At the time, the war showed signs of being con fined to Germany, Poland, France and England; now Russia is involved in some indefinable manner and there is a serious threat that it will spread further and in unDredictable direc tions. History moves at a gallop in Jimes like these. r The president's request for a "cash and carry" amend ment toas based upon the lineup of nations as . of a week ago, and was frankly a move to help the democracies by : "methods short of war" so far as the United States was concerned, and just as frankly, it was a matter of opportun- ' ism. The changed situation demands a re-examination of ' the issue. - When this issue first arose, it was The Statesman's opinion that the United States ought to make it possible for munitions makers here to supply the democracies what they could come and get and pay for. Foremost of our rea- " sons for so believing was the undeniable fact that, the better the allies fared and the quicker they won, the less danger 'of this country's involvement. Our reasoning also led to a t belief ithat it was not trading with the allies, but loaning them money and credit, that played a part in our- involve ment in the struggle which we are beginning to call from - necessity for differentiation. "World War I." There are a great many other arguments among them the benefit of an outlet for manufactured munitions, for the development of a munitions industry which would en hance our own preparedness and also a number of argu ments (which might be marshaled on the contrary side of the case. Press and public have, in fact, argued themselves blue in the face on this issue in the past two weeks, and argument is becoming wearisome. So for the present we will limit our discussion to two other aspects of the situation : i First, it should be generally recognized that though one irrouD ifavors an arms embargo and another favors a cash and carry policy, both want the United States to stay out of war. This sentiment, indeed, is shared by workingmen as represented by their unions, and industry as represented by , the National Association of Manufacturers. Since the nation is almost unanimous in the desire and the determination to keep out of the war, there is no reason for opposing sides in the! debate to impugn motives. Calm reasoning ought to : prevail and there is greater need for it than ever before ; in this nation's history ! . ! Second, the decision is for congress to make, not the ' president ; and we emphasize this even though we happen to agree, for once, with the occupant of the White House. There was a tendency at the capital in the first few hysterical days after war was declared, to brand this an "emergency" which iought once more, as in 1933, to cause an abrogation of congressional 'powers. There is no such condition here. and it must not happen again. The present outlook is that the president will have his way, unless re-examination in the I light of the changed situation casts more doubt upon the I advisability of amending the neutrality act. But he is more I likely to gain his objective if he will refrain, as suggested in the foregoing 'paragraph, from impugning motives of his ' t opponents and from any appearance of seeking to dictate to congress. ' I diaries M. Schwab j At age 18 Charles M. Schwab selected steel as his voca r tion and took a job as stake-driver for the engineering crew i, of one! of the Carnegie companies. A year later he was its chief engineer, and it was not long until he was Andrew Carnegie's right-hand man, then the first president of United States Steel and later the dominating figure in Bethlehem Steel. He was a self-made man. So much may be learned at a glance by scanning Who's, Who or the encyclopedias. What ; interests that portion of the public that is intrigued by con .' templation of his career, now that death has brought it to - a close; is the secret of his success, his rise to the position ; of America's No. 1 industrialist. ! There is that school of thought which holds that no man may rise so high without trampling ruthlessly upon regi- merits of his fellow-men, and another school which holds , somewhat the opposite view. There is no denying that Schwab seized opportunities and built for himself vast financial powerpower which the first group cannot conceive of ...being anything but a force for evil. On the other hand it must be recalled-ihat in labor relations, "big steel" in recent 'years has taken consistently a more temperate view than "little steel" or some other sections of industry. It may be C recalled that Schwab himself wrote as long ago as 1920 : ! am myself a believer in the fact that the successful employment of labor does now and will in the future rest more . and more upon the recognition: First of the right of the men to deal with their employers collectively; and Second upon the privilege of the men,- through, some kind of profit-sharing, to obtaiit-ertllrect share In the profits realized upon the articles ,: tney uwmselves are maamg." i . In his abstract thinking, at least, Schwab, was ahead of 'his-time on this subject But after all: .whether he was a benefactor to humanity-or a ruthless exploiter does not pre cisely explain his career, for there are and were plenty of other men eager to be either. It s said that he was an engi 'neering genius, a financial genius, a genius for organization. But what constitutes genius? Lacking an actual acquaintance ship, the question stumps, us. ; - But supposing that such a i of his predecessor the man "modeled his own life. Is it not ; would emphasize most strongly m that appraisal, the points in the other's character and methods that most impressed him," that most appealed to : duplicate? Here are portions Andrew Carnegie : - , , . "The tremendous results which Mr. Carnegie 'secured were ( always obtained through a spirit of approval and never of criti- clsm. .'. . How every man responds Under such conditions! . . . I have yet to find the man,' however great or exalted his station, ' who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than he would ever do under a spirit of ' . criticism. . , - . ' . . ; - ; 7 ; . "Mr. Carnegie all the years of his life was the simple demo- v crat that we preach of today. He never had a particle- of snob ,v highness In his character, nor could he tolerate It in others." - There is likewise independent evidence that Schwab ob tained loyalty and cooperation in the same manner that he ' attributed to Carnegie; by patting men on the back in token of appreciation of honest effort, and by showing sincerely that he held himself no better The Threat Rare is the man who, 'apple pie, ice cream and gingerbread cookies, has not gone back to bed to find himseli. a crumbling cliff several hundred feet over a seething mael strom of icy waters on some .neither he nor any other man of different temperament, road ties while an express train rushes toward him as he .struggles to answer the deep yearning within him to break his bonds.

HENDRICKS First winter and 9-21-39 summer of Applegate families in Oregon: pork and . peaa staples: S H (Concluding from yesterday:) Quoting the Jesse R. Applegata book further: "Our first winter was mild. I can recall but one snow storm and this snow disap peared In a tew hours. We bad. no team nor wagon and could not borrow. (This made it necessary tor Jesse A. to gather and carry chips and sticks for fuel, bo he remembered it.) I went; to school all that winter. We children followed a footpath through wild shrubbery higher than our heads. After a rain we were well sprinkled from the wet bushes, and often ar rived - at the school house thoroughly soaked. (The wild shrubbery is still there, after 95 years, if the school house was north of the old mission's first three houses, which this column ist thinks it was.) 'We considered ourselves fortunate if we were dry by noon. I can remember no play time, no games, not even tag. The last school day I recall must have been near the close of the term, for I went from the old weU near the school house door to the fence on the mission farm and saw that the wheat was as high as the fence. Our people harvested on the mission farm, using sickles and scythes .to cut the grain, which was afterward bound into bundles or sheaves. My. work was to stack the sheaves into shocks. . By harvesting this crop our people supplied themselves with grain to take to the new settle ment. The wheat was the red bearded variety. (The Apple gates of the second generation, mostly sons of Jesse and Charles, became in after years bonanza farmers in Yoncalla and Scotts valleys, Douglas county, using the then most modern machinery and in harvest time hiring all the available help of their neigh bors, Including older brothers of this writer.) S S V "Many families arrived in the Willamette valley in November and December (1843), and lo cated in different parts of the country. The Waldos, Kaisers. Looneys and others went up the river and settled on the Waldo Hills, Chemeketa and valleys of the Santiam. The Millicans, Bakers, Holmans, Hembrees, Hesses, Birds and others crossed the river and established settle ments in the rich valleys of the North and South Yamhill. 'When our families had been established in winter quarters in the deserted mission houses, the country west of the river was ex plored, and places for settlement selected on a stream called Salt creek, at the eastern base of the Coast Range. In December (1843) Uncle Jesse Applegate established himself there in a shanty or hut. Here he, with one or two young men, resided during the winter, making im provements and preparing a home for his family. The settlement in Salt Creek valley was about three miles north of where the city of Dallas, Polk county, now is. The three Applegate brothers located on three adjoining sections, since known on the township map as the donation claims of James Frederick, A. H. Whitley and George Brown. S S "a 'When our families started west again, we crossed the Wil lamette river in the ferry boat which father built during the winter. Taking a southerly course between the hills and the river to Salt Creek valley, then west through a low gap in the range of hills (Eola Hills) Bix miles north of The Mills (now Salem), we traveled west about nine miles and 'kindled our last campfire on the bank of a branch of Salt creek under the brow of the Coast mountain range. In order to make the move, a team bad been hired or bor rowed. There may have been more than one team, although can reeall but one. 'This was the beginning of . the first road in Polk county. The road was laid out before there was a county. . . . Our camp fire was in a grove of large oak trees. The three camp fires were close together and lighted the avenues between the trees up to a dark canopy of leaves over head. We children played games in the grove early in the evening . . . Our second camp scene In the grove of oaks was brilliant while It lasted. Uncle Jesse (Turn to page 5) of independence in the case of the latter but for the position in which they find themselves now they might as well have done so. News dispatches yesterday described Estonia as blockaded by Russia, and. all three of the Baltic countries "bobbing helplessly, like corks on turbulent waters, in the surge of events which struck Poland and which may at any time be directed against them.n Sweden, especially, is threatened by the progress of events on the continent. Her present sympathies are with England, but her citizens accuse the English of "neglect," since the British blockade has affected Swedish commerce with Germany and even neutral countries, and a British embargo has cut off vital coal supplies to both Norway and Sweden. More threatening, however, is the attitude of Ger many, which has already given the Swedes to understand that she is willing to trade with them if they are ready to enter .a barter agreement to supply Sweden with coal in return for iron ore. The Swedes are not blind to the "or else" method of Nazi barter, but they resent the lack of sympathy which they think has marked the British, attitude toward them. Absorption of the Baltic states by Russia would perhaps be more of a tragedy of principle rather than an overwhelm ing diplomatic or strategic defeat for the allies, on whom their hopes for continued independence must rest. A far greater loss would be the overrunning or even peaceable seduction, of Denmark, Norway and Sweden by the Germans and Russians. Not only would the losses in strategic ad vantage and in war materials be immense, bat the final blackout of the thoroughly democratic 'rule in the three Scandinavian monarchies - would be an irreparable moral defeat.": - - -vx; :-f y:,-' The small states in northern Europe will need inspired leadership in the next few months, together with a firm as surance that the cause of independence to which they devote themselves will be worth the struggle. They should by. all agencies receive support in every form, material as well as moral, from the states whose allies they would be if they rose against the threatened incursions of the German-Russian hordes. "Redheads Are Chapter 82. Later, as the two drank their coffee and Handsome slept. Dr. Christian diagnosed the case as. Alcoholism, of couse. But I wonder where he's been. He's half starved.' Meanwhile. Mike was saying to herself: "I can't leave him alone here. If I report In sick to the office, they . micht come here."

Mike ' knew the risk she ran having Handsome in her apart ment, but there seemed nothing to do about It at the moment. She and Dr. Christian talked it over. They agreed that Hand some should be In the country. They thought and planned. . . . Where could he go to recuper ate? The husky athlete was recover- Ing rapidly.

I woke up in a little town up in Maine. I don't know how 1 got there, but I must have caught a ride on a freight." His head sunk lower. I didn't have a sou. They ar rested me for vagrancy. Kept me in Jail for 30 days." "They didn't recognize you?" Mike held her voice steady. "I didn't shave, and I wouldn't tell them anything about myself. wnen tney let me go. I started right back to you. ... I didn't have much to eat. I was scared I'd get arrested again. When I got here, that fellow was here." Tears came to Handsome's eyes. tie was sun weak and sick. She bent and kissed his forehead. "Don't think anythine more about it now." Desperate. Mike was in a constant state of desperation that Bob would sus pect something. She finally was forced to tell him that her brother was in town. 111 at her apartment. She also told him Dr. Christian was taking care of him. Bob immediately tried to help and he almost drove Mike crazy.

By ! Vera Brown In Detroit, Handsome listened to the ball game on the little radio in Mike's apartment. What he thought or what he felt be never told anybody. It seemed to be a turning point In his life, g When Mike came home that evening he was In bed. During the night, ! she could hear him pacing up I and down the floor in his room. But this seemed to be his tight. . She could do nothing for him. Next night when she came home from wort.. Dr. Cnristian - was with Handsome. "I think we're got the answer!" he said. Larry's Future? -To Larry's future?" Mike asked. "That's It." Dr. Christian was beaming. "My dad lives up in Northern Michigan. Near Iron Mountain. He's got a smaU farm. Just putters about. I think he will take Handsome for the winter." . Handsome met her eyes squarely and smiled: ''I'm hit ting the comeback trail hard. Skipper, How can we get him out of town?" Mike asked. "I'm driving through next week, with Mrs. Christian. He can go with us." After the doctor had gone, Handsome seemed happy Indeed. "Just give me another chance. Skipper." His, face clouded. "I'll need a little money." We'll get that, somehow." Mike assured him. "I can't take any more from you, Mike." "You won't have, to." Mike went to Wish Malone the next night "You've been a grand friend. Wish. I need money badly. There's sickness in the family. I want you to . . . t6 sell my ring." She held out the diamond which Handsome had given her that first summer. Wish knew quite a lot about diamonds. Bail players generally do. They like to buy them. "I thought you might know one of the younger boys who'd like a stone cheap." "Why don't you Just borrow on it?" Wish asked. Better Sell It." "Because 111 need more than that.

School Safety Is Urged on Drivers The Salem colica department Is not going to stage any brief. concentrated rmve to bring about safe-driving practices by motor- tats passing scnooi grounds but it will keep a regular watch to see that the city's school chil dren are protected. Chief Frank A. Mlnto said yesterday. The chief called on motorists to cooperate in the department's goal of going through this school year without a serious school child accident. "We want motorists to help by observing school safety lanes, in front of the buildings and at the crossings set out for children to use In reaching their homes." the chief said. "Motorists should be especially careful te watch for children on bicycles at street in tersections." Children, the chief emphasized, are difficult to regulate and therefore it particularly behooves motorists to be on the alert for them. News Behind By PAUL WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. When Stalin machine-gunned his way up beside Hitler 1n Poland, Mr. Roosevelt gave deep recon sideration to his cash-and-carry views and to his secondary hope of returning to an international law basis. In fact he started reconsider ing about a week before the event as he had reason to be lieve Russia might drop her neutral pose. The same thoughts that prob ably have occurred to you ie- veloped that early among his ad visers . . . The vision of Russia opening a back door for Hitler to Latin American raw materials and even to our planes, arms and munitions in case the embargo is repealed . . . The possibility of Germany, Russia and Japan using the new American policy to con quer Europe, Asia and Africa, and thus effecting a purpose exactly opposite the intentions of the Roosevelt policy ... A new light seemed to be cast on the whole matter. Upon r e c o n s 1 deration. Mr. Roosevelt decided he was rieht In the first place (watch his mes sage), and for the following rea sons: 1. Hitler has no cash, Russia and Japan have very little. On the .other hand Britain and France have nearly one billion in gold, 825,000,000 in cash de posits and 3,000,000,000 in se curities. As a practical matter, Britain and, France would still be . the beneficiaries of the Bloom bill or a return to inter national law. 2. The Trans-Siberian railwnr even with its double track, is not anything like American railways in efficiency of equipment. Its limitations would hinder Hitler in using this door, to the same extent that Russia's internal needs for oil and raw materials prevent him from reaping the full benefits of his trade pact with the Soviets. 3. The British navy might be able to establish a blockade in the Pacific against the Russians (based on Singapore.) 4. The only Pacific Russian port of Vladivostok freezes in win ter so no advantage could b taken for six months in any event. The Russian ports of Murmansk and Archangel on the Arctic are open most of the vear hnt th are now being watched Terr care- ruuy by the British. 6. If the Japanese join the Ger-man-Rnsslan rnlllnw rnrflnn -II considerations 'would hare to be changed, but that remains to be seen. (Some also want to see how far the German-Russian cordon rolls.) If yon want to find the White House banshees these days, don't look out the window (where Mr. Early said they went) or in the moon mists (where Mr. Roosevelt said they existed.) The Infiltrating J.

A Jaw dDrai ;rtDn'Iffipibii'iu i By DOROTHY THOMPSON Senator Borah and Neutrality If Senator Bora.h 1st. correct in his analysis of the natnre and meaning of this war, the course ne recommenas deserves consid eration. Bat If be is fundament ally wrong in his basic premise, then the course he recommends is full of folly. This column believes that his premise is wrong. This is not. as he thinks, a war Dorotoj Tbobdsob of rival imperialisms. It Is a revolutionary war. Its object is not- to effect reasnnahln acinar. ments which will give greater justice to nations suffering from a lack of raw materials and com mercial outlets. Its object is to change the whole structure of hu man society, to destroy sli exist ing Western forma tit TMl 1 1 inn 1 and economic organization and to substitute for them a new model which will not retain a remnant of what since Greece and Rome' has been known as Western civili zation. e Because the British and the French failed for five years to understand the nature of Na tional Socialism, there is a war today. Had they not shared Senator Borah's optimism they would "have halted this revolu tion when the Treaty of Locarno was broken. If the issue had been one of colonies and raw ma terials "that' is to say, of im perialistic claims Great Britain at least would have made great sacrifices rather than the much greater sacrifice of war. As late as the summer of this year the British government hAped that war could be avoided by such ad justments. That was the motive behind : the conversations con ducted in London in July between Dr. Wohltat, of German Econ omics Ministry, and Mr. Robert Hudson and Sir Horace Wilson. The government of Great Britain discussed the rehabilitation of the German economy and the stimulation of German trade with British financial assistance. A plan was envisaged whereby Today?s Iews MALLON ghosts, Messrs. Corcoran, Cohen and company have in reality been in hiding, under the bed, in the doghouse, and out in the bushes, or should be. No one sent them there, except possibly their conscience. It appears their advice to the president has proved to be no less than 100 per cent wrong since the Euro pean crisis started several months ago. One of their errors was their assumption -that the Russians could do no wrong. They accepted completely the orthodox pinko beliefs, first that Russia would be the strongest of the anti-Hitler bloc, and when that assumption proved wrong, that Russia would certainly remain neutral. Also bad luck is pursuing the banshees. Baby Banshee Foley (Corcoran man in . the treasury as general counsel) hit upon an idea of extending the Vinson Trammell act to all Industry. The act prevents more than 10 per cent profits on shipbuilding for the government or more than 12 per cent on airplane manufac turing. It sounded like good idea, but before work on it was completed, the ghosts discovered Morgenthau, Edison and Louis Johnson had worked out a modi fication of the Vinson-frammell act. The modification proposed to allow manufacturers to deduct liberal amounts for plant expan sion after consultation with the government. Incidentally the better idea Is likely to become the administra tion plan to outlaw profiteering, when the situation gets around to that. One banshee plan which seems likely to succeed will make the anti-monopoly ( national eco nomic) committee a frying pan for profiteers. Suspect business organizations would be hauled be fore the committee and have their profits exposed to such publicity as only a senate Investigating committee can. get.

Senator Borah, thrmiprim.t v.i Thursday speech, was talking not bbohi ion war, dui about twentv years ago. Even at that he in dulged in verv darins- assume tiona. He assumes that had the present neutrality legislation existed m xvii we would have Kept out of the last war. Whon the neutrality legislation was framed two years ago. Senator Borah! says, there was no u-a. of any moment anywhere.. That is correct, dui tnis column op posed i the neutrality legislation then, on the ground that it was a travesty of International law and was more likely to get us into war than to keep us out, for it: is certain as logical to argue ;tnat we stayed out of the last war for three years because it was paying us to be neutral ana pecause tne operation of traditional neutrality was actu ally aiding the side on which our sympathies and interests lay. It is also a very keen assump tion for Senator Borah to make in arguing that the sacrifice we made in the last war was futile. We went into the last war be cause Uhe overwhelming opinion of this country was that it was oetterifor our interests that Great Britain Should win than for Hur. many to do so. And if we con- siaer ine Kina or peace treaties that a victorious Germany made with the Bolshevik Russia she herself helped to create, and with Rumania, we, were probably right. t ' But analogies with 1914-'18 are comDletelv besirio th mark What now confronts Great Brit ain and France Is the conjunc tion of two powers under abso lute desnotism u-hnsa nnmnso ia revolutionary, not imperialistic ia any previous "sense ol mat word. And this revolutionary war know s no neutrality from the outset. What does Senator Borah think is the purpose of the German American Bund in this country? What idoes he think is the pur pose of the Communist party? Is he in the least misled by the fact that Messrs. Kuhn and Kunze; speak beneath a portrait of George Washington, and Mr. Browder likes to adorn his halls with portraits ot Lincoln? Does he not know that, both these "legal' organizations are nothing but conspiratorial bodies carrying out in this country, on this soil, policies which are laid down in the Kremlin and by Ernst Bohle's office for foreign organization and propaganda in Germany? True that the two revolution ary organizations are still In this country, at loggerheads. But their propaganda approaches each other even now, ever since the Russo-jGerman pact. In the in terpretation of both the "Weckrnf und Bbebachter" and "The Daily Worker," this war is an imperial istic war. It is 1914-'18 all-over again they both agree. And what both want is the destruction of Great Britain as the greatest international stabilizing force against world revolution that exists.
