After Three Years
Without doubt the third anniversary of Pearl
Harbor : found the American people in sober
mood. The ebullient optimism of four months
ago was not in evidence. The tenseness of the
clinch along the Rhine and the near stalemate -on
rain-bound Leyte served to impress the peo-"
pie with the knowledge that the two wars are
far from ended. The sagging front in China also
indicated a prolonging of the warjin the east
for lack of the expected support in 'China. Fin
ally the casualties mount and they come home
with depressing effect. : '
Yet if we look at the map and review what
has-been accomplished in the past year there is
reason for much solid satisfaction. First of all
there is the successful invasion of the continent
of Europe from the west. A year ago the Ger
mans were boastful that their wall would not
be broached and we were fearful of its cost
and not too sanguine of its initial success. Now
the allies are knocking at Germany' very doors.
In the past year, too, the Americans have
swept into the Philippines, establishing themselves-securely
there. They, have virtually de
stroyed the Japanese navy as a power, and have
begun regular and systematic bombing of Tokyo
and other Japanese centers of war industry.
The outlying bases of Japan in the Pacific have
been prefty well cleaned out or neutralized.
There is no real ground for pessimism as to
the result even though there is disappointment
over the dashing of hopes of an early end of the '
war in Europe to permit concentration on Japan.
This new sober mood is needed so our war plant
may not falter in its production of needed ma
terials, especially ammunition, planes and ships. :
It has also stimulated purchases of war bonds.
What, America must do is to draw a fresh
breath, pull the belt up a notch and pitch in for
another year of hard going. Surely before the
fourth Pearl Harbor day comes the; decision in
Europe will have been reached, the Philippines
recovered, and perhaps a beginning made of the
assault on China or Japan. r
FDR Loses Round
. The re-referral of the president's appoint
ments of five men to top positions in the state
department to the foreign relations committee
for further study was a real blow to Roosevelt
and to Stettinius. It was not a party matter, the
.-.37 votes for the motion to refer" and the 27
against being well divided between the two
parties. When senators as staunch in their sup
port of the president as Wagner of New York
and Guf fey of Pennsylvania vote as they did
,',foc the motion it means a real rebuff to the ad-
' ministration. We may expect now the adminis
tration forces to apply pressures to secure con-
. f irmation, but that may be difficult for nomin
ations of Poet MacLeish and Cotton-merchant
Clayton.- : . j -
t Meantime Stettinius has been decisive with
reference to political affairs in Italy and Greece,,
boldly indicating a disagreement with British
Interference there to the chagrin of the jBri
tish. His position of strict non-interference may
be hard to sustain however; because this nation ,
too has a concern that liberated countries be hot '
hamstrung at, the start with decrepit and un-
: popular regimes. - r V-v ,
At least this is true, that Henry Ford, II, is
.getting plenty of fijee advertising about the
cheaper new car he is promising. The old magic
lan't quite as powerful as it used to be. He can
build a car to sell for less, no doubt; but will it
,be one that the. people will-want to buy. Public
taste has been veering more toward better ap
pointments and more comfort gather than to
ward cheaper and cruder transportation. That
was true before the war; and certainly the war
' hasn't dulled the appetite for luxury.
, Pleased to note that A. M. Dairy mple has been
appointed , bailiff in Judge McCulloch's federal
district court in Portland. A stalwart old-school
! democrat, A. M. has been a Marion county fig
ure for a long time, and pretty nearly a court
house fixture in the tax office. We'll miss him
'here, hut wish him good luck in the big city.
Y The state department has recommended the

ernments that have defaulted on their debt. The

Editorial Comment
W sympathize with the aspirations of the young
Negroes who have organized . the Association of
Young Writers and Artists, at Atlanta, Georgia. But
it is sympathy that does not include much hope of
notable production by this means. It is not the way
that art has been created by any race, Caucasion,
Chinese or Negro. The reason is that art is self
expression and not collective production.
Milton,, Shakespeare or Walt Whitman did not
produce as members of a writers' club. Michelan
gelo, so far as his art went, was a lone wolf. Bee
thoven worked not with the help of fellow aspirants
but against traditions. Verdi was refused admission 1

Log Truckers Protest
A fresh round is reported in the never-ending
battle between the log truckers and the state
police. It is more accurate to refer to it as a war
between the truckers and the highway depart-;
ment for the state police merely enforce the
laws under the regulations of the highway de
partment - V ''-I ' " '.'-i"
It all comes from this: truckers want to haul
maximum loads of logs and are under constant
temptation tojoverload if they think they won't
get caught. Then they ! admittedly can't deter
mine weight of logs in the woods, yet it is weight
which is limited and the impact of weight on
roads which wears them out.
Various plans have been tried,' with ill suc
cess. The weighing system with fines' for over
load, was criticized because it delayed haulers.
A. year or so ago the highway department
thought t had the answer: when an overload
was found, require the trucker to dump a log
or cut off the end to bring his load within legal
limits. Now the loggers in the Eugene area are
rising in protest against this plan. They say it
wastes needed timber and the time of loggers
and truckers. So they demand a change and
threaten "drastic action" if something Isn't
done about; it sp -
What the loggers really want is a footage scale
instead of weight measure. Few operators have
scales in the woods to weigh loads as they are
being made up, but they could easily scale the
logs. The trouble with this is that there is a
wide difference in weight per thousand . board
feet of logs because of difference in moisture
content, etc . - "
The plain truth is that heavy log trucking
knocks the! life out of roads, and the overloads
' speed up the destruction. There is a tolerance of
, 10 per cent, over the established! maximum but
the truckers do not choose to regard this tol
erance as a margin for their safety, they try
to load up to the top of the tolerance and then
complain if they get caught.1 4 V
It seems j futile to try to work out any plans
which the Itruckers will respect, though this is
not true of many operators. It doesn't make
much difference what the plan is, unless it is
enforced strictly the trucks will be overloaded
and the highways ruined.

it be doubted that the over-all nazi command is

badly shaken west Rhineland defenses.
Just how; critical the Russian threat tcrVienna

Hungary. With the corner of Hungary south of Lake
Balaton between the Danube and the Drava, cleared
by the Russians of the foe to the marsh lands that
. border the southwestern extremity of the 50-mile-long
lake, red columnsNare beginning to converge
toward Vienna around both ends of the water bar

prong drive, up the Danube watershed into Austria.

between 2000 and 5000 feet and there are few easy

Stories that Hitler is dead ori

is Himmler got control because
Hitler fell out with Goering and
the army leaders, became in
volved in hot quarreling. No one
could maintain discipline except :
Himmler and his secret police.
The army took the military reins
from Hitler and cooperated with
Himmler to enable him to main
tain civilian dicipline.!
Furthermore, the Prussian gen
erals have been able to maintain
'army morale throughout the re
treat from France, the Balkans
and eastern Europe. This retreat
was sold to the soldier and the
people as an orderly withdrawal
to reduce the length of the fight

In the formation of an Italian
cabinet is of a piece with the
use of British troops to sustain
the government of Premier Pap
andreou in Greece.V 1
- No one can say that the British
were not aware of the attitude
of the Greek underground. In
August of 1943 representatives
of the underground were taken
by submarine from Greece to
Carlo for conference with the
exiled Greek government there,
'headed by Premier Emmanuel
Tsouderos. At the end of the con.
ference the represntatives of the
Greek resistance parties formally
advised Premier Tsouderos as
follows: , :
: Tor the sake of national unity,
which alone insures the success
of the national struggle, and the
normal . developement of the
country,' it Is' necessary that it be
announced that the king will not
return to Greece before the peo-
,ple have decided on the form of
jgbvernment', j. .:' J- -
King George rejected the ad
vice and the premier sided with
the king. The friction continued
! and increased. In April ot this
year Sophocles Venizelos, son of
1 the former premier, tried to form
j a government when Tsouderos
f resigned, but he failed. Papan
Idreou, who had escaped from an
! Athens prison where the Germans
Ihad him confined, became pre
mier and endeavored to reconcile
'first liberation of the couhtrv
from foreign (occupation, and
second, establishment of a pop
ular governinent after the, lib
eration." The support the Greek
people have given to this move
ment is attributed to "their re
action to the misery, starvation
and moral-degradation to which
they have been subjected." The
struggle now going on is not sim
ply a red plot to impose a dic
tatorship. . Writing to the nation last May
Basil Vlavianos, editor of a Greek
language newspaper in New
York, made the following com
ment on British policy in Greece:
"The British government's pol
icy toward Greece runs counter
to British public opinion It is
inspired by fear of communism
and of Russian influence in the
Balkans, but it is destined to
have;! the opposite effect from
what its sponsors intend. It will
lose - them friends throughout
eastern Europe and will paralize
the Greek iarmed forces and the
Greek underground resistance
at a' time when their cooperation
can. be extremely useful to the
war effort and to the restoration
of a true democratic order in the
Balkans - .
- '.-..
.That prophecy seems now in
the way of , fulfillment The re
percussions of -this strife in
Greece may be far-reaching. Re
gardless of the imniediate Issues,
it will awaken distrust of British
motives and create fears that
allied victory will hot bring the
reforms the peoples have been
longing for. Once again the po
litical offensive fails to support
the military operations, to the
nun orie allied cause.
