Votes and Federal Bounty '
. Maine and' Vermont were the states that remained re
publican in 193G. Stanley C.Vilson, former governor of Ver
xnonth, was in Oregron this week. He said that his state was in
no danger of skidding into the new deal fold, but the signifi
cant part of his statement follows: "This j year the adminis
tration is showing signs of going to pour more money into
Vermont than ever before." . I
Jim Farley, in Salem some months ago, said the next
election was going to be unanimous, as far as state majorities
went. Now it is charged and for the sake of this discussion
it makes no difference whether you believe it or not that
the huge "spending" fund is being manipulated for political
benefit of the administration that has control of it.
Certain democratic candidates in Oregon, and their chief
backers, have openly used this idea as" a threat that if Ore
gon wants federal funds for its projects, the voters of Oregon
must vote democratic. Now if this is merely an idle threat, if
in fact the public's money that congress appropriated to
prime .the pump is being administered without discrimina
tion, then it doesn't make any difference how Oregon people
vote; they will get whatever projects they are entitled. to get,
regardless. . I
But if it is true that, these funds of the people are being
manipulated to win elections where are, they being spent?
-Surely not in the south, where tradition runnning back to the
days of the carpetbaggers decrees a democratic majority. No,
the money must be spent, if its use is to count politically, in
fhe doubtful states, and especially in the more-than-doubtful
states, where the jiew dealers are almost desperate. The more
nearly desperate, the more money must be poured in. -
If the voters in any state want to be "smart," they will
not vote democratic just to get some of that money next time.
This particular fund is being spent rapidly too rapidly
with a view to creatine artificial prosperity by election time,
Most of it will be allocated by that time. To be "smart," the
voters should vote republican, so that the new dealers will be
desperate and pour in more money next time. But we are not
advocating that they be "smart." Our only point is that they
can afford to remain independent and vote their convictions.
ignoring the influence of the campaign fund that they them
elves have provided. i

Spectators at Undeclared War
This business in the orient, which is not war but some
thing exactly like it, has been almost- unique in one respect-
unique except for similar events during previous undeclared
conflicts in the same area. The point is that neutrals are al
ways getting in the way. i
In those old-fashioned days when nations declared war
and then started fighting, the nationals of neutral nations
thereby received notice and got out of gunshot range. We still
recall the flood of American tourists that exuded from Ger
many and France at the opening of the World war.
Many Americans and other neutrals have departed from
the war zone excuse it, trouble zone in China, but many
others have stayed and insisted upon the safeguard of their
residences, businesses and recreation paths. Technically, they
re within their rights--there is no war. ) Their complaints
And demands have impeded the Japanese at times, and that is
' ll right from the viewpoint of most Americans. They would
like to see the Japanese impeded.
Just at present there is a sort of crisis involving the
fight of an American gunboat to navigate the Yangtze; but
these incident? are interminable. Some day there may occur
one which cannot be patched up. It appears, that some new
clauses of international law are going to be necessary, to cov
er the etiquette of undeclared war. Meanwhile, if some of the
obstinate foreign spectators will make discretion the better
part of curiosity, it will be healthier for them and for world
peace. There is no war, but certainly there are bullets.
Corrigan Cashes in! i
So Douglas Corrigan is going to be featured in a motion
picture dramatizing his wrong-way flight; and strange to
relate, some people are saying he s going' the wrong way
again. If he remained sternly aloof from commercialism.
ihey argue, he might enjoy a future .similar to the career of
Charles A. Lindbergh although Lindy, as, we recall it, some-
iiow acquired a fortune rather soon after his more celebra
ted exploit. ' !i
? The analysis appears to be faulty. Cor rigan's flight was
jt whimsical affair, typically Irish. One of the s factors that
caused it to catch the public fancy was that little fib about
the compass. Lindy would never have been the modern Amer
ican hero if he had told a fib. Corrigan is dramatic but his
very nonchalance bars him from being hefoi
Why the objection to cashing in? A famous golfer who
steadfastly remained an amateur was found the other day to
be destitute. They gave him a benefit; sold his only remaining
club, a mashie, of the famous set that he used in competition,
at an auction but required that the purchaser put it in a mu
seum. Isn't it better that Corrigan set himself up for life now,
