ABOVE ^HULLABALOO ,\ N / By LYTLE HULL POST-WAR PLANNING In formulating, at this time, any treaty or agreement which might be intended to bind this country to post-war international commit ments, there should be taken into consideration the fact that radical changes in conditions and senti ments will occur before peace comes. If the war should last two or three or four years longer, the iternational “picture” will be ; without question, of an entirely different color. There may even be a change of alliances: Italy might be fighting on our side; Vichy France on the side of Germany: and Russia may be out of it en tirely. These are just haphazard possibilities to illustrate how inap propriate a binding international post-war agreement, made at this time, might prove to be. There exisits a fairly nation wide opinion that some sort of in ternational committee should be organized by the Allies which would plan for post-war recon struction and operation, and for upholding the principles for which we are fighting. These principles have been enunciated by our lead ers; but there are innumerable re lated angles which should be clear ly defined. A vastly important question, for example, is how to guard against mass starvation and anarchy all over Europe in the interim between the declaration of peace and the days when the nations of Europe can “get control” of themselves. This interim is sure to occur and is sure to be tragic unless the Allies are prepared to step in instantly and in a thorough organized man ner. If we are not fully prepared for this interim—before the war ends—a great deal of our present day misery may have been in vain. There are so many other sub jects to be discussed and planned for by such a committee. What for instance, is to be done with the leaders of the enemy nations in the event of unconditional surren der? One hears various^ ideas on this sub jet which range all the way from frying them in oil to putting them on a sinking island. Wha^ general treatment should be ac corded the enemy nations? Should Germany be broken up into thJ small states of which she is com posed; or should an international police force be maintained in Ger many—or what? How about Jar pan? Is she going to be allowed to keep Korea or Manchukuo, c: any of the islands which were s»> stupidly handed over to her aftf • the last World war and which to day are such a thorn in the sido i of Australia and of the United States? And if not, who is to own or operate them? These are illustrative of th^ thousands of questions which should be worked over by an in ternational body of soberminderi men whose craniums are known t u- contain brains and not day dreams. This body of men should not in a position to commit their gov - ernments or peoples in any way. They should be an advisory board only; and their findings and sug gestions should be made public si that we would all be able to mu l over them and form our opinions, in order that we might be prepare ! to “throw our weight” intelligently when and if the occasions arose. We must not be committed bv any branch of our government definite post-war obligations, for mulated at a time when no on^ has the slightest idea when the war will be over nor what condi tions will be like at that time, but it would only seem logical thatw ? should be thinking and plannin : and preparing to handle the tryta3 situations which will surely arise. AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF -T M.«wS. LEFF ' Marine Pvt. 1st Class M. G. Hoffman, survivor of the U. S. S. QUINCY, was a loader on one of her big guns until she was sunk during an engagement with the Japs off Savo Island in the Solomons. Hoffman is typical of the crew.

Treasury Dei*ntnt»t (Each week In this space will be presented a picture ai;u \»oia pui trail ui someone whose name is news.) o These days, when movie actresses appear •' magic on the African front and the man next to you on the assembly line may turn out to be a famous lawyer, there’s nothing surprising about finding a college professor filling a diplomatic post, especially if he happens to be Dr. Carlton J. H. Hayes, pro fessor of history at Columbia University, whose text books on modern history you probably discovered in school in the form of “required reading.” • His vigorously anti-Nazi attitude, plus his position as an outstanding Catholic layman, made Dr. Hayes the logical person to handle the ticklish problem of weaning Spain from t.he Axis, for his knowledge of totalitarian ideology makes it easy for him to substantiate his anti-Nazi assertions, while his affiliation with the Catholic Church makes him addi tionally acceptable to the Franco government. • Born at Afton, N. Y., which is still his home, Dr. Hayes is a graduate of Columbia University. The list of his degrees, honors and published works fills three inches in “Who’s Who," but he is best known as a stem critic of nationalism and totalitarianism. His book. “Nationalismus,” was banned in Ger- Ambassador to Spain many in 1936.
