Contrast Between Switzerland and Italy Depicted by Dean (Editor's Note: This is one of several articles written for this newspaper by Eric W. Allen, dean of the University of Oregon school of Journalism who trav eled In Europe on a fellowship granted by the Oberlaender Trust of the Karl Shurz memorial foundation.). By EEIC W. ALLEN, Dean of the University of Oregon School of Journalism. MEIRINGEN, Switzerland. Ev ery American ought to have the ex perience we have just had, of pass ing from a land of whispers and spies into a country of ancient and unquestioned freedom. The Fourth of July is a good day for tne trip. In the early days in the west a certain kind of whiskey was said to be capable of making a rabbit spit in a bulldog's face, and similarly it was interesting to notice that a somewhat extended stay in the un free land of Italy made the wicked ly effective defences with which the Swiss have adorned the St. Gott hard pass look mighty good to the pacifist lady in our party. A great deal of hokum has been written about Mussolini. Well made hokum is nothing but the truth seen a little out of focus and with a false emphasis. The hasty American tourist is, the writer is inclined to believe, a far from shrewd observer. Why does he think the dictator has seized con trol of the press and has spread a network of spies to control even private conversation? One of the purposes of the clever manipulator at Rome is to make tourists think and talk in a certain way, and like guinea pigs in a laboratory they do just what they were intended to do. Is the miracle-man talk that the tourist brings home from Italy a tis sue of lies? Not at all; it is the truth but with many little bits of false emphasis at least so it seems after living and conversing in Italy for a longer time than most trip pers. The writer was in Italy in 1923, before fascism could have had any particular effect and while conver sation was still rather free, again in 1927 and again now. The changes for the better in fourteen years have been considerable, but they did not seem to the writer to be essentially different from the Im provements fourteen years have brought In Oregon and other Amer ican states, Canada, Mexico, Japan, China, England, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and other places where he has been The roads in Italy are distinctly good just as, in the year 1936 they are distinctly good almost every' where. Oregon, with 1,000,000 pop ulation has about as good roads and possibly about as much paved sur face as Italy with 45,000,000 possi bly more and possibly less figures are not available here but it seemed that we struck gravel oftener in Italy than at home. When one controls a press, one is in a condition to claim credit lor everything. Did Mussolini build all these roads? All European roads are lined with trees and on most of these good roads In Italy the bordering trees are far older than fascism. We drove down the peninsula on the Via Flamlnia which is much praised for its straightness and good engineering. This road was engineered by the Censor Calus Flaminius In the year 220 before Christ, and In ancient times Italy was famous for its ex cellent straight Roman roads. They are still there, Italian hotels are good; they were good In 1922 and are somewhat, but not miraculously better now. Cadg ing for tips is not much worse In Italy now than it is In the Eastern part of the United States. Just be fore fascism came into power the hotel drivers made a drive against the tip nuisance and In 1923 the system of charging a definite amount on the bill for "service" was already In force. The need for an extra tip on top of that has rather crept back, II anytning, since las- cism. But it is not bad about as in the American east. Begging on the streets Is now about on par with what one finds In Portland. Mussolini, with all his faults, has several eneaelns: virtues. One of -them is that, like an American bus iness man, he gets up early and puts in a hard day's work at his desk. He attends to business. If one is to Judge Italy, much de pends upon what standard one is to apply. pies the world has produced. They invented modern banking, they started the recivilization of the world after the dark ages, they have been wonderful engineers, builders and architects, and as painters and sculptors they have surpassed ev erybody in their time. The single littl city of Florence has produced so many men of genius that it has n't enough streets to name after them. World famous men have been born in almost every little town through which one drives the Ford. Is this great nation to be judged by the social standards of Mexico and China, or by that of England, France, Germany, Ameri ca and Japan? If by the latter, its present achievement is respectable, but nothing to burn incense to. Switzerland has never had a dicta tor, but to come from Italy to Swit zerland, as we have just done, Is to experience a distinct and striking step upward In more senses than one. The roads are wider, smoother, better marked. The houses gleam with paint and cleanliness. Service is snappy and intelligent. Every body is highly educated. And ev erybody looks you straight in the eye and is free to say what he thinks about anything that interests him, and without regard to who s listening. And the Swiss have nothing like the resources of Italy. The great est resource of all good harbors on the sea they lack entirely. As one Swiss told me, they have three pro ducts for export, and in the case of all three the more they export the more they - have for themselves. scenery, electric juice and educa tion. Hard work and Intelligence have made the nation. They make their scenery more lovely by living in it and using it they do not hack it to pieces and destroy it They conserve their streams and mountains which become year by year more lovely, less subject to erosion, and more productive of the electric power that turns the wheels and makes Switzerland brilliant by night This fills with paying guests and in Switzerland it is the tour ist that pays and pays; prices are high this fills with paying guests the best hotels In the world which their higly intelligent and educat ed people know so well how to con struct and manage. And their won derful schools bring children of the rich from all lands to Switzerland for education and send out young Swiss as emigrants not for menial tasks but to be educators, lawyers, doctors and scientists and to be come the highest type of citizens in all the countries of the world. The Swiss are too Intelligent to think that national success can come only through colonies and con quest Accident Causes (Continued from First Page) iimiiiMiiiiHininiiiHiinmiiiiHiiinni At Heppner CHURCHES er to restrain from imbibing very long at a time, therefore, I believe these dangerous drivers should Le placed directly in the hands of the government, and that it should be done before they have wrought hav oc trying to mix liquor and gasoline. Weather conditions are often blamed for many accidents, but in most cases of this type, a thorough diagnosis of the circumstances us ually reveal that carelessness en the part of the driver was the ac tual cause.

There have been similar accidents since, but the above mentioned will always remain vividly Imprinted upon my mind, a frightful picture of horror and grief, as we were the first to arrive to his assistance. The fated vehicle had given right-of-way to another, approaching from behind, at a slightly higher rate of speed. The slower car struck loose gravel, Jerked out of control, and ended overturned in a concrete irrigation ditch crossing the pavement at right ancles. This traffic bugaboo Is being fought by widening the pavement throughout the entire length of the highway. Despite the fact that highways ers in this community have driven that distance when so sleepy that they could hardly hold their heads up. There is no choice as to which is the most dangerous. These types of recklessness are dangerous, perhaps more dangerous than the careless operation of a mo tor vehicle. Lack of driving ex perience, or Inattentive driving thoueh both are to be condemned- do not usually necessitate an acci dent unless some other agency is Involved.
