â€" _ German Prisoners of War _â€" Contribute to War Fund I Also the many Arab states, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria as . well as Egypt and Iran, want indeâ€" pendence from British, French or Russian domination.‘" Neither do they desire American domination. Each of these four great powers has economic interests in the Arab ... torld; gach in one.way .or another, Americaâ€"included, is playing a dangerous game.in dominating or directing certain aspects of the naâ€" tional life of these countries whose passion for independence smacks ~ some of the Americanism of 1776. years," ‘wete the. words of the spokesman <representing German prisoners of war at Ft. Sheridan, as he turned over $836.17 to the Community War Fund last week. This sum represented nearly 99c given by each of the 8723 prisonâ€" @rs, in the form of canteen couâ€" pons, earned for work done while in prison camp, according to Brig. Gen. John Pierce, Ft. Sheridan commanding general. ; "We, as German prisoners of war, have the heartfelt desire that this relief organization of the American people will not withhold its aid from the suffering German women and children, especially as our children, â€" like kids all the world over, have no knowledge of and no responsibility for the poâ€" litical happenings of the past The United States today is rich in dividends of friendship around the world. We should utilize these dividends now; our leadership, our sound judgment, our sense of fair play, our insistence at times should be brought into play in troubleâ€" areas before they develop into war zones, . Positive action now can prevent punitive expeditions toâ€" morrow! Unused, these dividends mean little, but utilized, today, they can mean very much indeed. Before leaving Egypt, I issued a press release calling upon Washingâ€" ton to act now in selling to ready buyers in Europe and Asia the vast supplies of civilianâ€"use surplus war equipment (trucks, jeeps, planes, cars, etc.) now gathering dust and dirt in their warâ€"end location. Each week the market for these supplies is less active; each week the price we can get is smaller; each week the demand dwindles for what we do not need and canâ€" not transport home. â€" Real savings to American taxpayers will ensue of we get action now in selling these supplies as well as lendâ€"lease equipment which we still have in these areas. Thus far, United Nations conâ€" ferences and charters have neatly dodged the underlying factors of discontent in the Balkans. On Dollars and Dividends Among the Balkan countries, too, we found Great Powers using little nations almost like pawns upâ€" on a chess board. Here, too, uneasâ€" iness is the order of the day. Amâ€" erica is less directly involved in the "bid and barter" game of the Balkans for economic and political advantage, but the results of bad guesswork might whip out to enâ€" gulf us in a conflict again as they didâ€"in 1914. The witch‘s brew which today intoxicates. the Balâ€" kan#is a potent poison! Should uneasiness and restlessâ€" ness and resentment break out in warfare and should each "guardâ€" ian" Big Power. help its "ward," the interests of the great nations might well clash and another small war swell into a global conflict. It is a situation for which a workaâ€" ble and equitable remedy must be found. This reporter and his comâ€" mittee will make some recommenâ€" dations to President Truman and our Foreign ~Affairsâ€" committee. The Bloody Balkans * ies here between Arab partisans and Jewish partisans each passionâ€" ately believing that Palestine is trovery is Should the Jews be given Palestine as a homeâ€" land and an independent Jewish State or should the Arabs be perâ€" mitted to retain it as part of what they call their Arab world? Great Britain, having precipitated the controversy during..World .War. has been exercising a mandate ovâ€" er Palestine. Gre@t Britain has been at different times first on the Jewish side and then on the Arab side of the question. She now wants to refer the problem to the United Nations. 1944 was to be "the year of decision‘" on the question but nothing has been definitely decidâ€" ed. Neither side is satisfied, Acâ€" cusations fly fast and there is acute danger of Arab uprising and bloodâ€" shed. The Jews, too, have arms and their case has merit. At the moment, America is the most popular "outsider" in this area. In some réspects we are the smallest offender but in one regard we are the most flagrant.
