Nipponese Good Will
We note that the Japanese, incurable, optimists, have
bid f'Banzai," "may you live 10,000 years" rather ambitious
for aviators to six fliers who are to circle the world spread
ing a Japanese brand of good cheer and international good will
along the route. Goodness, knows this is no time to frown and
look askance at any effort to disseminate joy and gladness,
even if it does have a Japanese trademark, which might seem,
in these parts, to prejudice it slightly. .
The Japanese are to fly over North and South America,
Europe (where they may spend their time dodging other
peoples tinware), and finally r Russia, where .we hope they
have decided how to explain their presence to the natives
they meet. They are to demonstrate Japanese flying in Japa
nese craft, and are supposed to receive the plaudits of the
world when they return. If they do return, they probably
will; but if Japanese airplanes are like Japanese fountain
pens, we are a little inclined to shake our heads. We should
hate to see a gasoline line work like a guaranteed Tokyo
made pen-point, than which the Sahara is not drier.
There is not much use in asking whether such fliers
will actually succeed in spreading "good will." No one
knows exactly what that commodity is, anyway, and in the
present state of affairs it might be a little difficult to recog
nize at best. Be that as it may, if the Nipponese fliers
whose plane itself rejoices in the patriotic name of "Nippon"
do prove that they can fly from Tokyo to Vancouver, BC,
without having to refuel on seal oil, we would be willing to
allow them a future handicap of not more than 102 on any
given report of 'Russian planes shot down. That would be
handsome enough.
Good -will flights are by no means new, since
the world has been gritting its teeth and enduring them for
nearly 20 years. Yet this is the first time that the Japanese
have seen fit to copy this custom of the Occident, such being
their retiring nature, and it is a tribute to their aggressive
ness that they still feel that an airplane flight will avert a
threatened trade embargo and king's-X a rearrangement
along the axis. Since such youthful self-confidence should
receive the support of all honest citizens, we see no reason
why the Japanese should not receive the usual quota of
news photogranhers when and if they land. If they don't
land, at least where thev can be photographed, we shall know
that good will is not all that counts.
The President's Appeals
The Corvallis Gazette-Times succinctly remarked re
cently that the worst news which had come to its attention
during the present period of international unrest was the
fact that President Roosevelt was hurrying home from his
northern cruise "to fire a shot for peace," and added that
it would be, thankful if Shirley Temple were president from
now to the next election. Although we would be partial to
Mickey Rooney, now that Shirley is growing up, we still
believe that Editor Ingalls has a point and a very good point.
Rarely has American foreign policy shown a greater
tendency to mingle in matters which are not its concern,
and almost never has America, and an American president,
rieen made light of on a larger scale than during the last
year or more. During that time President Roosevelt has
made his four appeals for peace to heads of European states,
and the total result has been that we are now faced with a
crisis which makes all other crises look like tin imitations.
For the first time since the war an American president wa3
made to look like the receiving end of a Hal Roach pie
throwing episode last April when Hitler finished making his
reply to the intercession of the president in the Czecho
slovakian crisis. That speech, which was one of Hitler's best,
was sarcastic and bombastic, but3 Mr. Roosevelt had earned
every slighting reference the dictator directed at him. It
will also be remembered that the outcome of that episode
was a general internal strengthening among axis powers,
combined with a new effort to cement their relations in
central Europe.
As nearly as one can tell, the foundation of the Roose
velt foreign policy, or impolicy, is a sort of naive humani
tarianism which actually believes that megalomaniacal
Fuehrers and pot-jawed Duces will ever be candid and de
pendable in international relations. His terms are too hope
lessly ingenuous ever to have a Hitler or a Mussolini or a
Stalin listen to them, nor de we think that if Mr. Roosevelt
had more immediate control over the economic and military
power of this nation, as he asked during the last congress,
that he would acquit himself in any better fashion before
the world. Had that been true, this nation would be more than
merely the butt of world scorn; it would probably be the
world's dupe. . . :
i It Is impossible to dissociate the personality of the
president himself from his policy abroad. It is hard, and
also dreadful, to imagine that another man, in the same
situation, would have acted with as masterful a misconcep
tion of what it takes to sway the councils of diplomats as has
Mr. Roosevelt' in the last 12 months. The instability and
egotism of his temperament show up in much their worst
light in these foreign policy decisions, to the extent that one
has serious fears for American neutrality in the event of a
world conflict. Should it ever appear that these peace appeals
and the general Rooseveltian policy of stirring up top-heavy
concern over the world situation were merely for home con
sumption,: then the president would be open to a very grave
charge of attempting to substitute political expediency for
the national welfare.
t In the present situation, the most satisfactory position
which the United States can take is to keep its eyes and
ears open, and maintain a strict neutrality which extends
to keeping the White House mail inside the territorial bounda
ries of the country. In spite of all the arguments that we
are a commercial country, that the world is interlocked by
trade to such an extent that no one part can long keep out
of a world conflagration; in spite of the bleeding of hearts
about democracy in France and Britain; and in spite of our
inbred dislike for the society of people of the Hitler-Duce
stamp, it is still impossible to see why the United States
should mix itself up in an affair of the balance of power in
central Europe, which lacks, when firmly analyzed,; even the
tags of idealism of the last war. We have nothing to gain
and-much to lose by raising false hopes on the part, of the
rest of the democracies, who have our favor at the same time
that our neutrality is proclaimed; and we have vastly more
to lose, and vastly less to gain, if we begin to meddle at the
outset in a matter which is remote from us.

By B, J. HENDRICKS
Brash College sett Its 8-27-41
name from having been
built in tbe brush: it baa
a long, interesting history: "
(Concluding from yesterday)
At tbe risk of tbe charge of repe
tition many months apart, tbe
writer will copy from a speech of
Stephen Staats before the Oregon
Pioneer Association at Its 1877
annual meeting, a section telling
of the discovery of gold (in 1848)
at Sutter's mill race, In which he
(Staats) was one of the three
Oregon participants, aU of them
going from .Salem or near Salem.
Staats went from beyond Inde
pendence, Polk county.
Staats was an honest man,
much before the public' of Ore
gon In his day, as Grange lecturer
and in other capacities. On the
occasion mentioned, he said:
WW
"I now wish to revert to an in
dividual formerly a citizen of Sa
lem, (now deceased), of whom no
person has referred to in their ad
dresses before this Pioneer As
sociation. I refer to Captain
Charles Bennett, an immigrant
of 1844; I first became acquainted
with him in 1835; 42 years ago.
He was then a subordinate officer
of Company A, U. S. Dragoons,
stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
"In the spring of 1847 I made
a trip to California;,' Bennett was
with us and assisted in camp du
ties; he was a very active and
energetic man, always on the
lookout for something ahead.
Upon our arrival in California,
after a short time he left us for
Sutter's Fort.
s s
"After being there a short pe
riod, he and a man by the name
of Marshall (be of gold mine
fame) entered into a contract
with Sutter to erect a sawmill,
and while engaged in its erection
the first discovery of gold was
made. Now Marshall has always
been credited with being the first
discoverer, but, had it not been
for Bennett, In all probability
that auriferous region would nev
er have yielded up its ; golden
revenues to the enterprising Yan
kees. Bennett's searching eye was
the first to behold the sparkling
'dust glistening in the. mother
earth, where it had been embed
ded for centuries.
"He it was who first exhibited
the first ounce of gold dust to
the wondering gaze of the Call
fornians. Well do I remember
when, with sparkling eyes and en
thusiastic hopes, he brought that
first specimen of gold, and re
counted to us the manner of its
discovery, and the extent of its
deposits, saying at the same time,
'if it really is gold, we can get
all we want and become as rich
as Croesus.'
a S S
"I claim for Bennett the credit
of being the first discoverer of
gold In California. He made our
house bis home when not em
ployed, and I received from his
own lips an account of the manner
of its discovery In 1818. But Ben
nett Is how gone; he met his death
with that true bravery for which
he was noted, while fighting to
protect the settlers on our fron
tiers." Captain Bennett was killed at
the battle of Walla Walla, pres
ent Washington city of that name,
on December 7, 185S. His body
was brought to Salem for burial.
The inscription on his monument
in. the Odd Fellows' cemetery
says he was the discoverer of
gold In California. John Minto,
who knew him very well, said
Bennett, working with Marshall
on the mill race, saw and recog
nized the particles of gold first.
Stephen Staats saw them at about
the same time.
s s s
So, three Oregon men, Mar
shall, Bennett and Staats, all from
or near Salem, were the discover
ers of gold in California on that
fateful January 24. 1848, which
turned the attention of the world
upon the land that became the
state of California: and became a
state by virtue of the fact that
Oregon men were both the dis
coverers of gold in California and
the first gold rushers, who broke
California into the Union as a
state, without waiting through a
territorial form; with Peter H.
Burnett, Oregon's provisional
government supreme Judge, one
of the gold rushers, the first gov
ernor of the state of California.
More than that, Oregon was the
mother-in-law of California state
as well as its mother, for Judge
Burnett, who had helped to make
them, took a printed copy of the
Oregon laws with him to Califor
nia, and so they became the first
laws of California. But who were
the four Oregon women who dis
covered gold in California, nearly
three years before the fateful Jan.
24, 1848? Briefly:
V
Dr. Truman and Jairus Bonney,
brothers, with their families, were
In the 1845 covered wagon immi
gration. At Fort Hall, they turned
off for California, with the Todd
Swasey company, Todd a cousin
of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, who
was a Todd. At the western foot
of the Sierras, the wagon train
stopped for resting and washing,
on a clear, cold creek. The young
sters waded in the creek. Lydia
economy, to avoid dependence on outside resources. Process
ing of beets dates back to the late 18th century when it was
Initiated in Prussia as a cheap source of sugar. The French
took it up during the Napoleonic period, and in 1812 Napo
leon established a school for the training of persons for the
culture of the beets. During the July Monarchy the French
continued an active policy of fostering beet-sugar production,
and since that time it has been a standard agricultural com
modity abroad and in this country.
That beet sugar production exists now on the economic
margin is probably true, but, so long as beet sugar is being
produced commercially, it is well that Oregon participate
in the industry, Tbe addition of such a crop to those already
produced in this state, and especially to those produced in
eastern Oregon, is a worthy step toward a more diversified
and thus more stable agricultural economy. The northeast
portion of the state has always lacked the extreme diversi
fication of the west, a fact which has been depressingly
clear when wheat crops have been bad, or when the cattle
market has been unsatisfactory. The introduction of beet
culture for sugar production can well be an alternative, on
a scale yet to be determined, to the staple products, of that,
region, wheat and beef -.. .

Detroit Family
To Visit Utah
DETROIT Mr. and Mrs. Tom
R. Fryer and children Elmo, Zea
land, William, Cathrin. Donald
and Alice left this week foe a trip
to Utah, Mrs. Fryer's home state.
Mrs. Roy Allen, Ora and Frank
were called to Eugene this week
to the bedside of Roy Allen's fa
ther who had been an invalid for
the past several years from paral
ysis and was suddenly stricken
with another stroke. Roy Allen
was at Powers on fire duty when
called to his father's bedside. The
elder Mr. Allen passed away.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thrailklll
took Mr. Thrallkill's sister, Peggy
Ann, to Salem Thursday where she
caught a .train for Seattle to visit
before returning to ner nome ai
Missoula, Mont. Miss Thrailklll
has been visiting here for the past
two weeks.
Bonney, daughter of Truman,
and Harriet, daughter of Jairus,
and B. F., brother of Harriet,
found particles in the stream re
sembling grains of wheat; took
them to camp. There Dr. R. Gil
dea. member of the Todd-Swasey
company, declared the particles
were pure gold. He asked the
youngsters to gather more; told
Jairus Bonney they would go
back the next spring, and get
enough to make them all the rich
est people in America.
An entry in the diary of Capt.
Sutter of Sutter's Fort for 1846
reads: "Jan. 24. Don R. Gildea
died and was buried today, . . .
at 4 o'clock p. m." (Don stood
for Mr. or Sir.) Carious, isn't it,
the date, Jan. 24 two year
earlier than the fateful Jan. 24,
1848?
W - S
Two other young daughters of
Dr. Truman Bonney, Sarah Ann
and Miriam, found particles of
gold in a stream near Fort Sut
ter, later in the year 1845. There
is no doubt concerning those first
and second discoveries; prevented
from getting to the world's atten
tion by the death of Dr. R. Gil
dea.
Lydia Bonney became in Oregon
Mrs. Cooley. Sarah Ann became
Mrs. Sanders, and Miriam Mrs.
Hibler. They were all great aunts
of this writer, sisters of his
grandmother, Hannah S. Bonney-
Sherwood. Older members in
Oregon of the Bonney clan re
member well the traditions of
those first and second discoveries
of gold in California, which failed
to get out to the big world be
cause of the death of Dr. Gildea.
L. W. Hastings of the 18 4 2
(Dr. White) immigration, who
had moved south from Oregon,
administered the estate of Dr.
Gildea. The two Bonney dona
tion land claims in Oregon were,
one near the site of Hubbard, the
other where Is now the Oregon
state training school for boys; a
third, by Bradford, sen of Dr.
Truman, where now stands the
southeast part of Woodburn and
its suburbs in that direction.

This column has twice reviewed
once tbe German edition and
once the English Hermann
Ranschnlng's book. "The Revolu
tion of NIhiliam.r Rauschnlnj:,
former president
of the Danzig
senate1 foretold
the German-Rus
sian rapproche
ment m o n h s
ago. The follow
ing is a quota
tion from his
book: . , - :.v
"The conclu
sion of an alli
ance with Soviet
Russia has al- Dorothy Tbomaooa
ways been held in reserve as a re
source in extreme emergency.
. . . 'The dividing lines between
the various dictatorial ideologies
are, in any case, very indefinite,
no more than a matter of conven
ience of interpretation. In tbe
spring of 1937, before the huge
crop of executions in the Russian
army, a number of provincial Ger
man newspapers were surprisingly
busy with Russian events, which
were being interpreted as reveal
ing a new development of nation
alism in the Bolshevik state, and
its purging of Jewish elements
and of doctrinaire revolutionists;
"There were full accounts of
Stalinist anti-Semitism, and much
was made of the alleged emerg
ence of the authoritarian idea oi a
new Tsarism, together with a new
nationalism. I do not know whe
ther this was a kite flown by Pro
paganda Ministry or a gamble by
other groups. But nobody who
has had any Insight into the elas
ticity of the unscrupulous power
policy of the nasi regime will have
any doubt that a right-about turn
in foreign policy would not be a
matter of the slightest difficulty
either for the Propaganda Minis
try or for any of the masters of
the completely muzzled German
nation.
. . . "The Bolshevik leaders de
policy was by no means unpopular
among the national socialist lead
ers. Apart from Rosenberg, there
were few prominent members of
the party who would not have pre
ferred a Russian to the Polish
pact. I had several discussions
with Koch, of East Prussia, one
of Gregor Stra3ser's men, a keen
supporter of a Russian policy. The
party never, indeed, cut off all
connection with Russia.
. . . The Bolshevik leaders de
fended the strange plan of any
association between the Soviet Un
ion and Germany in discussing it
with members of their party by ar
guing that it could only benefit
the proletariat if capitalist, mili
tarist Germany built up the indis
pensable armaments industry for
the Soviet Union. But in 1933
any close alliance with Russia for
aims of offense was only to be had
at the price of a 'second,' a soci
alist, revolution In Germany. 1
assume that Hitler recognized
this, and that he considered that
the time was not ripe for that rev
olution. Undoubtedly there are
important military groups which
would not shrink from it. For
many of the younger generation
of nationalists there is no longer
anything alarming about that per
spective. o o o
"Hitler's aversion to an alliance
with the Soviet Union is due,
however, clearly to another con
sideration that if the nationalist
socialist methods of domination
are, perhaps, the equal of the Bol
shevik methods, they are In no
way superior to them. A German
Russian alliance would certainly
bring the danger of the conversion
of a national socialist into a Bol
shevik hegemony. -As yet Hitler
has found no opponent who could
stand up to his political methods.
This gives him the sense he per
sonally needs of absolute superi
ority. Soviet Russia would be as
dangerous a partner as it is an
enemy; it would be a partner im
mune to the wiles of national so
cialism, as the bourgeois world la
not.
. . . "Hitler was compelled by
the political Intrigues of the early
years to trim his sails, until he
had full possession of power and
could venture on a revolutionary
course la Internal politics. Now,
however, with Wehrwlrtschaft and
Autarkic (military economics and
self sufficiency), the economic
system and the social order have
been largely approximated to the
Bolshevik system and there are no
difficulties left in the way of al
liance with the Soviet Union. That
alliance Is the great revolutionary
coup in foreign policy at which
eon trolling elements la the nation
al socialist leadership have long
been aiming.

of September, 1938, would in any
case hare meant the proclamation
of the second, the socialist, revo
lution, which Hitler, in spite of
his declaration in 1934 that the
revolution was over, still holds in
reserve. (Everybody who heard
the secret Interpretation of the
events of June 30, 1S34, i& aware
that he does so.)
This alliance may be also
brought about by difficulties in
the internal political and economic
situation, or simply by a slowing
down of the revolutionary devel
opment essential to the mainte
nance of national socialism in '
power. The decision to offer this
alliance has been closer, and will
be closer in tbe future,, than Is
suspected either in Germany or
abroad. The decision is the eas
ier since it is that favored by the
military experts, who are not
alive to the wider issues Involved,
Just as they were not at tbe time
of , the . 'combination' of 1933.
(Mr. Rauschning refers to the
conservative alliance with nazism
in Internal politics which brought
Hitler into power.)
"A German-Russian alliance
means simply the confluence of
two streams which run toward the
same sea, the sea of world revo
lution. National socialism will
submit to Gleichschaltung with
the Bolshevik world revolution, or
will subject that revolution to
Gleichschaltung with itself; it
amounts either way to much the
same thing. It will be no ordinary
coalition between two powers for
normal practical purposes. Ger
many and Russia, If they come to
gether, will radically transform
the world. That alliance is Hit
ler's great coming stroke."
This much would appear to be
certain from Herr Rauschning's
analysis. Hitler's approach to
Moscow is a long contemplated
measure. Its revolutionary impli
cations are fully as important as
its military menace.
There is not yet an alliance be
tween the red and brown revolu
tions. But mutual benevolence
may be the beginning of one.
