Hemisphere Conference Skids
Hemisphere defense, -which was to get a start with con
'ference of foreign ministers of nations of the western hemi
sphere at Havana July20, skidded on wet paving over the
weekend when Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay said
they would not send their foreiTt ministers there. Jo?e Can
tiUo, foreign minister of Argentine, starred; the skid when
he said he would not attend. He is the one "who embarrassed
the program of the United States at Lima last year. Now the
secretary-general of the communist narty in Chile denounces
the conference and says Chile should adoo a policy of abso
lute neutrality toward the United States as well as Germany
and Britain. He asserts that the economic interests of Latin

conference reveals the fundamental difficulty of hemispnere
defense, as was discussed in The Statesman last Thursday.
Latin-America is suspicious of this country, and the economic
Interests of the two are by no means complementary. They
are; competitive in important points. Meantime President
Vargas of Brazil reiterates his address hailing the new and
fecund forces in. world affairs, further strengthening the
view that the United States builds on an insecure foundation
if it puts any reliance on Jjatin-American cooperation in
hemisphere defense. J f
! At present the United States is seeking to woo the
South American countries with "loans." The Export-Import
bank is busy providing credits to these countries. We are
even financing the construction of naval vessels in our own
yards for Brazil. This is risky

can Be prevented is show and exercise of force. If to uphold
the Monroe doctrine that is, the prpgram, we might just as
well shake the big stick now. Certainly we ought not to be
squandering money and providing warships for potential
enemies.
The Statesman reiterates that hemisphere defense be
gins now with 'Great Britain Supporting that line is the
surest and easiest .way of upholding the Monroe doctrine. If
that line fails then our next line of defense should be con
! tinental, not hemispherical, protecting the Pananjaf canal by
j' invincible defenses in the Canal Zone and on its approaches
I particularly in the Carribean. On that shorter arc we can
protect ourselves .forever if we gear ourselves to the task.
Russia and
Ever since Slav barbarians paddled down the Dneiper
- to the Black sea, and from there voyaged across to Constan
tinople and the Golden Horn, the inhabitants of Muscovy
have desired the dominion over the Straits; of Dardanelles.
Like a constantly recurring theme in a long, ancient sym
phony, the yearning for the Straits and fori the city resting
upon them has appeared time and again in Russian history".

than protection of. Christians in Constantinople! nearly a
century later. But in the nineteenth century, and during the
early part of this, the j Russian dream of control of the
Straits came agonizingly close to reality on more than one
occasion. , - j
After the battle of Navarino, after the Russo-Turkish
war of 1877 Russia claimed fortresses and naval power in
the Black sea; and her diplomatic policy during the two
decades before the last world war was conditioned in many
ways by a desire to perfect these gains by grasping the
Sublime Porte from the Turk. Despite the cleverness of
Izvolski, and with the help of the stupidity of other Russian
diplomats, the goal was never attained during czarist times.
But now, in the time of the Soviets, when the czars and
their imperialist policy j are supposed to be a thing of the
dim, unrecallahle past, the Russians seem poised, ready to
grasp the slim thread of the Dardanelles between their jeal-

presented demands to the Turks; and there is no indication
that the latter will be able to deny him, at least for long. :
' The consequences, if the red flag' does fly where the
standards of the Greeks and Romans, the green flag of Islam
and the! banner of a rejuvenated Turkey have flown, will
be unbelievably vast. Russia will then command the whole
of the Black sea area, including the vital mouth of the Dan
ube river. She will control, of course, the oil fields which
she has i always held in the Caucausus; perhaps more sig
- nificant, she will hold the only sea bases from which attack
' oii these fields could be launched. She will hold the key to
importation of all commodities into Europe from the east,
a fact which is painfully clear to the German government
as it stimulates Hungary to action in the same Balkan am
phitheatre against Rumania, j !
"! Vhether all of this is done in the name of the Berlin
Moscow axis, established so affectionately last August, is
not clear. Indications are that it is not, decidedly not; and
if ? this is true the train of history, to which Lenin referred,
has rounded another curve, and many again will fall off.
Afnong the latter, one trusts, will be the Germans' themselves.

' 1 1.
Let any-occupational group come, together in conven
tion and you may count upon it that most of the speakers,
especially, the outsiders, will have numerous complimentary
things to say about that occupation and the people engaged
in: it. Thus when the publishers of Oregon convened recently
at Gearhart, they heard themselves described more than once
as "moulders of public opinion. " i
It is flattering to; suggest to a man thafcfie exerts an
important influence upon that rather indefinite hing that
is public opinion. Lest an editor or publisher be too much
inclined to accept that; flattery at face value, there is a con
trary opinion that is often expressed within his hearing, to
the effect that the newspapers have lost their influence; and
even in the convention) there was a potent antidote in one of
the technical addresses one oa "readership'' which included
mention that the percentage of newspaper subscribers perus
ing the editorial column is not exceptionally high.
Be that as it may, the publishers were urged by one
speaker to employ their opinion-mouMingi influence in be
half of the justice department's campaign to prevent crime,
which is in contrast po its former concentration upon the
punishment of criminals Another speaker bespoke editorial
support toward public; realization of the problems1 of timber
and soil conservation now becoming acute in the Pacific
Northwest; and a third such appeal sought. emphasis upon
the gravity of the national defense need. It will be seen that
though the flattering word was employed, there was behind
it no ulterior purpose thanks, perhaps, to the (convention

locations of postoftlces:
U
. (Concluding from last Satur
day: ) As mentioned 1b this col
umn, fssne of last Satnrday, Post
master Henry R. Crawford has
been on a Ions search for photo
graphs or other plctnres of eTery
persons who has serred as post
master or postmistress of the Sa
lem postoflice.
As a result of his wide search
and painstaking labor,' his gal
lery. In his rooms of the new post
office building contains likenesses
of all who bare held that posi
tion, with the exception of Tnrner
Crump, and Thomas B. Rickey:
and Mrs. v R. H. Dearborn. It
should be easy to supply the. last
named, for prominent women of
Portland are near relatives of
Mrs. Dearborn..
Mr. Crawford has also parti
cipated in the search for places
where the Salem postotflce was
kept, through the years to the
time it was first opened as a ted
eral government service, by John
B. McClane, he having been com
missioned from Washington as
postmaster for Salem, Clackamas
county, Oregon, the date of the
commission November 8, 18 4f,
according to one record, and No
vember 28, 1849, according to
another. But by the time the
commission reached McClane, the
authorities at -Washington had
discovered that Salem was in Mar
ion county, so the correction was'
made. x
Turner Crump, the second post
master, his. commission dated!
February 26, 1851, according to
both records, was interested in
the first store that was opened in
what became Salem, in the late
winter of 1847, within a short
time after being opened up, lo
cated in the, first building erected
for a store in what became Salem;
located at the northeast corner of
Commercial i and Ferry streets
opposite the Marion hotel of the
present; diagonally opposite the
present plant of The Statesman.
Burt Brown Barker Is a rela
tive of Turner Crump and has,
promised Mr, Crawford to get a
picture of Salem's second federal
postmaster, which he can probably
do, If any one can.
This writer Is convinced that
Turner Crump had already been
postmaster for the place that be
came Salem, when it was called
The Institute, for the, school that
by change of name became Wil
lamette university. The provi
sional government legislature, at
its second 1845 session, estab
lished a postoffice department for
Oregon, and chose W. CI. T'Vault
postmaster general. That wasn't
much of an offiee, and not a great
deal was done, or capable of be
ing done, without funds or status
as a part of the United States gov
ernment. But something was
done, in the interests of a good
neighbor policy .which was taken
as granted In pioneer flays. So;
this writer la convinceP7that the
mails were handled at the Cot
store, as soon as It was opened,
and by Turner Crump. j
S j
Such mail service as existed
here before that was no doubt
handled from and to the Jason
Lee mission house present 960
Broadway, but then long before
there were streets or names of
streets or numbers on streets. j
That. (Lee) house, in its palmy
days, was everything: headquar
ters for Protestant Christian civil
ization on this entire coast; place
of refuge in the vast wilderness;!
point of contact with aU that was
official or important in govern
ment, In hunting and trapping af
fairs, in the treatment of Indian
troubles: finally Marion county
court house, territorial and state
treasury, etc., etc. John D. Boon;
who then owned the house, was
Oregon's last territorial treasurer
nd first state treasurer.

A biographical sketch of J. J;
Murphy was given in this column
on Saturday last, taken from a
recently published book, "History
of the Oregon Bench and Bar." j
The fact was given therein that
Mr. Murphy had been a member
of the Oregon legislature, and
biggest, most constructive and most j enjoyable of any in
recent years. Credit for these superlatives should be shared
in some ratio by the association officers and by the co-hosts,
the publishers of The Astorian-Budget and of The Seaside
Signal. ; T7' -' 1 : : L .

there and of course it always comes "up to expectations;
there is an excellent golf course; Astoria with its many at
tractions is nearby and Seaside, which, has seen many im
provements since we last visited it and which appears to
have an especially capable press-agent this! season, is even
nearer by. Get together a group of congenial people in such
a spot and there isn't much more that can I be asked in the
way of enjoyment. s
This word in appreciation
because, as all three of our I
mised, attendance there occupied the iirst three days of a
vacation which has just ended. Concerning the remainder
of the vacation, the least said the better, except that it Was
terminated appropriately with -a re-reading of the book of
Job. Job, you will recall, suffered from boils but there is
no record that he ever experienced an acute attack of poison
oak. Though he continued steadfastly to praise God for past
blessings, Job began to long for the grave. But then he prob
ably didn't live in as stirring a period as this, nor was he
provided, through press and radio, with so excellent a grand
stand seat from which to witness whatever world drama was
then unfolding. -" f i

Speculating upon the feelings of an old-time minstrel
whose lyre, perchance, was in hock and who had a sore
throat just at the moment of King Richard's return from
the Crusades, we feel chagrined at the loss of opportunity to
"sing contemporaneously of the double-miracle which en
abled the republican national convention to i choose the most
capable ticket possible for the coming campaign and of our
local gratification that it included our own Senator McNary.

a "stop-Willkie', campaign, we were disposed to cogitate

a brick building in Salem and was
a gambler was Stewart. He was
Charles B. Stewart. r '
