Today the coop way Enquire at your local coop JomSytem Dear John I think it is nearly two weeks since I last reported to you from London and it has certainly been an interestpacked interval The time has not been spent in the customary tourist manner of flitting from place to place seeing things I have been fairly stationery and it has given me a chance to observe people on the street and talk to them in their homes and it has been a most enlightening experi ence To tell you all that crossed my mind is impossible and it is very difficult to know what to tell as there is so much Perhaps geographical ap proach is best Prom London travelled by train to Harwich and there boarded the night boat SS Duke of which brought us into Hook van Holland at day break I have to confess that I crossed Holland without ever set ting foot on Dutch soil as I walk ed down the gang plank onto pavement which led directly into the customs office and then onto the train the Express It was the fastest and most modern train that have ever been on However I had to change to just the opposite slow noisy and dirty Customs and immigration were quite simple Two of the Germans in my train spoke fair English so they assisted by terpretting for officers whose English was not so good Immediately on crossing into Germany the leftovers of war became very apparent There was hardly a railway station that had not been damaged arid block after block of dwellings remain just as they were the wars end except that by now there are weeds and even trees grow ing out of the rubble- Most of these ruins are inhabi ted if they provide shelter of any kind at all and it is common to see washing hung on a balcony that has been made by having a roof blown off It is certainly a sight and regard less of who is to blame for ori ginating the war it wounds ones conscience deeply to look upon such things and have to say We did this Practically every German I have talked to takes the fatalistic view that a new war is inevit able They seem unanimous that neither Russia or US want war but that undoubtedly they will blunder into it sooner or later The common people here are de finitely sick of war and long for peace but because of this fear there is a definite revival of the old military spirit Apparently they take the view that if there is to bo war they may as well be prepared for it In the public band concerts you hear many of the old military marches and war songs a thing which would not have been pos sible as recently as two years ago so I am told and the people applaud heartily But there I am posing as an expert arid have ho right to do so Except for the bomb ruins one gets the impression of a leisurely but prosperous economy The people appear well dressed and fed and comparatively hap py Of course housing is an acute problem although recon struction is going on at a good rate However I am assured that a conservative minimum of time to complete reconstruction would years of peace and pros perity Goods in the stores are plenti ful and there is practically noth ing you cant buy if you have the money Things seem quite cheap to us due to the favorable rate of exchange but actually they expensive in terms of working hours and it is very dif ficult for people to save My host in Dortmund earned Marks a month slightly less- than but when you realize that he had to buy things at prices only a little lower than ours you can see his positions He fa civil engineer a fairly well paid job Laborers teachers and white collar workers receive consider ably less than that perhaps 300 l Oho thing I feel can pose as an expert on and that is Gor man hospitality Unquestionably there is great resentment towards Iho authoritarianism of America in current German affairs but I have found practically no signs of bitterness at having lost the war Trie people everywhere arc glad to talk to foreigners very courteous anxious to help us whenever we have We fcelthat we a burden on them by living In their homes eating their food and sleeping on their sofas spare bedrooms just dont exist any more but they want us to do so and it is certainly the best way to get to know how they feel about things Right now I am the sole occur pant of a flat belonging to a young woman whom I met for first time on Saturday She is away at work arid have key so that I may come and go as I please I also have to help myself to any food that I con find My point of contact was simply that I re marked to a friend that I was going to Frankfurt soon so she gave me a letter of introduction to a young man and assured me I would find htm most helpful His first remark to me was Rooms aire hard to get in Frank furt but you can stay with my fiance as her mother is away just now So I landed on her doorstep this morning at having come down oh the mid night train from Bad is getting too long and Bad could occupy a whole volume by itself but I must It is a beauti ful little town set in a valley amongst wooded hills with a sort of fringe of farms between the and the forest It is a very famous Spa or Bath and people come long distances for the cures of the special mineral waters and mud baths which are obtainable here It so peaceful and quiet there that it is hardly possible to be lieve there anything wrong with the world except for one thing -7- the veterans hospital It houses maimed or- crip pled veterans and in a town of only population they are very much in evidence with their canes crutches or wheel chairs The place military targets arid was completely un touched by the war My purpose in being there was to attend the Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends in Germany There were about people in a tendance of whom so were foreigners Due to recent tightening of bor der regulations only one mem ber had managed to get through from East Germany arid the sence of those friends was felt very strongly as they had ex pected felt there was a strong note of despair- running through the gathering which was accentuat ed by the large percentage of old people present However there was also a very strong determina tion to go on to practice and spread the Quaker testimonies on peace social problems and edu cation never quite giving up hope and faith I must close this now though there is much more I could say If all goes according to present plans next report should con tain the most interesting and important part of this whole European tour but must wait and see So long Stuart ML A Hort Soc Winner SON Our readers letters editor are but maxim of writer must be to the editor in The Editor A story in the news from London Reuters deals with a pamphlet is sued recently predicting that famine and pestilence will strike the world unless improvements can be made in the underde veloped countries Do you think the situation is in fact as dark as the above pic ture I am convinced that there are indeed myriads of underfed people in the socalled under developed countries but it seems to this reader that the problem is not beyond the powers of resourceful and in ventive men and women of good- will if only political condi tions possible to really put the shoulders of the human family behind that global food cart It is from tills angle that I favor the recent suggestion put forward by the nations organ ized farmers the desirr ability or feasibility of setting aside a small but definite per centage of the gargantuan de fense expenditures over the next few years to the purposes of building of what have been nutri tional munitions readily agree that these would be a powerful weapon either in peace or war and If factuallsed among the member nations Ie at the UN level might be the balance of power or the decisive factor in building international confidence and winning he peace- Frankly it scents to me that Jack Canuck if ho would can play a central role in steering the human family in this unique way toward food and peace ra ther than hunger and war Arc we prepared to made the effort that Is the question Apart entirely from the vital po tentialities in this this reader is definitely of opinion that I A percent cut In defense costs to be diverted alms of the worlds as opposed to the needs of the armies navies and air forces would still leave latter oxpendilures at make but slight oh overall product and that
