; Pity has been driven from the
", hearts of all mankind by the
savage excesses of these lnadors
' that have been TOLERATED by
I the German people by the grisly
murder factories of the past, and
, hy the burning and shooting of
helpless prisoners that still goes
on. (As late as yesterday, 220
political prisoners in a concentra-
tlon camp In Leipzig were
. sprayed with flaming acetone and
burned to death by their Jailers.)
Not even remorse for their
evil deeds in the face of certainly
impending punishment move
these monsters.
THERE is no sympathy for these
Germans as human beings
for It is doubtful if they are hu
man beings In any modern sense
f the term.
In Leipzig, after battering it
.flown with heavy artillery, we
tinnally took the city hall, which
had been converted into an Inner
citadel" of last resort, and when
our soldiers entered this steel-
sheathed last Inner citadel a sight
met their eyes that can only be
described lis out of tills world.
Some 330 naitls, both military
and civilian, had withered there
after all hope was gone. They
had set a banquet, with food and
wine. Then, after eating ami
drinking, they killed themselves.
Officers lay across the table, the
position of the guns in their
hands Indicating that they had
.killed each other at a given
slimal. There were WOMEN
among the dead. Poison (quick
acting cyanide), as well as guns,
had been used In this strange
pact of death.
.. By Charlei V. Stanton ,
Representative' Harold Knutsoii of Minnesota, it) a radio
address last March 13, speaking- oh the subject "The West
Offers Opportunities for Servicemen," repeated, in effect,
Horace Greeley's advice( "Go west, youhg man, go west."
Strikinir at defea test, attitudes and claims that there is no
further opportunity to private enterprise and individual
initiative, he declared that the states west of the Mississippi
offer opportunity for "creation of an empire of truly conti
nental size."
He pointed out that after the Civil war men were given
land certificates and that they carved out the "world's
greatest agricultural empire." He emphasized that they
Heeded iio further government subsidy, no public works,
no dole, but that by their initiative they created jobs for
great numbers of people.
He urged distribution of industrial activity to all parts
of the nation, stating that at present the "population map
of the United States looks like a bus, with all the congestion
at the front end.'' ,
"Migration of veterans to the West," he asserted, "will
be the power that will create the new empire. The producers
it brings with it, will, at the same time, be consumers that
will keep the producers at work."
Representative Knutson challenged chambers of commerce,
Civic organizations, banks, industries, newspapers and radio
stations to "start soldiers and war workers and their wives,
mothers and sweethearts to thinking about the great op
portunities which the West has to offer them."
lie stresses the distinction between a continental empire
which exploits the resources of its territories for the benefit
of its people, and a colonial empire which exploits the people
of its colonies for the benefit of a favored few. By indus
trial development of the West, he declared, a continental
empire can be created, instead of the colonial West being
exploited for the benefit of the industrialized East.
Naturally, those of us who know and love the West are
anxious to do all we can to make this dream of a continental
empire come true. But when we attempt to localize the
representative's remarks make them applicable to Douglas
county we come face to face with the following comment
contained in his address:
"So I expect the railroads which played so Important a
part in pioneering the agricultural West to play an even
more important part in the promotion of the new industrial
West."
Just how much promotion for the Douglas county area
nd, in fact, Soutliwestarn Oregon, can we expect from the
Friendly" Southern Pacific, which has kept us in the indus-
iul icebox ull these years?, Do you imagine that any veteran
ho rode the "owl" train through Southern Oregon, making
11 tho milk stops, and riding a mixed cattle and passenger
train, would form a likely impression of tho West? ' When
is told at a ticket window in a California station as
puople have been told that Roseburg isn't on the S. P.
ne, is ho apt to consider Douglas county as a possible
location for his investment and future home?
Founder Harrinian had visions of empire when he built the
Southern Pacific, but his successors have an eye only for the
ash box.
As Representative Knutson so ably declared, the West
offers opportunity for an empire of truly continental size,
but promotion by railroads is one of the most essential
steps in building that empire. As long as we continue to
be held in the grip of a transportation utility whicli refuses
to provide a modern, adequate passenger service to that
icction of tho Pacific coast offering the greatest opportunity
or new industrial development, we will bo seriously handi
capped in our empire building.

DIAL:LOQ
By SUSAN
OR too many years, we Ameri
cans have been far too cure
less In our choice of leaders. Men
who are qualified to lead have
stayed out of polities. The job of
running for office has been left
too often to mouthy demagogues.
In this emergency that has
arisen to confront us, we have
been luckier than we have any
right to be. The general run of
our leadership has risen to the
occasion In the traditional Ameri
can manner, and so we have been
saved from the consequences of
our negligence.
But we mustn't take any more
chances. Wc must choose as our
leaders from here on the best that
we have, and we' must give to
them n quality of loyalty and tol
erance in our support of them
far aiiove what we have exhibited
In the past.
Tlif world situation today Is too
grave to Justify nny more risks.

URGES RELIEF FROM JAM
IN ROSEBURG TRAFFIC
Editor News-Review:
Having made over a period of
several months many efforts to
cross Highway 9U on Stephnes St.,
In some cases with nearly fatal
results, and especially Saturday
morning on returning from the
hospital when I managed to get
behind a four-car lam. and vainly
watched the traffic on Stephens
street run north and. south, my
on n on is that It is time some
thing is done about traffic condi
tions on Oak, Cass and Lane
streets. The average driver on a
through highway seems to think
he has eonmlete rieht of way.
and that no one entering from a
cross street has any business en-
terinc this through highway.
Thev meriilv roll on disregard
ing the attempt to cross. Mav I
in-ire the citv council and the
state highway office in Roseburg
to do something about this before
there Is a serious accident at one
of these crossings.

A Psalm in Indian Language
The Great Father, above,
Shepherd Chief Is. I am bis, and
with him I want not. He throws

water not dangerous and I eat
and drink and lie down satisfied
Sometimes my heart is very woa
and falls down, but he lifts it up
again, and draws me into a good
road.
His name is wonderful.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
God is ever watching over
His children, though sometimes
He may seem to us indifferent
to our affairs. So it must have
seemed to the Psalmist when
he made his plea. "Make no
tarrying O My God." Yet he
discovers within himself the
answer to God's apparent aloof
ness when he meditates.
"Therefore hath the Lord rec
ompensed me according to my
righteousness." He finds that
Uod deals with individuals and
nations according to their in
tent and purpose of soul. "With
the merciful Thou wilt show
thyself merciful." Dereliction
of duty seems to account for
God's failure to hear and an
swer prayer. Isaiah says: Your
iniquities have separated be
tween you and your God.
Christ's first concern in His
mission of redemption was to
bridge the chasm, scperating
man from God. Therefore He
came preaching the gospel and
saying: The Kingdom of God
is at hand; repent ye and be
lieve the gospel. He is still
calling upon men to cast aside
those iniquities that seperato
them from God, so that God
may be able to hear and answer
their prayers. Amen.

He spreads a table before me
with all kinds of food, and we sit
