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.).

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

in all the countries of the world.
The Swiss are too Intelligent to
think that national success can

er to restrain from imbibing very

these dangerous drivers should Le

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. Despite ice and snow, a
school bus driver in my Grange
community has established a record
of accident-free driving. He take3
ordinary precautions that all driv
ers should observe, makes good
time on the road and is not a pub
lic menace. 1
I believe it the duty of the
Grange as an organization of com
munity service to do all in its pow
er toward promoting general safety
throughout the highways of the
United States through education,
legislation, and cooperation.

was caused by loose gravel along
the edge of the pavement. 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
