SPRAGUE, President - - Member of Tbe Associated Prwi i The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for publication of sH news despatches credited to It or not otherwise credited far this newspaper. Olc T76rld la Round For 'more than 2000 years men have known . that tile world is round. Possibly most laymen have a notion that its spherical shape was ascer tained about the time of Columbus. Eratos thenes knew about it in the third century BC, stnd computed the earth's circumference with a fair degree of accuracy; and we have a rather clear notion that some fellow still farther, back had it all figured out, but we can't put our fin der on him. Most knowledge is Older than we think. " " - Still, though this simple fact has been in the possession of most civilized humans for some centuries, it strikes us that psychological ly speaking, the world is rounder today than it ever was before. Just test it out Go outdoors and look at the earth's apparent flatness. Try to imagine that it really is flat. If Suinuch harder to do, well conjecture, than it would have been " three months ago. 1 Doubtless one reason is that the news items we read are "datelined" in places scattered all the way around the globe, but a weightier ex planation Is that here in America we grow in creasingly aware that one indivisible menace i is pushing in against both our shores. ; - J It is disgustingly trite to add the further observation that the world is getting smaller but on the other hand it may be worth remark ing that our mental pictures of places geogra phically distant are getting clearer largely because we realize their increased relative im portance. We know for example that what goes on today on the far away island of Java is more . important to us than what happens across the street.-, 'r - ... - Two spots in this world which up io now have " seemed "farthest from nowhere" are Madagascar' and Kamchatka. Know anything about them? We can't guarantee that studying their positions and characteristics will help you, presently, to follow this war more intelligently; we just have a hunch that it 'may. V Sharper awareness that the world is round is only one of several psychological evolutions . how. in progress. As a group, Americans are changing their minds. ' Possibly folk always change their minds unconsciously, paradoxical as that- may sound. And possibly they should ' . be permitted to change their minds in privacy, just as they change their clothes. But we trust it is not indelicate to mention the change, once they have come out from behind the screen. Take comparative values. Price Administrator- Henderson predicts that the American standard of living will fall, due to the various compulsions of the war effort, below that of 1932. Under other circumstances that predic tion would be cause for dismay. Is it now? No. In part, that is due to our increased awareness that the world is round. We realize we knew it all along but didn't realize that if our living standard falls below the 1932 level it will still be considerably higher than that which has prevailed in the best of times, in a great many other countries. But more signifi cantly, we know in our sense of comparative alues that our living standard is not by sev 1 eral items the most important thing in the I world. ' -. V Besides, there is; a sort of relief . in the - knowledge that "keeping up with the Joneses" - Is no longer necessary' -except that we have to keep up with them in buying Offense Bonds , and in sacrifices aimed at winning the .war. Attitude toward government likewise has changed and there we are bordering on the , trite again But it isn't merely that from think- . ing of the; federal government as Santa Claus ve have turned to thinking of it "as something to which we owe a debt Along with that has come, just J recently, another change of which sharp criticism of government is a symptom. Criticism that is sharp but essentially loyal rewasnber the phrase "loyal opposition" which Wendell Willkie made a byword? Now allot of Americans are smacking Un cle Sam lustily but in a spirit which reveals their increasing awareness that they are the government. It boils down essentially to self criticism. Its direction implies a clearer realiz ation that government the president, congress, army, navy and marines are the people's ser vants. .As long as the national spirit moves in this direction, democracy is safe. And so is the nation even though the world is small and round. Ours is still a distinct, unique," right Vnking section of it : .. . Patriotism , The stern law of military necessity" rath er than thelikes and dislikes of various Com munities or their individual citizensor their public officials will determine what is to be done with the 200,000 enemy aliens living on this coast. Such is the declaration of Lt Gen. J. L. DeWitt of the western defense command. That closes the debate, insofar as it may have any effect upon the final decision. -: Public attitudes toward the -Issue remain fit subjects for comment A considerable body of opinion in the three, states bordering on the Pacific ocean favors evacuation of these enemy aliens, principally Japanese, as well as such citizens of Japanese ancestry as hold "dual cit izenship," to interior areas. Some groups would include in the evacuation all citizens of Japan ese ancestry. - Taking into consideration the need of safe guard against fifth' column activity, the econ omic problems involved and the question of justice to the aliens and their citizen children, this column has advocated ; that they remain "here at agricultural tasks under guard. Speak ing of justice, either this plan or their removal to interior states would be kinder than continu ation of their present status. : 'r: ' We note that the governors of nine interior, states have protested against the removal of this group to their areas. Doubtlcst the citizens, cf those states would resent any suggestion that they are less patriotic than the people of other states; and if we were to chide them, the retort .ould be that if we are not Wo Favor Stoayt V$; No Fear Shall Awe" r from rirst SUUtnaan, March 28, 11831 . The News By PAUL MALLON w X JTXa Bengasi Z to keeo these aliens and others of their race, why should they be willing to accept them? That is not, of course, a pertinent answer. The coastal ' states' vulnerability to attack, in which fifth column activity might play sr part, Is' the real point , involved In the removal Issue, That leaves one other question. Do the gov ernors accurately represent the "sentiment in the interior states? And if they do, there is still another, that might be j addressed directly to. those states' citizens: If you object to the proximity of well-behaved persons of Japanese ancestry, what about your. urge to get close enough to certain others of . the same race, to heave hand grenades at them? i A subscriber insists that the editorial de , scribing the career of Robert Noble, early spon sor of "Thirty Every Thursday" in. California and now a leader in the disloyal, pro-axis "Friends ofTProgress,' way incomplete; that we should have explained whether in our view advocacy of the "Ham and Eggs" idea' was "disloyal and dangerously unAmerican." v We remain convinced that the editorial said every thing that needed to be said. Its sole purpose was to classify, as to character and patriotism, one of the movement's principal sponsors. The hundreds o f thousands o f Californians who voted for the measure; were not of course, all , disloyal. Some were short-sightedly selfish and most of the others were just deluded chumps. v Repeal of "pensions; for congressmen" was voted by an overwhelming margin in each house. The seven "no" votes in the house of rep resentatives were all cast by democrats. Re publicans cannot claim quite so clean a record in the senate but in general those who wanted the pensions were typical "liberals" of the type defined by our neighbor Claude Ingalls "lib eral with other people's money."

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Heavy movements of troops and material have been observed going from Germany through Rumania into the Ukraine. Despite the nazi gossip about Genera Rommel being re moved from Libya to the Rus sian front, stronger nazi fire power Is also being Suilt up on the south shores of the Medi terranean. Nazi transports are stealing frequently out, of Greek ports andt. down into These two noticeable ven tures are linked together in the minds of authorities here. who have thus been led to expect a Paai auiiea dual spring blitz on the near east J straight blow at Egypt and the Suez, coupled with swinging are down through the Caucasus. j Rommel will have to move fast if he Is going to fulfill the implications of his substantial rein-, f orcements Sandstorms have held him up recently. Tem porarily bad weather has kept his planes on the ground and practically blinded him. He has been unable to observe disposition of the British forces. As no fifth columnists are available in that desert battleground, he must depend for observation en tirely upon his air force, j ' ' ' But the storms should soon dear. The season for them does not usually begin until the devastat ing heat starts the latter part of April or May. Aft er that operations must be restricted, but Rommel still has about six weeks in which to use the strength being piled up on bis front Good spring fighting weather will not come to the Ukraine, until after this six weeks period is over, so the northern drive is not expected to op erate simultaneously. ' Indeed, some things have been happening on the northern Russian front to cause doubt as to whether Hitler's fanatical ! energies can be spared for mis move to encircle the Black sea by moving around Turkey. All is not well with the German plan of defense ; In the north. Hitler wanted! to hold certain positions at all costs. He wanted to obtain certain objectives with counterattacks. In both efforts he has been unsuccessful. - - J - v .The Reds are driving! in I now upon his so ' called line of defense-in-depth. They are pushing - down from Staraya, Russia, toward the Latvian ' border to such an extent that it is now apparent to .all. Hitler's calculations have been seriously upset. A devastating Red campaign into the heart of Germany itself has for the first time become con-. , ceivable as a result of the nazi defense line being edged out of desired positions. No one is claiming . such vague possibility as a prospect yet. Even Sta- . lin has never hoped for as much of this in his pub lic utterances. It all depends on how! much of a force Hitler has maintained in reserve' In the north, to what ex ' tent he has gambled by depleting his home armies in preparation for his threat to. the near east oil . fields, how much he is leaving in France and Nor way to meet Invasions by the British, which Berlin newspapers are saying they expect Certainly he will have to draw some troops from the southern front, If the northern winter falls him as an ally. The swinging pendulum of expectations re garding the near east stops now at the opinion that Hitler intends to surround Turkey with his gigan tic pincers, but not invade 'it It is now thought he will not try to move through Turkey unless his al . ternative plan fails. If it works, Turkey will be ; within his grasp anyway. ; j . His pressure on Spain, too, seems relaxed lately , - - Strangely, few authorites here seem to agree with the Berlin newspapers in expectation of a. British invasion of the continent Raids in force are certain to increase (like the Friday sortie of the - parachute troops). But there' seems to be .some doubt as to whether the British are equipped for anything more. ' - This would probably be the official attitude - here, whether or not a major test of Hitler's conti nental defenses was to be sttemoted.

Letters from Statesman Readers - t WANTS NEW SENATOaV. ? counties to help find the right To the Editor: In electinf of ficials I think toe people should elect men who are fitted for each office. If 1 were picking men for high up office for Ore gon, I would pick a man like Gov. C A. Sprague for United States senator, and Earl Snell' for governor; Sprague would ' make a fine representative in Washington," clean and a good 'mixer with the high up there. For governor I would pick Snell -' for his ability for state affairs, strictly business, clean and a . real business man. For congress, well we have no ?" congressman and have not had for some time. Why do I say so? Well, any man who would '. vote as J.'W. lfott has been re- -ported to nave, voted sure is. a failure . as a ' congressman and would be easily beaten at this ; time. . As Mott is a World war vet, anyone - to get the vets .vote -would have to be a veteran of some war, good speaker,; dean, ' . honest, sober man. We have an ideal man in Newberg but we can't get him to run as he states he has retired. .1 am speaking -of Hon. Scott Leavitt, a war vet eran, a good speaker, an ex congressman, excellent congres- . sional ability. , If the people would " shower him with postal: cards asking him to run it might be we could smoke him out of his retirement Of course we have other men who are just as able if we knew . Just -where to locate them so it's to to you men in ether .... rk U. S. S. IL, revealed in an article based on his book, MissioB to Moscow, in the March issue of The Reader's Digest V V The unexpectedly strong; re sistance of the Red Army, which Mr. Davies predicted ' at the launching of Hitler's attack, has resulted from both the unsus pected size of the army and the extent of its equipment The for mer ambassador ' estimates that the Russians had an available man power of nearly 18,000,000 highly trained officers and men at the begUtaing of the Nazi of fensive last June. The Russians tank production has far sur passed common reports, and their newer planes have proved superior to those of the Nazis, according to Mr. Davies. "Despite, the current Russian victories, the German occupation of the great industrial areas of western Russia has put a severe strain, on the Soviets second line of industrial defense behind the Ural mountains. Britain and toe United States cannot expect, Mr. Davies warns emphatically, mat the Red Army will be able to press its counter-offensive to Germany's frontiers unless they continue to provide necessary materials. As long as such sup port is forthcoming, there need be little fear that Stalin will make a separate peace with .Hit ler. . . - ,;. , "Mr. Davies minimizes the short-lived nonaggression pact between Stalin and Hitler. He recalls conversations with Stalin in which the latter said mat he was gravely aware of the dan-, gers of Chamberlain's appease -ment policy. Later he issued a call for a mutual aid pact with Britain, f London's indifference to the Soviet overture, Mr. Da vies explains, forced the Hitler pact on Russia. In answer to criticism of Rus I think it Is too bad to have the : two -most popular ' men in Oregon running for the same office, and if we cant get one. to shift for toe senate it is to be hoped that these men -will put forth their platforms and press their case and never speak of the other, for I learned when a young man that if I wanted to beat a boy out of his girl never -to speak of him but press my own- case. - . Perhaps X had better tell why I would like to see Mr, Sprague run for the senate. Well, two reasons, ' perhaps three, but toe third I will not speak of though many know it J '. ; - First, Mr. McNary has been there long enough. ' Second, he voted against some of the bills -that were vital to 'bur . advancement, to our own interest I wCl: not take time to mention them but of course he was only about one-third as bad as Mott - . It would be good to look up any man's record as to how he voted and especially on the hCl to fortify Guam. Had that b&l been passed two or .three years ago, Guam would still be sink ing Japs. That one vote would cause men to vote against any man who turned that bill down to say nothing of the neutrality, lend-lease and ' ship - arming bais. Yours for men in r the -right -dace. - .

In conclusion, he discounts toe danger of Russian Communism in the United States and pleads for. Americans to have faith in their allie. So ends the words of the eom menter on the Davies article In the March issue 'of The Reader's Digest . : i f 1 . The indications of the current events in the Orient seem to point to . toe intention of the simpy Jap military rulers to at tack Russia; not to wait for Rus sia to move on the Japs.
