"RAUCOUS BUFUS" OUT Of TURN One of the most interesting characteris tics of Rufus Holman, the nat6felect from Oregon has been a certain lack of tact, and this is illustrated in his recent statement re buking the political writer of The Oregon Un for publishing before the election the betting odds which favored Mahoney over Holman. Mr. Holman who has never been on good terms with The Oregonian seems td think this was done with malice or with in tent to impair the Holman cause. It is true The Oregonian was not overly cordial to Mr. Holman and may not have given him the support he deserved, but Mr. Holman is not helping himself by dragging up old grievances and in this case he Is talk ing out of turn. Nearly every political re porter in the state printed the betting odds as news. This was merely a matter of news routine and Mr. Holman is a bit absurd in trying to make it an Issue. As lo the "morality" of publishing bet ting odds before an election there may be some ground for discussion. About the only thing that can be said in defense of the practice is that it is an old custom. The professional gamblers are supposed to have the most authentic of "straws." They aren't always right, as is proved by the Holman victory, despite the gamblers' odds, but usu ally they are better Informed than most people as to the actual trends. But, In our opinion, the influence of bet ting odds on voting Is negligible. There may be some few voters who like to drift with what seems to be the tide, but not many. The Influence of betting odds on election results has been greaty over-emphasized. Sometimes foolish campaign managers try to get together funds in the last days of a campaign to Influence the betting odds. They usually lose. Campaigns are not won In the betting arena but in the precincts. The number of people who actually gamble on elections is very small compared with- the number who gamble on other sporting events. The average citizen makes up his own mind about the candidates and issues. He may be Interested to know what thq gamblers think of the trends but he keeps his money in his pocket and says: "Un-huh!" NO PROBLEM FOR AMERICA A speculative gentleman inclined to ven ture his money on international politics might very well lay a little something on the line right now to say that Germany will presently be in possession again of her old pre-war colonies. The heat is on; Germany has- notified England and France that she would like to discuss the colonial problem at their conven ience, and Hitler has come to bat with one of those "or else" speeches calling for return of the missing property. Since Hitler seems to be getting Just about what he asks for In Europe these days, it would hardly be sur prising to see him win out on this point, too. But before he does, the unconcerned American might take the trouble to get himself straight on the background. The whole business of overseas colonies has al ways been pretty ugly. Offhand, it is hard to think of any nation that ever acquired any colonies other than by force. And so any discussion of the German colonial ques tion will be realistic only if it leaves out all considerations of "right" and "wrong." Consequently, Hitler's recent speech at Munich in which he spoke of "the colonies to which we have a right" can be taken as something for home consumption only. For when you try to figure out whether Ger many "has a right" to those colonies, you quickly discover that you simply can't dis cuss colonies in those terms. Look at the simple history of it. Ger many got her pre-war colonies by force, just as England got South Africa, France got the Sahara and America got the Phil ippines. She held them until the World War occurred a war which, even when all the 1917 propaganda is discarded, was at least partly brought on by Germany her self. As result of the war, she lost them. The fact that the allied nations professed the noblest of ideals while they were scrambling to take Germany's overseas pos sessions away from her may inspire one with cynicism about the statesman's pro fession, but It still docs not affect the funda mental fact: that property which Is acquired at the point of a gun and lost n the same way does not trail any particular odor of sanctity. It is rather important that all of this be kept In mind. It may at least save us from regarding this colonial problem as a moral Issue, There are enough moral issues in volved in the international situation. Heaven knows, without adding any new ones. And when we da look at the problem realistically, we shall probably find added reason to feel that our isolationist policy is a wise one. We have not the slightest inter est in whether Germany does or does not regain the overseas possessions she once held. If the question of their return is going to disturb the international political arena, we certainly are well-advised to stay at home and tend strictly to our own knitting. WASHINGTON LETTER By RODNEY fjUTCHER fleigster-Quard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, N6v. 2i.---Sure if the Par ley and the Corcorans that now are debating what the election result mean and who should b th beys consequently in favOr at the big Whit Home. The farleys are the group around the postmaster-general himself, with lines mtd the p6 litlcsl organization of the Democratic party. The Cofoorsns are members and associates of tha 100 per cnt New Deal group that includes Harry HohKM, Secretary JcKes, Solicitor General Jackson, 8EC Chairman Douglas, Ben Cohen, Leon Henderson and others. They're the Corcor an because Tommy Corcoran is the President's chief liaison man. Th Farleya want the Corcorans kept out of White House political and legislative delibrations. Th Corcoran! want F. D. R. to cut loose from the Farley. Hence a battle of recriminations as Id which group bungled the Democratic cam paign, which group was repudiated by the voters and which group should n6w b tossed 6verboard by th Head Man. In tHIs the Parleys are supported by the Gar ners and other Democratic tribes whose dislike for the Corcoran is no less and whose liking for Roosevelt la not Intense. More on the side of the Corcorans are such men as Senator Norris, Sen ator LaFollette, Mayor LaGuardia, defeated Gov ernor Murphy of Michigan and other progressives and independents. Pre and Con, Take Your Choice Say the Parleys: The Republican sweep was a repudiation of the New Deal radicals and of their attempted "purge," It showed the President had been too cocky, too rough and too unwilling to compromise with conservatives who advised him to go flow. New Daal candidates have been licked and New Deal counsellors should be rele gated to obscurity. The New Dealers said so many bad thints about other Democratic candi dates that people began to believe all Democratic candidate were sour. It' Parley who has the real Democratic machine and the President can't function Without, him. Now ia tha time - for Roosevelt to pull in hi horn and take counsel from conservative whose advice he spurned, In order that Democrats may appear as a harmoni ous band of brothers against the Republicans in 1040. Parley ha shown hi superior political generalship by saving the party the governorship of Nw York. To the wolves with Hopkins tnd Corcoran!- But the Corcorans. long before this, have cried "Nuts!" They say: Farley's Democratic ma chinery Just doesnt function up north and the party suffered the heaviest part of its defeat on "good government" issues.- Voters rebelled against malodorous machines with which Farley first allied himself In 1936 In alliances which have been frozen ever since. Harmful WPA scandal ware created not by Hopkins, but by Democratic machines allied with Farley and Democratic senators who voted themselves WPA patronnge. The President's speech barely bailed Farley and Lehman out in New York, after Far ley for months had assured Roosevelt Tom Dew ey wouldn't run for governor and wa reduced at the last moment to begging Lehman, no New Dealer, to oppose him. It's Hp to F. D. It, What voters think of th New Deal was indi cated, the Corcorans say, by the victory of Senator Wagner, running en a New Deal plat form. Farley's insistence on a Democratic ticket in Wisconsin caused both Democrats and Pro gressives to lose. Voter desire for "good govern ment," as opposed to machines allied with Far ley, lost the party Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Ohio and perhaps Iowa. The administration farm program for which th Corcorans take no responsibility and the Towniend plan caused most other Demo cratic defeats. Both these arguments have their thin spots. Roosevelt Is certain to heed some of the elec tion's "Oo Slow" sign. Whether he will "go slow" with th Corcorans or slower with the Farleys is a quesUon which bother both the Farleys and the Corcorans. (Copyright, 1938, NEA Service, Inc.) AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH By DR. MORRIS P1SHBF.1N Editor, Journal of th American Medical Associa tion, and of Hygela, th Health Magazine Repeatedly It ha been stated that chilling of the human body Is bad for health. Apparently the human being la comfortable with a constant average temperature of 99 degrees F. Any deviation from this temperature for a long period of time will bring about serious changes in the body. Some Tlorida investigators, Including Dr. H. M. Taylor, have made some tudies to determine exactly tha effects of long continued swimming In cold water on the occurrence of infections in the ears and In the sinuses. An attempt was made to determine the effects of chilling on J0 children under 13 years of age whose tempera tures were taken before and after period of 4S minutes devoted to iwlmming in an indoor pool with the temperature of the water at 73 degrees F. Only 30 of these children were able to maintain a normal temperature. All of th others developed a decrease In the body temper Mure. In some the temperature dropped to at low as 9!t degree F. Experimental studies were made to determine the effects of such chilling on the blood and the ability of the person under such circurrutances to resist Infection. Muscular activity carried on dur ing the chilling procesa helps to prevent Infection. When, however, the body is chilled without ex ercise, there la a tendency for the number of white blood cells to be steadily diminished. The white blood calls are important in rela tionship to the prevention of infection. Eight life guards at Jacksonville Beach. Fla , swam for 45 minutes In ocean water at a temperature of 81 J degrees F. All of these swimmers became slight ly purple in color and their fingernails and hps were blue after this period of swimming. There was an average reduction in temperature of 4 degrees F. The red blood cell count Increased In all of these swimmers and the white blood rell count was alo increased. There was no loss of weight. According to this evidence agia, violent exarcue during swimming and chlllm of the body will prevent the drop In the white blood cell count. In general it Is believed that chilling of the body is much more serious for those with chronic infections of the nose and throat than for a per son who is an an axcellent sta;e of health, but this will apply to all conditions affecting the hu man body adversely.
