Best Forget the Future for .
The Present
IF WE had started this war, if
we had sent over a sneak fleet
and bombed Tokyo and wiped out
a considerable portion of the Jap
navy we could doubtless do some
calculating about how long the
war might last and wc might also
start making some plans for "aft
er the war." Surely we would not
start such a conflict unless wc
had thought It through to the end,
knew we would win, and about
when. Otherwise It would be hor
rible folly to make the plunge in.
to awful uncertainty.
We did not, however, start the
scrap. The Japs did. We would
be foolish indeed to assume that
a bunch of Japanese simply went
nutty and began shooting guns.
This is a carefully planned war
begun and aggressively waged by
the little yellow men. They feel
pretty certain they will win that
they will bring the white folks to
their knees that they will write
lind sign the peace treaty In
Washington, D. C, as they have
boasted. They feel that way now
because they have It all planned
out. They feel that wny or this
conflict would never have bcenj
startea Dy inem.
The horrible thought is, they
could be right in their deductions.
We doubt it but there is always
the possibility.
Wc must quit planning and
talking about "after the war" and
get busy and do the jobs neces
sary to win. There is entirely too
much scheming and Jockeying for
position for the peace boom that
supposedly will follow the war.
That is foolish and baslcly de
structive to the war effort. There
Is the old yarn about the race be
tween the hare and the tortoise,
you know.
Certainly we will win. Certain
ly we will drive the Japs back to
their islands and keep them there,
forever eliminating them as a
world power. That must be done.
Failure to do it means slavery for
US . . . slavery for us with Jap
masters. There is no other an
swer. But we can't win If necessary
war work Is hampered by short
sighted selfish people who at
tempt to better themselves re
gardless. This goes for employers,
employees and ordinary unclassi
fied citizens. We can't win if wc
spend too much time and effort
planning for "after the war." This
fight may last a generation. No
one knows. Let's stop thinking
and talking about "after the war,"
and everybody get clown to busi
nessthe business of fighting the
war. .

short by a sudden German attack
from Greece and Crete.
BOSSIBLE, but not certain. They
may be slipping HEAVY rein
forcements into Egypt, hoping by
a show of weakness to trap Rom
mel into attacking with what ho
has and blasting him with an un
cxpected concentration of
strength.
IAP activity In the Islands north
T of Australia continues. Along
with COUNTER activity by our
side.
Jap planes have raided ns far
south as Townsville, on the north
east const of Australia some 800
miles northeast of Brisbane. This
is the Japs' farthest south Aus
tralian raid.
Allied planes continue to pound
the Japs at Buna, scene of their
lsttest landing In New Guinea. Al
lied land patrols' crass the Pap-
uan peninsula .from. Port Mores
by, and skirmish hand to hand
with the Buna Japs.
Allied planes raid Bougainville
and Buka Islands, in the Solomon
group. Both these Islands front on
the Buka ship passage, the main
shipping route from Japan to
eastern Australia. , i f
THE Japs may be cooking up a
new assault on Australia.
Also they may be trying to dl
vert attention from a proposed
full-scale attack on Siberia, or on
Dutch Harbor.
In warfare, as in football, fake
plays always have to be expected
and prepared against.
CIX weeks ago the Chinese re-
ported heavy Jap concentra
tions in Manchukuo and predicted
that a Japanese attack on Si
beria was expected some time in
July. Military authorities in Lon
don have since confirmed exten
sive Jap preparations for a move
in ioree on Siberia.
The Japs have been strangely
quiet for a long time, suggesting
that they are getting ready for
something big.
TROUBLE seems to be Impend
inrt In Tn.H.,
..ft ,tv.it.
Sir Stafford Cripps, referring
obviously to Gandhi, says in a
broadcast today: "We can't allow
the actions of a visionary, how
ever distinguished in the fight
for freedom in the past, to thwart
the United Nations fight for free
dom In the East."
The broadcast is directed ES-
PECrALLY, the. dispatches re
port, toward the United States. It
sounds as If Sir Stafford may be
preparing US for some sort of de
cisive action on the part of the
British In India.
r ANDHI'S status as a vision
ary ftiny be judge! by this
statement made by hin recently
in his newspaper:
"India should be relieved of all
British taxes, authority and finan
cial obligations so she will be
free to start her new national life
with NON-VIOLENCE as its
PREDOMINANT sanction.
"Non-violence will express It
self in India by sending ambassa
dors to the axis countries not to
beg for peace but to SHOW
THEM THE FUTILITY OF
WAR."
F YOU cart ImaRlne Hitler, Mus
iiojnj, Hlrohlto ct al listening
to Gandhi's non violence ambassa
dors and becoming convinced that
war is futile, you'd better start
wearing a sheet and eating car
rots along with the Mahatma.

Concerning the
NORTHWEST
As Viewed at the
National Capitol
By
John W. Kelly
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 29.
Like manna from heaven will
be the bill authorizing Recon
struction Finance corporation to
make loans to pleasure resorts
that are now slowly starving tb
death for want of patronage. Al
though Introduced by Senator
McNary at the instance of the
Oregon Resort association, re
sorts from all parts of the United
States are swinging behind the
measure as they recognze the bill
as a lifesaver.
It Is roughly estimated that $40,
000,000 has been Invested in re
sorts along the beaches of Wash
ington and Oregon and possibly
as much more in the mountains
of the northwest. The life savings
of many people have gone Into
resorts at warm springs, dude
ranches, fishing resorts, beach
hotels and into stores catering
to vacationists. Most of these
enterprises can only be reached
by automobile, private convey
ances not common carriers
and with the shortage of tires
the visitors are not coming In. It
is bad this year, and it is known
that conditions for these resorts
will be worse next year when
the real pinch of tires develops.
Today most of the resorts re
port that their business has drop
ped 50 per cent of the dollar value
of 1941;, many report an even
greater reduction; none of them
look forward to improved con
ditions in 1943, or possibly two or
three years thereafter. Along the
coast it is said occupancy is 10 to
15 per cent, compared to 70 to
80 per cent last year. The struggle
is so tough that a few resort
managers have locked up and
moved to the cities. Where there
is bus service, or places reached
by railroad, conditions are better,
but not much.
This relief bill permits RFC to
make loans to wipe out mortgages
up to 73 per cent of the valuation
of the property. The loan would
run for two years .beyond the
duration, with no payments due
or payable during such period.
With the RFC loan the borrower
must wipe out the mortgage on
the place and must keep up tax
es, keep property in repair and
carry war damage insurance.
RFC is protected in every way
and the owner of the resort is re
lieved of his mortgage and
given a chance to live. In a fash
ion, the idea is somewhat similar
to the HOLC, which loaned three
billion dollars to save homeown
ers from losing their property by
foreclosure. (HOLC says that its
clients in Washington, Oregon
and California lead the country
in repayments on loans; that few
er foreclosures have been made
In those states than elsewhere).
Small Packer Aid Eyed
As this bill is intended to throw
out a lifeline to distressed pleas
ure resorts, the office of product
ion management and the depart
ment of agriculture are studying
how to save the small packer
Irom extinction. There is no
celling on livestock but there
is on processed meat, The
man caught in this squeeze
is the small packer who, un
like the large packers, has no
contract with the federal govern
ment to sell meat for the lend
lease program. Retail prices are
said to be several per cent higher
than a year ago. The small pack
ers have been appealing for help,
and while they have been asking
for relief a meat shortage has de
veloped almost over night. (Not
advertised, but certain packers
have been rationing the retailers,
delivering so much a day).
OPA and agriculture depart
ment are studying two methods
of aiding the small packers. One
is for the government to buy the
livestock, pay the packer a fee for
processing it and then take the
meat. The other proposal under
consideration is for the govern
ment to buy 75 per cent of the
product of the small packers at
the same price paid the big pack
ers for lend-lease goods. Each
plan is, essentially, a subsidy. If
the latter is adopted the govern
ment will re-sell the meat at lend
lease prices to retailers who sell
to civilians, the .government ab
sorbing the loss.
"Secret Weapon" Bows
Three new naval aviation stat
ions will be located, one each in
Washington and Oregon, and an
other for Alaska, according to
provisions of a bill now In the
senate. This is part of a program
so secretive that not a scrap of
testimony on the subject was pub
lished in the house naval affairs
committee hearings, nor was
even a memorandum retained for
the confidential tiles. House mem
bers voted for the appropriation
without question and strictly on
faith. It is part of the program
for use of a "secret weapon"
against the Japanese. The senate

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
A story is told of a famous
clown who had been working
too hard and long at his fun
making profession, until his
strength was seriously deplet
ed, and he was depressed in
body and spirit. In his despera
tion he consulted a physician.
After a careful examination
and listening to his patient's
symptoms, the doctor said, I'll
tell you what you do. You go
down to the circus tonight and
see the clown. He will do you
more good than all my medi
cines. Bur the poor man shook
his head, and turned away sad
ly, saying "I am that clown."
Too often we are told to seek
a cure or to find some feverish
amusement, when it Is really
rest we need, the right kind of
rest. I conducted the funeral of
a clown some years ago. He
had been a clown for forty-two
years. His task in life had been
to make people happy. He
came to the end of the day at
his task, and between the aft
ernoon and evening perform
ances, a memorial was held for
him. Jesus has summed up
the cure for our wornout
bodies. "Come unto Me," and I
will give you rest. If we come,
we can be assured of rest to
our souls. The empty reser
voirs will be filled, the droop
ing spirits will lift; the joy of
salvation will be restored.
Wise is the man who knows
where his strength lies and
where rest may be found.
Amen.
will pass the bill, as did the house,
with a "hear nothing, see nothing,
say nothing" gesture.
Design for a rationing stamp
somewhat similar to that for
sugar, has been prepared by WPB
for woolen clothing and shoes.
No rationing of clothing will come
for some time, but when the mo
ment arrives the announcement
will come with shocking sudden
ness. Uppers of shoes will be
good leather, but soles will be
thin, all better grades of sole
leather going into shoes for sold
iers, while civilian shoes will have
to be re soled repeatedly.
Gasoline Sales Cut to
Slash Oregon's Revenue
McMINNVILLE, July 29 (AP)
Oregon is in excellent condition
to withstand effects of the in
creasing national debt and its
own falling revenues, State
Treasurer Leslie M. , Scott told
the chamber of commerce here.
He warned, however, thafnew
indebtedness must not be incurr
ed.
Through the depression and
subsequent years Oregon's net
public debt was reduced from
$186,000,000 in 1930 to $95,000,
000 this year. The state debt,
which was $60,000,000 in 1930,
will be $15,000,000 by 1947, he
said. ,
A critical revenue loss is fore
seen in the falling off of gasoline
sales. The state's gasoline tax
revenue since June has shrunk
11 per cent from the 1941 figure.
Scott said, and by September the
shrinkage will amount to 30 per
cent. Next year, if the war con
tinues, it is estimated that the
revenue will be down 40 per cent
and in 1944 it will be at 65 per

Praise, Swats
By JAMES E. HAGUE
BALTIMORE, July 29. (AP)
McDougle (Professor Ivan E.)
really started something.
The Goucher college professor
said recently, if you remember:
"The only way we can main
tain our present standard of liv
ing is by putting our wives
to'work." He also said something
about "parasites" and about life
being "so damned easy" for wo
men these days.
For those words he's been lam
basted, and glorified in scores of
pros and cons from all over the
country.
Mrs. H. D. Ball, of Miami
Fla., seconded the professor's mft
tion, saying "with prices goin);
up why in thunder must I knuckle
down under the old fashioned
idea that I must stay home and
scrub, wash and iron?"
Apparently Mr. Ball doesn't see
eye to eye with his wife for her
letter asks also what she can do
about "an old fashioned husband,
age 35?" ;
Chief Yeomen G. A. McLane, of
the Oklahoma City naval recruit
ing station got aboard the Mc
Dougle bandwagon with:
"There's a catch to it some
where. Either there isn't any
Professor McDougle and no
Goucher college or If there Is, I
can't believe what the newspapers
said you believed. Because I, a
poor average citizen, have believ
ed it all my life but have been
regularly shushed and called tit
nrtind my manners." B
He complained bitterly about
gadgets which do the work for
the missus, leaving her as fresh
as a daisy and "ready to drag
your quaking carcass off to some
midnight shindig."
On the other side of the picture
was a woman who saw "deter
mination and arrogance" in the
professor's face. Others chided
him as untrue to his mother.
