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!

Baby Robins Fly
Before Hale lied
Calgary—(A 3 )- Two robins hatch
ed at a Calgary amusement park
were flying before they were out
of their nest. Mother robin built
her nest in one of the supporting
arms of a mechanical ride.
For several hours a day the ride
whirled around at a dizzy speed.
But the nest remained firm and the
birds soon got used to it.
When mother robin first built the
nest the ride operators tore it out.
But the persistent bird rebuilt the
nest.
