The American people are entitled to know what is going on. If there is one thing that stands contrary to every American principle, it is to have any arrangements or understandings with any country which the people do not know about. It is all very well to protect military se crets by closed hearings and unrecorded tes timony. But it is quite another to have lliSCUSSiOnS of foreign policy itself In secret. Can it be true, as reported, that the Presi dent pledged the Military Affairs Commit tee to secrecy in a recent hearing "lest de tails of the policy involved frighten the public"? This is scarcely credible. What kind of a policy is it that would "frighten the public"? Isn't it the same pub lic which in case of war would be asked to wage it unfrightcned? Isn't the public made up largely of the same people who would In war be drafted into the army and asked to face an enemy, unfrightcned? Isn't the public the same one which might be asked to hide underground at Die alarm of air at tack, unfrightcned? The American public is not SO easily frightened. It is entitled to know the facts of life. it has not forgotten, for instance, how the diplomacy of Sir Edward Grey had the British in a box when the World War broke out. Grey left them no choice whatever but to enter the war. There was no formal mili tary alliance with France. But close co operation between the general staffs, mili tary and naval, and many "conversations" between civilian leaders, had made the two countries inter-dependent and closely linked. When war came, the British people had no genuine free choice. The United States wants undertakings, or obligation, spoken, written or unwrittei to it a free choice if there i war. This is not to argue that we should refuse to sell airplanes to France, We are already selling war supplies to Japan to help il bomb the independence out of the Chinese, We are selling them to South American countries whose current governments are less than completely democratic, In fact, we are selling them to all comers except to the legal Spanish government. Probably it Is all light to sell planes to France. But we have a right to know precisely what policies we are being com mitted. Nothing less than that will sus tain popular confidence in those policies. bled out of their houses in terror during jMiSS TobGy Ctnci the radio invasion ot the Martians last year to step quietly outside and take a calm look at the red planet whose name is that of the Roman god of war.

WASHINGTON LETTER IK freemen ts. poken or uil that will deny another world riy nnucK catton Register-Guard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 13. By finy tho national tal is exciting enough, By night it is nothing When the sun goes down they turn on the floodlights. Then the Capitol dome floats over the dusk, white and shining; the Washington monu men riBOs like a pillar of fire by night; and a marble Abraham Lincoln sits in his great chair in the Lincoln Memorial and through some trick of the lighting seems to look out with a brooding tenderness at these two symbols of his country. These three things . . . Capitol, monument and memorial . . . somehow sum up the best that The best place lo go to see them is the open space in front of the Lincoln Memorial. To tho east the monument; a tall, unadorned shaft which is a constant reminder of the man and the spirit that brought the country to birth. Beyond it the t.'apitol. All you can see of it is the dome, made small by distance, gleaming as white and in substantial as the dome of some city imagined but never seen. And behind you are the tall columns of the memorial, with the great statue within soft ened and humanized by the lights. Night Kind to Imperfections Now in ordinary times, it is easy enough all too eusy, perhaps lo remember you country's im perfections down here In Washington. Under that gleaming dome of the Capitol, for Instance, there sits a cross-section of the electorate; men who often enough make mistakes and think of their own fortunes instead of their country's and share in all of the faults common to all the rest of us. Milt by night, when the lights are on, you don't think of that, For if you see the reality by daylight, at night you see the ideal. And in the long run the ideal Is always more important than the reality. What America always wants to be, often honestlv trie. to be and now and then gloriously succeeds in be ing, is the justification for her existence. And it is that which you see at night. Then the shining dome of the Capitol is more than just the top of the government's most im portant building. It is the symbol of u society where men are free; a society in which men strive lo get along together, in which one man's ad vantage is not another man's disadvantage, and in which every man has his Chance to get as much human happiness and contentment as fate will let him have. And as the white dome symbolizes that, and By MARIAN LOWRY pWO engagement announcements were made this week-end. Miss Margaret Tobey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobey, an nounced her engagement to Wil liam Hewitt of Marshfield, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.

W. with free society's ultimate triumph, so does the Wash ington monument symbolize the devotion, the en duranco and the selfishness on which the nation was founded, la IVIentorlarn We can forget those things, and we do for get them much of the time. But they were real. Neither the monument nor the dome would be there If they weren't. What we have today was paid for by other men's sacrifice and built upon their vision of n better order of things; and that Shaft that reaches up townrd the stars, and chal lenges the shadows with Its light, Is a great re minder of II. Then there is the Lincoln Memorial. It is a huge building, and it contains nothing at all but a stable anil a few words carved on its walls; yet its half-lit dusk is populous with memories and dreams, and its silence is eloquent with thu things the nation said in its hour of agony and crisis. Here is in, mers memorial to n war between states: here again is a symbol a symbol of the toughness, the vision and the compassion which a rough-hewn, closo-to-the-soll people found within themselves when they needed them most The saving grace of the national soul must reside somewhere close to this echoing chamber.

Miss Gray is a student of Aurora Potter Underwood at the Today's Recipes (By NEA Service) JDA TARBELL reports in her life of Lincoln that he was a great one for fruit pies in his bachelor days, and that after he went to the White House as president, several Illinois ladies used to ship pies to him there. Here's a modern, labor-saving fruit pie, with patriotic stars ot crisp pastry, for dinner on the 12th of February in honor of Abra ham Lincoln's birthday. Date Pie (6 portions) One and one-half cups water, 1 1-2 tablespoons quick cooking tap ioca, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 14 teaspoon salt, 2 cups quartered dates, 2'z tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons lemon juice.

Candy Fence Ralls (About 18) During his rail-splitting days, Lincoln kept his pockets filled with candy for the children who used to talk to him. That gives a hint for a Lincoln's birthday table decoration Candy Fence Rails and a few toy trees to add green realism. One square unsweetened choco late, 2-3 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup confectioner's sugar, Yi teaspoon vanilla, u2 cup cocoa nut toasted under the flame. Melt chocolate in top of double boiler.
