i ' t It . ; s THE STATESMAN PUBLISHING S - ' " CHARLE? A GUE, President Member at The Associated Press The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use far news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited Draft Prospects The ribbon-line "What to Do if Drafted,'1 seen on the cover of a national -magazine, definitely attracted our curious attention to the article Insider-it having, been ' our -impression that if one were drafted there was nothing one could do about it. As it turned, out, the article offered sundry practical suggestions as to wind ing up one's civilian affairs preparatory to in duction. To our way of thinking, military service is m privilege and not a penalty or misfortune, and thus any question of unfairness In selection is distinctly out of order aside from the ques tion of dependents. No patriotic male citizen has occasion to be perturbed about selection, aside from the matter of his dependents' security. President Roosevelt said the other day that boys of 18 and 19 would not be needed "until 1943," a statement which didn't seem to merit the headlines it received, seeing that . 1943 is almost here. On the other hand Major'General Hershey declared Sunday j; that married men with children "may be inducted" in 1943, inas much as there wouldn't be enough able-bodied single men even including the 18-19 classes, if ten to thirteen million men were to be mobilized something he considered possible. " Elsewhere there has been speculation . that all able-bodied men between 18 and 44 would be drafted, regardless of dependents or occu-. pation. United States News recently pointed out the physical impossibility of such a mobili zation, inasmuch as it would -mean an army of twenty million. That magazine insisted that it would require another year to equip even five million; that ten million would be more men than Germany has, whereas we have allies able to furnish: quite substantial numbers; and it cited apparently prohibitive figures on the " shipping . tonnage required to transport and . supply such an army overseas. So the. ten-million man army is a military mystery, and we'll just leave it to the men who know. We do know that from the standpoint of ' a healthy national economy, 'some able-bodied men wUl have to keep on wearing -Mcivvies.,V Production must go on, and soldiers for all their useful service and heroism, are not productive. Confession of Error " . If the president had listened to me, China, Russia and Great Britain would .now be pros trate and we should be facing our zero hour alone and unprepared Very Rev. Robert I. Cannon,, S. J, president of Fordham university. . ' It was the opening day of the new academic year at Fordham incidentally the one hundred, first year, which makes the big eastern school a close contemporary of our own Willamette and President Gannon was addressing a student assembly. . - - Confessing error is always painful; especially when the. confession is made by a mature leader to young people whose confidence and respect must be retained. So this was indeed a courage ous confession. 1 " ' ., , What Father Gannon believed a year ago is fairly well revealed in this other paragraph from his opening day remarks: ) - . Only a , year ago there were many loyal Americans and I was one of them who felt ; that this was not our war. We used to say that If the Soviets were wiped off the map it would -be good riddance, and that the feeble, guilty old British Empire was not worth one American life. Father Gannon knows, better now. More than that, he sees that isolationism and the ostrich variety of pacifism will never again be tenable: When the peace treaty is signed there will be the usual long-haired men and short-haired . women who will want at once to tear down our : national defenses. But we must not let them achieve the success they had after the first World war. I shall be surprised and very much dismayed if the United States; ever disarms again.. i Now an ex-isolationist -who freely confesses his past error and) who demonstrates that he' sees similar thinking will be error in future, Is a man in whom we can have confidence. But what other isolationist do you have in , mind, who has made similar confession? Rock-Ribbed? Physically imposing LoweU StcJoriari, re publican -nominee for second district congress man, opened his campaign with an address at Odell last Friday night and made, we are ad vised, an excellent impression. Asserting that he isn't a. politician and never hopes to be one, Stockman made a particular point of attack the "wait until after election" motto "which seems now to dominate congress. 1 Taking into account both Stockman's energy and forthrightness and elderly Walter Pierce's ebbing popularity as measured by his narrow escape from defeat in the primary, it looks as though the big fellow from Pendleton may .un seat this old campaigner. Four out of Oregon's five men now in con gress are republicans. Next year well have a delegation of six. Of course a victory for Stock man wouldn't necessarily .make it unanimous. The new fourth district probably will elect a republican, Harris Ellsworth, and Jim Mott is sitting pretty well in this first district but you never can tell about the second district, Mult nomah county. ' ' 7-4:V There is something appealing about consist ency in politics, even the democratic consist ency of the "solid south" 4ut there is an ex tra appeal in the opposition consistency of. cer tain rock-ribbed New England states. Phyiso-CzzdczHy,-Oregon isn't rock-ribbed, but we'd be proud to join with those rugged northeastern states in sending a solid republican delegation to congress.. - -.wV Ecnr.evii:3 .administration "released a Wil lamette vall?y survey which included an indus trial meppir j cf the Corvallis area," says a news i::m. It shows, the -itory goes on, "several nr.all sites, ranging up to a city block or more L. size, available . . . Yhat it adds up to, far r j we can cee, is that there are some vacant lots ii Ccrv-llis. "Ifo Favor Sway Vt; No Feat Shall Awe" from first SUtesxnan, March 28, 1851 Slabwood Willamette valley sawmills will be able to supply 500 cords of slabwood daily to alleviate Portland's fuel shortage, State Forester Nels Rogers announces. That may not entirely solve Portland's fuel problem and it involves the un fortunate circumstance that the wood, unless it was cut some months ago, will be quite green. . But that same circumstance would have applied to the wood which a federal agent proposed be cut by convict crews. . Slabwood pretty largely dropped out of the picture some years ago, partly because in the deep' depression years a great many sawmills were idle, because many of the mills were farth er and farther from the cities, because there were plenty of men who wanted to cut cord wood for a living and because slabwood was in poor repute anyway; That disrepute, we have always felt, was unearned. Slabwood comes off the outside of the log; you don't get the heart But it's good wood for all that; and if when stoked into a furnace set for bulkier wood chunks it burns too fast, you can regulate that ' We've been too choosy and therefore waste ful. If slabwood comes back into its own, it will be victory for conservation. And given a decent chance, it will do a satisfactory job of heating. If as we suspect there is no adequate supply . of dry slabwood, so that green slabs will have to be used, that is unfortunate. News Behind , the News By PAUL MALLON fOtotrtbutloa by- King rMturea Syndicate. In& Repra ductioo to who! or la pert dricUy prohibited.) WASHINGTON, Sept 14 In an academic way, without providing a public exhibition; the Baruch report' fairly well paddled Mr. Leon Henderson and the other negative-thinking, crack-down, doom peddlers, who have been filling the air and the 7 old glasses as a luxury. They saw only trouble ahead to be met by further and further denials by the people. ;.:.V Now comes the Baruch report, like a ray of realistic light It looks straight at the civilian automobile as a transportation necessity, without which we will lose the war. It proposes a policy to keep cars running, and holds out hopes mat they will continue Indefinitely in service, if rubber use is conserved by gas-rationing until synthetic rubber production comes In big. ' " . It Is neither rosy. nor melancholy. It says we "can." One official exception to this between-the-lines lashing was implied by the report In general, it took somewhat the same line as WPB Transporta tion Coordinator Eastman's unpublished and sup pressed report on the same problem. - Mr. Eastman la czar over everything on wheels . In this country now. Including the automobile, al though no one seems to know it, particularly the office of price administration. His report was lost in the shuffle of Inter-bureau conferences, as well as his authority over motor cars. The OPA Just stepped in and took over. Pri marily, Eastman wanted to give gas for essential needs, and he wanted a general overall control plan, such as Baruch has suggested. The Baruch report thus seemed to' point an un observed finger in the general direction of Mr. Eastman, who already has the authority (he got It by executive order weeks ago) as well as the proper theories, (the Baruch committee had access . to bis unpublished report), to direct policy-making on auto use. : . Of course, the rubber "czar" Baruch suggested would be a rubber production business man con cerned only with that phase. They are saying national gas rationing will be put into effect In a few weeks, but they mean a few months. Not only the printing, of rationing ' cards will hold them back. They will need a new and different system than that in effect in the east and It will have to be worked out carefully Basically, the eastern system gives four gallons a week to everyone who has a car, whether or not he has any real use for either the gas or the car. This Is a passable arrangement in the- east where distances are short bus transportation good. It leaves enough gas for essential business needs. Out In the great open spaces, the problem Is different Four gallons Is not enough , for anyone who must go any place, and too much for the small town residents who live within a few blocks of everything. A -good guess Is that this may take 60 or 80 days. The announcement of the American Automobile association (representative of the motorist) mat the Baruch report is a "realistic document" is a fairly good indication that it will meet little resist- . ance from the automobile owner. ! - , The AAA was the first organization to come forward publicly, with a protest against the gov ernment tendency to consider the automobile a luxury, and urging an affirmative policy (advocated earlier in this column) to provide as much auto transportation as possible. . Now If Mr. Baruch will only straighten out the , confusing draft policy and speeches, and level them downlo an affirmative basis of. meeting the ut most requirements of civilian life, consonant with the -necessity of doubling the size of the army, anddo the same thing with the economic policy and production, the whole of War government will be switched from the initial "crack-down, doom is coming" negations (which were necessary in the first phase of a hurred war start) to a common sense, affirmative, efficient permanent war basis. wwssl- CO. , i publlcatlno of all la this newspaper. newspapers, for nine long months, wlththeir "can't' r chants.

He always did when he talked to others, though he could chatter to himself with out much trouble that was one of the points he had noted for the doctors, though he suspected they didn't believe him, and of course It was something he couldnt prove. Just now, with all the ; extra ; 1 excitement his ' stammer was worse than ever not , a mere tongue-tie, but a nervous": tie that . convulsed his entire head and face. He stood mere,, trembling, and straining for speech, at last managing to explode a word; the woman said nothing In answer, but after a ' long scrutiny began sidling away. 7 He relaxed when she had gone, hoping she would i Just : return :. with the cigarettes and not oblige him to say more, wondering If she would think it odd if he stayed to smoke one of them In the shop.

It was a pleasant ; experience, he wished it could go on longer, but then he heard the old woman's fdotsteps re turning from some inner room behind the shop; with a final smile, he summoned enough en ergy to walk away.
