PRISON
LIFE
IN
GERMANY
Speaking
to
a
social
gathering
of
Labor-Progressive
members
and
sympathizers
at
a
social
gathering
held
in
his
honor
last
nieht.
Maurice
Rush,
visiting
provincial
organizer,
stated
he
had
found,
while
a
prisoner
of
war
in
Germany
last
year,
that
even
towards
Allied
prisoners
the
Nazi3
carried
pn
the
same
policies
on
which
they
had
built
their
regime.
"Those
policies,'
he
declared,
'were
based
heavily
on
dividing
and
playing
off
different
nationalities
and
on
stirring
up
race
hatred.
"For
example,
in
Ihc
great
camp,
of
20,000
men
where
I
was
kept,
all
the
different
nationalities
such
as
English-speaking,
French,
and
Russian
were
segregated
in
different
compounds
and
.the
Germans
tried
to
stir
up
one
group
against
the
other
by
offering
varying
concessions
from
week
to
week.
"As
regards
race
hatred,
they
conducted
systematic
interrogations
of
prisoners
which
were
little
more
than
propaganda
sessions
in
which
they
assiduously
tried
to
cultivate,
such
Ideas
as
that
international
Jewry
was
to
blame
for
the
war.
"Consequently,
it
Js
all
the
more
shocking
to
me
to
see
neoDle
In
Canada
wno
try
to
carry
on
the
same
policies."
In
answer
to
a
direct
question
I
on
the
future
of
Germany
after
I
Allied
occupation.
Rush
stated
he
was
convinced
Germany
j
would
never
again
threaten
the
i
peace
of
the
world.
"Provided,
of
:
course,
mat
we
unacrstana
'
that
the
key
to
the
question
Is
continued
unity
among
the
occupying
powers
for
the
complete
carrying
out
of
the
terms
of
the
Potsdam
declaration.
"The
great
estates
of
the
Junker
overlords
in
East
Prussia
are
being
turned
over
to
the
landless
peasantry,
destroying
the
economic
base
or
the
Prussian
caste
which
was
the
spearhead
of
German
Imperialism.
"This,
coupled
with
the
removal
of
German
heavy
industry
to
such
countries
as
Poland,
and
a
number
of
other
factors,
indicate
that
the
economic
life
of
Germany
and
all
Europe
Is
being
remolded."
