OUT IN DARKNESS AND SILENCE
WE moderns take pride in the fact that the world
is known to us today. We like to think that
to the past belong the vast dark seas believed haunted
by monsters great tracts w hich cartographers could
only label “terra incognita.” the unknown land. In
our pride we have believed we had changed all that
—that the world was one that lands and people were
known one to another.
Pride always dangerous comes here to yet an-
other fall. For the brutal fact is that today we know
almost nothing of what goes on in the major part of
the world.
Three million men. says Tracy Strong general sec-
retary of the World Alliance of Y. M. C. A.*s. are pris-
oners of war today. Had you known that? Do you pic-
ture three million men behind barbed wire? Where
are all these men? How fares it with them? We do not
know.
Most of them of course are somewhere within
Germany; some are in Canada England. Greece. But
all are behind a veil of mystery withdrawn from the
land of the known. Three million men suddenly
snatched away not'into death but into darkness!
What goes on in Czechoslovakia and Poland? No
one knows at least no one in the general world. Here
teeming millions of people have been removed from
the world’s consciousness like figures erased from a
blackboard. They exist they go on somehow one be-
lieves. But how and even where we know' not. The
veil has blotted them out.
What happens in that vast third of the occupied
world known as Russia? We do not know. There trav-
elers cannot go with freedom reporters cannot send
out the pitiful scraps of information they may glean.
Here another veil has been drawn around multiple
millions.
How* do they fare in Holland in Belgium in Den-
mark and Norway and Sweden? We do not know —
only mere slivers of light penetrate this curtain. Nor-
mal travel normal intercourse between peoples of the
world is completely shattered.
The United States is probably the best informed
country in the world about the peoples of the rest of
the world. Yet even to us whole sections of that world
whole seething populations are as unknown as were
the lands of Tartarv to Europeans before Marco Polo.
What then must be the ignorance of these veiled
regions of the rest of the world?
They talked when war broke out in 1939. of a
“New Dark Age” to come. Is it not perhaps already
here?
SELECTIVE SERVICE AS A MIRROR
ONCE again selective service offers the United
States a chance to look itself squarely in the eye.
We took a good look in 1917-18. and we didn’t like
" hat we saw. Low intelligence test ratings all-too-high
illiteracy malnutrition poor teeth—all these things
showed up in the mirror as we examined our young
men.
Now once again we hold up the mirror to a cross-
section of young American men—and what we see is
not a cause for self-congratulation. Rejections for
physical reasons have run from 10 to 25 per cent of
men sent to camp for induction and of course many of
the more obviously unfit had been rejected by local
draft boards before that final winnowing out.
The standards of the army are not those of an
Olympic athletic team. They require only good nor-
mal health and capacity. Yet up to 25 per cent of
young Americans fail to show even that.
There are failures here failures of public health
of education of clinical facilities of diet. A sensible
people will regard these revelations not as some-
thing at which to wring ineffectual hands but as a
challenge.

LIGHT ON KING LEOPOLD
The original documents published
today by the Belgian-American Ed-
ucational Foundation should finally
acquit King Lro.'old of any sus-
picion of dishonor in the surrender
of his army last May. They prose
that the King liad warned his allies
repeatedly of the imminence of a
Belgian surrender They prove that
the Belgian troop* were in the last
extremity after having lost 40000
casualties in the last two davi of
tn* Flanaer* horror and that the
milling crowds of refugees suffered
fcfill more terribly from German
trmi1 and £hellfire Most important
of all in :l'.e liRi-.t of the charges ol
rival ■‘treachery'’ last Spring they
prove that tne King signed no ar-
mistice. no political document no-
thing that would remotely suggest
negotiation with the enemy. He
simply laid down his arms when all
was lost and was taken prisoner.
II Belgian Cabinet Ministers had
known these things last May. they
would hardly have denounced the
Kmg as the'- did The sinister fact
that four vital bridges fell intact
I into German hands on the very
first day—a fact now admitted pub-
licly by the Belgian Chief of Staff
—will not alter history* verdict that
the King and most of his soldirrs
j fought bravely to the bitter end.
But the King s reputation will not
stand or fall on his conduct in the
eighteen days’ campaign. He not
only was Commander In Chief of
his armv in fact as well as in name
—a position for which a professional
soldier would have been better
trained and fitted— but the dis-
unity of his country also led him
; to play too commanding a part in
the foreign policy which preceded

not on solid ground when they now

t ler pro-Ally nor pro-German but

gift to Hitler. It rested on a promise
by Hitler who had shown repeatedly
that his promises were worthless.
It prevented the military coordina-
tion which might conceivably have
checked Hitler's invasion. It led

VLMSHINGTON — Tins govern-

lsh know within the past ten days |
that direct American Involvement
lr. the war is out of the question.
The leading legal representative
of his majesty's government in New
York held a thro* hour unrecorded
conference with a ranking cabinet
officer at which the international
position of the United States was
fully canvassed. Gn the phase of
American fighting the situation
was outlined in the following ap-
parently accurate way:
The waning congress la over- :
whelmlngly against unveiling
American guns; the one coming m
January is even more so. accord-
j mg to advance polls. As only con-
' gress can declare war. this puts
j the idea completely aside.
The only thing likely to make
1 the legislative branch change its
' mind is German violence to Arr.er-

cautious German policy in this re-
| speet so far such a prospect seems
j remote.

BY DEWITT MACKENZIE
Some time ago this column rec-
orded that it was apparent we
Americans shortly mould be laced J
with the problem of deciding
whether we wished to increase our
war-aid to England since the Brit-
ish themselves were rating tha
question.
I suggested that It behooved us ~
to get busy In advance of the event *
and make up our minds just wnat
me wanted to do. This British ap-
peal—which is developing strongly
or* both sides of the A’lantic— is
too important for us to delay
consideration until we have to give J
snap judgment.
Enter Battle?
And now I'm going a step further
and call your attention to tha
growing intimations from England
and hire at home that our aid )
should carry us into the war.
A bit has been cut off this pieca
of cloth by Lady Nancy Astor
American-born member of tha (
British parliament and wife of Lord
Astor. Sh« didn t say right out in
meeting that me ought to join tha
conflict but in addre.vung tha
Eagle squadron of American vol-
unteers in the Roval Air force in 4
London she exclaimed:
• I knew they woud come. Thou-
sands of voung Americans are long-
ing to get into this war. It is right
that they should.”
Typical Opinion
That's rather typical of the trend *-1
rf thought in many quarters in
Britain and one encounters soma
of it here at home. So I say it a
quite likely that before long me
shall have to face a further call
from England that we extend our
aid to the battlefield. 4
Again I suggest that me ought
fortwith to devote to this moment-
ous question our best thought so
that me may have ready a consid-
ered answer and not a hysterical
response evoked by some sensation-
al incident. 1
The first point me must settle la
what our purpose would be In go-
ing to war. You ve got to have a
mighty good reason—not Just a
catchy slogan. Would we be res-
cuing a friend? Would we be fight-
ing for democracy? Would we oa
battling for self-preservation? I
What Banner Now?
When our boys went over the top
in the Word war they were in-
spired with high ideals about mak-
ing the world safe for democracy.
What banner will Sir Galahad
fly in thus war? Thar for |H
and for me to decide well and truly
before me strike.
If and when we have determined
the pupo-e of our sacrifice wa
shall be confronted Immediately by
another great issue namely to
what ends are we prepared to go
to achieve our goal Ls It a fight to
a finish? Nazidom has declared
I that It is out to destroy England;
British Premier Churchill not long
ago cried — W> seek to beat the
life and soul out of Hitler and’
Hitlerism—that alone.”
That question arose at the end
of the last war when millions of
good m*n and brave already lay’
dead It will come up again in thia
war. What * the answer?
