- Can you get them to say, "We Were Wrong"?
- What good will it do to tear down the Nazis' triumphal arches, if all millions of sullen men and boys still hold them in sacred memory?
- What good will it do to burn the banners of cloth-of-gold and black velvet, if the whirling swastika is cut forever on German hearts?
- What good will it do to stand Hitler up before a firing squad, if another unknown little corporal, looking on, grinds his teeth, and mutters, "You dummkopfs will forget . . . but we Germans—never!"
- You and your family will never be safe . . . the peace of your country and the world will never be safe . . . as long as one of the most fierce and fertile tribes on this planet continues to believe that it should, and eventually can, conquer and rule the others.
- What are you going to do about it?
- We at TIME believe that it is every citizen's obligation to think this problem through. It is not TIME's role to crusade for any solution, but it definitely is TIME's obligation to give thoughtful people the information and facts they need to form intelligent opinions.
- On two broad ideas there is general agreement—1. we want no more easy sentimentality about "the goodhearted German people" . . . 2. on the other hand, we cannot exterminate the German people without making ourselves into Himmlers.
- But when the time comes to get specific, do we know the facts necessary to have an opinion on such clamoring questions as:
- 1. Who is to re-educate the German people? . . . Teachers imported from the United Nations? . . . Repatriated refugee Germans of democratic faith? . . . Or are there enough democratic Germans left inside Germany to do the job? Will our attempts to educate Nazism out of German minds boomerang—cause so much resentment we shall actually stimulate German nationalism?
- 2. What should be done with Germany's heavy industry, her actual and potential war plants? . . . Should they be permanently dismantled? . . . Should they be operated by the United Nations? . . . Should they be operated by Germans under tight United Nations' surveillance?
- 3. How are we to get back Germany's intangible "loot"—the phony ownership her citizens have acquired in every company and corporation worth taking over in Europe?
- Different ways of answering these questions will soon come before the public from men (elected and appointed) whose job it is to know all about such problems. When that time comes the reaction of public opinion will have much to do with the plan finally adopted.
- Will American public opinion be informed—prepared to throw the weight of its approval on the side of the wisest choice? Will you be informed?
- If your only answer to this personally vital question is "I don't know," your answer isn't quite good enough—not in times like these when America and the world need all the informed mindpower democracy can muster.
- TIME believes America's greatest need, now and in the coming years, is for the sovereign people to make up their minds and speak them out.
- To do so, citizens must keep themselves informed. So, in advertisements like this, TIME is seeking to encourage wide thinking and reading not only of the newspapers and TIME, but also of books and periodicals that argue the cases and advance the causes that are in the news.
- For TIME's own future is unalterably linked to a U. S. citizenry deeply concerned about public affairs—to a nation insistent upon seeking the truth and learning from recorded experience.
