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

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.

and that as such It has attracted
the attention -of many, cultured

not be lost to this generation,
and future generations.
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.
The second nlattlnr or Jf f.rl
sen, Hailroad addition, contains
If blocks. Those who Joined tn
piauing it were Jacob Conser.

Tbe White Paper -em- Palestlae
For a piece of dlsingennons
argument the latest. 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.

- Why did the British Empire
ever set up a homeland for the
Jews in Palestine? 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.
