I Protests in
USING the methods of his nazi exemplar, Dr. Arthur Karl
Greiser has by decree set aside the constitution of the
Free City of Danzig and declared its release from affilia
tion With the league of nations which has maintained a lord
high commissioner there. With this triumph of the nazi party
in Danzig the way seems open for political reunion with Ger
many, on the assumption that Poland will do nothing more
than protest. " ' 1 ' I
While Hitler thus triumphs on the eastern front, even
as a few days ago he attained success in re-establishing a
working agreement with Austria, reports come that the
internal discord over religion is continuing. Nazi ministers,
particularly Rosenberg, have endeavored in every way to
lash the church to the chariot of the nazi regime. They have
substituted a new set of religious ideasi discounting the
Hebrew element in the Holy Scriptures, glonfying the ancient
worship of Norse gods. They have made the majority of the
churches subservient to their will, and most of the priests
and pastors. Recently in their effort to crush the Catholic
opposition they have brought charges of offensive crimes
against many in holy orders. , j j '1 '

! Too Much Brass;
THIS Theodore G. Nelson-Capital Journal build-up has
a phoney ring. With great flourish ; of publicity Nelson
departed for Cleveland as a delegate to the Townsend
convention, with the, declared purpose of "democratizing"
the organization. Nelson was one candidate in the spring
primaries whom defeat did not chasten. He bobbed up and
endeavored to assume considerable local authority in Town
send circles, although the old area board of which he was
a. member, was swept out of existence in the Townsend re
organization in this state.
Nelson has been sending "specials to the Capital
Journal from Cleveland telling what he was prevented from
doing, and now beats his own bass drum about how he is all
through with the Townsend OARP because it is run by
racketeers. Nelson's importance 'is largely self -advertised.
No other newspapers carry a hint of his being a factor in
the big show, or even of his creating any rumpus. While he
talks f about failure to democratize the movement the press
reports tell of how "Citizen Maximus Haight gathered the
Oregon delegates and told them how the movement Was to be
turned over to the followers "as quickly as they can be edu
cated if or it", r ; ! !. ' ;i -
Thp whole Nplsnn performance shows siirns of stacre
' ' -
play, as though he went back to Cleveland with the expecta
tion of leading some one-man revolt. His candidacy for the
senate had many fictitious aspects, and many suspected him
of being just a stooge for clever political agents. His subse
quent well-advertised comings and goings and announce
ment of self-developed plans look like mgre political manipu
lation, a preliminary build-up for some purpose not yet re
vealed. The method followed is
accustomed to thfi arts of politics may de

.which is taken from the Manchester Eng., Guardian :
! "The furious Indignation of the Japanese because a Chinese
Revenue cutter dared to fire on two Japanese ships laden with
contraband adds a new touch to the already fantastic story of
smuggling in North China. Part otthia indignation may be due to
surprise: the Japanese had felt so certain that no armed Customs

General of the Chinese Customs, Japanese Consular police vio

The Great Game

The Strain Is Great
Cleveland, July IS.
THE emotional strain to which
the delegates to this Townsend
convention have been subjected In
the last forty
eight hours is
of unusual
character and
remarkable in
tensity. No
wonder they
seem a little
worn and hag
gard as late
this afternoon
after an almost
u n p r e c e
dentedly excit
ing day they
streamed away
ftn E. Kem from tbe hall
and flocked toward the hotels and
tourist camps. 'They had had-
about all they could take for the
time being. Easily swayed to be
gin with, they, have been swung
by high powered orators whose
rabble rousing capacity is of the
first degree, from one side to the
other with sensational speed and
dramatic 3uddenness. The puss
ling thing to the observer is that
they seem to cheer each aide and
each orator with about the same
degrr.ee of enthusiasm. :
THE STORY is an Interesting one.
First there came yesterday the
surprising indictment of the New
Deal and the Roosevelt policies
generally by old Dr. Townsend,
the beloved leader of the move
ment. His was a speech that
could have been made at the re
cent Republican convention with
out changing a word. Then, there
came late in the afternoon a re
markable speech from the Rev.
Gerald K. L. Smith, which aroused
the whole convention to an extra
ordinary pitch of enthusiasm.
Smith is the self-proclaimed lead
er Of the Share the Wealth move
ment. He seized the leadership
when Huey Long died and while
his organization and his following
is extremely vague, he has with
in the past few weeks, identified
himself with the Townsend move
ment, become one of the Doctor's
chief advisers in fact, the chief.
Eloquent and greatly gifted as an
orator, his. speecli was a terrific
onslaught upon Mr. Rosevelt and
the administration, with particu
lar reference to Mr. Farley. It was
quite an amazing i performance
and he seemed from the start to
the finish to have every last man
and woman in the great hall with
him. And then this morning,
making a highly dramatic en
trance, came Father Coughlin,
who lovingly clasping Dr. Town
send and Gerald Smith around
the shoulders, proclaimed the
three as a trinity determined to
fight to the death both the old
parties. The speech he made was
a tremendous onslaught upon Mr.
Roosevelt, whom he once ardently
supported.
NO SUCH speech as that has been
made against Mr. Roosevelt by
any Republican. No one has call
ed him such harsh names. No one,
ha3 been as ferociously, personal
in attack. It was a startling thing
to hear the Father with his won
derful voice filling: the hall with
such unrestrained denunciation.
True, he hit at Governor Landon,
too, but compared to the savage
assault on the President, the Lan
don criticism was like a love tap.
And he gave a remarkable exam
ple of control over his following
when in the middle of his speech
and without warning he called to
the platform Congressman Martin
Sweeney of Cleveland, formerly a
Roosevelt man. In clarion tones
Father Coughlin asked Mr. Swee
ney if he understood that if he
was for Roosevelt he could not
have the support of the National
Lnion for Social Justice. When
Mr. Sweeney said he did under
stand the Father called, upon him
to say where he stood. Mr. Swee
ney came through like a trick dog
leaping a hurdle. He violently
repudiated Mr. Roosevelt, using
very harsh language indeed. The
crowd cheered wildly. " It seemed
completely In. accord with Father
Coughlin, completely under the
spell of his voice. But even to
one whose admiration of Mr.
Roosevelt Is completely restrained
it was not a pleasant spectacle.
AT THE close of the morning: ses
sion It seemed indisputably clear
that a hard and fast combination
had been effected by Dr. Town
send. Father Coughlin and Gerald
Smith, the common purpose being
to defeat Roosevelt. Regardless
of the fact that it was not pro
posed formally to endorse the
Lemke candidacy, it was plain the
three leaders would declare for
Lemke, that they would awing all
their followers who could be
swung away from Mr. Roosevelt
and that this was all in the Inter
ests of Governor Landon. He
was the man who would profit
politically by the combination. It
seemed, too, that the convention
was unanimously or almost un
animously in accord with the
leaders. It did not. however, seem
that way by the time, latetn the
afternoon, that Mr. Comer Smith,
recently defeated for the Demo
cratic Senatorial nomination In
Oklahoma, got through talking.
Mr. Smith turned out to be almost
as gifted an orator as either Ger
ald Smith or Father Coughlin and
he was very much madder.
IN LESS than five minutes he
had the crowd with him, apparent
ly as completely as either Smith
or Coughlin had had It. though he
pitched into both of. them with
tremendous vigor and earnestness.
Also he took the pro-Roosevelt
side of the debate and evoked an
enormously enthusiastic response.
The sensational part of his speech,
however, were .the charges lie
made against Gerald Smith and
Mr. Maynes, hLt publicity man. In
effect he asserted his belief, that
they were being paid by the Lib
erty League to "sell the Townsend
movement down the political
river. It was all very exciting
and so far as any one could judge
the thirteen thousand delegates
cheered the defender of Mr. Rooa-

from the state milk board's recent
decree raising the retail prices on
milk and making price and prac
tices I uniform1 throughout the
state.! Although there has been
only scattering protest In , Lane
county, there is a good deal ot
sympathy with these Southern
Oregon protests.
Milk supply must be viewed as
a public utility In respect to its
direct j connection with public
health. For that reason it is rea
sonable to require the elimination
of cutfthroat practices which may
affect j the quality of milk. It is
reasonable to say that prices at
any period of the year shall be
based' on what It actually costs to
produce a high-grade, completely
sanitary supply of milk.
Butfto say that prices and prac
tices tnust be the ' same at all
times over a state as large as Ore

conditions for dairying is so ri
diculous as to Invite distrust. If.
as reported from some parts of
the state, the new ruling is having
the result of driving customers to
the use of canned or prepared
milk, it is obviously defeating the
one public purpose of milk con
trol which is to encourage the use
of good natural milk, by Insuring

KING OF
CHAPTER XXII
The little time that remained en
that last morning, after a late
breakfast, Lynn devoted to pack
ing. Doti insisted upon helping her,
but she did not seem to know how to
do anything. Her effort were im
pulsive and ineffectual. At the last
moment, she presented Lynn with
a complete aet of ivory satin lingerie
and an ounce of imported French
perfume. When Lynn protested her
extravagance, she dismissed the
gifts as of no consequence. Her
generosity was fostered by abun
dance and indulgence, and not by a
spirit of loving sacrifice. She gave
from her lavish provision and knew
nothing of intrinsic values. Much
as she treasured the luxuries, Lynn
was reluctant to accept what would
have represented so much effort to
her. ,
Zola and the Colonel had added
their persuasion that Lynn should
remain with them. But she was de
termined to retain north. Added to
being their responsibility, she
feared now for the chaos her af
fection for Jack might precipitate
into their orderly design for liv
ing. She knew that if they sus
pected the truth for a moment, they
would speed her departure with all
Sasts. They would tolerate no
smallest element which threatened
Doti's happiness, she was sure. But
she compromised with a promise to
consider returning at some future
time.
Dewey came speeding out to the
house in the early afternoon, pro
testing, "I just heard you were leav
ing. Of course, I didn't believe it,
but I came out to see what you had
planned," ha lowered his voice with
guarded significance. "We'll go
anywhere yoa say, sweet. II you
want your relatives to believe you're
going back north 111 meet you
anywhere you say." -
She gave him a look that was In
tended to wither or freeze, depend
ing upon his vulnerability. "I dont
wish to meet yon anywhere, Mr.
Condon. I have only been civil to
you for Doti's aaka, and I'm going
back north to take car of myself,
where my acquaintance doesn t In
clude men like you."
"Oh, I say, arent you being a
little cruel?"
"Net nearly ao cruel aa I should
be. You need some man to deal with
you, or some woman who is as ruth
less aa you are not the innocent
girls you select for your victims."
"Innocent girls 1" ha sneered de
fensively. "Oh, I dont expect you to believe
that any of us are innocent. Your
pattern fits everyone, in your own
mind. Goodbye Mr. Condon. It
has been something of a revelation
to know you. and the experience
jnay be useful to ma in the future."
She stood up to dismiss him.
He retreated with little less
than his usual grace, but his man
ner still insisted that he scorned her
rebuff. As she stood at the open door
and watched his glittering car dis
appear down the drive, she thought
how very far apart were those two
extremes of her revelation of men
in one short week of time. She felt
wiser by ages of time and depths of
experience, since the morning when
she had first entered that door. The
golden aerenity of the day, the
mystery of the drooping oaks, the
sheen of the magnolia trees were
the same. But she was not ' the
same. - She had experienced the
depth of love and the revulsion of
that substitute which was almost aa
from the roads, then it with equal
logic should pay pensions to print-
era and grocery clerka and rob
their employers for the pension
funds. Perhaps the only reason
printers and grocery clerka were
not Included la that they are not
so easily organized into a masat
vote. The effort Is so rotten it
smells. Corvallis Gazette-Times.

lighted to find her drawingroom
the Colonel had insisted upon that
filled with farewell gifts of books
and Rowers and confections. It was
a happy climax for her holiday. Thel
riria (were demonstrative mna uw
boys: attentive. Everyone promised
to ae hex; in Chicago soon, whether
or nt they had any idea of visiting
in the north. She accepted the
promises tin the same spirit they
were tnade, like all such assurances
of the future.
And the next thing Lynn knew,
the little group on the platform was
receding Into the distance and the
train was speeding toward the
norths The happiest week of her
lif e was i ended and she did not
know whether to mourn or rejoice.

It would take nlenty of courage and
