We like to think that to the past belong the vast dark seas believed haunted by monsters, great tracts which cartographers could only label "terra incognita," the unknown land. In our pride, we have believed we had changed all that that the world was one, that lands and people were known one to another. Pride, always dangerous, comes here to yet another fall. For the brutal fact is that to day we know almost nothing of what goes on in the major part of the world. Three million men, says Tracy Strong, general secretary of the World Alliance of Y.M.C.A.'s, are prisoners of war today. Had you known that? Do you picture three mil lion men behind barbed wire? Where are all these men? How fares it with them? We do not know. Most of them, of course, are somewhere within Germany; some are in Canada, Eng land, Greece. But all are behind a veil of mystery, withdrawn from the land of the known. Three million men suddenly snatched away, not into death, but into darkness! What goes on in Czechoslovakia and Po land? No one knows, at least no one in the general world. Here teeming millions of people have been removed from the world's consciousness like figures erased from a blackboard. They exist, they go on some how, one believes. But how, and even where, we know not. The veil has blotted them out. What happens in that vast third of the occupied world known as Russia? We do rot know. There travelers cannot go with freedom, reporters cannot send out the piti ful scraps of information they may glean. Here another veil has been drawn around multiple millions. How do they fare in Holland, in Belgium, to Denmark and Norway and Sweden? We 'do not know only mere slivers of light pene trate this curtain. Normal travel, normal Intercourse between peoples of the world is completely shattered. ' The' Vnited States is probably the best in formed country in the world about the peo ples of the rest of the world. Yet even to us whole sections of that world, whole seething populations are as unknown as were the lands of Tartary to Europeans before Marco Polo. What then must be the ignorance of these veiled regions of the rest of the world? They talked, when war broke out in 1939, of a "New Dark Age" to come. Is it not, per haps, already here? SELECTIVE SERVICE AS A MIRROR Once again, selective service offers the United States a chance to look itself squarely in the eye. We took a good look in 1917-18, and we didn't like what we saw. Low intelligence ratings, all-too-high illiteracy, malnutrition, poor teeth all these things showed up in the mirror as we examined our young men. Now once again we hold up the mirror to a cross-section of young American men and what we see is not a cause for self-congratulation. Rejections for physical reasons have run from 10 to 25 per cent of men sent to camp for induction, and of course many of the more obviously unfit had been rejected by local draft boards before that final win nowing out. The standards of the army are not those of an Olympic athletic team. They require only good normal health and capacity. Yet up to 25 per cent of young Americans fail to show even that. There are failures here, failures of public health, of education, of clinical facilities, of diet. A sensible people will regard these levelations, not as something at which to wring ineffectual hands, but as a challenge. THUMBED NOSE TO THE VICTOR of Gallic wit, Gallic buoyancy, Gallic courage. Speaking of sleep, the rest of your days depends on the rest of your nights. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK OREGON'S "SUNKEN cm" (The Bend Bulletin) On lummer day back in 1924, a strange story came out of the isolated interior of Lake county a story of a "sunken city" whose walls were visible aboue the dry bed of, Thorn lake. The story re ceived a top head, page 1 position in a Portland morning paper, and the "discovery" was of such general Interest that the University of Oregon sent its department of geology head. Dr. Warren D. Smith, to Thorn lake, out in the sagebrush country northeast of Silver lake, for first-hand information, One look out over the dry lake basin, and Dr. Smith said something like this: "Shucks, le'ts go home." The lake bed formation that led to the be lief that walls of a sunken city were visible was described by Dr. Smith as "fossil cracks." That is, sun cracks in the ancient lake bed had filled with volcanic debris which was later cemented into place. Later, winds whipped across the basin, on occasions when Thome lake was dry, and the debris-filled sun cracks came into relief as "walls." A Bulletin reporter was present when Dr. Smith exploded the theory that walls of an ancient city were being exposed by the westerly winds of Lake county, and the old city was duly razzed in news stories that found their way out of Bend over press wires. At least, it was believed at the time that the sunken city" of Lake county had been wiped from the map of Oregon. Now, IB years later, it has .been found that the "sunken city" still has a place on an oil company map, distribution of which is probably second to none on the Pacific coast. Just southeast of lofty Table rock, as shown on this map, is the notation: "Thorne lake (dry)." In the center of that charted lake Is a tiny black square marked "Sunken City." Europe, whose cities appear to be in danger of disappearing under showers of demolition bombs, probably should take a few notes from map makers. At least, Oregon's "sunken city" is enduring. What's the use of being a Great Big Con queror if you can't get any respect out of the conquered? The Italians jumped into the war against France just before the final curtain. But they don't seem to have impressed even the conquered French as conquerors. At Mentone, on the new Italian-French border, waggish French soldiers are reported to have set up a sign facing Italy: "Notice to the Greek Soldiers: This is the French bor der." It must be galling to a conqueror to have the conquered thumb a nose at him thus. And, incidentally, it's the best sign we've teen in months that (omething yet remains WEEK-END ROUND-CP (The Klamath Evening Herald) The legislative committee on reapportionment met in Portland this week and made a tentative suggestion for the formation of a fourth congres sional district in Oregan, out of the following coun ties: Douglas, Coos, Curry, Deschutes, Jackson, Jef ferson, Lake and Klamath, At first blush, this appears to be a fairly reason able proposition. It cuts across the Cascade moun tains, but there are good roads and communication lines cutting across the Cascades that make it no such barrier as existed when the old congressional districts were formed. On the other hand, the new district would di vide the old sage-brush fraternity that exists among us folks on this side of the Cascades, now compris ing the second district. But maybe us sage-brush-ers could learn to get along with the folks in South ern Oregon valleys and coast country, WASHINGTON DAYBOOK By JOHN W. KELLY Register-Guard Washington Reporter WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 21. Complete shake up of the CCC camps is proposed by the American Youth Commission. Now that preparedness is the watchword, the AYC insists that the officers reserve be discontinued; that the officers go into camp of trainees; that war department be relieved of the task of operating the CCC camps and devote its complete time to responsibility for Fort Lewis and similar mobilization centers. Another objection raised against CCC is that approximately 60 per cent of the 25,000 supervisors are political appointees. Congressmen and former members of congress have chiseled in. All of the supervisors, or employes, draw pay from one source head of CCC although appointed by agri culture, interior and the office of education. Agri culture, as an example, uses CCC on forest pro jects; reclamation bureau uses CCC on the De schutes project; fish and wildlife (old biological survey) on projects with which it is concerned. These projects are scattered throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho and the rest of the states, and criticism which applies to one takes in all the rest. As AYC (headman is Owen D. Young of General Electric Co.) figures out, approximately 21,000 in CCC camps are on the payroll because of a political pull of sorts. With war department, interior de partment, agriculture department and office of ed ucatoin splitting charge of the camps, the wonder Is that CCC has managed to get along as well as It has. Now, however, AYC believes a change is es sential and would first lop off the war department and the reserve officers. Proposal is made that CCC be placed under Federal Security Agency, which is now under com mand of Paul V. McNutt. but with Director McEntee in charge of all units. Aside from the officers re serve, the suggestions will be vigorously opposed. e In an illustrated booklet, issued by the secretary of interior, the question is asked: "Do you know that the energy of the mighty Columbia river is being harnessed at Grand Coulee dam in Oregon and the Bonneville dam in Washington, and is being put to work at converting the Pacific northwest into productive empire?" As this is an official document, It should have its facts straight. e One reason taxes of the American citizen will be upped next year is to take care of the foreign loans being placed. These loans, to date, include China, $145,000,000; Argentina, $140,000,000; Uruguay, $7, 500,000; with applicatrons coming from Cuba for $50,000,000 and Spain for $100,000,000. Spain agrees not to join Hitler and Mussolini if the loan is ad vanced for food. Mexico Is now negotiating for a loan, said to be about $100,000,000 that appears to be the minimum. For these amounts Mexico agrees to grant naval bases: Cuba wishes to arrange its sugar; Franco promises to purchase wheat: China will buy war munitions. There are a dozen other Latin American countries standing in line waiting their tum not to mention the British. When the price of bread goes up later these loans will have something to do with it also the defense program. e a Reclamation Commissioner Page, In his annual report to secretary of the interior, calls attention that everyone should be familiar with the antl speculatlon act as applied to Grand Coulee, which limits land ownership to specified acres, rage re ports that there are sections of Grand Coulee which may, and probably will, remain without water for more than 20 years. Commissioner Page Is Issuing the warning because of reports that in tending settlers are now being Offered land which has no prospect of water for some time. Land own. ers, he says, have a right to dispose of their hold ings, but unless they make an agreement with the government water will not be furnished. e e Senator Charles L. MoNary, In hospital at Salem, is making several new Republican senators fidget, as they are anxious to receive their committee as signments. There Is nothing to be done about it, however, until the minority leader recovers suffic iently to return to his office. Incidentally, one of the first things the President did when he returned from his cruise in the Caribbean was to lnauire about McNary.
