We sec no crumb of comfort for an ambitious Nazi in the I'otsdam decisions announced by the Big Three.

It was a totfgrv 7,500-word

ions and a dcrhocratic ling. It was not a Carthaginian peace, a peace where German soil would be sowed with salt to exterminate the people. It made clear that the world holds the German people responsible for" supporting a government anc leaders who perpetrated World War II with all its - accompanying atrocities. " This is a democratic. concept that power is vested h the people, and therefore people are responsible for th( strength and weaknesses of their governments.' Yet hope if held out to-the German people that they may re-enter, tht family of nations when they have demonstrated by demo cialic means that they can maintain law and order snd jus tice and decency and the ability to live at peace with the: nations, :.'..'.''-,; :. This democratic refrain has been in the communiques or all the Big Three meetings starting at Teheran. It -has not been too conspicuous for fear that a tired world would saj

that it 'remembered slogans like "The War to Save the World for Democracy." - - ' But Woodrow Wilson who coined such phrases, would find happiness in the. documents of each succeeding inter national meeting; More and more the Big Three, the Big Five and the still bigger United .Nations have recognized that power is and must be vested in the people. The people have the final veto- power over their statesmen. That is why the words from Potsdam are meaningless unless the peoples ol the United Nations .finally approve them, and 'support them. 1 The results of the British election announced only a week ago are apparent in the Potsdam statement, especially in the blunt pointing to Franco of Spain as a menace to the ideals and aims of the .United Nations. . ... ' Defeat of the Conservatives in England will mean a new

deal for progressive forces on

new British government takes seriously freedom of speech, rand press and religion It is willing to compete with '.the Communists in teaching the art of . self-government to Europeans including the Germans at the local level until a . central government is established. r ' . - ' We can all take courage in seeing more and more international meetings where tough, sticky problems are tackled, and many times resolved. The old diplomacy has given way to a newer and more democratic type. The old type diplomats were conspicuous by their absence at Potsdam. Most, of the men there .were of the people. It is natural for them to defei so many of their decisions to the people. ' :

"The Forgotten Fleet

J?'! SYNOPSIS At the request of Geneva Benet, daughter of Captain Benet , in charge of a fleet of obsolete vessels lying at anchor in the Chesapeake, Donald Colby, an ex-soldier, takes the job aa watchman, despite the fact that three predecessors have mysteriously disappeared. As Colby, Geneva, and Dutton, another watchman,, approach the "Monticello," on which the girl lives with her father, three shots and a scream rent the air. The captain is not aboard. Colby and Mears, watchman of the "Mount Vernon," find him in a cabin of that ship, dying from a bullet wound. Asked who shot him, the captain's eyes turn to the figure of a dead man sprawled on the staircase nearby. Suddenly, a sound issues from the passageway.. Mears douses his flashlight. A figure appears and Colby tackles it. A jet of flame spews forth and in its light Colby is stunned to see the features of Geneva.:. Why was he;on.th "Mount Vernon" and why had she" fired! the automatic? The girl claims she thought he was "the others." Colby snaps "Don't iiet You knew we were going to search the, 'Mount Vernon'.' Upon seeing Captain Benet, Geneva calls himt. "Connolly" and faints. Connolly dies. Colby, suspicious of everyone, relieves Mears of his gun and orders him to take Geneva to her cabin. In the smoking room Colby finds a jimmy and a ehisel. He wonders how much Mears knows. Colby goes to see ifa key numbered 313, found on the Strang, er, fits Cabin 313.. As he approaches Cabin 291, someone fires at him. Shortly after, Mears appears with the jiews that the. other watchmen have deserted, taking the only rowboat. Back, on the "Monticello," Colby iorces Geneva to accompany him to Connolly's cabin. "Why did you pretend that old roughneck Connolly, was your father?", "He was my father," the girl replies. ' CHAPTER IX "Now look here," Colby bes;an in a soft, dangerous voice, "you may think it's a very funny thing to jet a man into a mesa like this and let him. blunder around .'till-.he gats knocked off, but I don't see it that way, (let me?" ; ; "I don't trust you," the girl flung at him. . "I'll tell you nothing." "Thanks." He leaned forward. ''But it happens I've developed," he shot her a quick glance, "an interest in this business. There s 'money in it somewhere. Men seldom kill each other for anything else. I like money. See? Now, Sister, you're going 'to come across with ; what this is all about or dse-"-.. . "You can go to. the devil,' succinctly replied Geneva Benet. "Okay, Sister." . . Ths man in the uniform coat got up. tossed his peaked cap aside and unhooked tha high, green trimmed collar. . ' - - ,; "You've got a funny way of looking at things,", he observed, "when two men have been murdered tonight and I've just missed making a third. Now, either you'll talk willingly or I'm going to. hurt you until you do." .,, . , , ...."You,, wouldn't dare!" the girl blazed at him as she stood outlined against the white panelling, "Don't bet on it. I'm not fussy what I do when my hide's in danger for no good reason. Are you going to talk?", . . ' ".No!". The word burst from her lips as propelled by an explosive. . He could not but admire her courage, and she certainly made a strangely appealing figure as she stood there with eyes ablaze and with thin nostrils opening and shutting sharply. But still the sound of that silencered bullet was sharp in his memory. Like a fox upon a rabbit, the lean ex-soldier . was upon, her and his fingers were exerting an agonizing pressure upon Jicr left arm. She swayed weakly and he promptly released her. : " ", ", j , "Oh-h you devil she choked and dabbed at overflowing eyes. "That that's enough.- You're brute enough for anything." : - . "So you've got some sense after all?" Golbv grunted and resumed his seat.' "Now let's get the lowdown." ' ' .. Making an obvious effort to pull herself together, Geneva Benet sank onto a green upholstered settee opposite the scarred ex-soldier, produced a package ot cigarettes .and with trembling fingers lit one. . -.."The . whole story is in , that drawer." She nodded to the capjjjJeslCeocsd from tht top.

of how the bogus Baron von Ehrenbrait, and his accomplice called Kraus. by frequently chanjriner their names succeeded in dropping from sight lor a tune. On other pages time dimmed photographs of K. Corliss Benet. of "Chateaudim," his Newport estate, of an aristocratic looking woman regarding twin babies jn a summer perambulator, and of a big eyed, long legged girl at her side. These, so the article stated, were Mrs. K. Corliss 1 Benet and Miss Geneva Benet. ;Vhile the wind ro?e and commenced to sigh softly about the bare frame of the old liner's bridge, Colby scanned . further articles which described how. Inspector Daniel Connolly of the Burns Bureau had been paid to take up the trail once the Metropolitan police had admitted their failure. The girl smoked in silence, her gray eyes rivetted as if in speculation on that hard bitten figure across the cabin. ' ... "Very interesting," Colby remarked. "And as our time's short, suppose you tell me the rest of it. Why did you and Connolly come down to this forsaken hole?" . With great deliberation Geneva Benet ground out her cigarette butt in a handsome bronze ash tray. "Probably for the same reason you did." . Colby frowned. "Never mind riddles;" , ... "Well, Connolly got on Von Ehrenbreit'a trail, but couldn't catch up.-Just too late h9 learned that Kraus and-Ehrenbreit had sailed for Europe, presumably taking my mother's jewels with them. It was one of tha big disappointments of Connolly's life Connolly tried to extradite them, of course, but the German, police wanted - them on other charges. They were arrested as soon as their ship reached German territorial waters, but " The ex-soldier s head inclined shortly. "But the police found no jewels on them. Was that it?" "Yes. Connolly was absolutely certain that they ' had embarked with them, 80 he argued that -my

"Needs must," she said and a shadow crossed the girl's face. "Connolly was down and out and so was I almost. He took to drink just before we got in the war, bungled a spectacular case ami was tired. He pulled himself together and tried to come back, but it was too late, nobody would hire him." Geneva Benet sighed. "So Connolly wht had been one of the smar'est detectives in the country, began taking odd jobs as a night watchman." "Yes, but that doesn't explain about you." - Her eyes wandered to a mural depicting a Phoenician galley in full saii. - " . , .n'... . ""V --pi.'j.y'r' L "siZr 'Oh, you've heard the storv a great many times. My father was wiped out in the Crash. About iie months later he fell," she looked at him squarely in the eyes as she said it, "from his office sindow. My mother is an invalid and Polly and Inez, the twins, aren't old enough tc work, even if they could rind jobs which they 'can't. I had just lost the job I had at a third rate department store when I bumped into Connolly in the subway one day. I told him how desperate . I was. We we really were hungry sometimes." , Colby slouching deep in his chair watched shadows deepen on that sensitive face across the . room "Connolly told me he'd been having a hard time of it, too. He said he had been looking all over for me " Geneva Benet plucked another cigarette from her badly crumpled package and went on, her gaze now fixed on a sot of brass speaking tubes beyond Colby's narrow dark red head. "Go on," the latter invited with not a trace of reaction visible on his scarred features. "To cut a long story short,' Con. nolly had always kept track of tht.se two thieves hoped to redeem his reputation by recovering mother's jewels, you see. Well, he learned just before the war broke out that Kraus and Ehrenbreit had been sentenced to twenty years at hard labor in a Berlin prison and in Germany that means twenty year" Connolly figured that. they would be due for release about five months ago. He was sure they'd hunt ur the Kronprimessin Ceeelie to look for Mother's jewels." Geneva Benet paused to light her cigarette. "In the old days the loss meant nothing; but now two hundred and fifty thousand dollars Oh Lord!" -- "You're telling me?" commented Colby with a faint smile. "Well, it seemed like the onb thing to do. so we looked and looked but we had no luck." Desperation rang, in Geneva Benet's tone, . .
