The moral, as we see it at the moment, is to stop the threat ened longshoremen's and warehousemen's strike, or the equal ly rnmord employers , port closure, before either starts, by having both sides cooperate to the extent of allowing an arbitration board to settle the issues invohred in the 1940 contract. ,.v ,. r As matters now stand, coast waterfront employers have offered to renew the 1939 contract with the longshoremen exactly as is. The loitg Jwucmen, led by Harry Bridges, have indicated that they will hold out for. certain new amend tfnts. Tuesday sight Bridges came down flatfootedly with a statement that his side would not. submit its requests to Dean Wayne Morse of the Oregon law school for arbitration, but rather jvould continue on its own to negotiate a new agreement unaided. At this point, when an appreciable amount of time yet remains in which to settle the matter, such a decision is by no means unwarranted; yet if bickering is" to go on, and each side remains intransigent, the outcome fH hardly be favorable to negotiators or the prMic 4 Without attempting to pass on the relative merits of .either side, it nevertheless seems unfortunate that the matter 'could not at once go to a board of arbitration, especially when Dean Morse, the arbitrator, has already a distinguished rec ord in settling labor disputes. Naturally, each side anticipates losing certain of its points should this be allowed; yet it appears strongly that mutual concessions are vastly to be preferred to a closure of all ports or a general maritime strike. Certainly the public rarely consulted though it is, thinks so, and we are stronrlv inclined to grant its point. wSBSwaaaawBaBsaBBBBBBBBBaaBBBBBBeasBBaBa t . : Crawfishing in Utopia "But it litlk, deliberately tola to muddle tbe people's "mind, to say that- a non-aggression pact Between. Germany and the Soriet Union Is any barrier to a peace fromt. agaJast ag gressors, by Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, For a peace . 'front Is sot to attack Germ any, but to defend us signer against 'aggression from Cei assay or any other aomrea. ltili'a WerM. it Even with our muddy mind and all, it is still moderaterv amusing to watch the tortuous casuistry asd the not-too-weS-concealed side-winding to which the radical press has had to re3ort in the last few days since the Otymoians of the Krem lin decided to play ball with the Ogre of the Feldherrnhalle. The above excerpt from a communist paper is a fairly good example of the crawfishing which has suddenly become nec essary, and. is, incidentally, a worthv illustration of the con tempt in whkbjthe communists hold such stuffy, bourgeois faumsrs arcommon honesty and open-mindedness. , t: The radical interpretation of thetaost recent interna tional events is that for years the French and British have been trying to buv Hitler off by having him war wjth Russia for the Ukraine. The latest move, by this hypothesis, is that Hitler and Stalin have at last recognized the duplicity of this policy,- and have come together in love and amity to thwart it. Now, the American radicals state, the Daladier and Chamberlain cabinets, seeing that their game is lost, are forced to conclude their neace front with Soviet Russia with out more loss of time. "For a peace front is not to attack Germany, but to defend its signers against aggression from Germany.' Such an interpretation would be all very well were it not for a number of rather important fallacies. In the first place, the assertion that the new pact does not stand in the way of a British-French-Russian peace front is about as stupid as to sav that Hitler will take un professional football when he gets throusrh the present crisis if he does. Article fwy of the pact definitely forbids either power "associating with any other grouping of powers which directly or indi rectly is aimed at the other vartr. Hence the request for the room-rent check at the Hotel Metropole by the French British mission, whose efforts are now trrtauVnselessv Again, supposing a peace-front, through the duplicity of Stalin, to be 'signed: even then it would not protect the signers, as the Quotation states, but it would protect neutral states, like Poland, who are the victims of aggression on the part of the fascists. Russia would then fight Germany, and thus break another obligation." jrt By tomorrow some of the factors in the situation mav have changed, and certain points in this analysis be altered. ,Bul for the present, by knowledge now available, any at teftot to whitewash the Russian action as being on tbe side of it he democratic powers is an effort to call the wolf a Iamb of -incredible stupidity. ' ' ". ! U : v . v : 7- : . ; . g The Cloisters of St. Benedict -i There is hope, it seems to us, hi an armonncement which appeared in yesterday's paper. Today one reads, the news of European strife, which makes one think Of - all the feats of men, their passions, their hates, their disillasictv ment and their death, through all the ages. That London and Paris are blacked out and this time in honest fear that at last the bubble may burst, and hostile bombing planes actually appear off the Thames estuary, and over the hills of Montmartre is a fact which is felt in Salem with as much concern as in any other city of the United States, and ' indeed the world, since each nation, each state, each town knows that in some way its future will be vitally affected by the outcome of the next few days. Life goes on here and elsewhere today much as it did yesterday ; but in peoples' minds is the certain knowledge that the immediate future is less certain than it has been for many, many years. ' v Yet in the face of this, and almost certainly with no immediate consideration of the enmities of Europe, news carte yesterday that the Benedictine brotherhood ! oC ML Angel has gravely established a new abbey to join with the hundreds and hundreds of other Benedictine abbeys which for ages long hare been a sanctuary against the rages and torments of the world. f It is now much more than a thousand years since St. Benedict, in the quiet vineyards of Monte Casino hi Italy, enunciated the triple vow of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and; then set forth the equally important ''rule,' whereby holy men would occupy their hands with necessary works at the; same time that they sought inner peace; "AH through these thousand and more years the monasteries of St. Bene dict have continued to flourish providing stout- bulwark against the turmoils outside, and offering within a retreat in which , the light of learning and culture could be kept alive when all the rest of mankind were devoted to warring aad1nsJIce.e:VTvr-.::.-. i-'KS : It is! thus reassuring that at" a time when the' age-long - hitrcch cf men are being revived, that their age-long tribute t tblnss of a hisher. order can; also be paid, and ia coin 'wlli'h is equally as genuine as, and infinitely more" precious than, that which is the tender of secular governments and rulers. . . . -. -c-. ::-'; c-'Oi'rr : Oils for Crank teas t By SL J.

Germanr knows how deeply distrustful Russia is ot all western capitalistic states. Therefore, no long ago as last stay, and possibly earlier. Hen- rex KlBoenirop suggested mat frank and realistic nrooosals be made to Moscow. Hitler, of course, detuned to bo openly identified with this (Am k wtilrsi tha sracf arain- ista, lncrading Herr Hhnmler, the head or tne secret pouee, were wedded, but he told them to pro ceed, and if their achievements were saeceesxai tney wouia do in dorsed by hiss. Herr ven Ribbentrop took the attitado at tho outset that the German and Soviet regimes could not, of course, bo real friends. But, they argued, neither could the Soviets be real friends with the western capitalist states, par ticularly with tho British govern ment, headed by Mr. Chamber lain. They suggested to the So viets a three-point program: a trade agreement; a mutual non sggxesslon pact that the two na tions under no circumstances would go to war against each ether; and aa agreement regard ing the Baltic states. I am quite sure that all three points have been achieved, or will he, by Mr. Ribbentrop in Moscow. Whether the last point will take the form of an eastern Locarno, by which both nationa guarantee tho Bal tic states, or whether it will take the form of an agreement about spheres ot influence In the Battle states by which Russia Is given Esthoaia snd possibly Latvia is a nice question. aaa Meanwhile, whllo tho radical group in Germany was making this "realistic approach to the Soviet anion, deepening in tho Soviets the fear of Mr. Chamber lain, the "conservative" group in Germany was making a similarly realistic approach to Great Bri tain. They were telling tho Brit ish that 'the radical element among tbe German nsxis was be coming extremely strong; that the financial situation of Ger many was such that unless it were helped Germany would blow up in chaos and Bolshevism, and they were proposing a great gen eral "appeasement." This appeasement was to take the form of a "new and better Versailles." England was to giro Germany a big loan; there was to bo a "gradual unscrambling of arma ments;" both countries were to 12:45 Steptnotker. 1 :00 Scstiercaod Baiees. 1:15 Dr. Oeesa. 1:30 Sinain' Sam. 1:45 Organist, 5:00 Fletcher Wiley. 3:15 Hello Acaha. 2:45 Davfa Caa Xstchee. 3 :00 Kewaaaaas s4 tha Air. 4.-00 Karas at Play. 4:30 etaeews. 4:45 Daaei 5:00 Prate 5:30 rtsst Xisfctas-. 60 Ursa Central Sfsttew. 6:30 Batiste It ov Bet. :00 Aasoa 'a Aady. 7:15 Parker PsaaUy. 7:30 Jotaray Praaraca. 8:00 I Wast s Diverts. 8:15 Littls Show. 8:30 Hewa swat BewWesv 8:45 HeaassT Street. 9:15 Orchestra. 9:45 ruaraa Balletis. 10:00 rre Besr rieal 10:15 StgMcaat Tarns. 10:30 OresasSrs.

American financiers , partici pated in these dtensnioxa. Their business waa to get the American government to join in the plan. Some inkling of it got oat when the conversations between Herr Wohltat and Mr. Badson became known. Some fxkilas; of it was implicit in any number of things that have happened. For instance,, one may well ask why the British were so anxious to hand ova r Cxechoslo vakia ' gold to Germany; or -.why they brought pressure on the French to return the Spanish gold to Franco when there wag a dis tinct probability that Franco might use it to pay his debts to the Italians and tho Germans; or why the British hare been send ing enormous shipments of basic war materials for armament pur poses rubber, tin. copper to the depletion of their own sup plies, to Germany in the last days. (This tact has at last bees reported by both The New Tork Times" and tho New Tork Herr aid Tribune la this country.). ' 9 e a The British anxiety for a gen eral deal has been due in part to their own financial situation. Starting rearmament with an enormous national debt, and hav ing to increase it drastically, with a largo purchasing power among the masses, die to social services and wage agreements, and with the resources of the nation being suddenly and drastically canalized into capital goods awsy from consumer goods, tho British gov ernment has been in terrible fear of aa inflation, without being in possession of tho means to at least" keep it hidden which, a to talitarian state has. So while having given unilat eral military guaranties to Pol and, and Rumania, and Greece, and Turkey, British leaders have been negotiating with Germany for s vast economic deal impli cating everybody. They have thought that their own rearmament and the menace of war woald make it possible for them to mane a deal by compro mise la which Britain and France, her satellite, would have something to say about the terms. Well, the result Is the place where the world s t a n d s this morning, if the world really knows where it stands. aaa Either a titanic deal is on to which even Russia may be a Party or Britain is In tbe most appalling dilemma imaginable. She has guaranteed to go to war if Poland decides to fight. Poland must either tight or perish, un less some great deal is ia the offing. The critical point is still Dan xig. If the Germans take Dan rig and fortify it, it will mean that not a single Polish soldier can stay in Pomorze, the so-called Corridor. The new German ar tillery can cover tho entire Cor ridor from both sides. Poland will lose her outlet to the Bal tic and the Gdynia-Silesia rail road, and that will mean that her STARTS raTlTf Si -V 7K 1 fl' I ,0 1 JUDY SA,1LAnD i 17A Y Rfll RFR i; BERT LAIIR JACK HALEY ; SJme v Brxrasrat -- Casrfey economic life blood will be drain ed and her vital industries south and east ot Warsaw will bo starved, even if Kussia supplied her with everything she could last only a few weeks, and with out Russia it will probably bo only mailer or oars.
