IN DARKNESS AND SILENCE
We moderns take pride in the fact that
the world is known to us today. 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mystery, withdrawn from the land of the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.

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.

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.
