The Darkness Deepens

to forced labor in Germany. In
Holland. Poland Norway, and Bel
gium there has been turmoil and
resistance, and such university life
as remains is under the strictest
Nazi supervision. Over the whole
continent, the number of teachers
has been reduced at least SO per
cent, the Foundation estimates. The
universities lead a precarious and
dWindling existence Soon it will be
dark.
Why is this important? Not mere
~ because of the individual trag-
edies to thousands directly affected.
Because the science and learning
fostered in their universities and
institutions was of value to all the
people; even those who never step
ped ON to a campus or through an
academic door profited by free ac-
ademic institutions.
What now? knowledge has never
floWered in a subject people" says
the report. 1T is only free men
who. dare to think. and it is only
through free thought that the soul
of a people can be kept alive"
Worse than the bombing of build
ings. worse than the manning of
bodies, is this deliberate attempt
by repression and violence and
propaganda, to destroy the soul of
peoples.
Imperial Valley press., 1941-04-03

It has been usual to think of the
overflowing of the Nazi tide across
Europe as a sort of blackout. dark
ening of the spiritual lamps which
cast light on many peoples. But the
details of this blackout as revealed
by the Rockefeller Foundation s
annual report, are genuinely terri
flying The Foundation, which has
extended help to many European
institutions of learning, Is in close
touch with them. There IS every
reason to believe that the picture
it paints is accurate.
The pattern has been followed
in country after country. At first
the universities and schools are al
lowed to carry on with their work,
under close supervision of both
teaching and student activities by
Nazi functionaries. Then, gradually,
an attempt is made TO force on
them a cultural program . similar
to that in force in the German
universities That brings resistenre
from teachers and students accus-
toned to freedom. Then comes re-
preston. the closing of the uni
versities, the sending of teachers to
concentration camps, the breaking
up by force of student demonstra-
tionS.
The Czech universities were closed
and most of their students deported

COOPERATION WITH FOES

If the government can prove that Har-
ry Bridges even ''cooperated' with COM
munists and other groups seeking to
overthrow of the United States, that
alone should be enough to warrant
Bridges deportation to whatever place
that can be found which will accept him.
Bridges may argue that he played
BALI with the communists simply to inn
prove labor's strength. Such an argu-
ment would only show the warped man
ner of his thoughts. There is no actual
difference in cooperating" with an enc
my of our country, and being an admit
ted enemy. Either way, the country is
harmed.
The communists strengthened Bridges
nobody doubts that. But Bridges
strengthened the communists, too. Far
more than they strengthened him. If
there IS any difference between Bridges
and the communists, it is the difference
between a knife in the back and a bullet
in the stomach. Either one can be fatal.

A NEW UNITED STATES
FOR THE AMERICAS?

Is the evolution of history today work
ing toward creation Of United States
of the Americas?
1t is possible.
The United States of America-our
own U.S.A.-began as a confederation of
independent states, each considered by
some to be nation within its own right.
The idea that each state was entirely
independent of the others as a govern
ing agency was not entirely abandoned
until the Civil War was fought.
Today the Western Hemisphere nations
are moving closer and closer to one an
other in things Of government, and IN
matters Of economic cooperation. A hun
dred years from now, perhaps they will
represent one bloc of states, economical
ly and governmentally inter-dependent.
Worse things could happen.
Such grouping would assure the fast
er development Of regions not yet devel-
oped 1t would bring about a gradual
economic collaboration through which
the whole hemisphere would be better
served, with as little penalty as possible
for each separate region. 1t would as
sure greater understanding between
peoples, and lasting peace is built upon
understanding.
1t is impossible to say definitely what
would happen under such circumstances
but we can examine history to see the
possibilities We all know the economic
dominance the United States holds in
the world today. Its standard Of living,
from one coast to the other, is the high
est in the world. 1t has its problems, but
as a whole its people are far better off.
1t would not have been so had the orig
inal states insisted upon each remaining
a separate nation. No one of them would
have been strong, as the United States
is strong None would have been econom-
ically powerful within its own right.
None would have had access to the re-
sources Of the others without tariff re-
strictions, official jealOusies and per-
petual strife. Some regions, such as Ari-
zona and Nevada, most likely would have
been retarded hundred years in their
development
In union we found strength Would
there be more strength in a greater
union?
The objection is advanced that a hemi-
spheric union would be too unwieldy
Yet, to the people of Europe, the union
of most of a continent, such as we have
already accomplished here would seem
to be impossible-if it were not already
an accomplished fact on our side of the
Atlantic.
A Western Hemisphere union cannot
be a matter of few years, if it can be
accomplished at all But it presents an
interesting matter for speculation-and
possibly an interesting goal for man.

BRONC BUSTER
EXTRAORDINARY

Later, they bought a ranch in
Bountiful, Utah, and Brad went
there to boss it, going to school at
the same time. Whenever he need
ed money he and his brothers
would take time off to round up
wild range horses at $5 a head.
During one of these Working-vaca-
tions, the boys, still in their early
teens, shipped out $25O0 worth.
AT 20, he was wagon boSs-an
important job-for the Tx outfit
in Nye County, Nevada, and by
then he was one of the best riders
in the state. When local amateur
rodeos were held King entered

Then began a rodeo career that
reads like a Cowboys Who's Who.

pionship, and the Steer Trophy,
at Austin; the list is as long as
your arm, for roping and riding
