DEUTSCHLAND KAPUTI
1 "The defeat of Germany is
complete and crushing," Gen.
Eisenhower reports. It was what
the had coming. She asked for
It, begged for it, insisted upon
it, and went out of her way to
get it. The inglorious finish
serves her right. The same fate
awaits Japan, an able mimic, al
so now groggy from the harvest
of her own treachery. For both,
there is nothing left but uncon
ditional surrender. The terms
are harsh and bitter, but just.
Never again will Prussian gen
erals and phony Oriental gods
try to enslave the world, and
falling, enslave themselves and
their own people.
Everything that could happen
fo an army, is now happening to
the Wehrmacht. They have quit
fighting but are still running
and doing a magnificent job of
the latter. No formal surrender
is expected. The late uncon
querable super-race will come
dressed a. they are, with enough
wind left to say "uncle."
After the Nazis have been
thumped to within an inch of
their national life, one of the
problems will be to re-educate
them. The education they are
now getting is thorough and the
best thing that ever happened
to them as a people. After the
Nazi youths have learned to sing
"I Am a Little Sunbeam," they
can start packing red apples to
their Russian masters and teach
ers. Premier Stalin will prob
ably put his foot down on any
notion to establish tap-dancing
classes, ala WPA, for the Teu
tonic brats. There will also be
no rush to fatten them up with
Yankee grub for World War III.
Peace rumors ye&:,rday swept
the nation like Gen. Patton
sweeping Into Bavaria. It was
officially quashed before the
bulk of the population could
start brewing their own rumors,
a trick at which they are adept.
People who like to believe any
thing once, were given no time
to enjoy it, let alone think up
rumors of their own.
In the midst of the excite
ment Argentine, the late "good
neighbor" suddenly discovered
she was mad at Germany and
declared war upon the Axis.
For a long time, Argentine
wouldn't say no, and wouldn't
say yes. She gave an outstand
ing exhibition of mulelshness.
Herr Hitler is still at large,
and has been listed by the Brit
ish as the major war criminal.
There has been some shyness
heretofore, about classifying him
In this category. He would love
to sneak off some place, like his
fellow-scamp, Mussolini, and
have all the malignant diseases,
until the world felt sorry for
him.

Los Angeles, March 25: Yes, back in L. A. on orders from
G.H.Q, Have to meet "Baby Snooks" and chaperone her to Mexico
City for Easter Sunday. It is not an unpleasant task, in fact the
undersigned rather likes the idea!
e e
Really hated to leave Palm Springs, particularly as yesterday
and today were warm and- "chahmin" as Andy is won't to say.
After the "Big Wind" such weather was especially appreciated.
That storm incidently was one of the worst ever experienced at
the Springs. It took half a day to clear up the debris on the golf
course, benches, tree branches, signs and leaves were scattered
all over the place.
This is Palm Sunday a very important and holy day In the
Christian world. Coming in on the bus we saw hundreds of palms
but no people carrying palm branches.
Not so on Palm Sunday 40 years ago, when your correspond
ent was lost In the hills of Italy near Viterbo astride a bicycle
which he had brought from home and it had an eliptical sprocket.
Everywhere the villagers and peasants were coming home
from church, with palm leaves in their Hands men, women and
children, and very solemn and devout they were. So was your
correspondent but not for the same reason. For he was just plain
lost, couldn't speak a word of Italian and no one he met could
speak English. He finally ended up at a hill town without a hotel
or restaurant called Todl and spent two days and nights there
In a deserted mansion.
But that is another story! '

Aid To Veterans
Bsbson Discusses G. I,
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Fla March 9
(Special Correspondence) I am
astonished by figures just re
leased. These show that over
3,600,000 draftees have been
turned down because of poor
physical condition and over
1,600,000 discharged; while the
average intelligence of the en
tire army equals only that of a
13 year old boy.
Loans and Education
Yet, politicians pretend that
this situation can be remedied
by loaning each returning sol
dier from $2,000 to $10,000, or
by giving him $500 per year
plu. $30 per month to get some
kind of a diploma! I am glad to
have veterans receive these
gifts; but they must not think
the loan or the diploma will en
able them to operate a business
successfully or even to hold a
good Job.
It would be far better for the
government to help these men
dovclop self-mastery and con
structive thinking even to use
themselves as a laboratory in
stead of bothering with some
college laboratory. The truth
Is that their brains have been In
a concentration camp for the
past few years. The veterans'
future depends upon the use of
their brains, in hard construc
tive thinking under expert guid
ance. Your Boys' Brains

Loam and Education
War II. Certainly, this will last
until the people spend the
money which since 1940 they
have been accumulating. As to
what will happen thereafter
will depend upon the thinking
powers of the returning soldiers.
G. I. loans and free education
will not keep people employed.
In fact, why should any man ex
pect any other man to employ
him? Why should not all have
initiative and originality enough
to create their own Jobs?
The answer to the above ques
tion Is that very few people
have been taught to do original
and constructive thinking. This
is a basic cause of unemploy
ment and one which must be
rectified. Here are matters of
great Importance to every par
ent: has your boy a definite
goal In life? Has he self-control
and self-mastery? Has he Imagi
nation, energy and stirk-to-it-
lveness? Has he been "born
again" spiritually? Is he return
ing from the war more or less
thoughful with better habits?
The answer to these questions
by honest mothers will deter
mine whether the United States'
debts will be paid or repudiated
a weM as our postwar employ
ment situtaion.
Great Discoveries Ahead

the war will not dunenrl nnnn
money or college diplomas but
upon sen-mastery and brains.
Neither or these neerierl assets

will come only through self-development,

Some of the inmates' of the

a system for periodical review

system, according to Hilding
Bengtson, state representative
from Jackson County. Speaking
at a luncheon meeting of the
Medford Rotary club at the
Hotel Medford Tuesday, Bengt
son lauded the able supervision
of the penitentiary and describ
ed the parole system of the

There Is need for reform In

said, and Immediate steps should
be taken to effect it. He was a
