Retreat From Communism'.
The dissolution 'of the "Communist Interna
tional" announced Saturday from Moscow is an
event of global important. If "the resolution is
fulfilled it will mark the end of the organiza
tion forced to foment world revolution; on the
basis of the 1848 manifesto of Karl Marx and
Fredrich Engels." It Will mark the return of.Eus-
sia to-the society"; of nations. It will also nit
asunder the ties which have bound to Moscow
the communistic organization of the world--
Years "ago Russia declared its purpose; to
abandon world revolution. Lenin's NEP. ."new
economic' policy," was a radical, change in the
party line; and Stalin's decision to concentrate
on -Russian progress brought about his breach
with Trotsky, who held to the thesis that social
ism could not succeed in j one country "alone,
would have to encircle the world. The decision ,
now announced destroys the central organiza-
tion which remained as. the fountain-head of
' world communism. j , V
Skeptics may say that this is merely a ruse;
but we doubt it. It is a device used opportunely
by Stalin to ditch the organization which has
made Russia the outcast among the nations. The
ideas of communism will survive; but Without
the directing stimulus ot Russian leadership and -without
support from Moscow, the communist
cause in other lands will languish, unless it can
develop leadership and "a program of its. own.
This Internationale which is ordered dissolved
is the Third of the breed. The first was. organ
ized in London in 1884 and lasted for ft years.
The Second Internationale existed from 1889 to
1914. They were western European, deriving
a following in England, France and Germany.
The Third ' was formed in Moscow by the tri
umphant bolshevik! in 1919, and with the pres
tige of the Russian revolution became a world
threat. . . . "
The ostensible purpose of the dissolution, as
set forth in the resolution, is to encourage the
"masses'' in all-out support of their govern
ments "in. order to rout the Hitlerites as quick
ly as possible and secure friendly cooperation
of nations on a basis of equality.". This simply
means emphasis on unity to fight fascism and
post-war cooperation in the same; spirit.
The1 effect of this pronouncement should itself
be tomc'ib the allied cause. Germany has re
sumed .its' propaganda line that it was the bul
wark against ' Russian communism. Countries
and institutions located west of Russia have
long entertained a great fear of Russian com
munism; and as long as the Communist Inter
nationale existed, with which the Russian gov
ernment was' closely, identified, no disclaimers
of intent to force revolution oh the world-would
be accepted. So Goebbels has had an audience,
and has even now, among those who feared
communism more than they did Hitlerism. t The
Moscow declaration takes the wind out of Goeb
bels's sails. '! '
There will be many to voice suspicion of Rus
sia's sincerity. We are inclined to accept the
order as valid, representing the normal-line of
Russian retreat from the philosophy of I97 to
'the more practical one of 1943 which calls for
international cooperation. We will still have-our
: domestic-reds to deal with, but from here on
. they will have to operate on their own. Russia,
as a government, is making this as a gesture
of respectability for restoration in good standing
in the company of nations. We should accept
the declaration as made in good faith, unless
and until it is shown otherwise.
Enough, Soon Enough
On Attu it's all over but the shouting and per
haps a bit of mopping up.
The shouting obviously should not be so loud
i nor so prolonged as that inspired by the con
quest of Tunisia, which really was a major vic
tory and moreover marked the enemy's expul
sion from an entire continent upon large por-
tions of which he formerly held a strong grip.
. Attu is just a little island and the. experts tell
us it is less important offensively than defen
sively. The Nips, now that we hold Attu, won't
be able to make much use of Kiska; may have
to abandon it. But, they claim, neither is of
much use to us as an offensive air base because
of weather conditions. r '
Regardless of Attu's physical importance, the
victory there raises a significant point. Ameri
can forces have suffered some serious defeats
in the Pacific, though most of them occurred
some months ago. Nothing much of that sort has
happened lately. But to the best of our recol
lection, no offensive deliberately launched by
American forces has failed. All our defeats oc
curred when we were on the defensive. Guad-
. alcanal, New Guinea, Tunisia and now Attu.
Though we knock on wood, it does seem that
when Uncle Sam starts for somewhere it is as
" good . as ; accomplished except for paying the
cost, which we have noTntention of overlooking.
$ One conclusion might be that the attacker
has the advantage. That's true only in that his
is the choice; the benefit of opportunity to mass -men
and materiel at the chosen point. Certain
'contrary advantages belong to the defender, .
- especially if there are beachheads to be estab
lished, r-w- il
-The proper conclusion, on the contrary, is that '"
Uncle Sam has a sufficient number of leaders
sufficiently well yetsed in logistics that nor at-
tack is wasted. They refuse to start what they
can't finish. One result has been vast impatience '
at home. But now, looking at the record, it ap-t
pears that when the next offensive is started'
we at home will, feel justified
confidence that the bbjecUve will be taken in" oianomer. - Tne
due course. And confidence in the plannera ls
most decidedly a comfortable, even a grand and"
glorious, feeling. , .

"No Favor Sway Us; No Fear Shall Awf
Tram First Statesman, ilarch 28, 1531
Below Yesler Way; f . ....
Seattle's old "skidroad" area "below Yesler ;
way is again in the news, and as usual, in an
' unfavorable light. This "bottom of the hill! has t
. always been the bottom of the heap; as far: as
; humanity goes, the resort of bundle stiffs, hop I
heads, tramps, two-timers, human derelicts of t
both sexes; the district with taverns, cheap ho- .
tels, "bawdy houses, j Commanding officers at
Paine field, Everett, and McChord field. Fort .
. Lewis, have., put 74 blocks f the district "out :
of bounds", which means it is forbidden: terri
r tory f or soldiers on leave.; The announced rea
son was the great increase in venereal disease
among enlisted men . of the commands, traced ..
to this source. ;
Now : the mayor and city council have their
heads in their hands pondering on what to do
over this very old and very difficult problem,
control of prostitution. One councilman, report- -edly
a clergyman, is quoted as favoring estab
lishment of a restricted district, a revival of
the old "red light" district, plus sanitation He
says in effect, "Vice is here; why ignore it; why
not regulate it?" Most public health .authorities
scoff at the efficacy of "sanitation" which means
frequent examination" of women prostitutes,
and their isolation and treatment if venereal :
- disease is discovered. These authorities point
put that contamination may occur immediately
following examination and not be caught until
. the next periodical roundup. As a rule these
authorities oppose establishing a restricted dis
trict because, they say, that very fact advertises
' its business and mcreases the exposures. -. ' .
Seattle has always been pretty much of an '
open town, from the Alaska goldrush days of 'l
'98. .There, vice has been more than "woman's
oldest profession"; it has been business; some
times big business, and nearly always mixed up
. with politics, j
Seattle has had its spasms of reform, and re
form with teeth in it. Some thiry years ago in
such a surge of civic virtue Mayor Hi Gill was
recalled, in the midst of senational revelations
and insinuations which involved the chief of
police, publisher of a city paper, and other
prominent citizens. Preacher Mark Matthews
led the crusade and won fame which followed
him through life. After the clean-up had lasted
a few years, Gill caught the rebound and was
, elected mayor again. His later term was un-.
eventful, save for the color he himself supplied.
In Oregon, under the prodding of directives
of General DeWitt and cooperation of state and
local authorities, control measures on prostitu
tion have been stringent. Either full prohibi
tion or steady repression has been followed in
nearly all cities.. The; state board of health re
ports, widen have been referred to from time
f to time In this column, show no severe incidence
of venereal disease, even, in Multnomah county.
Portland follows something of the "scattera
tion" policy with 'occasional ' round-ups ? and?
health-checks. If Seattle , would wrestle more
vigorously with its sins it could keep its house
in order and not have the army put up "no tres
pass" signs, backed with sturdy M. P.'s, over
an area as large as 74 blocks. Where there is
will a way usually is found, even with as tough
a problem as commercialized vice.
in aN feeling of
m uiuauer nfiinmon 01 xreeaom man tnai which
came out of the Revolution of 1688, just as 1633
widened the freedom of Magna Charta. Today the
' conception of freedom -t2 once again taking on a
larger meaning. Our generation is thinking of the
.threat to freedom which comes from poverty and
insecurity, from sickness and the slum, from social
and economic conditions frn which human beings
cannot be free. Raymond B. Fosilck ta rockefeller

- Old Oregon Trail Centennial Series
The great fur industry, received its death blow
in 1840. Prince Albert Consort of Queen Victoria,
inbodeeed the tall silk hat' in that year and the bea
ver was on its way out Bad times had come upon
the free and independent trappers who had made
imperishable history for the west. The old care
free, hard-drinking, ' hard-riding, hard-fighting,
free-loving vagabond days were over for the Moun
tain Men. What to do was the question. Robert
Newell, a leader among the Mountain Men, supplied
the answer. He suggested to his old trapper pals
that they emigrate, to the Willamette Valley. The
idea stuck, so on August 5, 1840 Robert Newell,
Joe Meek, William Craig, Caleb Wilkinsand a few
others Set out from Fort Hall with three light wa
gons which had been abandoned by the missionar
ies.. With them were their Indian wives' and half
breed children. It was not an impressive cavalcade
by any means not one you would associate with
empire building, but it deceived its looks. ,-
Newell led the way through sage and sand to
Fort Boise, where they saw the cart Whitman had -left
there four years before. From Fort Boise no
wheeled vehicle had ever gone. Newell and his men
proceeded on their way, making wagon tracks and -history
across the Blue Mountains and on to the
Whitman Mission, , where Meek left his young -daughter,
Helen Mar Meek, to go to school and
grow up to be a lady. After a short visit with the "
Whitmans, Newell and his party pushed on to Fort
Walla Walla on the Columbia. There the wagon
tracks ended, but the way had been blazed.. New
ell's party had added three hundred miles' to the .
wagon trail and another chapter to western history.

- "Lady," he said, "this is where
I was going; but X didn't know
it. I'd be right proud to milk a ,
cow or two for you. If I haven't
forgotten how. And Pve led and
bedded down a few horses in my
tune.- Uxfi'V:.: - :;'ri
"I wouldn't dream of putting
you out," Ann said. - j
J Christopher smiled affably.
Then 111 stay," said he.
- '. Ann found her milking stool
somewhat;: precarious. It had
three legs, and seemed to want
to balance on only two of them.
She had been fourteen when, un
der her father's, amused ' audi-j
ence and!: the farmer's tutelage,
she had (milked her last cow.
Now she discovered that there
was much to bovine technique
that could be forgotten in a lapse
; of eight years. The milk, instead
Kit pouring fulsomely into the
pail before her,' seemed to re
main an L unobtainable ' quantity
within the cow. Also a cow's
tan was. a more important fac
tor in milking than she remem
bered it to be. It swished inces
santly, tickling her cheek,-and
on the off . strokes whipping
across .her neck with the sting
of. a lash.
: "This 'is definitely a three
banded business," she conclud
ed, as the cow ceemed about to
ait on her lap, and then, with an
abrupt change of mind, planted
, one foot in the milk pail, instead.

fortified wine which Is preferred
while table wines, those of light
er alcoholic content, are in les-
sened .demand.
The consequences of Increased
consumption, e s p e c I a 1 1 y of
stronger liquors is noted In In
creased 'drunkenness, which Is
becoming a serious problem In
: cities, and a cause of a lot of the
' absenteeism in Industry..
I think; public sentiment In the
state has given too much atten
tion to the profits of the liquor
trade, as available for public
welfare, and too little attention
to the menace of intemperance.
The pressures have been more
for raking in the profits and less
for trying -any method for reduc-
fng coTunjmptkai -and lessen mg
drunkenness. ; This year the leg
islature moved the expectation
of profits from the liquor com
mission' up to $12,000,000 from
$6,799,900 in ; 141.
With the great increase in
liquor consumed, stocks of whis
key, not now being ; manufac
tured, may be exhausted, dryiryj
the country up without benefit
of legislation. It is doubtful if
this administration will " permit
anything like that to happen.'
More probably it will permit the
distilleries to take a holiday
from making war alcohol and
- turn their plants for a time at
least to making liquor.
But this may happen: the so
cial evils flowing from this gen
eral drinking may cause such a
public revulsion that prohibition
will . come in again. . Even the
liquor Interests admit this is pos
sible, though few of them do
anything to stop the conditions
. which might bring prohibition
' back. ' r . .
Prohibition requires more than
just a law. It needs also general
respect for it and general . ob
servance of it. To restore it un
der other conditions would be to
invite wholesale disregard for
: law i and widespread political
corruption; and . impose an Al
most impossible task on police
authorities under existing condi
tions. - - . ;:
The immediate need la for mass
- education, for propaganda' and
. widespread distribution of infor
mation on the evils of intemper
ance, its contribution to highway
accidents, industrial - accidents
and loss of efficiency. Accom?
panyina such education ought, to
. be measures for more rigid con
trol, either by regulation of the
governing commission, or by the
legislature, looking to reverse
the . trend . toward ' greater per
capita consumption with its re
sulting greater drunkenness and
attending crime. A very proper
beginning would be for greater
individual restraint in indul
gence in liquor.

Oh, such a nice bossy," she
Ironically, applauded.
There was a chuckle from the
next stall, and the slap of an au
thoritative hand. Then silence,
and the efficient oscillating
sound of .milk spattering into a
paO. Che was still - struggling
wim Bossy's non-co-operative
right hind leg, when the quick
spurts of milk in Christopher's .
: paH became ostentatiously foam-,
deadened. . . .-
His kind of efficiency was tm
. bearable. I suppose,' she threw
out in a, cutting non sequitur,' .
"that your driving record is ab
solutely clear, . too.' How come
you didn't throw it up to me
the jam I got in today?" --
"As a matter of fact," he eon
fessed, "l almost got arrested
' myself this morning." - '
Tor what?"
"Speeding." 'J:.rj
"How fast were you going?" -j
"About a hundred an hour." .
. She snorted. "In what?"
. "My car." ' , ',' ,i
She snorted again. ;'
"You don't believe me," be said
grlevedly.
"I wouldn't believe "you on a i
bet" . -. , I
"But why not? he asked her ;
. curiously. . , ' ' 'I
I , "Dont be silly," she answered,
woman-like. "Let's be quiet for.v
a time." It was next to lmpos-
sible to talk and milk together,
a little like the game children
I play of patting their heads and
rubbing circles over their stom- '
' achs at the same time.
A thin stream played across
, her ankle. "Bad aim, sister," she
muttered. But she was getting
'back to the knack of it. By this
time, she was matching prac
' tically every hiss into Christo
pher's pail with oae of her own.- -"I
hope you're properly im-.-pressed
with . the sounds you
hear," ; she , mentioned after a
.small silence. ; ; . , j -
"I am," he said, lAnd I'm ev
en more impressed with the cows
who seem to have an endless
supply of the richest looking
milk I ever saw." , ,
"My father believed only In
. blooded stock."
"Good for him!" '
"That's why I've shied away
from a wholesale exodus to the
slaughterhouse. Even the chick
ens are aristocrats In their own
"way.". - ' v, -
"Are there chickens, - too?"
- Christopher asked.'.
"ThereH probably. ''be 'hund-'
' reds of eggs accumulated what
with Tompkins loafing most of
the week."
"Good Lord," exclaimed Chris
. topher, "what a place for the
Baron!"
"The Baron?"
"The Baron Bismark von Of
ferin. I told you about him, did-
n't I?" . .
"Yes, I remember," said Ann
dryly; "Your German Champion
stud. You said I ought to meet
him sometime." A - - -
"You must. He's magnificent.
If I had a place like this to live
v on, the sky would be his limit"
; "Dear me. what a fellow!"
' ; "He certainly is. Would you
: I mean Tve been thinking I
mean it wouldn't be such a bad
idea, iff you'd" ;
"Come to the point and stop
babbling," she brusquely inter
jected. "What's on your mind?"
I'd like to rent this place from
you," he came out baldly. "I no
ticed some good looking kennels
behind the stables."
"My father raised setters In
those kennels," she said, "but
r. only for a hobby. I'm afraid
..' Broad fields would be a pretty
expensive undertaking for com- '
mercial kennels."
He said nothing for a moment,
and then he brought out in a
rather strained voice, "You think
I can't swing it financially, Is
that it?"

ACTION, NOT WORDS
: Enroute to the Alcan highway.
To the Editor: r t '
Mr blood is at boiling point
again, along with thousands of
, other real earnest Americans,
over these strikes, strikes and
more strikes.
Those of us who knew John
L Lewis and his ilk personally,
could foresee the dire conse
quences to the American public,
when Franklin D. Roosevelt was
licking their boots to garner
votes for himself.
Now he boasts and boasts that
' he is commander-in-chief of the
American armed forces.
What have we goVei sop
for a commander-in-chief? ,
Why on. earth does he not act -instead
of talk? The entire male
.portion of xny family are fiht-
lag for our country. (Three sons
in the armed forces and myself
on military construction work.) -.
The boys in the armed forces
cannot have much respect ' for
their commander-in-chief unless
he acts instead of talks about
protecting them.
Sincerely,
GILE3 G. SMITH.
