' ."-.;.: -v''.- Ho : td view of some of the dainis and some of the persons "smeared" by the Dies committee last year, there may be i doubt in some quarters of the authenticity of the present re o port- but there actually is no .room for such doubt, since Gen. . Moseley has admitted the charge-in the process of defending his position. Although vague, his statement reveals that he and his organization are, in the name of "Americanism," fighting some variety of "internationalism or Zionism. Not being on Gen. Moseley mailing list, we have no ink- .ling as to the nature of this asserted menace. Presumably since his group has circulated the propaganda of previously- , recognized Jew-baiters, it is disseminatinar the same old ex ploded myths the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion." the charge that Jews are the leaders of communism in Russia, 'that Jews in the United States are plotting to do thus and P(i,,. Moseley also mentions an effort to "keep the United ' 1 1 f. States out of war." The obvious implication there is just log n - ical enoueh to be dangerous. No Jew in the United States r" 'has any use for Hitler and his riazi government. It would not be difficult to suggest that they would favor this nation's en try into a World war against the nazis. But the same might be said of the Americans of Czech .'"' ents come from England. France, Poland or any country which might linejip a?ainst Germany in such a war if it oc " curs. In such event there. wilL', inevitably, be such inherited h. loyalties, tendinsr to draw the '" ibut they will by no means be 71 'of those ancestries. It will simDly be the job of level-headed v Americans to see that these loyaltieis do not' stampede the . nation into war. A i As for "Zionism" as a world-wide political movement or jdream of empire, it is as much a myth as the "Elders of Zion" p who did not issue the "protocols" because they the elders never existed. Recently quite recently the Jews of the United States have managed to effect a Joose sort of unity lIn the matter of assisting opuressed members of their rac .... -f in Eurore? and in helping to promote the settlement in Pales tine. All this ha been done ODenlv and le& jtf . But the Jews in the United States jare Jibpelessly divided l.-pn.most other questions. There are three distinct srouns from 4. racial standpoint: those who arrived from Soain or Holland in our colonial period, the wave of immigration from Ger TVnany in the 19th century, the wave from Russia in the tres nent century. In general, each group gets along with peonle of jDther faiths better than they get along with each other. Like rVise there are three distinct ctouds from. the standpoint of treligjon--orthodox.' conservative and modern, p ; :How could such a divided neonle be "plotting" some dire fate for the United States? Havinsr posed the question, we f must now await the revelations of the Moseley groun-after one more general observation : No attack upon a racial or re-Ivlifnous-'group can ever be validly defended,, in . the name of San Francisco Reiects Public. Ownership Riffht in the center of the Ham and Ecirs country, pub- it l lie power advocates in San Francisco could muster only 49. 843 votes for a municipal ownership proposition. The ad- A'erse vote was 121,895: but imore significant, for it probably represents the full extent of mvid enthusiasm for the project : many of the opponents doiibtlessVneglectedto gotothepoHs. ; ' L. 1 The San Francisco public power issue had some unusual angles. The Hetch Hetchy plant j been taken, already belongs to t , sold to a private power company which distnbutes it in San ' Francisco. Secretary Ickes voiced violent protest against this state of things, so contrary to his main thesis: it was charged that. he virtually boycotted San Francisco in the matter of federal patronage; also the government has sued the city, al- legmg violation of the Kaer act. The case has not been tried. Behind all thisT pressure from federal agencies was the cir cumstance, that the government, had put up a large share of the cost. Governor Olson. Mayor Rossi and other high offi , rials urged. support of the public ownership plan, some of them usinc the argument that the city was honor-bound to carry out the project as the government intended. 4 Thus it would seem that there were many factors favor ting approval of municiDal ownership. On the other hand, the ballot issue involved a bond issue of S55.000.000 for purchase of the privately owned system. These were to be revenue (bonds, as is provided in Oregon's new PUD law. Considerable of the opposition centered among home owners who were re ported to have felt the debt, would impair the city's credit All of the reasons why Sad the proposition so decisively be the painful record of Hetch Hetchy project to date it cost several, times the original estimate and another mav be found in the personnel of the Others may include the difficulties of TV A and of Bonne- nlle. Resentment against Ickes attitude is probable. What ever the factors, the voters of San FwndsccvaDiarentlv un der the most favorable of conditions, have rejected municipal ownership for the eighth successive time in 12 years. ' - ' Wet Weather Thoughts : Actually, the people of the Willamette valley weren't much worried about a long dry spell this spring. On the theory that what goes up must come down, they knew it had to rain jometimeJ Eariy last week when the mercury hiked un there to set an all-time May heat record.

Jacob ' Conser, builder and owner of the old house and chief boniface there in the period of its pristine glory, had k .colorful career. -v V . A biographical sketch of 'John A. Conser, one of his sons, tells tbtt Jacob was born In Centre county, Pa., of poor parents, who followed the ancient custom ' of binding out their children ' at an early age. This was the fate of Jacob, who rebelled at his bond age, and, without bidding fare well to his family or master; left his natire heath and in derious ways worked his way -to . Illinois, where he became a millwright and finally ran a sawmill and ether wise engaged in business till . 1848. when, with his wife and children, he started across the plains to Oregon. .Besides nousenoid . posses ions he had a wagon with , several yoke of oxen, two cows, and two steers. On the Platte rirer he lost, his oxen, in a stampede, and was obliged to complete his journey with the two steers and two cows. s s s That year he bought a claim near Scio, but changed to the site of Jefferson, getting 320 acres there in 1849, and later enough to make up 640 acres. In 18 S3 he started a sawmill there, and a flouring mill In IS 58. He was one of the found ers- of the town of Jefferson: with J. M. Bates laid but the blocks and lots and named and dedicated the streets.! S 1 He was the first; ferryman, had what had been named the Conser ferry. ' It was suggested tfcat the town be named either for him or for I Mr. Bates, but. both men being modest, they decided to make: it Jefferson, for the great democrat (with a lower case d), the man with the universal mind,! author of the Declaration of Independence. ILI-J . , . : loiru president or the united States. Jacob Conser and wife had 10 children growing to matur ity, eight sons and two daugh ters; enough to start a fair sized hotel. He was in the first ter ritorial legislature held in Sa lem, the session of 1851-2, also in that of 1855-6. He was a Marlon county com missioner; a director of the Jefferson Institute, intended to be a branch school for Willam ette university; a director of the pioneer railroad company that became the Oregon A California line of Ben Holladay, then the Southern Pacific. , His son, "Shan," one of the most popular men of the Oregon ! of his day, was one of the two first passen ger train conductors in Oregon East Portland to Roseburg. - If the walls of the old home and hotel could talk, they might tell tales of the old days that would make an interesting book. This writer, when he can find the time, will undertake to col lect some of those tales. The Conser Jamlly was an interest ing as well as a Urge one. Mrs. i Jacob Conser was born in Richmond ' eounty, - Ohio, July 31- lllz; they were married in Illinois February J8, 183f. She died April 38, 1I7S, at Walla Walla, -Wash., while visiting a sister there. The original town of Jeffer son was platted Mune 1, J 8f S, by Jacob Conser and J. U. BaUs; 10 blocks, some having as many as IS lots each. The land platted was in the donation land claims of the two founders ot me town.

British gov ernment White Paper, detailing plans for tbe future of Pales tine, deserves to rank with the late Runclman report by- which the British gov ernment t pre sented ! a : lony arcument f for whitewashing terror rand " prs parlng j tha way for the ruthless con oaest of Cseche - Clova- JV Xhsapssa kla. The administration of Pales tine has become a headache, be cause terrorist Arab gangs, ma nipulated by unprincipled lead ers living oft forced subscrip tions from poor aVrabs and, sup ported b German and Italian agents, have . been stirring up risings. The t authority for this state ment is not any Jewish commit tee, but is the British war ui tice which, in January, 131. gave out a ten-page press re lease on the subject to the news papers. " j; ' . According to this report the -Arab iTebelUon" In Palestine is actually limited "to 1.000 o 1.500 men, split up into small bodies . . . and forming the permanent nuclei ot rebel gangs. These small parties are rein forced by temporary detachments ot armed fellahin (Arab peas ants) . .. In parts of the coun try . . . definite detachments with leaders and a quota of arms are in existence. ElBewhere villagers are pressed into ser vice by the permanent gangs... combining by night for sniping and sabotage which have be come' a recognized remunerative racket. . . . The general policy la more or less directed by the Mufti and the Higher Arab Committee, but within Palestine the gang leaders are practically Independent. . . . Tne two prin cipal leaders are Abdul Rahim el Hal Mahomed . . . and Aref Ab dul Razzik. . . . These two lead ers are on such bad terms that on more than one occasion open hostilities hay almost broken out between them. . . . 'The former has endeavored to conduct his campaign on de cent' lines and dislikes , the cam paign i of assassination and in timidation waged against all moderate Arabs who might op pose the Mufti's policy. . . . 'The second is enureiy un principled, i He consequently en joys the complete confidence of the rebel leaders outside Pales tine and is their principal agent in ' maintaining the terrorist grip on the Arab population. In cidentally, he pockets a large rakeToff from forced subscrip tions to rebel funds. . . . The lower class of terrorist- 'thugs' who by assassination, abduction and intimidation ot all sorts maintain a grip of terror on the population. ... The power of the rebellion and the safety of its supporters depend, on the terrorism imposed on the population by the man with the gun. . . . Even in the large towns there is little sign that the educated classes com bine to give support to the gangs. . . . Owing to terrorism they are supported by the rest of the population, etc., etc." Now, the British White Paper justifies its Palestine measures on the ground that it is taking account of the national feelings of the Arab population, although the War Office report, which I hare just quoted, indicates that the Arab population has nothing to say about anything, but is being systematically terrorized by small j groups of political gangsters. And the result of this cam paign of terror is that with a lot of weasel words the British gorernment abandons any hope of ever making a real national home for the Jews in Palestine and assures the Arabs that for ever they shall have a two-thirds majority of the population. 1:45 Singer. 2:00- Science in tha 'News. 8:151 Lore a Mystery. 2:30 Woman's Msgssme. 8 :00 Orchestra. 3:15 Singer. 3:80 News. 8 : 50 Orchestra. 4:15 Fashions ia Harmony. 4:80 Soag Sheet 5:00 Sura af Today. 5:30 Orchestra. 6:80 Studio Party.

Out of hu manitarian . sympathies? Certain ly not. ' ' ' ;,. ; ' From 1114 to lilt Great Brit ain, was involved in a war. One of her. opponents in that v ar was Turkey, which ruled Pales tine, and which during the war was the base of large Turkish forces which occupied Sinai and made two major attacks on the Sues Canal. - Palestine had already been partially settled t by Zionists. Be cause of Its Important strategi cal position. Britain was very anxious to get it, and a few dis tinguished aad able Jews notably assisted England to realize this aim, asking, in return that the British.-, give them aa opportun ity at long last to have a home of their own and a chance, to demonstrate . to the world that the Jews could build up a civilization . of their own. The Jews in Palestine num bered 75,000 in 1919. They now number about 450,000. They have invested in" Palestine hun dreds of millions of dollars do nated by people of their race from all parts of the earth. They have developed beautiful agricultural settlements, Luilt fine cities, constructed roads and for the sake ot building this national homeland Jewish youth. many of whom hare had aca demic degrees, have turned themselves into stonebreakers and farmers. They have demonstrated that Jews are not born to be ped dlers or intellectuals or bankers, out can be excellent farmers. They have made a splendid uni versity. And they have not ousted any Arabs from Palestine. On the contrary, whereas there were 600.000 Arabs in Palestine in 1919, there are now 900.000. They have not expropriated any Arab land. They have bought it and their immigra tion has raised land prices. No Arab has been compelled to sell an inch of land. He has been glad to sell it, for more money than he ever dreamed of hav ing. The Jews have paid taxes to the British government; they have developed the mandated territory; their presence there has protected the British oil pipe line from Iraq; and they hajfi believed that Britain would back them up to the point where, eventually, by purchase and development. they -rould win this tiny snot of the esrth for themselves. There Is still more land of fered to them, by Arabs, than they have funds to pay for. 9 W 9 One can debate whether the Jews have any right in Pales- (Turn to page 6, col. 2) Why Un milt more antf N'tl f propostde ROMANCE if tie KI8HWAT 19:18 to 10:30 A.
