This means that it réceived revenue from the state and that its clergy were nom- inally designated by the King. To Quisling and his| | employers the system was ideal, and they immediate- |ly took steps to put Nazi appointees and Nazi ideas yin control. The Norwegian churchmen, having to | choose between the Sermon on the Mount and naz- |ism, did not hesitate. Last March all seven of the Bishops resigned after Quisling had placed one of his | creatures in the pulpit of the Trondheim Cathedral. |In April it was reported that the entire Lutheran | clergy of Norway had resigned, though continuing to | hold divine worship. Now five Bishops, and one dean | who speaks of the imprisoned Bihop Eivand Berg- | grav, have met in Oslo to constitute a provisional | church council, independent of the Quisling “state.” | | They say, among other things: | “It would seem that the church has suffered defeat . for indeed it has no temporal power; the fact' |is, however, that it has won a great victory in pre-f serving an unbroken front inside as well as outside [ly without illegal interference from the state to cre- | ate a free church.” 20 YEARS AGO 7% pyprns AUGUST 13, 1922 Alaska as the great dairy state of the future, was the prediction made by Associate' Forester E."A.

Edgar Hoover, “You have built up from nothing an oxtranrdhmru_v‘xwt take off his hat in reverence to these brave men, | able and efficient service for detecting and punishing crime throughout the Unitéd States,” he almost spoke the truth. He forgot to mention, however, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s services extend beyond the | limits of the States to Alaska and other Territories. The terrible speed with which the case of the eight Nazi saboteurs were punished for their crimes is the Jatest example of the FBI's service. When the present Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigaton first became associated with the De- partment of Justice 25 years ago the now famed FBI was only a minor governmental investigative group. Mr. Heover became Assistant Director of the bureau in 1919—and began to dream of making it a national law enforcement agency which could begin where the conflicting and limited authorities of state and local police left off. His chance to head the bureau came in 1924, when the noted William J. Burns resigned the directorship. At that time, however, the need for a national law enforcement agency still was not widely appreciated. The few agents of the FBI had little authority to fight crime. Their activities were narrowly restricted ! acknowledges a moral law in the universe, who will Russian Policy ‘Cincinnati Enquirer) | The mischievous rumor is being spread about that lour greatest danger in months just ahead is that of a separate peace between Germany and the Soviet Union.

There is no foundation in fact or logic for such a suspicion. Russian leaders have just a much British and Americans.

And Russia would be deprived of her richest prov- inces if peace were made under present conditions, The Russians, whether one refers to the mass of peo- to matters in the province of the Department of Justice. Prohibition gangsterism during the latter 'twenties soon began to show, however, that there were crime problems which local and state authorities found be- yond their capabilites. There arose an evil lot of arch criminals who laughed at state boundaries and local law enforcement agencies. Then came the kid- napers. And in 1934 Congress began to give Mr. Hoover the things he asked for to do the job. In a series of anti-crime bills, it empowered FBI agents to carry weapons, make arrests, and asume jurisdiction in crime cases which impinged upon PFederal inter- ests. It is now a matter of history what excellent use Mr. Hoover made of his authority and his opportuni- ties. He developed and trained a staff noted for in- corruptability, fearlessness, and almost fantastic effi~ ciency. Throughout his management, Mr. Hoover has fended off political control of or interference in his bureau.
