Stalin's claim is that Trotsky; has con spired with Germany and Japan to overthrow his rule in Russia and dismember that vast country or. portions of it, among "capitalist" powers. There is scarcely anyone outside of the Stalinists who credits such a fantastic tale.' Max Eastman, a distinguished American author, as well as a staunch believer in communistic theories attributes the ! purge to Stalin's retreat from socialism and his erection of a new party bureaucracy in Russia,: with restoration - of many of the features, cultural and economic and political of ?the "bourgeois" state which Lenin denounced. In a sweeping survey of Stalin's decrees and changes, in the current Har per's magazine Eastman concludes that "the experiment in socialism in Russia is at an end." ' ' i t "To my mind there Is not a hope left for the classless so ? clety In present-day Russia. Inside of ten rears, barring; revo- lutionary changes, the Soviet Union bids fair to be as reaction ary aa any country which has emerged from feudalism." . Stalin's retreat from Leninism has been on many fronts. First in culture. Education has lost the freedom which won praise for Russian schools and by decree has reverted to reg imentation in method and purpose, and even in uniform. The .position of womanhood has been reduced, so now the Russian woman is regarded primarily as a breeder of children.' Di vorce and alimony are made too costly for the poor ; abortion is once more a crime. The attitude toward peace and war has changed; national patriotism is being extolled on typical chauvinistic lines; the idea of international solidarity of workers has been abandoned in favor of compromise with imperialistic governments. j In politics Eastman finds the new constitution a clever ly designed instrumentality for preserving the power of the bureaucrats. There is only one party only one list of candi dates. The upper house, of the so-called parliament is fully controlled by the party executive. So far as the communist party is concerned it has been tioning the ruling clique. Stalin's retreat is apparent also In the economic field. Wasres are now unequal, decidedly-unequal. Eastman notes the range between low-paid workers in .Russia and works ex ecutives is about the same as between corporation, chiefs in this country and their low-paid employes. The bureau chiefs, executives of manufacturing trusts get good salaries plus ncrauisites: and are able to ment securities or savings banks at seven and eight per cent interest, such investment being free from all taxes, includ inir inheritance taxes. Even many cases where lands are voir of special privilege by granting the land in perpetuity to the collectives. j ; It is clear that Stalin's course is driving a wedge in the communist partisans over the organization remain faithful plausible explanations to justify each new decree he makes, each fresh victim of his vengeance he orders to the firing squad. Others who are soaked in the doctrines but perhaps not active in the party organization have come to doubt Sta lin, though Eastman is one of the first to repudiate him. Hu man nature being what it is. and the craving for power as natural as it is, there should be little surprise that'the rulers of Russia seek to entrench themselves in power by decreeing rules of orthodoxy and executing dissidents as heretics. As a rule revolutions burn themselves out, and new deals become frozen into old deals when the initial passions subside. Labor Relations j BILLS have oeen introduced in the legislature,' like HB 56 and 57 whose purpose is to require labor organizations to register, and to forbid general and sympathetic strikes. Sponsors of the. bills are the shipping' public who have suffered because of recent transportation tie-ups. Oth er bills in the senate define labor disputes and restrict priv ileges of picketing to actual disputes between employers and employes, and require a 30-day waiting period for negotia tion and conciliation. All of these bills labor unions regard as in opposition to their interests.- j Perhaps as foil to this pending legislation is a bill to set up a labor relations board designed to enforce collective bar gaining, and by barring company unions, in effect to compel obedience to organized labor unions. Unfair labor practices on the part of employers would be forbidden, and these un fair practices are clearly defined, severely restricting the em ployer from exercising influence over his employes in labor relations. This bijl very clearly is on the side of union labor. . The Statesman has a feeling that the bills have been pre pared, not so much for a solution of the labor problem, as to advance or restrict the cause of union labor. If ever there was a field which calls for exhaustive study by persons of well-balanced minds and sympathies it is the question of la bor relations. What Oregon needs is a general labor code, not a collection of patchwork legislation. To get it some public commission might well be constituted to revise and propose laws setting forth the rights of employers and employes, and protecting the interest of the public There is no doubt that conceptions of the relations of master and servant are under going changes which will need to be reflected in laws. This paper would like to see the legislature authorize a commis sion to study labor relations with the responsibility "of pro posing to the next assembly a labor code, rather than to pass piecemeal legislation , such as is now proposed. ; ' ; - - Prof. Lee of Stanford university Is authority for the statement that venereal disease causes ten per cent of the insanity. 75 per cent ' of the sterility and SO per cent of the blindness in this country, in addition is its heavy toll of suffering; and distress, often borne by Innocent victims of the Infection.

So this, the 3rd, is the 47th an niversary of the destruction of the first wagon bridge, built across the .Willamette. : Something; was said yesterday In this column about the depth oa the level of the snow that was a contributing cause in 1U quick melting to the flood of 18 S 1-2. which brought the highest water ever officially recorded at ' Sa lem; that there had been a jfoot of snow on the level, r . - 'V- v s - . I ; But two reet of snow, which has not been usual on the level In the Willamette valley, has fallen several times In the past 132 years alnce the first white men arrived here who became settlers. the two members of the Lewis and Clark expedition who remain ed here. Not three, as most! au thorities have it. Two: Baptist DeLoar and Francis Rivet. (Next to remain -were 12 of the Astor party arriving, one in IS 11 land 11 in 1812.) S ' The Lee missionaries, begin ning in 1834, reported deep snows here and high water in the Wil lamette, in the thirties and for ties. - -. : ;r - r :. :?- . Rev. .Gustavns Hines, one ot the chiefs ot that earliest. Protestant mission west of the Rockies on the American mainland, told tof such winter weather and high wa ter in 1842. Other members of that mission spoke about the hard winter of 1827-8. The Portland Oregonlan of yesterday spoke of severe wea ther in 1884-5, In 1895. on De cember 8, 1919, In February, 1887. the same month of 1893, and In November, 1921. The Salem Journal on Monday said the present snow Is (or was) deeper than the one in 1919, which was perhaps 26 inches, here Uin Salem. - ..The present one has been re ported from 24 to 27 inches J and on up. On higher elevations, it has been much deeper here;! and In places where there was drift ing of the first fleecy fan. That's the way of it. All kinds of memories and many present measurements that, differ, j And the difference between Portland and Salem snowfall and weather has often been wide. We jhave never had a so-called "silver thaw" of any severity. Portland has had many. Joaquin Miller wrote in one at his books that shortly after his people arrived in the Willamette valley, stopping near the site of what became Jefferson, Marion county, there were many weeks on end with two and more feet of snow on the level. That was in the winter of 1852-3. j But several of the winters Im mediately preceding that one had winters that seemed like spring (almost like heaven) to the cov ered wagon Immigrants Itresn from off the plains.. This writer heard some of their descriptions. They were like that, V In the 1890 flood, electric lights were out In Salem, and the water system was Inoperative. People then were not far; from the period when coal oil lamps had served, and a little further back candles and torches;! and weUs were numerous, to they "got along." It would not be as easy now. j in the eighties and nineties, when the Salem system furnished Willamette river water straight, j wiinoui any treatment, and Hiked It, and bragged on its purity, a doubting Thomas, or rather his wife, got drinking water from a neighbor who had a well. It was so cold and pure! Later It was discovered that the county Jail sewage drained Into that weU! After that ! Mrs. D. Thomas took her "Wfllam ette" straight. The official gauge at low water on the Salem side of the Willam ette shows 113.59 feet above sea level. The Oregon high war de partment shows a higher eleva tion for Salem, or 164 feet. The Southern pacific shows still high er. They are of course all correct; for their different points, f What would we do for boats on the upper Willamette now, In case, of a big flood? We would miss them, and manv lives would h lost for lack ot them. : i W W . j v Many buildings were in 1890 washed away; homes, warehous es, etc. Including both Salem riv er docks. r The bridge went out at 20 min utes to 2. afternoon, 47 years ago xoaay. bt s tne water was at standstill. From 5 to lout fell three inches. S Robert By bee, Portland, had 120,0000 worth of fine racing norses on his farm in Kaiser bottom, fire miles below Salem. He Wired his alarm, and Ben Taylor and C: W. Pngh took the latter's boat and went down to attend to the animals. They were found safe; on about the only high ground In an Island sea of several thousand acres of waters. f ' ' Ben Taylor is still extant, and he told the writer by "phone yes terday afternoon that the water was coming Into the first floor ot the barn, so. for greater j safety, they put the horses on the second flOOr. - ::,-.. I One might go on to great lengths retelling the stories ot the two most destructive floods that of 1890 and the one of 18(1-2. That meant the last days of 1881 and the first ones of 18C2.

Her life was finished. - Suddenly her heart stood still. then seemed to turn right over In her chest. For she had heard the quick step of Oerald in the pas sage outside. She had an instinct to scream, to warn him of the presence of these men and of his danger but not a sound escaped her dry throat, I He flung the door open. For one second he stood In the aper ture, staring at the four of them. Then he stepped back, slam ming the doof and locking it from the outside. She could hear his footsteps flying down the corri dor..; : L "McGraw, use your - pass-key! Jones, telephone the desk!" In a flash they were out In tne passage, running like hounds af ter the quarry.

"I guess we're- out of luck, thanks to your overwhelming wish tor repose! But we have to yield to the ladies, don't we?' he said sarcastically. He bowed to Elizabeth. "Looks as If our honey moon will have to be postponed. She was staring at a stranger! It seemed as though she were sleep-walking. This thins; could n't have happened! - . The brusque voice of the senior detective crashed Into the appal ling silence. "It'll be postponed for a matter ot f ten to fifteen years; buddy. : Sorry, sister, but youll have to come along too." : Colonel James McCarthy, late ot the United States Cavalry, awoke on the morning of the day following Elisabeth's elopement in a very bad temper.

' Goin' to Town! They brought him back la handcuffs marriages he knew. But he had no definite proof that Elizabeth was married. Nor, in his anger with her, had he tried to find out anything further about her doings. She was ungrateful and disobedient and he was through with her, he told himself. - But he couldn't shut out wor ry. Worry had nagged him all day -yesterday. He had slept bad ly for two nights in succession. He knew he would go right on sleep ing badly, and feeling liverish in the morning, until he had further definite news of his step-daughter. .. '-, .v ; As for old Martha, she walked about the house as though there had bees' a funeral, the old fool! "Where's the morning paper? Don't stand there staring!" he barked at her from the breakfast table. He was annoyed that his hands shook as he opened It, for he would have been" the last per son to admit that he was seeking news of Elizabeth In Its pages. - Only old Martha knew. She had made kedgeree for him this morning a peppery concoc tion of fish 'and rice and hard boiled egg that la a favorite in the Orient, He was attacking it half heartedly. , , yy.-f ' ;vs- c Elizabeth was headstrong. Doubtless she was angry that be had spoken to her highhandedly. He understood that this going oft with a party of friends was not uncommon nowadays among ; re bellious ."modern" girls, though it was deplorable.

Not that any, explanation would be adequate, nor would he condone what she had done. - ., : The fork" with which he had been manipulating the kedgeree slipped from , his fingers , to his plat as he stared at the head lines above a news-Item on page one.

And the question Is not on ly, what readjustments must be made, but It is also: In what spirit and by what method shall we ap proach' a solution of our prob lems? Are we to seek solutions by fundamental democratic meth ods of - Investigation, reasonabil- lty, and knowledge, seeking ev erywhere the greatest possible measure ot consent, or are we to engage In naked contests of pow er with the decisions determined by force and malntalnesfr by coer cion? The whole philosophical basis ot democracy rests upon a belief in human reason and the possibility of obtaining collabor ation for specific ends between divergent groups. It that basis Is abandoned democracy la lost, v - ' ' The - President's Portland speech, one of the finest of his campaign. Indicated that he in tended .to approach the - power question In the spirit of liberal ism and democracy, concentrating upon the attainment of objective ends. Those ends were "assurance of good service andlow rates to the population" ... the establish ment of "the undeniable right" of any community "to set up its own governmentally owned and -operated service"; the conservation ot private utility operation ! and in vestment wherever fair rates are charged and only reasonable pro tits made. "When state-owned or Federal-owned power sites are so developed private capital should be given the first opportunity- to transmit and distribute power on the basis of the best, service and the lowest rates to give reason able profit only." .''--;- i The calling of the power con ference to discuss a pool; the ap pointment of a Power Poller com mittee to work ou a eolation be tween private and public inter ests, were all along the line ot a liberal approach. The Power Pol icy committee contained repre sentatives ot the interested Par ties T.V.A, and the private utll ities in the field Mr. Ickes, rep resentatives of the Federal Power commission: Mr. Cooke.! ot Rural Electrification; two represents' tives from the S.E.C., and some of the most enlightened industrial ists and technical advisers on fi nance of this country: . 1 Mr. Rus sell Let fingwell, one ot the tew men amongst bankers or bank era advisers who have defended the major parts of the President's financial program; Mr. Alexander Sachs, who has spent years study ing the power question and the co-ordinations which have been made elsewhere In the world, and Mr. spoils Branaeis , we nie. a nephew ot the Supreme Court Justice, as another Independent adviser. It. was a sympathetic committee, and If any group ot men In the country were capable of working out a program along the lines of the Portland speech and bringing to it the prestige of knowledge, this ' group - was. It was charged on October 1 to work out" plans for realizing an admin istration program, outlined on broad lines, and it was approach ing a reasonable-: compromise when It was wrecked by the ex tremists of the T.V.A. and the Senate. - The wreckage was ac companied by extremely mislead ing publie statements and the sort ot headlines that Mr. Roosevelt deplored ; when, in another case, they were used by John Lewis. Senator Norris. on January 14, stated that the utilities hare not in good faith lived up to their agreement at ' the White House conference; that at that confer ence there was an agreement to extend until ; February the con tract between the T. V. A. and the Commonwealth etc - Southern cor poration, and that la violation of the terms ot that extension and as soon as the extension was made, the utilities got out an injunction hamstringing the T.VJU in ev erything. r Mr. Wendell Willkle was able to produce evidence In the form of a correspondence, with tho President that Senator Nor ris statement was not In har mony with the facts, and in this he was publicly supported by Mr. Wehle. And the true state of mind back ot tho extremists was expressed In Senator Norris oth THOMPSON er statement that "public and pri vate power can no more mix man oil and water. That is a. statement ot oninion. rather than tact, and the opinion has little to support in all the democratic counties - public and private enterprise in the utility f nr hannllv mixed In Great Britain and in Sweden, for Instance, and obviously It was to find a way of mixing them that tho President called a conference In the first place. The reaction of a largo part of the liberal press Indicates that it has forgotten' the essence of. lib eralism and. prefers - to join ' the fanatics.' who are accustomed to redouble their efforts when they lose sight of their' aim. Mr. Jay Franklin, for Instance, joined the mV Ik, itatmnfiAtasriira whn he attacked Dr. Arthur Morgan's m nubile statement on T.V.A. pocy For Mr. Franklin's whole attack on Dr. Morgan was centered around the argument that Dr. Morgan agreed with Mr. Willkle. "For a concededly. honest man,'! he said, "Dr. Morgan could have done little more for the private utilities had he been on the pay roll of the Commonwealth . and Southern. It seems utterly out of the question to Mr. Franklin that Dr. Morgan and Mr. Willkle actually might come to agreement honestly at any point. For Mr. Franklin, and for Senator Nor ris, and Mr. Lilenthal this is plainly, not a question of finding the best method -for giving the people cheap power and protect ing their Interests, but Is a figut between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Such a fight. being ; completely subjective. Is never . compromisable. - .... - . One might answer the devil chasers in Washington with an other statement ot Dr. Morgan's which has nothing; to do with the power issue, but Is a statement of faith. I quote from the notes ot Antioch college: "The foundation of -civilized society is reliance on Intelligent and sympathetic fair-, ness and reasonableness rather than on arbitrary power. Only to the extent that men hare confi dence that Issues will be decided by efforts to reach the most yea sonable conclusions can men dis arm, physically, and socially. economically ; That Is a liberal statement, and ; whether the liberal spirit will pre- vail or 'not in the next four years will determine whether we are. to more forward Into new social and' economic forms with a maximum of unity and consent or whether we are to settle down to bitter warfare. And war the liberals have always tsaid never really settles anything, but merely sows the seeds for new wars. Mrs. F. Dahl, 75, Dies at Woodburn WOODBURN. Feb. 2.
