Politics Not as Usual
AT a gathering of ieadors oi a
major political party, the cry
went up, "Win the war, yes, but
politics us usual." You could see
them trampling each other In a
scramble lor the pic counter, and
running like mad to catch the
gravy train., Of . course, some
stalwarts of the other party also
show more concern over keeping
Cotisirt Katie on the public pay
roil than they do about driving to
victory.
Politics, yes, but not politics as
usual. This country and all her
citizens must have shirt sleeves
rolled up now for only one Job
winning the war. Any Interfer
ence from any source, clique,
group or special Interest cannot
be tolerated.
There . will , be primaries this
.spring and summer and elections
this fall as usual. No one has ar
gued seriously otherwise. Abra
ham Lincoln ran for liis second
term during sotne bitter days of
ilie Civil war. Woodrow Wilson
took Ills case to the country in
the congressional elections of
1018.. , r
Elections arid billot- IpollllcaT
wrangling, however, are two dif
ferent things. France played
politics as usual light lip until
na.i boots gooscstopped under the
Arc do Triomphe. Cabinet minis
tors, deputies and bureaucrats
thotight it more vital to lambast
political opponents and thus di
vide the country further than to
unite the army and the people to
save the republic,
j Unfortunately, evidence exists
that some of our tub-thumping
statesmen would follow the
same disastrous route us did the
French. Some of them seem
dead set on nn old-time, knock
down political fight as if there
were nothing greater at stake
than election of an alderman
.from the third ward.
The people will elect those they
believe will do the most to finish
the Job so well started by Mac
Arlhur and others. The only con
sideration Is which candidate has
done or will do (lie most to hast
en the day of victory. It Is war
for and by Americans of every
race, color, creed and party or
no party.
Patriots
, IT'S the Utile contributions, the
almost Insignificant efrorls
that add up to victory. Wo need
the big bond purchases, the head
lined war efforts, hut the small,
unsung, unno'.icen co opcrulion of
everyone is what will win this
war.
Two workingnion skiuI their
lunch hour peeling tinfoil off
empty clgaret packages, insignifi
cant? Child's play?
Perhaps. They went without
lunch, or hurried through to save
that Unroll Tor war. They, and
all the men they work with, lake
lime to walk to a special box to
pave those empty cigarct pack
Hges.
Don't let anyone toll you those
men saving tinfoil aren't helping
light the bnt lie or the Atlantic
and th? Pacific.

with a tremendous object lesson
In elementary economics.
It is teaching us that in waging

AT.jM-HE
WASHINGTON, D. ,C, April 2
There has developed an unusu
al angle on the war in the hearts
of a congressional committee
which shows that while the Unit
ed States has muffed some im
portant matters, a large share of
ed by the American people can be
laid at the doors of the British.
It Is the over-confidence of the
British that today has affected ev
ery automobile dealer and tire
salesrnan; too much complacency
now threatens to limit the fruit,
vegetable and fish canneries to
one year's supply of tin to ctretch
over five years.
Here is wha the congressional I
committee uncovered: Jesse I
Jones has been kicked around for !
not buying more natural rubber i
and for not starting the manufac-!
ture of synthetic two years ago ,
when it was advised by the war :
Industrie : board. President 1
Roosevelt did not feel that syn
thetic rubber should be attempted j
on a large scale; the president !
took the word of the British that
the natural rubber of Malaya and i
tne uutcn fc.ast Indies would al
ways be available." About 98 per
cent of the tin used in the United
j States comes from the interna
i tional tin committee, which is
j British controlled and handles
j markets and smelting. The com
I mittee has opposed any smelter
1 in the United Slates and up to the
1 present has been successful.
: There would always be tin, all
I that America requires, assured
I the international tin committee,
t for there was an unlimited sup
, ply in Malaya. Well?
i Cost of Over-Confidence
1 The British gave eveiy assur
ance and guarantee that the
Dutch East Indies and that rub
; ber-tin region was immune from
invasion. It was asserted that
j the Japanese could never get to
j first base; that Singapore was in
; vulnerable. It develops that the
; United States relied upon these
! guarantees and did not stock up
I with tin and robber more than
sufficient to play a little safe. The
British did not stockpile at all;
they knew that rubber and tin
would be available from Malaya
when wanted. Came the Japan
ese, and the British were loath to
destroy the rubber trees; to burn
the tons of crude rubber on tiie
j wharves or dispose of the tin.
And from the limited supply of
rubber and tin now in the United
States this country is charing
these essential commodities' with
the British, who were not as far
sighted as Uncle Sam and Uncle
Sam was not far-sighted enough
jThe congressional . committee
made out a complete case and
placed the destruction ot the auto
and tire business and the worries
of the canners on the conviction
of the British that Japan could
never take the Far East.
More Wood For Planes
Another contest is being staged
between steel and wood over a
proposed big airplane factory, lo
cation of which cannot be reveal
ed. It is estimated that 20,000
tons ot very desirable steel will
be needed to construct this in
the ordinary manner and that the
period of construction would be
one year or more and the cost ab
normally high. The wood beams,
pillars, trusses, etc., If used in
this structure, figure at about
30.000.000 board feet; the wood
building could be erected for oc
cupancy within six months and
the cost would be materially un
der the cost of a steel structure.
Whether the appeal for steel in
naval vessels, cargo ships, bombs,
shells, etc., will be sufficiently
strong to save this 20,000 tons of
steel for essentially war purpos
es remains to be seen. v
There is an extensive program
for army air baes in the north
west, with more in blueprint.
Wood trusses for hangars on
these airfields ' have been urged
instead of steel. At first it was
argued that timber is more in
flammable and that nn wood was
wanted around a hangar which
might be bombed. The wood ad
vocates assert that a fire of mag
nitude would warp and ruin a
steel structure whereas the heavy
timlors used in wood trussf and
other dimension members would
merely char on the outside in
stead of collapse in an ordinary
fire.
The lumber Industry has to
fight for everything it gets in
this war eftort. Wood lifeboats,
urged by the northwest, are still
rejected. The authorities hold
tenaciously for light sheet steel
boats, asserting that a wood boat
splinters under shell fire, is diffi
cult to repair and unless kept fill
ed with water while on deck will
leak w hen suddenly lowered Into
the sea.
Letterrtien's Dance to
Feature "Whiskerino"
The animal Lettermcn's club
dance Is to be held at Roseburg
high school April 10 with a new
DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
On a hill far away stood an old
rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and
shame.
And I love that old cross
where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was
slain.
Oh that old rugged cross, so
despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for
me.
For the dear Lamb of God left
His glory above,
To bear it to dark calvary.
In the old rugged cross stained
with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see:
For 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will
ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly
bear;
Then He'll call me some day
to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll
share.
Chorus:
So I'll cherish the old rugged
cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay
down;
I will cling to the old rugged
cross,
And exchange it some day for
a crown.
Amen. (Rev. George Bernard)
innovation being tried out this
year. The lcttermen have plan
ned to have a "Whiskerino as a
new feature of their dance. " All
boys in school have been forbid
den to shave from March 30 to
April 10. All violators of this
rule are to provide entertainment
in the assembly the final day. At
ready several fine beards have
been grown and interest is keen
in this new feature. Several
prizes are to be awarded at the
dance for the best beards. As is
customary only student body
members are allowed to attend
the dance. The lettermcn's dance
is always one of the high spots
of the spring entertainment sea
son at the local high school.
