i Those hot August days, so common to the Pacific North
West, are on us, and day after day the mercury moves up
pas;t the 90 al)oye mark, and the nights are not as cool as
many would wish them. ..-'.

It is the time or the year to be careful. ; , , ',.,
Here, in Union and Wallowa counties, whicti are so rich; in
mber and summer playgrounds, hundreds of parties,o
(ampers and fishermen are in the hills every day.- Many of
hem smoke and most of them find occasion to build fife's

Forest fires cannot be entirely avoided, at least not as

'greatly minimized by exarciaing.a reasonable amount of care.
ST, LAWRENCE WATERWAY OBSTACLES
, It is becoming evident that the St. Lawrence waterway
.treaty faces a fight in the senate. Whether the fight can
be serious enough to defeat ratification is not yet clear;' but
before it Comes to a head, it would be wise for all of us to
take a good look at things and see just what all the shooting
; is about. ' '
So far, the chief opposition seems to come front those who
,'fear that the treaty will prevent construction of the lakes-to-
. the-gulf waterways.
, ' This js a plan whereby Chicago would get direct water
connections with New Orleans. It is an excellent plan ; it
would provide the middle west with still another outletito.
tfsalt water, it would stimulate the entire Mississippi basin
and it would be of vast help to industries in the Chicago area'.
I But it would be a disastrous mistake to assume that we
biust take a choice between the two waterways. It is not a
case 6f having one or the other. The Matter of Water diver
sion from Lake Michigan additional water must be sent
f "uphill" via the Chicago river if the gulf waterway is to fie'
(Constructed need not be a stumbling block. If both sides
are willing to make concessions, this point can be settled
without much difficulty. i' j I
f Then there is the water power issue; and this, too, is not '
ja thing that need balk the treaty. What to do with the power i
generated as a by-product of the St. Lawrence waterway is
h tremendously important question; but action on it should
'not hold up the treaty itself. We can fight that matter q'ut
wHile the waterway is under construction. '
There is, too, the "all-American" plan for a waterway
iwhich would put a deep-water channel across New York state
'to connect the Great Lakes with the Hudson instead of the
'St. Lawrence. No one outside of New York has ever taken
Ithis plan seriously, and even the original sponsors of it have
(not been heard from very much lately; nor could it win more
than a handful of votes in the senate if it were seriously
.put forward.
There, then, are the principal obstacles in the way of the
' treaty. None is insuperable. None1 should delay construc
tion of the vast improvement which the entire middle west
desires. .

There Is nothing . so convincing as
figures and even the.most ardent free
trader will have trouble arguing theso
figures away. He may come back with
the old mossbactc wheeze that since
America, failed to buy these farm pro
ducts, the American farmer haB lost
'a similar market In. these importing
countries. But. as most or these coun
, tries. Including as the list docs, Aus

the way of farm produce than they
can consume, it Is difficult to see how

And' wben It comes-to manufactured
j goods they will buy where they can
'get the goods the cheapest no mat
( ter where that happens to be and re
gardless of how much we buy of
. them.
The time-worn argument that the
farmer sells In a free trade world
market and buys In a protected mar
ket therefore ha become decidedly
shop-worn. The figures above quo
ted show how protection worked for
the farmer under the first eight
months of the Smoob-Hawley tariff.
And when the free trader tells you
about how the fanner buys In a pro
tected market don't forget to remind
him that every commodity uoed ex
clusively on the farm is now on the
free list and has been for several
years. Cor vn His Gazette-Times.

MUNICH (tf1) If Germany' ls to win
her freedom from post-war restric
tions, a coin pie to break must be
made from the methods employed
by German d Iplomats since the
founding of the republic, says Adolf
Hitler, chief of the national social
ists. "When the revolution broke out In
November, 1918." Hitler wrote recent
ly, "there was raised the flag of
illusions which has since been flying
over all foreign acts of German gov
ernments. I was one of the few who
years ago dared expose these Illu
sions ti public.'
Tho signing. of the treaty of Ver
sailles, tho passive resistance In the.
Ituhr, the Dawes and Young plans,
the policy of demonstrating good will
m meeting reparation until Ger
many's Inability to- pay was drmon-strated--alt
this, for which Rathe
uau, Stresemaim, Curtlus and Brucn
ing stood, rested upon I Mils Ions, ac
cording to Hitler.
"It was an Illusion to surrender
tho navy and the commercial fleet
in the hope of seeing It returned."
he wrote, "an Illusion to disarm in
tho expectation that France would
do likewise.
"It was an illusion to expect help
from a world conscience, from the,
League Of Nations, or from any con
ference. "Tt was an illusion to sign the
lieaco treaty on the assumption that
It was merely a fotmal document and
did not mean the destruction of Ger
man economy by Prance.
"H was an Illusion, to think dur
ing the Ruhr struggle that an army
ot occupation could be chased a Way
by a general strike.
"It was an illusion to sign the
Dawes pact and to believe In the
phantom of a recovery of German
business that was to be made possible
thereby.
"The hopes built upon Locarno
were an illusion. Just ns the Young
plan rented upon illusion only."
Just what Hitler proposes to do
in ease he gains power has never
become quite clear, for tho niKl chief
