"The Real Thing" -
This looks lie the real thing the new allied
attack on the 400-mile front of western Ger
many. After the period of waiting necessary
because of bad weather and for time to bring
up supplies General Eisenhower has released
his six armies in simultaneous assault on the
German defense positions following roughly the
Rhine river from the Belfort gap to the sea.
i - The nature of the plan is apparent: to apply
heavy pressure at all major points, to wear down
the enemy's resistance, to prevent, smiting or
Youth and the State
In the past, Mrs. Eleanpf Roosevelt has been
known to throw, out an idea, and then later on
the president adopts it." Which one incubates,
the idea we cannot say, but that has been a
method. One example is the limit of $25,000 a
year on incomes in wartime. f ; t
Some time ago Mrs. Roosevelt offered as a
"good idea the suggestion that all youth give
a year to the ; govenuneni, and carefully in
cluded girls in the plan: Now we find the pre
sident expressing hope thitj this winter congress

then to exploit the break-through which will year in government servjice. It wouldn't need
to be all military, he said, citing the CC and
its civilian work as sample of other worth
while activity. J j -
This proposal will meetjvith powerful oppo
sition, not. just from professional pacifists, but
from educators, churches nd political leaders
who oppose the principle of devoting the time "
of all youth for a year to the service of govern
ment. What, they may well ask; would be the
difference except in point of time, with the Hit
ler. Youth or the communist youth bands of
Soviet Russia? '
Instead of rushing through such a program
occur at whatever develop as the weak point
of the German line. Once a gap is opened al
lied mobile armor' will flew to encircle seg
ments of the German armies and to riddle
communications in the rear, f
The prime military objectives now are doubt-j
less the industrialized Ruhr and Saar basins,
and after them Berlin. These are the geogra
phic goals. The military goal is to cut. up and
destroy the German armies so Germany's pow
er of organized resistance is wiped out.
Can the allies do the job in the remaining
weeks of 1944? We think so, if only the weather
stays decent. Germany hasn't the number or
quality of troops to stem the allied tide. Our
air force cripples the enemy supply lines and
has probably cut down German war production
below the necessary replacement level. Once
the westwall is pierced or flanked there are
ho adequate defenses to do more than retard
the allied advance; and when our armies get
well into Germany the enemy resistance if it
does not collapse is apt to be fragmentary and
spuLieu. - ,
It will be a real Christmas present to the
world if Eisenhower and his six great armies
can crack the German westwall and reach be
yond the Rhine. Don't be surprised to find such
a bright orange in your Christmas stocking.

Canada's "Zombies" ; ,
The 70,000 who make up Canada's conscript
ed home army are called "Zombies' and they
re becoming quite a scandal. 1 '
' Under the law the Canadians can be con
scripted but they can't be shipped overseas, un
less they: volunteer. Thousands of Canadians
have Volunteered and have proved brave and
able fighters; but the "Zombies, ' they stay at
home. Target of much criticism, they will con- -tinue
on home guard duty unless the govern
ment changes its policy. -
But MacKenzie King, Canada's premier, is ;
not likely tochange this policy. The opposi-'
tion to conscription for foreign service comes
from the French-Canadians who are centered in
Quebec and eastern Ontario. ? King, a liberal,
depends on liberal Quebec for continuing in of
fice, the more so since the prairie provinces
have gone socialistic. If King lost Quebec his
government would fall. ;.. b "
One way .has been schemed for getting more
of the "Zombies" to volunteer for overseas duty,
and that is to rule they will not be entitled to
veterans' benefits unless they do serve overseas.
This may pry some of them loose.
Meantime, the Canadian army overseas is
calling for more men, and furnishing them is
one great, big question for Canadian officials to
ponder over. ." v ' v f; -

Editorial Comment
SCHOOL FUND AND THE
' LEGISLATURE ' , .
It is one of the oddities of an Oregon election
that the individuals seeking membership in one
or the other. house of the legislature are seldom"
chosen on the basis of definite commitments on
prospective, trills- which may ; come before them
Qce they are in session in Salem. General pro
nouncements are given and these, .apparently, are
ordinarily ' considered sufficient indication as to
what may be expected from the lawmaker. The
. record of the candidate, if he is up for reelection
is given much more weight, which is probably
as it should be. In requiring no specific assurances,
however, it seems to us that the .electorate, is pas
sing up a qualification which should be of much -
importance. . ...;..-.,..'..., .-,.;-; -L .1 . .- ..-"UT
. Be that as it may, once the vote has been count
ed and the personnel of the legislature determined,
, the advocates - of new enactments, ; repeals or
amendments become suddenly interested in the at
tude ' that representatives and senators may take
in regard to specific issues which have lain dor-
' mant since adjournment nearly two years before.
It is that time now. ... ..v .V-;
Evidence of interest is already being given and it
Is natural that among the first issues informally
presented should be. those which the election it
"self has thrown in; the legislative lap. Reference

to the expressed will of the people. It is logical

Less logical is the suggestion based on the de
feat of a proposed constitutional amendment, that

The suggestion, comes from the Klamath News
and Herald, which argues, that the measure was
defeated because It- was presented as a constitu
tional amendment. It comes from the Oregon States- '
man which goes a bit further in intimating rather
strongly lhat, because, the amendment was beaten,
the statute should be passed. It will probably be
advanced elsewhere and there need be little doubt
that there will be heavy pressure brought to bear
on the legislature from interested sources for Just"
this" sort of thing.;. i " . , -

people's decision in mind and remembering ; also '
its own action of less than two years before. in K

Community Taw Invalid
Oregon's optional community property law
goes into the Waste basket jby the ukase of the
federal supreme court in 'deciding a test case
based on a similar Oklahoma law. The decision
is not surprising. The purpose of the state law
was so plain escape of aMpart of the federal
income taxthat the court jjiiled it was invalid.
The inequity remains however, for taxpay
ers in the eight non-elective community pro
perty states are still able to divide the joint iri-come-
of husband and 'wife and so obtain the
lower rates that prevail for incomes in lower
brackets, Congress should f emove this dispar--J
ity, either by banning . the division of . Income
or else permitting' it in allstates. .

those requirements do not seem
to be in effect around here.1-

A surprise French first irmy dasH through
the Belfort gap ; to reach the upper Rhine to the
Swiss border seemed likelyf to force a German
retreat in the south for a riew stand behind the
Rhine itself. f ' . v
The southern end of the fwest front would be
, the logical place for. such a rjthdrawaL Reputedly
powerful fortifications of te Siegfried -line , lie
east of the Rhine from the Svviss frontier to Karl-
ruhe. They offer the enemy an opportunity to find
' reinforcements in; the south for his hard pressed
(troops in the Saar area and the Aachen sector,
where the main weight of tr allied six-army of
fensive is striking, without Weakening his lower
Rhine front ' j ' v . 1
Such a "disengagement" moVe on the south flank
would not greatly shorten thP21 defensive front
It would, however, release flfst line field troops,
now deployed to guard the passes of the .Vosges,
for support of those battlihi the American third
army's wide-fronted thrust af the Saar basin gate

bined British-American three irmy advance toward

Secondary troops, (independable for field oper
ations, could offer stubborn Resistance from the
Rhine fortifications along the jupper river. It seems
obvious that the supreme need of the foe as the
allied winter " "break-throughjT campaign develops
is adequate first line , reserves to meet the Saar
and Aachen af ea attacks without weakening 1 the
still . dormant , but critical Nier. Rhine front In
Holland.- : It -I'?
. By every sign 'it "is in that! Northern sector that
the German command expects the culminating al
lied attack to come in,due'coufse. The Rhine front
itself is vulnerable at that point Only extempor-
ized defensive works lie east bf the Neder Rhine
and the Arnhem gateway. Thats too is the short and
direct road to Berlin and great German north coast
Ports. j: , . '
It is there, guarding the Dutch extension of the
Siegfried line, that aUied reports have indicated,
the cream of German shock troops In the west are
concentrated. Yet the massive drive launched by
f General Eisenhower along virtually the whole nazi
line south of that Dutch sector as making such pro
gress that no nazi recourse but; Retreat or the bring

Taced by that dilemma the!
may elect to retreat behind the!
or if necessary, along; its whole length, ratter than

wants, or thinks is coming, is a
super-world state. j '"Y

tried out the Same vague idea so :

a year or two back advocating
a peace that would take us half
way to ' communist : and bring
communism halfway to us. .The
trend of the Dumbarton Oaks
agreement completely discards
this old land highly Imaginative
theory. ' .
Also' Mr. Shaw does not seem
. to have read Mr. Roosevelt's
campaign speeches, pledging
himself to free enterprise and
the democratic! system, which
has done about as well in this
war as any other, since it is
supplying the world and pro
ducing the wherewithal of vie- .'
tory. Russia clearly; could not
have won without our. help.
The philosophic Mr. Shaw
evidently is looking at the mat
ter the way most communists
and" radicals seem to - see it
without recognizing the superior
job democracy has- done and
can do. - ; - ;
But Mr. Shaw has presented
at least a correct discernment of
the forces evident behind the
news of current international
developments. He speaks of
both Catholicism and commu
nism in the philosophic sense
that Christian idealism springs
from the Bible as the opposing
communist ideal springs irom
Marx. '.v: r--
He has merely overlooked the
fact that the Bible, in its philo
sophic essence, also represents
the democratic ideal of the in
dividuality of the human soul,
.of the personal being of a man,
and it is not compatible with his
enslavement Ato the state as in
fact, Marx himself recognized in
his characterization of all reli-
Of
orr
mpnmre
i)
These two ideals are just as
far apart as the savagery Shaw
mentioned in relation to mating
as he calls it and marriage as
the Bible conceives it to be. You
cannot ' compromise, them in
statecraft any more than in the
social relationship between men
" and women. .;.
Hitler whotborrowedmost of
.his fascism" from communistic'
'theories also conceived marriage
: to be a relationship to be en
couraged primarily , in the hiter-
est of the state. ;
Christ i a n i t y conceives mar-
riage to be an individual com
- pact primarily for the good of "
; the- individuals involved in
!:. their human relation to'God. But -
even . from a non-religious
standpoint marriage is justified
by natural law. It has proved
over many- thousands of years
to furnish the best way to raise
children. Mere mating , hardly
offers the required permanent
and serious guidance, or en
courages parental responsibility.
The Marxian-Hitler and com
munist philosophies recognized
this also by trying to supplant
the lack of individual parental
discipline with discipline by the
state. 1 ,. .
Mr. Shaw obviously is stni a
dramatist and has taken his
customary long stretched license
with realism.

SAFETY IN DRIVING

class of drivers, those Over age,
meaning over 65, left behind the
driver's wheel and cjften are
hazards on highways, in extend
ing driver's licenses. "
: It jwould not say that neither
is it (a fact whether a driver, is
16 or over 6S years of age,
doesh't iin the least prove his'
driving ability. It is all summed
down to whether he obeys traf-'
fic rules, speed limits; is careless
of his own life, thereby threaten-,
ing jothers; can gauge distance;
dimf his lights in time; shows
highway courtesy and is a care-
ful river; keeps his car in good
operating condition; does not mix
alcoholic drinks with driving.
There is no measure of age
governing this. If the individual
is noV sick, and at any age one
can m sick, an insurance com
pany, lias these standards. How
ever that does not save lives nor
property. Let's not discriminate
