PERFECT PERFORMANCE
Certainly Mr.. Schuman can
never expect to have his symphony
played any better than il was last
night by Koussevitsky, 10 whom
the work is dedicated.
Alphabetically commanding

Another thing we found, partic-

of variety in Instrumentation.

WASHINGTON.-Back in the days
Of the first World war. just after
this country had gotten into it, this
writer was informed that a Cleve-
land archeologist named Gates had
written Secretary Of War Newton q.
Baker about a secret German wire
less station near Mexico City,
which was flashing information
about our military and naval prep
arations to Berlin.
This writer, then correspondent
for newspaper very critical OF
Baker, asked the Secretary about it
at a press conference. Baker ad-
mitted he had received the letter,
had referred it to the state depart
ment, but that nothing had been
done about it.
Long after the war, the writer and
Baker spent an evening together and
hashed over many of their rows OF
bygone days.
why don't you do something
about that Mexican Wireless?' the
writer asked.
Il knew all about it before Gates
wrote me, said Baker. but what
you didn't realize at the time was
that | wanted Germany to get the
news of our military preparations.
| knew the Germans. underestl-
mated what we could do. The facts
were all calculated to undermine
their morale, destroy their con-
fdence, and hence shorten the war.
So the last thing | wanted to do was
to interfere with any good channel
they had for communicating the
facts to Berlin
All of which is recited now be-
cause it may have some applica-
ton to an existing situation, which is
causing a lot of worry to the edito-
rial writer's of the country, II not to
the administration itself.
INTENTIONAL SLIP?
For it is the cold judgment of this
writer that the testimony OF Chief
of Staff Marshall. with regard to
the transfer of planes to the Pacific
fleet, is Of a piece as to admins
tration motive with this Baker story
of 1918.
II this is a correct Interpretation
then the joke is on the Japanese
espionage service in this country, for
it means that our own high admins

that the Japs would get a certain
bit of information, were concerned
lest they should miss I'll

Strive to Protect

Suggestions are pouring in on the
White House as to how to solve this
business of preventing the news
papers from publishing information
of military value to this country s
enemies-or, since we are not at

technically to say information
knowledge of which by certain for

None Of them, so far as this writer
has been able to learn, go to the

ton, fiattering as it may be to news
paper writer's and publishers as in
dividuals, is too childish for words.

certainly the answer is not so SIM
pie as TO stop the newspapers from
printing them.
AIRCRAFT TO PACIFIC
Let's look at what actually hap
pened in this much talked about in
cident. Chief of Staff Marshall
talked to a senate committee IN
executive session. Somebody who
heard him "leaked" to news writer's,
whereupon some of the things he
said were printed next morning. The
ticklish part of this was that the
United States was rushing fighting
planes to its Pacific fleet.
Now assume for a moment that
there had been no leak to the news
papers, Suppose it was a dark
secret until General Marshall took
the senate committee into his conf
dence. Here you would have group
of senators-15 or 10 in number
hearing startling piece of informa-
ton. =
Does anyone have the slightest
doubt that this story would have
been told at dozen dinner parties
that night? Does anyone doubt that
b the Japanese embassy would have
heard it before midnight? Less i'm
.portant stories than that get round
much faster than that in Washing
ton.

SMUGGLED out of Norway, message brings
US new example of Nazi terror tactics. After
an R.A.F. bomber raid on the aluminium
plants at Hoyanger, four unexploded bombs
were discovered by the Germans. Nazi author-
ties informed the local population that these
bombs were extremely dangerous and would
have to be removed No German life would,
however, be placed in jeopardy, the Nazi
commandant said. He then sent to the prison
for ten Norwegian patriots who had been
sentenced to death. Pointing to the unex-
ploded bombs, the commandant told the
prisoners to remove and destroy them You
are already under sentence of death, he said,
land you have not much to lose"
These loyal Norwegians, rank amateurs
in the field of explosives. accepted the chal-
lenge without hesitation, and successfully re-
moved the bombs; whereupon they were
brought back to prison. Two of the men who
thus put the Nazis to shame were the we'll
known editors Christian S. Oftedal and
Fritjof Lund, who together with eight Others
were sentenced to death on February a.
i94l, allegedy because they had given mill
tary information to the British.
