HE'LL FOR

In announcing at his press conference that
he had offered the help OF the Red Gross 10
Creen1anders in their emergency, President
ROOSEVELT very wisely sidestepped inquiries
as to application of the Monroe Doctrine to
the island, now technically under German
protection as a result of the Danish INVASION
His answer to his inquisitors was that
such questioning looks too far into the fu-
ture. That issue probably will adjust itself
without a declaration of policy by this gov
eminent. If it does not, there will be ample
time to make our views known later.
For the present, whatever is done about
Greenland and the administration of its af-
fairs is something for the Allies to consider.
Our only official interest is to see that their
decisions are not antagonistic to our national
welfare or jeopardize our security.
Actual German occupation, which is ex-
tremely unlikely, as the Berlin government
has it's hands full elsewhere, would Of course
call for complaint from Washington, if not
more drastic action. The same action would
follow establishment there of Nazi air bases,
which also is highly improbable.
However much HITLER may covet North
American conquests, he is not likely to seek
them as long as the Allies keep his forces
in combat on the European mainland. He
might want a foothold in Canada, from which
Great Britain is drawing munitions and pro-
visions, as we'll as manpower, but this is not
the time for him to try to establish it.
Altogether, Mr.. RoosEvELT's position of
waiting is we'll taken. The United
States just now has graver sources Of danger
than Greenland.

AN VICTORY

OBSTRUCTION of seven German destroyers
- at Narvik by the British navy is Of great
er importance than the loss Of those vessels
to the Nazis, great as that loss is.
If the British have, by this stroke, cut off
all possibility of ore supplies from the Swed-
ish mines for German shells and munitions
the strategical benefit to the Allies will be
inestimable.
But the defeat of the German squadron
there will not in itself assure this result. 1t
will also be necessary to drive out army con
~tingents the Germans were quick to land ir
the Narvik area.
1t may be the British were performing but
the first movement of a larger plan wher
they concentrated their effort on destruction
of enemy ships alone, and with that job dis
posed of will turn their attention to lane
forces; and that may prove the correct tao
tics, but it is to be considered that the long
err the German forces are left alone tn,
stronger will they make this position and s,
the harder t. rout when the second phase o
the plan is undertaken.
The naval engagement at Narvik, however
demonstrates once more the superiority O
the British navy and points with unerrin;
precision to the blunder HITLER made whel
he challenged its might. Whatever exceptio,
may be taken to the London cabinet policy
and especially to the policy of the prime min
lister, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN, who appears almos
irrevocably committed to second thoughts
the navy, once in action, is capable Of max
ing mincemeat of the enemy's navy in an,
battle in open waters.
This fact is what gives encouragement t.
a belief that the situation in the Baltic i
not so bad for the Allies as recent dispatche
seem to indicate. 1t is true that the mine
laid by the British just before the Nazi inva
sion of Scandinavia have not imposed a chez,
to. German craft there. HITLER's ships hav
sailed through the Skagerrak and the Katie
gat into the Baltic, apparently because hi
mine sweepers were able to detonate the Bri
lsh mines ahead of advancing Nazi warshipI

man navy, by a surface appraisal, is offse

SMALLER MOTORS FORECAST

Large automobiles with smaller motors, as
a result of a new fuel said to have twice the
driving power of gasoline, are envisioned by
Dr.. GUSTAV EGLoFF, research expert of the
American Petroleum Institute.
Earlier experiments with triptan, the new
product, involved a laboratory cost of $4,000
a gallon. Continued experimentation has re.
duced the cost to $50 a gallon. This gives the
technicians hope of getting the cost finally
down to that of present-day gasoline.
What other benefits are foreseen as a re-
suit of this discovery are not revealed. The
greatest benefit would be to get the price Of
fuel below the present average. Lacking this
it is not apparent to the lay eye that smaller
motors alone will justify a loud amer.
What we need is cheaper fuel. If the tax
levied upon gasoline is cut it would seem
unnecessary to cut motors.
1t is to be understood there is no com,
plant against taxation of motor fuels. and
oils as a means Of building and maintaining
highways. 1t is right that the users Of the
roads help support them, even to the extent
of paying the bulk of their cost and main.
%tenance.
But with state governments making greater
inroads on revenues from gas and oil taxes
for purposes totally ASSOCIATED from high
ways, and in many cases dissipating road
funds through bad administration, it is time
to demand establishments by which the own
ers of motor vehicles will be saved from ex.
tortionate levies.
No scientific advance in the automotive
field is to be decried. But an equitable tax on
motor fuel is properly the highest objective
to be sought.

A IN THE HOME

1t is customary to give advice on this and
that, and some of it is good.
This happens to be the case with recon-.
mendations for peace in the home, advanced
by DR.. JOSEPH K. FOLSOM, Tassar professor OF
sociology, before the conference on conserva.
ton Of marriage and the family at Duke uni
versity last week.
SAID DR.. FOLSOM: Don't use marriage as
an outlet for i'll feelings and home as a place
to blow off steam. Pay attention to personal
and cultural tastes and attitudes Of your
partner. L am not saying that correct verba.
behavior will solve every problem, for mar
rage can only be improved in piecemea
fashion, but verbal warfare among married
couples is dangerous and often tragic. Think
before you speak"
No set of rules which assure success can he
laid down for connubial peace. Too many
kinds Of disposition are involved for that
But what DR.. Folsom says will fit most cases
The world is still filled with couples who
nave survived the perplexities and anxieties
OF married companionship for many years by
keeping approximately to the course he lays
out Younger persons just starting out in thu
marital state could not do better than TAKE
his recommendations to heart.
There is as much need for courtesy ant
consideration, tolerance and sympathy, be
tween man and wife as between bushes.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
EDUCATION AS BIG BUSINESS
Hayden S. Pearson in Christian Science Moni

AS education has grown into big business in
the last generation, it has paralleled the pro
cedure of industry. In other words, our total
society has become the happy hunting ground
of specialists. Many of the readers of this ar
ticle can look back with the writer to the eX-
perienceS in a one-room rural school whose one
teacher taught all subjects to eight or nine
grades. We are not proposing a return to the
methods of the horse and buggy days, as in
trinsically valuable and sound as many OF
them were. The point is modern education is
in danger of being wasged by its tail.
First of all, we need to redefine our objec-
tives and then to simplify our program to
achieve the goal. Most of us will probably agree
that our aim in education is for the school to
do it's full share in developing boys and girls
into useful and happy citizens. The school is
only one agency set up and paid for by society.
And for years, society has increasingly turned
more duties to it.
In plain, everyday language, backed by COM
mon sense, we need to state our detectives
which might include: command of the funda-
mental subjects, a knowledge of the democratic
way Of life, the instilling of the Wlll-to-be a
good citizen, a common heritage of American
culture, vocational outlook, and esthetlc appre-
citation.
1t is true of education as of other profess
sions that the pendulum of new IDEAS ana the
cries has swung back and forth with confus-
ing ulpiIt nv
successfully ridden one idea after another to
the loss of boys and girls. Experimental schools
have promulgated their pet ideas before their
validity was proved. Psychologists and psychia-
trists have built up a dictionary OF terms too
often meaningless.
Once the detectives have been set up-objec-
tives that will lead to our goal OF developing
youth into useful and happy cltlzens-the cur
riculum can be planned accordingly, There is
nothing intrinsically mysterious 2oout school
ing; science has much to contribute IL 1t can
laa y, +o use its findings on a common sense
level. Society expects the schools to DO certain
specific Jobs. We need to brush away the cob
webs of extraneous materials and theories and
put our educational philosophy on a common
sense basis.
This is q nlea. to those who make the means
more important than the end in education. Ed
ucation will be sound in proportion as we keep
in mind that schools are for boys and girls.
BOYS and girls are not products for schools.
