Against this background let US
consider the lesser prophets OF the
Old Testament as serious reading for
today. In general they follow one
pattern. Once in a while they begin
by denouncing the sins of their ma
tons enemies and prophesy ter
rible things to follow from their
sins against Jehovah and His
people, But always the prophet de-
Scends with wrath upon his own
kindred contemporaries and in vivid
speech forecasts the penalties which
their sins have brought upon their
land. There is no effort on the part
OF the prophets to minimize the
consequences of their individual and
social misdoings. They paint their
pictures of reproach with startling
colorS. In the drought the devasta-
tion Of the fields by devouring locusts,
the incurSion of their enemies. they
find the hand of God visiting punish
ment upon the people for their greed,

A recent publication prints the reso-
lutions adopted by the greater re-
liglous bodies regarding their atti-
tudes toward the prevailing war.
Apparently, most denominations
have been embarrassed bv the wide
difference between the teachings OF
Jesus and the horrors of a modern
battlefield. 1t was noteworthy that
only one statement reflected the
Interpretation of the prophets that

flicting interests collided on the Asiatic
mainland in the 10Th century, was still
undecided. And it has not yet been
decided
From the Russian viewpoint there can
be no decision, and no real security in
Siberia, until Japan has been destroyed
as a major power. Whether Moscow
will be satisfied to leave that task to
the United States and Britain, or
whether the weight of the Red Army
will be thrown into the scales on our
side before many months have passed,
is question that cannot be answered
now. The answer depends upon what
Stain wants. Should there ever seem
to be doubt that japanese militarism
will be crushed, or if Moscow aspires
to regain its outlet to warm water at
Port Arthur, the chances are that Russia
will join the battle in the East. On the
other hand, If Stain can attain his
Asiatic objectives, whatever they may
be, without going to war against Japan,
we can expect to finish the Pacific war
without direct Soviet aid. In other
words, the final de(tSpn in Moscow will
be . practical and not continental
one.

Kerosene Lanterns

The humble kerosene lantern has
played a great role in the drama of
our Nations development. No one
knows when man first learned that
a wick could be placed in oil and,
due to the magic of some obfuscated
law of physics, produce a light at
the other end. In days of yester-
year the lanterns hung under lum-
berlng ConestogaS as fasteners
pushed over the toll pixies toward
the stone free, rich, black soil of the
Middle West. They blazed pin
pricks of light in the dark as the
iron rails were stretched toward the
Pacific. They served in the stove
heated, wooden railway coaches.
For long years in country areas
they swung beneath farm wagons at
night, and on Saturday evenings,
when the family went to town for
its weekly shopping. tht kerosene
lantern with its polished reflector
was fastened to the dashboard of
the two-seated democrat. Only a
generation ago a gleam of yellow
light far down a prairie road was
the welcome sign that the doctor
was on his way in the familiar top
buggy.
On tens of thousands of farms
today the lanterns still hang from
spike in beam behind the tie-up
while a farmer and his boys milk
the string of cows. AS the hay is
pitched down from the NOW the
lantern hangs from a peg at a safe
distance, and the calves, restless for
their supper of foamy skim milk,
blink their wide, gentle eyes in the
soft light.
When the farmer has finished his
chores, he stands for a minute and
lets the lantern light shine on the
sleek COWS and plump horses. Cross
ing the yard to the house with milk
pals on his arms, the fame throws
yellow beams into the evening dark
ness. And when he reaches the cozy,
warm farm kitchen, and the lantern
has done its duty for the day, he
blows it out and sets it on the shelf
above the sink. Tomorrow his wife
will wash and polish the glass CHM
ney, for the kerosene lantern is still
an essential light-giver to millions
of Americans.

MYTH in the Mukino

The past political campaign con-
.tributed several statements which
will have the effect, as time goes on,
of establishing more firmly the
myth of how the soldiers Slaugh-
tered the bonus marchers in chasing
them out Of Washington. BY the
next campaign. this slaughter prob
ably will become a massacre.
1t is therefore interesting to recall
some of the facts in connection with
that dramatic incident. Many of
the bonus marchers took over build
ings. then in process of demolition,
which stood at Pennsylvania avenue
and Third street. Their continued
presence there constituted, with
other things, health problem.
Treasury agents (the Treasury De-
partment was razing the buildings),
with police guard, ordered the
men to leave the premises, which
they did, for the most part peaceably.
But word of their eviction spread to
Anacostia fats, where the majority
of the bonus marchers were congre-
gated. Some of them took it into
their heads to recapture the Penn
sylvania avenue buildings.
Here fight began, first with
bricks, then with firearms, between
the police and the reinforcements
from Anacostia Two bonus march,
ers were shot, one of them dying
Immediately and the other later on.
And here practically all the casual
ties, involving some thirty five bonus
marchers and sixteen policemen,
were suffered. A riot seemed to be
in the making and the troops were
called out AS far as the soldiers
were concerned, theirs was on the
whole a bloodless victory. Tear
gas was used at Third and Pennsyl-
vania avenue and, later on, at Ana
costa. A staR reporter wrote that
most Of the aacostia huts were
burned by the l1idfchers, the soldiers

A Greet Narrative

Somebody in the Navy Department
perhaps more than one-deserves
special commendation for the
excellence of the communique just
issued on the Second Battle of the
Philippine Sea. Admiral NimitzS
earlier account was beautifully done,
but this is done even better. Usually
such reports are so militarily Stylized
that they give only the bare bones
of a story, but here we have the
flesh and spirit as well-a superb
account with not dry or dull word
in 1t, and with every essential detail
set forth and correlated with
admirable clarity.
Though largely a recapitulation
OF facts already revealed-Such as
that some sixty Japanese warships
were either sunk or seriously dam
aged-the new cOmmunique Signif-
cantly throws additional light on
certain phases of the great battle
and on the meaningfulness of the
outcome. Thus. despite reports that
the central prong of the three
pronged move against Leyte Gulf
Cthe prong that passed through San
BernardinO Strait came close to
inf1ictng a disaster upon US, the
Navy makes clear that our Seventh
Fleet had battleship and cruiser
force ready to protect General Mac
Arthur'S transports and landing
craft in case the enemy had not
suddenly turned back to flee north
ward from the area
Moreover, the new communique
re-eValuateS the results achieved.
Previous official accounts have de-
scrlbed the massive engagement
merely as "one of the major battles
OF World War II in the Pacific" but
this goes much further, strongly
suggesting that our American vic
tory may be regarded in history as
one OF the decisive ones of modern
times. In any case, says the Navy,

be said to have greatly reduced
future casualties in both men and
water borne equipments state
ment which may we'll imply that
additional amphibious operations
are in the making against other
positions still held by Japan, either
in the Philippines or elsewhere.
To comment at length upon this
outstanding communique, however,
is to spoil it with surplusage, like
putting gilt on the lily 1t stands
by itself as a great narrative, and
its objectivty is not in the least
impaired by the fact that it reflects
a mood Of justitiable cockiness in
our Navy. From the standpoint of
Americans a story more satisfying
or inspiring would be hard to find,
and no one should fail to read it.

Studiu

The campaign for stadium in
Washington inevitably prompts curl
oSlty as to the exact meaning of the
word and the history of the idea it
connotes. One glance at the Century
Dictionary Suffices to show that the
term itself is older than the use to
which it now commonly is put. A
stadium originally was a station
along a road. literally that which
stands fast or is immovable. In the
linear system of the ancient Greeks
the distance from one such point
to another was about six hundred
feet, roughly a furlong. Races, it
seems, were run between the sta
tlons not merely for practical COM
munication purposes, but also speci-
tlcally for the training of the athletes
participating in the contests. The
celebrated course" or track" at
Olympia was exactly a stadium in
length, the equivalent of six hun
dreo six feet and nine inches in
English custom.
Just how the first stadium in the
modern sense came to be built prob
ably never can be known. Perhaps
it simply developed from the natural
circumstance of people gathering on
neighboring hillsides to watch a
running competition. Sooner or
later, fixed seating arrangements
would be provided to accommodate
the spectators attending games held
at regular calendar intervals. A
pattern already was available in out
door theaters like those at Athens
and Syracuse. The essential archi-
tectural difference lies in the fact
that stadium provides for the in
tended action to be offered in the
center, while in theater it is pre-
sented only on one single side A
Greek hippodromus, like that at
Olympia, and Roman circus, like
the Maximus, were intended for
equestrian performances similar to
those of latter-day Texas or Wyo-
ming rodeo.
1t was upon the ruins of the classic
Athenian stadium that the beautiful
background for the revival of the
Olympic meet was presented in 1896.
A wealthy Alexandrian merchant
S1lnnlied tho funds for tho rac+oro
tion in white marble. The broader
London stadium of 1908, however,
has been the standard model for all
subsequent construction projects of
the same sort. For the fifth Olym-
piad in 1912 the Swedish nation
built 2ne stadium at Stockholm.

Argentine Problem

Inc chronic problem of Argen-
tina has become still more thorny
with two simultaneous develop
mentS. The first of these, in i'm
mediate Importance, is the rejection
OF Argentlna'S proposal for a pan
American meeting of foreign min
listers to consider the nature and
implications of Argentine foreign
policy. The second development, of
more long-range significance. is a
new organic law of the army" in
ltlatlng a universal system of ma
tlonal service embracing both sexes
and extending from the ages of
twelve to fifty years
Argentina proposal last month
Tor a consultative meeting of for
elgn ministers in accordance with
established pan-American proce-
dure was recognized from the first as
a shreWd diplomatic move. It's ef-
fectlveneSs was demonstrated by the
favorable reception accorded by
several republics which had not
recognized the Farrell regime. to-
gether with Chile. Bolivia and Para
quay, which had extended recog-
nition Despite this partial trend,
the Argentine move has been coun-
tered by what appears to be con-
certed action by Mexico and the
United States, advising against the
proposed meeting. However. the
Farrell regime can point to divided
CounSelS in panAmerican diplo-
macy and thus plume itself with it's
own people as standing for cher
iShed principles of national dignity
and sovereignty in face of foreign
pressure. The net result can hardly
be other than a sharpening Of the
tension between Washington and
Buenos Aires, with consequences at
present unpredictable
That the Farrell regime is en-
barked on a thoroughgoing plan for
mobniZing the nations human and
material resources on a permanent
basis has been disclosed by the new
law. which, if carried out. will mill
tarlzc Argentina on the totalitarian
pattern only too familiar in the
AXIS lands. By this sweeping de-
cree. all Argentine citizens. regard
less of sex, are bound to prepare
themselves for national defense
from adolescence to middle age
National service for males begins
with what is called preconScrip-
ton training from twelve to twenty,
when two years must be served with
the cOlorS. Thereafter, "poStcon-
scription" duties are called for until
age fifty. Females are also subject
to national service. Girls of twelve
begin their preliminary preparation
for Women's auxiliary services, their
obligations likewise extending to
fifty years.
With vigorous population ex-
ceeding 100000, inhabiting an
area of more than 100000 square
miles endowed with abundant nat
ural resources, a militarized Argen-
tina will present a War-potential
unique in the Western Hemisphere.
This SOLDERING prospect reveals the
larger aspects of a problem which
will tax the craftsmanship not
merely of Washington, but of all
pan-America.
