DAVIES HAS SENSIBLE ATTITUDE

Attention should be paid to the opinions of Joseph H. Davies
former ambassador to Russia, concerning the part that nation
should play in the present world conflict We believe this is true
not only because Mr.. Davies is familiar with Russia, its govern.
ment and resources but because several years ago he released
opinions about the Soviets, regarded as ridiculous at the time,
but which have since been proven correct in the light of events
the past six months.
Mr.. Davies believes we would be playing direct into the
hands of the Axis if we insist that Russia enter actively into
conflict with Japan at this time. Such a move on her part, he
points out. would put her directly in the path of a pincers
movement by Japan and Germany. Russia, as Mr.. Davies fore
saw several years ago, is doing a surprisingly good job of re
ssting' the Germans. With huge amounts of material and an
indomitables spirit her people are rolling back the German horde
aided no doubt by such strategists as General Winter and Gen
eral Louise. Why call her off, although admittedly w and the
British are in serious trouble in the far east? She can do more
good by marrying the Germans on her own front than by divid-
ing her efforts. Perhaps she IAN keep Hitler s cohorts from max
ing an allout drive to the east through Turkey. another pincers
movement that might, at this stage, be a serious threat to the
Allies.
Davies, S early as 1887, gave reports of the might of thu
Russian military machine. He attended the trials of Russian
leaders who were held traitor and he had knowledge of the Eq-
uidaton of hundreds of officials in the Russian army and govern
ment While, at the time, it appeared a brutal and senseless
political Vaccination, it must be admitted now that most of
those S O executed, if alive today, would have been the leaders
of a fifth column in Russia. Ambassador Davies expressed such
an opinion at that time. And it is a known fact that the fifth
has been less active and successful there than in anv
other nation of the world.
For these reasons W believe Mr.. Davies statements should
be regarded seriously. No matter how hard pressed We are in
the Philippines or at Singapore, we can now only gain a mo-
nentary diversion if Russia attacks Japan. True, it would be
welcome. but it would only weaken a successful attack against
he Axis in Russia. That might have dire consequences. 1t all (
serves to demonstrate what we have learned in the past few !
weeks. that this is truly a world war, far more Sc than that of a
IS years ago. We must now reform our conceptions of strateev
a worldwide basis. :

NOT A PROPAGANDA MINISTER

1t will be well for Americans to understand that the newly
appointed censor in the United States is not a minister o
propaganda. No news stories will emanate from his office
There is no parallel, for example, between his duties and those
of the notorious Herr Goebbels of Germany, the worlds most
prolific manufacture of lies.
Byron Price, an experienced news executive, has been given
the job in Washington to determine what news shall be released.
His standard for judgment. S given earlier by President Roose-
welt, is, first, to make certain that no news is released that gives
aid or comfort to the enemy. Although no better man could be
chosen. his job is going to be a difficult one.
Newspapers and radio, generally, n already cooperating in
a sort of volunteer censorship" There is hardly a publication.
daily or weekly in the United States, that has not passed up
what would ordina nly be red hot news stories, in the interests
of national defense and national security. 1t will be we'll for,
readers to understand this, to know why some news is not being
printed. 1t is not because of lack of enterprise or KNOWLEDGE bv
the newspapers. Back of this. of course, is the fact that there
are real teeth in the censorship. But, by and large, there will
be few transgressors, largely because of the cooperative stand
taken by the press and broadcasters.

TAKING THE LONG VIEW

A quotation in a Christmas greeting from a friend, it seem;
to us, presents in succinct language the feeling most of us have
about the present war. IF we do not have this view. it is one
we must take, for it ably expresses our goal in the conflict. II
is the long view we must all have. 1t was written by Douglas
Miller in a recent issue of the Atlantic monthly. He said:
The long story of humanitys rise toward a tolerable
and free existence for the average man will not come to an
end because of the insane decisions of a single individual
or the wounded inferiority completes of a single people
-. This is merely an incident in history. Iii is not the end
of Christian civilization. or of human decency, or of free
DOM"
That is the historical viewpoint. AT the same time, it points
to the present effort each of US must make in what may be a
long and bitter struggle. But, it is not the end.

This Hardyesque quality seems to

There are, of course, in the area
tenant farming families who drift
from place to place. taking up what
ever acreage is offered. And some
of the prize farms and estates
around Cedar Point and Solomons
Island have changed hands often in
recent years. Some have been
bought by affluent persons who live
at a distance and use them as sum-
mer residences.

PEARSON, Md. Jan. 28.-To this
fertile region of st. Marys County.
some 80 years ago, came one John
QWrk. just over from England. He
.had settled in Philadelphia, but he
wanted a farm. and this level land
so close to Cedar Point on the
Chesapeake Bay, appealed to him
He bought a substantial acreage.
When he went beck to Philadelphia
he told his friend, Dean H. Dawson
what he had done, and Mr.. Dawson,
also a Britisher, decided he would
like a farm in that peninsula, and
purchased one adjoining Mr.. Quirks
It turned out to be ideal land. II
would grow almost anything. And
creeks and inlets of the bay flowed
through over bottoms, thick with
oysters, crabs and fish.
Mr.. Quirk's son Ben succeeded
to the farm in time and then Ben's
son, George R. Quirk. Mr.. Dawson
meanwhile, had acquired fully TOO
acres. The seven Dawson children
were born there. Four OF them are
living. One Of the daughters
Martha, married George Quirk, and
they kept the farm, the third gen.
GRAFTON. Another daughter, Mary
married E. T. Jarboe and they took
the ancestral home on the other
farm after the Dawson acres hao
been split among the children.
Eviction Threatened.
Today, Mr.. and Mrs. Jarboe and
Mr.. and Mrs. Quirk ere threatened
with eviction from their land be-
cause the Navy is planning to take
perhaps 5000 acres in the Cedar
Point area as a testing ground for
seaplanes, torpedoes and guns. An
estimated $50 families will be driven
out If. the program goes through.
Already Government officials have
started appraising and taking op-
tions on the land.
Many of the other families face
hardships, but the Quirks and the
Jarboes probably have been on the
land longer than most of them. In
this connection, it may be recalled
that st. Marys County contains
some of the oldest estates. homes
and farms in historic Maryland,
though many of them lie outside the
region which the Navy wants.
Formal protests have been made
to Gov. O'Conor by the st. Marys
legislative delegation and to Fed
eral officials by groups Of farmers.
The latest word from the Governor
is that the Navy Department has
indicated very definitely its de-
cision to use the area.
The farmers point Of view thus
was summed up by Mr.. Jarboe:
IF we thought this measure was
necessary to help win the war. we
wouldn't raise q hand against 1t
We're as patriotic down here as any
other citizens. But we feel that the
project planned by the Navy prob
ably would not even be finished be-
fore the war was over. 1t involves
an immense amount of work
breaking up LneSe 1dILIlS, tcdI Ale
down houses, building cement run
ways.
Land which we feel is much more
suitable and more easily adapted to
the proposed proving ground has
been offered the Government at
Point Lookout, Drum Point and
Piney Point, and it seems to us that
this could be cleared and used more
quickly. Then, too, most of the
owners OF that land made no objec-
ton, because it's not good for farm
ing, most Of It,"
Superlative Land.
It should be remembered. Mr.
Jarboe added, that probably the best
