PROMISE OF THE MILLENIUM
Just why the word "millenium" should
have come to signify Utopian bliss is rather
a mystery considering the word really means
only a span of a thousand years. However,
we sight "a millenium," not in the blusterings
of world politicians but in the utterances of
Dr. Arthur Merritt, president of the Amen
can Dental Association who says that it may
be possible to prevent tooth decay and end
all the horrors of toothache.
At convention in Baltimore he points to
$70,000 a year which his association is spend
ing on research, to an additional $600,000 a
year which he hopes the federal government
will-put up. Dentists have discovered that
a tiny amount of "fluorine" in water seems
to check the dread germs of decay (though it
darkens the teeth).
Just what this would mean in the world
of toothpaste and broadcasts is difficult to
predict. Just what it would mean to the dental
profession is not clear, but it is encouraging
to note that the dentists are willing to take
chances by pushing preventive research. A
world without bad teeth would certainly be a
healthier and happier world and who knows
but what better health might produce better
politix.
Comes to mind the story of an old Con
federate who did heroic things at Chica
maugua. "Hell," says he, "that wasn't heroism.
Night before that battle I had an ulcerated
tooth and I had my choice between old Doc
Pemberton and the damn Yanks. Seemed
to me, sir, I'd be safer with the Yanks, and
that's the way it worked out."
"AGIN BOW AN' ARROW TOLITIX"
Oregon's governor, Charlie Sprague, asks
the populace of this commonwealth to co
operate with the federal census takers des
pite all intimate questions concerning income,
delfts, relatives, family troubles and the like.
He says sniping at the federal census is a
species of "bow and arrow" politix and to a
degree he is right. This paper has stated sev
eral times that in spite of all irritations every
citizen should do his best to cooperate.
Nevertheless, as we have also pointed out
repeatedly, there is an obligation on the cen
sus takers to cooperate. In its passion for
intimate facts, the Census Bureau at Wash
ington has demanded a great deal of infor
mation which the average citizen, especially
the average business man, cannot supply ac
curately on a moment's notice. It has made
the serious blunder of displaying the club of
authority and the threat of arrest when it
would have been wiser to display patience
and common sense.
For instance, one Eugene business man
is asked to state promptly and accurately just
what proportion of his transactions was spot
cash and what ordinary or deferred credits,
lie could estimate with fair approximation;
to get an accurate figure would require a cost
ly combing of his books. What's to be done
but use common sense.
The census takers arc harvesting a largo
crop of grudges sown by the preceding gov
ernmental inquisitors and bureaucrats. There
should be no "bow and arrow" sniping, but it
is not amiss to remind the enumerators that
we don't work for them; they work for us, or
better still that we might work together and
avoid a lot of fuss.
WASHINGTON LETTER
By JOHN W. KELLY
(Register-Guard Washington Reporter)
WASHINGTON, D. C, March 21. Agriculture
In the states of Oregon and Washington is in the role
of the innicent bystander who is hurt. There is
neither "cash" nor "carry" for the producers and
processors as a result of the war in Europe. Of
course, agriculture elsewhere has been hit, but in a
special manner it has touched the Pacific Northwest.
The allies want nothing in the food line from
the United States and are operating a blockade to
prevent foodstuffs going to other nations some of
the latter being neutrals. First to feel the pinch of
war were the growers of apples and winter pears
in the two states, and their very best foreign market
was cut off. This business brought a few million
dollars into Oregon and Washington, all of which
went into circulation. When the federal government
lit length realized what the war was doing to fresh
aiiolcs and fresh winter pears Ihe Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation began purchasing 'some
of. (ho fruit which neither Great Britain nor France
would buy.
Next to be hit" in the pockctbook arc the can
neries, for the allies are not permitting the canned
goods of the northwest to be imported. This, of
course, reaches back to the farmers, the fishermen
FSCC will probably have to buy'up trainloads of
these goods and give them away under -the food
stamp program.
m
Tim allies are nblaining their supplies from the
dominions Canada, New Zealand. Australia. South
Africa, etc., ralher lhan from Ihe United Slates. It
is not generally known, however, that while reject
ing American commodities the allies arc making
heavy purchases from countries which have been
selling to Germany; that is to win friends (Uncle
Sam is a friend already) and is part of Britain's eco-
monic warfare.
War has knocked Pacific Northwest shipping al
most to the vanishing point. European trade is gone,
or what little there remains is carried in foreign
flag vessels. Between the administration s dislike
of Soviet Russia and the British blockade, exports
to Vladivostok are curbed.
England owes the United Stales $4,368,800,000
on the principal of its war debt interest is about
$1,130,000,000. Unpaid principal of France is $3,
863.650,000 with accrued interest of $320,000,000.
England and France said they were too poor to pay
these debts. What they did was invest in American
securities and these securities are now being re
turned to the United States to pay for airplanes,
guns and ammunition.
e
The purchasing agents of the allies are choosey.
They are insisting on obtaining the very best air
craft this country has produced, types so new that
the army lias not had more than one or two samples.
Planes the allies crave are those babies which hurtle
through Ihe air at 400 mph. They have given as-
ounrling performances in the air over the national
capital. Whispering confidentially army and navy
officers say they do not like the idea of disposing of
these aerial skyrockets to the foreigners. Cloak-
oom gossip explains that pressure from a very high
source is forcing army and navy to make statements
that selling the newest types does not retard the
national defense; that even better planes will be
nvented. Congress intends looking into this busi
ness.
'''
From the Pacific Northwest comes the suggestion
that with the allies placing a ban on agricultural
products from that and other regions; with the Brit
ish blockading trade routes, searching American
ossels, seizing mail, it might bo a good idea if con
gress objected to the sale of the newest planes and
threatened an embargo on munitions generally.
Business from the sale of aircraft and a few muni-
ions is creating no general benefits and certainly
none arc flowing from this source to the farmers.
The war, if anything, is increasing the farm
problem.
Governor Horner, of Illinois, is on the verge of
a scandal. The governar is the man who had Sccre-
ary of Interior Ickes appoint Paul J. Raver us ad
ministrator for Bonneville. F. Lyndon Smith was
found dead in a bathtub. It isn't known whether
death was natural, a suicide or he was bumped off
un old Chicago custom. Mr. Smith was collector
of the 2 per cent club of the Horner political ma
chine; 2 per cent of compensation of jobholders; 10
cents a ton from coal men, etc.
To date the federal government has not looked
into the Illinois 2 per cent club, but much will be
heard about it during the coming campaign. Why
the government is ignoring the Illinois outfit, but
has been digging into the Indiana 2 per cent club
to try to get something on Paul V. McNutt, is. one
of those peculiar things that occur in Washington;
like Harry Hopkins whitewashing use of WPA to
elect "Dear Albin" Barklcy in Kentucky, but crack
ing down on the rD-ycar-old sister of Senator
Chavez, or New Mexico, for having a political
meeting of WPA workers in her homo; or Mr. Roose
velt announcing that people must answer the cen
sus questions, as to their mortgages, yet refusing
to answer questions of newsmen whether he lias a
mortgage on the White House.
