RESIGN POSITIONS

other members of the Board In
fact, it appeared for a time that
about half of the directors would
resign.
The Board was and has been
100 percent behind Harry" J. p.
Sidle, president of the Fair Board,
declared Wednesday. "He has made
a wonderful secretary for us. He
has done a lot of work and every
thing is right up to the minute"
Concerning the future of the
Fair, Mr.. Sidle added, Differences
are all ironed out now. Everything
is lovely and we are ready to 60 a
head with the 1945 fair as soon as
we complete the reorganization.
Letter Started Differences
The whole thing started over a
letter received by Mr.. Taylor a.
bout two weeks ago from John M.
Hodson, state director of agricul-
ture.
In the letter, Mr.. Hodson ac-
cused Mr.. Taylor of letting the
Fair run down financially and de-
clared that all other departments
except racing were being neglect
ed. The letter concluded with a
threat to withhold money from the
state to the local Fair unless a
change of policy was forthcoming
Immediately upon receipt of the
letter, Mr.. Taylor called a meet
ing of the Board, which was the
one held in the County Agents Of
flee May 30, attended by Mr.
Sandles. 1t was hot" meeting, as
one member of the Board de
scribed il, with considerable feel
ing between the Board and the
State representatives.
TYP of Examples Cited
One of the examples" cited by
Director HodSon in his letter to
demonstrate" how other depart
ments have been Sacrificed" to the
speed program was the hoTticultur-
al department. In this department,
Mr.. Hodson said, there were more
than 1900 entries in 1885, com
pared with only 85 last year
While this is true, the unfairnesG
of the statement is shown by the
fact that, in 1895, both j. B. Keck-
ley of Leesburg township, and
Perry Spain, of Allen township,
were heavy exhibitors. In the past,
MIR. Keckley has had as many as
500 horticulture exhibits and Mr..
Spain, as many as 400. Since 1885
Mr.. Keckley has died and Mr.
Spain has quit exhibiting largely
because Of his health.
Another thing that has hit the
hortieAltare exhibits, and all 9TH
er departments as well, has been
the war. Farmers and housewives
alike have been too busy and too
short of help to prepare many eX-
hibits for Fairs. Wartime restric-
tions on transportation have been
another detrimental factor.
Figures Mis-Interpreted
Concerning the finances of the
Fair, Director Hodson again quot
ed figures TO prove his contention,
rather than tell the truth of the
situation. Mr.. HodSon attempted to
prove that, despite the depression,
the Fair was in a healthy condi-

West to help meet war needs, Is at
Geneva, 40 miles from Salt Lake City.
1t cost 5000 900 900 and was built by the
Columbia Steel Co., Western subsidi-
ary OF United States Steel, for the De-
tense Plant Corp, Government
agency. These two plants have a COM
blned capacity OF 100000 tons of ingot
steel. They have more than doubled
the capacity of the West for steel pro-
duction. But already the signs are up
that the Eastern steel companies are
planning either to buy these plants and
operate them, or, if it suits their plans
better, shut them down. Already the
Geneva plant is closed down.
Henry Kaiser, in order to retain the
Fontana steel plant, must be able to
finance 1t and acquire it, He has ideas
about shifting from steel plates for
ships, ETC., to steel for light railroad
equipment and for prefabricated houses.
This problem of financing California
industries in the reconversion to peace
time needs is another to which Gov
Warren and his aides are giving more
and more attention. AS matter of fact,
there is talk in some quarters of a
State RFC. Californias finances are
in good shape, and the States resources
are of tremendous value But if any
such Little RFC" is to be set up the
constitution and laws of the State which
prohibit the lending of State funds to
private industry will have to be amended.
One reason the West is anxious to
build up a strong steel industry is that
it pays for steel S6 or more ton above
the Eastern prices. This section has
plenty of limestone, coal, iron ore and
the cheapest scrap in the country. If
they can manufacture steel in the West
at considerably lower prices than now
paid, Western business leaders see
great opportunity for the manufacture
of many consumers goods as well as
for heavier industry. They have in
mind the trade opportunities, too, which
they figure will lie across the Pacific
Ocean, once the war is ended, particu-
larly with China and with Russia
A difficulty that the West faces is
that it has not only to hold on to these
big wartime industrial plants, but it
must find new lines of products for
them to manufacture-to develop a
whole new program.

There have been some unpublicized
incidents in England which have shown
him how section of the British public
feels about what many still describe as
the sacrifice of Poland"
On February %. 1914. the British
Prime Minister made public announce
ment indorsing Russia's stand on the
Curzon Line question.
The next day the general heading
British Bomber Command stationed in
Scotland called up the commander Of a
similar Polish organization, informing
him that he and his staff wanted to
visit the Polish officer. This was not
unusual since these men had fought
side by side since 1910 and were on
friendly terms. The Poles were sur
prised, however, when all the British
officers appeared in their formal uni
forms with their medals and decora-
tions.
The British entered the Polish officers
mess tremendously and their COM
mander formally expressed their deep
sorrow at the speech of the Prime Min
lister. Similar incidents occurred in 9TH
er sections of England, and while they
were not publicized in the press, they
were brought to Mr.. Churchills atten-
ton. Mr.. Churchill decided to take no
disciplinary action against the officers
despite their criticism of their own
Prime Minister. The matter was dis
cussed by the British cabinet and all
agreed that the men in uniform had
right to their own personal convictions.
~
Soldiers In all theaters of operations
mingle with each other and talk mat
ters over more frankly than diplomats
and politicians. The British Army has
had the Poles on it's side in the most
critical days of the London blitz, the
Rommel blitz in North Africa, and later
in France and in Germany, while in
Italy the Polish divisions have fought
valiantly at Monte Casino and Bologne.
A Polish armored division is now on its
way to the Indian Ocean, where it will
be used against the japanese in Malaga
and at Singapore.
Immediate recognition of the new
Warsaw government is opposed by men
of the Polish armed forces Quick ac-
tion by Great Britain might affect many
of the votes of the British soldiers in
the field and at home Mr.. Churchill
is said to feel that he should straddle
the issue for the next few weeks in order
not to lose votes for his party's candi-
dates

Simon Lake

When Simon Lake is referred to
as 1.-The father of the modern sub
marine" the claim in his behalf
almost invariably is challenged by
persons insisting that the honor
should go to John P. Holland, who
built undersea craft as early as
1875. The two men admittedly were
rivals, and Hollands work was
recognized by the Government of
the United States long before his
junior competitor enjoyed any sue
cess worth mentioning. But it does
not follow that Mr.. Lake was a
failure. On the contrary, he saw
many of his ideas adopted and car
ried into effect during the First
World War. The yard at Bridge
port which bore his name was a busy
place from 1915 onward.
Mr.. Lake himself, however, never
was particularly concerned in the
submarine as a device primarily
military in character. The notion
which furnished the driving power
for his experiments was that a
vessel might be constructed to travel
over the bottom of the ocean. His
premier boats were equipped with
wheels. Subsequent models had
doors and windows, so that their
navigators might get out or, any
way, reach out to pick up scattered
treasure. Just about a decade ago
Mr.. Lake was engaged in an attempt
to salvage gold lost in the British
frigate Hussar in New York Harbor
In 1880. Another of his schemes
contemplated retrieving the wealth

Alley Menace Indicted

To the Editor Of The Star:
The public spirited letter of j. X. on
Three Ordinances Wanted" printed in
The Star on June %, is to be COM
mended.
1t prompts me to ask: Have you ever
gone out of your back door and walked
up any of the many alleys of our fair
city on one of these nice warm days?
If so, you must have seen for yourself
an abominable, shameful, disgraceful
menace to the public health
Scores of our alleys are filed with
waste matter, refuse, garbage cans of
all types and sizes by the hundreds,
mostly uncovered, cooking in the sun for
hours, sometimes days, and breeding rats
Children and, their pet, animals, to be
safe from the traffic in front streets,
are allowed to play near these accumu-
lations of filth. Dogs and cats paw over
the mess, scattering it for swarms of
flies to gather over.
So, would like to amend J. KS letter.
A fourth ordinance is needed to provide
for cleaning up our alleys. L. W.K

Retreat Beneath the Sod

A story in The Star a few days
ago reported that the American
Military Governor in Bavaria had
ordered the sixteen bronze caskets,
containing the remains Of the mar
tyrs" of Hitler's abortive putsch in
1928, removed from their Munich
shrine and placed in graveyard.
A good thing to do. OF all the
Nazi memorials, none was more
cheaply pretentious, more symbolic
of the strutting arrogance of the
thugs who controlled Germany, than
this shrine. There were two temples,
of Grecian architecture, facing each
other across a broad Munich avenue.
Inside them, on pedestals, were
placed the massive bronze caskets of
the victims of the putsch, their
names in raised letters over the
word "Here"-unspoken answer as
the roll was called on appropriate
occasions when the Nazis staged
their gaudy military ceremonials at
the shrineS.
Who were the heroes? One of
them was Hitler, and at the first
volley from the police, on the 1928
march from the beer hall, he was
holding so tightly to his marching
companion, Scheubner Richter, who
was mortally wounded, that he
sprained his arm when Scheubner
fell. Scheubner, at least, occupies
one of the caskets. Another hero
was Goering, wounded in the thigh
during the march, now an i'm
prisoned war criminal awaiting trial.
Another was the JeW-baiter,
Streicher, now war criminal. But
of the sixteen heroes in the caskets,
only one of them was marching in
the front rank The rest were just
following along, and when the police
fired, and the front rank ducked,
they were the ones who got killed.
Sixteen nobodies, a locksmith,
halter, waiter, a servant, some
clerks. Like SO many other Germans
who later were to follow Hitler, they
were the ones who took the rap.
But they were rather lucky at that.
All these years since 1928 they have
been resting in peace In their osten-

Vicious Suggestions
By Maj. George Fieldins Eliot

The student of war sometimes be-
comes SO immersed in strategic con-
ceptions and tactical details, in the
technique OF weapons and the art of
high command, that he tends to forget
the human foundation on which all
this must rest. Without men who are
willing to fight, to adventure their lives
for cause, to die for that cause if
need be, to face the perils, the hard
ships, the deprivations and the suffer-
ing of war, no wars could ever be
fought.
Men will fight instinctively to pro-
tect that which is dear to them; they
scarcely need to be urged by anything
more than the ancient law of self
preservation, once it is plain to them
that danger is at hand. 1t Is not so
easy to get them to anticipate the
coming of danger, to perceive it while
measures to prepare against it.
In quite different category of human
behavior is the war of aggression. To
persuade man that he and his pos
sessions may be in danger of attack,
and that in consequence he must pay
more taxes or send his son to serve
year in the Army, is one thing; to
persuade him that his future, his pur-
suit of happiness, lies in attacking his
neighbors. in going to war to conquer
and loot continent, requires. special
sort of perverted mentality if the per-
suasion is to be successful. It requires
return to the fringes of savagery, to
the moral standards of the Middle Ages.
It negates the teachings of religion, the
wider social horizons of this age, the
gains of 500 years in appreciation Of
human rights and the rule Of law in
the settlement of human differences.
* II X
It is in permitting themselves to be
SO persuaded, that the real crime. the
real responsibility Of the German and
Japanese peoples for the most terrible
disaster of history is to be found. The
leaders of the German people achieved
their ends by the reiteration of lies, by
a perversion of the educational process
and by shutting off the inflow of fact
from the rest of the world; but the
German people were receptive material
for these efforts, they turned readily
enough to the suggestion that they were
the Herrenvolk and that the rest Of
mankind were properly their slaves.
Therein lies their sin.
The Japanese people were perhaps
less consciously vicious, because they
have not, as the Germans, had the
Evening star., 1945-06-28

benefits of centuries of civilized think
ing; they have but recently emerged
from the shadows of clustered bar
barism and they still think and act
and believe as barbarians But they
have demonstrated that they are not
yet fit for the confidence of that ma
jority of their fellow-humans which is
now determined that the world shall
be ruled by law and not by the ire
sponsible use of force in the hands of
criminals, however great.
We shall never find a lasting solution
OF our problems or make secure peace
for our children to inherit unless we
understand that such a peace must rest
on the doctrine of responsibility: Re-
sponsibility of all law-abiding citizens of
the world community for the keeping
OF the peace and the upholding Of its
fundamental law, responsibility also for
those who break the peace to bear the
consequences of their evil doing.
Unless it is made clear to all that
crime does not pay, there will be emula-
ton by the selfish of another generation
of the attempts which in this generation
have been thwarted at such cost.
This can be done in part by adequate
preventive measures; in part 1t requires
demonstration. The sight of rapidly
recovering Germany and Japan would
be poor demonstration for those who
might In the future entertain hopes of
succeeding where Hitler and TOTO have
failed. The sight Of German and Japa-
nese people regaining their old stand
ards Of living at the expense Of law
abiding neighbors and beginning again
that economic domination of Europe
and Of East Asia, respectively, which
once were theirs would be poor encour-
agement for those upon whom we must
depend to participate in the mainte-
nance Of rule of law
In this connection, nothing could be
more inherently vicious than the sug-
gestions which one hears whispered
every now and then in respectable"
and conservative gatherings that
American interests will best be served
by keeping "a strong Germany to hold
Russia in check in Europe" and "a
strong Japan to counteract Russian in
fluence in ASIA" or even "to prevent
China from getting too strong"
This Is the road to hell. This Is the
one sure way to war which would
indeed see the collapse of all civiliza-
ton, all law, all moral values.
