National Defense and Power
Both internationally and
rapidly these days that minor
tne shuiiie. A year ago wnen national aeiense was a ui is
sue, it was ffiven a distinctive new deal flavor, as this column
oointed out at the time. For one
spending it was to take the place of some other varieties of
gDendincr in the recovery program. And then there was the
power program. ...
But Europe quieted down
little better and the republican-independent democrat coali

construction projects. 53 million
million for the Panama canal and some other little items that
would loom large on your household budget. But the military
highways, of which the Willamette valley hoped to get one,
and the power program didn t develop.
True, the national defense program is by no means com
plete: but since all these developments were projected, na
tional defense has become an entirely different matter ; a
serious matter. One would suppose that under such condi
tions it would lose that new deal flavor and become exclu
sively a matter of grim necessity. Nothing of the sort. Based
upon government economists' warnings that there may be a
slump next spring because the present upswing is based too
much upon inventory accumulations and not enough upon
sales and demand, the new dealers are planning once more

a National Defense Power committee. The first was pretty
much dominated by Harold Ickes but the second was headed
"by Louis Johnson, assistant
an out-and-out new dealer, was emphasizing cooperation
with the private power industry, encouraging it to expand to
meet possible wartime needs. Ickes had joined with Cohen
and Corcoran in suggesting a 600 million dollar public power
grid system "for defense." The president turned thumbs
down on this idea, it was reported.
But now the president acting under his reorganization
authority, has consolidated the

power enthusiasts to back him

ly mean that the president is humoring Ickes, up to a point, in
his ambition to have a finger in
rebuffed, 'tis rumored, in his efforts to get control of RE A
and TVA. Or it may mean revival of the irrid svstem and an
other bevy of Bonnevilles. But
tional defense is going to remain tied to the recovery kite,
new deal model.
" Seeing and Saying
I The City of Flint must have been built near- Hollywood.
Few indeed are the dumpy, undistinguished merchantmen of
around 5,000 tons, which break, into as many headlines as
that small ship has done in the last two months. First there
.was the episode of the City of Flint picking up some 200
survivors of the unhappy Athenia; now the ship is reported
captured by the naughty Nazis, and taken, of all places, to
Murmansk, Russia ; and her crew, for all one can learn from
the public! prints, vanished into some temporary 1 i m b o
which may be Dachau and more probably in some dirty Rus
sian fishing village. (We can't get excited about that crew,
though: no group of 30 or 40 Americans is going to keep
quiet, no matter where it is, if it thinks it's being given the
run around by a lot of, "foreigners," particularly if the cof
fee's bad, as it undoubtedly is.
Out of such episodes as that of the sequestering of the
Flint, however, are international crises made. With this in
mind, American commentators on the subject have sought to
warn in advance aganst any tendency to read more into the
affair than1 has yet appeared, and to build it up into another
'Lusitania" or "seizure and search" cause celebre of the 1916
or 1812 vintages. So far, fortunately, such being the relative
ly stable state of the public temper, there have been amazing
ly few indications that the City of Flint, for all her predilec
tions for publicity, will achieve any form of historical immor
tality. Nobody, not even Ham Fish, has as yet tried to turn
her into the new American "Maine."
This is very much to the good. For the general public,
and editors particularly, the best course of action with regard
to the Flint is to sit tight and let the diplomatic notes settle
where they may. This matter, now especially, is a matter for
the diplomats and the international lawyers (this war has cer
tainly brought prosperity to the latter craft!), a matter of
delicate issues into the realm of which no layman has the
right to tramp.
Only in case the Jlint episode should suddenly broaden
into an issue which affects not a particular freighter taken
under particular circumstances and dealt with in a particular
way, but which: has clear reference to the whole scheme of
neutral rights would the general public have the right of
more than observational interest. Should the issues so broad
en, the matter of the City of Flint would then become a mat
ter of national policy and not of international relations ac
cording to fairly well established rules, and then the public
would have the right and duty to express itself, and express
itself strongly. In the meantime, however, when the case lacks
'facts like a 12-year-old front teeth, it is wisest counsel to see
out not be heard.

Communism in the CIO
No doubt there was "more than met the eye" to the in
ternal battle waged within the ranks of delegates to the Inter
national Woodworkers of America convention which closed
Sunday at Klamath Falls. The minorifv ImI hv ai Worf,,
the Columbia river district suffered defeat of its constitu

but the final vote indicates that this movement picked up
some converts along the way, for it was reported in advance
of the convention as certain to be overwhelmingly defeated.
The vote was 123 to 99.
Opponents of the amendment had a plausible argument,
possibly even with some basis in fact, that the communism

The reason is that John Minfn

mcoYerer or the pass, or trail;
at least the American discoverer,
or rediscoverer. who Dut his di-
covery on record. Back in 1931,
mis column published a series of
iour articles, in December of that
year, on this subject.
A great many readers will eon-
siaer a repetition 0f the facts
then pointed out in order now,
uence mis series.
U
For the SeDtember. nm
ber of the Orernn Hutnrtai
Quarterly, John Minto himself
wrote an article under the title;
"Minto Pass; Its History, and In
dlan Tradition," reading:
"There was a tradition among
me laaians or. me central portion
of the Willamette Talley at the
time when missionaries of the
Methodist Episcopal church at

"The superstitious belief of the
inaians in the transmigration of
the souls of dead warriom intn
the bodies of beasts of nrev. likn
panthers, bears and wolves, would
or useii go far to cause the In
dians to abandon the use of snrh
a trail, but the formation of the
gorge by which the river cuts its
way through the roughest portion
of the range is such as to give
great numbers of opportunities
for ambuscades a common re
sort of Indian warfare. Certain
it is that for some rausn th Tn.
dians of Chemeketa, Chemawa

of going up that river. They
did. however, have trails nn Hch

adopted as a general route over

used exclusively by the Indiana
of the east side of the range as
means or coming into the Willam

settlement of the whites began.

of the Columbia river pass.

couraged; at all events no bene
ficial results followed.
"At this same time (it was in
1845) Stephen H. L. Meek was
leading a party of the immigra
tion of that year with the pur
pose of entering the Willamette
alley by that way. Meek had

John Day river a. few ana anna

Letters From
Statesman Readers
FOR HA5I AXD EGGS
To the Editor:
On November 7, 1939, Califor
nia votes at special election again
on the ham and egg $30 every
Thursday pension for all citizens
over 50 years of age.
Pre-election speculation on the
measure seems to be about 50-50
on the returns.
In event the bill Is voted into
law. and It appears in practice
during the few months following
its enactment to be working good,
the U.S. supreme court is not apt
to take action on its legality very
soon and other states probably
will copy after California and call
special elections and vote into
effect similar ham and egg pen
sion laws. By the time the U.S.
supreme court eventually gets
around to act on the legality of
the new law, half the states in
the union will have similar laws
on their statutes. Then the U.S.
supreme court will in all proba
bility by decision declare them
all unconstitutional voiding them.
But by that time the formation
of the 1860's will have been laid.
What's the difference between
black and white slavery? What is
a worse slavery than a man need
ing and wanting employment
through which to earn himself
and family a decent livelihood
and can't obtain it?
Through the indifference of
congress to enact a federal aged
pension law which would elimi
nate unemployment, the states
will now take the initiative and
enact them. California will lead
the way. Our government has
acknowledged unemployment of
an average of ten million people
over a decade period, people that
are totally jobless and no pros
pects. At the same time there
has been another twenty million
working one or two days per
week, but la person working one
or two days per week is not num
bered as unemployed. However.
people working only one or two
days per week are not making a
Hying. Therefore oyer the period
of the past decade we have better
than thirty million adult people
not making a living In this coun
try.
The patience of the states wait
ing for the elimination of un
employment promised by the New
Deal is exhausted. Trom now
on the states will commence to
experiment with California lead
ing the way. Why not California
lead the way? California and
Florida are both bankrupt by un
employed people that have eaten
their heads off. Unemployed
people are like unemployed
horses, they eat their heads off.
Of the two undesirables, unem
ployed people are the worse; un
employed horses can be turned
out half the? year to grass, but
yon can't turn people out.
The pension law is the solu
tion. Pay the elders not to work
and throw the work to the Jun
iors and - equalize the situation
created by the machine age. j t
something awful, I bet," Slim
replied, eyeing Snapper suspic
iously. "Yeah, some monkey back of
the fence tossed a cat on the
track and Dash O'Fire wound up
chasing the kitty Instead of the
rabbit."
Slim resignedly peeled off a
twenty and asked Snapper to
make it stretch until the end of
the week.
'Did you see the lights on the
tote board flash Knight Errant's
closing odds, six to one, this
afternoon?" Slim asked.
"That's the highest price he's
been in any of his ten races to
date. It won't be long now. The
odds are cherry ripe for Bas
sitt's liking. He'll just crack
down with Knight Errant in the
next race."
Snapper glowed with anticipa
tion. "And will we be abord!"
"We'll ride right along with
Bassitt." Slim answered, and he
determined to wait another race
before confronting Heather with
the facts.

WASHINGTON. JOct 2S-(JP)-
With wars going on in Europe
and Asia, with might mating new
rights throughout the woria
each day
The army of the richest and
greatest nation, the United
States, has not enough good
rifles to go around. It's an in
side bnt In-controvertible fact
that only 15,000 to 20,000 of
the excellent new Garands are
available for about 120.000
men, or one rifle to abont
each sixth trooper. Orders
hare been placed for 65,000
more, bat when the army gets
these fn Jane. 1941, It will
have only 110,000 or so for
the 300,000 or so men it hopes
to have by then. ...
The whole American land de
fense force has less than half as
many anti-aircraft guns as the
British have defending the city of
London alone meaning we have
less than 450 to defend the full
length of Atlantic and Pacific
coastlines, not to mention the
Panama canal. Those oraerea
will still leave the coasts with
100 less than the British have
around London. If the army
provided what New York Mayor
LaGuardia considers essential for
the defense of our metropolis,
they would give him every gun
they have in the country, and
leave the rest of the U.S. unde
fended. . . .
The American army has never
been able to get a division to
gether in the United States for
maneuvers since the world war,
Officers have been able to ac
quire not the slightest experience
in handling war time bodies of
troops (a streamlined division is
8,900 men.) Plans have recently
been announced to foregather di
vision strengths at Fort Benning,
Georgia; Fort Sam Houston, Tex
as: Fort Lewis, Washington;
Camp McClellan, Alabama; Camp
Jackson South Carolina; and Fort
Bass, Texas, but. ...
Orders for the concentra
tion of these troops around
December 1 had to be Issued
during the past week so they
would have time to get there.
Xo congressional appropria
tions were made for their hous
ing and feeding en route. They
must stop only at army posts,
thereby delaying their assem
bly. . . .
It would take the United
States 8 to 12 months to organ
ize a force of 1,000.000 fighting
men. The Poles had nearly
twice this number prepared
against Hitler, including their
trained reserves, whereas we
have only 320,000 in the national
guard.
Hitler subdued the Poles with
mechanized innovations the gas
oline cavalry which penetrated
Polish lines and prevented for
midable organized resistance to
the main moving troop body. He
used 10 mechanized (Panzer) di
visions to effect the result. The
United States has not even one
full war strength mechanized
brigade, although its defensive
strategy would seem to require
fastest mobility to defend its
lengthy coastlines. . . .
American deficiency In artil
lery is a full tale in Itself. We
have no modern 155 millimeter
howitzers for counter battery
work; we have a good 8 inch
howitzer, but only four (yes,
four) of them; the gun carriages
on our French 75 MM. guns are
of an old model designed 40

military forces, Just ahead of
Rumania and exactly the size
of the Polish regulars, but be
hind them in war strength be
cause Polish mobilization un
earthed more than a million
military reserves. ...
The administration is begin
ning to bestir itself about the
situation, but not nearly as much
as interested congressmen. The
existing condition may not last
long. New appropriations are he
ing prepared for the coming con
gressional session, but even these
are not taking the long objective
view of the new power of might
in diplomacy.
Truth is American defense ap
propriations have been built upon
the assumption that the United
States would never be attacked
because it is banked by two
oceans and two friends. Further
more, it is a peace loving nation
and its midwestern congressmen
have always believed that defense
funds were sheer appropriations
for toys to amuse the soldiers
and sailors.
A change in that opinion ft
becoming evident.
Midwestern congressmen an
saying privately what they wili
soon say publicly, that in a world
of might, the United States must
be prepared to have its Judgment
respected; with as adequate s
force at Hitler, for instance,
could prepare under a different
form of government.
Stories have been circulated
that the army appropriations
next session will be Increased.
They may be doubled.
Another reason why the situ
ation has not been presented
squarely to the public is that the
army itself hesitates to speak
out. Its generals naturally feel
themselves liable to democratic
political influences. They would
rather point with pride than view
with alarm. They must be soft
spoken for fear of arousing indi
vidual congressmen and a peace
insisting country which seems to
have armed itself upon the ex
pectation of being forever free
from attack.
When the secretaries and gen
erals speak to Kiwanis clubs
around the country as they do,
they are careful to bury their
statements of the facts in soft
blankets. Furthermore, the army
mule has been kicked around
here the Jast six years by the
navy goat. The president's pre
dilections are well known, but
the effect upon national defense
may not be fully appreciated.
In any other nation these days
the situation would make a na
tional scandal.
