Eisenhower Casts Light
On Political Set-up Of
Berlin; Possible Trend
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE
United Press Staff Correspondent
Gen. Dwlght D. Eisenhower has raised, by inference, the ques
tlo nof whether the new Germany is apt to go communist.
In his second monthly report on American occupation, Eisen
hower shed some valuable light on political developments in Ber
lin. While Berlin Is not a cross-section of all Germany, It is ttiil
looked upon as the capital and quite probably would be the seat
of any central government which the Germans may be permitted
to form.
In Berlin, the American commander revealed, the communists
are In the saddle, holding most of the principal administrative
posts and controlling the press and radio. However, he said, "in
formal reports indicate that a fair and Impartially supervised
eleation in Berlin would not support the present communist party
dominance but would reveal relatively strong support going to
the social democrats and the Christian democratic union, in that
order."
Nevertheless, Elsenhower
which the Russians permitted
Americans took over their occupation sector, the communists and
less extreme leftists (social democrats) are the best organized and
most active.
The communists are building
party, now able to show their
ciples laid down by Moscow. The social democratic party, al
though abolished under Hitler, also has a framework of adherents
on which to build. The old party had a moderate, state socialistic
program.
The other two parties, as described by Eisenhpwer, are new,
drawing support from middle class, conservative bourgeois ele
ments formerly associated with the center. They are called the
Christinn-democratic union and the liberal democratic party.
Neither is well-organized or aggressively active.
. Under such conditions, a political, set-un exists which tends
naturally to swing the Germans
encouraged by the soviet authorities. For instance. Eisenhower
disclosed that the Russians permit the communist newspaper
enough paper to print, 200,000 copies, while the organs of the
other parties' get only enough for 100,000 apiece.
The future political complexion of Germany is of vast Im
portance to all the allies, since it will determine whether the coun
try is to be democratized along soviet or western ideas of what
constitutes democracy. So far, the Russians have had the Jump.
The other allies meanwhile have been unable to make ud their
minds on a common attitude on
these questions:
1. Shall Germany be permitted a central government now?
2. Shall the country be partitioned to prevent the formation
of a new reich? .
3. Shall the Ruhr and Rhlneland he separated
from Germany?
.. 4. Shall German Industry be restored, if It can be done with
out reviving her ability to make war. and her forelffn trnrin r.
sumed to put her on a self-supporting basis?
The French are against a
being. They fear it might lead to another war-like reich and pre
vent the separation of the Ruhr-Rhine. The French also probably
feel that a central government might be In danger of becoming
communist-dominated.

Tennessee Williams, who was

by far the best play in New

Lnur-Ue Taylor has contributed
the greatest performance of her
career However, to say, as some
people have, that the success of
the play Is due to Miss Taylor is
hardly correct. Rather, it should
be said that the success of Miss
Taylor in reviving her reputa

due to the play.

Frankly no., one here thinks
this will do the Job. You cannot
patch up a flood. Unless the
government takes hold of the
fundamentals and solves them
there will be strikes from now
on.
e e
THE fundamentals behind the
situation have been obscur
ed from the. public eye by the
chaos of propaganda. The union
campaign has passed from the
economic into the political stage.
Their wartime campaigns
were plotted on economic
grounds. They massed figures
to claim prices had advanced
more than wages and therefore
demanded wage increases to the
same extent prices had advanc
ed.
They have switched their
strategy away from that ground
entirely. Now they want a 30
per cent wage increase not
claiming prices have advanced
but on the new ground that they
want to maintain national pur
chasing power.
e
TTHE same symptoms are evi
dent in the position of John
Lewis. In coal first he got his
wage Increases on price grounds
then developed something new
called portal-to-portal to claim
additional Increases which could
not be Justified on price grounds
and now is fomenting for fore
men in whom he was never be
fore interested.
Thus labor has dropped the
appeal to the public for justice
the popular- appeal which
made the unions what they are
today. It no longer takes the
public into its confidence by
announcing what it wants in
many instances. In other cases,
it assumes an unequivocal nub-
llc-be-damned policy (New Ifork
elevator strike).
A PATCHWORK handling of
this condition can only lead
to greater success for the unions
along their present line. There
must always necessarily be more
ana more strikes; more and more
wage increases for any reasons;
higher and higher prices. The
situation thus will never get
settled. On this current line it
can never be stabilized.
Mr. Truman no doubt thinks
he is playing as good politics as
Mr. Roosevelt did with the
same methods, but I do not
think so. Mr. Roosevelt could
get away with it economically
because the situation was only
starting then.
Now it has reached a zenith
which means the unions have
more control over economic
policy of the nation than gov
ernment. They can force the
country into inflation against
Mr. Truman's own policy. To
deliver his controls to the press
ures of union political action
can have but one result defeat
of his economic policies and
therefore of himself. If the un
ions continue without responsi
bility to the nation but only to
their own causes they must in
evitably force inflation to its
upper limits and beyond into
economic collapse and finally
socialism of cither the Russian,
German or possibly, but not
probably, of the proposed Amer
ican type.
Inflation means bankruptcy
and the world knows no answer
to thnt except arbitrary social
ism a dictatorship.
Such events would hardly
bring Mr. Truman any political
success or the unions in the
long run, as the army would
no doubt operate our dictator
ship.
e e e
AN economic policy for the
good of the people as a
whole must be established be
yond reach of the unions. A basis
of justice for all must be estab
lished in place of the Roosevelt
policy of justice for the unions
more than anyone else.
Tile unions cannot assume a
national responsibility. Their
very position as a minority clss
group prevents them from
genuinely assuming a character
based on national interest. Hut
they must be made responsible
to the public, the government
and their own membership by
laws placing them on a Just
footing with other class groups
such as farmers and non-union
workers by requiring them to
Incorporate or otherwise mak
ing them responsible for their
actions before the law and the
public.
To force them to incorporate
would make them pa)' taxes to.

support the country as others
do; cause them to assume a
genuine financial responsibility
so their members can see where
their hard-earned money goes.
They could sue and be sued.
Then the public, through the
government, would have some
hold on them. Their strikes
would have to be justified and
their appeals made to justice
rather than to runaway press
ure. They could deal with busi
ness on an equal plane.
This is the only way I can
find it logic or common sense
to prevent inevitable inflation
collapse and socialism.
Our Jersey cow, Barney, is
too tempermental to be owned
and operated by a logger. For
one thing, if we go on a two day
camping trip and turn the calf
loose to do the milking while
we are gone, the first few mak
ings after we get back hardly
dampen the strainer.
She also resents a two or three
hour delay of the dally mtlkings.
After a few such delays, she
short-changes us by half a gal
Ion. Barney, I fear, has a vin
dictive nature. She was born
2000 years too late, still operat
ing as she does according to the
old testament dispensation an
eye for an eye. None of this do-as-you-would-be-done-by
for Bar
ney. After a recent camping trip
and while she was being wooed
back to normal, the milk short
age tempted me to keep the few
stingy drops she gave instead of
feeding them to the calf. As the
calf had to have something. I
substituted water, corn meal and
some left-over mush. These met
with the calf's approval and he
inhaled them to the last drop,
even giving a tonguey search of
his nostrils for bits which might
have become sidetracked.
His evident Dleasure In tho
changed menu fired me with am
bition. How silly of people to
think a calf wanted a steady
diet of milk! No doubt calves
the world over had all sorts of
unsatisfied yearnings just be
cause of this outmoded milk-for-calves
idea. I would be a pio
neer; would make further sub
stitutions and so not only in
crease the calf's pleasure and
poundage but thereby release
more milk for family use. The
calf cooperated by syphoning tip
such leftovers as hotcakes. fruit
salad, clam chowder and string
beans.
You ask how come I got this
black eye. Well I blame it on
the boiled cabbage and fried po
tatoes. It could have been cither
one or both which incited the
calf to rlotings and rebellion.
For quite evidently he cared for
neither. Too, I think it increased
his agitation when the crusty
portions of the fried potatoes got
stuck in his throat. Unable to
bunt them, he took it out on me.

HUNTERS WARNED
....To the editor: The first few
days of pheasant season' have
passed with more hunters in the
field than ever before, some of
whom were successful and many
of whom did not have as good
luck as in years past. It would
appear that rainfall in May and
June lessened the crop of birds
for 1945. .
Farmers owning considerable
tracts of land have lodged com
plaints which should come to the
attention of hunters because of
the possible after effects that
may take place if a change of
attitude is not shown. The com
plaints deal largely with the mat
ter of trespassing. Many hunt
ers make no effort to secure per
mission before going into fields
and some are reluctant to leave
when ordered out. Some of the
farmers are so incensed about it'
that they are threatening to close
their places to all hunting. A
farmer should know who is hunt
ing his place and when it is be
ing hunted. Gates are often left
open and many times livestock
disturbed, if not shot.
Before hunting on land, hunt
ers should always secure permis
sion to do so. The owner of the
land can give or refuse such
permission. Gates should be kept
closed, livestock should not be
disturbed, hunters should use
great care in their shooting and
care should be used in crossing
fences, so as not to break them
down. Most farmers are very
generous in granting permission.
If hunters will give the same
consideration to a farmer and
his property that they would ex
pect for their own, there will be
very little trouble. If not, then
there is a good chance that con
siderable land will be closed to
all hunting.
A land owner may have prom
ised certain friends the first few
days of hunting and other hunt-
ers may have to wait a few daysi
to hunt there. No one should be i
angry because of that.
It is hoped that hunters Willi
bear in mind the above matters I
and if such is done, a much bet- j
ter relationship! will exist and
hunting will be available fori
many.
