Sound Defense Or Pressure?
"ANNOUNCEMENT was made
" yestcrdny from Washington,
t. C, that the army Is looklnR to
.1lio posslblo expansion ot the
.'number of troops and has select
;cd a number of sites for large new
'cantonments. Oregon canton
ments, rach to have 35,000 men
are designated for Eugene und
Mcdford.
Inasmuch as rumors concern
ing the possibility of at least one
large cantonment In Oregon
'south of Portland have been
floating around for some time It
Is not surprising the announce
orient Is finally made. What Is
surprising Is the fact that areas
near the two cities mentioned ap
pear to be selected and appar
ently without adequate Investiga
tion of other arens including
our own.
In fact it seems to the layman
that there are some mighty com
pelling reasons why an urea In
the vicinity of Hoscburg should
be considered for such a troop
concentration.' This city Is the
nearest Inland city to, and equal
in distance from, three harbors
Coos Bay, fort Umpquu and
Bandon. This city Is almost ex
actly half way between the troop
concentrations In the San Fran
cisco Hay urea and Fort Lewis
or Camp Murray. This city has
a direct road connection cast
through the Cascades via the
North ilmpqua river. The cli
mate here Is better than nt Mod
ford -this can be proven by U.
S. weather bureau figures. It
is, we think, belter than the Will
amette valley climate t h 0 u g h
that Is hard to prove since there
is no weather olflee nt Eugene.
The Itosohurg chamber of com
merce has submitted data to the
war department selling forth
these mill other facts and has
simply asked that consideration
be given. No paid advocates are
to be employed and sent to Wash
ington or tu the headquarters nf
(he Dili corps area command. If
the site suggested here is suitable
land If (his would he the proper
place for such a troop conccntra
Hon In line with the nrmy's
plans for l'acitic coast defense
then the cantonment should be
located here, regardless. No oth
er factors should be considered.
Whether such a cantonment
would help or harm our common )
lly or our county in a nusincss
way has nothing to do with the
basic and essential problem - the
defense of the United Stales
from attack by any enemy.

the flight- no bad, under the
circumslances.
lfilY did he choose Scotland?
Presumahly b e e a u s e a I r
flgliling over Scotland is relative
ly scarce, thus giving him a bel
ter chance to get through. At
least that presumption seems lo
make sense.
II doesn't sound like the act
of a crazy man.
WHY did he choose the lirllish
Isles?
One guesses, necessarily. Kill
(wo answers suggest themselves:
I. Me wauled to TALK TO
THE IJItlTISII.
'i. He Inn! to gel away and he
knew I hill In Britain he would
be safer from the German secret
police than elsewhere.
AND vhy did he leave Or
many? The natural conclusion la that
he had to heat a firing squad.
Firing squads and blood purges
PlIllSHllVAisoJcilTIM
arc Inevitable accompaniments of
dictator government.
If the No. 3 nazi had to beat a
firing squad out of the country,
all Isn't smooth and placid In
nazi Germany.
That thought worries the Ger
mans, and their propaganda bu
reau In Berlin gives out repeat
edly today (Tuesday) the state
ment that Hess' spectacular ad
venture Is NOT a surface Indi
cation of something WRONG
deeper down In the party.
Their insistence that this isn't
true suggests that it IS true.
SUPPOSE you were Hitler.
Cmrn irn,ir l-inht Han.l m n n
.juppw.. fe" ""'in ,wt.t,
who had been with you from the
beginning, who knew ALL your
Inside stuff, had gone suddenly
over to the enemy, cither In a
huff or In deadly fear of his
life.
You'd be WORRIED.
You can bet your bottom dol
lar HITLER is worried.
ALL these are guesses.
Because of propaganda and cen
sorship, we can't believe cither
the British or the Germans.
The Germans will do all they
can to cover up and the British
will do all they can to make it
look good for their side. All we
can do Is gucsss.
NOTE that the stock markets
York WENT UP today. That
shows how the general public is
guessing.
