PACE FOUR The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, -Oregon, Sunday Blonxin, May 22," 1938 "No Favor Sways Us; No Feat Shall Aure", From Firt Statesman. March 28, 1851 L Charles A. Sprague - ffdtior and Publisher THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING CO. Charles A. Sprague. Pres. Sheldon F. Sackett, Secy, ftlrmber of the Associated Presa I ".The Aasocbiled Pre Is escluslvely entitled to the OM for ?!!b,Jcfj tlon "of all newe db patches credited to It or not otherwise credited ta 7 thia rMi nr I Crisis Looms France gives warning that German aggression in Czecho-Slovakia will be answered by French intervention, in compliance with its treaty obligations. This warning, coming at; the time of reports that the border between Germany and Czecho-Slovakia has been closed and that the latter has called a contingent to the colors, gives fresh cause for concern over the situation in Central Europe. The continued demands of the Sudeten Germans, a minority group in Czecho-Slovakia, overreaches the limits of majority concession. The natural inference is that these demands have been made excessive under nazi pressure, with the object of providing occasion for nazi intervention. Of such materials are undeclared wars made up. j , ' It will take only a spark to start the conflagration of general war in Europe. For if France goes in England is likely to join, and Italy, perhaps Russia. Just a spark, and Europe will proceed to burn its whole house down, as it has been doing for centuries. ! - . For the United States, the best advice given recently was that by Herbert Hoover, who urged America to keep its own house in order, and not to undertake the job of policeman of the world. Sympathetic as we are to world democracy, we will do well to follow Hoover's counsel, and jnot borrow troubles abroad. The temptation will be great, and will be based in many respects on worthy motives, and will be bolstered by many emotional appeals. All the more reason why this country should get its mind definitely set against financing or participating in The Defeat of Trip hnTtlA in ihc ?fmnrrtie ranks over the governorship overshadowed every other contest in the primaries of Friday. The defeat of Governor Martin is of more than local signifi cance. While the final result was a surprise even to many of the supporters of Henry Hess, it was generally recognized that the primary hurdle would be a tough one for the gov ernor to surmount. His naturally conservative temper was out of tune with the, more radical make-up of, the present democratic party. ' I , " A variety of reasons will be given for the governors defeat. It will be acclaimed as a victory for labor, for the , new deal, etc. From a position as observer we would say that it was personal resentment as much as anything which brought the reaction against the governor, resentment, not so much at what he did as over what he said. The governor s habit of speaking his mind in terms that carried a sting, a habit which greatly distressed his political advisers, an tagonized too many groups of voters. Friday .they settled their scores. " m i - While the democratic contest waxed to a bitter climax, the veteran governor did not fail to return blow for blow; and when he went down it was with his face to his foe. His courage commands respect. I ..' The victor in the contest, Henry L. Hess, proved ag gressive as a campaigner, and succeeded in rolling together many diverse elements whose unity was primarily opposition to' the governor. He will undoubtedly throw his full energy into the fall campaign, which ? Charles INI. . Salem friends were shocked to learn of the sudden pass ing of Charles H. Thomas, former public utility commis sioner. Thomas was a man deeply interested in politics, who passed through many of the vicissitudes of politics, now rising to high position, now returning to private life. There was one time when he was in good position to become gov efnor of the state. That was when he was public utility commissioner under Gov. Meier. He expected Gov. Meier to run for reelection. Meier's late decision not to be a candidate left Thomas unprepared to enter the race. With longer notice he might have held the Meier strength and made a formidable candidate. In his political career Thomas made enemies as well as friends. Personally he was a mail of fine personality and imposing presence. . . In one respect Oregon is deeply in his debt: that is in his revision of the public utility Jaw which established effec tive regulation in this state. The 1931 revision: made under ov. Meier was not thorough and complete, as was shown in the investigation made by Thomas into the operations of the promoters of Central Public Service corporation. Thomas recommended andhe 1933 legislature adopted changes which put a snug harness on holding companies, on security issues and on budgets of operating companies, which anticipated by several years the reforms instituted in the federal act. For this service he is entitled to the lasting commendation oMhe people of the state. "industrial Power J. D. Ross, administrator of Bonneville dam, has fixed a differential in his rate schedule between wholesale buyers at the dam and buyers in the general zone served by Bonne ville. This is plainly a bid to industries to locate in the Columbia valley and buy energy from Bonneville. Yet Mr. Ross has not been assailed for this differential as were Governor' Martin, the Portland chamber of commerce and others who made such a recommendation originally. . ; Ross has power to sell, with more on tap if he can build up a market. He knows that the area cannot in these-time's absorb all Bonneville can produce except by displacement of existing plants. So he is desirous of building up his load through sales to industry. He even is willing! to let plants locate in the Bonneville area provided they do not ruin the beauty of the district or damage fish life in the river. ; The Ross decision is sensible. It provides a blanket rate oyer the area for general consumption, and makes a special low rate for local buyers. Such a decision not only looks to the early absorption of Bonneville energy, but to the in dustrial development ofjUienorthwest. j : j Come Fall, the Wars The republican voters of the state have put the party banner in the hands of the editor of this paper as candidate for -governor. One's feeling of elation is tempered by a sense of humility and a realization of the responsibility one as sumes as candidate of a party for a major office. But what one begins he must push through to the end, with full vigor, win or lose. So, come fall, we shall be off again to the political wars.' . ' :' -- ' ;.;: J f Relief problems In the Industrial centers are acute. In Cleveland funds were exhausted and the reliefers were desperate until food supplies were forthcoming:. Chicago's plight forced a special session of the legislature. Now Vancouver, B. C, has a altdown strike In a leading hotel as unemployed appeal for more assistance. The need for business revival Is everywhere apparent. Something must be dona to break the7 Jam which blockades business. Business needs a breath ing spell and breathing room, which could be supplied under a more friendly attitude In Washington. i Another Tlctor Friday was Dr. H. C. Epley, who was elected mayor ef Jefferson, whither he moved -aorae months ago. He won bride after liriag there a short time, haa built up a good, practice, sad haa started a chorus there. This prorea you cant keep a good man down. . ;- ' George V.. Potts, who topped hU field for democrat! nomina tes for state representative, called Saturday to extend taStltaUona. "George." we told him. "you nd X make a good pair." in Europe a new European war, the Governor will insure a spirited contest. Thomas at Bonneville On the Record By DOROTHY THOMPSON Henlein lit London : III It Is admittedly difficult for an American to criticize Brit ish foreign policy, because for twenty years this count-y haa been the world'a moral mtntor, nd often com mon scold Ex cept for Mr. Hull's trade pol icy, which has had a clear line, our foreign poi-v-y has largely consisted of af- Doretkr TsMoa firming moral principles, and at the same time making it clear that we would do nothing whatever to s-.e that those moral principles were en forced unless American interests were specifically involved. . - Now, the very people who have supoprted our own Isolationism are hugely indignant .hen Great Britain adopts something of the same attitude. ; The people of the United States would undoubt edly like to see fascism checked in this world, and when Great Britain shows a disinclination to check it at the possible cost of war, our very isolationists grow indignant and begin to tell Great Britain what she ought to. do. This attitude on our peri un doubtedly arises from the un conscious thought, that PiUisb institutions? are seriously threat ened by the Increasing victories of fascism, while ours pre. not. This is, I believe, a supreme Il lusion on our part Specifically, the triumphs of fascism In Spain, will without the shadow of a doubt, have repercuskns on the whole Spanish-sneaking world, and the most Important outposts of that world are in South America. If a victorious Franco goes into cahoots with the Germans and perhaps the Italians to exploit that world, wfth the political and - economic devices which fascism has so ingeniously perfected, our trade with South America and our In fluence there will ; be seiionsly affected, and the Monroe Doc trine, which is our only consist ent and traditional foreign pol icy, will be challenged. " The American attitude toward Europe consists in the comfort able belief that all countries and notably Great Britain are trying to trap us into an aUiance that "England expects every Ameri can to, do his duty. That we may some day ''lab somebody else to do his duty by ue never seems to cross our minds. , Having said these word' about our own ostrlchlsm, one cat with better grace regard the ostrich ism of Mr. Chamberlain. Great Britain is rearming. The object of that rearmament ts Germany. The British population do- not start in its beds A. an automobile backfires In the streets because it fears that a Russian bomb, or a French bomb or a Czecho slovak bomb has exploded It starts because it fears a Gorman bomb. It is not the fear of Russia or Czechoslovakia that hs led Mr. Chamberlain into making the most uncompromising military alliance with France that has ever existed In history. It is the fear of Germany. The British military policy is based on the assumption of a possible war with Germany. But this does not seem to be the assumption of the diplomatic policy. 7or whil- arm ing for war, the Chamberlain government is apparently work ing toward setting up a nw Holy Alliance, a pax tyrannies. which will, it is fondly uopad, maintain peace, and which will strengthen at the same time the only poten tial enemies. "The Internal political results of this dual policy begin to be apparent. The Chamberlain gov ernment is, deeply unpopular. The BTltish people, while railed on to sacrifice themselves to arm England, begin to wonder for what purpose they are aiming her. When they think of de fending England they think not only of English soil and the British Empire, but of those Brit ish institutions associated with the words freedom and democ racy. - -' ; - i Once they think that the de fense of these things is being abandoned they wonder wjy be so zealous to defend. The polit ical dlssaffection is being shown in the by-elections. In the house of commons there are complaints that the rearma ment program is i.oing along 4oo slowly. There is no difficulty with labor, and ha lab T party Indicates why this Is so: while labor Is being as Ked to be pre pared to defend democratic England, the British government Is selling - out democratic prin ciples in all directions in the hope of maintaining peace. While it is rearming It Is making every conceivable con cession to the only powers that threaten peace, and each of these concessions strengthens those powers. The .argument Is made that Britain Is not vet prepared and that some day In ihe future, with more airplanes and other weap ons, she will be able to take a firmer aland. But meanwhhe Mr. IJenleln feels it Quite in order to go to England to try to get British support for pressing the Czecho slovak government into greater concessions to h- German nasi movement, despite the fact that if Henleln gets what he wants. Czechoslovakia will be delivered over, either to serious Internal strife or to becoming an out and out vassal of Germany. A Germany that can depend upon the neutrality of the Czech army, and that can get access to the grain fields of Hungary, and the 41and mines of.Hnma nia, will be an enormously strong enemy and an extremely uncomfortable and domInrtng freind. And. as It happens, -Czechoslovakia haa right sow more troops, airplanes, and cq alp meat than Britain can train, build, or buy. in any foreseeable future, and has announced that she will use 1 1 """ i - - w m an w Mm KXX BXTNDAT 1180 Kc. :00 Dr. Brock. 8:80 Kadia City Mntie HIU 9:30 Th giuet lioar. 10:00 Th Mario Key RCA. 11 :00 Proper lioutins. 11:1S Loat and Fuand Item. 11:17 Laniinf and Darwin. . 11:80 Olena Harlburt. 11:43 WilUam rr.mrose, CelHit. 12:00 National Veapera. 13:30 Sonra ( Yeateryear. 1:00 Family Altar Hour. 1:80 XBO Program. 1 :5 Talk, Howard Marahall. 2:00 Muaicai Camera. 3:30 Harea liacijaarrie. 8-00 SBC Program. 8:30 Ftt Murray.

Fearless, the statement I Indite, . And give It freely to the breeie It Is mine own, the stuff I write, And I'll assert as I may please. Politics and Tears Now and then at campaign times. In Salem and elsewhere I presume, elderly men foregather in the streets And agree amongst themselves that a vast difference exists between the political cam paign of today and that of 40 or 60 years ago. The old snap and sizzle seems lacking, they say. And they not only say this, but they shake their heads somewhat dolefully, and It is not difficult to see that deep within their wrin kled bosoms rests a belief that the change bodes no good for the commonwealth. However, the change is largely In themselves. For, them the sub lime self-confidence of youth has gone. They have learned many things through the years, and the things they have learned have not tended to the generation of snap and sizzle, nor hive they . in creased their faith in that quality termed truth as it exists in polit ical party platforms. Politics is not, they have learned, entirely the animal they thought It to be in the starry-eyed days of their boyhood. -r The country is no better, nor is it worse, because men grow old. Men upon whose shoulders have come the weight of years are prone to smile indulgently when memories of their younger days come upon them. Youth, despite its confidence in dreams : and its mistaken sense of human values, compensates for theses things by its enthusiasm and its strength. Many of the ventures, in the success of which : youth has no doubt, fall, and It Is from these failures that come the so-called wisdom of the old.

I tpuhd the other day in a red plush box, amongst other relics of a more Or less sacred nature, or which seem ed so to the children's., mother, a four-generation photograph. In this picture -are shown David, six months old, the first son of grand mother's first grandchild. Also appears grandmother's first, son's son and grandmother's first son. The baby occupies a place on a aettee, with grandmother, in a black ailk dress with ruching about the neck," on one side, and father, looking pretty bored, on the other side. I stand immedi ately behind the baby, posed like the duke of Wellington, as he was shown on canvas, following the little trick he turned at Waterloo. I had no idea I was so posed.

There is much that is funny in many old-time photographs. Stiff ly posed as they were, and the face set in artificial expressions, a stranger is not perhaps to be censured tor; laughing at them. I admit that today I am unable to entirely suppiiss a- smile when I look at this four-generation pic ture of ours. But, please take my word for It, it is a smile more of loneliness than of mirth. The picture brings up a number of happy memories, also some that are sad. There is one little' story about grandmother. I had dropped in at the old home on day on my way downtown from din ner, which in our family we al ways ate at noon. Father, mother and grandmother were still at the table when I went in, grandmoth er Etiff as a ramrod, despite her almost-80 years. . Suddenly, she made a peculiar sound, a sort of grate in her throat, and stood up." For a mo ment she stood', supporting her self by a hand on the back of her chair. Then she began a series of backward steps. 'I can't stop," she said. S'l guess I'm golng-to die." Father hurried to assist her, but she wared him back, follow ing the gesture with instructions as to her funeral. "She'll drop when she reaches the wall," said mother. "You pick her up and put her on the bed, father, and I'll telephone for the doctor."- But grandmother did not drop when she reached the wall. In stead, she drew a long breath and laughed. "I feel all right now," she said. "What the dickens do you s'pose it was that brought on a silly spell like that"? And she walked steadily to a chair and sat down. "Don't forget what I . told you about the 23rd Psalm," she said., "I know it's used a good dear at funerals, but I don't know of another that suits me aa well." - She lived six active years after that, dying at last in her sleep without a sound to mark her passing. fi Is ever a source of joy to me when I meet a man or woman who is interested In correct English.
