BRITISH SEEK T0 RE-EDUCATE GERMAN PEOPLE Allow German Editors Run Own Newspapers Under License By ROSS MUNRO (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Berlin, Sept. 2.--(C®)--Through the German press, radic, books and entertainment, British control com- mission leaders are seeking to re- establish democratic thinking and the democratic way of life among 22,000,000 German in the British zone. Stress is'1aid on the function and 'importance of newspapers and 34 papas now are running under Brit control. Allotted 1,50 tons of newsprint a month, these four-page |' dailies have a total circulation of about 4,500,000, providing approxi mately one paper for every five Germans. With the exception of one Brit- ish daily. in Hamburg with a circu- lation of 250,000 daily, all papers are run by Germans and operate under British licence. The chief difficulty facing the British in- formation organization which han- dles newspaper problems is to get capable Germans to run German papers. % {The largest British licensed Ger- mian paper is the Berlin Telegraph, a Socialist sheet with circulation of more than 400,000 daily.' This is larger than any Russian licensed Communist paper in Germany. The Telegraph wields tremendous in- fluence in Berlin where the current conflict between Communists and Socialists focuses. "Papers operating under British licence include 12 Socialist, seven Christian Democrat and two Com- munist. The remainder are either non-party or run by small groups. .. In explaining the newspaper situ- ation to Empire Press Union dele- ates here British officials sald censed papers are not censored when being published but teams of , British officers keep an eye on what is printed and check up edi- tors who go too far. Editors are told not to publish anything severely critical of other Allied powers. Criticism of the British is permitted in some degree but more scope for criticism is allowed in regard to military gov- ernment. y German-operated papers have not caused the British any. serious trouble and editors have had to be removed so far. Papers give considerable space to foreign news which they receive by wire from the British-sponsored German news service carrying 30,- 000 to 40,000 words a day. . In the radio field the main sta- tion of the British zone is at Ham- burg which has one 100-kilowatt transmitter and three subsidiary ones. This Hamburg station was one from which Lord Haw-Haw broadcast the war. Broadcasting not yet been handed over to the Germans and % eliminate the deep-seated imbued by the Nazis that all news ) and all broadcasts are simply pro- = " paganda. The British hope eventually to 40 information centres te the one and in Berlin where the Germans can get news- magazines and books giving ormation on democracy and the British Commonwealth. i -------- GORDONPASCOE TO ENTER UNIVERSITY Secured First Class Honor Standing In Depart. mental Examinations (Gladys Yellowless, Corr.)

And even if the factories, following the Labor Day holiday, can move to- ward capacity output for the mainder of the year, they are bound to wind up 1946 still 1,500,000 pas- senger units behind original pro- Jections. What the production shortage means converted into dollar volume can only be guessed at. It seems like a safe assumption, however, that the Yotal gross business of the manufacturers and their merchan- dise division will be considerably more than $3,000,000,000 below what it would have been had there been no interruptions to production this year.

With an estimated output to date of a little under 550,000, volumes is only slightly below the best year in the truek manufacturers' history. During the first eight months of 1037 the truck builders completed 662,753 units. The total for this year probably will go well over 900,000 to compare with the 1937 total of 947,502. NAZI PROPAGANDA WEAKENED FORCES OF MIHAILOVIGH British Officer Tells of Resistance Collapse and Civil War By THE CANADIAN PRESS One of the last and most com- plete victories of the German pro- paganda machine is described by Col. Jasper Rootham in "Miss Fire," (Oxford University Press) an ac- count of a year spent in Yugoslavia as a member of one of the British missions accredited to Gen. Draja Mihailovich to strengthen Chetnik resistance. Dropped by parachute in north- eastern Serbia in May, 1943, Col. Rootham was with the Chetniks during a period when deteriorating relations between Mihailovich and Marshal Tito's Partisans combined with supply problems to bring about the decline of Mihailovich's power, The author makes no attempt to analyze the complex political pic- ture in the Balkans which eventu- ally led to the execution of Mihailo- vich and a number of his aides on charges of collaboration with the Germans. He represents the Chetnik lead- ers in his areas as sincergly opposed to the Nazis but at the same time uncompromisingly hostile to Com- munism and the Partisan move- ment and unwilling to jeopardize the lives of the people in their area by engaging in large-scale opera- tions against the Germans until they were assured of substantial British su] t, The Bri on the other hand, were unwilling to gamble too heav- ily on Mihaiflovich until they were assured that he was more interest- ed in fighting Germans than Par- tisans. Finally, suspecting him of collaborationist activity, they with- drew their missions to the Chetniks and gave all their support to Tito. The Germans took shrewd ad- vantage of Chetnik-Partisan anti- pathy, often driving a guerrilla force into the other faction's terri- tory to provoke a battle between them. The Germans also made the most of lack of British support for the guerrillas, and the myth of a "Perfidious Albion" that exploited Yugoslavas to her own ends gained considerable ground. The author saw no evidence of actual collaboration with the Ger- mans on the part of the Chetniks with whom he was associated al- though they occasionally co-oper- ated with Serbian Quisling forces in fighting the Partisans. Toward the end of his stay, the Germans adopted a policy of 'non-interfer- ence with the Chetniks which freed their hands for battles against the Partisans. ; . Members of the British missions made repeated efforts to stop the civil war but propaganda on both sides was too strong. However, Col. Rootham tells of isolated instances in which liberated Russian prison- ers fought beside the Chetniks in actions against the Germans. The author makes no attempt to assess the blame for the failure of the Chetnik movement. And he pays tribute to the thousands of gallant men, Chetniks and Partis- ans alike, who fought the Germans, not merely from motives of self- preservation or revenge but "a queer feeling that they had a right THE TIMES-GAZETTE Tuesday, September 3, 1046 % to be somebody and the Germans wanted them to be nobody."
