VIEWS VICHY RELATIONS ?Gordon S. Wright, professor of his-
tory at the University, answersquestions concerning Allied-Vichy
relations.
How Far Will
Vichy Go in Aid
To Hitler?
Reviewed by GORDON WRIGHT
Dr. Gordon Wright, professor of his-tory at the University and author of
this article, has undertaken to an-swer the all-important and perplex-
ing question "How Far Will VichyGo?" A recognized authority on
European history and events, hetraveled extensively in France
shortly before the war. Dr. Wrightwas recently awarded a prize by the
American Historical society for hiswork on French history. It is from
this work that Dr. Wright draws hisconclusions on the Vichy regime.
FOR nearly two years now, France hasbeen teetering on the brink of fullmilitary collaboration with the axis.
From time to time there is a flurry ofrumors that Vichy is about to take the
leap. We are in the midst of such a periodnow; and whether it will pass like the
others remains to be seen.
It is clear enough that Vichy has some-thing useful to Germany and dangerous
to the allied nations. German access toTunisia and Dakar are bogeys only less
fearsome than use of the French fleetwould be. What has held France back thus
far in the course toward full collaboration?Some think it is Petain's fear of public
anger in France, and anger that wouldbring mutiny in the fleet and open revolt
throughout the country.
Perhaps that does influence the 85-year-old marshal, who is determined to stay
in office long enough to carry out his self-styled "National Revolution." Certainly
Petain admires much of the spirit of NaziGermany, even though he does not want
a carbon copy of Hitler's system in France.Just as certainly, he is aware that his
regime could not survive the fall of Hitler.He has gambled on a German victory,
not out of love for Germany, but out of aconviction that only thus can France
emerge from what he regards as the weak-ness and corruption of the liberal republic.
It would seem, therefore, that he ought tooffer up the French fleet as a sacrifice to
fascist victory.And yet Petain is still a patriot and a
soldier. His soldier's oath means some-thing to the old gentleman, no matter what
his political doctrines may be. Petainpromised in 1940 that the French fleet
would never be turned against his formerally, Britain. So long as Britain and the
United States give him no good excuse tobreak that promise, he is likely to hesitate
before such a step. Evidently that is thetheory on which our state department is
operating. Some brand it as appeasement,and demand an immediate break with
Vichy. There would be plenty of reasonfor such a step, but it must be admitted
that it would risk throwing Petain all theway into the arms of the axis. Perhaps
prudence is still the better course for.American diplomacy, even though it is
not a very pleasant course.
Marshal Petain's death, were it to occurin the near future, would doubtless solve
the whole problem of our relations withVichy. There is no other man with the
prestige and the personal following whichhe possesses. His passing would probably
bring a greater or lesr,er degree of chaosin France. Nor would any of his succes-
sors hesitate long before making a dealwith the Germans. None of them is bound
by a soldier's oath; none of them placepatriotism higher than personal ambition.
Darlan, Laval, Doriot, Deat have allrisked their careers and their necks on Hit-
ler's success. Petain's death ought to bean automatic signal to our state depart-
ment to wash its hands of Vichy and torecognize DeGaulle. Perhaps, however, it
will not have to wait that long.
Miss Case Writes
Two articles in national magazines have
gained considerable prominence for Vic-
toria Case, '21, of McMinnville. The second
member of the Case family to receive
such recognition, she is the sister of Robert
O. Case, fiction writer and author.
The first of Miss Case's articles, "Neigh-
bors to the Rescue" was published in the
Saturday Evening Post. The second
"Shark Bonanza" was used by the Read-
er's Digest. The Post article deals with the
response of Oregon's people to appeals
from seasonal crop growers last year when
crops were going unharvested because of
lack of labor. "Shark Bonanza" is the story
of the miraculous yields to Oregon fisher-
men for needed shark livers for Vitamin
A last year.

Physician, surgeon, stu-
dent, and teacher, Dr.
Ralph C. Matson, '02, is
nationally recognized as
an authority in the field of
tuberculosis. His knowl-
edge of his chosen field
has been gained through
study in some of the
world's greatest univer-
sities, writes Ray Schrick,
'43, associate editor of
OLD OREGON.
IF there is such a thing asa perfect prototype of aMatson, '02, could certainly
qualify for the role. Direct . . .clear and clean-cut . . . square
jawed, his every appearance,even without the typical white
robe, gives hint of his chosenlife profession.
A physician, surgeon, and
teacher all rolled into one, he
is one of the nation's leading
authorities in his chosen field.
He lives in Portland, practices
in Portland, and at the same
time teaches at the University
of Oregon Medical school.
Dr. Matson has achieved his
success and national reputa-
tion through long, hard years
of study. He has "stored up"
knowledge ? today being put
to use in making the lives
of human beings more pleasant ? in
many of the outstanding universities of the
world. In addition to the University of
Oregon he attended Cambridge university;
University of Vienna; Academy of Medi-
cine, Dusseldorf; University of Paris, and
the University of Berlin.
Dr. Matson has never ceased to study
and even today is constantly seeking to
add to his knowledge of medicine and sur-
gery. After his extensive travels at home
as well as abroad, he reported two years
ago, that "our University Medical school,
while not the largest, is as fine as exists
anywhere."
In a special message addressed to Ore-
gon students, Dr. Matson once reported
that, "whereas at one time medical schools
were hardly more than 'diploma mills,' we
now have stringent basic requirements to
Page 4
enter the medical profession, whereby finer
doctors are being molded."
T HE Oregon doctor's greatest recogni-
of tuberculosis in which he has studied andspecialized. He has written numerous
articles on this subject which have been
widely commented upon. He is a formervice-president of the National Tuberculosis
association and in 1939 was elected presi-dent of the American College of Chest
Physicians. In addition to these honors,
Dr. Matson also has served as vice-presi-dent of the Pan-Pacific Surgical associa-
tion.
just as Dr. Matson was a good student,so he is considered by students of the Uni-
versity Medical school to be an excellentteacher. His encouragement and help has
aided* many young Oregon doctors along
the road to a medical career.
A trace of Dr. Matson's "philosophy ofyouth" is shown in this statement he wrote
for the University medical students two
rears ago:
"Any semblance of advice, cheer, orwarning that I could offer . . . would be
that success for you is in some still indeter-
minate range. . . . It is not hard to remem-ber . . . how easily one's visions of the
future may exceed the actuality. The vision
may be so much larger than the capacityfor fulfillment. But . . . part of them will
surely come true. And from the other partemerges the variegated fabrics of your
lives."
Dr. Matson was born at Brookville, Pa.Although he has had several opportunities
to practice medicine in larger fields, helikes the Northwest and Portland and
prefers to practice and study here.

Victory Was the Only Word
They Knew-Swim Champs
By JOE MILLER, *43
"Champs Again."
Thus did newspapers headline another story of Webfoot prowess
in the aquatic world. Splashing to their sixth Northern Division
championship was an easy task for Oregon's powerful "navy" under
the coaching of Commander H. S. "Mike" Hoyman, right. Here's
the story of how Webfoots took every first place in the Northern
Division meet as told by Joe Miller, Emerald sports writer.
NOBODY believed they could do it.. . . They were tabbed for the depths
had lost two of their top stars, Bob Irvinand Cub Callis, and the others couldn't
measure up to conference standards.
Thus, with practically every cardstacked against them, the 1942 Webfoot
swimmers opened the season. But the wisemen of the sports pages overlooked one
important point. It was Oregon spirit asmanifested by Coach H. S. "Mike" Hoy-
man and a fighting squad. Mike isn't aquitter. He'd coach to win even if there
were only a manager on the team. GerryHuestis and the "fighting sophs" weren't
quitters either. The combination was tospell doom for another set of prognostica-
tions and to produce one of the greatestswimming teams in Oregon history.
First Oregon State fell 62 to 13 and 56to 19. Still the wiseacres were skeptical.
"Wait until they meet Washington," theyscoffed.
When the Washington Huskies, toutedas the greatest team in the history of the
school, came to town Oregon swimmerswere 1 to 2 underdogs. Even as the sports-
men prepared to watch Oregon go down todefeat Coach Hoyman confidently drove
his boys through the meet. When the
M w
waters of the Men's pool had stoppedchurning the Oregon team had splashed
out a convincing 56 to 19 win over theamazed Huskies and an even more amazed
Dads' day crowd of nearly 550.
This practically established the Web-foots as favorites to take the Northern Di-
vision crown, but the skeptics looked to aplanned trip to California for fulfillment
of their prophecy of defeat. The Webfootswere given little chance to defeat Stanford,
usually the coast's swimming power andchamps of the Southern Division, much
less the highly touted San FranciscoOlympic club which was rated as one of
the best swimming aggregations in thenation.
ON the way the Webfoots stopped offSpartans, 52 to 23. Then over to Palo Alto
and the Stanford Redskins. Oregon'samazing sophs kept right on powerhousing
and emerged with a 49 to 25 victory.
Then to San Francisco for the expecteddefeat at the hands of the Olympic club
which hadn't been beaten in five years. TheOlympic club was loaded with ail-Amer-
ican swimmers. For the most part thematches were fairly even with the all-
Americans having slightly the better of it.
COACH OF CHAMPS ?Swim-
ming Coach H. S. "Mike" Hoyman,
'34, whose Webfoot paddlers again
annexed the Northern division
swimming crown, is shown here
with another championship group,
the 1935 swimmers.
The Aqua-Ducks trailed by six points go-ing into the last event. An inspired relay
team fired to a hard-earned win, giving theDucks 7 points and the meet, 38 to 37.
The night of February 28 in the Men'spool at Eugene with the Northern Division
title at stake, Oregon was finally installedas the favorite. For the first time all sea-
son the dopesters were right. The Web-foots swept EVERY first place to score
88 points, take the meet and the crown.Washington, the nearest opponent, had 30
points with OSC, Montana, WSC, andIdaho trailing pitifully to the rear.
In retrospect let us examine the teamand some of the records. There is plenty of
reason to think that the 1942 swimmingteam was among the best in the nation and
the greatest in Webfoot history.
1. Oregon won every first place in theNorthern Division meet. Xo other team
has ever done this.
2. The score was the greatest ever madeby any team in Northern Division compe-
tition.
3. It was the first time any team has evermade more points than all the others put
together.4. It was the fastest Northern Division
meet ever held.5. For the first time in five years the
Olympic club of San Francisco tasted de-feat. They had faced the best opposition
on the Coast and some of the best in thenation and had four all-American swim-
mers in the lineup.
6. San Francisco coaches who saw themeet termed it the best they had seen for
"as long as they could remember." News-papers called it "the best Bay region swim
test in years" and even the traditionallycritical San Fransico sportswriters were
generous in their praise of the Aqua-Ducks.
RATHER different from the song thatwas being sung at the first of the sea-
son. What was the reason? We have al-
ready given a hint?Oregon spirit and
Coach Mike Hoyman. Genial Mike stands
as just about the best swimming coach on
the coast and really knows how to handle
his boys. Too much of the credit cannot

'Did Not Hesitate to Turn Thumbs
Down on Presidents, Kings, Cats'
OSWALD Garrison Villard, well-known writer, author and journal-ist, and son of Henry Villard, early
University benefactor for whom Yillardhall is named, was honored on his 70th
birthday at an "unusually fine" testimonialdinner February 13 in New York City,
writes Alumnus John MacGregor, '23.Representatives of many walks of life, in-
cluding several prominent Universityalumni, were on hand to pay their respect
to one of America's "fightingest" editors.
A few of the high points in the many-sided career of the guest of honor were
told by George McAneny, former presi-dent of the New York City Board of Alder-
men; Robert E. MacAlarney, former cityeditor of the New York Evening Post;
Lewis Gannett, book critic of The NewYork Herald Tribune; Walter White, ex-
ecutive secretary of the National Associa-tion for the Advancement of Colored
People, of which Mr. Villard was a co-founder: Elinore M. Herrick, regional di-
rector. National Labor Relations Board,who told of Mr. Villard's activities in be-
half of women's suffrage; Carl Van Doren,author and former literary critic of The
Nation; H. L. Mencken, newspaper editorand author; Joseph Schlossberg, past sec-
retary-treasurer of the AmalgamatedClothing Workers of America, and Nor-
man Thomas.
The dinner was attended by around 300friends and former associates of the writer-
crusader. Telegrams of congratulationsfrom others unable to attend the meeting
were read by John Haynes Holmes, min-ister of the Community Church of New
York City, MacGregor reports.
Mr. Yillard was editor of The Nationfrom 1918 to 1932, a time when, in the
words of his associates, "every week'sissue was a new adventure and there was
exhilaration in fighting the whole wickedworld." Under his editorship The Nation
came to be known as the journalistic havenof the country and the liberal weekly
sought out and printed fresh news of"skullduggery in five continents" which
newspapers of the day refused to touch.
Mr. Villard, says The New York Times,is an idealist who has sought idealism in
others and has not hesitated to turnthumbs down on presidents, kings, or cats.
Even those whom Mr. Villard has opposed
have been willing to admit that he is afearless and able journalist who has been
a big force in shaping American publicopinion.
A pacifist even today, he nevertheless
hates the things for which Nazi Germanystands and believes that Hitler can never
win the war. In his speech at the dinnercelebration Mr. Villard pictured the sad
state of the world, but declared:

The name of Villard is well-known
wherever University men and women
meet, but it is the father, Henry Villard,

financial leader, railroad promoter and aman of keen intellectual interests, to whom
Oregon alumni owe their greatest debt.History records how the Northwest finan-
cial giant pulled the University out of itsgravest financial crisis shortly after the
institution was organized by assuming theoverburdening debts and by making an
outright contribution of $50,000 in bonds.
Intellectually minded, Henry Villard be-lieved in developing the educational as well
as the economic resources of the North-west and his generous donation to the
floundering University of Oregon is recog-nized as the first of any importance to
public higher education in Oregon. Whenhe visited the University shortly after
putting it back on its feet he was given arousing and enthusiastic reception. Villard
hall was named for him shortly thereafter.
Although most of his life has been spentin the east, Oswald Garrison Villard has
maintained an interest in the institutionwhich his father saved from creditors and
has visited the campus on several occa-sions. He was commencement speaker in
1935 and was given an enthusiastic re-sponse by the student body.
He holds an honorary LL.D. from theinstitution which was granted in recogni-

EDITORIAL FROM NEW YORKTIMES
Countless friends of Oswald Gar-rison Villard will be telling him today,
on the occasion of his seventieth birth-day, that though they don't always
agree with him they do have for himthe deepest admiration, respect and
affection. It has long been Mr. Vil-lard's lot to be disagreed with by his
loving friends. Following whereverhis conscience led, he has done a good
deal of disagreeing himself. An ideal-
ist, he has sought idealism in others,and has not hesitated to turn thumbs
down on Presidents, Kings, or catswhen they did not live up to his expec-
tations. Convinced that he was right,
he has been a thorn in the flesh formany of us at various times who were
just as firmly convinced that we wereright and he was wrong.
Mr. Villard's intellectual Tightnessor wrongness at a given moment, such
as 1916 or 1942, is for history to deter-
mine. What he has given us, for whichwe may be profoundly thankful, is the
spectacle of a brave man who did andsaid what he thought was right with-
out the least regard for his own selfish
interests. We cannot run a democracy
without such men and there are neverinto war with Nazi Germany, but
whole world who hates so vehemently

ant ports of the western world. His dutieshave taken him to Iceland, the Panama
Canal, Pearl Harbor, and most of theimportant ports on the East and West

Dear Old Oregon:
I fear you have overlooked the fact thatVictoria Case, '21, has become famous
since her two articles were published. I amenclosing clippings, from which you can
make your own story for OLD OREGON.(Ed: See story page 3).
Also for your information, RichardFowler Roberts, son of Loren C. Roberts,
'17, and Helen Robinson Roberts, '16,"died in the service" at San Diego, January
1, 1942.
I love to read of the news of the oldfriends in OLD OREGON. Success attend
your efforts in its behalf.
Anna Roberts Stephenson, '96
Elinor Fitch Griffin, '34
(Ed: This letter was sent to the alumnioffice by Mrs. Clara L- Fitch of the gradu-
ate division on the campus and containsexcerpts from highly interesting letters
describing Hawaii after the Japanese at-tack.)
Dear Roselind:
I am sending you some excerpts fromElinor's letters after the attack on Pearl
Harbor, and you can do what you like withthem. Perhaps they will be out of date by
the time your next OLD OREGON comesout.
Her "second post-war letter" as shecalled it, gave an account of a little of her
work with the children from the evacuatedareas to whom they opened the fine new
building for the pre-school work whichhad just been finished when the war ar-
rived. Elinor went to Hawaii in Septemberto train kindergarten teachers at the Uni-
versity of Hawaii."The little evacuated children were in-
teresting. The first day they said to me"What shall we paint?" and when I said,
"Paint anything you like" they seemed sortof stopped, so I said "Paint About Christ-
mas." Then came forth a lot of conven-tional trees, etc. The second day they came
in and without any conversation startedto work in a business-like way, and pictures
of bombs, airplanes, fires, and so on came
forth in great quantities. That had loosenedthem up, and they were creatively pro-
ductive all the time they were with me, sothat I was kept busy providing materials.
It was a needed outlet.
"These were the children from the navalhousing units that received the brunt of the
attack in civilian areas. They were fromabout 18 months to about ten or twelve
years old. After the mornings we took
them back, carrying the littlest ones in ourarms so we could step over the trenches
on the campus, to Tenenway Hall, wherethe families were all living, and delivering
them to whatever mattress represented
home. Or we ate with them in the cafe-teria when, as often happened, the mothers
were off at Pearl Harbor looking for newsof their husbands."
(Excerpts from the third post-war let-ter)
"Though school is out I still seem to be
busy nearly every minute of every day.As soon as the refugees went, either to the
mainland or home, we plunged into the jobof enumerating Oahu residents. Each per-
son had to be finger-printed, and a crew ofus went out to the homes to interview them

first?get the names of all the people ofthe family and their heights, weights, iden-
tifying marks people to notify in case ofaccident, jobs, training, etc. It was fasci-
nating work. I took some notes, hopingmaybe I might get time for a little article,
but I never did."We worked in pairs, finishing just in
time to get off the streets by six, as every-one has to do. My partner, a Chinese girl,
and I enumerated over a thousand Hono-lulans and now we are all going out to
Waialua to interview rural residents. Ittakes about an hour on our chartered bus;
we pass Pearl Harbor and see Wheeler airfield and the pineapple and sugar fields.
Waialua is on the west coast of Oahu andis a plantation town.
"In Honolulu we had all kinds of people
and all kinds of combinations. We learnedto estimate the number in the family by
counting the sandals at the doors of Jap-anese homes, how to begin with the oldest
member and proceed downward in Chinese
homes?also how to reverse their names?and we learned to write without batting
an eye such names as Carmen UlulaniChang, or spell Kahaleanuuloakealani for
the middle name.
"Aside from blackouts, six to six, and
gas masks, and trench digging, etc. there'snothing new that concerns me. Of course
each day something' new in the line of de-
fense comes up and we hear things. TheHawaiians are all having luaus (feasts) be-
cause if you dig a hole you have to killan animal or you are digging your own
grave. So they kill a pig and wrap it intaro leaves and roast it in the air-raid hole
with hot stones next to it."
Bellinger at Yokahama
Jack Bellinger, '33, until recently on thehtafl of the Japan Times and Advertiser,
is at Yokahama interned but in good healthand in no danger, according to word re-
ceived from the state department by hismother, Mrs. Emma Bellinger of Lebanon.
The telegram received by Mrs. Bellingerwas signed by Secretary of State Hull and
came through the Swiss legation at Tokyo.
In a letter to Old Oregon Mrs. Bellingersays that the Oregon alum left Yokahama
December 1 for America, but that the boatturned back after war was declared. The
boat was due at Los Angeles December14, but did not reach port. The first word
Mrs. Bellinger had of her son was thetelegram on February 1. Newspaper lists
published shortly thereafter also listedJack Bellinger as among the Americans
interned in Japan.
"I am sure he was very disappointedwhen he learned war had been declared
and he would have to return to Japan. Iam hoping the diplomats will be exchanged
and that the nationals will be too. Jackstayed a week too long, but I do hope he
will get to come home," Mrs. Bellingerwrote.

But whenever I raise the hood

do it for me.
And they'll do
it for you, too,
if you just utter the simple
words, "Stop-Wear! Lubrica-

* * *
For Stop-Wear is no ordinary
"grease job." Far from it. For
one thing, it's guaranteed in
writing 1000 miles against
faulty chassis lubrication. Be-
sides you don't have to keep
track of your mileage, the Min-
ute Men do it for you ? even the
3000 and 5000 mile checkups
are automatically called to your
attention.
* * *
And even though they use fac-
tory specifications, 9 different
lubricants, and a whole bench
full of special tools, the big
thing to we is ?they check all
the mysterious things that worry
me?fan belts, battery cables
and terminals, spark plugs,
wheel bearings, and that sort of
thing.
* * *
Ik- LA- So, give upyour nail bit-

and let the

car Stop-Wear Lubrication, too.
For the Minute Men give you "Ex-
