New World Wfflkie'a Idea
The big house on the hill surrounded by
mud huts has lost Its awesome charm.
Wendell Willkie.
so
Two Tears -ago end strangely, though
much has happened,, in this relation the time
aeems short Wendell Willkie had an idea about
America. America was sick; Willkie had an
idea he thought would make it well. It was not
exclusively his idea; a great' many others had
grasped it in some degree. But there was none
who possessed both his grasp of the idea and
his ability to implement it with leadership.
Fortunately and unfortunately, Willkie was
not a politician. Fortunately for . if he had
been a politician, he couldn't have grasped the
idea. Unfortunately for-he didn't know how
to make the most effective political capital of
it. Furthermore, he was never quite able to
give it the fullest, most convincing expression
Still, he didn't do so badly. He expressed it well
enough to convince twenty two million Ameri-
i half million more, he would have made a sale.-
Willkie'a idea wasn't news; . it was just the
old American idea brought down to date; It
was born of his middle west, middle class ex
- perience. It involved realization that the. old
American idea had worked; had succeeded bet
ter than any other idea the world ever had v
tried. But it also Involved realization that '
Americans on th ewhole had so progressed in
education and understanding of their environ
ment that it was no longer possible to exploit
them in the old way commercially and indus
trially. What he asked was that they refuse fur
ther to be exploited in the new way politically.
But the core of the idea was that the old Ameri
can system would work, and work to everyone's
advantage, if a basis of simple justice could be.
established with "special privilege" of the old
soil curbed on the one hand, and "class war
fare" discarded on the other. In other words, -.
there was plenty in America so why did any
one need to be grabby? He visioned an Ameri
ca something like that Indiana town in which
he grew up, where there was no big house on
the hill and no mud huts below; where money
and possessions didnt matter much because
everyone lived comfortable, every man en- -Joyed
social equality to the , extent that his
behavior merited, and everyone was spiritually
free..." "rv::vv'-i-'''-:''''-- ;
Now it is the world, and not particularly
America, that is sick. Wendell Willkie has just .
flown around the world, taken a good look at it
largely from.above where the perspective is
good, but at various key points he got down
to earth and talked with common people; what
a gift-that man has for talking common prob
lems with common people!
In reporting to the American people what he,
had seen in so far as military considerations
permitted and what he thought about what
he had seen, Willkie reiterated what he had said
en route of lend-lease aid and its adequacy,
and of second fronts and the spirit of attack.
But the meat of his report, the part that aroused
spontaneous interest an dthought and discus
sion, was that portion which dealt with the fu
ture; with what this column has been discus
sing under the heading "new world."
And though many deprecate such discussion
now while there is a war to be wonand brand
it futile, Willkie showed why it is on the con
trary necessary because those people across
the ocean are asking, and our people who have
sons in the fighting, are asking: What of the
future? What of the post-war world? Must it
be only, more of the same? Must we go through1
all this-again, and again? A period of miserable
oppression, a period. of bloody, revolt; oppres
sion, revolt is this-all the world offers, now
and forever? "But note especially this: While
the questioning persists, and the answer is i
withheld, the -solidarity of those fighting op
. pression is-imperiled, the fighting impeded!
But Wendell Willkie has an idea. Not a new
idea? His idea for America will work equally
well for therof Id. In the world as in America
and on this point economists agree there is
plenty. Plenty for the world's two billion in
habitants; plenty for four billion, if production
and distribution are properly organized. So why
should anyone be grabby? Willkie found that
v elsewhere, as in America, the people have so
progressed that it is. no longer possible to ex
ploit them in the old way imperialistically. All
the world needs is a basis of simple justice with
"imperialism' curbed on the one hand and
"race warfare' discarded on the other; He
visions a world of communities something like
that Indiana small town in which he grew up;
where there'll be no- house on the hul big
. enough to arouse bitter .envy, and no mud huts
below; where, money and possessions won't
mean much because everyone will live com
fortably, every man win enjoy social equality to
the extent that his behavior merits, and every
one will be spiritually free.
It's as simple as that and yet it will take
a lot of doing. The need, chiefly, will be leader
. ; ship. Wendell Willkie is not offering leader
ship; Be is pleading that America accept leader
ship. '"' v
In two years Wendell Willkie has grown.
Today he has a better .grasp of his idea. He
expresses it better but iie still lacks ability to
give it the fullest, most convincing expression.
He'll have opportunity to perfect that ability
before this fight, for American acceptance of
world leadership, is won.
mention of it in the Bend Bulletin. A day later
it was discussed in the Coos Bay Times.
' This feature of the amendment la a clinching
addition to the adverse arguments previously
enumerated here. The people of Oregon, or the
legislature, should retain .the privilege of put
ting "rolling" personal property back on the
tax rolls particularly busses and' trucks. In
fact an interim study of this matter has been
made since the last legislative session. Any fa
vorable report by the interim committee would
be nullified if this amendment were enacted
; by the 'people."'.; j-v-,:::''
A question even more interesting than the
apparent failure of legislators, not to mention
the public, to realize that this provision was
in the amendment draft, is: Who dealt that
joker? With three guesses, we'd have to guess
the same way each time.
"Look upward, the inspirational speakers
used to urge. And in Sunday school we sang
"Brighten the Corner Where You Are. Still
Okeh. But don't "let your light so shine that
any direct rays extend upward out-of-doors.
Who Dealt That Joker?
Delay in appearance of the voters pamphlets
possibly explains the lack of attention given,
until the last few days, to the circumstance
that the proposed constitutional amendment
"specifying exclusive use of gasoline and motor
vehicle taxes' contains language which would
prevent the levying of an ad valorem tax on
such vehicles. About the time we received A.
' L. Lindbeck's "safety-valve" letter calling at
tention to the "joker" we saw the first published
"My Day" will begin five hours earlier while

WASHINGTON Oct 27 Most painful vote of
the year for senators came on the Lee proposal to
dry up army camp areas, although the yipes were
confined to the cloakroom.
It made the author, Senator Lee, of Oklahoma,
the most unpopular man In
congress. ; .
With the election in which
they -must face the voters only
next week, here was Senator
Lee (whose own election situa
tion at home was reported more
favorable than theirs) requir
ing them to vote on a proposi
tion which the dry voters want
ed and their administration did
not want
As uncomfortable as any was
the Administration Leader Al
ben Barkley, of Kentucky. He
was an old-time dry, and in
1917 proposed the house bill which brought the
first prohibition, a bill prohibiting the use of food
stuffs for the manufacture of liquor in wartime.
War Secretary Sttmson's opposition to the amend
ment, and perhaps some other pressure on Barkley
that was not so obvious, made him take another
stand this time. He could not do otherwise, as he
was the leader. Y
It was he who figured out the side-tracking
device, by which the whole matter was thrust
back into the senate military affairs committee.
What is known as "the liberal element Is now
going after the war department news bureau for
not having told . us and incidentally, also the
Japs that one of the Doolitue bombers was lost
in the Tokyo raid last April. This group has long
cast a longing eye at the war, as well as the navy,
news sections, as the only two remaining outside
Elmer Davis OWI fold.
Other matters being brought up against the war
news department are that it publicly indicated
Ford's bomber -production was under way long
before the assembly line was actually turning out
any appreciable number of planes, and that it got
involved in a financial mess in a prize fight
, "The fact Is the department publicity was techni
. cally accurate, but deceptive in what it failed to
tell about the bomber lost and the Ford production.
If there are two subjects which can be con
sidered valid military secrets, it is the subjects of
losses and plane production. If the American pub
lic was ill-informed, so was Hitler, and the results
of that action will do the public more good than
If the announcements were candidly made. i
As f or the Loui-Conn Sent, it was not a military
secret and does not matter.
The only reason the subjects are being mentioned
la to put civilian authority over war and navy.
No one contends the OWI would have handled the
matter any differently.
Tbis government has always stood against civi
lian or political administrative control of either the
army or navy. The. idea was to make them inde
pendent keep them out of politics.
While - the commander-in-chief" in the White
House has, always been their constitutional head,
the reduction of their press system to subservience,
"under civilian government adniinistration, would
be a revolutionary encroachment.
The Davis experiment in centralized control of
government news (and official views as well) has -developed
into a novel news dispensing administra
tion. C-vV;'' "' '-'J-,- : ', rv -:; :
The only way to describe it is that it follows
the line of the personality of one man, Mr. Da vies
fairness, levelheadedness, 5 b u t unexpectedly
strong power. Out of it you get straighter news
but I think, less news. t a
An example was the strangely objective and
detailed analysis of American plane efficiency,- an
nounced by Mr. Davis. In it he said some of them
were as bad as had been said, but some types were
good, and all would be better.
Vo one questions the facts Mr. Davis set forth,
but for the government to announce that anything
it had done was not the best ever done, and that
anyone who said differently was a liar, was a start
ling innovation in government publicity.
- Here you had the government not only con
ducting its own advertising, but its own criticism. .
Not only in tone, but in administration, Mr.
. Davis is both strong and unique. All officials are
required to clear their speeches, as well as their
announcements, through him. Even the independent
war production board publicly has been taken over
by him. .
The result is a tightening up on tongues all down
.the line. Subordinate experts in various govern
ment departments axe afraid to discuss matters
with newsmen.
Thus the notably efficient formula for censor
ship and news which Mr.' Davis has-worked out
is proving both good and bad. ; It has aided con
fusion In official statements, but it has tended to
promote uniform news, to destroy independent ini-"
tiative in reporting, and, therefore, on the whola
to permit less news '

Letters from Statesman Readers'
' To the Editor: The commer
cial fishing industry of Oregon,
which has brought millions of
dollars annually into this state
objects to the coastal streams
closure hul, appearing' on the
November ballot for one im
portant reason. It is a "waste
ful" bill placed before the voters
at a time when we cannot afford
to waste anything. r i5
. This measure known as. "Sen
ate Bill 53" and the "Steelhead
BUT is advocated by" its pro
ponents on the grounds that it
will divert the present commer
cial steelhead catch 'on the '
streams affected to the sports-'
men end from the ; commercial
fishermen. Both sides are in
agreement in statements that -this
catch amounts to about 200,-
000 pounds of steelhead per "r
year. This is less than one per
cent of the total Columbia and
coastal commercial - fish catch
and only about S per cent of the
coastal catch alone.
- If nothing else was affected
that this diversion alone you
would never h a v e - seen thi :
measure opposed The total
amount is not worth a good sized
.argument. '..- ..
The central point of our op
positioh is that in endeavoring .
to affect this diversion of a small
amount of steelhead. to them- t
selves the Sportsmen have put -up,
a measure which, if passed.
win deprive- the- industry. -of
exound 2,000,000 pounds of other
valuable food fish or about half
the total coastal catch at pres
ent The sportsmen state that
their bin by its seasonal limita- .
tion wfll affect only 2.7 per cent
of the commercial take, a- figure
directly contradicted by the
Oregon fish commission which
says that it wfll reduce the total
take at least 10 per cent The
rest of the loss is entailed by a
provision In the bill barring the
use of setnets in this fishery. '
Geographical conditions are such
that no other gear than setnets is
practical on these streams and
the Industry has a precedent for
the use of this gear. The most
carefully guarded fishery In the
world is probably that in Alaska,
controlled completely by - the
federal wild life r bureau, yet
setnets, constitute one of the set
nets constitute one of the main
types jof gear permitted to fish In
Alaskan waters. ; "
We ! ask the voters to think and ,
ask themselves if it is reasonable
that we should lose 2,CC0,CD0
pounds of needed food in these .
days of threatened meat ration--Ing
to save a small amount of
steelhead for sport fishing. We
think the answer Is no. ( 1 i t 1

again, I saw that we had talked

stream through stained-glass
windows to dazzle the faces of
Anglo-American Cement share
holders. From the report after
wards sent out with the divi
dend, I find that rainier spoke
as follows:
. i "You wfil be tdadtto' know -.ri
mat our sales have continued to
increase throughout the year,
after a somewhat alow beginning
ing, and that prospects of con
tinued Improvement are en-
' eouraging. The 1 government's
national ' defense ' preparations
during the September ' crisis of
last year led to additional con
sumption of cement throughout
the country, and this, at prices
we were able to obtain, resulted
in g enerallys ausf actory busi
ness. During the year we open
en a new plant at Nottingham
-Which we expect to enhance
production very , considerably
during the coming year. Your
directors are constantly watch
ful for any opportunities of fur
ther economies, either , by tech
nical, developments or by the
' absorption of competing com
panies, and with these aims In
view, it 1s proposed, in addition
to, the usual dividend of 10 per
cent, to Issue new shares at 41
shillings wd sixpence in the
' proportion of one to five held by
existing aaareholdera.' (Load
applause.)
We had had no chance for
private conversation en our way
to the meeting, for the secretary
of the' company had driven with
- us; and afterwards- there was a
director's hotel lunch that did
not - disperse ; until almost , t ' J
o'clock. As I went to retrieve our
hats at the-cloak room I over
heard comments on how Bain
ier has been in grand form, look
ing so much better; wonderful
year It had been; wonderful the
way he'd "pulled . the Anglo
American out of its earlier dol
drums remember when the
shares were down to five bob?
nice packet anyone could have
made who'd helped himself In
- those days well, maybe Rainier
did, why not? after alL he'd
had faith In himself, faith in the
business, faith. In the country
that's what was wanted,' pity
more 5 than people didn't have! t
' later, as we were driving
away, I . repeated . the compli
ments to Rainier, thinking they
might please him. He shook his
head somberly "Dont call It
faith, I haven't had faith In any
thing for years. ' That artist fel- .
low, laity's young man, told me i
that when, he was drunk and 1
he was right Faith la something
deeper, more passionate, less de 1
rislve,'more tranquil wan any
thing rve ever felln board
rooms and offices that's j why
peace won't come to me now .
Gad, rm tired! '
"Why dont you go home and
rest?"
He stared at me Ironically. "So
simple, isnt it? Just gb' home
and rest Like a child. , . . Ox
tike an old man. The trouble Is, '
rm neither Or else both." He
suddenly patted my arm. "Sorry,
don't take any notice of : my
bad temper."
