There is little conception on this side of the Atlantic of
the seriousness with which all Europe is considering : the im
minent possibility of another World war. Some light on this
subject is furnished in a letter sent from London. by Charles
E. Wilson,! former manager of the Salem chamber of com
merce, i " . x
In the letter was enclosed a sheet comprising two pages
of the London Times of June 2, devoted to a transcrmt of
proceedings in the House of Commons. Apparently almost
the entire time of Commons in the-June 1 session was devoted
to discussion of problems involved in the prospect of war and
the air raids which England would inevitably suffer if war
should come ; but in the letter Wilson said ; "That s what peo
ple are thinking about war and bombardment from air
all seem to live under this fear. It's in the papers' every day.
There is discussion of a universal draft bill and the ques
tion a3 to whether wealth as well as manpower, is to be con
scripted in case of war, but the greater portionof the parlia
mentary session evidently was -devoted to a report by Sir
Samuel Hoare, home secretary, on a bill to appropriate near
ly six million pounds for Air Raid Precautions. .
This large sum was sought in spite of the fact that much
"of the program was to consist of voluntary service, Sir Sam
uel pointed out. Nearly half a million men and women, had
already volunteered and nearly all had already received some
first aid and anti-gas training; these include large numbers
of physicians, dentists and nurses. 1. .
One of the precautions consists of a survey in various
sections of London designed to provide bomb-proof shelter
for all of the citizens whose homes are not in ) themselves
bomb proof; and in this they have the cooperation of owners
of property which do provide such shelter. In boroughs where
dwellings are small and no such shelter is provided, the sur
vey locates vacant property where dugouts and trenches may
be provided. These are not actually being built, but the sur
vey makes provision for materials and labor crews to build
them without delay and, in fact, 300,000,000 sandbags were
already being accumulated. I
' In addition to ordinary bombs and gas bombs, attacked
cities now have to contend with the incendiary bombs, so
England is also organizing volunteer fire brigades to deal
with this problem, with special fire-fighting equipment al
ready provided. Gas masks are being distributed to stations
' where they may be given out to the populace in, case of emer
gency. ! ' .
Of course it is particularly important to protect the gov
ernment buildings, in order that air attacks may; not disrupt
governmental machinery in wartime. An interesting discov
ery in connection with plans to "black out" the city in case of
a raid, was that none of the government buildings had any
blinds on the windows! These have to be provided.
Industrial plants have to be protected, and to encourage
this, the cost of providing shelters is to be made an allowance
gainst Income taxes. Utilities, in view of their public neces
sity, are receiving special consideration. I

problem, the matter of making
is being urged upon architects ana Duiiaers. i
One of the biggest problems is getting the information
to every householder, and a large organization of "air raid
wardens" is being formed to make a house-to-house canvass
to instruct the people tin what to do in case of an "emergen
cy." Little mention was made on the floor of Commons as to
what that "emergency" might be. j
These are only a few of the matters discussed that one
day in parliament. There were occasional moments of levity
war wa3 by no mearis a certainty. The opposition speakers
moved to reduce the fund for air raid defense by the infini
tesimal amount of 100 pounds, and then proceeded to argue
that the precautions proposed were woefully insufficient.
The whole proceedings furnished some light on the ser
iousness of war perils In Europe and the realization that wars
are no longer fought on battle fronts, but throughout the ter
ritory of belligerents. "- . ) e,
! Editorial Correspondence
CHICAGO, 111., June 18. As I was a boy in the midwest
this city was the metropolis about which everything re
volved. Chicago papery, Chicago markets, Chicago stores and
banks dominated the Midwest. Of most vital importance were
the board of trade and the stock yards. At the former prices
of grains were deterniined. The latter was the chief market
for hogs and cattle. 1 I s
i Both still exist, but their importance is not so great as
once it was. "Direct marketing" has altered considerably the
handling of live stock. Freight trains still roll in hundreds of
- ... . . - . . . i
cars of cattle and hogs to unicago wnere tne great pacKing
plants are still located ; but Chicago handles a much smaller
percentage of the business than formerly. j
Meat packing has been decentralized, with smaller plants
all over the midwest.- Trucks haul the farmers hogs from
farm to the packing plant in a nearby city. Buyers travel
through the country, spot the supplies they want, call up the
farmer when they want them and close a deal by phone, or
the farmer brings his stock in and takes the prevailing price.
Paved roads and trucks have thus, radically altered the mar
keting system for livestock. " !
The board of trade is so completely supervised by the de
partment of agriculture that it is no longer the "free" market
it once was. Short selling particularly is under scrutiny, and
.speculating on the board is not so popular as once it was. We
can recall when trading on the board was common in cities
and even in villages over the corn and wheat country. The
trading volume has undoubtedly been curtailed. The result is
probably beneficial so far as the speculator is concerned. I
doubt however if the result is beneficial to the grain' produ
cers for the reason that most
to sustain prices to the advantage of the farmer who sells real
; grain, - ; - "i
But if the board of trade is no longer the "gambling
aink" it once was, the zest for gambling finds other outlet.
Betting on horse races and most everything else is rampant
: here. One man said a gambling spot was as close as a taxicab
that is any cab could take you quickly to a bookie which
mightibe to the nearest cigar store. Mayor Kelly tried to le
galize gambling by ordinance but Gov. Horner enforced state
law and knocked out the ordinance. But no one enforces the
law against gambling. In fact it is conducted openly and no
toriously with the favor of the Keily-Nash political machine
which dominates Chicago politics. S
This machine is said to be worse than Bill Thompson's
machine ever was, though it presents a more respectable
front so the city doesn't feel the sting of ridicule it did under
"Big Bill." j

Had an interesting hour today with William Hard, secre
- tary of the program committee of the Republican party. He
reports the committee is really working and plans to develop
from a study of needs and of the attitudes of people all over
the country, a declaration of policy which will offer a real ap
peal to the voters of the country. It is not being hurriedly
drafted but will be aimed for the 1940 elections. J :

Address of the day 6-21-38
on the occasion ot the ; j :

:
The writer of this column,: by
invitation of the committee; in
charge of the arrangements, gave
the address of the day in the pub
lic park there on tne occasion' of
the fourth, annual Sheridan day
celebration in the beautiful and
enterprising Oregon city of that
name, on Saturday, Jane 18 last.
The address, which. wUl be sup
plemented with some additloaal
tacts not heretofore published,
follows: . j
v L
Franklin Fierce, president of
the United States, took office
March 4, 1853, to serve a four
year term, and the following day
he appointed Jefferson Daria sec
retary of war. We seem a little
nearer to the scene when we re
alize that President pierce was a
second cousin of our own Walter
M. Pierce, governor, congressman,
neighbor. Walter's father was a
cousin of the president.
Davis had bis faults, and as
president of the Southern Confed
eracy was In the north one of the
most cordially hated men of his
time, s A popular song current
above the Mason and Dixon line
breathed words about hanging
Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree.
But Davis was one of the distin
guished scholars of his genera
tion, and while he served as sec
retary of war his vision was clear
on the importance of the expan
sion, of the United States In ter
ritory and the development of jits
abounding resources.'
H j
He saw the necessity of a rail
road connecting the section drain
ing into the Pacific with the conn
try east of the Rockies. In "1855
he sent a surveying party to trace
out a route for such a system, ex
tending also to the Columbia
river.
That surveying party furnished
the city of Sheridan its name. It
was this way: Lieut. John B.
Hood of the U. S. Army, after
ward a leading Confederate gen
eral, had charge of the military
escort for the surveyors, and,,1 up
on Philip H. Sheriday'a first pro
motion, from a brevet to a i full
second lieutenant, he was as
signed duties with toe company
Hood was serving, to relieve the
last - named officer so that he
might be sent to another station.
S V
Young Sheridan caught up with
his new company on the Klamath
river, having traveled from New
Mexico back to New York City,
thence by way of the Isthmus of
Panama to San Francisco, and fin
ally on horseback to overtake his
contingent. So Hood turned south
and Sheridan came north.
The triple goddess of fate was
in that year playing strange
games with these three men, Dav
is. Hood and Sheridan. The un
stable and tricky dame was. In
the, -year eighteen hundred and
fifty-five, mixing potent medicine
for the trio, destined to direct
them into ways and stations be
yond their wildest imaginings.
W .
That was a fateful time. It was
the year in which the Indian
tribes from the Missouri to the
Pacific ghost danced themselves
into a league to destroy the whole
white race and thus stop the cov
ered wagon immigration into the
westernmost West. A rather large
order, an ambitious undertaking,
you will say. Yes, and fantastic
But it was serious, as you j must
conclude when you realize: that,
though at least 50,000 eager, anx
ious westward looking people
were ready at Missouri river
points to start that year, only two
wagon trains with about 250 peo
ple each passed the cordon of
warning U. S. dragoons and head
ed for the far away sundown
land and only one got through;
the other was all but "spurlos ver
senkt" (sunk without a trace), as
the German U boat commanders
were proud to report during the
World war; that is utterly rubbed
out, destroyed, excepting only wa
gon and , other Irons that would
not burn. The cavalcade " which
came through unscathed was led
by a plains hearse, the only like
company seen in that vast! west
ward moving host of 350,000
souls on the most remarkable trek
in history, from 1839 to .18S9.
when the golden spike linking the
Union -and Central Pacific rail
roads was driven at Promontory
Point, at the north end of Great
Salt Lake; a weary march that
left more than 30,000 trekkers in
unmarked graves along the 2000
mile old Oregon trail.
The records of the so-called
Yakima and Rogue River Indian
tial villages along the lake, with dinner at an interesting spot
in one of them, gave a very agreeable conclusion to our brief
stay here, and we leave now for the train for home.

Senator Copeland Dies .
Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York died the day
following adjournment of the 75th congress, in which he was
often a dramatic figure. A democrat associated with the Tam
many group in New York City, he was one of the leaders in
the party revolt against certain new deal measures, including
court packing and the reorganization bill, and more recently
he fought for the earmarking of at least some portion of the
funds provided in the spending bill.
Senator Copeland was noted not only for his legislative
work; he was a recognized authority In his profession as a
physician, and rose to prominence in that field rather than
in the realm of politics. It was his fame as "a physician, as
health commissioner of New York City and as a public health
advisor through his syndicated column, which assisted him in
his later political career. s " ;
Given to the dramatic and not always predictable. Sen
ator Copeland's virtues included his fearless independence
and that rarity in New York City politics, a viewpoint that
was national rather than sectional. It was Senator Copeland
who led the fight recently for a definite appropriation ' for
flood control which, had it been successful, would have in
sured early, extensive work on the Willamette JValley pro
ject. In this matter. Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon
was doubtless a silent partner-silent so that partisanship
would not enter into the earmarking issue.
Senator Copeland's death adds one more to the list of
senatorial election battles which the nation will face this
year. - i
wars (which were much more)
contain a letter of Jefferson Dav
is. U. S. secretary of . war, to
George I Curry, governor of
Oregon Territory. The letter from
the secretary to the chief execu
tive states that he is transmitting
a copy of a "report from Colonel
Buchanan, showing the disposi
tion made of the troops for the
protection of the reservation,"
(meaning the Coast reservation).
and saying that "the troops, thus
posted, are considered sufficient
for the object contemplated."
(That object being the protection
of the white settlers and keeping
the Indians- within bounds and in
training for citizenship in civilized
society.)
j ' m m
: The Buchanan report was dat
ed September 1, 1856, and, after
saying he submitted it to .Gover
nor Curry to show "the measures
taken to secure the safe keeping
of the Indians on the Coast reser
vation.' Davis wrote:
J "The reservation is 125 miles
long and about 25 wile bounded
on the west by the Pacific ocean
and on the east and north by the
Coast range of mountains which
are said to touch the coast at the
northern extremity. . , . . There
are as yet, from the existing set
tlements, known but three passes
over ; the mountains one toward
the northeastern extremity from
he town: of Dayton; another to
ward the middle, near the town of
Corvallis, and the third at the
other extremity Immediate
ly along the coast.
"At these three points I have
ordered three new posts to be es
tablished and garrisoned, as fol
lows:..: i "At the first, two companies,
Capt. A. J. Smith's 1st dragoons
and Capt. D. Floyd Jones' 4 th in
fantry. This post will be sup
plied from Fort' Vancouver, by
means l of steamboats to Dayton,
from which it is distant 25 miles."
(That was of course what became
Fort Yamhill.) '
"At tne second, one company,
Capt. C. C. Augur, 4th infantry.
This will also be supplied from
Vancouver, by way ot Corvallis,
about 25 miles, to which point
steamboats are running regular
ly." : (That was of course Fort
Hoskins, named for Lieut. Charles
Hoskins. killed at the battle of
Monterey. Mexico, Sept. 2, 1846.)
; "The third, one company, Capt.
& Bvt. Major J. F, Reynolds, 3rd
artillery, which will be supplied
from San Francisco, by way of
the mouth of the Umpqua, from
whirh it is distant about 20
miles." (That was Camp or Fort
Umpqua.)

WHOSE RECESSION?
Salem, Ore., June 20, '38.
To the Editor:
I was reading an article in the
Oregonfan a few weeks ago writ
ten by a lady up Portland way and
among the statements she made
was one that the reason the farm
ers were in such a plight was the
fact that the Hoover depression
got them down and as this reces
sion was just a continuation of
the Hoover depression they had
been unable to get on their feet
again.
This being the case Mr. Hoover
most have been a much smarter
man that most people give him
credit for. It he could create a
depression all over the world and
then keep it going this long in the
USA while other countries have
crawled out from under Its influ
ences, and in which the best
brains of the democratic party, of
tbis country, and 25 or 30 billions
of dollars besides the taxes, hav
en't been able to make a dent, as
conditions are worse today than
then, then It seems like maybe it
might.be a good Idea to turn it
over to Mr.. Hoover again as he
couldn't possibly have done worse.
Another thing, this Isn't a de
pression now; it's a recession. And
I presume this word recession was
derived from the word recess, a
time when everyone quits working
and thinking and goes out to play.
Or maybe from recess, meaning a
hole aa we hare been going In the
hole ever since.
And the word New Deal is a
misnomer, some say It should be
Gnu Deal as It has but like a Jack
ass and horns 'like the devil, pre
tends , to be democratic while
horning - into everyone's business.
But X don't think Nude 1 Deal
would be out of place for a name,
as nude means stripped ot rai
ment or bare, and as far as I know
everyone seems to be pretty well
stripped.

Interpreting the News
By MARK
WASHINGTON. June JO
Some weeks ago AAA bought
some cabbage in .North Carolina,
There is an account "in the Twin
City Daily Times of Morehead
and Beaufort. I quote and part
ly paraphrase:
"The price for cabbage was
adarnced from $8 to 3? a ton
on the Carteret county market
today. Tons of the crop were
inspected by.- government rep're
sentatlves, loaded on freight cars,
a l then rolled on to other Sec
tions of the country for con-,
s mption. " '
"The price Preceding the gor
e" Tient purchases, was 38 a
ton. In that condition leading
citizens of Beaufort telegraphed
their; congressman at Washing
t.n. Graham A. Barden. Con
g is8ma Barden's action was
immediate. He wired back to
:--th Carolina: 'Surplus conv
n o d i t i e s corporation (AAA)
have increased cabbage price
from 38 to 39 per ton. Wish it
could hare been made more bat
authorities here state they are
trying to push the price up 'and
are in hopes that their enter
ing the market will result In
increased prices.' "
That Is a plain, straight tale.
The Twin City Daily Times was
writing for its local commune
ity, the sellers -of cabbage, and
could be frank. - .The purpose of
AAA' purchase was to raise the
price of cabbage, and It was
done, and the Twin City Daily
Times said so..
Turn now to another account
of AAA purchase of cabbage.
This account is giTen by AAA
itself in an announcement at
Washington. This AAA account
could not be as . candid as. the
local newspaper account. AAA
was obliged to be cagey. Its
announcements may be read by
consumers. It WouM hardly do
to tell consumers that AAA is
raising prices. AAA could hard
ly tell the general public what ;
Congressman Barden said it told
him, that it was "trying to push
the price up."
AAA must clrcumlocute, and
tergiversate, a n d euphemize.
The AAA announcement says:
"Approximately 11,000 tons of
early cabbage, costing about j
3128.300 has been purchased by

chase program, the agricultural
adjustment aministration an
nounced today s . . The pro
gram was designed- to assist
growers by removing excess sup
plies from normal trade chan
nels. The cabbage bought by
the corporation, amounting to
915 carloads, has been distrib
uted to needv people through
state relief agencies ... As a
result of thi purchases, AAA
officials point ('out. needy people
have benefited by a fresh green
food not otherwise available to
them and much waste has been
avoided. Due lso to the Influ
ence of the purchase program, a
better quality of cabbage has
been marketed Gin regular chan
nels, they assjert. . Supplies after
making purchases for-relief dis
tribution are adequate to take
care of the commercial demand
and assure consumers of a full
supply at reasonable prices."
AAA, the reader will observe,
does not say the purchase was
to "push the price up." It was
"to assist growers by removing
excess supplies from normal
channels." And for other
laudable purposes. "
Doubtless it's quite all. right.
Doubtless there may be no jus- '
tification for, telling the story
here, except perhaps as an In
teresting example of AAA's In
genuity with (words. Maybe It's
good for a smile, and a smile Is
worth any cost these days. " - .
There is oiie point, however,
which may interest the taxpayer
and not cause him to smile.
The cabbages were turned over
"to needy people through state
relief agencies." One wonders
a little Sihce the taxpayers'
money is to - be used, to relieve
the needy, might not the ad
ministration buy the food at the
market price Tj If the government
money . were given to the needy,
the needy wjquld certainly not
deliberately piy "more than the
market price or their food.
It is not merely cabbage. AAA
is buying all 1 sorts of foodstuffs
flour, eggs, potatoes, canned
peas, dry skim milk, apples,
grapefruit juice. ... AAA Is spend
ing millions I of dollars. 1 I do
not know what .7 prices1 AAA is
paying for aby other foodstuff"
I only iknow what is on record
about cabbage.
