.Ghosts From Carthage
Reflecting that Mussolini aspired to rebuild
the ancient Roman Empire, that he hailed the
Mediterranean as "Mare Nostrum, "pur
that he sought in Libya and Ethiopia to entrench
Italian colonies which might be an economic
bulwark to Rome and the peninsula, and that
v the Italian clamor for "Tunisia', 'Tunisia had
the French really worried, one realizes how bit
ter with gall and wormwood is the daily diet of
n Duce, as he sees his Italian empire completely
swept from his hands. But if the ghosts of the
Caesars and their glory haunt Mussolini as his
hopes of imperial revival fade, what now must
haunt him in his troubled sleep but the ghosts
of Hannibal and Hamilcar as daily he hears of
the massing of hostile arms on the site of ancient
Carthage! ' :
. No Cato the Elder ends every speech in the
Roman senate with "Delenda est Carthago,"
"Carthage must be destroyed", for Mussolini,
author of the fascist pattern of government,
long ago wiped out the Italian parliament. In
his roster of generals Mussolini searches in vain
tfor the famous Scipios of the Punic wars who
might meet and crush the hosts mustering near
Zama, where Scipio Africanu Major j defeated
Hannibal, and near Carthage, which Scipio Af-
ricanus Minor destroyed. And the ships which
once enabled the ancient Romans to control the
1 seas and transport their armies to Africa, now
hide, battered and afraid, in concealed harbors,
or as shattered hulks grovel at sea-bottom or
blanch in hot sun and salt spray on; helpless
beaches. The enemy commands the sea and the
air. over it. . j 1
- After 21 centuries Italy faces invasion from
Africa. After 21 centuries the slow wheel of
fortune completes its circle, and grim retribu
tive justice rises out of the ruins of Carthage.
And Rome which after its season of power and
glory was invested by Visigoth and Hun, now
faces,unless it soon calls for mercy, the almost
certain capture by strange armies, from coun
tries which are the inheritors of its ancient cul
ture, and the friends of its people and its past.
Mussolini's dream of empire fades; and Rome,
-its brief interval of revived importance abrup
tly ended, faces a return to brooding over its
'relics, as when Byron wrote of it over a century
'ago: . '
. "The Niobe of the nations! there she stands.
.Childless and, crownless, in her voiceless woe;
An empty urn within her withered hands,
Whose holy dust was scattered long ago.
'The Scipios tomb contains no ashes now;
The very sepulchres lie tenantless ! v ;
Of their heroic d wellerf j dost thou flow ,
OldTiber! through a marble wilderness? '
Rise with thy yellow waves, and mantle her
distress." - " . - ;
Literary Commerce
From Moscow comes word that the two mil
lionth copy of Mark Twaina works has been
issued in Russia. This is the total since the rev
olution. Mark Tdain is the favorite American
author, Jack London second. Other popular
writers are Theodore Dreiser, John Steinbeck,
Upton Sinclair, Pearl Buck and Paul DeKruif.
Works of Ernest Hemingway and Erskine Cald
well are not generally popular, the demand for
them being confined to the intellectuals.
The popularity of Mark Twain shows that
reading of Russians is not confined to Marxian
literature. Twain 1 is wholesomely American,
rich in humor, deft in narrative and skilled in
characterization. Twain wrote before novels had
to have "social significance" to get a favorable
book review. There's not a red in a carload of
"Tom Sawyer," 'Huck Finn, or "Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthura Court." t And ; Jack .
London's stories are pure adventure. As for the
others, Sinclair and Steinbeck are leftists, but
their works have entertained big sale in this
country.
The fact is that the Russian people (those who
were literate) have always liked American lit t
erature, . especially fiction. Madame Fedorova,
author of "The Family", who now resides in l
Eugene, has related how her tastes were molded
by such American writers as Hawthorne. Sine
the revolution the masses have ; been taught
to read and write, and perhaps nowhere is there
a greater demand for reading material than in
Russia. The bookstalls do a big business there;
and reading tastes are varied. I U'
This literary commerce is by no means one
sided. In the United States there has been a con
tinuing demand for works of Russian writers,
particularly Tolstoi, Dostoyevsky, and Maxim
Gorky. Fiction is still more popular than tracts,
regardless of language.

Calculated RisV : !
- Remarks the Corvallis Gazette-Times:
"A big shakeup is threatened in Denver be
. cause, in a practice blackout, the key to the
I siren box, was found to be lost, and the black-
1 out was, therefore, a fizzle. Just why was a
blackout thought necessary for a town so far
inland? Looks like play-war stuff." t :
The trouble with Civilian Defense from the
.very first has been its apparent, unwillingness
to be realistic. While the armed forces follow
the policy, of accepting "calculated risks", as
Admiral King puts it, OCD has done little in
the way of measuring hazards and planning its
program accordingly. ;
It is suly to be holding practice blackouts in
"Denver, or Cedar Rapids, where similar practi
ces' have been held, as well as other cities deep
" in the interior. Even on this coast the risks now
are dwindling in number, and are confined to
special targets in military and production areas,
to our state capitoL and to forests. J
J At first Mayor LaGuard ia, original chief of
; OCD, was determined to stock cities up with
fire equipment and gas masks. The mayor al-'
ways goes to the fires; and thinking in terms of
New York City, decided what the country need
ed was lots of fire trucks to put out fires started
by enemy-dropped bombs. Such ' equipment is
needed ; in exposed cities, and New York and
other border cities' are in that class but not
. Denver or Omaha or Tulsa. As far as gas masks
are concerned the British haven't , had to use
theirs, and there is Jar less need for them in this
country than in Britain. : ' 1'
, OCD needs ta.be flexible, expanding or con
tracting its program, shifting its emphasis with
changing conditions; and always remembering
the significance of the phrase, "calculated risks.
We must take some chances that men and equip
ment and energies and time may be devoted to
more urgent demands. Even on this coast we can
now forget such things as mass evacuation, ex
tensive camouflage, and poison gas. The prime
need now is production, in industry and . agri
culture, and. transportation. 5

WASHINGTON, June 8 Popular conceptions
hold John L. Lewis a traitor for his mine stoppages,
and seem to suggest also that Mr. Roosevelt was
lax in dealing with him, presumably for fear of the
effect on 44 politics. :
These points may have their grains of truth, but
down underneath them Is thrall-pervading
fact that the gov
eminent got itself involved In
Intricacies so deep and complex
as almost to prevent prompt
solution." ;
: It did not get out at the time,
but twice the war: labor board
marched down to the White
House and threatened to resign
in a body If Mr. Roosevelt did
not shut up Fuel Administrator
Pial MtTJoa Ickes entirely and completely.
Mr. Ickes thereupon shut up, for a moment at
least, a very big moment. Neither he nor the WLB,
nor anyone else, in the government, asked Lewis to
try to stop the miners from "resuming their leisure
at the expiration of their truce, although the strike
naturally was to follow automatically. When Mr.
Ickes did get around to asking Lewis, the strike was
1 stopped. 4-? ; j-? y- -; V : '.
The fundamental government difficulty was mat
Mr.' Ickes wanted one solution and the war labor
board another, or at least, the WLB wanted to make
whatever solution was adopted. Its jealousy over its
authority certainly did as much to promote the sec- -ond
walk-out as did Mr. Lewis or the operators.
All government just sat silently and let it happen.
Tne politically-minded Mr. Ickes bad a virtual
solution as far back as May 25, when he recom
mended a $1.50 a day increase for the miners. Lew- np 1 n f r
Is was contending for $2, but finally agreed to ac- I! Lfl G fiiD 111 Of "f
cept the $1.50. Then Ickes submitted tha idea to U BBW ll?W
xne operators and they turned him down, although
he was supposed to be the boss of the mines and
merely .his agents. J , ' I
Again, there -was only five minutes difference in
a settlement between the operators and miners.
The operators were willing to grant Lewis portal-to-portal
pay for 85 minutes, but Lewis held out
for 90 minutes. .Then Ickes suggested a joint com-
mission be appointed to determine the actual aver
age portal-to-portal time, thus delaying a settle
ment.. A
The issue might have been concluded over the
last weekend after Lewis had ordered the miners
back to work. But the war labor board would not
let the operators resume negotiations until the min
ers were actually in the pits Monday morning, 4hus
losing two days of negotiations. This mad the op
erators so angry at WLB, they actually joined Lew
is in denouncing the board, i - r : , ; -
The whole silly contest was conducted in the pub
lic eye, in actual competition for headlines, with
all labor anxiously watching to see! what Lewis
would get out of the government, hoping and plan
ning to get the same or more for themselves later.
No one will emerge from such a man-made maze
with any glory, least of an war labor board.
No doubt the administration would have liked to
do something drastic about Mr. Lewis. It's wrath,
was higher than its actions. Mr. Roosevelt's law
yers even looked into the treason laws , with an Idea
el using them on him. , .
Justice department lawyers went into the mat
ter thoroughly, but later passed the word to inter
ested senators that they could find nothing bearing
sufficient legal glue to stick, on the coal disrupter.

Is working with justice lawyers on a bill to change
the treason law to .punish, with nenalties short of
death, such actions against the good of the state.
As statutes stand now, Lewis could have been in
, dieted for treason only in event violence developed
around the mines traceable to his orders. Some sort
of destruction of government property or impedi
ment to government operation by violence -would
have to be involved. Uaturally Lewis was too smart
to walk Into such a trap. :
The battle of the Mediterra
nean obviously is working up to
i a climax. The softening up proe
' ess is far advanced in the case
of at least one of the allies
probable objectives. The terrific
pounding' to wbioh Pantelleria
has been subjected for the last
fortnight strongly suggests that
the actual assault by landing
forces will not be much longer
. delayed. When it comes a great
and difficult operation to clear
t he ; Mediterranean a of enemy .
strongholds and open fully that
broad highway to the east will
be under way, one of the great
allied undertakings for 1943.
-- Winston Churchill, making
one of bis memorable war re
views for the house of commons
yesterday, confirmed the grow
ing worldwide impression that
great actions -are Imminent,
But perhaps' the most signifi
' cant passages of Churchill re
view were not his hints of spec
tacular events Impending but
his' references to favorable.
trends in certain fundamental
phases of the war. This includes
the fillies success against the
submarine, their growing super
iority in the air and indications
of lowered German morale, both
military and civilian. . -
He noted that "ia May for the
first time our killings of U-boat
substantially' outnumbered the
U-boat output" and commented
that "that may be a fateful mile
stone.' He emphasized the ex
tent to which German hopes
- have been pinned ioz the sub
marine fleets, not only as a mili
tary factor but as a means of
revenging the soul-searing pun
lshment Germany is taking from
the ! air. The Germans, he re
called, "are a people who when
seriously disappointed do not al
ways find resources to confront
approaching disaster once their
reason tells them it is inevi
table." ' -
The prime minister pointed to
the . axis debacle in Tunisia as
an indication that the morale of
the German armed forces is not
what it . was , when they were ;
overrunning Europe. The sud
denness of the collapse," he
commented, "must be regarded
as significant, and In a sense
characteristic o f the German
psychology, which was shown -after
Jena (Napoleon's victory in
1SCS over the : Prussians) ; and '
also at the very end of the . last
But he warned against "un
due expectations' based on these
indications of enemy weakness. :
Although the 'great underlying
trends of the conflict are setting
strongly in favor of the allies
they must be prepared for cost
ly and bitter battles all around
the world. The lull which has
persisted since Tunis and Bizerte

She cavorted and barked in a
joyous welcome, while a frown

PRAISES MEMORIAL
To the Editor:
While driving through Oregon,
Portland - bound, on Memorial
Day, I chanced upon many pa
triotic offerings and - remn
brances to our dead, exemplify
ing the undying faith of the
country.
One, however, stood out above
the others, not because of the
price . of the ; object alone, but
the careful thought and plan
ning and hard, diligent work
that linked together, produced
an outstanding monument to the
boys that fought and died for
our country. This is the memor
ial at Walker and Howell Mor
tuary, located on the highway
. through Salem. ' r- Y
A hih-flying flag presents
itself, as you drive up. When
one of Salem's boys is killed in
1 action, the flag flies at half-mast -that
day.
You are shown into the par
lors. At the; ante-room, baskets
of beautiful flowers at once at
tract your attention. Walking
over,, you see a large plaque
with the inscription "In Memo
riam" inscribed on the too.
Glancing down, two- rows of
.larr, colored photographs of the
deceased service men jneet the
eye. Under each picture is their
name, date of birth and death,
and at what location they were
killed. Two scrapbooks are plac
ed on a table, one giving the his
tory of the boys, and ia the
other is kept all of the cards
that have been previously plac
ed with the Cowers.
There is room for many, many
photographs, but let us ail pray
that those two rows shall be the
last -

1 billions. This is a fine
achievement the bonds are get
ting into the hands of individ
uals, who thus have a savings
reservoir against future needs,
and they have ' a stake in the
USA, both financial and senti
mental. ;-: ' j - ;-
These bonds are getting into
the people's hand. During this
second war loan 22,700,000 sin
gle bonds Of $23 denomination
were sold, and 4,600,000 of the
$50 size. Secretary Morgenthau
reports that 50 million people
" now own war bonds, and that
five-sixths of all people em
ployed have bought bonds. That
is something to cheer about bo
loudly Corporal HUJer will hear
the noise. .'
What about the future?
The answer to that is easy:
more of the same. As long as
the war lasts bonds will have to
be sold and bought . Of th
hundred billion dollars needed
by the government this year,
present taxes will yield about 30
billions. We have already bor
rowed 25 billion dollars
through sales of bonds the first
four months of the year. That
leaves about 49 billions to be
provided by new taxes or by ad
ditional sales of war bonds.
Intensive selling of war bonds
of Series E, F and G will con
tinue all the time,' as formerly.
It Is expected that two more
special campaigns will be held,
one in September, one in Decem
ber. A goal of 25 per cent of In
come for war bonds instead of
10 per cent is being urged by the
treasury department
The country can do the job,
and must do it With national
income soaring to 150 billions
and with fewer places to spend
it the people should be able to
meet the country's calls without
difficulty.
When an army takes a trench
it pauses only Ion enough to
catch its breath before it goes on 4 '
to capture the next trench. When
an army wins a battle, it pauses
only long enough to get organ
ized for the next battle.
The same rule applies on the
dollar front In the second war
loan we, the people, captured the
second trench. Now we are
drawing our breath (and piling
up earnings) to be ready for the
next attack.
