Professor Haugen says the conquest was possible not by any Norwegian duplicity but by the “diabolical cleverness” of the Germans, who turned to account those very qualities of the Norwegians| for which they are most admired, their peacefulness, democracy and high civilization. “The outstanding mistake of Scandinavia,” he quotes New York Times Correspondent Harold Callender, “was that it imag- ined it lived in a world as civilized as itself.” The reason Norwegian warships were ordered | not to fire on the German armada coming up Oslo- fjord was not that a traitor had signed the orde: Haugen claims, but because the Norwegian vessels| had nothing but raw recruits aboard and were not ready for battle. Similarly the naval base at Horten surrendered because its officers thought it better to give up the fort than subject Oslo to bombardment. A force of 1500 parachute troops was able to take Oslo without firing a shot because Oslo had no armed force to oppose them. If all these things are true, they would seem to constitute almost as severe an indictment against the Norwegian government as that written by Stowe. The Professor admits Norway was unprepared. | “It is easy to criticize now the military policy fol- Jowed during the years after the last war,” he says. Norwegians could be so base submission S0ITOW made have turned their ¢ountiy into an armed fort, with an unhappy, under-fed population inside it; perhaps they should have turned their little surplus into guns instead of into health insurance.” Looking back, we can say that undoubtedly Norway should have pre- Without a defense force to repel ruthless in- vasion, their health insurance, full larders and high civilization count for very.little indeed. Professor Haugen contributes materially to our understanding of what happened in Norway. How- ever, his protestations on behalf of the Norwegians are no more to be accepted in toto than are the stories of quite different aspect from Corréspondenb Stowe. Very importantly, Professor. Haugen says: “The problem of heroism and cowardice becomes an entirely new one under the conditions ¢f modern To speak of individual heroism today is like speaking of the executive ability of a factory piece worker, Modern war is not a test of man- hood.

He is just a cog in a great war machine, which mows down every hope. of beauty and aspiration in its way, until it meets another war machine that can cope with it.* Whether the true story of Norway is that of Leland Stowe or that of Professor Einar Haugen or, as is most likely, something in between, it is a story warfare. from which Amercians can learn much in preparing| their own nation to defend itself. A Doctrine Made Law (Cincinnati Enquirer) For more than a century it has been a cardinal principle of American foreign policy that no exten- sion of European political control in the Western Hemisphere would be tolerated. The Congress fis now on the point of clarifying, extending, and strengthening the Monroe Doctrine, ‘The pending resolution declares that any transfer of American territory from one non-American power to another would neither be recognized “nor acqui- esced in” by the United States It indicates the Washington Government would consult other American Governments to decide ‘on common action, should the problem arise. But in- formal declarations make it quite clear that the Army and Navy would not have to wait for collec- tive action by the American republics before using force to prevent a transfer of territory in this hemis- phere. Although entirely consistent with the traditional Monroe Doctrine, this resolution has a specific pur- pose—to prevent Germany from asserting or exer- cising authority over the Dutch West Indies. It will have an additional application, in the event of a complete Allied defeat, in that it will forbid Ger- man acquisition of any French or British territories in the New World, ‘The sentiment in Congress and the State De- partment is overwhelmingly favorable to this reso- lution, and naturally. For while we have got on well enough with England, France, and Holland as neigh- bors in this hemisphere, we know with absolute certainty that we could not get on pacifically with Nazi-controlled islands or mainland colonies at our doors. There is one interesting sidelight on this reso- lution. It implies very clearly that the United | States has an important stake in the outcome of the present war. We are not isolated from™ the struggle, and especially from the territorial reper- cussions it will have if Hitler should triumph, An Analogous Error? (Philadelphia Record) If we are to help the Allies, as now seems almost | too late, ought we not build an army primarily and openly designed to fight in Europe? = And if that is too late, isn’t the only sound polic; for us a political and military policy of Western Hemisphere defense? President Roosevelt went as far as he could go constitutionally in expressing the will of this coun- try to help the French. To do otherwise would have been to share the responsibility for one of the great disasters of history. But from this point on, we must worry more about the state of Brazil's defenses than the state of France's. We must be prepared to defend Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Venezuela and all the rest of this hemisphere. And we must realize that we are not going to stop short of war, if Germany threatens any country “Perhaps they were mistaken; perhaps they should grade printing work is available at The to make estimates for you on the followi Telephone in this hemisphere, A R Expert Job Printin PRODUCTIVE HAND BILLS, ECONOMICAL BUSINESS FORMS, EFFECTIVE POSTERS, OR DISTINCTIVE LETTERHEADS.

(Copyright, 1940) New Law Unit Is Formed WASHINGTON, July 1. — The Department of Justice has mobilized against wartime sedition and sabo- tage by forming a so-called neu- trality law unit to prosecute all violations of espionage regulations. Attorney General Jackson named Government Attorney Lawrence Smith to direct the new unit in co- operation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State, War, Navy and Treasury departments. Smith is a former member of the Philadelphia law firm of Supreme Court Justice Roberts. ‘The Justice Department dech:‘ed! that the new unit will not overlap the FBI but will coordinate the prosecution of neutrality and sedi- tion law violations throughout the United States.
