They are the Junkers and the. Nazis. At the present writing, for the first time in history, military control of Germany has been wrested from the hands of the They did their best tq act We as a on their ancient adage: caste, must always live to fight another day. A lost war to them is an incident and considered merely a on the road to temporary To that eventual end they planned a peace before their ranks were too greatly weakened or their resources exhausted. But the Nazis stepped in, wrecked their plans. As a caste they will probably be completely destroyed, their estates and therefore their means of livelihood removed. What many people do not know is that the German high command had their own private funds, voted by the government, which they managed themselves for the benefit of the army. Whether the Nazis have obtained this, remains to be seen. But in any case, you may be sure the burning patriotism of those junkers who survive will keep an underground organization alive. And then comes the Nazis, with a younger but equally fanatical loyalty to national socialism. Their underground organizations we know are already prepared. ' Meanwhile there is a strong suspicion on the part of many persons in Washington that a third breeding place for totalitarian militarism is being cultivated right here in the Western hemisphere. In the past weeks I have received several letters and one telephone call protesting against the action ol the state department in breaking relations with Argentina. So far as I could tell the persons who communicated with me were perfectly honest. They ail stressed the known fact that the chief characteristic of the Argentina attitude is traditionally nationalists. The Inference was that the government was not American or and should be let alone. As a matter of fact, aside from Argentines own aims there seems to be evidence that the German Nazis and perhaps some of the German Junkers are transferring their wealth to Argentina. There is not the slightest doubt that the Buenos Aires government has aided and abetted in the spread of propaganda and ts that, at this very moment looking sympathetically on the activities ol Nazi agents within Its borders.

Its several thousand miles from the place where his blood dyed the sands of the French coast to this place where both his body and mind are being healed of the wounds of war but this cycle of life, near-deatthen life again, is encompassed within the time span of less than four weeksl The reason for this can be ?&& summed up in two words: air evacu$ ation.
