Scapeaoat We do not know into what wilderness the Petain-Laval overnnent, of France 13 about to send Edouard Daladier. ' But as they call thi3 former premier of France before their bar of justice, one thinks automatically of Aaron, instructed, according to the Cook of Leviticus, to "cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat." scape-goat." Ona wa3 to be offered up as a sacrifice, the other, "on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat,-' was to be presented alive to the Lord "to make atonement with him," after which- he-was to' be let go "for a scapegoat into the wilderness."' The collapse of France undoubtedly calls for a scapegoat, someone on whom the sins of a whole generation can be unloaded, un-loaded, and who can then be driveto into the wilderness, leaving leav-ing the people with the illusion that their own sins havQ gone with the scapegoat, clearing their own consciences and lightening light-ening the load on their own backs I ... X- -- - How human that ish ' , . . r The aged Petain, who passed the World'War under a brass hat at headquarters, is about to unload guilt on fhe boulders of Daladrer who spent four years scrambling in the mud of the Champaign as a sergeant. - The oily Laval, political politi-cal acrobat who failed to serve in the army in 1914-1918, is to judge the patriotism of the ex-sergeant who tried, too late, to rouse France to reality. ' x . We are. too far from France to judge accurately whatever what-ever case may be made against Daladier, whatever effort may be madeHo load upon him the guilt for the war and France's downfall. . ' X ' . -. : But the urgent need for a scapegoat is clear. If France is to be rallied to the new Petain-Laval government, it must be taught that, the former leadership was reckless, incompetent, incompe-tent, and if possible disloyal. Two years ago at just this, time, Daladier was pleading witKFjancc to get down" to work. A little later he was breaking break-ing the general strike that paralyzed "French efforts for the moment. To avoid war, it was Daladier who submitted to the humiliation at. Munich. ? As between Petain-Laval and Daladier, Americans should hot, and do nothave to choose. But .the odor of the "burnt saenfice.'the aspect of sending fdrtrTa scapegoat Into the wilderness, hangs heavily about the whole procedure. : The Eternal Sightseer - ' .'; ,X ,Ve Sways' thought that .the palm for sightseeing and touvenir-collecting went to us "Americans, feut news from Britain show3 that the English Tare just as bad. -Curiosity, and that irresistible "desire to be on the "teccne of action (so as to talk about it.afterward) "has been doing considerable harm in Britain.

The decision will be forced on it uimj, v. j official now charged with enforc ing that law Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold,' head of the anti-trust division. : ' . v Arnold argues that rull-capacity high-speed production of essential goods and materials cannot possibly pos-sibly be had untU combinations which restrain trade in the interest inter-est of stabilized v prices and "or derly" marketing are broken up. He argues, further, that? such combinations exist in almost every great industry with a few impor tant exceptions. i .

' No direct or indirect protest at Arnold's activities has come from top-Cbmmmitteemen Stettinius or Knudsen. From lesser .lights there has come a good deal of muttering; mutter-ing; from various army and navy officers, a good deal more. ; This is natural enough.

And also, I have heard serveral persons express their regrets that such flagrant disrespect has fcecn snown uiese musicians by per sons who evidently go to the band concerts for the purpose of visit ing with their friends, rather than to listen to the music rendered by these civic-minded young people loo, mere seems to be a question ques-tion that has not yet been settled In the minds of music lovers who appreciate the Sunday evening concerts are the parents of the children who laugh and shout, as they race, around among the list eners, to blame for such, rude ness, or should the children be expected instinctively to know how to be courteous to tiihtrs.

I observed ob-served that everyone continued conversing with his or her companions com-panions ihere was not the slightest slight-est attention paid to the . war news.

While . Americans can take time out to laugh and play they will be equal to meeting any emergency, , Sunday, many of Provo's young sons, with young men of other communities, will begin a journey which will terminate in their in tensive training for the defense of America. . All American citizens are pray ing that these boys in the khaki uniforms will not need to engage in real battles this year, next year, or ever, " but, nevertheless, it's a grand and glorious assur ance to know that these fine boys are ready, willing, and prepared to prove to the war-mad dic tators of Europe that U.
