Not in the Hands of one Man In a world apparently rushing pell-mell to war. where rn.. u.m. longed peace not more than one Premier Colijn of Holland is heartening. As his country rig orously prepared lor possible invasion from Germany, the premier stated: "I advise all not to be unduly anxious. Hu manity's destiny is not in the bands of one man, but in the hands of God Almighty. We shall not be blown like reeds in the wind." For some time we have wondered if Adolf Hitler was the Napoleonic conaueror in the 20th century which his successes of the last two years have made t pt namfsenllincr. tvranie races courage. They are the defense mechanisms of a bully.

Some newspaper editors were enterprising enough to look up the background of the Duchess de Talleyrand as her name appeared on the ship's list. Sure enough, it was Jay Gould's daughter who to the generation of the Spanish-Am erican war epitomized the quest a title. A bit jaded and certainly is glad after all these years to 'the caldron of European war and all, to find rest and peace estate she is buying up the Hudson. Miss Gould was the "Babs" Hutton of the '90 s, pam pered. overlv rich, socially ambitious. She met the Count Boni de Castellane in Paris and in. United States to marry herThe wedding of the Gould mil lions and a French title elicitated much comment, mostly un favorable.-;. -y--'v V-.o- j The love match turned out bogus ; in 1906 the duchess sued for a divorce and the resulting fight over their three children recalled that the French count had run through with $3,000,000 in nine years 600.000 in addition. Anna Gould married again but the wedding brought no great' happiness. She and hef brother have lingered- on in Paris, self-exiled Americans who contributed nothing to the country where fortune had smiled on their scheming father . Persons such as Miss Gould speed a democracy to well- nigh confiscatory taxes on inherited wealth. If speculatively woh millions are going to be well go through the federal and accounts of foreigners whose silly vanities of our Anna Goulds. Legal Legerdemain - The United States supreme court, in a history-making decision, has upheld marketing quotas for agricultural, prod ucts moving- in inter-state commerce. Previously the court bad ruled that imposition of al products, with the prime purpose the regulation of pro duction: was unconstitutional. In short, a farmer can raise all ;he pleaies of any crop. Let him try to sell it and the govern ment can fix a quota for marketing which he cannot exceed. . The decision is a fine example of legal legerdermain. The end result of the marketing auota act now in force is precise ly the same as that of the production. The AAA act did directly reimbursed 'the treasury for agricultural subsidies. how aid to the farmer comes funds and deficit. The court's findings clear the way for widespread con trol of production in all lines by the federal government If the congress is enabled to put quotas on cropsbecause they are sold in interstate commerce it must have a similar right to quota the production of shoes, or paper, or tractors. Given an NBA case clearly involving interstate commerce, the pres , ent court would probably give approval to laws which would enable all industry, with government regulation, to fix prices and production.'. r-4-,4,, n.- The court's decision unquestionably was made more easy by the presence of four New Deal appointees. They can be ex pected to stand for loose construction of the interstate com merce clause and a constant widening of the "stream of com merce theory" enunciated by Chief Justice Hughes in the Wagner act test case.

HENDRICKS Willamette river had 4-25-33 several ' names; . valley said Stuart, "delightful : : beyond expression," In 1812: b "k The Beautiful Willamette River" is - the title of a skit kindly sent by J. Nellson Barry, historian, to the Bits man. The matter under ine neaa line reads: ; "The Willamette river has two months, with Saurie's island be- tween them. It was discovered In 1712 by Lieutenant w. H. Brougbton, R-N-, of the Van couver expedition, who namea the northern mouth Call's river and the southern mouth River Mannings. The Indians named It Wil lamette, which is French rpell lns of ' name which has had innumerable spellings. The chan nel at the south end of Saurie's island waa known as Multnomah. uwu and Clark supposed that it was the name of the entire river, and therefore called it Multnomah. Alexander McKen sie of the Astorlan expedition the first explorer in and named it McKay's river, for Alexander McKay, who had ac companied Sir Alexander Mack enzie to Pacific tidewater in 1793 and subsequently became a partner of the Pacific Fur com pany and came to the Columbia In 1811. After helping to es tablish Fort Astoria, McKay went on the ship Tonquln and was murdered in the famous mas sacre. His son was Thomas McKay, who was very promi nent in early Oregon, and bis widow married Dr. John Mc Looghlln. She was daughter of a noted Swltziander. jonn Ste phen Wadin. 1 Franchere in his narrative erroneously stated that Robert Stuart had explored the Wil lamette, but the Journal of Stu art shows that It was the Cow litz that he explored, and that Donald Mackenzie was the first to explore the Willamette. 'McKenxie subsequently gave information ot the river -to the famous David Thompson, whose enormous map is now in the British Museum, and of which I have a copy. On it the river Is spelled Wil-ar-mut four times, and also once Wil-ar-but, and once Wll ar-mette. it extends over so much space that the name Is given In sis places. m V Across the central portion is written: The whole ot the river is in very beautiful and rich country and happy climate. 'That is unusual for maps, David Thompson obtained his in formation from Donald McKen- zie, wno also gave such an en thusiastic account to Robert Stuart of the Astoria expedition that Stuart wrote it on Jul? 3. 1812. , Stuart wrote that in July, 1812, the width of McKay's riv er, as he called the Willamette, was 600 yards from bank to bank, but that it was contracted to 100 yeards wide at the falls -wnere me waters rush over a perpendicular ledge of smooth rock, 30 feet high. It soon ex pands .to the same width as be- tow me xaiis and continues so for a great distance, till passing a number of tributary streams it becomes perceptibly reduced in size, wnere Mr. MCK.enzie was obliged to relinquish his enter prise on account of some sick ness among his men.' "The current is unbroken by rapids and descends with great velocity. The country nearly to the falls resembles that on the main river, but from then up ward It Is DELIGHTFUL BE YOND EXPRESSION ,V he said. The bottoms are composed oi an excellent sou thinly cov ered with cottonwood, black wal nut, birch, hazel, alder, white oaks, and ash. The adjoining hills are gently undulating, with a sufficiency of pines (no doubt mostly firs) to give variety to the MOST BEAUTIFUL LAND SCAPES IN NATURE. The bot toms are inhabited by innumer able herds of elk. and the up- Biggest and Smallest at Fair -v - Cowboy Ballad and midgets One' of the "largest attractions and same of the "smallest" are pictured together as Cowboy Dave Ballad, even-toot seven-inch western giant greets a group of midgets..

'"Few or no fish are found in ltsi waters above, and the salmon and sturgeon ascend no; farther than the foot of the falls. This want, however, ia well com pensated for by the incredible number of beaver who inhabit its banks, which exceeds, from all accounts, anything yet dis covered on either side of the continent of America.' " S S That same winter (after July, 1812), the Astors sent from As toria to the Willamette valley their clerks, William WaUace and J. C. Halsey, with 14 ien. and erected their fort on Wal lace prairie, first building' ot white i men in all the Oregon country outside of the vicinity ot Astoria. So originated the Wallace house and Wallace prairie, now the Bush headquarters farm, adjoining Salem on the north, running up to the land of the state school for the deaf. The same I winter, early 1813, the Astors sent Alfred Seton and John ! Reed (and the Dor ion Woman and her common law husband) to establish tbe lower Willamette Astor fort a mile and a half above the s 1 1 e of the Champoeg park monument. S Mr. Barry thinks the Cham poeg -j plant, from which Cham poeg (now Marion) county took its name, ought to be preserved, and probably developed as a fine edible food.

Senator -Rotoert f. Wagner ana uepreaenuttiTw Edith Noarsa Rogers " art re- spo n s i b 1 e for r the Introtincuon into congress of one of the most intelligent pieces of- Immigration legislation ever framed lav this country. Our previous legislation has been only 'va guely selective. Oar aaotas are Oentky established by a'' mathematical computation. But this bill would admit to the United Stales Im migrants of an age group which h precisely the one for which there Is a definite need, and the organisations supporting It are prepared to take care or every one ' of the Immigrants, so that nothing will be left to chance. It is. therefore, the first pun ned - Immigration which we have ever had and the revolutionary crisis In the world is responsi ble for it. The bill wonld permit a maxi mum ot twenty thousand children-refugees under the age ot fourteen to enter this country over two years' time and out side the quota, provided that the child welfare agencies which are organised in every state of this union are . prepared to find a home for each individual child. The little Immigrants would be selected by the American Friends Service Committee, the organisation of the Quakers, whose humanity coupled with hard common sense has given them aa amasing prestige in every country in tbe world. The child welfare agencies, who have already raised a re volving fund of a quarter of a million dollars, have no doubt on the basis ot surveys already made that they can place these children with foster parents able to care for them and educate them until they can earn a liv ing. The refuge problem is a world problem and the United States realised months ago that some thing constructive must be done about it in an intergovernmen tal fashion if it was not to add increasingly to world chaos. That was why the United States government initiated the Evlan conference, which led to the setting up of a permanent intergovernmental c o m m lttee. We are dealing with one of the greatest masa migrations in his- t o r y and a migration caused not by economic depression nor by national catastrophes but by artificial political measures. The Wagner-Rogers bill is a very small contribution to a so lution of a tiny segment of this problem which is now being dealt with by the British, French, Scandinavian and Dutch governments as well as by our own. But It Is a contribution which makes a great deal of sense, both from the humanitarian and from the practical viewpoint. For years the vital statisticians of this country have been point ing out that the falling birth rate is a cause for concern. This nation, occupying the better part of a whole continent, and con taining only a hundred and thir ty million people, is rapidly ceas ing to have an expanding popu lation, will soon have a stable one, and after that may be ex pected to decline unless there is fresh Immigration. Tbe average age ot the popu lation is increasing, and under the new old-age pension legis lation a large burden will have to be borne by the young. It Is also a very great question whether this halt in the expan sion of the population Is not re sponsible for many of our eco nomic ills since the number of people newly requiring the es sentials of life Is diminishing. Children under fourteen, therefore, fall into the age group which is most desirable for im migration, according to the vital statisticians. And coming to this country at an Impressionable age to be taken Immediately into American families, the assimila tion which usually takes two or three generations will be accom plished in one. Furtherf ore, the children available come from a much bet ter background than much ot our previous immigration. In the past the citizenship of this country .has been augmented by people who were unable to earn a living in their own homelands. The families, of these children have had enough health, compe tence and general ability to sup port themselves, and are would- be immigrants wholly because of political conditions artificially Imposed. Many of these chlldreu have been orphaned or half-orphaned by the German revolution, th en hare devoted parents who are willing to give up their children to foster parents " in a" distant country only because those chil dren have no chance eto grow up to be normal human . beings where they are. The testimony on this point at the hearing now going on in Washington from people who hare been in Germany and for mer Austria is impressive aad unanswerable,' Contrary to popular opinion, these children are by no means aU Jewish. It the bill passes. it Is the Intention of the com mittee to select children from various racial . and religious ca tegories so as to, get a balanced ratio and to select them all with a particular view to their health and Intelligence. ' ; There are Catholic children, Protestant children, ' Jewish children and others officially classified under the German Nuremberg laws as non-Aryan, although .they, may be only a quarter; Jewish and nave been brought up as Chris tians -for generations. f : The Austrian children, and particularly- the Viennese chil dren, are the products of one of the beat systems of, education which I have ever been familiar with. Since they are to be placed in American homes, the Ameri can Friends Service committee which will make the selection will be forced to pay special at tention to the kind of human material they are taking. And because the whole project ia planned from start to finish, the children can be placed in the most desirable areas from a population viewpoint. They will be scattered through all the states. That they will find homes Is I think unquestionable, in lew of the fact that there are in this country at any moment far more homes desirous of t king children' thsn there are children to till the demand. This fact will be vouched for by an of the adoption agencies. Also, tbe experience of the child welfare agencies in placing American children from institu tions or disrupted families In foster homes has been highly en couraging. The home Is care fully selected in the first place, and the child is followed up for five years. In 8 per cent of cases the adjustment between the child and the family ia com pleted satisfactorily; and these children start out by being so cial cases and present certainly as many. If not more, problems than will these immigrant chil dren who are perfectly normal and have been brought np in a perfectly normal environment j-S far as their own homes are con cerned. The abnormality Is in the po litical and social environment. I see no conceivable reason, even from the most hard-boiled standpoint, why this bill should not be passed. Hundreds of so cial agencies are guaranteeing that these children will grow up In normal conditions and not be public charges. Unleas we are so utterly de featist as to believe that this country can no longer stand a normal addition to the younger age group, there is no conceiv able economic argument against it. And if we are that defeatist we had better prepare to make way for the dictators, who at least affirm life for their own tribes. I am leaving out of account in this argument all humanita rian considerations. although they are vital. It waa Walt Whitman who said: "The large ness of nature and this country would be monstrous without a corresponding largeness and gen erosity In the spirit of the clti sen," and in antithesis to the heroic principle as enunciated by the dictators he said that it was always hospitality that indicates heroes. The bill will be opposed by the timid, by those who think we live on a different planet from the rest of the world and that the whole earth can be chaotic without its affecting us, and it will be opposed by those who believe that the principles to which this country gives al legiance the ideals of liberty and human rights ceased to have validity along about 1781. The bill Is being supported by those who are hopeful and con fident of the future of this coun try and have put their Individual and organised effort behind mak ing the proposed legislation work out successfully In practice.
