Evaluating Peril to Gyilization
Dorothy Thompson well expressed her current estimate of
the Nazi war in her article condemning Senator Borah's con
tention that this is a war of rival imperialisms which ap
peared in Thursday's Statesman.
-Tbis column believes that his (Senator Borah's V premise
is wrong," she said. "This Is not, as he thinks, a war of rival im
perialisms. It is a revolutionary war. Its object is not to effect
reasonable adjustments which will give greater Justice to na
, tlons suffering from a lack ox raw materials and commercial
outlets. Its object is to change the whole structure of human so
ciety, to destroy all existing Western forms of political and ec
, onomlc organization' and to substitute for them a new model
which will not retain a remnant of what since Greece and Rome
has been known as western civilization."
Miss Thompson calls the present war revolutionary, aimed
to erase-all traces of "western" civilization from the minds
of Europeans. But in what way is it revolutionary? In its
origins, if one takes the Nazi shibboleths at face value, as
Miss Thompson usually does, it is a movement which has its
almost too obvious inspiration in certain second-rate nation
Uoi vritora rf tViA last RO vears. most of whose ideas were
ivvu aww af f
taken over from the works of Herder, Hegel and Nietzsche.
The race superiority of Naziism is a direct steal from Gobi
not, a disappointed Frenchman, and the f o r m of the Nazi
r-jstate not far from Hegel's perfect Prussian government, in
which the idea of "freedom" was considered freedom to do
another's will without question.
If world revolution is really the Nazi ideal the Russians
used to have a copyright on the term there is still little rea
son to believe that it will end all western civilization. Culture
simply doesn't die because an ignorant housepainter once con
vinced a band of gangsters that the biggest swag of all was
the world ; its social fiber is far too tough to be torn to shreds
In a mere six years. The present upheaval will doubless end
In economic and political reorganization in one form or an
other; but to believe, that the world, following a Nazi victory,
frill long remain in a strait-jacket prescribed by Nazi theor-
Ists is to deny the inevitability of social change. If history has
" proved nothing else, it has proved that nothing of human
origin remains the same year after year; nor are Nazi slogan
smiths more than human.
Western civilization is obviously in for a period of wear
and tear the like of which it has never known; but that the
political and economic and cultural experience of all the ages
from Plato to Bernard Shaw will and can be thrown into a
Nazi concentration camp approximates the unbelievable.
Men's minds might be anaesthetized into a stupor for a time
by the vapors of Hitlerism; but that some transcendent mind
- would not rise to show the path back to a responsible indi
vidualism in society is unthinkable. Napoleon I was for long
accused of being the anti-Christ and the successor to Attila ;
but even he, whose genius was infinitely more brilliant than
Hitler's, could make no great, fundamental, and lasting
a a. . 1 . 1. ll
cnangs m either trie political or tne economic structure oi tne
west Hitler's memory, in future time, will probably be simi
lar to that of Al Capone, though on a greater scale ; his influ---
ence will probably not be more lasting.
School Children and Traffic
The fact that several civic organizations have undertak
en a program of safeguarding pedestrian traffic, chiefly
school pupils, in the vicinity of
ing sign. It is especially encouraging in view of the fact that
the school board, the city police, and the Junior chamber of
.commerce have undertaken a
provide adequate safety precautions for the citys 4,900 school
children in their daily troonine
learning.
:;' Salem has needed an adequate protective system for its
school children for some time. The city, clearly, is no village ;
and with its increase in size has come a marked increase in
traffic Nor has the situation, first, of Parrish junior high
school,, and, later of the senior high school in close proximity
to the main north and south highway through the town been
much of a contribution toward
already indicated that traffic
streets is too fast for absolute
them on their way to school buildings.
i The organizational status
quate traffic protection for school children is particularly
important, and, if an admonitory word is not out of the way,
should be closely guarded in its
police authorities. As the program now stands, school auth-
orities are making a thorough survey of the traffic protection

buildings heir report will be
tnorities, who in turn will consult with police and service
grbups who are interested in
The outcome should be a
whjch will be sustained at its
tie school year.
il There have been previously,
: triffic safety program which, usually through not direct
': fa jilt of their sponsors, failed to prove entirely adequate for
the situation. Now, however, police and school authorities, to
gether with the junior chamber, are confident that they can
. organize a fully adequate protective system in the schools, es
pecially with the cooperation of civic groups which have as
sisted in the past. Their progress should be closely watched.
The secretary of state's office has listed Salem as first
among Oregon cities in August
test. This, obviously, is a cherished position ; and the city must
strive to maintain itself exactly where it is. To that end es
pecially, present plans for adequate schoolchild protection in
tl e vicinity of school buildings is to be heartily seconded.

Week-Day Religious Education
; Wisely, we have always believed, Oregon law has prohib
ited the giving of religious instruction by the public school
. system. Enthusiastic Christians occasionally raise their
voices in deprecation of this provision, but their attitude, we
hive felt, is not based upon an understanding of the law's
intent nor upon consideration
ficulty of reconciling or avoiding differences in belief is the
principal one of these factors. Fundamentally the state law is
based upon that wise policy which has helped America to sur
vive the total separation of church and state.
.The Oregon legislature however adopted nearly 20 years
ago a law permitting children to be released from public
school attendance for a maximum of 120 minutes a week for
religious instruction arranged by agencies outside the schools,
and a system based upon this permission has been working
. satisfactorily in Portland.' In 1922 a demonstration program
was conducted in Garfield school here with success, and the
following year a program for the four upper grades outside
of school hours, but means for continuing the work were not
available., ' .
j ! Steps to introduce such a
school board nearly a year ago and with cooperation from
the ministerial association and other groups, the plans are
now complete and the program will be put into effect Monday,
October 1. All of the necessary safeguards to avoid the dan-
gers foreseen when the prohibitory law was enacted, appear
to nave been provided. Uhlei or these are the provision that in
order to be released for this religious instruction, children
must have their parents' consent and the arrangement that
the costs shall not fall In any

San Diego and California have
franchise rights to celebrate the
year 1942. but Salem and Oregon
have better rights as to that year.
and as to 1940, when considered
in the lights of the beginnings of
American civUIxation and Protes
tant Christianity.
The blood of 17 Lees who
fought in the Revolution ran la
the veins of Jason Lee, and he.
came as an American with the
blessing of President Andrew
Jackson and the after sympathy
and support of Presidents Van Bu-
ren, Harrison and Tyler, and with
the active and eloquent aid in the
halls of congress of such men as
Senators Benton and Linn.
With a curling of the Up of con
tempt, Bancroft called Jason Lee
a colonizer. He was a colonizer,
as well as a Christian missionary
and statesman, and he missed no
chance of proclaiming the great
advantages of the Oregon coun
try, to the Macedonian call of
whose natives he had responded.
un His visit east in 1838. seek
ing the "great reinforcement" for
Ms mission, that came on the Lau
sanne, in 1839-40, he took a peti
tion to congress, asking for the
extension of the authority of the
united Mates over the Oregon
country, though then, and for
about six years thereafter, its
right was only that of Joint occu
pancy with Great Britain.
But Lee and his missionaries
had for over four years been pre
senting to the American govern
ment the same claims. When Lee
was asked for further arguments
in support of his 1838 contentions,
he declared that though the first
consideration of his mission was
to benefit the Indians, the ultir
mate and necessary outcome was
and must necessarily be the set
tlement of the country; the acqui
sition of it for the American gov
ernment. S
He said plainly: "It may be
safely assumed that ours. In con
nection with the other settlers al
ready there, is the COMMENCE
MENT OF A. PERMANENT SET
TLEMENT OF THE COUNTRY.
. . . It may be thought that Ore
gon la ot little importance; but,
rely upon it, THERE IS THE
GERM OF A GREAT STATE. We
are 'resolved to do what we can
to benefit the country. . . . We are
confident that our settlement,
more than anything else, would
subserve the purposes of our gov
ernment respecting the (prospec
tive) Oregon Territory- . . . We
shall ... be prepared to hold in
check the avarice of a foreign
power and to establish and main
tain American interests generally,
with the least expense to the na
tion and the best prospects of
bloodless success."
And Jason Lee so impressed the
administration at Washington that
President Martin Van Buren gave
a sum of money (probably above
$5000) toward the expenses of
conveying the Lausanne party of
the Jason Lee mission to Oregon.

opportunity than they now have for learning about religion.
A non-denominational program competently conducted along
lines established by successful experiment elsewhere has, in
our opinion, special advantages in that it will serve to empha
size the points of agreement and to minimize the points of
disagreement, between various religious groups. It will be an
influence in the direction of Christian unity.
Community Chest Campaign Near
Within a little more than a week, solicitors will be out
seeking contributions and pledges to the Community Chest
fund. This will be the third annual Chest campaign. The first
year, with professional campaign management, the quota was
not quite reached ; the second year, with outside help elimin
ated, the campaign "went over the top." j
Speakers for the Community Chest are already appear
ing before various civic organizations and other groups and
it is evident that the reaction is favorable. The speakers re
port that few of their listeners are asking questions which
may be a sign that all of them are already "sold" on the Chest
It is hardly likely, however, that every prospective giver
is fully conversant with the Chest program and with the
place in Salem's welfare setup of each of the seven agencies it
supports. It is important that everyone in Salem comes to un
derstand these matters. In order that there may be no ques
tions when the solicitor arrives, the Chest speakers,' we feel
safe in saying, are more than anxious to have questions asked
now. Having been rather close to the Chest program since its
inception, the writer knows that there is a good answer to
every possible question but don't take our word for it.
At a date nearer to the opening of the campaign, tills col
umn will enter more fully into a discussion of the Chest pro
gram and the importance of the campaign's success. 1

"You aren't still serious about
Began, are you?"
"Of course not. Bob. We're Just
old friends."
"I know all about that, Mike.
But it looks to me as though you
might wake up some morning and
find yourself In a lot of trouble.
Iris Regan will come back one ot
these days and then what?"
"Then what am J supposed to
do. Bob?"
"Forget him! Go out with Don
or somebody. Tou don't go any
place any more!"
. . . from Detroit!
Kenyon was so persistent that
she went out with Don one night
only to come in at midnight to
find her ; telephone ringing. It
was Handsome ... from Detroit!
"Where on earth have you
been?"
"Just out for dinner, darling."
"Until midnight? Don't fool
me!"
"I'm not I had dinner with
Don Raye."
"Don't do it again. I don't
want you going out with strange
men!"
"Don't be ridiculous." Mike
pleaded.
"I'm not, but stay home after
this- I might want to talk to you
on the telephone. Here I've been
trying to get you since ten o'clock.
Did you like the game today,
Skipper Four more to go, and i
get the old contract back!"
a a a
Before the team came back to
New York Wish Malone invited
Mike to dine with him at his
apartment. "I asked you up here
for a special reason." Mike
laughed. '
"You're an angel. Wish, but 1
always suspect you ot some deep
plot!" Wish did not laugh. He
reached into his pocket and
pulled out an envelope addressed
to Larry Regan, co N. Y. Yankee
Baseball club.
"Read it," said Wish and, at a
glance, Mike saw that it was dated
the day before from Honolulu and
was signed by Iris. Its message
was brief: "Starting home Tues
day' arriving for series. Good luck
and love. Iris."
The blow had fallen! She was
numb. Wish watched her.
"Mr. Crisp sent out orders to
day to the road secretary that if
any cables came for Handsome,
they were to be given to Ace." Al
though Wish's voice was quiet. It
was plain to see he was almost as
upset as Mike-
"Going Swell"
"Tell me, Skipper, are we doing
right? He's going so swell. It's a
shame to upset him now. He's
got a chance at those four games.
He's knocking everybody cold. 1
just can't let her hurt him now."
"But if she comes for the Series,
what can we do?"
That's why I asked you to
come up here tonight, Mike.
We've got to plan for that emerg
ency." "What can we do? We can't
chloroform her!"
"I've got a better idea."
"What?"
"Kidnaping!"
"You're not serious?"
"I am. But I mean: Kidnap
Handsome! Let me explain. If
the Series Is played In New York,
we've got to keep people away
from him. I've already written
his father."
"What has he got to do with
it?"
"That's simple. You. and his
dad must keep Handsome away
from everybody."
"How in the world can we do
that?"
"To begin with, you've got to
take a vacation while the Series
is here."
"I might be able to arrange
that."
"Then I think you should take
an apartment next to yours for
Mr. Regan- We can keep Hand
some there. I'll help."
"Hide Him?"
"How can we ever hide him?"
"That's up to you, Mike. It
must be done: Iris ruined him
once, she Isn't going to do it
again." Wish's voice was grim.
"I'll take care ot her when the
time comes!"
They talked over the situation.
Wish was bitter. Mike seemed the
more composed of the two.
"Has anyone been checking up
on her, Wish?" Mike asked.
T"Yes, we've leen investigating.
. . . She's been living with an old
friend of hers, a girl she used to
know back home in Kansas."

By! Vera Brown
"Kansas? I thought she came
from Chicago?"
"Originally, - a Kansas girl,"
Wish said. "There's a picture in
the papers tonight of cousin of
hers that's made the movies."
Wish pleked up a tabloid and
handed it to Mike. The girl
glanced at it.
"She's very pretty, looks a lot
like Iris, doesn't she?" Then she
looked at the caption under the
picture: "A Pretty Girl from Pret
ty, Kansas. She is RoyaU Rus
sell who has just signed a long
term contract in Hollywood.
Blond Miss Russell is a cousin of
Handsome Regan's handsome
wife. Iris."
Mike reread the lines. "Pretty,
Kansas." 1 Where had she heard
the name of that town? She
thought hard, a deep frown in her
eyes. i
Finally Mike remembered. That
nice old lady she'd met that day
In the park in Chicago. She said
she'd come from Pretty, Kansas.
Mike's eyes wldaned. What had
the old lady said? That her daugh
ter was at the Inferno cafe?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. Mr.

The VP apparently has ac

The administration cannot pre

fight is nearer even. Garner and

himself on his feet, but he wUl
have to be at top weight to save
his skin from Borah and John
son. (Nominal Leader Barkley is
outweighed for this fracas and
Foreign Chairman Plttman, while
able, resourceful and well-liked,
could not carry the load.)
The White House is apparently
bent on helping the cause along
in a new way. The information

two submarines being near the
American coastline was volun

THE CHOICE
A curious thing is happening
la the debate over the arms em
bargo. Those who believe that we
should lift the embargo on arms
are being brand
ed as "propagan
diets despite
the tact that
most of them
were opposed to
this concept of
neutrality long
before any war
ot general Euro
pean . dimensions
was in sight-
ThnoA hn want
us to keep tte 0o,0,M ThnB
embargo : are representing them
selves as the true upholders of
American interests against for
eign war mongers. ,
' a ' a
In this debate there are two
points of view regarding the at
titude that the United States
should take at this moment to
ward the war: The one is most
clearly embodied in the letter
which the former Secretary of
State, Mr. Stimson, addressed to
the public through the "New
York Times." The other has
been most completely pleaded for
in the address of Col. Lindbergh.
The first viewpoint, is that the
United States should return to the
traditional procedure of Interna
tional law, sell arms to friendly
powers who have .money to pay
for them, strengthen our defenses
and be prepared to defend Ameri
can interests at whatever point
they are menaced. At this Junc
ture we should make no hard and
fast program, but do everything
possible to maintain our position
as a world power and as the
world's greatest society of free
people.
The second viewpoint is that
the struggle elsewhere In. the
world in no way concerns us as
a world power or as a democrat
ic society, and that we should
maintain our attitude of complete
aloofness, keeping and even per
haps extending the embargo.
The American people ought
clearly to realize that the propo
nents of both concepts of neutral
ity are making propaganda, since
the expression of any viewpoint
is propaganda. We will take one
course or the other, for we can
only take one course or the other.
The proponents of neither policy
wish . us to send an . army to
France. On both sides there are
honest men and women, and their
decision will be determined by
their viewpoint on the issues,
their analyses ot the nature of
the war and the possible effects
of its outcome on the United
States, and by their own personal
biases.
a-
The Western powers certainly
hope that we will take the first
course, and therefore -all of us
who advocate the first course are

THOM PSON
supporting a policy welcome to
the Western powers.
The National Socialist govern
ment of Germany is concentrating
Its entire propaganda machine on
pressing us to take the second
course. Therefore, all who advo
cate it are advising a course wel
come to Germany and her asso
ciates. Whatever the motives, whatev
er the prejudices and whatever
the intellectual convictions, Mr.
Stimson is a propagandist for the'
Western powers by reason of his
stand, and Col. Lindbergh is no
less a propagandist for Germauy
by reason of his stand. Whatever
course we take will aid one sido.
and harm the other. That itself
is a comment on the lack of real
ity of our isolation.
. If we refuse, in defiance of in
ternational practice, to sell arms
to powers, one of which has a
great dominion on the North
American continent, with three
thousand m lies of unfortified
frontier on our own country, with
both of which we have been at
peace for more than a hundred
years, and neither of which for
more than a hundred years has
ever sought to influence or
change our: domestic institutions,
we shall definitely be aiding Nazi
Germany and her benevolent as
sistant, Bolshevik Russia, whose
philosophies of life and govern
ment do openly challenge our in
stitutions, i
There is 'no way in which we
can avoid making a decision fa
vorable to one side or the other.
It we maintain an embargo in
a distortion of traditional neutral
ity, England and France have at
least as much reason to regard It
as an unfriendly act as Germany
would have If we lifted it.
Leaving sentiment, pity and
personal sympathies out of ac
count and being as "ruthless as a
surgeon's knife," this is the fact.
. a
And it seems to me that it is
pertinent to point out that with
all this talk; about propaganda the
only widespread propaganda in
this country directly connected
with and traceable to foreign
powers and accompanied by large
scale organization of American
citiiens are the Nail and the Com
munist. Communist party leaders have
testified before the Dies commit
tee that they have 200,000 mem
bers in this country, and that they
are spending on an average of
$2,000,000 ja year. They have
their own publication". The Com
munist party is an authoritarian
organization; it follows slavishly
the line laid down In the Krem
lin, and it is concentrating its
whole propaganda activities now
in denouncing Great Britain as a
war monger, and pinning the
blame for the war upon Great
Britain. Byia feat of unexampled
disingenuousness it still main
tains that jthe Russian offer of
benevolent aid to Germany,
which, with it in his pocket Hit
ler marched against Pdland in full
realization that he was starting a
general war, was an act of peace.
!
There is a Nazi organization in
the United States. It has many
thousands ;of members and its
own press. It, too, has performed
a marvelous feat of volte face
since the Russian-German pact.
According I to the "Deutscher
Weckruf und Beobachter," Rus
sia has become national bolslie
vist, and "bolshevist" means ma
jority rule. Through meetings and
through its press the Bund and
its fellow-travelers are attempting
to make a solid bloc of German
Americans j and are organizing a
letter campaign upon Congress.
Wednesday's issue of the
"Deutscher Weckruf" played up
the Lindbergh speech in a head
line across! the entire front page,
"We shall j be deluged with pro
paganda." The implication Is that
the "Deutscher Weckruf" is not
making propaganda. But long be
fore this war began this paper
was a pure; and simple Nazi sheet,
heartily supporting and no doubt
part of Fritz Kuhn's organization
in the United States.
Nobody who reads the Nazi
propaganda here can possibly be
lieve that its readers have Amer
ican interests at heart except ai
they see those Interests complete
ly merged with those of Germany.
This is not the standpoint of most
German-Americans, but the wai
makes iti possible to graft Nazi
ideology upon the firm American
