Dubach is -big enough to get away-with it and besides, actually there wasn't much in what he said that wouldn't stand -the test of time; H. What we are thinking today is that President Roosevelt has few equals in the analysis and the expression of what Am ericans are thinking today provided that "today" is a time when most Americans are thinking alike. ! i In .his commencement address at Charlottesville the pres ident voiced the disgust of his countrymen at the craven stra tegy of Mussolini in entering the war at the moment he thought France was beaten and helpless. Regardless of the propriety of the president of "neutral" America patting such thoughts into words heard around the world there is no dis- puung their accurate reflection What we are thinking today is that when Thomas E. Dewey 'criticized that particular Roosevelt speech, he just about buried whatever chance he still retained of being the republican presidential nominee. He may not have done him self much harm at that for what we are thinking today is that the American people are not going to accept a brilliant enigma as their leader in such times as these. But in calling the president to task for Ms "dagger in the back'? speech, Dewey invited the displeasure of millions of his fellow-citizens for, once again regardless whether it was the part of wisdom or not,1 the American people wanted their president to say what bej did say. What we are thinking today is that those people parad ing with banners that read "The Yanks Aren't Coming" are wasting shoe leather. - j Chances are that the Yanks aren't coming but for reasons entirely apart from pacifist senti ment What we 'are thinking today is that Americans have had to revise their estimate of the totalitarian threat to the Western Hemisphere. Once it was assumed that if the dicta tors won this war they would-be as exhausted as the van quished and would be no threat to America. What we ate thinking today, is that they may win be fore they are by any means exhausted and that if that is in the cards, we are in no position to do anything about it with manpower. Horsepower is all we can give the allies in time te help them. And, in view of the. doubt whether that will avail, we are in no position to declare war because if we do we vwill;be at war and unprepared for it when Hitler with some slight help from Mussolini finishes mopping up in Eu rope. What we are thinking today Is that our only hope, in rich a case, is a couple of years breathing space before they ? i i iiii can pics, a quarrei wmi us. What we are thinking today is that it is blamed hot out doors in mid-afternoon and that if it wasn't for the war, the temperature would make a perfectly good main headline; and that the republican national convention starts week after next and nobody but the delegates are thinking anything abeut it. What we are thinking, today is that we are lucky to be in a business in which it'sour business to pay attention to what is going on in the worjd. You other fellows, we fear, are going to lei? your business go to pot while you listen to the war broadcasts, i And that goes for the nation's business as well. If we don't tear our thoughts away from Europe pretty soon well have a third term president. But that is only what We are thinking 'today.! IHaroW Ickei Blitzkrieg It's a safe guess that even those Salem people who didn't want to hear Richard L. Neuberger tell them why he was a liberal, will be exceedingly anjxious to read what he has to sajv in the Saturday Evening Post that hits the newsstands today, about the tussle now uider way between the forest service department of agriculture) and the national parks service (department of the intjerior) over control of a great percentage of the still-primitife areas in the Pacific north west. !'- Neuberger's article one nas written reveals, though that this is a real "blitzkrieg'! which v Secretary Ickes has launched against the forest service and the forest industries of this area. - Already in Wajshington state there has been created an 898,Q0O-acre natiorial park In the Olympic range and that is one reason why the plywood industry is moving frUo Oregon. For; the program contemplates, not judicious ad ministration of the resources in that area but their perman ent "freezing" backed by the argument that they "belong to the whole people of the United States." More than than, the people who have heretofore colon- at a " d - ,-. a. a ' ized mat area are to De expatriated, just, as inexorably even if more humanely than the people of northern Poland. One settler implored governor Martin to mobilize the National Guard to prevent his family's and neighbors eviction, but i there was nothing the governor could do about it. , I Similar "blitzkriegs" are proposed for other Washington 1 forest lands, for the Hells Canyon area in southern Idaho and A in Malheur countyOregon, and in California. Oregonians may anticipate a more direct invasion of this state if the pro gram proceeds elsewhere. ' All this is being done in the name of "conservation." The ; fallacy, so f af as western Oregon is concerned, is that "con aenration" is promoted by simple disuse. . Our forests ripen : and decay if they are not harvested. Timber Js a crop." Wise use of the forests! negatives either their premature cutting or the failure to harvest them when they are ripe. V The Great Pity in France Dorothy Thompson recently remarked that she doubted " whether in generations, the legend of St Joan, of the Maid who saved France by a miracle because she fought with God, has been so vivid; as it is now. William C Bullitt, the Amer ican ambassador, expressed the same feeling Boon after when, in dedicating an altar contributed by Americans at Domremy, ia Alsase, where first the Maid heard her voices, he said, "From: one end of this earth to the other-very civilized man is praying, after his fashion, for th victory of France." Bul- " liit, in the name of President Roosevelt, laid a white rose on the altar; a white rose signifying the purity, as well as the beauty and loveliness and fragility of the French ideal which has meant so very much to the western world from the time , of Godfrey of Bouillon to that of Pierre and Marie Curie. . ; ; There was a great pity in the kingdom of France" in the day in the 15th century when the Maid, afterwards called of Orleans, responded to the voices heard by herself alone near the country church of Domremy, and set out to search for the Dauphin in his retreat south of the sun-flecked Loire. The English, who had invaded the Breton peninsula and over run the hills and plains of Normandy SO-years before, still lay like a pox upon the land; nor had the treaty of Troyes, nor yet the marriage! of the king's daughter to Henry V brought surcease!. The English had invested the He de France and the northern provinces; the Dauphin had fled below the Loire, and was contemptuously called "King of Bourges" aft- i er the only great cathedral town which lay in his power. Or leans, the stronghold south of Pariswas held by the English . archers and men at arms. ; ' The Maid came from Alsace to the Dauphin, recognized 2Vo Fear Shall Awe" Thinkiiiff Todav . oi national sentiment.

Nineteen of these were non professors of religion. So effec tive, however, was the preaching of Jason Lee and his : associates that by Sunday evening IS of the 19 non-professors were publicly converted. i S "A spectacular! feature of the camp meeting was the conversion of Or gon's most picturesque mountain man, Joseph Meek. Jo seph Meek, with Dr. Robert New ell and other comrades of the Rocky mountains, arrived in the Willamette) valley in December, 1840. i : f "Practically penniless, they se lected farm sites on the Tualatin Plains and began the erection of homes ... On Sunday evening, July 46, after professing Chris tianity, Meek exclaimed, 'Tell everybody yon see that Joseph Meek, that old Rocky, mountain sinner, has turned to the Lord!" N Quoting the Btosnaa book fur ther at this point: "Doubtless the saddest event in the last year of Jason Lee's residence in Oregon occurred on August 15, 1843, when he said farewell to his nephew, Daniel Lee, who . . . departed from Oregon for the United States oh an ocean sail ing ship called the Diamond. Their last meeting took place at Fort George' (originally Fort Astoria) at the mouth of the Columbia river. James birnle, the resident trader at Fort George, dispensed for the last time a cordial wel come to the two ; Lees. Birnie, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, was one of the fine group of Hudson's Bay company men whose name is spoken with appreciation by the numerous visitors who were the beneficiaries of his courteous and big hearted hospitality. "At BIrnie's request. Jason and Daniel Lee preached at his estab lishment on Sunday, August IS. the last of many services con ducted jointly by uncle and nephew in Old Oregon. S V s "The Diamond lay at anchor near Fort George until Tuesday, August 15. 1843, When it dropped down at Baker's bay while Jason Lee and other friends on the shore waved farewells to the Daniel Lees, and also to the Frosts, and the Babcocks. (All missionaries returning to their eastern homes.) "Mrs. Marcus Whitman ac companied the Daniel Lee family to Fort George from Fort Van couver, and spent a day or two on board with Mrs. Lee. V "On the day of Daniel Lee's departure, Jason Lee and Mrs. Whitman paid a short visit to the Clatsop mission house. Mr. (J. L.) parrish. Rev. Frost's suc cessor in charge of this station, was a cordial host. "After remaining at Clatsop for about one week. Superinten dent Jason Lee set out for home, accompanied by jMrs. Whitman and David Leslie.; V "Traveling by way of Willa mette Falls (Oregon City), they proceeded up the! river, arriving at Chemeketa (site of Salem) In late August, 1848. "About three weeks later, Mrs. Whitman, who had remained at Chemeketa visiting her Meth odist friends, received the excit ing news that her husband was returning over the Oregon Trail from his long and memorable journey East. The message also stated that he was a member of a large Immigration party, con sisting of 140 wagons. v "Accordingly, lh the last week of September, Jason Lee. serving as an escort for Mrs. Whitman on her homeward trip, set out again for The Dalles mission station. "Descening the! Willamette by canoe, they made a short stop at Fort Vancouver, whence they pro ceeded by the Colombia. The Cas cades were portaged in safety, al though continual rain made tra veling unpleasant, and they reached The Dalles on Saturday evening, October 17, 1843. l' "While at Wascopam (The Dalles), Jason Lee wrote the sec retary of the (Methodist) mis sion board this long letter, hith erto unpublished, which discloses the serious problems confronting him during these! autumn days. The letter was concluded on the Pallas at the mouth of the Wil lamette on Friday night, Oct. 7." (Here follows the long letter.

Out of the meeting, called by Angelo Branca Vancourer lawyer and member of the Italian colony here, came Vancouver's newest "anti-subversive" group, the Canadian-Italian war vigilance asso ciation. The association pledged to aid authorities in combatting fifth column or other , subversive ele ments.

It is a tentative, wholly b si-Bess- arrangement for nation al; defense purposes only, and not a complete political recon- dilation. Congressional tax leaders, Pat Harrison and Doughton, got wind a few Slavs back of a downtown plan to seek another billion dol lars . authorization for aviation defenses. They trooped down to the White House ito counsel strong ly against any such more at this time. Their , argument was that the money could not be spent soon In view of limited facilities, and premature, authorization might upset the government's fi nancial program which has been put on a fairly firm footing by the heavy ; tax bill. NOTE T b e incident Is m convincing hint that the presi dent's rearmament plans con template much greater efforts than have - yet been disclosed. Such estranged counselors as Senator Byrd of Virginia and Bud get Director Smith -have .like wise been working on ways to put Into effect Byrd'a long-de-alred. economy program for a 10 per cent horizontal cat In non-defense activities. Some trouble has been encountered over details. In the consultations Smith has in sisted some non-military items must not be cut as much as Byrd desires. Tet the mere fact they are getting together shows the extent to which a politically torn democracy can unify Itself hur riedly for action. Mussolini's entry into the war surprised no one within a mile of the top. For some weeks in his dealings with Mr. Roosevelt he had made no secret of his in tention to go in at the moment he thought allied defeat certain. It is hardly a disclosure to report that disgust tire with the Duce'a sordid purposes was practically unanimous. Mussolini, like Hitler, while glorying In arms and the jus tice of his trumped-up cause, claimed h had been "forced" by the allies to take this just step. While the dictators pro fess not to believe in oar ideals of Justice and' right, they some how always go to the trouble of finding an excuse in accordance with oar ideals to Justify their actions. A psychiatrist might have a good answer to that one. The ref ormers may have slipped one past the congressmen in the. tax bill. Heavy defense taxes were supposed to be laid for a fire-year period to amortise ex penditures, but when the bill came out. the La Follette plan of reducing exemptions and increas ing surtaxes was made perman ent. Only the additional 10 per cent supertax and the increases in excise taxes had a five-year expiration date. Heavier income taxes have long been advocated by the new deal ers as a permanent reform.

USHA has not suggested such a policy, which now extends federal funds tjo three USHA mixed racial proj ects in New York and one each in New Jersey, Ohio, and Nebraska, as well as 13 PWA.

The Safety Valve Letters from Statesman Readers COMPULSORY MILITARY 8KRYICE To the Editor: Inevitably, step by step, compulsory military ser rlce is a question that we, as citizens, must face.
