those words into the mouth of a little girl who went singing along in the early morning when ttie year was at the spring and the lark was on the wing in that peace ful morning hour with new life springing up around her she ex claimed gods in tiis heaven alls right with the world she was referring to the world of na ture as it appeared to her child mind and as it appears to us all on a bright spring morning before mankind is stirring and we havent read the morning paper in another part of the same poem browning wrote in the morning of the world when earth was nigher heaven than now wordsworth had a similar glim pse of things when he stood on westminster bridge at dawn and looking over the sleeping metro polis he exclaimed earth has not anything to show more fair but the mighty heart awoke the calm was broken and the vision of peace and beauty was dispelled these reflections were promoted by a glance at the front page of the morning paper which an nounced in big headlines the com ing of the hydrogen bomb the rest of the page was filled with news of international political and economic crises labor strikes mur ders divorces accidents etc etc and i exclaimed to myself what a world but there it is and what can we do about it in a moment of des pair we might be inclined to say bring on your hydrogen bombs and have done with it all over a hundred years ago shel ley

we all feel at times like jeremiah when he yearned to fly away to the wilderness and be at rest the modern expression of that feeling is in the popular song a home in the west but there is no escape particularly in these days of ubi quitous radio and even though we should cut ourselves olt from all communication we would take the world and all its troubles and prob lems with us the wilderness is not paradise enough for man cannot get away from himself shelley could not rule his own wild and lawless spirit and he would have been the last man to be content with the utopia he dreamed of in his early days he railed against religion and conventional morality against capitalism and kings and ministers of stale who he declared were the real authors of human calamities he advocated republic anism as the remedy for wars and all social ills what would lie think of the soviet socialist re public of today in another place he blamed all the troubles of man kind on the eating of meat and sug gested that if napoleon had des cended from a race of vegetable feeders he could not have had the inclination or the power to ascend the throne of the bourbons these may have been the ravings of a young rebellious spirit but they are no different from the dis ordered ideas abroad in the world today which are responsible for what has been called the world disorder if all is wrong with the

wrote last week we were in denmark now we have crossed over the border into allied occu pied germany leaving copenha gen the danish capital to enter hamburg once one of the most important seaports of the world and now the chief city of this part of germany is like stepping out of a tidy parlor into a kitchen after it has been struck by a cyclone but before 1 launch into an ac count of our twoday tour of post war germany id like to mention a few more points of interest about our stay in denmark while the danes had to put up with plenty of hardships ineludin dislocation of their export trade when the nazis overran their country they did not suiter as much as some other european countries today agricultural pro duction in denmark is only limit ed by the danes ability to grow and buy fodder for their livestock from what 1 could learn agricul ture is pretty well back to the pre war level there is still some war damage- to be seen in denmark perhaps one of the most amazing war sou venirs is a building in the heart of copenhagen it was the gestapo headquarters during the occupa tion and one day a couple of raf light bombers swooped down with in a few hundred feet of it and let go their bombs so accurate was the pinpoint bombing that the bombs landed dead in the centre of the building all the houses around remained intact while the exploding bombs wrecked the in terior of the building the walls still stand for all to see during our tour of denmark we also managed to visit a cooperative dairy two royal castles frederiks berg and the elsinore of hamlet and a folk school which was one of fifty for which denmark is fam ous the most ancient point we visited was an old viking temple which we were told was 200 years old when columbus sailed to america but to get back to germany from the time we crossed the danishgerman border at schles- wigholstein the last name should be familiar to a certain cattle breeders association back home we saw evidence of war damage on all sides it increased as we approach ed hamburg and in that city we saw what it means to a country to lose a war hamburg where we made our headquarters is a weird mixture it has been called the city of the living and the dead it was once europes greatest port and the greatest shipbuilding centre in germany here the nazis built most of their submarine fleet and constructed great repair snaps to service their merchant fleet as a result it was one of the main targets for the air forces to day most of the city lies in rubble with more than 50 ier cent of the homes destroyed the submarine worksvhave been blasted and the shipbuilding plants are practically crippled the thousandplane air raids did so much damage that the people still havent managed to dig out all of their dead from under the piles of debris but life goes oa in spite of the ruin and destruc tion in some respects the germans have managed to make a remark able recovery with the exception of coffee and a few minor things there is no rationing people do not seem to have any difficulty getting foodstuffs or gasoline or anything for that matter as long as they have the marks to pay out in ham burg the stores are filled with goods and i was able to get films there that 1 couldnt get in eng land but prices are very high and wages are very low the people have to choose between eating well or being well clothed for they just havent the money for both if they have families they choose the food even in the best hotels we saw very few well dressed people there is considerable unemploy ment in the cities a condition that is made worse by the fact that an estimated 12000000 refugees from eastern germany mostly older men and women and children have moved into western germany and more arrive every day on the farms we saw few ma chines we did not see any milking machines as you have probably guessed there is little need of laborsaving machines when human labor is so plentiful they have three times as many hands on the farms here as we have at home most of the cattle we saw on the farms here are friesian we were not too impressed with them but no doubt we did not see the best herds but we did see some good hogs which are shorter and thicker than the danish hogs and are marketed at heavier weight our guides were james parlane agricultural advisor to the military government and dr carl redder of esso they drove us to north germany to inspect the dairy dis tricts which are about so miles south of hamburg we also saw thousands of acres of reforested land mostly pine and spruce they had all been handplanted in light soil some of the trees were large enough that they were being cut dr redder told me much of this is privately owned and is being handled as a crop it might interest you to know that hamburg is only 20 miles fpom the russian patrols we didnt try to cross it has been quite an experiece visiting germany but we are look ing forward to our next country which is holland the land of the windmills after that we return t the united kingdom and a visit to northern ireland where jim eccle and ron marquis will take part im some of the plowing matches thqr are really eager to get into it al though it will be our last function before we return home ill tell you more in my next letter ogoffl forvalue
