use talking, and walked
away," Marioles said, adding '
that a Romanian doctor who'
witnessed the scene told him he
had done the right thing "be-'
cause that woman would keep it
up for an hour."
Queen Helen visited the hospi
tal twice, the flier said. Once
was accomnanierl hv Kine
Mihai.
"She brought food and cigar-!
ets, and asked me if I needed,
money," Marioles said. "I took
everything except the money. I
had no use for that.

THE subject seems to me to
contain the heart of the

They must be measuring by
the amount of foolscap upon

JALOPYPARADE
IS PLAINS THREAT
Washington, Oct. 3 U.R
Another "jalopy exodus from
the great plains" like that of the
1930's is inevitable if a compre
hensive reclamation plan for the
upper Missouri valley is not put
into effect after the war, Wil
liam E. Warne. acting commis
sioner of the bureau of reclama
tion, said today.
"The precarious character of
the agriculture, the desire to
avoid relief as far as possible,
the lack of power, the inaccessi
bility of water supplies, and fre
quent low purchasing power
have combined to deprive the
great majority of rural farm
dwellers of the Missouri basin
of a high standard of living,"
he told the senate irrigation committee.
The craft to which he was assign
ed participated in the Sicilian,
Italian and Normandy invasion
operations. Before entering the
navy Lt. Fisher was employed
by the California-Oregon Power
company here.
