This la a ' fundamental principle of demo cratic government. T'HERE Is no sense In swoon- Ing Into a great state of panic , because of- the rather high per centage of rejections In the draft calls. Considerable more study, i and especially comparative study, needs to be given the figures be fore we need conclude that young America has declined Into a atate of decrepitude. That Is not to say that "all's right with the world," or that the health of youth is all it should be. It isn't, and It never will be. There Is plenty of room for Im provement. There arc a great many rejec tions for failure to meet the rath er high standards the miliary services have set. In some cases It has run as high as 23 per tent. Off hand, that looks bad. It looks worse than in 191718. But is It? .. Isn't it Just possible that stand ards are higher now? Certainly the necessity for raising a huge army Immediately is not as great. The standard can be, and prob- ably Is, somewhat higher. X-ray and other laboratory examining methods and techniques are Im proved, and probably catch a higher percentage of defects, many of which were formerly overlooked. Further, plenty of men with flat feet or a slight shortage of . perfectly-matched teeth, are reasonably healthy In spite of that. The Vichy government In France Is now adding poor phys ical health of Frenchmen to the many already-revealed causes of France's downfall. It is point ing out that for many years mor tality in France never got below IS per 1000, compared to 12 lit Kngland, 11 in Germany, and 10 In the Scandinavian countries. Well, in the the United Slates lat est figures are beween 10 and 11. French rejections for military service In 1934-35 were alxiut 20 er cent. In the United States ; It Is questionable whether, over the whole country, It will prove o high, especially If you would consider nearly a million volun teers, already in service who do not show up In the draft fig ures. Further, the need for a great nmss land army is not nearly as fre.ij here as In France, and there seems no doubt at all that by lowering standards only slightly a great many now bclne refected could be passed, and still make excellent soldiers. We have not as yet produced a race of men capable of passing 100 per cent the rather siceiali. rd requirements of the military. But it Is not wise to Jump from that to the conclusion that the national health Is not sound, when there Is excellent evidence I that It Is the best ever. All of which does not minimize ; In the slightest our Job, which ' Is to make It still belter. Editorial on New (Coitlatwd (ram pm 1.) ships of nil kinds currying sup i plies to England. It will be wag ed with submarines, airplanes, surface raiders and whatever other wcuiwns the axis may find useful. Its purpose will be to prevent supplies iiom reaching the Brit ' lilt. If It begins lo succeed, our purpose will have to be to break, it up. That Is where the navy will come in. OTHER ripples from the lease lonri hill. Yosukc Matsuoka, Japanese foreign minister, leaves for Ber lin and Rome VIA MOSCOW for Important talks with Hitler and Mussolini (and possibly Stalin en route.) Berlin says the purpose of this visit Is to plan counter actions to the lease-lend aid to be given Britain. Gayda mutters darkly Into his beard: "We're preparing many disagreeable surprises In the Pa cific for England and the United States." A SAM, Japanese newspaper, "The lease-lend bill nearer to war. The will be a trade of is a step first step American destroyers for heavy capital British ships which the United States can send into Far Eastern waters against Japan to aid Generalissimo Chiang Kai- Shek more aggressively." The Rome newspaper La Tri- buna (government - controlled) says: Matsuoka's trip is the im mediate answer to Washington's threatening move. Yesterday America spoke. Soon Japan will say her word. Jap Rear Admiral Gumpel Se- kine defines Japan's "co-prosperity sphere" In Asia as Including India, Australia and the Philip pines. A LL this Is TALK-inlended to bluff us out of effective help to Britain. It won't be talk, however, that will drag us into war. It will be DEEDS. If the axis triplets want i open war with us, they will go ahead with deeds. If not, they will merely talk. It is their move. Transporting Of Pupils Unchanged The action of the Wilbur and Winchester school districts In voting to dissolve the Wilbur union high school district will not necessarily mean that students will be transported to Roseburg next year, Mrs. Lula C.

Slowly and palnfullv she is trying to pick up the shreds of her shattered national life. Perhaps the most remarkable change her new government is ordaining Is the Introduc tion of a puritan wav of life -niilnet offlcei-s have been appointed whose first and principal duty is to attack the evils of the liquor traffic marital laxity and divorce, lewdness in the theater, com mercialled vhv. and all forms of srir indulgence, ll.n i work, sobriety, moral earnestness, and religions observance a.e being preached ns the mves sary means to a revival n, French stivngth and dignity. Especially is the new order to be applied to youth. Then- is no more than regimentation for a fascist society In all this. Behind It lies the recognition, born of catastrophe, that nvir al laxity prmtuivs a sort of softness which is as suicidal for nations as for men. France had to pay a bitter tee lo learn this lesson.

J Inquiries About North Umpqua Region Pouring In Forestry Office It Besieged For Information Following Magazine Story by Winch The office of the Umpqua Na tional forest resembles a cham ber of commerce headquarters as a result of numerous Inquiries received for Information on weather, hunting, fishing and oilier recreational resources, ac cording to V. V. Harpham, forest supervisor. The great flood of Inquiries was the result of an article ap pearing recently In the service !

The articles by i Mr. Winch suggested letters to I he 'forest service and also the chamber of commerce, and both have received inquiries from all Z ',?,.."! ""V m"'-v p;lr' A young lady In Torrance. Calif., wants to know, "is it ad vlsahle to bring my brother's gun with me In case wildcats, cougars or bears should run Into me. or do they mind their own business?" She also asks wheth er wild animals make hiking tin sa le. .She Is assured in the reply by Mr. Harpham that while there is plenty of big game in the na- Itional forest they "tend to their imvn business UN) pfr cent," and lh'1' "" K"n is "cccssary or is : there any danger. Inquirers parttciilaiiy desire Informal ion upon the kind: of fishing available, the seasons on fishing, the species of fish to lie caught, etc. Nearly all communi cations ask for information on available accommodations. Hunt ing information also is sought as well as weather information. (Questions also are asked aOout wild flowers, hiking and riding facilities, principal scenic fea tures, elr. The forest service has prepar ed a circular letter to supply gen eral Information and at the same time Is giving a personal infor mation containing specific an swers lo all questions, and enclos ing illustrated folders, maps, weather statist ios. and other In formation which it is believed w'U he of interest to prospective isitors.

Don't let any of us overlook the fact that plans seem to be laid to bring this na tion tinder British rule, and all that is hindering now is a state of war so that the purpose can be accomplished. The following paragraph Is worth our attention: "In 1914-17 the British empire fought to crush Kaiserism and to 'save the world for democracy' and picked up 931,9.r)0 square miles of terri tory In doing it. That piece of real estate is 25 times the size of Czechoslovakia and six times the size of Poland." L.ct s not forget "We who are American-minded believe that we fulfilled the purposes of the founding of our government and also serve humanity best, by taking care of the people of the United States. We believe- that in this international fracas the choice of action is between serv ing our country or serving some other country. Loyal Americans have no difficulty in making a choice." Let any one who docs not be lieve what I write about the Brit ish plan regarding ,our nation read in the Congressional Record "Remarks of Han J. Thorkel son of Montana" on "Steps To ward British Union, a World State and International Strife." We of the United States of America do not or should not want war. The harvest of the last war was hate, sorrowing hearts, broken and suffering bodies and fields of graves of our bens. MRS. EMMA P. WOODS.
