The FOTO-NOTE this week focuses on Cpl.
David J. Mackey, postal clerk at Camp Monmouth.
This is his SECOND war. June 6,
1917, found him, in the U. S.
Navy, a Coxswain aboard the D.
S. S. Aroostook, a minesweeper
ploughing the North Sea between
Scotland and Norway. Dave saw
plenty of action in that war,
his ship being engaged in four
major sea battles—being award-
ed two of the highly coveted Gold Star awards
for the bagging of two German submarines. He
came out of that war in 1919 as a Boatswain's
Mate. In August 1942, he entered his second
war. Between wars Cpl. Mackey was a rural mail
carrier and also did some sleuthing for the
Police Department in Omaha, his home. After
this war he thinks he may try something else,
maybe a email busineaa of his own.

01 OPINION
__IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION i "WHAT SHOULD WE
DO WITH A DEFEATED GERMANY?"
EDITOR, WHITE FALCON:
There cam be no denying that this is going to be a
highly important and difficult problem.
The idea of national annihilation is, of course, out
of the question - it being totally inhuman and imposs-
ible. The argument that the Nazis themselves tried
that on smaller nations, and therefore deserve a "dose
of their own medicine," is weak because that is the
thing for whioh we are fighting to rid the world. And
if we were to attempt it, we would be lowering oursel-
ves to the same barbaric standard. Remember the old
axiom - "Two 'wrongs' do not make a 'right.'"
What then should we do?
defeat what the Nazi propagandists have so well in-
stilled in the average German mind. This will take not
merely words, but actual example on our part. They
will have to see with their own eyes, that tfce Yanks
are not as grotesque as they had been led to believe
and that democracy does work suocessfv" ly.
Now, what of the political and economic problems in-
volved? Logioally, for sn indefinite period, a govern-
ment made up of representatives of the Allied nat-
ions would have tc pt;<-ail. This would be during the
"turn-over" period - Iron Naziism to a government of
the people's choosing "’he length of time it would
take for this trens: on would be determined by the
Allied go-ernmeat?«
From here on, and inaeimitely, all countries would
be "kept in line" by an in+ irnational -rani cation.

For the past ten years or more. Dr. Goebbels has
been filling the minds of the German public with dis-
torted "facts" about the Arnerioan peoplo, American
democracy and the Amerioan standard of living. He has
backed up these lies with authentic piotures, showing
only the poor and wioked side of life in America. Be-
cause of all of this false propaganda, it is little
wonder that most of the people in Germany think them-
selves so much better than, and even despise, Ameri-
cans.
—IN RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION i ‘'DO YOU THINK
THAT U.S, ENLISTED MEN SHOULD BE REQUIRED
TO SALUTE CAPTURED GERMAN OFFICERS?"
EDITOR, WHITE FALCON :
If and whan saluting enemy officers is going to be
sanctioned by the War Department, I, for one, shall be
Court Martialed for insubordination and nonrespeot to
