WAR AND EDUCATION How war interrupts civilized life, sparing no one, is seen in the annual report of the Guggenheim Foundation, issued recently. The Foundation grants fellowships to research scholars and creative workers of promise, enabling them to accomplish fine tasks | in the arts and sciences. At present more than half of its 125 fellowships of record are postponed for reasons connected with the war. Men and women lately engaged in bettering human life by widening the field of knowledge have been called away grimmer business. Some are bearing arms, some serve in war factories and laborataries or teach in training camps, and some are obliged to linger idle in foreign lands. But the Foundation, resolved tc continue to be socially useful through these disturbed times, meets the situation with a move which we believe to be unique. It has decided to grant post-service fellow- ships this year, holding them in readiness for candi- dates not able to use them until released from present | obligations to armed and other governmental services. | For these fellowships the sum of $200,000 has been appropriated, the fund to be in addition to the nor mal future fellowship budgets. This move is more than to | ~ THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE— wishful post-war planning on paper plan actually in operation. It will help to bridge the inevitable gap between the end of the war and the resumption of peacetime living Among the first nominations for the post-war scholarships is a historian who proposes a study of Anglo-French relations in the thirteenth and four- teenth centuries. He is now an Army lieutentant in North Africa. Another, of the fellowships is reserved for a young poet, a sergeant in New Guinea, who has published a book of poems since joining the Army. A third will go to a composer of music who, at the moment, is a coporal. Meanwhile, the granting of normal fellowships for 1944-456 reveals the catholicity of the work of the Foundation. Twenty-one States of this country and three Provinces of Canada are represented among the recipients. Women's names are frequent. Several of the scholars on the list are Negroes. Several others are refugees. One of these is a German journalist who was interned successively in Holland, Belgium, Britain and Canada before at last gaining freedom One, a university instructor, a plant pathologist and a student of virus reproduction, is a Japanese by birth, whose wife and child are now in a Western detention camp. The average age of those who qualified is 40, but at least two of the grants go to pérsons over 55. The interests of this year's group incline to biology and history, but touch almost every branch of research and creative work. The light of learning is dimmed in wartime. Many worthy adventures of the mind have to wait, and works that might enrich life must be deferred. Knowledge is accumulated slowly and tediously, even in the best of peacetimes. It is good [that the Guggenheim Foundation perseveres, as it | does, to keep the lamp burning. ,lkker and Tires (Cincinnati Enquirer) We view with some alarm Mr. Donald Nelson's statement that our country is using more than 1,000~ 000 gallons of 190-proof aleohol each day in the manu- facture of rubber necessary for the war effort. The fact that 200,000,000 highballs are being processed each | 24 hours bodes no good for the war effort, or for American drivers. We always were taught that alcohol and gasoline the simile on to other parts of our automobile. We presumed it would be dangerous to play with steering wheels and likker, and we were certain that the old foot throttle never should be touched in the same breath with a pint of Kentucky dew. Now we learn that the government, even, is making tires of the maybe the cars of the future won't go swerving and swaying along the roads, much after the manner {of a human whose alcoholic stimulant has gone to | his feet. Still, for all its humorous possibilities, the Nelson statement shows the real reason behind America’s ‘cun‘enl shortage of spirits. Alcohol is one of the | primary war needs. Our plants are making it—more | than ever was made before—but victory comes before our desire for a drink. There are few Americans who | will argue that it should be otherwise. #ashingfon sRe s Merry- \\exv going to be block the repeal.
