Those who so eagerly flaunted their "disillusionment" called it the capitalist war just as some people today make, economics the basis of World War II. But the immediate cause i of the 1914-18 conflict was Austria-Hungary's attempted " suppression of a - nationalist movement. in Serbia. .Such factors as French-British-German riv airy, newly-un-j ited Germany's fear of Russia and aspirations f for world power, and political unrest all 'over! Europe were what made a local quarrel a world; war. For Russia supported Serbia, France was; allied with Russia, England was lied to France; and Belgium, Japan was allied to Britain and! the United States was sympathetic to the allied , cause, uermany, ox course, supported Ausina .Hungrary and took the main chance. World War II was a resumption of the battles s which had ended 20 years before. It started: when Germany tried to undo the Versailles treaty by grabbing the countries the Armistice! had created. And the rest of the world was inevitably dragged into this fight for independ-i ence. Hitler had promised in. his "Mein Kampf" : that uermany would go to war when its might, was sufficient, but throughout the 30'i when Germany was rearming public opinion in Bri : tain and the United States refused to believe1 jhe war was imminent. . We knew what Was going on in German.: We were upset when Austria was annexed,! when Czechoslovakia fell. But we felt with; .Chamberlain that peace was possible when mem of good will wanted it.

Two Mikes j events wnicn Statesman disclosed that Multnomah democrat leaders were pulling the rug out from under Sheriff Mike Elliott by calling for cancellation of his bond. Arid Mike DeCicco was reported as facing arrest on a warrant accusing him of har boring a fugitive from Justice, j The day's deve lopments however saw the complaint against DeCicco quashed when the officers apprehended the fugitive. But Sheriff Mike will soon be on the street if the bonding company follows tho behest of Elliott's political party and he is unable to qualify with' another bond. ., Altogether Thursday and Friday, were ex citing days in Multnomah politics. As for DeCicco his involvement has nothing to do with politics, but his political prominence brings that to the fore. The bond-cancelling was recommended by a group of democratic leaders, and it was State Treasurer Pearson who had to reverse his direc tion and wire the bonding company to with draw its bond. According to reports the com pany had had its obligation pretty well! under written by local citizens. Including DeCicco? It is also reported that some on the list were get ting a bit nervous or that others were getting Nervous over the prospect of publicity ;forLthe list. Any way the party caucus decided Sheriff Mike ; was too hot to 'hold so they dropped him with the comment that he was a renegade republican anyway, - The way mayoon be clear for the county commissioners! to pick a worthy democrat and there are such to succeed the impossible Mikf Elliott. , v Savryer Studies Conditions Secretary Sawyer of the department of com merce has been making trips about the coun try to inspt the economy. He was up in New ErJgtand and has visited .other sections. His next long trip is to the Pacific coast. He will be in Portland September 20th. . He will talk with industrialists, laW' leaders, bankers and others able to report on the local' economic 'situation. Then he makes up his own report for transmittal to the White House. One thing he has found out wherever he has gone is that business desires a measure of tax relief through cuts In federal expenditures. He also lias reported that public sentiment so far Isn't clamoring forvrnore pump-priming in the way of speeding up public construction. ; Sawyer of course belongs to the old school of hardheaded businessmen, hot to the Lord Keyftes school of spend and spend even If you do not have the money. In a number of ways Julius Meier was one of tile best governors the state has had. After the first year he spent very little time in his office in Salem, but he put in none at all mak ing Speeches and crowning queens. of an effective union between Great Britain; and the continent, i siniply "because the real inter ests of the two, and especially of England and Germany, are mutually contradictory. The sec--ond conclusion Is that Britain's real interests lie in. close; col laboration with the western hemisphere,. since It Is only this which makes it possible for Brit- aln to remauv a great World ' power. Moreover, it Is in the real interest of the United States that British world power, andr thus the close Anglo-American! strategic partnership, be main tained. A close-knit Anglo-American-Canadian grouping is the logical outcome of these mu tual interests. if 1 i- .

On the British side,-Sir Staf ford Cripps is reported still firmly opposed to devaluation of the pound.

This committee would be In-' S true ted to consider : carefully some form of limited Anglo American - Canadian economic union, as well as a similar con tinental union, and to come up with a set of practical but bold recommendations. . . This step would be useful, but the second step, which Is receiving more tentative con sideration, would be even' more interesting, j This would be to establish combined Anglo-American political and ' economic staffs' to parallel the existing strategic partnership In the com-' blned chiefs of staff, as pro- posed long ago in reports from London in this space. ' The fact that the strategic partnership has long existed, while there has been no such Intimate collaboration In the po litical and economic fields, has been a dangerous inner contra diction in the whole Anglo American relationship. .The dan ger is now perfectly apparent. because the looming British bankruptcy threatens to break up the strategic partnership, with terrible consequences. It Is at least encouraging that the American policy-makers are now facing up to this danger, and ' considering really - bold measures to deal with it But it would be a great : deal more encouraging . if these far-reaching measures were not being con sidered without the slightest consultation with any . of the congressional leaders of con gress, republican or democratic liar if anything really decisive Is to be done, it will depend on congress ; In i the end.

In this condition the feet turn outward and the arch Is flattened. A child whose feet are in this condition tends to bear most of bis weight on the inner edge of the feet rather than on the outer side where the Weight is normally carried. ! Parents need not be concerned if the child's shoes show 'that mora wear occurs on the outer hair of the heel and sole than on the inner part, according to studies at the Children's Memor ial hospital in Chicago. If the pronated feet are not causing symptoms and the foot is completely movable, but the wear occurs mostly on the inner half' of . the heel and sole, the condition is treated by wearing shoes which have a rigid shank. . The Inner borders of the shoe are raised, thus forcing the weight on the outer edge of the foot. This type of treatment is usually all that is necessary. ' . i As a general rule,, the putting of felt pads or steel plates into, the shoes to raise the arch is of mla value in cases of this type. Furthermore if such pads are used, it may be necessary for the child to wear a shoe larger than is needed for good' flttinx. Exercises are often suggested to f strengthen and develop the foot muscles, but they are sel dom practical because, to ac complish a satisfactory result, many hours a day must be de voted to exercises. Very few,' children will spend the majority bf their playtime exercising Jhle feet, and it is useless to expect . them to do so. Sometimes pronated feet may be painful to such a degree that ann operation is needed to re-, lieve the difficulty. The opera tion to be employed : depends upon the extent of the disorder. Usually, some type of procedure is used which fastens the bones ' of the feet Then, casts are ap plied which are removed after a period : of from six to eight weeks. The operation serves to restore the normal position of the arches of the feet. GRIN AND BEAK "Tee, gei aresoad Ow beildhig. Cnts . . .

Guidep nit (Continoed from page other big departments the reve nues are in effect trust funds: receipts of the highway com- ' mission are dedicated to high ways and state parks; of the in dustrial accident commission to paying claims for mjuries to in sured workmen; of the unem- . pleyment cwnpentatiion commis sion to paying compensaUon to the unemployed; of the retire ment system for Investment to ineetannuities of retired public employes. ' t j .. It is almost -a impossible to frame a rigid budget for these agencies because their revenues vary, their loads vary and their expenses vary with their work loads. This could be done for the professional j examining ; boards whose work is fairly con stant, but not for ithe big de partments where the real money is., The departments do pre pare estimates which are printed in the state budget, but can be regarded only as estimates. The expenditures of these de partments are under the constant scrutiny of the budget office. Their quarterly budgets must be submitted, and approved before money can be spent; The 1949 legislature however moved to bring the spending of these self-supporting depart ments under certain controls by the state emergency board. First, Chapter SIS, Laws of 1949 limits the spending to the biennial esti mate as approved by the joint ways and means committee (not by the legislature las a whole). Second, Chapter 558, Laws of 1949 requires that; the depart ment obtain the permission of the state emergency '! board if it wishes to spend out of its reve nues sums in excess of the ap proved budget. ! In my opinion this scurtiny by a board composed Only of legis lators is unconsUtutional and it is unnecessary because that duty now resides in the state budget office, and in operation ' will prove Impractical. ( Let me give some examples: I the highway commission receives substantial sums from the federal I m i . I government for spending on roads. Its estimate! on this must be merely enlightened7 guessing. Likewise its estimate on receipts from motor vehicle owners can only be approximate. The de partment needs7 all the funds it can get its hands on to meet pu blic demand for highway con struction. If its receipts exceed its estimates' they j still . can be used for no other purposes. What can the emergency board do then but7 give a perfunctory OK to spending In excess of original estimates? i Then there fa the rame com- mission. It prepared -its est! mate on the basis of license fees as they were in 1941 An interim commission found the depart ment was in such need of funds that the legislature increased lic ense fees and relieved it of tith ing. Is not the game commission the proper authority to deter mine bow the additional revenue should be spent? If the emer gency board revises or rejects its budget it is substituting its Judg ment for that of the game com mission. No money would be "saved" to the state seneral fund for it is all tagged l for game de partment expenditure. For a third example -consider 'the unemployment; compensation commission. Its estimates for operating expenses and for claims were made ' in 1948 when employment was at peak levels. It made what it felt was an ade quate projection of heeds for this biennium but before the blen nium started the recession struck and its case load and claims mounted sharply. It figured on 150.000 continued claims for the first quarter of this fiscal year ana nas had that) many for the first two months: and for 23.000 hew claims for the quarter and has had 32,000 'in the first two months. For the1 biennium it estimated it would need S22. 600JD00 to meet lunemoloyment claims. It should be' remember ed that after the budget was pre pared the legislature raised the grants by an estimated 12 and one-half per cent; It looks now as though the commission would have to pay out in claims nearly all of its budxet 'estimate in the firs year. . . Now what can the emergency board do but promptly give its OK when me commission asks for permission tOi overspend its budget? If the board refuses, then the state will be declared "out of conformity" and em ployers would bet taxed an ad ditional 2.7 per cent on payrolls to go to the federal government. . In short, by virtue of the pecur llr characteristics of their oper - aUons the self-supporting de partmentsare not; as far as their major expenditures go, adapted to the superrlsioa of a legislative body meeting only Intermittent ly.
