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

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.

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.

. Suddenly, as he neared the
main entrance where the same
- had been painted over (though
it was still readable In burnt let- j
ten on brooms and garden tools
"Property of the Sb-and-So
County Asylum") suddenly, as
the heavily scrolled ironwork of
- the gates loomed through the fog,
a siren screamed across the emp
tiness beyond a factory siren,
, already familiar at fertain hours, :
but this was not one of them,
nor did the sound stay on the
single level note, but began soar--i
r lag up and down In wild flurries. ;
" A few seconds later another, si- '
ren chimed in, and then a third; i
by that time he waS near enough j
to the gates to see two uniformed
porters rush hatless out of the ,
lodge, shouting excitedly as they
raced up the shrouded driveway.
For the momentand he real
ized it without any answering
-. excitement there was no- lone
left on guard, no one to stop him
as he passed through the lodge
into the outer world, no one to
notice him as he walked down'
the lane towards the town. Be

things done to him, there was a
slow-burning inclination to do
things for himself, an inclination

he would go back. '; .
Nobody ran after him. The

was already gathering there in
groups, chattering, ; laughing,
. greeting each newcomer with
eager questions. Nor had the; si
rens stopped; they were louder
now, -and joined- by tram bells,
train whistles, a strange awak
ening murmur out of the -distance.
He walked on, still down-?

avoid people,, glad that the fog
was thickening as he descended.
Soon he-was aware of some ap

of crowds ahead that might cover

until, to relieve it even monen-

the corner of a street !
The Inside was dark, as he
had hoped, revealing only vague
shapes of counter, shelves and
merchandise; it seemed to be a
small, neglected general store,
smelling of its-own shabbiness.

tried to ask for cigarettes and be
gan to stammer. 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. Anyhow, it was good ,
to be alone again. Then sudden
ly he realized he was not alone.
A girl had entered, or else hair
been there all the time and he

for anything today. The war's
over you know, j that? Isn't ft
wonderful? And end you cer- '
talnly don't look as If you'd do
any harm." She smiled to sof

boy, thafs alL" 1 " St
He smiled again, a little be
wildered; somebody was talking
to him normally, casually; yet -personally
too. 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. A few sec
ond! later he stood on the pave
ment blinking to the light aware
of the prevalent atmosphere as -som
thing ; pungent an air he
