Kimmel and Short
"Remember Pearl Harbor" is the nation's
war slogan. There are at least three things about
Pearl Harbor that need to be remembered. One
Is the treachery of the Japanese attack before
formal declaration of war, for which retribution
Is demanded. Another is the 'yaloC and spirit .
exhibited by our soldiers and sailors there, an '
inspiration to equally' praiseworthy perform
ance in the battles that lie ahead, j
The third is Pearl Harbor's lesson in the
need of alertness and preparedness. '
Public opinion operating in the inimitable
fashion it has in America, demanded that re
sponsibility for the lack of alertness be fixed
and that justice be done. The Roberts report
laid that responsibility on the doorsteps of Ad
miral Kimmel and General Short, commanders
respectively of the army and navy forces In Ha
waii. That report however is more or less com
parable to an indictment; an accusation which
the accused are entitled to answer before a com
petent, unbiased court.
The two of ficers already have suffered im-
measurably and, if it had been merely a matter
of their withdrawal from the service, public
opinion doubtless would have been satisfied. :
. But the officers, possibly determined to force
the issue and obtain, vindication though "this
cannot be known beyond cavil, have applied for
retirement with the usual retirement pay. That
does force the issue.
Courts martial have been ordered but it is
indicated that these must wait until a "suitable
time. Some citizens ask. why now is not a suit
, able time. ,: ' ' ; "'J 1 '
Let's reason for a moment. A secret court
martial will not satisfy public opinion. -Open
trials are demanded. If public opinion is to be
satisfied, that means detailed report of the tes
timony in the press. If justice is to be done, the
defendants must be permitted to bring in any,
available evidence in their behalf. If the avail
able evidence includes, as it well may, facts
which at this date would be helpful to the en
emy. . '.'well, you see, the trials cannot be held
now. - -rr'V'-:
The trials recently opened, in which former
leaders of France are accused of betraying that
nation, appear to us rather ludicrous. The case
of Kimmel and Short is by no means compara
ble, yet we are not quite certain that their trials,
started in these times and dividing the national
spotlight with the war effort itself, would not
appear equally ludicrous to the outside world.
Particularly while the war is going no better for
us than it is. .
This is a matter that will keep. Meanwhile
we are disposed to think there may be advan-"'
tages in holding it in abeyance. So long as the
issue hangs fire it will serve as it would not if
pro-and-con argument were now to be re
newed as a constant reminder that careless
ness and lack of unity are disastrous in war
time and cannot be tolerated.

have endorsed his record, in most cases by sub

An immigrant boy; from Denmark who
came to America at age 15 and made' his own

Mr. Gram has been no starry-eyed dreamer; no
- radical shouter on behalf of labor'; he has devo
ted his efforts to practical tasks in the protec
tion of workers against hazards, unwholesome
conditions and exploitation. In' devising legis
lation affording such safeguards he has been
aggressive; in the administration of those safe
guards he has been efficient firm and fair, re
taining the confidence and respect of, workers
and employers alike. His record is one which
might well serve as a" model for others who deal
with difficult problems of worker-employer re
lations. - ' . -
Attention has been called to a typographical
error made by our typewriter, though, and not
by the . linotyper in last Tuesday's editorial
"Property Tax Calendar." It said property
taxes for state, county and city were levied on
a calendar year basis, "January through June."
The last word should have been "December.
The sentence was also incomplete in failing to
show that these taxes intended to cover gov
ernmental expenses for the year 1940, were all
payable in 1940. ;

Semarang.
The Japs did not send many of their ships into
the Java attack. They had lost heavily in cruisers
the last two weeks. Some naval rumors suggest one- '
third of the whole Jap cruiser strength has been
put out of commission, but this is a hopeful guess,
not officially claimed.
Obviously, however, they kept their main
fleet in' home waters protecting Japan, beyond easy
range of allied bombing planes.
! No one of any authority here had ever claimed
Java could be held. The narrow island Is more than
800 miles long, a greater air line distance than from
New York to Florida. Each rat hole in that expanse
.could. not possibly be protected with the forces at
hand.
The only thing that could have broken up the
J&p attack was counter-attack on the bases from
which it was launched, or upon Japan proper, and
our forces were apparently insufficient or unready.
Here again was demonstrated the superior value of
offensive action as the only feasible defense.
While the news of Jap successes there has
been bad, however, it cannot be classed as unex
pected. . , , '
Livelier hopes are justifiably held for India
and Australia.
In truth, there is some reason to expect after
Java, Japan may turn her thoughts and her force",

If our flying fortresses wen to work on Jap

their war effort might be serious.
- What could they get in Australia or India by
and India, are bigger game than they have sought
previously and their armies are already strung out -one-third
of the distance from pole to pole.
Hence they may . wisely begin to think of home
protection and fixing up the oil wells, rice, fields
and rubber plantations they have amassed. -
Overwhelming defeat of the Smith (40 hour
extension) amendment was a great surprise to the
leaders. As late as four ' hours before the vote, -Speaker
Rayburn and floor Leader McCormack ,
privately said they thought it would pass.
A combination of sudden political drcumstan-'
ces was responsible. Republicans sat. back at first,
as the debate developed into quarrel between
southern, democrats and northern new dealers.
This fact inclined the republicans to let the
democrats take the responsibility of majority pow
er. Many republicans whose records placed them in '
favor of the amendment voted the opposite way.
Strong overnight lobbying by labor (chiefly the
railroad brotherhoods) took advantage of this in
ternal political situation. Mr. Roosevelt's opposition;
did not make much difference. His position had
long been known.
- In a closed session of the senate labor commit
tee, Chairman Davis of FDR's latest labor board,:
dropped the impression that a . stronger stand
against strikes and Inflationary wage demands was
going to be taken. He left the notion this govern-;
.'ment would not tolerate strikes while soldiers are
dying. - ' - -
, Also he said flatly he would follow the Hen
derson policy in the price control law and prevent
constant edging of union wages upward. "
Next morning after his appearance, bis "board
failed to apply these policies to the General Motors
wsi increase demands. It sent the dispute back'
to negotiation by the ccmpany and the union.

Question of the, .

origin of the name ' '
of the Santiam river
asked of this columnist:
S
A lady, whose telephone num
ber has been misplaced, has ask
ed this columnist the origin of
the name of the Santiam river.
A very good authority is Lewis
A. ("Tarn") McArthur's Oregon
Geographic Names, which says: :
W S . '
"Santiam River, Linn and
Marion Counties. Santiam Riv
er and North Santiam River
form in part the' boundary line
between . Linn and Marion coun
ties. . In : addition to v the two
streams named, other important -tributaries
to the Santiam drain- ,
age are the South Santiam, LhVk
North Santlam and Breiten-f
bush ' rivers, and Crabtree,
Thomas and Quartzville creeks,
all heading in the western slopes
of the Cascade range..
The stream was named for
the Santiam Indians, Kalapoo
lan tribe, living on the Santiam
river. The remnants were moved
to Grand Ronde reservation in
1908. Variant forms of the name
are Ahalapam, Sandeam, San
tiams, Santainas, Santian, San
talns, Sandeham.M . . .
' ' " :
The Santiam tribe of Indians,
or branch "of the Kalapooian
tribe, was considered of enough .
importance by the Jason Lee
missionaries to Justify plans for
. a branch mission among them,
though-such a branch was not
established. That was not the
only planned branch which was
. abandoned. One for the Ump
qua Indians w a s especially
stressed by Jason Lee, and af
terward the Idea was given up.
Rev. Gustavus Hines, who
came with Jason Lee In the
Lausanne party, arriving In 1840,
- and published a book, or two or
three books, went with Lee to
the Umpqua to ' look into the
prospects further, resulting in its
' abandonment wrote about that
trip in his book "Oregon," pub
lished in 1837. As showing how'
primitive was , Oregon In 1840,
some readers will agree that a
few "extracts from that book are
worth copying. They follow:

' excellent military prison, and as
the two airmen were escorted
; Inside both were thinking, the 3
game thing that escape would :
be most difficult from such is r
place. The only - windows gave ,
onto a court the outside walls -being
blank ! and solid. v
' At least they were to be al- .
lowed to remain together, . and -
when they were finally Lift J.
alone they began to look around
the room to which they had been
' assigned.' :
; "Looks as though we had com .
' pany," Rusty observed. There ,
were four cots in the room, and
- over two of them hnntf th f. -
. lonsines of French efficera: On
one military cap there was the '1':
single stripe . of a second lieu'1 ' '
tenant and on the other two
strh?es of a first lieutenant ; -"At
. least they're young," ' "
. Hutch said, after he had pointed
1 this out to his friend. -
The room was not large, and.
" It was very sombre, no sunlight
penetrating there at any time of
the day. There were the four
cots, and by each cot a kitchen
. chair. In the center of the room
stood a bare table, over which
hung single electric; bulb with
no globe or shade. ' The floor
was of large stones, worn away
at places by the tread of feet -
- over the centuries, and the only
rug was a square, moth-eaten '
affair under the table. The walls
were bare except' where nails
had been driven Into them to
- serve as clothes hooks, near the '
cots, and they had recently been
whitewashed. Hutch said he be-
- lieved the place had been .tern-
porarily arranged by the French
as a hospital before the invasion.
."Let's Took It over thorough- ,
ly," the American said, "before
our, room mates return." -
They went over v the walls :
inch by Inch, tapping with their -knuckles
until they , were raw.
But the walls seemed solid.
"Just as well try and dig through
the Rock of. Gibraltar," Rusty,
remarked.
"Not much chance1 there, I'm-
afraid. We might have a look- -.
see at the floor, although it looks.
about as solid as the walls. These f
guys certninly built for the
es" '
. They searched over-the ""floor
as carefully - as they had the
walls,' going under, the cots, in
the corners; everywhere, r trying
to find a stone, that could l be
, budged from its tplace but with
' no luck. They were tightly wedg-
. ea mio weir places ana tne ust
Of time had been packed about
them, like mortar.
Finally - it was: Rusty who
whistled in a low, long! note of
surprise. "Hutch!" j J
