FRANK WILSON, Executor of the estate of Leonard Vernon Fitch. More About Philpott (Continued from Page 1) which burn only oil." ANTI-SEMITIC pile of rubble with corpses probably still buried under it. "Throughout the city there were hundreds of these piles of stone and rubble with an occasional stovepipe sticking out. I saw snappy-looking girls come out of these 'homes' and walk briskly off to work. "Industrial production," he continued, "is of an extraordinary high and range, and prices are exceedingly low.

If the Allies were to leave Germany today, I feel that in a very short time the country's industrial output would astound the world." "They have managed to solve transportation problem despite the acute shortage of gasoline, by manufacturing small cars, similar to those used in England but powered by small diesel motors The columnist stated he did not see any attempts to revive fascism or nazism although there is a strong feeling of anti-semitism. A feeling of nationalism, too, was in evidence, he noticed. "I think the splitting up of Germany has prevented a third World War," Mr. Philpott declared. "Any antagonistic forces are kept down.

The Germans are fearful of the Russians but are scornful of the westerners. There is a general feeling of hostility in the air. "The Germans refer to their overseers as Russian savages, British Blunderers and overgrown children like the Americans. They don't even bother to mention the French." "In the British sector country most of the industries have been destroyed and they are even trying to dismantle the artificial gasoline plants but are meeting with stiff resistance and little success. "I think," he added, "that the British have been given all the dirty work." "But then, on the other hand, the British are subjecting the Germans to what they (the Gerdescribe as a 'mild form of "The British, in trying to be fair to the Germans, are refraining as much as possible from ordering them about.

"The average German is SO used to taking orders that he is lost without them." Turning his attention to Italy, Mr. Philpott said, "a person can't help but like Italy. I think the people are charming cynics." "The Italians refer to the recent war as 'the best defeat we ever had'." The speaker said that all through Italy practically every vacant space building walls, and other structures, was covered with hand-chalked signs denouncing war. "There seems to be a virile leftist movement. Most noticeable is the way the people suppress everything in connection with Mussolini his birthplace, where he died, any reminders of him." "In Italy people are desperately poor but they all seem happy, well-clothed and well-fed.

It is amazing how they manage to live on the starvation wages they are paid." Speaking of Switzerland, Mr. Philpott said, "it 1 is the only country in Europe that I would want to live in. The Swiss do not put on airs. "Like Canada, Switzerland has more than one language, in fact three but they all seem to live together and like it." The columnist told of visiting Berne and of the way the people hold open market of their produce "right on the doorstep of parliament." Market stalls are set up even on the grounds of the parliament buildings. "I find Switzerland very much like British Columbia," said Mr.

Philpott, "the scenery is quite similar and the atmosphere is much the same. "About the biggest difference I find is that in Switzerland everything that man has done has improved the landscape."
