Mercy Is Handcuffed

The brutalities of German occupation and OPP
preston are not wholly expressed in things done
by the Nazis and their puppet officialdom. The
things they forbid others to do in relief equally
brutal in their effects.
Recently Swedish Red Cross offered TO receive
into Sweden from $4,000 to 10000 Norwegian
children whose parents unable to give them
more than the scantiest food and whose homes
have been stripped of even the most necessary of
human comforts.
The humanitarian plan fell through because of
opposition by the Quisling government. Swedish
authorities also offered to evacuate to Sweden 20
600 families made homeless by wanton Nazi de-
structivenesS when the invaders were driven from
northern Norway. This proffered act of mercy
and neighborliness made impossible by refusal
Of consent by German occupation authorities.
But the day of deliverance is close at hand.
And what score the Scandinavian peoples will
have to add to the sum of misery brought to the
world by Hitler and his doomed followers

Fruits of a Wise Policy

Americans have reason not only to be proud of
the achievements of our armed forces in the Pa
cific war which are approaching their first maj or
objective: Liberation of and firm establishment
in the Philippines
A source of deep pride is also to be found in
an enlightened policy which, pursued in our rela-
tons with the Filipinos for almost a half-century,
is bearing precious fruit.
Military authorities who have so brilliantly
planned and executed the campaign of liberation
are unanimously in agreement that its present
stage of progress could not have been reached so
soon and the road would have been far more
costly in lives, if our fighting men had not had
the loyal cooperation of Philippine guerrilla forces.
Never for a moment bending the knee to Japa-
nese invaders, these sturdy, courageous Filipinos
took to the hills after American surrender of the
islands was forced, and have never ceased to fight
to regain their freedom.

In the Line of Fire

Man by nature is a social animal He likes
company even if occasionally he is made aware of
the fact that his neighbors hive little too close
for comfort.
Nations too, sometimes are made uncomforta-
BILE in the same way but, unlike the individual,
the nation can't move away from its irIitant.
Consider the of Sweden: Flying bombs
flash and swish across the country with alarm
ing frequency. II is specialized that the Germans
are testing new V-weapons, and Sweden chances
to be in the line of fire
Perhaps if we of America were situated on
Nazi firing range we would better understand the
hectic life of people who must stand by while
the Germans are engaged in target practice

ut was the kind of speech which, if it had been
made in 1919 and 1920 by the then leaders of the
Republican Party in the senate, would perhaps have
prevented the Second World War"
Thus the spirit of Woodrow Wilson leads with
majestic stride the forces of world peace
Thus the courageous leadership of President
Roosevelt is breaking down the last barbados Of
historic Republican foreign policy
We have yet to hear from Thomas E. Dewey
titular leader of the hosts of the opposition which
finally are surrendering to the logic of events.
But that really doesn't matter

Isolati0nis,n Surrenders

The petulant, captious and indeeisive Mr.. Dewey
must have read a speech the other morning at
breakfast which curdled his porrdge.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan recently de-
livered an address in the upper house which for
mally buried the historic Republican policy of iso-
lationism so deep it's disinterment WILL let us hope,
not be possible in the future.
Writing of this remarkable address, David Law
renee says, in part, in his syndicated column DO
caly printed in the Seattle Times):
Not trace of partsanship captous criticism
is to be found in Vandenberg's utterance, which
gains prestige because he Is the chairman of the Re-
publican conference and because he Is also
of the influential members of the senate
foreign relations committee. 1t like breath
of fresh air to have Republican leader say forth
rightly that United States Is ready and willing to
lend Its influence power and indeed its physical
force to maintain peace In Europe in future years.

Their contribution has been great, all but de-
clslVe Now they welcome the Americans back be-
cause, during the whole period of our control of
island government, the Filpnos were given the
benefit Of enlightened encouragement toward self
rule according to democratic principles; Ameri-
can authorities helped the natives fight disease;
they made education free and available to all:
they aided economic Development; and, finally,
the American congress provided for independence.
In all the history of colonial policy among gov
elnments of the old world, there is no counterpart
of the unselfishness and magnanimity of our ad-
ministration of Philippine affairs, starting almost
at the moment of occupation during our war with
Spain and never faltering up to the coming of
Nippon's hordes.
That policy now is paying rich dividends. 1t
should be an object lesson to other nations in re-
casting their policies of empire toward subject
peoples.

Sometimes They Go Wrong

Study and practice of the military science lead
those who follow it profession to depend
upon hard facts as the only safe basis upon which
to plan victorious campaigns in the field
There must, of course, be theory else the sci
ence would remain static; there must be invention
and refinement of new weapons; there must be
revision of strategy and tactics to employ these
new weapons.
1t is when theory outweighs the fundamentals,
the known quantities. in the minds of military
men, that plans go wrong.
Something of this sort seems to have happened
in the case of the airplane and its functions in
modern war.
1t will require cold analytical study of the rec
ord after the war is ended, to accord to the air
arm it's exact weight in the final results. That
this weight was and is tremendous there can be
no doubt. There is less evidence that it was, in
itself, decisive, in the that it may have
tipped the scales in military situation which
otherwise might have evolved into an ntermina-
bly, long stalemate.
Even as to the relative Importance Of the air.
plane few military men went off the deep end.
None of them of consequence and high Importance
as leaders expected the ailpane alone to bring
victory.
1t was the Severskys who, in the first two years
VI our pdIllClpdllOl Ill llle Wal, hept lellnS US
that once the United States could put thousand
bombers over Berlin the end would be near.
Now we know that the old king and queen of
artillery and infantry-still rule the field,
ably abetted by the lance of that young upstart
princeling, armor.
The dazzling possibilities of the air arm for
time ruled the minds of our planners and led to
topheavy emphasis on production of planes and
locco of has
shells.
However, the military leader is taught to be
honest with himself, to admit his own miscacula-
tons. Perhaps that is why We hear little now
from him about the alleged failure of American
management and labor to produce in quantities
needed for quick victory.
When battle experience dictated change of en-
phasis, management and labor responded ade-
quately to meet the requirements of victory.

Constitutional Revision
Some of the states most conservative forces are
swinging around to support Gov. Mon C. Wall
green's recommendation, contained in his inaugural
message that the patchwork constitution of
Washington is overdue for thorough over
haul job.
Typical of reaction to the Governors suggestion
is the following quotation from the Seattle Times,
continued in an editorial in the issue for Janu-
airy Is:
1.-THE need (of constitutional revfson) has been
increasingly recognized Several governors of the
past have recommended that the constitution be
revised by the convention method for which it pro-
vides. Numerous amendments have been adopted
and frankly evasive laws been passed. But
all this, Governor Walgren rightly observes, has
been by way Of patchwork. Durable repair be
made only by revision Constitutional revision
is highly desirable, but only if undertaken without
Interior motives and with full of responsibility
for the future welfare of the state and all its people,
The writer in the Times puts his finger d-
rectly on the great danger inherent in further
unnecessary delay in bringing our constitution
abreast of social economic and governmental adj
vance during the SIS years which have elapsed
since its adoption.
That danger lies in what the Times calls
frankly evasive laws" which have been passed in
order to skirt or bypass limiting constitutional
provisions.
If the process of evasion demanded by the adj
vancing times, is followed too long, there could
come to the state, in practical effect, an end to
constitutional government.
There are serious students of political economy
who believe that government within the frame
work of basic constitutional limitations is the
wrong way to approach the ideal democracy; that
because constitutions are purposely made difficult
to change or amend the constructive force of this
legal strait jacket is, in effect, the ordering OF
the living present by the dead hand of the past.
Such persons argue that constitutions should be
abandoned, or at most confined to guaranteeing
certain natural human rights and perpetuation of
the democratic process; that day-to-day and year.
to-year governance should be left to statutes
sidered and enacted by the living to meet prob
lens of the day, without having to conform to
lettering boundaries drawn by the dead upon the
pages of the past
Rightly or wrongly, such change is being subty
achieved in this state because of irresistible de-
mands made by conditions which the trainers of
our state constitution could not foresee.
Because he senses this dangerous drift as much
as because there is immediate, compelling need
of constitutional sanction for pressing require
ments of legislative enactments to prepare for the
postwar world, Governor Wallgren has called for
revision of the states basic law.
1t is encouraging that the states thinking
servatives see eye to eye with the Governor
they soberly consider the dangers ahead if the
process of evasive notification is permitted to
continue.
