' il sin-pride. A s'tii-pVise even to the appointee.
Marshall Daha, associate jtditor of the Oregon Joiirnrtl,
( received the appointment. Thereby another ;proof .that oui'
' chief executive is trying and striving in every way for su-
pervsisiori of his reconstruction programs to give in Jiis
. esiimta(ticfti the best conscientious, 'capable .administration
and not sfinply follow the old .rule of passing out ;plums to

; NO APOLOGY IS NEEDED
! .-Cabled dispatches 'from Europe indicate 'that the people
; 'oVers'e'as are beginning once niore o shalte 'their heads sadly
i over Uncle.Sam's misguided and deluded 'refusal to save the
I world from disaster.
. foir.a long .time it .was Uncle Sam's refusal to cancel the;
' VijSr :ddbts that convicted him of selfishness, blindness land
' (obstinacy. Then .it .was . his action in raising his tariff rates;
' ;niji'e. recently,, it was.'his deeision'to go off the gdld standard.!
, Now, ;it seems, he has .wrecked civilization .by his stand at;
' the London "conference, die won't Stabilize 'his currency, He
wbn't agree to h sudden horizontal tariff slush, hp
. this, that and the other thing; and as a result 'he is .oiice'
: the target for the 'pitying scorn of the super-civilized
'altruists across '.the "Atlantic.
The 'only -way in which all of this criticism can -do riy.
harm is that some Americans may begin to Wke it serWusly.
j What e .must realize :is that we need .not apologize in 'the
least for our country's course at London. 'Our government
. ia looking out 'first and foremost for the interests of .its,own
. citizens, and it is doing it in what seems to be a hardibolled
rind effective manner. In that, there is certainly nothing to
be uishamcd of.
; We arc remaining off the gold standard until we can get
i back on .in our own way and at Our own .terms? Surely
:h'd so is England, whence a good part of ,this sorrowful
I head-shaking originates.
f. We are guilty of the crime of debasing the value of oiir
; currency? Well, France did precisely the same thing about
, a decade ago, cutting the value of the franc to one-fourth
of .its old worth. Isn't it odd that the French should be so
.indignant at us now?
i We are going slowly in the matter of reducing our tariffs'?
Sure just as England has -abandoned preferential .under-
standings with other nations; just as France is doing, just as
', practically every other nation on the globe is doing.
The truth seems to be that our delegates simply -adopted
, a hai'd-boiled and realistic attitude at London. They didn't
care to have Uncle Sam holding the bag when the conference
ends.
.-. .If this has aroused Europe's indignation well, it's just
! too bad.
Some of those who celebrated the fourth think that the
Declaration of Independence brought lights without resixm
Tho trouble willf most international' parleys is that the
participants go into them like a woman into a -big sale with
a dollar to spend.
' Gradually the idea begins -to get about that maybe, after
all, the full -of 1983 will be a good trade season.

in strong for sunshine
so I'm strong for Toasting
I've always found that really good
reasons are the simplest reasons.
For instance, I know that sunshine
mellows and heat purifies. "Toast
ing" is therefore very easy for me
to' understand. And very easy for
me to appreciate because my
sense of the fastidious is so very
exacting. You see, I'm always
aware of the fact that my cigarette
comes in such intimate contact
with my lips. Quite naturally, it's
the purity of "Toasting" that J
single out for -special praise. It's
just my own personal feminine
reason for saying "Luckies Please!"
