A fine tribute to the late Mr. F. B. Live- eay, former general manager of The Canadian Press, appears in the form of a neatly publish- ed booklet of some fifty pagcs dedicated “t0 the memory of a great iiewspaperinan" and presented “to his friends zizid associates by the editors and publishers of The Ulirtwa Journal." The author, Hr. I. Norman Smith, now with the journal, forntcrly sei-vtd under Mr. Live- say with The (iiiiiadian llrcss both in Canada and England.

The obliteration of Nazilsm and German militarism ls among our declared war aim. Eisenhower could therefore not; have omitted this clause from liLs proclama- tion. But until now there nas been no expressed Allied intention to reform the German school sys- tem which, under Hitler, has been the principal means of lnculcatlng Naztlsm in the hearts .of German youth.

It has been argued, particularly in Britain, that; if the Germans tire lo be made a democratic people and brought into the comlty of civiliz- ed nations. if mdltarlsm is to be made in their minds the evil thing it has been in reality, the schools must. be the starting po nt. We cannot begin the process too soon. and doubtless the Allied Advisory Commission or some other body at experts has already worked out the details of procedure.

If it had been our purpose to make peace eventually wrh some German government other than the Nazi, some dlffculty might; have been experienced tn regulat- ing the schools and universities. The Moscow Declaration clearly foreshadowed such a purpose, be- cause it spoke of an armlsrce that: might be granted to any govern- ment “which may be set tip in Germany." But events have mov- ed swiftly since the Moscow Con- ference and recently Mr, Cllurehlll envisaged no formal armistice but a gradual sujugnfon of the Reich by Allied armies. The Prime Min- lster foresaw the possibility of Nazi forces going underground, or contiiiu rig to fight. as guerlllas in the forests and mountains.
