Free Speech in
Told by
(Editor" Note: Because of the
great interest they are sure to
arouse, the following article by
Eric W. Allen, dean of University
of Oregon school of journalism, and
one last week were published sep
arately from the regular series of
his stories based on his travels in
Europe. The regular series will be
resumed later.)
By ERIC W. ALLEN,
Dean of the University of Oregon
School of Journalism.
HAMBURG, Germany. In Ore
gon one says Just what one thinks,
or If one keeps still it is merely be
cause he is too lazy or too polite to
argue.
What Is conversation like in a
dictator country where there is no
freedom of speech, where no free
newspapers, filled with all sorts of
stories and interviews, are con
stantly suggesting that there are
two or more sides to all questions,
and where there is an official doc
trine with which it is more or less
dangerous to disagree?
How should a foreigner, deeply
habituated to the freedom of Ore
gon, conduct himself when entering
this strange environment as a
guest? The question grew more
urgent as the time for actually en
tering Germany drew nearer. In
Paris the writer sought the advice
of various newspapermen who had
worked in the country, and partic
ularly that of Edgar A. Mowrer, of
the Chicago Daily News, who, while
president of the foreign correspond
ents' association in Berlin, had been
warned by the government that his
life would be in danger unless he
left the country.
The decision was reached that,
limited only by the ordinary rules
of courtesy and good feeling, the
writer would, in Germany, say ex
actly what he thought and believed
on any and all occasions. The re
sult has been five months of extra
ordinarily interesting conversations,
perhaps more so than were ever en
' joyed before in a fairly long life of
interviewing all sorts of people. My
wife has kicked my shins under the
table once or twice as a signal to be
more discreet, but apart from that
no harm seems as yet to have come
from the policy.
The young Nazis take it in good
part when told that they are poison
ously wrong about the Jews, about
the Nordic race, about the misdeeds
of the American newspapers,
(meaning principally their alleged
unfairness to Germany), about war
guilt, about violence, about liberty
and about two thirds of the other
things on which they are trained to
hold fixed views and cultivate strong
emotions. They start in to argue
with great animation and no ap
parent hard feelings, and of the
non-Nazis about half are more or
less in agreement with the Ameri
can skeptic. In fact, one gains the
impression that to listen to a skep
tic is a pleasure which Germans en
joy more than Americans do prob
ably because it is a pleasure they
have all to seldom.
For a native the story might be
different We sat next at the hotel
table in Kopenhagen to a young
German who had just escaped from
a concentration camp in his native
land. But one gathers that the art
of disagreement and argument has
not yet died out in Germany.
In Italy, which has been under
censorship and suppression four
teen years to Germany's three, the
situation is different. There one is
quickly hushed up if there is any
chance of being overheard. One is
seriously and very urgently requests
ed not to mention a certain indi
vidual by name even when the ser
vant knows no English, but to re
fer to him as the prominent citi
zen," or "the big boy" or "this man
here," expressions that will carry
no particular meaning to snoopers.
In Italy, conversation is no long
er very Interesting even when full
discretion is assured. The people
no longer have Interesting ideas
only the stale ones handed out by
the state. It is not so much that
the people are afraid to talk but
they are no longer supplied with in
teresting and conflicting facts to
talk about At least that was the
writer's observation, checked up by
conferences with others in an even
better position to judge. The coun
try seemed an intellectual vacuum.
But Germany has had excellent
universities and schools until re
cently, and in some limited respects
they are still good. She has still an
enormous body of highly educated,
carefully trained, exceedingly con
scientious and earnest Intellectual
workers. They are noted for their
honest thoroughness. They are the
strength of the nation. Whether
she can continue to produce the
type, with the schools turned over
to the methods of propaganda and
censorship, is a question which wor
ries even many Germans them
selves. But what can they do about
it?
After visiting six or ten German
universities, the Impression left was
one of sadness. Their buildings arc
splendid, their professors, except
for some recent political appointees,
appeared to be men of the highest
type vigorous, keen scholars of
great learning, abounding person
ality, unremitting Industry and re
sponsible, naturally honest mind.
Germany is undergoing a great rev
olution that strikes deep into the
national life, politically, economic
ally, religiously, socially and educa
tionally. It would ill become an out
sider to criticize any of the ways re
sponsible educators of this type are
meeting the difficult situation. They
appeared, almost without exception,
to be trying to do what seemed to
them to be best for their country
and for the world.
It Is not censorship alone, nor the
necessity of substituting propagan
da for inquiry that is weakening
German education. Another influ
ence is the lack of books and news
papers from abroad and the Impos
sibility of indulging In foreign trav
elnever more necessary for the ed
ucator than today. The traveller in
most Instances can take only ten
marks of German money out of the
country. Opportunities for travel
are therefore extremely rare, and
Germany Is daily knowing less and
less of the true thought of foreign
nations. This is very dangerous.
Germany
University Dean
It is difficult too, to send out money
for the purchase of books and news
papers. I examined the American
and English shelves in various uni
versity journalism departments and
found them lacking In important
recent books that every unversity
ought to have.
Most German journalism profess
ors conduct complete courses in
"Public Opinion," yet only one was
found who had even heard of the
recent advances made in America
in the art of measuring Public Op
inion scientifically the pages of
mathematically weighted question
al re material that now appear in
full page or half page form in most
large American Sunday papers. And
the one who had heard of It had
heard only vaguely, and had no
copy.
In Austria, where the dictator
ship is only two years old, the dis
ease has not progressed so far. The
newspapers are still filled with news
of interest, particularly on foreign
affairs, and people are found in
conversation to have something of
the acuteness and wide philosophic
al views about life and society that
are common in free countries like
Switzerland, Denmark, America,
France, and England.

Oregon Expected to Grow
Most Crested Wheat Seed
Oregon will have the lagrest acre
age of crested wheat grass next year
ol any state in the Union, Judging
from present plans for seeding this
grass by eastern Oregon farmers
and stockmen. A jump from about
3000 acres grown this year to about
53,000 acres next year is in prospect,
according to v. K. Jackman, ex
tension agronomist at Oregon State
college, who has recently checked
up on seed supplies on hand,
As soon as the new agricultural
conservtaion program was put into
effect, eastern Oregon county agents
sensed the fact that the use of
crested wheat grass on sub-mar
ginal grain lands of the Columbia
basin and other eastern Oregon sec
tions would provide one of the best
means of cooperating with the pro
gram and improving the basic agri
cultural set-up of the entire re
gion," said Jackman.
"As crested wheat grass seed is
not available in unlimited quanti
ties, it appeared that only those
forehanded to obtain supplies would
be able to use it. The extension
service located available seed sup
plies in all states where crested
wheat grass is being grown, and
growers ordered practically all of
the seed offered. As a consequence,
Oregon now has on ,hand enough
seed to boost the present acreage
more than 17 fold."
Of all the many new grasses in
troduced into Oregon by the state
college experiment station and ex
tension service, crested wheat grass
has proved to have by far the most
advantages for large-scale produc
tion over a wide area. It is a long-
lived perennial bunch grass, high
ly drouth resistant and able to with
stand other adverse conditions, such
as cold weather and heavy grazing.
Crested wheat grass starts growth
at a lower temperature than other
cultivated perennial grasses, thus
making earlier pasture. Owing to
its early spring growth and exten
sive root system, it has the ability
to compete successfully with weeds,
both while becoming established
and afterwards. Its excellent
growth and extensive fibrous root
ing system makes it Ideal in check
ing both wind and water erosion.
Fruit Butter Making Time
At Hand Again in Oregon
With the coming of another fall,
hundreds of Oregon homemakers
are busy with fruit butter making
again, converting the abundant sup
ply of apples, crab apples, apricots,
peaches, plums, quinces and grapes
and other fruits into appetizing
spreads for winter use.

when juice has been extracted for
jelly making. This residue may be
used as a source of pulp for a fruit
butter.
While only sound fruit should be
used to make butters, sound por
tions of windfalls or culls may be
cut out and cooked for this purpose,
Miss Case says.
To make fruit butter, wash the
fruit thoroughly and prepare as
follows for cooking:
Cut apples in quarters and add
half as much water or cider as fruit.
Scald apricots or peaches, remove
skin and pits, crush, and cook in
own juice.
Cut crab apples in quarters, re
move stems and blossom ends, add
half as much water as fruit
Remove grapes from stems, crush,
and cook in own juice.
Quarter pears and add half as
much water as fruit.
Crush plums and cook in own
juice.
Cut quinces into small pieces and
add half as much water as fruit.
Cook with constant stirring until
the fruit is soft. Put through a col
ander, then through a fine sieve to
remove all fibrous material and give
a smooth mass. Measure the pulp
and add one-half the measure of
sugar. Add a little salt spices as
desired, and lemon Juice if needed.
Cook rapidly with constant stirring
to prevent scorching. When the
butter is thick and has taken on a
glossy sheen, pour while boiling hot
into sterilized containers, and seal.
Use only fresh spices and only
enough to give a delicate spiced
flavor, advises Miss Case. It is a
mistake to add so much spice that
the natural fruit flavor is obscured.
If a light-colored butter is desired,
whole spices may be tied in a small
cotton bag and left In the fruit but
ter only during the cooking period.
