I Germans Are Confused By Lack of Leadership (Continued from Page 1) cent? These things the confused people of the world must see if we want, them to respect us as people, not just as. a great pqwer, with money to help them over the crisis they now face. One evening I went out to a German night club with a group, and instead of dancing spent the. time talking to a young Germanj girl. Quite aware of the faults and undesirable, characteristics of her people, she wasn’t the least hes itant to discuss them frankly. But she wasn’t disloyal, she only hoped fervently to help her people. Most important, I think, is this fact she pinpointed. Ger man people find it hard to say they were wrong in this last war. But blame the educational system for that. If you’d been thoroughly propagandized you, too, would find it hard to change your mind com pletely in four short years. Therein lies our problem. These German people have for years lived according to the old traditions of fuedalistic Prussia. They think the old way—the mon archist way—is the best way, be cause that has been their tradi tion. With Hitler’s tremendous propa ganda scheme they were even more sure that the way of the whip was the right way. Now they just won’t even open their eyes to new ideas. They’ve been led so long that the idea of democratic living just isn’t in them. And by democratic, I mean the practice of thinking through a problem, or a political issue and making real judgments for them selves. It is much easier to let a leader think for them, then fol low that leader. But these people j arc being exposed to this new democratic idea, though it will take years of education and example to implant this principle in the minds of the Germans. Yet I’m afraid that if we do this educating ourselves we will be guilty of propagandizing, just as Hitler did and as the Communists are doing now. We must encourage those thinking youths such as these students here at Nansen haus, to be the center of our hope for demo cracy in Germany. Propaganda Because of Nazi propaganda, the youth of Germany arc today very opinionated, and very disil lusioned. For under Hitler they had something to cling to. He was their way of life, their god; he’s all they had been taught for so long. And when he fell, everything they had fell. Now there is nothing. No ideol ogy, no faith, no hope. As Mr. Charles Evans, British Control Commissioner for Gottingen, point ed out to us, it is most important that this void in their lives be filled. It is being filled, in Eastern Germany—the Russian zone. Mr. Evans believes that one of the first things that must be done is to rid the youth of the feeling that they arc the “Bad boys” of the world. Only then can we start building new men, a new democra tic spirit. , We have the chance to supply the right answers to a bewildered peo ple. But will we stand by and let this chance slip past ug? The Com munists in Eastern Germany have more propaganda than Hitler ever dreamed of. And they arc very anxious to give some answers, too!
