Tutkeys Again
- 1 Thanksgiving .is made " safe for . American,
democracy. . .: . ; , v . - "
Turkeys are back in the market, void of them
these many weeks. Points "for meat will, get
fresh -conservation as unrationed -turkeys step
,to the chopping block regretting they have but
one life to lay down, for their country.
And cranberries will be in greater demand, so
the market news has it, because their traditional
"mate, the turkey, returned to American tables.
The American people haVe done their patriot-
4 ic duty, -under government orders: they let
the first 12 million pounds of turkeys go for
the armed forces, and in plenty: of time that
the boys on Attu and New Guinea could get
their birds by t Thanksgiving. For turkey at
Thanksgiving is part of the "American way of
life": and! what else are we fighting for? No

-Premier Tojo found - it expedient -yesterday
to tell his people the war situation was grave.
Possibly the victory psychology diet on which
they hitherto had been 1 fed was too longer
sufficient, to maintain the: killing pace desired
of otherwise undernourished : warj workers,
and a shot of the adrenalin was prescribed. It
was nonetheless remarkable, in a land where
commonly the leaders simply tell the people
. what to think and nothing' more, that Tojo
felt Ailed upon to explain; to harmonize the
new story with the old.. , !
The United SUtes was' defeated, he still in
sisted, in the opening phase of the war. But
now he went on to explain, the United States
has recovered and is again menacing Japan.
This we recognize, is but the oral version of
an admission the Japanese fleet, by remaining
in hiding and refusing battle, made long ago
Nevertheless
" wide recognition of United SUtes supremacy
at sea. For in removing the ignorance of his
own blind followers in this matter, he virtual
ly made it unanimous. ' r
1 In the pacific, even more adequate recog-
' nition is foreseeable when that supremacy , is
translated into major offensive action. In the
Atlantic, where American and British sea pow
er is combined, it is ; difficult to imagine any
greater degree of domination than now .is en
joyed. - i '
Recent announcement that the Tirpitz, Ger
many's newest and biggest battleship, ; had
been attacked and damaged by midget sub
marines raised an interesting, question which
had almost been overlooked for monthswhere
and what is the German fleet?
- -Th-Tiraitz was hidden in a Norwegian fjord,
and so is the Scharnhorst; the two pocket bat
tleships still afloat, the Luetzow and the Scheer,
and three or four cruisers are presumed to be
in Baltic waters; possibly half a dozen destroy
ers in the fjords and ten or a dozen in the Bal
tic. Germany has one aircraft carrier, the Graf

sailors at Panama; and so will the folks at home. ;

WASHINGTON, October 2 Mr. Willkje is
turning republican. '
In energetic front page action of late, he has
sought; to correct the mechanical defects of his

For instance, he has endorsed candidates. Edge

these vessels may yet slip out to prey on com
merce, but that is all. Germany has no surface
fleet capable of doing battle, and 'now she has
lost the aid of the Italian navy such as" it was.
Germany's chief hope at sea was and is the
submarine but checkjnates for its lethal power
have been devised and sinkings of allied mer
chant ships have dwindled to the vanishing
point. The United Nations "rule the waves."
It would.be unbecoming to do more than merely
mention that, ' thanks to American mass s pro-.
duction unimpeded lgythe jmenace of enemy
air attack, . oxu jiayf, now out-bulks that of
Britain. Censorship; has been lifted, surpris
ingly, enough to let us know that the United
States paval force now numbers 14,072 vessels
and 18,000 planes ' though hot enough to
enumerate them as to classes.
So on Navy day, which is today, our salute
to the United States navy needs no qualifying
apology. In the last war the navy "took them
over and brought them back." That "job it is
doing in a bigger way now and some of the
heavier fighting as well. Army or navy, Eu
rope or Africa or" Asia, the fighting is away
from American shores and the navy has a part
in all of it. "
I "Anchors Aweigh" is a nautical, salty melo
dy with a suggestion of the fleet's competence
and readiness; its tempo reflects also the rol
. licking spirit of the American sailor who typi
cally is a highly-trained technician, no longer
the lowly .'"gob," but always a fighter. j
"Anchors Aweigh." At the end of the cruise
lies victory. . ' .
Japs in Malheur County ;
Fxrmer Governor Walter Pierce in his talks
on the Japanese "menace" to Oregon has cited
Malheur county as a horrid example. The re
cent statistics of the War Relocation authority
hardly substantiates his fears. Since Pearl Har
bor only 130 acres of land in Malheur county
have been sold to Japanese according to this
report. Of the 1600 Japanese in the county 636
are there under seasonal work permits "who
must return to the relocation camp when the
work- season ends. There are 217 more on in
definite, leave Vvv" -: '::' fi- -x ':. . ' ." ' '
There were about 135 Japanese residents of
Malheur county before Pearl Harbor. Some
700 more left the coast after December 7. 1941
and located in Malheur county. There are some
7000 acres of land in the county leased or
owned by Japanese with 643 acres in actual
ownership. -; "p-' .;.';
The truth is that the Japanese workers, were
invited in' from the relocation camp in order
to save the crops in Malheur county and .across
in Idaho. Without them there would have been
heavy losses last year and this year. While
there Is undoubtedly local feeling against the
Japs the farmers and sugar factory people
and businessmen know they are needed if the
crops are to be saved. j-
It would be better , to disperse our Japanese
rather widely so they may not constitute an
"unleavened lump" of size in any community.
That should ; come' through counsel when the
war is over. The Japanese themselves are said
to be reluctant to return to the coast in num
bers if they are not wanted. . ...; . 5
It is a grave mistake, and quite, unchristian:
to regard all Japanese-Americans and undesir
able Citizens.' White intolerance and prejudice
and abuse are the wrong approach to an in
telligent solution of the problem of race re
lations. !

committeemen are ready to plump for Willkie.
The south has been lined up and so on. , Boiled '
down, the Willkie attitude is in effect:
I can get the nomination on the first ballot
if I want it" : v; ?
The story did not have Ihe desired effect. The
reaction it left here was that Willkie is a very , ;
smart operator,' is developing into ; just as clever ;
a politician as Mr. Roosevelt, and along the same'
lines. His bandwagon seems to be a self-made nfir- -age.

Telling Kiwanis fathers that he
didn't believe they 'could do a
better thing than persuade . their
children to enter the service, the
navy's oldest man, on active duty.
Chief Boatswain's Mate George
"Shorty" Sanderson recalled . in
cidents of his colorful 41 years in
the service and pointed out ad
vantages in it today when he ap
peared at the club's luncheon
meeting Tuesday.
' Sanderson,' who was .born in
York, England, ran away from
home 4 to join the merchant ma
rine and after seven years experi
ence with itj joined the US navy
in 1882, Is serving in his third
war, having appealed' to Secre
tary of the Navy Frank Knox1 for
duty 'and being assigned to re
cruiting of 17-y e a r-olds and
Waves. He retired from the navy
16 years ago after the first world
war to become a US marshal in
the department of justice. His Sa
lem stop is part of a -tour , of the
11 states in the western .division
and he chose Oregon's capital
city to honor it oh Navy 'day.
The tiny chief, weighted j down
with ten gold stripes on "his sleeve
and three service -bars on his
chest, recalled the glorious fight
ing of the "Oregon" on which he
served in the Spanish American
war with three ."furnace stokers,"
Leahy, Yaraell and Reeves, now
all admirals, 'Among others he
has' served' with are Eddie Guest,
the poet, and Salem's own navy
recruiter. Chief Quartermaster
Robert B. 1 Fallon. The three
"stokers" were pepping the Ore
gon up to 17 knots (she could do
only, IS) chasing a Spanish ' war
ship. The crew was about to en
gage the Spanish fleet and "if we
couldn't lick, the whole bunch,
we'd lick the biggest part" of
them," Sanderson said. He was in
charge of the 16 inch' turret gun.
During world war one he fitted
sub-chasers and yachts and
training youngsters. Besides the
three wars i in which he -served,
he lists the :, Panama . and Nica
raguan ' campaigns, . and a dozen
others.
But the chief duty, today is
looking for boys- under 18 and
girls at 20 or over. Sanderson
pointed out I that any boy who
joins the navy at 17. is ready to
retire in 25 years and is worth
$70,000, from ' the , standpoint of
retirement ;pay. . As for Waves,
"all sailors love , girls," he said,
"and if s a great thingfor the
government ' to give women the
privilege they're giving them in
this country. The same pay, priv
ileges and rsr.ks. . Whus t-iey
can't go overseas, except nurses,
they're a wonderful l:t of girls
and it's the best thing that's hap
pened for women if they only
have sense enough to take advan
tage of it," he said.
Appearing also on the Kiwanis
program , was , Dr. Willjam E.
Hall, , new pastor of the Knight
Memorial church, who spoke on
man's philosophies of life, divid
ing them in to the beat 'em up,
pass 'em up and lift them up. He
pointed out that man must de
pend, upon teamwork, for human
ity cannot exist half slave and
half free, half rich and half poor
or half educated and half ignor
ant , " '. . -

"practical occupations. Its type of
education represents a breach
from the academies of 'a century
ago and longer, with their em
phasis on the classics. Born in
a - period of scientific discovery
and invention it has been di
stinctly the handmaiden of sci
ence rather than arts. At that
the land grant college is not a
mere institute of technology, be
cause liberal courses are provided
to balance the educational diet
of its students.
After a prolonged period of
controversy the place and func
tion of the state college and of
the university in Oregon are now
well defined, and generally ac
cepted. The demarcation1 drawn
by the survey commission for the
initial . unified board of higher
..education has been modified. The
changes have been in the direc
tion of freeing the institutions
' from -some of the narrow boun
daries originally drawn. The in
stitutions retain their Identity,
and each occupies a distinct field,
and each carries its peculiar cli
mate and emphasis. Under the
able leadership which each now
' enjoys there should be growth
without discord.
While naturally on this anni
versary occasion -most attention
will be given to the review of the
past from the time when in 1868
old Corvallis college, a Metho- .
dist . Episcopal church (south)
school, was designated as the land
grant institution for Oregon, with
due recognition of the contribu
tions made under the several
presidents, there will be I believe
very general expression of sat
isfaction' over the way President
Strand has taken hold at the
college. He has shown capacity
: and vigor and organizing ability.
Already a scholar in his own
right, he is proving an able ad
ministrator as welL There is
. every promise that under his di
rection the college will continue

103 reichsmarks cost 8& Swiss francs; now the
Swiss can get them for 14 V4 francs. And pur
