THE WAR IS OVER Peace—of an evil sort, no doubt, but nevertheless peace—came to Spain yesterday after 28 months of the bloodiest and most bitter warfare in the history of the world. The fate of the Spanish Loyalists had been sealed since the fall of Barcelona several weeks ago, so that yesterday's capitulation of Madrid didn't even rate the main bannerlines of the newspapers. Madrid, where a gallant defense by ill-armed rabble against the tanks, artillery and planes of Fran- co, Mussolini and Hitler won sympathy of the world two years ago, gave in yester- day without a struggle. “War-haggard faces reflected the ravages hunger in the city of nearly 1,000,000 population,” the Associated Press account of the surrender stated. The faces were those of women and children as well as of men. If there had been men alone in Madrid, the flag of republicanism would still be flying there in defiance to the dictators of Europe. But a man will not forever watch his wife and children starve. of When the Spanish war started, amid confusing reports of assassinations, revolts, storming of barracks and hand to hand fighting in the streets, Americans couldn’t tell the combatants apart and didn't know where their sympathies lay. Before it was over, Americans well knew. Public opinion polls taken a month ago showed an overwhelming preference in this gountry for the cause of the Loyalists, the losers. Mussolini was on the other side; so was Hitler; so were thousands of Moorish mercenaries; so—and it was a grief to many of us to see it in that lineup— ‘Was the Catholic Church. All of these had good reason to be supporters of Franco: Mussolini for poli- tical favors he has still to ask in Spain; Hitler for Italy’s backing in his Central Europe conquests; the Moors for money and plunder; the Catholic Church because it had really suffered persecution and indig- nity under the regime of the Proletariat in Spain and because it placed its trust for a new deal in the hands of the Fascists. The war was waged “to the hilt” as no war had been since the Middle Ages. Every method of de- struction and terror was used against the whole popu- lation. It was not enough to kill men in the trenches. All Spain became a battlefield. Women and children, the admiration and |peace plan. ‘hornmo a problem in higher geometry, with mechanism | abolished. The groundwork for the new conception | was laid by the mathematicians, Lobachevsky, Bolyai | and Riemann, who showed that it was not enough to reason about space in the manner of Euclid but that the correctness of a proposition in geometry must be established by observation; by Michelson and Morley. who engaged in what we now know to have been the meaningless task of trying to prove the existence of an ether; by the discoveries that astronomers and astrophysicists had made with powerful telescopes and liscriminating spectroscope: by Minkowski, who treated time as a fourth dimension. It took a bold | mind to sweep away the absurd ether and transfer its properties to space, to see relationships where none had seen them before, to prove that all past effort to :xplain the universe was misdirected. It is not important that another generation must pass before ordinary men will understand precisely what is meant by a closed universe, in which matter wraps space around itself, or by the inseparability of time and space on the grand schle. What is important s .the profound change that has come over men's | minds. We may not réalize just what is meant by sueh phrases as the ace-time continuum,” but we | do realize that nature cannot be explained in mechani- | cal terms, that to think of the universe as a machine S just as animistic as to think that the north wind is blown upon us by the puffed cheeks of a mythical Boreas. We owe to Einstein a new world outlook, | something worth far more in the long run than a process for converting mercury into gold. New Five-Year Plan (Cincinnati Enquirer) Sir Samuel Hoare, who is one of Mr. Chamber- | lain’s closest associates in. the British. Cabinet, and {who was active in the effort to “appease” dictators | before Mr. Chamberlain even became Prime Minister, {now comes forward with a proposal to declare a five- year holiday on war scares. He envisions a period | during which there will be “neither wars nor rumors ! of wars.” The suggestion would be an intriguing one if it did not follow six years of political disintegration in Europe and did not accompany the most colossal race for arms supremacy the world ever has seen. It Sir Samuel's idea, apparently, that the four men who made the Munich agreement, plus Joseph Stalin, could insure peace in Europe if 'they only chose to ollaborate. 1IN As far it goes, this is certainly true. But Sir Samuel said nothing of the terms on which he expect- ed Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini to embrace his profoundly since he last discussed these matters, he |is determined (1) to break the military power of France, (2) to conquer the Russian Ukraine, (3) to bring the Danube Valley under his tutelage, and (4) to recover Germany's prewar colonies—most of which are now held by non-European states. Are we to suppose Hitler will abandon these aims and content Himself with the boundaries of today? It is difficult to imagine. Are we to suppose Italy will be satisfied to drop all her demands on France? That, too, seems improbable. The only other alternative is ! to assume that Sir Samuel proposes a “peace” flexible enough to permit Germany and Italy to realize their ‘natural aspirations.” A five-year peace of this sort would be even more disastrous than the tenuous ‘peace” of the last five years, which has been a period | of uninterrupted military and diplomatic successes for | three allied powers—Germany, Italy, and Japan. { Before embracing a five-year peace plan of this | sort, America might well ask the peoples of Czecho- slovakia, Austria, Ethiopia, Spain, and China what they think of the last five years of peace on the Fascist dictators’ terms. i No Home for Charlie Schwah (Cleveland Plain Dealer) | It would be hard for even the most energetic Irabble rouser to evoke very much hatred toward Charles M. Schwab, the veteran steel master. For | one thing, he is always called “Charlie.” Mobs do ‘nov. leap the barricades to tear down Charlies. More successfully than many leaders of big busi- ness, Schwab has kept the human touch. Long before there were public relations experts to serve as Emily | Posts to industrial magnates, Schwab knew the value | lof a bit of sentimentality even in a trade like steel, | | traditionally as hard as its product. | Schwab returned to New York last weel Unless Herr Hitler has changed his ideas | -~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESD —_—————— ! c%;roscope “The stars incline but do not compel THURSDAY, MARCH 30, Je39 Until late today the planetary . pects are unimportant, according astrology.

The other one-fourth seems to be running things nowadays, however, SALMON AND OIL . The Bureau of Fisheries reports that very accep- table provision has been made to protect salmon spawn and young fish from possible harm as result of the oil drilling operations of the Suaco Experimental Drilling Association in the Alaska Peninsula area. The association, in which the Standard, Union and Associated Oil companies are cooperating, struck a deposit of salt water at a depth of about 500 feet. The | pressure at the well head was 150 pounds and the well was capped, the salt water later being released under | direction of the Bureau of Fisheries at a highwater | period in Salmon Creek, a tributary to Becharof Lake. “This was done so dilution would be sufficient to pre- vent the salt water from injuring spawn or fry. In order to provide a means of avoiding damage from any other wastes in future, the Association laid more than a mile of six-inch pipe to a point on the Pacific drairage of the peninsula, through which wastes could be discharged without any possibility of injury to fish life. In commenting on the matter in a recent publi- cation, a Bureau of Fisheries spokesman says: “Through this voluntary cooperation with the Bureau of Fisheries on the part of the Association, protection to fish and spawn has been provided before any dam- age could occur, This .. . is a fine example of pro- tection afiorded a natural resource through a mutual understanding of the problem by an industry and a conservation agency.” Einstein at Sixty (New York Times Congratulations will pour in upon Einstein today, his sixtieth birthday. They ought to pour in on the country too. Thanks to the barbarity and the bigot: of the present German Government tinguished of living mathematical physicists, one of the great figures in the history of intellectual achieve- ment, is a resident of the United States and a citizen- to-be. If the dazzling gift of Einstein were not dark- ened by a tragedy which has brought despair to fif- teen hundred university professos would be justified in cabling a warm “thank you" to the Fuehrer who has outdone the Middle Ages in fanatic cruelty and so far blighted German research that not for a generation after his evil influence has passed can it expect to recover something of its former glory.

A Political Protest, Soviet Style (Philadelphia Record) The strange psychology that is produced by authoritarianism is wonderfully demonstrated in th |case of the Russian radio operator, Mikhail M. Voz nesensky, who deliberately shut his station down so| as to impede efforts to rescue six Soviet North Pole | flyers. The flyers were never found and Voznesensky | has confessed his guilt, admitting that he was engaged in deliberate “wrecking” in order to hurt the regime. This is what dictators reap when they deny nor- mal means of political protest. So warped and twisted | must personality become under the regimes of the absolutists that even ordinary human concern for the fate of six men, lost in the Arctic, is forgotten in the opportunity to create trouble for the bosses. Voz- nesensky never thought about six human beings—he was merely practicing politics, Russian style. The dictators forgot that choking off free and public expression of protest does not end protest. It | translates it into new and strange forms. It invites the wrecking and sabotage that alone can show dis- satisfaction. We have tried to imagine a Republican radio operator shutting down his station in order to ¢pite six Democratic flyers, but we can't make it. It wen’t go. In this ilttle incident there is a great deal of meat for those who hold, as Americans do, that only with freedom can there be normal functioning of human personality.
