Member of Th Associated Press
Th Associated Press ts escluslrely entitled to the um for

wise cradUed la tola oawepaper.
Pershing and Lindbergh
It is an interestins. and exceedingly precious, comment
ary on the democratic republican system of the United States
that two such conflicting views on the nation s foreign reia
tions could be presented by two men who have been national
heroes, over the same air waves on the same day as those
of General Pershine and Colonel Lindbergh on Sunday. .
That this could happen, with equal freedom, in any other
country, is hardly to be contemplated. That it did happen
here is a proof that our institutions are still far from sub
version, and also a reminder that to Keep tnem in us uncor
rupted is a task involving more responsibilities than privileges.
The lines of thought expressed in the two addresses
are of course of the highest importance, more significant
i even than the nreHminarv sDarrinir of the two national politi-
' cal parties. In themselves they embody the two possible
American answers to the war-born world of Hitler and Mus
solini, answers which will shape the future of the united
States and of the world.
.Pershing's statements are readily understandable. As
-'the commander of the American forces in France during the
last war, he is the nation's most logical exponent of strong
military defenses. As such, the line of reasoning which causes
him to support compulsory military training in the present
crisis as the simplest means of arriving at an adequate mili
tary -defense is perfectly clear. There can be question only
of his reading of the crisis itself, which makes him think
that such action is one of immediate and pressing necessity.
This paper is inclined to agree with his analysis; but is
aware that others do not.
Among the latter Colonel Lindbergh is most prominent.
Denying Mussolini's remark that the world is too small a
place to maintain both the totalitaian and the democratic
states, he advises the United States to prepare to deal with
a Europe dominated by Germany instead of a Europe domi
nated by France and England, as though it were a matter
of buying hosiery at a store where the management had un
accountably been changed over the weekend. . .
Colon Lindbergh's pronouncements stem from a some
what obscurantic belief in the perfect inviolability of this
hemisphere, peculiar when coming from a flier of great
renown, and an equally peculiar notion that the Germany of
Hitler is no different from the Germany of the Weimar re
public or of the Hohenzollerns except for incidental changes
in the political facade. In thus speaking, he of course misses
the point of Mussolini's comment noted above, and of the
whole argument of such men as Rauschning who claim that
the Hitlenan movement is nothing more nor less than world
revolution, with which one "cooperates" in the same sense
that one cooperates with a rattlesnake. America, briefly,
may cooperate? but the announced and concreted policy of
the German reich is to cooperate only on its own terms, and
these terms inevitably include political and social domina
tion, either late or soon. '
The answer to the question of immediate military de
fenses or a more deliberate policy of commercial "coopera
tion" one hesitates, at this writing, to say appeasement
( has yet to be made. The views of this paper-are positive pn
the subject, contrary to appeasement in any form and in
stringent favor of strong defense establishments. Others,
as remarked above, are not so sure ; and that is why it is a
splendid thing to have both sides of the argument as well
and as freely expressed as over the last weekend.
"Today's Challenge to American -Youth"
Winner this year of the American Youth Forum's con
test in which high school students wrote upon the subject
of 'Today's Challenge to American Youth" was an Ameri
can-born girl, Eunice Stunkard of New York City, but she
had spent a year in Germany, leaving just about the time
that war broke out. Last year, as we call it, the winner was
a Jewish immigrant boy who had spent most of his brief
lifetime as a member of an oppressed minority somewhere
in what is now "Greater Germany." And this year's winner
in the graphic arts division was a Pueblo Indian boy in New
Mexico.
That theseawards sponsored by the American Magazine
should be won by Immigrant youth or by young people who
have lived abroad may not, perhaps, warrant the observa
tion that if "Today's Challenge to American Youth" is to
be met it will be necessary to revitalize American youth by in
viting in a lot more young people from abroad. On the con
trary, the correct assumption should be, we Infer, that resi
dence in other lands has given these particular youths a su
perior basis for comparison. The correct solution, in that
case, is to give American youth in general that basis for com
parison, in full faith that America will not suffer thereby.
Unfortunately, at the present writing this may be done only
with a telescope, so to speak.
A If one may judge from the newj .dispatches, "today's
challenge to American youth" when bereft of the capital let
ters, consists of a choice between the alternatives of military
service and matrimony. Whether the thought merely nau
seates oractually horrifies, depends upon the degree of one's
respect for the institution tf matrimony and one's respect
for his personal obligation to his country; concepts which
in this case may be combined and called, let us .say, self
respect. It is not fair, of course, to suspect the motives of every
young man who chooses this particular time to get married,
nor the motives and self-respect of the young woman who
accompanies him to the altar. But. that is not an especially
pertinent remark because, in a matter such as this, each in
dividual becomes sooner or later his own harshest judge. And
now will someone please change the subject?
For the Sake of the Record
Not for the sake of: "telling off a big neighbor, in re
spect to whom we have heretofore admitted ascertain degree
of envy, but purely for the sake of defending the Marion
county government s spotless financial record, we hasten to
point out that the Oregonian editorial column erred on Mon
day when it referred to"final liquidation of a Marion county
bond indebtedness incurred nearly fifty years ago, and cov
I ering an aggregate interest payment much in excess of the
principal sum." ; j y
Most any" Marion county reader instantly identified the
error; it was the city of Salem and its city hall to which
the editorial actually applied, and the incorrect reference
doubtless "was a. mere slip of the typewriter. The Marion
county courthouse was built without contracting any long-term
debt . . ; ,f i -v
But the incident does afford opportunity to point out
not only that Marion county has not been guilty of taking
47 years to pay for its courthouse, but that it has no bonded
indebtedness whatsoever. Ja . the last: quarter of a century
the county has floated only one bond issue; $S5tf,000 for
roads in 1919. These bonds were finally liquidated about a
decade ago, several years in advance of the due date, at a
substantial saving in interest. This is record of which any
county mijrht well be proud, and any intimation to the con
trary, even though based purely upon a confusion of identi
fication, should not go uncorrected. .1

Th Germans are going to In

Before the can do It they will
have to destroy the effectiveness
of the British air force.
To dear the British skle,
the Germans will have to de
plete their owi air force to a
point where it will be lee tluus
the combined Italian and Raw
ataai force, a prospect they di.
Unctly dislike.
Their air blitx contemplates the
use of mustard gas against British

the airports untenable.

Bat the above, at least repre

Their reasoning gbes like this:
Invasion ot England cannot be
attempted as long as th British
have the plane strength to bomb
and machine-gun landing parties.
Shallow draft boats and barges ia
which the German .would come
are extremely vulnerable to air
attack, especially machine sun
ning. Furthermore, the particular
areas to be invaded must be thor
oughly cleaned out by German
bombing before landing can be at
tempted.. The situation, therefore,
call clearly for the type of Ger
man preparatory air campaign
used ln Poland to "neutralise
th Polish air force before the
land force moved in.
How long this "neutralization"
would require is a question upon
which the experts lack agreement.
The Germane have a heavy pre
ponderance in plane. -British
morale is high. British pilots and
planes are superior.
Thus" the authentic signs only
indicate the greatest air battle of
