guarantee the world of tomor-
row against war and for the
speedy trial of the war criminals.
With these appeals there was
linked the news, released by Zhu-
kov’s consent in Berlin, thatthe
Soviet occupation authorities had.
authorized the re-creation of all
anti fascist people’s - organiza-’
tions and genuine trade unions’

in that part of Germany under
their control.

This represented tremendous
news, justifying more display
than it got in the commercial
press. It has long been apparent
to those thinking the matter out
that. the rebuilding of the Ger-
man working class would be the
great guarantee of the revamp-
ing of German life. The Nazi
“unions” would have to be wiped
out and genuine workers’ trade.
unions restored, with freedom of.
all anti-fascist
organizations under military ob-
servation.

NEED FOR REAL. UNIONS

The revised trade unions would
be a big aid in wiping out the
“werewolves” and in annihilat-
ing the last remnants of the
Nazi regime or those who aided
it _secretly....They would be a
source of cooperation to which
the Allied. Control. Council could

life and practices among the
That ~ expectation,, a
sound one, was based on the
character of the organized work-
ing people as the most funda-
mental enemies of fascist oppres-
sion.

Zhukov’s announcement of
June 10, then, brings a dynamic
possibility into the German pic-
ture—trade unions _and people’s
organizations, carefully scanned
for provocateurs, of course, as
they grow stronger, but capable
of killing fascism at its roots in
the former Reich. © :

It’s regrettable that the Ang |
lo-American authorities, on their
part, do not seem to have been
ready to make a similar an-
nouncement. There has been
none, at least, forthcoming. Inde-
pendent political activity seems
to be prohibited or at least

frowned upon in Allied occupied
territory.

A little thought on the matter
will lead the American people to
hope that a similar policy to that
followed by the Soviet Union
will become the rule. with the
Anglo American authorities as
well. That attitude, roughly pro-
ceeds mercilessly to try and
punish the Nazis and their allies.
Zhukov made a point to state on
June 10 that the Soviets had
preceeded to put on trial and
punish war- criminals, appealing
that such procedure prevail ev-

#o-American attitude’on the disciplining of Germany,

of iron against the Nazis, the So-
wiet representatives seek to-en-
courage the building up of. the
| organiza-

dotes to fascism.

Hithérto the Anglo-American
authorities on the war trials com-
mission have been as slow -in
moving against the Goerings and
von Keitéls and Krupps as the
military ' representatives have
been to. allow trade union ex-
pression. Justice Jackson’s re-
portsis.a good one, then, in that
: some degree

which certain selfish interests
were Strangling the war trials.

Jacksons’ report smashes the
idea that the Nazi leaders can-
not be tried, since they are heads
of states. That has been a falsé
Municheering dodge, particularly
popular in London. Nazi ag-
gression in itself, the Justice
says, is a crime against inter-
national law. Those high figures
who formulated such criminal
policies must face punishment.

NO NAMES GIVEN

The Justice’s report still falls
short in that it deals only in
generalities. It refuses to name
any names. The American people
are entitled to know when Goer-
ing will be tried, and so with the
heads of thee Nazi war machine,
the members of the German gen
eral staff and the big industrial-
ists who conspired to= bring ~Hit-
ler to power .and +to impose his
bloody rule on the. world. What,
too, is to be done about making

Franco disgorge Laval? And
so with.other Nazis and quis-
lings. .

The people can be strengthen-
ed in, their determination to see
that fascism is wiped out from
these current events. The report
of Jackson and the statement
by Pauley came about because
the people want to hear such
reports and pledges. If the Ger
man industrialists, those giant
monopolists who nursed Hitler
into power and gave him every
aid to cover the world with blood,
were allowed to escape punish-
ment and confiscation, then the
American people would recog-
nize such action as a betrayal.
The fact that the President’s
representative, Pauley, plans to
“remove or destroy” German
heavy industry is healthy and
refreshing. What the people
Want to see is some of these
pledges—all of them — carried
cut as set down as the goal, of
the agreement at Yalta.

' These recent events give a tip
to American labor, in particular
to “say its piece” for the revival
of genuine trade unions in Ger-
many, the resuscitation of demo-
cratic people’s ‘organizations
along with the crushing of the
Nazi remnants. The foundation
Stone of such a course of action,
labor can also stress, must be
the continued unity of the Big
Four—and above all, the deep
ening of American-Soviet friend-
ship and understanding.
