Will Vouch for Liftin The republicans could not find a more capable or stronger delegate from the state at large than Ben R. Liftin, pub l i s h e r of The Dalles Chronicle, who is a candidate for delegate at large to the re-* publican national convention. H a v in g known Liftin personally for years we can and do appreciate the opportunity of rec ommending him to republicans of this com munity. He is a live wire, courageous and thoroughly true to his convictions. City council took a stand last week th a t on the face of things seems to be justified. T ransfer of men from W PA pro jects to the sewer job under PWA has resulted in an early discharge for cause. The men, contractors declare, are physi cally unfit to carry on the hard work in connection with the sew er project and have lost their WPA standings. Men not capable of extremely hard work should be kept on the WPA rolls in all fairness and the younger and stronger men trans ferred to the sewer work. Flood control in the Tualatin would be one of the biggest things th a t could happen to this valley and Senator McNary is to be commended for bringing favorable committee action on Oregon rivers. The candidates are a t the tape and the registration for voters is closed. In fairness to the w elfare of the people may the best man win. A new spaper plant is a factory—b u t a new spa per is a soul. eyes a chance to see w hat th e ir ow n political p re judices refuse to perm it th e ir brains to absorb? This can be the only answer, as many who have w atched th e operation of CCC camps in this Pacific N o rth west w ill agree. Take, for instance, th at section of th e M ount Hood National forest w hich lies betw een th e C olum bia riv er on th e n orth and th e Mount Hood Loop highw ay on th e south, review the w ork w hich has been done by the youths and officers of these CCC camps in th is region, and see if you can find it possible to say th at the money spent on renabllita- tion of these youths has been squandered Aside from th e m any fire roads and trails these youths have built through the forests, to say n o th ing of th e im provem ent of the C olum bia riv er high w ay by th e opening up of m any glorious view s of the great riv er by the rem oval of brush, th e re is th e splendid w ork these boys have perform ed in fighting forest fires, in w hich several have sacrificed th e ir lives, and others have been b u rn ed a n d crippled. A re w e w illing to forget, because of absurd political bias, th a t these youths found themselves, through the economic erro rs of th e ir elders, w ith out th e chance w hich every A m erican youth has a right to expect in this, th e richest nation of the world? If this is the m yopia w hich w e m ust endure because we absorb p arty politics, th e sooner we break aw ay from them entirely, th e b etter w ill it be both for our nation and ourselves.—Hood R iver News. Mendacious Falsehood It is difficult to understand how a state of mind could be gleefully malicious, b ut no oth er words could b etter describe the attitu d e of the Oregonian in referrin g to NRA regulations and AAA r e strictions as presaging th e possibility th a t th e fed eral governm ent may presently be com m anding its citizens to “wash behind tb e ears." The purpose, of course, though stated with a so rry attem pt a t w him sicality, to em phasize th e L iberty League point of view th a t individual freedom is being denied the A m erican people. T he statem ent is as u n w arran ted as it is m a licious. T he only invasion of personal lib erty has been an effort to end unfair practices and compel cor porations to b e honest in th eir dealing- w ith the public. And th a t is not a new u n d ertak in g on th e p art of th e A m erican governm ent. It has ever been th e substance of all regulatory legislation, w hether national or state. The outstanding w ieider of the "big stick" in ell our history was T heodore Roose velt. to whom th e republicans refer w ith justifiable pride, although th e sam e type of "m alefactors” who oppose him are now opposing F ran k lin D. Roose velt. It is tru e th a t th e NRA did attem p t to in ject a modicum of honesty and fair-dealing into business practices; and it is also tru e th a t its purpose was defeated by business men them selves for th e very simple reason th a t observance of its regulations w ould have elim inated m any of th e evils th a t con trib u te so largely to social and economic injustice. So-called Big Busines.: would not consent to r e nunciation of th e special privileges it had so long enjoyed. But business honestly conducted and individuals •who obey ju st law s have suffered no los3 of liberty or lack of opportunity because of any congressional enactm ent. Any statem ent to th e contrary is m en daciously false, and known to be false by the one who makes it.—Oregon Democrat. Confronting the Reds We commend The Oregon Jo u rn al for th e valiant fight it is m aking against Red influences in civil and official life. This is not a scare cry, at all. The Reds are w orking quietly, all th e tim e, and noisily p art of th e time, to overthrow th is governm ent. They are directly responsible for th e long series of strik es w e have had on this coast in milks and am ong longshorem en and seamen. They have cost m illions of dollars and some lives. They have been industriously try in g to incite th e m en of th e navy to insurrection. They have w orked on th e N ational G uard, the Boy Scouts and other organizations. They urge th e men in th e arm y to use th e ir guns against the capitalists and join Com munism to ta k ing over th e country by force. They have in filtrated into th e Y. M. C. A. and other church o r ganizations. Some schools are lousy w ith them. T he Jo u rn al is doing a patriotic public service in w arning th e public of th eir activities.—Corvallis Gazette-Times.
