Navy Reduces
Indu(tee, Calls

WASHINGTON, April 4 (UP)
The navy department said to-
day it is cutting down on its calls
for men through selective service.
1t is explained that this was
being done so that II will not 60

$500, 900 by July l.
Two factors are understood TO
be responsible for the reduction.
First is the satisfactory progress
of the war in the Pacific with a
resultant smaller demand for re-
placements than had been ex-
pected. The other is that volun-
tary enlistments of 17-year-oldS
are coming along at a high rate.
"The navy's call on selective
service have been and are being
gradually reduced In order to
conform TO authorized strength

Possibly are over-ambtious, but we hold
closely to another thought
Europe is one of the battle scenes of titanic
world struggle. Not even the Thirty Years War
left such tragic consequences in it's wake as the
ruin already wrought by the present war.
The continent to which most Americans trace
their origins is looking for way out-not merely
way out of this war; but pathway to new
world of peace
Perhaps this paper might be permitted the
suggestion that these troubled peoples study the
peaceful record of the Scandinavian peoples, their
development of the democratic idea in govern
ment and neighborly behavior extending back for
centuries
Just now. it is true, the situation in Finland is
choatic after trying times; Norway and Denmark
are still under the iron heel of ruthless invader.
But no one doubts that in the end these nations
will be liberated to rebuild and take their places

LlNDBERGH AND ERICSSON

What has become of Lindbergh?
The great flyer was last reported on a mission
connected with our effort in the Southwest
Pacific Wherever he may be, it is safe to say he
is doing something useful and important
Lindbergh and Ericsson are two Scandinavian
names in America Immediately associate with
epochal developments in modern warfare; with
Americas ability to fight winning wars
Ericssons invention of the principle of a revolv-
ing gun-turret on iron-clad ship Immediately
junked the wooden navies of the world; more spe-
officially it probably determined the course of our
Civil War. The inventors contribution, the Mont
tor-the "cheese-box on raft'-came in the nick
of time. Washington was in panic, under dire and
imminent threat of destruction The Monitor end
ed this, renewed confidence in the North and en-
abled the Lincoln government to remain in Wash
ington to direct the fight which won in the end.
Who can say what might have happened without
the benefit of John Ericssons idea?
Lindbergh didn't invent the airplane; but the
holiness, the sheer audacity of his Paris solo
flight FASTENED the advance of air science beyond
any measure which could be applied with certain
ty. In the thirty-three hours he was in the air
alone the airplane was changed r m barn
storming county-fair plaything into one of the
brightest, most dazzling chapters in the human
story.
At the time of Lindberghs epochal flight the
airplane had been made in mans workshops for
quarter century; but before it could quit being
a "contraption' and become tool, it had to be
made in mans mind
Slim" Lndbergh did it.
Later there was tragedy in his life, both private
and public. Greed never had more shining OBJ
ject TO destroy with its blighting touch. But most
Of US viii believe it failed; that Lindbergh still

The publishers of this journal believe Amer-
cans of Scandinavian birth or extraction having
derived from nations with history Of centuries
OF devotion to democratic ideals in government,
have an obligation to further those ideals in
America.
Scandinavians in the State of Washington and
IN the whole Pacific Northwest feel special pride
and sense of civic duty. because from pioneer
times their brain and Drawn have contributed
greatly to this regions development
At the present time this feeling of obligation is
greatly heightened because not only does an
American Of our blood sit at the head of our
state government. but two Others likewise Scan
cinavian in origin. are participants in our high
est expression of peoples rue-the Congress Of
the United States. We refer to Governor Mon c.
Walgren. whose father was born in Sweden and
whose mother is Anercan-born of pioneer Nor
wegian and Danish parents: United States Sena-
Tor Warren G. Magnuson, OF Swedish descent, and
Henry NJ. Jackson, Representative in Congress,
. whose racial roots stem in Norway.
The decision was not easy for Mr. Wallgren
when ne consented to give up his position Of great
influence in the L. S. Senate to become Governor
and thus devote his talents more intimately to the
people OF, his state. But il should be easy for
Scandinavians TO give him their undivided sup
port, just they should Loyalty support Mr.
Magnuson and Mr.. Jackson and all others gen.

toward linking even more closely the high tradi-
tons OF the Scandinavian peoples with the glori-
ous human advance in America.

these ancient boundaries aside IN spirit.
The oldest existing parliament Is that Of Ice
