Framing the New League
Winston Churchill in his speech to the com
mons this week expressed the hope that in the
new world organization to preserve peace there
would be a place for the British commonwealth
and the British empire. The reference touched
one of the difficult points in any world federa
' tion: the power of the combination of nations
composing the British commonwealth in deter- '
mining world order. The commonwealth is com
. posed of Great Britain and the self-governing
dominions such as Canada, Australia, New Zea
land and South Africa. It has not been alto
gether easy to keep these British dominions in
harmony." Each dominion insists on its right to
send and receive ambassadors and ministers,
and on its right to declare war. While thus far
the dominions have operated in concert, there
is no guarantee that they will always do that.
In the matter of trade relations, Churchill
intimates that the system of imperial prefer
ence will continue, but Canada is not too sure
.it wants that in view of its close trade relations
with the United States.
When it comes to a congress of nations, just
what role will the self-governing dominions
have? Will each have one vote; or wUl the
commonwealth as a whole have one Vote? And
. if countries like Canada and South Africa have
a vote each, will the separate republics which
compose the USSR demand the same right?
In that event, would the 43 states of the United
States assert a right to a vote?
These are practical questions which arise
when one reflects on the framing of a new
organization of nations with power to invoke
force, which simply means with -authority to
call on the nations for military force. This ques
tion can hardly be answered as neatly as a
similar question in the constitutional conven
tion over the respective powers of large and
small states, when a compromise was effected
. giving representation in the house on a popu
lation basis and in the senate on a unit basis.
However, the difficulty is not insurmountable
because in the beginning the authority of the
league will depend on the common consent of
the three big powers, Russia, the United States
and Great Britain. Unless the three agree, which
means the British.commonwealth acts as a unit,
no orders for employment of force will be
issued. ;
A world federation will have to learn to do
: by doing. '
The Germans threaten to prosecute allied
pilots who are shot down during attacks on
trains and communications in Germany. Who
started this ruthless bombing anyhow? What
mercy did the nazis show' the Dutch in Rot
terdam or the British in London and Plymouth?
Did they spare women and children? Solemn
warning should be given the nazis that there
will be grim retribution if they inflict punsh
ment on allied pilots by way of revenge. And
the time is at hand when we can exact such
retribution.

Utility Rebate
What the consumers are getting from PGE
is a rebate, not a rate cut. The rate structure
stands, but the alleged excess earnings is to
be rebated to powerusers, The rebate comes
in the form of a discount on the monthly bill
rather than a check from the company office.
The deal between the public utilities commis
sioner and the company serves to end the lit
igation over the commissioner's order of a
rate cut , -. U . - .
7 The effect of the arrangement is to preserve
for the company the rate structure, and con
cedes the company point that present earnings
are swollen by wartime demand, and that if
rates were cut and consumption then declined,
the company would sufferUnder the present
arrangement the rates will not be disturbed
but the excess earnings of the past year or so
will be shared with consumers, and presumably
will be iri the future if they continue.
This may be all right for a temporary ar
rangement, but it wouldn't do for a perma
nent thing. For one reason it puts the company
at a disadvantage in rate comparisons because
the schedule Would be what would be compared
without regard to the rebate. Moreover there
is always shifting among consumers and the
rebate may be somewhat discriminatory with
in the group.
What PGE needs is to get the Pepco reor
ganization completed and then to refund its
debt at a lower interest rate and be ready to
meet postwar demands and conditions. It isn't
a financial cripple itself but so long as its hold
ing company is in the courts it is wearing hob
bles. There will be a better feeling when the
reorganization is completed and some divi
dends start trickling to whoever are stockhold
ers. Then rates can be revised on a fairly firm
basis. ; -

Also Waiting for the Big Push
Italy Yanlto Beset by Dust
But Like ItBetter Than Mud:
By KENNETH L. DIXON ' i ,
ON THE ITALIAN FRONT, May l&-(Delayed)--The
who invented that term "dirtbound doughboy" should win some
sort of award for apt phraseology. It may be overworked, but
it's absolutely; correct. . ,..!.
Last winter it was dirt in the form of mud; now. it's dirt in
the form of dust Between these two the average doughboy still
prefers the dust, even though he !
may change tus mina oeiore uw
storm ends, because never in his
life has he been so unendlessly
miserable as while he was fight
ing, eating, sleeping and living in
the cold mud throughout the win
ter. "
There was no escaping it It
covered bodies,5 clothes, hair and
even oozed into bedrolls at night
It caked and stiffened your skin.
It brought trenchfoot and a half
dozen attendant exposure ail
ments. .
Now they literally live in the
dust It billows in huge cloudy
waves along the front its snake
like streamers marking traffic on
the road for the guns and planes
of both sides.; j . t- i'
Many have .goggles of all sorts
and the old sun glasses, the rubber-rimmed
thick eye protectors
which grip the skin of the face.
Then, when they remove them,
their eyes look like those of fish
staring through an aquarium
bowL r-, -:-:t 'Tr-r-':"-
Scarves serve a multitude of
purposes. Some are worn over the
lower half of the face as mouth
and nose protectors. Others are
wrapped lightly around the head,
except!: where headgear regula
tions are strictly enforced, to keep
the dust from; making a stiff,
muddy mass out of the hair. Still
others are worn around the neck
In recognized cowboy style to
keep shirt collars from becoming
blackened in minutes. :
Like the mud, the dust is In
escapable. It fills the tents in bi
vouac areas, anywhere there is
traffic, either on wheels lor on
foot Even a brief rain only set
tles it a short time, for the Ital
ian sun and soil seem to have a
full-time agreement to. set a new
record each time for turning dirt
Into dust ' ! i
It grinds into your clothes, it
gets into your bedroll and grits
against your body in the! night
It moves in under your tent and
through your mosquito netting. , It
gets in your eyebrows, your nos
trils, your ears, even seeps into
your combat boots and gets be
tween your, toes.' ;-
It you're I a -newspaperman it
gets in your; typewriter and dries
and grits the oil until all the keys
stick and the carriage refuses to
move. It blocks the shift key un
til you're forced to write without

In short, the dust is a blankety

Eugene is grieving over the removal of Dr.
John Stark Ivans to Portland. John Stark
was the moving spirit in organizing the Eu
gene Gleemen and has directed this great men's
chorus for the-past 16 years. He is known and
loved all over Oregon, and we-are happy that
he will continue residence in the state, , though
it will be hard to think of the Gleemen with
out John Stark Evans. ' r
Winant for V-P?
Drew Pearson, who is rated as the most
unreliable of Washington columnists, sprang a
new one the other day when he said that John
G. Winant present ambassador to London, was
being given consideration by the administra
tion as a running mate for FDR. If true, Mr.
Roosevelt has probably dropped the idea just
to spite Drew Pearson,1 whom he has previously
branded as a chronic liar. But the Winant name
has its points. ,f ; - ;
Henry Wallace is no asset in the revolting
midwest so there is no need to renominate him
because of geography. The orthodox new deal
and labor vote (except that controlled by John
L. Lewis), which Wallace caters to, will go to
ARooseyelt any way. The CIO political action
group, and Dan Tobin of the teamsters have
already plunked for a; fourth term. Winant
comes from New England, which is mixed ter
ritory. He was once "republican governor of
New Hampshire, but is a left-wing republican.
He might be of considerable value in swinging .
doubtful states of the northeast. Of course, the
southern democrats would protest the naming
of any republican, but the nomination will be
dictated by the White House, and they will ac
cept it rather than, vote the republican ticket
Winant is a man of considerable ability, and
his service in London would make him familiar
with foreign affairs. He might replace Hull as
secretary of state, if he doesn't get the nod for
vice-president " tv "
The army took over a Ward subsidiary en
gaging in war -production without photographs
or blistering editorials and congressional ref
erences to the gestapo, which seems to indicate
discrimination in the public mind between a
war factory and a mail order house.
The German radio reporting on operations
in Italy reported "the disengaging movements
carried out as part of our strategy are proceed
ing according to plan." That terra "disengaging
movements" is very "engaging" to allied ears.

Desperate nazi attempts to escape a closing al
lied trap south of Rome are disclosed in surrender
of massive Mount Cairo, just north of Cassino.
That 6000-foot peak was the domlnent central
factor in the whole German trans-peninsular front
in Italy. Its loss Implies -that the enemy may have
abandoned hope of further defense of Rome.
The cutting edge of the allied attack, however,
is the Fifth army lunge beyond captured Cisterna
on the left center of the line to within gun range
of main nazi road and rail communications in the
Sacco valley. American capture of Cori on the
crest of the low saddle between the Alban hills
on th north and the LeplnU to th south has ren
dered the position of all enemy forces below that
point critical. . ' y.: .
German broadcasts tell of awarms of allied,
tanks pouring through th Cisterna gap to blitz its
defenders. The blow if driven home to Valmontone,
less than eight miles distant would cut the Via
Caulina and the main Rome-Naples railway at
that point 49 miles in the rear of German, divisions
still guarding the entrance to the Sacco valley.
There are no natural obstacles to balk an immedi
ate allied armored sweep through the . gap. And
there is every evidence that the Germans have
failed to muster reinforcements to meet the grave
; dang-er and of being cut in two. v " '

Editorial Comment

HIGHZK MATHEMATICS
The national debt has been raised to 140 bil
lion dollars by the hous of representatives. The
treasury originally wanted 280 billion. We have
not been able to ask our representative why he
and his penny-pinching colleagues quibbled over a
mere 20 billion. But it's very unlikely that h or
anyon else could tell us. :
For th national debt has passed beyond hu
man comprehension and into the same league with
Infinity. Both stagger th - imagination, defy- ex
perience, and send the senses reeling. Probably Dr.
Albert Einstein can speak a good deal more con
fidently and cogently about infinity than anybody
else can about how we're going to handle a public
debt of perhaps 300 billion or whether it's go
ing to handle us.
Now, as w understand th prolem (which w
certainly don't) it isn't simply a matter of knock
ing off. nine zeros and saying, "If a man owes so
much and makes so much money, how long will
it take him to pay off?" For nobody knows exactly
what the bill is going to be, or the size of the
income. , :
But we're going to have to pay off somehow.1
The only alternatives are repudiation or inflation,
both of which would surely knock the national
- economy flat on its face. The Interest on 300 bil
lion dollars would be 6 billion, or about what th
government ordinarily spends in a year. To pay
that means keeping the national income about
where it is now. And that in turn means full em
ployment high production, high wages, high prices
and high. taxes. v v -'
: And that brings us to an old familiar argument
which is being taken up again in high-powered
circles: How are full employment and production
to be achieved, by government spending or pri
vate enterprise? The private-enterprise enthusiasts
seem to have the best of It since government
spending never made much of a reputation for
itself as a debt reducer or a prescription for pros-
perity. '
, - So all the private-enterprise enthusiasts have
to do now is convince the other side that business,
and industry can turn the trick, and then make'
mighty sure that they really do. '
, It doesn't look like what you'd call "a-simple
task. But at least there's one comfort No one yet
th - has come up with the old on about "WelL it
:1zt, doesn't really matter, because we Just owe the
money to ourselves." .
If anyone does, he will probably be given a sheet
cf paper and a f-ir of blunt scissors and told to
go. sit quietly in the corner.. Baker Democrat

G. B. B. wants to know what
to plant with Madonna lilies.
' The usual answer is delphin-
, lums. However the lilies seem to
do well with hydrangeas that are
not too tan and with azaleas.
Both azaleas and the lilies like
leaf mold ! and both like very '
good drainage The lilies like
r sun, and If the azaleas are grow-
. 1e2 in a shady place the two do
not-combine too well. However,
' I have noted that many of the
, azaleas wSl mildew slightly If
growing in too shady places.
; 7bile the blossoms fade, a little
more 'rapidly in the sun, the
plants are much healthier. A
dappled shade seems best suited
to the azalea. But the hydran
gea will do very well in full sun
riht alor.j with the lilies.

j To the Editor:
Relative to your column, "It
Seems to Me," of May 24th I
would respectfully suggest that
- your friend Mr. MacNaughton
read, a book more pertinent to
the subject written by ' Stuart
Chase and entitled, "Where Is
the Money Coming From?" Since
: you seem to agree with him, that
the budget must be balanced,
expenditures curtailed, taxes
lowered, etc., I recommend the
book to you also.
In 'planning j for our postwar
period we need to keep one .
thought uppermost in our minds.
"What will it avail us if .we save .
'democracy abroad and lose it
here! at home?? Not once was the
question , asked, "Where is the
, money coniing frorn,n to finance
w our war effort abroad and not '
once . should the - question be
asked when an honest effort is
being made to furnish jobs for
the millions who will need jobs
in the near future.
Make no mistake about it, Mr.
Editor, the boys over there are
not fighting for the privilege of
joining a long line of unemploy
ed with its resultant misery and
starvation, with two mortgages
on every home at 8, payable
semi-annually. I
Their program calls for jobs at
decent wages and under decent
working conditions. Their dreams
of we future include a home, a
wife and babies and last but not
least,' security. : Such a program
calls for hug expenditure
throughout the nation.
On the - ether hand, Oregon
needs better highways . along
with, a Jotof other things.' We
need highways all over the Unit
ed State. well as hospitalc
snore dams land the power they
can produce. We need to -elimin- .
ate more slums and build, mil
lions of homes. We .need a de
cent) old ag pension in order to
lkk the unemployment situation.
Wt need to worry more about
how j to make democracy func
tion here at home. . - .
