[European Commentary]. Matthew Halton reflects on the great Allied victories of a year ago, then analyses the efforts at the democratization of Germany in the British zone during the past year. He comments on British difficulties including:~Food shortages which have meant a cut in German rations to one-thousand calories per day (uninformed Germans believe the British intend to starve them) and this is in spite of the use of food intended for British use.~Not one German in ten will admit to any responsibility for the war. He cites one indignant comment: "Now the British are saying we started the war".~There is no history of democracy in Germany.~There is no consistent Allied plan concerning the occupation of Germany. No one knows how long the Allied occupation forces will remain.~The problem of getting local councils to take responsibility for the finances of their areas.~The education of young people with the scarcity of non-Nazi, teachers for the twelve-thousand schools which have been re-opened.~Trade unions have been re-established and twenty-eight newspapers have been established in the British zone, in spite of difficulties in finding non-Nazi journalists.~The administrative officials in the British zone say that the civilization and democratization of Germany would be much easier if the Allies planned to stay longer in Germany.~Halton singles out the Canadians for their withdrawal from Germany at a time when their presence is particularly necessary to ensure the future of European peace. <7mn>
