IF Dietmar did not exist, Goebbels would have had to invent him.

Indeed, until some time age, when the Germans furnished the world with a few prove that Dietmar was' flesh and blood, he was widely believed to be only a product of Goebbels's inventive genius; a name and a voice, a mouthpiece for propaganda. That he exists, a wheel in the German propaganda machine, became clear when, after having become a success particularly audiences abroad, he was elevated from the rank of the German Radio "specialists" who go on the air at 7 p.m. to the circle of the fully-fledged propagandists performing at 7.45 Inst before the main daily news bulletin.

This became the general's favourite tune; until like Lili Marlene it was best forgotten. At present Dietmar is a little uncertain; Clause witz laid down no rules for revolting generals. The veneer of his military jargon is wearing thin.

Through it the cruder colours of Nazi intentions show up distinctly. Dietmar is definitely one of Dr. Goebbels's front-room boys, and there is none of that lot whose moral standards are higher than those of a souteneur.

It would not, of course, of itself guarantee that better their meetings spun out in length because they are too large to do their work efficiently and quickly. The proposal that all councillors should resign meets the objection that there must be delay because a rearrangement of the wards must follow the redistribution of.

Parliamentary divisions recommended by the Speaker's Conference. After that rearrangement, a complete local election would be necessary in any case. But redistribution will affect only a comparatively small number of Parliamentary divisions. What- is men would come forward. One result ot the current survey of the structure of local government, limited though it is, will almost certainly be that the bigger authorities will acquire more powers, and that certain smaller authorities will either be amalgamated with them or lose all but modest parish-pump "YHILE the Government and local authorities are discussing the overhaul of the structure of local government, without any intention of doing anything very drastic about it, the valuable suggestion has come up spontaneously that all municipal councils, aldermen and all, should resign, so as to allow for the import of new and fresh minds into local administration.

The problem is urgent. To adapt General Eisenhower's phrase about the Siegfried Line, no corporation is better than the men belonging to it, and it is notorious how generally poor is the quality of councillors up and down the country. The good men stand out. Many who would be good men for local government have given it up or refused to enter it because of the conditions in which they would have to work, the time they would have to waste, and the quality of the colleagues they would find. A clean sweep would be a beginning.

It would need legislation to be in order, but the Government Is more important is that uie local and Parliamentary franchises are to be 1 hostels and rest room as feminine as possible: they have stood out against the requisitioning for hostels of buildings which were not Y.W.CA. workers have lent their own curtains, furniture, and ornaments. In the Norwich hostel the warden encourages the girls to come into the kitchen when cooking is going on. since the loss of our Mum's kitchen is the deprivation which they feel the most in service life. "The importance of these feminine hostels and their influence in this disintegrating time cannot be overestimated." said Chief Officer Reid Jamieson, who came to study the craft-work done by the girls.

The Parties are considering what may be the effect on their strength on the councils of this addition of voters.

We must expect, too. that in those places where local government has been carried on without any great flavouring of Party politics the new arrangement will bring in Party politics. functions. In the larger authorities, with the varied and extended range of duties that post-war legislation will impose on them, there will be scope for the activities of the better type of public spirited man.
