"Important" Neutrals - A London paper in respect to American trade during wartime recently remarked, "Above all, big business in the United States must never be impeded. Better a leaky block ade, and therefore a longer war, than a cross neutral." Such words must raise many an eyebrow these days among the ma rines who look out over the Downs, whence come all ships de tained in the North Sea by the British contraband control, and who ponder on the difference between specific and gen eral truth. Apparently the situation is this: assuming that the Brit ish government would be willing to make exceptions for im portant neutrals an assumption which is perhaps not fair to make it is clear that America is a neutral of importance, and that Italy is not. For although the British have shown '" signs of helping American ships through their control ports at Gibraltar and elsewhere, the present action of the royal navy in garotting Italian coal shipments from uAntwerp and Kotterdam is an entirely different aspect of the rigidity of .the contraband control system. The facts, briefly are these: England on March 1 clap t jed on what amounts to virtually unrestricted blockade of all "T German exports and imports, not so much to keep them from fretting out to the rest of the world as to stifle German in dustry through lack of foreign exchange and failure to ob- tain new raw material supplies. Listed among the items blockaded was coal, on a German supply of which Italy relies to operate the extensive electrical plant on which her trans port as well as her industries depend for power. Much to the displeasure of II Duce and his flock, the British, instead of being content with a proclamation on paper, actually told their cruisers and destroyers plying in the Channel and off the Dutch coast to pick up all ships carrying German coal, and among those herded gently but firmly into the Downs were, at last report, some 14 Italian freighters, bearing the aunny names of Liana, Rapido, Orata, Felce, Caterina, Ab aertia, Ernesto, Numidia, Puzzuoli, Ischia, Integritas, Pam la. Semien and San Luigi. The days are dark and foggy off Dover, and there is little expectation that Italian masters tempers will grow any more mellow as they remain in cus tody of the Inglese. Immediately, of course, Count Ciano and papa-in-law Mussolini collaborated on a splendid array of condemnatory adjectives addressed to London, and the Foreign Office re sponded as is its habit with a non-committal remark about re ceipt of the note. Meantime, the ships remain, with the alter ative of unloading and going home in ballast, or roosting permanently off the Kentish coast until the prize courts get through with their cargoes. The implications of the matter are not entirely clear. Since the opening of the war, Italy has seemed slowly to awing in the direction of the Allies, until words alone seem to proclaim an uncracked axis from Rome to Berlin. Italian Allied trade has increased, and friendship between France and England and Italy ha3 seemed to grow with it and to make hollow last year's cries for "Tunisia" and "Savoia." These allied gains may now be partially lost by means of British strictness about the blockade; yet it is possible to , aee the damage repaired by proper steps taken by the Allies to assure the Italians supplies of coal from other sources, and by a fulsome use of the sort of flattery well calculated to win the Latin souls of the Pallazo Venezia's masters. Re cent months have seen a number of apparently extraordinary . . . i 1. 1 1 - J i U l tilings OCCUr ine results oi wnicu nave piuveu iu ue xi icsa than might have been expected ; the war itself is an example, and this may be another. One trusts so. The Intelligence Quotient Progressive educators were, about 15 years ago, all ateamed up over the potentialities of scientific measurement Of intelligence and the various aptitudes. The initials "IQ" K assessed a sort of magic, to their minds. Now it was possi e to measure mentality just as simply as a lifting machine could measure physical strength. Printed intelligence tests Kept the country and occasionally fell into injudicious nds. The writer recalls an evening of suppressed merri aaent occasioned by the spectacle of a public official attempt lag to administer one of these tests to a young woman domes tic who, to hide the fact that she hadn't done the housework, aet fire to the house. That act was a better guide to her intel ligence than the test ; it, in its turn, shed more light upon the intelligence of the public official, who couldn't make head nor tail of it. Despite its scientific auspices, the intelligence test skirj ad the borderline, at least, of the racket status, and variations f the idea are still furnishing the popular magazines with copy which has high reader interest. There is a fascination about the subjectespecially for the person who has reason to suspect that his own intelligence is above the average. In fairness it should be said that some, perhaps a great many educators saw the danger involved in the measurement Of intelligence the discouragement that it must cause per sons of sub-average intelligence if they were told, or discov ered, what their scores revealed. It was widely advocated that this information be withheld from them, but if out of a group tested the ones with superior intelligence were so ad vised, most of the others could hardly have been so unintelli gent as to avoid correct deductions as to their own status. It Is possible to base too much hope of success in this world upon the factor of intelligence, or to become too greatly discouraged because of an indicated dearth of intelligence. In a great many fields of endeavor, will power, courage and mental balance are more important. The brilliant mind is able to master intricate problems, to absorb and classify for future reference a great amount of information. Adapting that ability to the achievement of material success or service to humanity hinges heavily upon the possession of the other qualities. But that fact is not widely enough understood. . But now the education profession is arriving at the con clusion, partly divined by some of its. less reverent members from the beginning, that neither the tests upon which they banked so confidently nor any other tests that may be de vised, are sufficiently accurate to be safe guides. Virtually all of them depend too much for their scores upon definite facts which the person tested may happen to know or not to know without reference to native intelligence ; and to some degree upon facility in expression and mental attitudes un der pressure of a "quiz." At the convention of the American Association of School -Administrators recently in St Louis, the same meeting at .which Donald A. Emerson of Salem was honored by election to the presidency of the National Association of State High School Supervisors, this matter came in for attention and the opinion was expressed by George D. Stoddard, connected with the University of Iowa in a child welfare research capacity which brings him into contact with this problem, that "men tal testing as a standard procedure in, schools should be al lowed to, decline.' He revealed that recent findings have proven incontestably that environment affects the IQ mater Ully and that over a period of eight years, a child's IQ may be found to vary, from 20 to 40 points. He concluded that the teacher should turn to "measures of special abilities, relying for insight as to general ability on cumulative records of tcholastic achievement. This plan would avoid the bad error Cf labeling a child as permanently ds!L average, or bright. Iptatemnaii for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS Salem United States 1-8-40 Indian Training; School celebrated 60th birthday on Saturday. February 24th: "a "a (Continuing from yesterday:) Still continuing- the history pres entation: "The Indian students come to Chemawa with some understanding of their native lore, beliefs, and customi. They are encouraged to appreciate their natiTe songs and dances, to learn their natiTe handicrafts, and to bring enjoyment of their tribal music and beautiful cus toms to others In the programs taught and prepared at the school." (Seven Indian maidens present a native welcome dance for such a program.) SSI. (The girls present two Warm springs tribal songs. They are accompanied by sticks marking the rythm according ot a native custom.) (An Indian echo song is beautifully sung by the group.) s s s (The Indian maidens sing "Waters of the Minnetonka" with the sign language for the song performed by one of the group.)- (Indian children dance their native dances for the enjoyment of others.) s s s "Indian students at Chemawa are taught to work and to play. At the present the enrollment consists of 450 students repre senting 60 tribes and IB reserva tions of the Northwest. "The high school boys special ize in carpentry, machine shop, auto mechanics, cooking, baking, tailoring and farming. Their choice depends on individual in terest, and their graduation de pends on progress and skill. s s s "The high school girls are taught practical home making with stress on health and care of children, as well as on cook ing and sewing. "The high school this year con sists of 100 freshmen. 75 sopho mores, 55 Juniors and 50 seniors. s s s "The history of Chemawa, the oldest Indian non-reservation boarding school, has been told from the beginning of Its his tory in 18 80 to its 60th anni versary in 19 40. "Chemawa has not only trained its students in the arts and crafts but has also included an athletic program to develop the body as well as the mind. The success of this program Is best stated by calling your attention to the display of silver trophies on either side of this gymnasium 75 in all trophies wot in ath letic competition with athletic teams of the state; and as a fitting tribute to the school that has provided opportunities for so many Indian boys and girls dur ing the past 60 years the senior class of 1940 will sing the school song, 'Chemawa, We Love Thee, Forever.' " s s s So ended the spectacular, pleas ing and enlightening ceremonies attending: the fitting observance of the 60th anniversary of the now only institution of its kind. The same law of congress which established this institution also provided for the school of the same class at Carlisle, Pa., so the two flourished until the first years of the World war, when the one at Carlisle was made a fort, or turned back to a United States fort. So now the Salem school whose postoffice is Chemawa is the only one of its class In the country. At one time, this Institution ac commodated about 1000 pupils, before the Alaska studen'j were taken away and sent to reserva tion schools. s s s In Its dining room 1000 can be seated at one time, and it seems rather a pity that, with the cer tain need, a -capacity attendance has not been attained. To that end, the friends everywhere of those who would benefit ought to labor. The careful reader has noted in the above that, in January, 1885. "the good citizens of Sa lem' offered the TJ. S. govern ment 177 acres "of land. The land had belonged ' to Judge R. P. Boise, the famous pioneer lawyer and Jurist, and he offering to sell at what would now be considered a low figure, the public spirited People of Salem secured pledges for the money, to be paid in case toe negotiations for the removal of the school were successfully concluded; and this was ac complished. s s s The people of Salem also made themselves responsible for ob- Racing Committee Probes Alleged Shakedown Vfv vV- ' ", v ' i'j w: t , Sw. -4 1 .CilcjL- fX H ? , , --I, r -TTTi ihiiim iii n Tllx.l.LIJJJ .

Not to the ex tent of actually packing up her belongings, and going out of the house In the first morning light, alone. She had never been com pletely on her own, and the thought ot the Independence about which she had boasted last night, was terrifying now. But she couldn't stay on. after she'd told Claudine she was go ing. Well, others did It. Others went out alone and made their way. And If they did, she could. It she'd only had a little more edu cation, if only she knew how to do SOMETHING!, or If she had more money. When she had counted her carefully-hidden horde thirty-eight dollars and sixty-seven cents she felt better. That was a lot. Enough to keep her quite a while. Afterwards, when she thought back on It, she wondered how she could have been so silly, so naive, even at 18! What a start she had, leaving school at 16, and then go ing to New York two years later, with no Job. no prospects and on ly thirty-eight dollars la her purse! She didn't like to think about those first weeks and months alone. The chances she took. . . . But what did she know? And what's that that Grandma Pologne used to say about the Lord look ing out for children and fools? Certainly there was some truth In it. But that didn't excuse Claudine for sleeping like a log all night, while she tlptoted over the house, packing her things Into her two heavy old suitcases, writing crasy farewell notes, and hoping against hope that somebody would wake up and make her go back to bed where she belonged. She had been exhilarated, she remembered, as she snapped the suitcases shut and put on her hat and coat, knowing that she was really going through with it now and was not going to weaken and turn back. But going out in the first gray December light, into a damp, cold wind that scattered newspapers before it, was terrify ing. The heavy suitcases bumped her legs, their handles bit Into her chilled, aching hands. What a start! What a way to let a child go away! The train ride from Broad street tainlng the relinquishment of state authority over the land as that was then and probably Is yet a prerequisite when the federal government considers erecting buildings for federal use. There is a good true story In connection with the carrying oat of that pledge. (Continued tomorrow.) Touch Made By Hazel Livingston station In Philadelphia to Penn sylvania Station in New York was the longest she'd ever taken. How exciting It was, and how she re gretted having had coffee and doughnuts at the station. Instead of waiting and having it in the diner ot the train. But when they pulled into Penn sylvania station and everyone erowded forward, anxious to be on his way, her heart sank. She was the only one who didn't know where she was going, or why. She was the only one without a home. and a Job, and friends. She would have given almost anything la the world to be back again with Clan dine and Chester and yes with Junior. Late Entrants at UO Provided for Spring Term Opens March 25, Courses Suited to 1st Year Men Prospective students of the University of Oregon, who because they had not yet completed high school or were unable to enter for other reasons at the start of the school, should have no hesi tation at the beginning of the spring term, March 25, according to Dr. Donald M. Erb, university president. Ample courses which may be entered spring term await the be ginners in all schools and depart ments.

Girl" At least, she knew enough to check her bags, and take a little time to look the situation over. It was a sunny day, not too cold, and after the suitcases were checked and she was no longer burdened with them, she actually felt free and thrilled. At noon, after walking miles, and riding miles on Fifth avenue busea, first one way. then the oth er, she went Into a restaurant and felt a New Yorker already. All around her were girls and business men, gobbling lunches. She gobbled hers too, and thought she'd soon be working. The shops were so tempting spring things already! Resort clothes, cruise clothes, clothes for the south! What fun it would be to work In one of the stores. Pulling her hat sideways, at what she felt was a Jauntier angle, she plunged into a store, went self-consciously from counter to counter, floor to floor. "No, thank you, I'm Just look ing " At the big department stores, it was Just the same. She wanted to ask where to put In her applica tion for a Job, but she never got the courage. Tomorrow, she thought. Tomor row I'll do it systematically. It's too late now, anyway. It was 5 o'clock, and she was dead on her feet. She thought, I'll get something to eat, and then I'll go back to the station and get my bags, and I'll go to the YW and look at all the papers, and In the morning I'll really make the rounds.

Not a flicker of light has caped the backstage curtains, althoagh the president radioed congressional leaders from his cruising Caribbean ship a king them to defer their decision to eliminate f 18,000,000 from his bodge for that purpose. Unfor tunately the decision had al ready been made as his ship was Bearing Panama on the southward voyage. The. flo 000,000 item had been cut out by the bouse appropriations committee, and the leaders let the action stand. "First thing Mr. Roosevelt .ssld to his leaders upon his return was that the appropriation should be provided. At the last session he secured authorization for ZZ7, W 0,000, but the Initial appropria tion to start the work could not be made in the short time then re maining before congress ad journed. BLACK GOLD: British deter mination to cut off German coal shipments to Italy will "not hurt Germany much but will be very painful to Italy. It is true the only export through which Hitler can get large buying balances abroad is coal, but he does not need balances In Italy now. Un der the axis agreement which transported Germans from the Italian Tyrol, Italy still owes Hit ler somewhere between six and nine billion lira for expropriated lands. Mussolini, however, must have coal. He must Import about 12, 000,000 tons annually and pre sumably must now get It from Britain at least so the British fig ure, because the transportation costs from the United S-t a t e s would nearly double the price. COLLAPSE i The spenders attempt to crowbar a fresh $800,000,000 authorisation from congress for lowest cost housing baa collapsed with a suppressed thud. It appears the low priced housing administra tor, Nathan Straus, got his foot caught under the program when it fell. Mr. Straus' United States hous ing authority denies all knowl edge of the care-in, but more than one member of the house banking and currency committee will bear private witness to the tragic scuf fing of Mr. Straus' toes. It seems the house leaders had finally worked out a compromise to let USFIA replenish its completely bare treasury. The compromise called for Mr. Straus to abandon his policy of a free three per cent subsidy to cities on his 90 percent federal contribution toward all slums clearance projects. This woudd have put USHA on a self sustaining basis. The committee held a very se cret session, called Mr. Straus, but in a few minutes there was such strong-worded disagreement be tween them that Mr. Straus walked off in one direction, and the committee in the other, leav ing the plan on the floor. It will remain there until someone from USHA comes up to accept the al teratlon, say the committeemen.
