bTHE SHADOW DEEPENS
HE CITY OF LIGHT has become the City of
Darkness.
Paris in the hands of the invading Nazis is largely
intact in its physical aspect. Ponderous Notre Dame
squats unmoved by the Seine. The lacy marble
reredos of St. Etienne de Mont unbroken and un-
spoiled. still guards the bones of St. Genevieve pa-
tron of Paris. On the Hill of Martyrs the soaring
splendor of Sacre Coeur Church stands serenely in
the sunlight.
Perhaps even the lights which caused Paris to be
called affectionately "La Ville Lumiere" the City of
Light may be switched on again after all the black-
outs for the French and British will scarcely bomb
Paris even though it be occupied by the invader.
But the light which really made Paris worthy of
its name has been blanketed for the time being by
darkness. That was a light of the spirit—a light that
illumined the freest city in the world.
The Nazis may restore the physical street-lighting
system and make Paris bright again in the midnight
hours. But that other light they cannot restore.
From darkness light can never come. And dark-
ness began to fall over Germany in 1033 when a
philosophy became dominant there which said that
man was a servant not a master that he existed not
for the full and free development of himself and the
enjoyment of his own life but as a human ant with
no other thought or object than to build ever higher
and broader the ant-hill which the King Ant had de-
creed to be the be-all and the end-all of life.
Such a conception of man and of life is in itself a
darkness. And this darkness spread forcibly pro-
jected across one country after another in Europe. It
is still spreading like an ugly blot. The shadow is
deepening and creeping across all Europe.
When the night comes man trims the wicks and
lights the lamps. In modern life he pushes a button
and floods his rooms with instant light. If the night
is darker than usual he often reassures himself by
lighting an extra light or two.
This is our task. Until the morning comes and
light returns again to the earth as it has always done
we must light extra lamps in our own house and trim
the wicks inspect the wiring that they may burn
steadily until day comes.
The City of Light is darkened. But it will not al-
ways be so. We are justified in our firm faith that
after even the darkest night comes day again. Until
then let us keep resolutely burning every light that
we have power to kindle.
YES WE CAN MOVE FAST
WITHIN one hour after the Navv Department was
notified that the new naval appropriation bill
was signed contracts were awarded and allocations
made for 22 ships.
The dictators may claim to do things faster but
that's fast enough for all practical purposes.
This republic can move and move fast when
necessity drives and the progress of the defense pro-
gram shows it. The insidious propaganda being de-
liberately spread by foreign sympathizers is that re-
publics can’t move fa?t enough in this blitzworld.
We are now in process of proving otherwise and the
clang of hammers in 50.000 forges is going to under-
line the proof.
Once roused a democratic people under a repub-
lican government is the most effective force in the
world for peaceful progress by preference but for
fighting if they must

Curbstone vigilantes who work
themselves into a frenzy at mere
sight of a swastika might do well
to realize that Adolf Hitler has
no patent on this symbol which
like the star and the crescent
oates from ancient times. South-
western Indians used the swas-
tika as a good-luck symbol before
the white men arrived and Texas
cattle were carrying swastika brands
when the youthful Adolf was still
wearing short parts in Austria.
At least fourteen Texas ranch
owners have used the swastika
brand recently some of them have
teen using it for thirty years or
more. Some of these brands are
similar to the Nazi symbol but
about half of them have the outer
lines turned in the opposite direc-
tion. One of these Texas swastika
brands is applied on a slant; an-
other has rounded turns instead
of sharp angles. All of them were
aoopted before Hitler came into
pow?r.
A Kenedy ranchman who recent-
ly fbandoned the swastika brand.
says he adopted it at the request
i of his grandion. who had seen it
used in Indian signs in New Mex-
ico. A Beckvllle cattleman used it
because his wife had read Egyptian
stone* in which it was referred to
a> a token of good luck. A Fort
Davis rancher kept on using it
because it was the brand of the
previous owner whom he bought
out. The sign is still in use on
other ranches from the Panhandle
to the Rio Grande.

Jehovahs Witnesses have made
clear their use of the swastika in
a picture on the cover of one of
their pamphlets was incidental

By PaulMallonJ^^
YT/ASHINGTON — The cabinet
room of the White House rang
with sharp irritated words from the
lips of the always soft-spoken
President Roosevelt the other day.
Both his voice and his ire were
raised in the presence of the en-
tire cabinet against an official
prominent in the reform group
who sought to enlist the presi-1
dent s aid against encroachment ’ |
of the Knucisen Stettinius delense
commission in his department.
It seemed Commission Edward
R. Stettinius had employed an ex-
pert who was dealing so constant-
ly with one of the government
bureaus that the bureau chief m-
vited him to take a desk in the
office in order to facilitate both
his work and theirs.
Stettinius called the top official
in charge of the department and
asked his permission. The official
replied he would need a lew days
for Investigation and then com-
p.amed to the president that
stettinius was trying to pry into
his department. FDR immediately
made it clear he wanted no ob-
! .stacles placed m the path of the
delense group even by his best
1 friends.
Naturally none of the particip-
ants is talking but the story has
gotten around far enough in the
lop stratum of the government to
warrant the conclusion that the
defense commission is not going
to run into any interference irom
the reform element.
OFFICIAL phones from abroad
have re;iorted Hitler's plan
was to finish the French by the
end of this month then to start
rlter the British the latter part
of the lirst week in July. His
preparaioris were made with that
schedule in view. There is no
authoritative information on the
possibility that the schedule may
now be moved up.
Hitler s plans all of which have
1 een successful so * far. contem-
plate occupation of Britain six
! weeks after the inauguration of
I the attack although the British
may have something to say about
that.
pETAIN and the french leaders
have publicly ascribed their
1 defeat to "overwhelm.ng numerical
| superiority' but this icason has
gained no wide appeal with ot-
iieialdc-m here.
A certain senate leader says
privately he saw tlie deieat com-
ing two years ago when on a trip
aoroad. he observed the French
working six hours a day on a five-
day week while the Germans were
snuggling twelve hours at their
var.ous enterprises.
All military explanations boil
down into a single one—they
could not stop the tanks. Wey-
gands depth defenses the un-
wieldly 75s. and anti-aircraft guns
were just not enough to hold up
ti.e heavily armored German
tanks.
This means that no efficient
way has yet been discovered to
'■fop this method of wailare al-
though our ollic als who are walk-
ing on the problem are begmn.ng
to see the answer. An article by
Major James Randcliph. orananc*
r—am. in the Cavalry Journal
lor March details many new tricks
to destroy the windshield and
periscope vision of tank operator*
the digging of pits to trap them
alive like elephants etc The gen-
eral military view however is that
the best deiense would be superior-
ity in the air and the creation of
hither callbred anti-tank guns on
anti-aircraft principles in such
quantities that several could be
assigned to each vulnerable com-
munity.
"FHE War Department and de-
fense commission came swiftly
to their first major unannounced
conclusion namely that quality
would have to be sacrificed ior
quantity in defense production.
Striving for the best in every
’ine. the army has hitherto thought
it necessary to use trucks with 8
speeds forward and 2 speeds back-
ward in order to move troops
swiftly. Also they have been buv-
mg yearly new model tanks and
autos to the point where the prob-
lem of supplying spare parts has
impeded efficiency.
Hitler took the opposite line
Jis 105 MM Howitzers have no
complicated recoil mechanism and
| are inferior to the French weapon
but he stamped them out in such
great quantities as to literallv
overwhelm the better French guns

wittingly or unwittingly to a pre-
mature step in that direction.

Sell yourself—not your college
degree. The employer is only m-
teiested in what you can aceom-
pii>h for him. Your degree in it-
self guarantees
nothing
Know what you
want — apply for
something defi-
nite. And don’t
forget the smile.
These pointers
and many others
each year are of-
fered to college
seniors about to
seek their places
in business or In-
dustry. More of
this guidance
and c o a ~ h i n g
could stlU be „
used. Robinson
Employers seek college trained
men to provide future leadership.
Fxcept for a few joba requiring
highly specialized or technical
knowledge their immediate needs
could be filled from non-college
ranks.
In using graduate?! therefore
employers expect other qualities
besides mere knowledge of facts.
The abilltv to influence people to
analyze to find facts as needed
and to make reasonable decisions
—these must accompany the col-
lege degree or It mav be worth-
less as an aid to employment and
promotion.
One should not ask so serious-
ly. -What are the chances for ad- I
vancement?’* and expects tne
would-be employer to outline his
whole future. This man Is always
* willing to begin at the bottom” |
but in the same breath he wants
to know how long he will have to
stay there.
This mav be a perfectly natu- .
ral question but some of the
smarter seniors are leaving it un-
it To the employer the
chance* for advancement seem
gcod for the right man. Most em-
ployers would not hire college
men unless they felt they could
advance.
On his first job. the graduate
should remain inconspicuous as a
college man in the eves of other
workers at least until he is well
oriented and has the Teel'* of the
j organization.
One of the greatest aids to col-
lege men is actual working expe-
rience before graduation say 'dur-
ing summer vacations 'if obtain-
able them or during a year out
of school.
Co-operative colleges which reg-
ularly schedule quarter or half
jears at work In between similar
intervals of college work are on
the right track. They are bringing
education and the needs of busi-
ness and Industry into close rela-
tionship and are giving the stu-
dent an opportunity to bu ld a
perspective which the student
without experience must lack
The opportunity to try one’s
seif at work under real discipline
to observe different jobs at differ-
ent levels to understand worker
attitudes through close contacts at
n earlier age ma” prove to be
guidance aids out of all propor-
tion to the remuneration received.
That Is why ro-operatne gradu-
ates have experienced little trou-
j fcle In finding j-atisfactory oppor-
tunities after graduation.
That many rraduates find the
doors to emplovmrnt and promo-
tion wide open Is more than a
matter of luck It suggests that
those who have trouble mav be
dt finitely at fault and need a
clearer understanding of what Is
expected and the procedure ln-
J solved.
