"No Favor Sways Us; No Fear Shall Awe"
From First Statesman, March 23, 1851

Student Ignorance - . j
The Sunday New York Times has come along
reviewing its test of the knowledge (or igno
rance) of American college students in Ameri
can history, which doubtless is what prompted.
Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania to call for cor
rective action. The evidence of widespread ig
norance of our country's history is indeed ap
palling. Here werelsome of the scores: ; : . .
" Only six per cent of the 7,000 students named
correctly the 13 original colonies. Only 12 per
cent could name two contributions of Andrew
Jackson to the country's development. While
71 per cent identified John D. Rockefeller cor
rectly as an oil magnate only nine per; cent
could identify Charles W. Eliot and Henry Ward
Beecher. Only 15 per cent gave the right name
for the president of the United States during
the Spanish-American war; and 30 per cent did
not know that Woodrow Wilson was president
during the first world war. ; -m.
' To some students Lincoln was famous be
cause he "emaciated the slaves; some said he
"was the first president of the United States.
Thomas Jefferson was variously described ar
president of the Confederacy, founder of the
Saturday Evening Post, a Salvation Army
Worker, and originator of the Monroe doctrine.
The bill of rights came in for some hard
knocks. "Freedom from want" and "freedom
from fear" were listed as included in the bill
of rights. Among other freedoms listed were:
freedom of choosing own recreation, freedom
from no jobs, freedom of politics. Among the
rights the students thought citizens enjoy were:
right for no prohibition, "wright of assylum",
right to "bare" arms, right to no slaves; while
one student said the bill of rights gave the white
people in the south "the right to lynch negroes.".
Geography , took a whipping too. St. Louis
was variously located, on the- Pacific ocean,
Lake Huron, Lake Erie, the Atlantic ocean,
Ohio river, St Lawrence river. Portland Ore
gon was located on the Atlantic ocean, Talla
hassee river, Tennessee river, Lake Ontario.
But in the case of Portland the quizzer him-
self gets caught. The correct answer set down";,
by 'the Times for the question: "On what prin
cipal body of water is Portland, Ore. located"
is "Columbia river." That's one for the book.
Portland is located on the Willamette river; its
boundaries do not reach to the Columbia.
This ignorance of American history and ge
ography parallels that revealed in mathematics,
when high school students took tests at colleges
last fall. They were caught short when they
tried to qualify for some of the army and navy
courses in officers' "training. The showing was
pathetic.
A. A AM. - m. . 1 A at5 V .
wnai is xne correct answer to uus. revela
tion? Dorothy Thompson says Teachers college
Is as much to blame as any single institution,
because it turn out technicians, not teachers.
She criticises the text-book system. Funda
mentally our schools go in for smattering of
knowledge about too many things; and there is
lack of discipline and thoroughness in instruc
tion. But there is another "correct answer": no
brain can carry all the facts and have them in
hand for immediate reference. Only a few can
qualify for "Information Please" and "Quiz
Kids". While facts are valuable tools both in
mathematics, geography and history, the true
educational process consists in enabling youth
to acquire and then use these tools in thinking,
in reasoning, in planning and doing. Then we
are attempting mass education with brain ma
terial much of which is to shallow to absorb
any large percentage of what it is exposed to in
schools. . . -
on the literary seas. - It must- bump against
, larger vessels like popular novels, and floating
' logs as well as the flotsam and jetsam of the
printing age. How. far this little book of Mrs.
i Fargo's will float we -cannot say, but it does
reach deep into the hearts of her friends because
' they know and love her. .
Wine Referendum
The Oregon Wine council which fought the
Burke bill to put sale of fortified wines back
in the state .stores announces a referendum on
1 this measure, which if the necessary signatures
would be secured,' would hold up the bill for
I two years until the people could vote on it.
That would mean two years of fine profits for
the fortified wine interests. WV are positive
, that on the simple issue of the Burke bill the
; people will vote to put the sale of fortified wine
back in state stores.! J
Apparently as an offset to this threatened
referendum the Anti-Liquor league proposed
an initiative to prohibit altogether the sale of
fortified wine. Such an initiative might prove
a mistake, because In the confusion of two bills
; on fortified wine the public might, be admon
ished to vote "no" which would result in killing
the Burke bill. Far better, in our opinion, to
fight it out on the single front than to split ef
forts, urging a "yes" vote on one bill and -a
"no" vote on the other.
Both proposals should be dropped. The stir
rings of prohibition zeal will increase with the
indication that the wine interests are not going
to accept the legislative decision. The Knox
plan was aimed at control of the liquor traffic;
and the liquor interests ought to be the first to
support rigid state control, which in the case
of fortified wine is clearly needed.

Brown Leaves Burning9
Today the Salem Woman's club will ' honor
at is afternoon meeting one of its loyal mem
bers, a former president of the club, Mrs. W. F.
Fargo. The tribute is richly merited, and it is
hoped that Mrs. Fargo, whose health has not
been of the best, may be able to attend and en
Joy the occasion to the full. I
What prompts the recognition of Mrsi Fargo
this afternoon is the recent publication of a
book of her poems, "Brown Leaves Burning".
Mrs. Fargo has been one of the local colony of
writers whose work has been accepted for pub
lication by magazines and newspapers. ; She
previously published two books, "Lessons in
Nature Study" and "Boarding 'Round This
is her first book of poems, though individual
poems have been printed from time to time.
A member of the local Writers club Mrs. Fargo
has been a real inspiration to its members for
the original work she has read at club meetings.
"Brown Leaves Burning" carries the scent
of autumn, and many of the poems seem pitched
In a minor key. But others sing of different sea
eons: "Summer" and "Spring Fever", They
are all intimate and personal, a reflection of
moods, an appreciation of nature in its quieter
moments; yet they pulse with poetic feeling.
Thus "Friendly House": t .
"Mine Is a cottage down a lane . . . i
With curtains frilly white, t
It whispers softly in the rain,
' And bows its head at night. '
' "It Is a quiet little house,
And yet, when I am gone,
- know It holds a high carouse
- With leaves out on the lawn, r - f -i
' .."But when I'm home again to stay, i - - ,
' : x It's friendly as can be, - . ,
And when the fireflies close the day - 1 -
r -i My cottage talks to me." - ,
And .who does not appreciate this verse on
.March";., - " ' - "J
"Bare branches against low scudding cloud,
Gate posts wrapped to a silver shroud,
, Raw patches of ragged snow, grime-edged, !
; Brood -reeds, bowed willows, Icily hedged,
And yet:
- i - -
We know where buds will blossom soon, . v
The touts year rising from her tomb." r - ;
A Iztlz ct poems is a frail bark ta Ut Iocs
. Leaving "pay-as-you-go" to the congressional
debaters, folks do well to stick by "pay-as-you-owe"
with their ordinary accounts.

WASHINGTON, April 8 Mr. Roosevelt has won
his greatest victory over the farm bloc but at a
price that was not officially posted.
He succeeded in turning back the Bankhead bill.
delaying the Pace bill, and
quieting the rampant farm lob
byists, but the senate allowed
him to do it in such a way that
if he weakens in his fight
' against inflation on other fronts
(the John L. Lewis miner-wag
front, particularly) these bills
can all be called back and pass
ed over his veto. ,
His men did not like this idea
of hiding the Bankhead bill in
definitely as a Damoclean
sword in the senate agriculture
committee. Democratic floor
leader Barkley worked ardent
ly against the motion to send the bill back to the
committee. He wanted a straight-out vote on
whether or not the bill should pass by a two-thirds
majority over the veto.
. But the polls showed in advance of the vote that
Barkley could not get his way, or rather the pres
ident's preferred way, because it may be confidently
assumed he was acting for the White House. Na
turally,' the president would like to feel entirely
free of this Bankhead threat, to deal on other anti
Inflationary fronts without the threat of. future
farm trouble.
The farm bloc found out early that it would lose.
Its poll showed it six votes short of the necessary
two-thirds vote to pass the bill over the presiden
tial veto under the most favorable circumstances
possible.
Meanwhile, democratic Senator Byrd, of Virgin
ia, had assumed inner leadership for the course
which the senate ultimately followed. He f first
started to work on the proposition of sending the
bill to the committee.
This drew away from the bloc such an Inveterate
farm supporter as Bennett Clark of Missouri who
never before failed to support a farm measure.
The reasonableness of this attitude was clearly
stated by republican Senator Vandenberg. : The
president, he argued, had sent a strong message
saying flatly he could not stop Inflation it the
Bankhead bill were passed over his veto.
The president thus assumed the responsibility
for stopping inflation. If the senate passed the
measure, it would take such responsibility away.
Mr. Roosevelt, therefore, should be taken at his
word, should be allowed to try.
The inference, which no one made plain, was
that if the president fails In dealing with Lewis,
or by allowing the OPA to inch- prices up higher
and higher, the situation will be entirely different
The senate then would be able to draw the bill
back from the committee and rally two-thirds ma
jority for it or something stronger, even the Pace
buL i - r V ; .
The White House victory thus really only gave
FDR a chance to have his way if he can.
Blistering telegrams, newspaper editorials, and
telephone calls ' from back home have made the
house rather sick at heart and sore in other places
-Rafter its own action in shunting the Ruml plan
and all pay-as-you-go tax legislation back into the
deep well of the house ways and means committee.
No one seems satisfied, least of all the congress
men involved. Some republican legislators are
complaining that it was bad strategy not to pass
some sort of a bill, because the senate would then
have adopted the Ruml plan, and, after that action,
the house might have accepted it. This is a matter
. of debate however as some senate leaders say a
modified Ruml plan could have been put through,
while others disagree.
But sorest of all U the treasury and the demo
cratic leadership. It solved nothing. The treasury
wanted a 20 per cent withholding tax on salaries
or the 19 per cent "forgiveness."
High paid war workers are moving around every
few months and income taxes cannot catch them,
but a withholding tax would. ' Also, there is a "
: chance that Germany might collapse suddenly and
upset war employment to the point where war
' taxes would never be paid. 1 '
. . But, despite all this disappointed reaction on both -sides,
no one yet seems to have a constructive idea
as to what to do now. All are still thinking It over.

While the world's attention is
concentrated on the storm that
is rolling; up over the Mediter
ranean against the southern bul-
warks of Hitler's Europe another
tempest which may prove equal
ly destructive to the nazi fortress
is gathering in the north.
Hitler must prepare lor. the
defense of the northwestern
shores i of his dark continent,
which have proved of immense
"value in his strategic plan, amid
Increasing turmoil and hostility.
After three years under the
nazi heel, Norway's always .see
thing spirit of revolt is. nearer
the : bursting point than ever.
Her exiled King Haakon broad
cast to his captive people last
night his prayer and hope that
"the liberation is : not far off.
Certainly the -hope . of freedom
is rising in Norwegian breasts
and with it the fears of the con
jftierors. .
Finland" watches anxiously for
any break that would permit her
to abandon her alliance . with
Hitler and" drop, out of the war.
Sweden, the sol e remaining
free and neutral nation of Scan-.
dinavia, gives signs of increas
ing anxiety that she be counted
among the- freedom-loving na
tion when the ! final lines, are
drawn. . wi, 'i--": :-;';f,".- t -;'
- to jiy consideration of pos
sible avenues of invasion Nor
way comes among the first. Whe
ther a thrust there is on the
schedule drawn up at Casablanca
must remain the secret of the
allied high commands until the
: proper day. V Nothing i done,
however, to discourage this spec
ulation, that being part of the
war of nerves which! the United'
Nations are waging with increa
sing effectiveness.
Hitler must assume that Nor
way will become one of the first
continental battlefields and keep
a large part of his resources
locked up- there.
There are many reasons why
the allies would want to- attack'
the Germans in Norway. Sue
cess there would go far toward
making safe the Murmansk route
of aid to Russia, never more Im
portant than now, since the
Soviet Union probably has at
least one more terrible summer,
ordeal before the final victory.
The Norwegian coast furnishes
some of the most valuable havens
for Grand Admiral poenltzf TJ
boat flotillas; their destruction
would be a mighty contribution
in the battle of the Atlantic
There is the possibility that a
descent on. the Norwegian coast
would compel the German grand
fleet, of which the best units, in
cluding -the Tirpitz. have been
harboring In Norwegian Fjords,
to come out and fight
Among sentimental1 considera
tions are- the desire to liberate
a people who even jwith their
homeland enslaved have contri
buted greatly to the allied cause
and the British, desire to avenge
the humiliating failure to rescue
Norway in 1840.
Against the Norwegian inva
sion is the argument that tile
convoys would have to cross
400 more miles of the North Sea,
beyond the lunbrella vrang of
land-based fighters, as compared
with the few score miles to be
crossed for an assault on France
or the lowlands. I . ...
