HUES SHAPE PUS HAS PLANS FOR GEM STRIVE TO DESTROY WAR MAKING ABIILTY OF REICH By AL JEDLICKA With Allied troops driving into Germany and the war drawing closer to its end, the question of how to deal with Germany to prevent it from rearming, and yet not cripple it too severely as a key producer for Europe, pressed Allied statesmen. As U. S. and British troops drove the Nazis back to their frontier on the west, and Russian successes placed them within 100 miles of the Reich on the east, Allied planning for postwar control of Germany re-<s>— ceived a sudden jolt with Secretary Russian troops for perhaps a gen eration. of the Treasury thau’s proposals .Henry for a Morgen- ‘Cartha- Mr. and Mrs. Thos.

Opposed as they were by Secre tary of State Cordell Hull and Sec retary of War Henry Stimson. Mor genthau’s proposals provoked a live ly discussion in U. S. circles over the broad policies to be followed in treating with postwar Germany, with the President reportedly de ciding against Morgenthau’s proj ect after earlier favoring it. Morgenthau’s plan for crushipg Germany included seven points: 1. Removal from Germany of all industrial machinery that liberated countries may desire and destruc tion of the rest of such facilities. 2. Permanent closing of whatever mines remain in the territory of the postwar German state. 3. Cession of the Saar and west ern German industrial areas to France, and cession to Poland of eastern German territory as sug gested by Russia. 4. Breaking up of large German land holdings into small farms for the 45,000,000 people remaining in the country. 5. Withholding of any economic aid to the German people, with no food, clothing or other relief sup plies to be furnished, nor any re construction of railroads or facto ries permitted. d>. Extended occupation of Ger many by American, British and . 7. No assessment of reparations, since Germany would have no money to pay them with, nor would be allowed to earn any. The plan reportedly favored in opposition to Morgenthau’s recog nized that for years Germany has been the key to middle European economy, furnishing other coun tries with necessary products while in turn obtaining the exchange for becoming a big consumer of their goods as well. Under the plan, therefore, indus try would be permitted to function in Germany, but only under strict Allied supervision to prevent the development of any capacity for warmaking potential. As finally worked out, with a view toward compromise with the Mor- genthau viewpoint, an economic control commission embracing rep resentatives of the U. S., Britain and Russia would have broad pow er over the whole postwar German economic program, with smaller groups under it. One of these groups would super vise industrial operations within Germany in the immediate postwar period to prevent a complete pros tration and maintain control until such a time as the Allied powers formulated a final economic policy for the country. Other commissions would be set up to control communications, su pervise operations of financial in stitutions, and establish education al reforms to reshape the ideals of German youth. By the development of such a plan, it was felt, the basic struc ture of European economy could be maintained without an immediate collapse that might easily lead to chaos on the continent. At the same time, it was pointed out. such a plan went toward re assuring those in the Morgenthau camp that Germany’s potential for waging war would be under close supervision of Allied authorities. In Germany, Morgenthau’s pro posals drew the immediate fire of Nazi officials, with Goebbels mak ing full use of their implications to whip up the German people for a do-or-die stand against the oncom ing Allied steamroller. Declaring that Morgenthau was “outdoing” Clemenceau, the French premier who sought to paralyze German industrial potential after the last war, the Nazis blared. “. . . occupation of the Reich by Americans and British would be as horrible as if by . . . the Bolshe vist Russians ...” ”... They intend to . . . de value our money,” the Nazis rat tled on. “They intend to take over the postal and telegraph and radio services. They want to introduce total censorship and telephone com munications and confiscate all ra dios. They want to introduce Eng lish as the official language ...” “. . . Clemenceau said there were 23,000,000 Germans too many —Morgenthau wants to see 43,000,- 000 Germans exterminated.” Only immediate congressional re action to the postwar planning for Germany was expressed by Sena tor Edwin Johnson (Dem., Colo.), who asked for a specific announce ment of war aims to cut the ground under Nazi propaganda that the Al lied powers intended to destroy the German people. Johnson called for the resettlement of all Germans in Europe within the prewar borders of the Reich, establishment of a popular liberal government, and complete demilitarization of the country.

Meetii The Central District, South Car olina Council of Farm Women met in Columbia Satufday, Sep tember 23rd, in the Jefferson Ho tel. From the 16 counties forming this district 150 members were present, with enough visitors to make it near 200 in attendance. The theme of the meeting was very pertinent to the times—“Ru ral Youth in a Postwar World,” and any number of fine ideas were presented by the speakers. Miss Bessie Harper, district agent, in troduced Mother Walker, who gave the devotional, a beautiful beginning for a fruitful day. Dr. R. F. Poole, president of Clemson College, addressed the council with emphasis on wom an’s part in the postwar world. The women must “keep the home fires burning,” the church life in tact, and give to the returning boys” a love of country things— birds, trees, flowers,—beauty any where. The great task he assign ed the women was to see that the returning “G. I. Joes” take advan tage of the education facilities the government is providing through the G. I. Bill of Rights for the boys. Diector D. W. Watkins of the Extension Service spoke on “How the council can help with rural youth problems. His urge was, aid to 4-H clubsters in their work, with adequate recreation facili ties in the homes, communities and schools to keep the youth happy in its environment. He stresser the need of proper lead ership for this amoijg the Coun cil of Farm Women, and made a plea for the youth to be so taught, that farm life would have an ap peal—resulting in a finer country life through appreciation and con servation of the soil, the forest wealth and" better living condi tions. The president of the South Car olina Farm Womans Council, Mrs. C. D. Sowell, made an excellent address. She begged the women to foster their community life, not only through the homes, but through proper recreation pro vided in schools and churches, saying that often as she looked up at planes flying over head, she wondered if we would ever be able tc get those boys out of the skies and back home with their f-e planted in the soil. She urged he council to help with school lunches and see that every school has one. Reports were made by the coun ty council presidents of the one outstasding achievement of their councils. The 13 women from McCormick council who attended the meeting, felt very pleased at the report the new president, Mrs. Fred Buzhardt, made of our cannery and the conserving of so much food. Mrs. Joe Griffith presided over the meeting and gave the “goals” for another year. Miss Lonnie I. Landrum brought “Greetings” in her gracious manner, and Mr. John Boswell favored the council with many beautiful songs, which added much to the pleasure. A very fine discussion of “How to make 4-H clubs more effec tive” was participated in by girls from Aiken, Richland and Bam- bery Counties under the leader ship of Mrs. G. E. Hawkins of Greenwood. Miss Bessie Harper awarded at tendance gavel to Saluda County, and achievement gavel to Aiken County. AM' HttNRY J. GOD1JN Sight Speclallai Eyes Examined And Eye Glasse* Professionally Fitted.
