DISDAINED GEOGRAPHY
Santa Monica Outlook

(Santa Monica outlook
Sometimes a small incident, without
enough apparent interest to be reported
by most newspapers, throws more light
on national condition and habit of mind
than volumes pretending to deal with
that condition. Such an incident occur
red recently when it was revealed that
the Army Air Force had put a serious
strain on the colleges of the country by
insisting on the thorough instruction of
air force cadets in geography.
1t seems there are now 10000 of these
cadets undergoing pre-flight training in
81 colleges. Their curriculum calls for
no less than 60 hours devoted to the study
Of geography. According to News-Weak:
Last week this matter-of-fact require
ment not only created battling teacher
textbook botteneck; it disclosed that
American collegiate education in its study
of the strategy Of men, space and re-
sources, had become sort of Tobacco
Road"
Textbook publishers found themselves
far short of the necessary number of
biographies. This could be remedied by
running the printing presses overtime,
but qualified geography professors can
not be quickly found. In the whole coun-
try there are only few hundred, and
most Of these are now working as special
lists in Washington.
Back of this condition lies long period
during which our educators neglected the
study of geography. 1t was the period
of rampant American isolationism and
few persons in this country had much
interest in "the strategy of men, space or
resources" still less in any systematic
study of the far corners Of the earth.
To quote News-Week: "To the Axis
nations, geography became highly de-
veloped political, economic, and social
science; to America it was kid stuff for
grammar schools"

The way you apply your perfume
is every bit as important as know
ing the right scent for every oc-
casion.
A careless dab on either lapel of
your suit is never as effective as a
subtle spraying of the hem of your
skirt, insists designer Lilly Dache.
Perfume" the attractive French
milliner points out, should be ap-
phed where the air can watt it
around. Then, and then alone, does
il do its lovely work to the full"
She prefers, for instance, to spray
it on her veil or into her hair. This,
she says, allows the maximum cir
,ulation of scent for the minimum
amount of perfume used.
II you favor toilet water for day
time, and apply perfume only for
after-fiVe occasions, don't mix your
Scents-match them. You'll find,
Nine. Dache points out, that Just a
drop or two of perfume will inten-
Sify the fragrance Of the toilet
water you used earlier, and make
both last much. longer.

FIR HAS SOMETHING TO
HIDE AT CONFERENCE
(Oroville Mercury

(OrOVllle Mercury
1t is being told about Washington that
the reason The President has clamped
down a lid of secrecy ON the international
food conference, to be held in Hot
Springs, Va. in May. IS that he knows
it will be lick ckand-a-promise affair. No
adequate preparations have been made
for it. 1t has no proper agenda. Trained
men have not been consulted. Experts
of the Department of Agriculture have
not been called in.
Critical news men would show all this
up quickly, and it would react against
the executive who called the conference
President Roosevelt. SO he bars them.
The United States News says that the
idea of the food conference was sold to
Mrs Roosevelt by visiting Scotsman.
She sold her husband on the idea, and
he called it without due consideration.
Now he's supposed to be in a box and
doesn't want to get caught in it.
That may be the answer to the secrecy
or it may be something else. AT any
rate, it doesn't come we'll from the head
of the foremost democracy, who has said
so many fine things about public enlight-
eminent 1t sounds more like Argentina,
where the newspapers aren't allowed to
carry the speeches of critics of the ad-
minstration or tell what's going on in

I'M 4 JAPANESE
CONCENTRATION CAMP

The people of the Rocky Mountain
western states are indebted to the Denver
Post for what its stellar reporter, Jack
Carberry, found in a japanese cOncentra-
tion camp near Cody, Wvo.
Following up the statements of for
mer employe at the camp, the Denver
newspaper sent Carberry to investigate
And investigate he did for many days and
reported his findings as follows:
The authorities at the camp somehow
knew he was coming and gave orders
that the shopping reporter must find
nothing amiSs Despite the preparations,
ne found within the bounds of this camp
housing some 10000 japanese residents,
mountains of food; canned goods that
money nor stamps can buy.
He discovered canned vegetables and
fruits with total point value Of 20,017.-
222, enough to supply the Jap popula-
ton for three years, seven months and
fourteen days! These items included
canned tomatoes, beetS, beans, peas, SPIN
ach, pumpkin, pears, peaches and black
berries.
He learned that Just before his arrival
FIVE FULL CARLOADS had been ship
ped out He watched while 0,000 pounds
Of pork loins, little pig sausages and beef
quarters were unloaded from trucks.
By courageous insistence, he searched
attics and garrets and found countless
small cans of foods hidden away outside
of the bullying warehouses. He found
cans of the finest salmon. $500 gallons
of mayonnaise, but so much for the
food.
He also found twenty new tractors,
just arrived for use in cultivating 1900
acres of land. The Japs were using them
to run races, He found 120 sets of mule
harness, but no mules, and 100 tobacco
carts but nothing to pull them.
Excuse for so much food was that the
camp was a trans-shipment point. Be
that as it may, the reading public can
draw its own conclusions as to the eff
cheney of handling the Jap problem or
the fairness or over-indulgence indicated
by the findings.

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Many young married couples,
separated by the war, are finding
that the best way to lick the in
security OF the present is to build
now toward the security of the
future.
The wives are getting jobs, the
husbands are saving as much Of
their army pay as they can manage
and the money is being invested in
| War Bonds and their own future
together.
Right now they have almost
none of the things they need to be
happy. But they mean to have
those things in the future.
If the husband wants some kind
Of a specialized training after he
comes out of service, the money is
being saved for that.
II the couple have decided that
they are young enough to wait until
the war is over to start a family,
then they are saving toward that.
TOMORROW WILL COME
If it is furniture and a home
they think they need first. their
War Bonds are being bought with
those in mind.
But the money they are putting
away each month has a greater
value than anything it will ever
buy for them. 1t is important to
their marriages, for it means that
they haven't fallen for the there
may not be any tomorrow" philo-
sophy that tricks so many young
people in war time into careless,
thoughtless living.
The young couples who are saw
ing for the future believe in the
tuture together. And that is the
best attitude they could have.
Life isn't offering them much to-
day in the way of happiness or
security. But that isn't important.
Not if they are working and saving
and planning for happy, secure
life when the war is over.

now but a bitter memory" He
went on to point out, truly, that
all free institutions are endangered
by any encroachment on liberty Of
speech or of the press.
This" he said, should emphasize
anew to all of US the necessity for
constant vigilance which now, as
always, is the price of liberty and
particularly liberty of the press
simultaneously, the President was
sitting tight on his dictum that
the United Nations press shall be
barred from even setting its i'm
piouS foot on the sacred soil of the
Hot Springs, Va, hotel where allied
conferees are to discuss interna-
tional food problems.
There will be innocuous opening

porters will be permitted. For the

Repression feeds upon repreS-
sion. If the press can be barred
from a foods conference. it can be
BARRED from any conference. It
can be kept out of every public

Having imposed such terms in the
battle area, where they obviously
we're justified, he now seeks to i'm
pose them on the home front,
where no question of presidential
security is involved, where no
military secrets are to be pro-
tected.
The unreasonablencss of his at
titude is recognized By almost
every other official involved in the
conference preparations. If the
Presidents own publicity sense has
so atrophied that he needs evidence,
II is to be hoped that he has read
and reread the protest of one of his
most faithful admirers and de-
Tenders Raymond Clapper, who on
this subject writes with a bitter
ness entirely alient to his usual
equable temper:
1--WE newspaper workers
may not have the social graces that
Groton and Harvard could have
given us. We are hired to try
as best we can to keep the Ameri-
can people informed abou their

In their anxiety to help win this
war, the newspapers have leaned
over backward to censor them
selves. With only occasional, usual
ly unintentional lapses, they have
religiously needed the requests of
MI Roosevelt's censorship agencies,
though they were under no legal
compulSion to do SO.
When the President made his
famous secret tour of the nation
the newspapers co-Operated, against
their better judgment, to the point
of absurdity. For better reasons
they observed the same silence when
Mr.. Roosevelt went to Casablanca.
This was not done without
anxiety Nobody knows better than
working newspapermen how the
demands Of public officials grow,
orce any slightest concession has
been made in the Withholding of
news.
1t has been supposed that Mr.
Roosevelt delighted in the give-and-
take Of press conferences. the bat
tie of wits between skilled cross
examiners and reluctant witness
With his power to turn caustic at
Will-withOut comeback from inter-
viewers who, as man to man, could
pir his ears back-and to termi-
nate the conferences if the pres
sure became too great, the Presi-
dent never has appeared to need
armed guards to preserve his
secrets.
But it seems that he must have
enjoyed the easier pickinqs at

respondents could not do any fer
reting and had to accept canned
