There are still many posters, about entitled: "Loose Talk Costs Lives" or "Someone Talked," etc. However, the political leaders here and in Great Britain do not take much stock in this propa ganda evidently by the loose talk springing from them. Some time ago our Secretary of the Treasury, Morganthau. spoke of the severe punishment that Germany must expect. This statement was played up in Nazi propaganda and the fact that it came from a Jew added strength and caused, no doubt, some of the added resistance and will to fight noted of late in the German army and people. Just a few days ago Churchill announced that a slice of Germany would bc tossed to the Poles to reimburse reim-burse them for a like slice of Poland to be given to Russia.

"SELF-DETERMINATION" f MAY BREED ANOTHER WAR Editor, Herald: I This is beyond question the most important stage of the war. Decisions now reached and put I into practice can easily mean, f success or failure of the peace. The most popular stand of the average American today is to condemn Churchill and the British Brit-ish "Torys" for their handling of Greece and Italv. Cries of "Imperialism" and "breach of At- i lantic Charter" are heard on all "Self-determination" of freed lands sounds much better. Yet ; that very "self-determination, u i not judiciously applied, can drive us to another war. We must re- v. u;l vnTKH into power. Small but well or- 4j ganized minorities can easily set r to power and could, if we follow a hands off policy, start up f governments that would menace the world in 25 years. Are we fighting to turn over , occupied countries to the first or- j ganization that steps forward in power hailing the allied cause? Just because a certain group was a "pam in t..c necii" to muer , and his occupation armies and is J the strongest group standing t doesn't mean that it should fake ; over when we have driven off 0i the Nazis. There must be years of re-education to democracy after the war. We have bought with blood an , interest in all the governments in j Eurow.
