Hitler No Rug-Chewer ! The revelations of the activities of AdoM Hitler as made by Gerhard Herrgesell, one of his secretaries, are proving valuable in giving what seems to be a fairly accurate picture of Hitler himself in the war years. He does not appear to have been the rug-chewing maniac he has often been pictured as being. It is true More Pounds of Meat - Washington agencies hav finally done some thing which may result in liore rrieat. An addi tional premium is offered jjto cattle feeders to induce them to feed range cattle and young stuff so the critter will jfcarry taore pounds when he goes down the chute at the packing Dlant. Then the too of 30d lbs. for swine for that the secretary says that he was exceedingly price support is removed. This wjill encourage . gleeful when news came of Roosevelt's death, hog-raisers to feed their swine to larger size. , But the deaths of Mussolini and Hitler made welcome news to their enemies. If Hitler was a bit more demoniacal in his expressions of glee it was because he was in more desperate plight and had hopes that this event would give an escape moh him and for Germany. In one other respect j HerrgeseU's . comment may reflect on Hitler's mental capacity. He says that Hitler had a great I memory for details, but often failed to coordinate them. That is not an uncommon trait among people and does not in itself reflect mental abnormality, though These are very practical fimethods of getting more meat in markets and more on dining tables. There is an abundance of grain feed; in fact the orders should have come earlier be cause of the abundance ojf animal feed. WFA or OPA apparently has - rjever taken a practical view of the beef situation. They failed to provide satisfactory differentials between feeders and fmishedfeeefcattlej As long as it was unprofitable ip feed tattle Off the range feeders held off so the cofntry had not only less meat but less meat of; the better, quality; his secretary says it does account for some of The hew .differential is ajbelated recognition 'jfrgff f J1 his failures as a leader. On the other hand Herrgesell testifies that Hitler held the reins of control firmly in his own hands up to April 22 when he concluded that all was lost and decided to meet death in Berlin. This would dispose of the series of tales of Hitler's being deposed while Himmler ran things, or of his withdrawing from control to let the generals of the Wehrmacht take charge. Hitler was boss from the beginning. He told his generals that he brought on the war. He must hve had capacity or his organization would have collapsed long before it did. Von Rundstedt was by no means critical of Hitler's ability in the field of strategy. j The picture we are getting through this sec retary is one-sided, of course, but it appears to . have plausibility, and if porrect certainly forces a revision of our estimate of der Fuhrer as a madman. His writings and speeches reveal a literary incoherence but he had mental con centration enough to lead a nation of 70,000, 000 astray and to enslave most of Europe. of the important role the Seattle feeder plays In maf nAi)ntfAn T4- vers 1 1f ! 4-k fr a Axf VVttnf'lia ' to notice effect of these two orders, but after gCt lor lodajr that the meat situation should be visibly im proved. U IB : , , . r. ' ; ' The Oregon Farmers Union contains an ar ticle from James G. Patton, FU president, who is one of the consultants at the San Francisco conference. Patton says "We must learn to work with Russia." That is correct. Russia is one of the great powers Of the world whose bulk lies across Europe and Asia and across the air routes of the northern hemisphere. We must learn to work with Russia. And the rule works the other way round. Russia must learn to work with the United States. There is ' wide room for instruction in this art In both these countries. h I W&jb&SCS? :? A Behxryed by Hi. - ' 4 . , 4 Own Big Mouth ,f The Statesman has at hand a picture showing Congressman Harris Ellsworth of Roseburg re clining in "a new type chaise lounge developed for postwar train travel by the Pullman-Standard Car Manufacturing company." The caption said the lounge was being previewed by govern ment officials in Washington, and that cars fit ted with them would be placed in service within five months after the government lifts restric tions on peacetime construction. We wouldn't mind printing your picture, Harris, but the lounge will have to wait. Right now the demand is for pictures of everyone having a seat in cars-as-they-are; of people having stoves, refriger ators, automatic appliances, washing machines, girdles, tricycles, mouth organs and diaper dolls. OK, Harris? I The supreme court's ruling thatj a state may refuse to recognize a Nevada divolrce will start tremors in many a heart. (For remarriages on the assumption that a Nevada divorce decree was valid anywhere have been almost as num-l erous as the decrees. Nevada has made its courts into divorce mills, to the discredit not' only of the institution of iharriage but of our system of jurisprudence.

Then because he seemed like a man with sense and because he had an authoritative man ner jabout him the allied mili tary government made him a local; administrator in Brunswick. There were those who thought that ithere was something faintly familiar about that authorita tive lair of his, but these are busy times for the allied- mili tary! j government so they passed it by. As the days went by Dietrich Klagges gained new confidence and jShis manner seemed almost to have a touch of arrogance in it. But it was not until the new regufations for Brunswick's ci vilian population were announc ed that he became 'anything but service toward the American ar my.jk ' J "Unfair! unreasonable!" he fairly shouted in reial and angry arrogance.

Granted that., it has failed whether "miserably ' or not is a matter vOf literary taste. j ' Now the subcommittee i proposes that Congress create a "supreme administrator" of all food con trol agencies in the vernacular a food czar but not that it leave everything to him. The subconv mi ttee wants Congress to' instruct the czar about cxaring, thus: Pay a subsidy to livestock feeders, raise the support price of hogs, allow "a reasonable margin of profit" to meat processors, limit lend- ' lease shipments of meat products to -our surplus, order the czar to quit controlling foodstuffs as they come into surplus supply but to promise not to change livestock support or ceiling prices without "adequate notice." J One or two of the subcommittee's recommenda tions seem to this newspaper to be good. If food distribution and prices are -to be controlled one agency should do it Certainly controls should be removed from such commodities as actually come -Into surplus supply. But the report says nothing about the great help Congress could give OPA in .holding - consumer prices down by removing .the mechanisms of price support in 'wholesale food stuffs markets. These have been established by the farm bloc on the theory that they foster production.

What is the reasonable balance to strike among these three so that sufficient foreign trade may be carried on to give us the best rounded economy we can have? Clearly it is wrong to cling to 1898 ideas without adjustment to a 1945 world. Our policies as to foreign trade need fresh formula tion in terms of realities of today and probabilities of tomorrow. Our tariff policies will be af fected certainly by the type of economies set up by foreign na tions. If they go in for economic autarchy, with embargoes or strict quotas on imports, then our capacity to import . will be re duced. If the nations can work toward greater liberalization of trade we should be prepared to go along. . Foreign trade is not an insur ance of domestic prosperity; rather it accompanies domestic prosperity. Neither is importing the bogey which many fear, be cause when business is active we can absorb a larger volume of both domestic and of foreign goods. We hear a great deal ojf pro test against continuation of lend lease; and certainly it should stop with the end of the war. We Can sell goods abroad if we are will ing to buy goods in exchange; and there is a wide field of im ports needed to supply our-complex industries and to enrich our living. j The use of our newly-built merchant marine after it gets through beingpack-horse for the army depends first on what the volume of foreign commerce will be and second on how heavily this country wants to subsidize its merchant marine..' As to the first I think we should endeavor to stimulate foreign! trade, not in the sense of giving the USA away either by easy loans or by abol ishing tariffs, but by orderly ad justment in the broad national interest ought to maintain a substantial merchant marine both; as a stimulus to trade and as a safe guard against future wars. The Liberty ships are too slow for postwar competition unless they are converted. We will do well if we keep 25,000,000 tons afloat, which is about half of the ton nage we will have when the war ends but over twice; as much as we had when the War started. Our country should; confer with Britain, The Netherlands : and Norway before deciding as to the ;. size 'r of our postwar merchant J fleet because they are heavily de f pendent on snipping for support 'of their economy, j: 1 1 1 These problems go to thej heart of issues that will determinelthe economic health of the world. ;- which Is fundamental to political t health.
