10-LEASE
Washington, May 15 (U.R)
A government official who re
cently visited Europe told a
house agriculture subcommittee
today that European nations
overestimated their lend-lease
requirements in order to build
up their supplies for postwar
civilian use.
"They all did it France, the
United Kingdom and Russia
especially," he said. "At least,
that'll what the present facts indicate."
The official asked that his
name and position be kept con
fidently '. He said he was speak
ing a. a private citizen who had
recently visited Europe, and did
not want to identify his depart
ment with his statement. He tes

The official told the subcom
mittee and the conference that
this foreign "stockpiling" was
especially true of cotton sent to
France.
"By overestimating their re
quirements," he said, "the
French have received enough
cotton to last through the first
half of 1946. And if they are
able to get some more of the
short staple variety, there will
be American cotton kicking
around France for quite some
time."

Urges Yankees to
Shake and Forget
Berchtesgaden, May 15 (U.R)
Col. Gen. Heinz Guderian, Ger
many's number one tank expert.
said today American and Ger
man soldiers should shake hands
"just like after a football match."
In a plea for soft treatment of
Germany, he said the allies
"ought not to make the same
mistakes as after the last war in
not permitting Germany the pos
sibility to exist."
"It would be difficult not to
make these mistakes in the hate
born of war," Guderian said in
an interview. "The victory cries
for indiscriminate punishment of
the defeated.
"But a soldier after battle soon
feels at home with the other sol
dier. It's like a football match
when you shake hands and wish
each other luck. Politicians and
businessmen unfortunately feel
and act otherwise."

TAKEN BY DEATH
Salt Lake City, May 15. U.R)
Heber Jedediah Grant, first
native of Utah to become presi
dent of the Latter Day Saints
(Mormon) church, died last
night. He was 88 years old.
Although he had long been in
poor health, few of Grants' fol
lowers were aware of the seri
ousness of his illness until a few
hours before his death when it
was announced he had suffered
a relapse.
Grant's widow, eight daugh
ters and their husbands and two
church councillors, J. Reuben
Clark, former U. S. ambassador
to Mexico, and David O. McKay,
were at his bedside.
Death was attributed to old
age.
Grant assumed the presidency
Nov. 23, 1918, and in the follow
ing 26 years guided the church
through the most crucial period
of its development in this nation
and abroad.
In later life, Grant had be
come an uncompromising foe of
polygamy, although he had em
braced it in his youth.

quayside to board a launch for
his trip tc England as a prisoner.
All the Channel islands had
been liberated by the small

main body of troops landed to

military and naval personnel
were in the bag.

(Special Correspondence). We
shall be passing up vast oppor
tunities for national advance
ment if we now fail to capitalize
our recent lessons on how to
educate. I mean the lessons
which have been taught to us
by the new techniques of train
ing men and women for war.
Public Schools Vs.
Military Training
It is true that civilian educa
tion is aimed at peaceful object
ives. As commonly practised,
the most popular courses are the
socalled "outside activities",
although most of them are non
educational. I refer to jitter
bugging, juke-boxing and those
graver pastimes which may not
be immoral, but surely are a
facsimile thereof. In military
training, the purpose is "How to
win and come back alive".
Nevertheless, the two educations
(civilian and military) can be
alike in attitude, even if unlike
in subject matter.
The famed super-speed and
ultra-efficiency of military train
ing are not to be explained by
mere mechanical methods alone.
Stroboscopic or slow-motion pic-
Ltures,-models in miniature, high-
pressure coaching, pocket-size
texts, these modern boosters
are worthy of attention by every
school committee. The inner dif
ference, however, which puts
army and navy training long
miles ahead of our house-drawn
public schools is the superior
build-up of educational attitude.
Raising Mental Age
Wartime Lesson
In the schooling of the armed
forces, both trainers and train
ees are consciously dealing in
life or death. However immature
in years, the servicemen are
quick to feel the adult attitude
of those who learn their lessons
"under live ammunition." This
"adult attitude", this precocity
of maturity, is what makes mili
ary instruction click and tick.
Our public schools should dupli
cate, in peacetime, this wartime

attitude to raise the mental age.
When we extend the range of
education to cover maturity, we
automatically increase the pow
er of education and tap its un
explored and undreamed possi
bilities. The surest way to raise
the standard of living and true
security is to raise the average
"mental age" of the population.
Hence, another way to raise this
average mental age is to encour
age adult education. This re
quires supplementing our pres
ent public school system with
new adult educational systems.
School System
Needs Reformation
Our school system in Its juve
nile branches offers alluring
possibilities of . refo r m a 1 1 o n.
Speaking brutally, but realisti
cally, most of today's schools
under the influence of hardhead
ed politicians, softheaded senti
mentalists and emptyheaded par
ents are a mess. That the
school certificates of graduates
are traditionally engrossed on
the skin of the sheep seems
grimly fitting when we look up
the I.Q. of this self-regimented
animal!
Yet, unfortunate is the fate of
those of us who seek to reform
the schools. The prospective con
traversy, resistance, obstruction
and reaction are shocking to be
hold. The possibilities of reform
are alluring, but the path of re
form is appalling. It may be
better to leave the schoolmen to
stew in their own juice for
awhile longer and turn attention
to development of adult educa
tion. But I will say more about
Adult Education next week.
Importance Of
Adult Education
In countless camps all over
the world, it has been demon
strated that boys and girls be
come men and women most
promptly and most surely when
the mark of an educated man or
woman is not a diploma but a
dog-tag. I foresee that my real
ism will shock the sentimental
ists, but the statement stands.
Yes, the double failure of the
antiquated public school system
Is that It results In delayed ma
turity of the virtues,- while
prompting precocity in the vices.
If it is hopeless to re-organize
the schools, there is high hope to
organize Adult Education. It
could, it might. It may become
America's outstanding contribu
tion to world security. Surely,
we can educate for life as effici
ently as we educate for death.
