ISe WltnOut ueldy. ana Wnen you
consider that even communists and
Nazis must be soldiers - though they
are few in Switzerland - it is an in
dication of the faith the Swiss put in
the disciplined loyalty of their demo-
cratic citizen-army Not one of the
Swiss with whom talked had ever
heard of case of military rifles
being used for illegal purposes.
I'm 1913" one man pointed out to
me. "our communists tried to start a
general strike, and several times since
then there have been communist led
riots. They have come out with clubs
and pistols. but never with their mill
tary rifles. And whenever the govern
ment has called out the soldiers to
stop a riot, even the communists who
were rioting have answered the call
and reported for duty"
isn't it because they are afraid of
punishment" asked.
Partly. perhaps" he said. But
there is more than that. 1t does some
thing to you to become soldier of
Switzerland. You feel it is important
to do your duty. You are glad you can
do it. don't know just how to say it,"
Dull bot Honorable
! WONDERED if it might be that the
Swiss just naturally liked being SOL
diers, and asked young man who had
just taken a six months leave of
absence from his job to 60 back and
serve with his company.
Like it?' he repeated. ''Of course
we don't like it, 1t is dull and un-
pleasant"
He showed me letter from friend
who is still serving on the border 81
am sitting on hilltop, having beau
tiful view into Germany" the letter
said. Il am on guard. watching. Imag
inc sitting somewhere in the Virginia
hills, watching to see if the citizens of
Maryland are coming to shoot at you!
We are digging day and night. week
days and Sundays. Nobody likes this
work. We are swearing the whole day.
But we do it, because we realize that
it has to be DONE"
THAT is how we feel about being
soldiers" the young man said. I'VE
just want to go on living as we always
have. That is why we are glad to be in
the army"
In the early weeks of the present
war in Europe, when Switzerland's
army was fully modified, more than
half a million men were under arms -
in a country with total population,
men, women and children, of only
about four million.
One man, an importer, who was in
Switzerland when the general mobiliz-
alton was ordered and served for sew
eral months as lieutenant with his
border company, told me of the way
the Swiss soldiers turned out for duty.
"A radio announcement AT HVe o CLOCK
in the afternoon called for all of the
advance-guard men to be at their
posts at dawn. But they didn't wait
for dawn" he told me. "All through
the evening, men in uniforms with
rifles and knapsacks were making their
way into the mountain passes. Nobody
wanted to go, but everybody went -
hours before they had to. And for
days, men we're coming back from
England and France and other coun-
tries, to join their companies, though
there was no way to make them come"
A first lieutenant of mountain ski
troops with whom talked was on his
way to Mexico, on leave to settle some
business. He had actually been born

hours before they had to. And for
days, men we're coming back from
England and France and other coun-
tries, to join their companies, though
there was no way to make them come"
A first lieutenant of mountain ski
troops with whom talked was on his
way to Mexico, on leave to settle some
business. He had actually been born
in Mexico, of Swiss parents, and raised
there. But when he was old enough for
military service his father sent him to
Switzerland so that he could serve.
1T is part of being real Swiss" he
explained to me, earnestly. "You hear
people say, oh, that man, he has not
been in the army 1t is not an insult.
because we know that the man must
have beenrejectedf for physicalreasons.
but it is not flatterlng description.
When heard here that some of your
young men were getting married to
avoid serving in the army, could not
understand it. In Switzerland, they
would have a hard time finding any
girl to marry them"
''Of course it is all new to us here"
l said. I'VE are very jealous of our
freedom"
He smiled, little pityingly. I'VE.
also, love freedom" he said. That is
why we are soldiers"
my son is going to be soldier,
too," said. And felt a surge of pride.

"TOtalitarian" France
(New York T'imes)

(New York Times)
 Behind Marshal Petains hint of "a new order" for the French people, behind the maneuvers of Pierre Laval and the submssiveness of the present regime toward the German conquerors, one can see France The Petan government may well prove to be only a transition to temporary "totalitarianSm Frenchmen themselves expect party govern ment before long, formed by little groups that found no place for themselves in the Third Republic.
 The natural leader of such movement is M. Laval It is true that he is product of the Re- public but it is also true that he has long believed in the closest ties with Italy, Germany and Spain as the only way of sef-preservaton for a weak and outnumbered France. If he salvage something of France if he create the sembance of Latin bloc of Italy France and Spain as an offset to German power it may matter little to him to see the Constitution suspended the press censored and the individual liberties of Frenchmen curtaled
 The attempt will be made by the Germans in coming months to indoctrinate French minds with fascism to poison them against democracy in all it's forms But if France goes Fascist it will not be by the free choice of the French people No genuinely democratic people has yet chosen to follow the Fas cSt way; and the French, of all peoples, will not choose it voluntarily If there is temporary phase of fascsm in France it will be the product of the defeat and the German occupation. For faSciSm is foreign to the undying spirit of France the savage death penalties decreed this week by the German Army commanders It is darkness that will surely pass when the shadow of Hitler has been lifted from the world.

ONLY 9,928,OO0 TO GO

The Philadelphia Record none of whose writers as nearly as we discover has to Alaska, thinks the Territory should have popula- ton of 100000O0 The Record has also determined at long range what these 100O0000 should live on It's private enterprise"
 Says a Record editorial
 Ernest Gruening Alaska's Governor, has em- phasized the weakness of the Territory a link in the United States defensive armor.
 'The of the matter is that there not than 1000 men in of 600000 square miles who able to offer organized resistance to an invasion of Alaska It has become an imperative of national defense that in addition to the military plant Congress has voted for Alaskan protection, we enter upon a program for the settlement and de- veopment of the rich land Secretary Ickes among others has urged.
 Alaska has a population of 60000. It could support as many as 10000000 persons if private enterprise, helped and supervised by the Govern ment, could build the potential economy"
 Oh we'll it's refreshing to hear somebody stick up for an 1ckes proposition anyway

EYES ON THE ATLANTIC

One of the less spectacular but very important provisions of the Franco German armistice stipu- lates that after the with England is over Ger occupation of the French Atlantic coast will be reduced to what is absolutely necessary This can have but one meaning-that Germany intends to retain naval and air bases along the coast of the Channel perhaps including Boulogne sur -Mer, Dun- kerque and Calais.
 This would mean not only continuance of the aerial and naval threat to Great Britain after a Nazi victory but also the emergence of Germany as a major maritime power on the Atlantic Ocean. Just as Russia has been trying for centuries to gain an ice-free port on the Atlantic so Germany has aspired to advantageous maritime outlet than through the North Sea
 The stipulation of permanent Nazi occupation of the Channel coast of France does not necessarily imply cession of that territory to the Reich in a peace settlement But it might mean that. And

 Mingled good and ill are indi- cated by the configuration for to- day. In the morning hours the judgment may be uncertain. Ad- verse aspects rule women. There is benefic sway for employers who may clash with labor.
 Heart and Home: Women may be peculiarly sensitive to weather con- ditions today and should overcome an inclination to be irritable or ex- acting. It is a lucky date for sign ing contracts or planning for the future. Girls may find the evening fortunate for friendships wi h young men, but romance will not flower under this direction of the stars.
 Business Affairs: Merchants and manufacturers may expect great activity in coming weeks. The stars presage continued prosperity but it is wise to prepare for in- creased taxes. Dealers in leather and in woolen goods will profit as demands pile up for footwear and uniforms of many sorts. Chemists will be fortunate as their services will be of increased value in many industries.
 National Issues: AS presidential candidates present claims to the highest office in the United States government party lines will be less definite, owing to the chaos in world affairs which preSageS the need of men tried in the fires of war experience and war diplomacy The counsel of leading military and naval commanders will be sought with special interest. International Affairs: Dis IT, guished visitors from overseas will l find refuge in the United States as the second world war extends | to distant colonies. Aid for the Allies is to bring about diplomatic problems of serious implication Training camps for service in army navy and aviation branches of the service will assume significance Girls in large numbers will enroll for the Red Cross and for nurs- ing, if the stars are rightly read.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair ly good fortune, although anxiety regarding the youth of the family is indicated.

 In short one of the objectives of Nazi Germany is to establish herself the dominant maritime nation of Western Europe This is an important and sinister addition the already obvious aspra- ton to continental hegemony. For it foreshadows a time if Germany wins the war, when the United States will confront hostile and aggressive mari time rival on the Atantic-for the first time in our history since the War of 1872
