Of the decision to allocate a good-sized por tion of the synthetic rubber program to plants using the process based on wood or grain alcohol, the most appropriate comment is that it should help to settle a lot of arga ments which were getting us nowhere. Whether the "Detroleum lobby" or the "farm bloc" wins out is not nearly so im portant as to get the rubber. Two weeks ago we printed in this column the vital (and we mean vital) statistics on rubber which show that if we don't achieve an 800,000-ton out put of synthetic by the end of 1944, we'll be out of luck even for the army and navy uses! The best discussion of the whole highly technical synthetic rubber problem which we have seen is in the June issue of Fortune (the R-G telephone operator will have our copy for anybody who wishes to read it at the reading table in our lobby). Fortune makes this very sensible state ment: "There is of course, one way to settle this argument, and it isn't by oratory or hag gling in Jesse Jones' office, but by throwing in impartial U.S. research team Into a pilot plant of sufficient size to yield the economic data." Any carbohydrate can be converted into rubber. The Russians have been using alco hols. The Germans are supposed to be using coal and petroleum. Most of the better known processes depend on producing "butadiene" from either petroleum or alcohol and this results in what is known as "Buna-S" rubber which combines quite handily with raw rub bers. However, Standard Oil has a new "Butyl" process devised by its own engineers which seems to promise much less use of steel for plants and the advantages of a "continuous process", where most of the others are intermittent. Then there's Du pont's "neoprene" (based on hydrochloric and acetylene) which has made some excel lent experimental records. . Fortune fixe a pretty good picture of how all the interests oil companies, old line rubber companies, alcohol companies, farm bloc have been messing around trying to get a cut of the big new pie (with pet colyumnists sounding off on one side or 't'other). The one fact that John Citizen ought to Veep in mind is: "We are starting from scratch and we NEED RUBBER!" Therefore the more types of production and experiment the better. Nobody in this country knows much about any of the types of synthetic. All kinds of transportation and by-product complications are involved. After you get the synthetic rubber, whether from petroleum or alcohol, there's a tremendous research problem to bring it up to the stand ards of wear and tear we are used to with natural rubber after 40 years of intensive Improvements. We know that "butyl" and "neoprene" are somewhat superior to natural rubber in re sistance to oil, air or chemicals, but we know that all synthetics developed so far tend to overheat, break down and go to pieces much soonex than "our rubber". If we could maroon a lot of congressmen, colyumnists and kibitzers and let the pro duction men go to it, we'd get rubber. CONANT DEPLORES ITOHAN DREAM One of the clearest thinkers in the United States is James B. Conant who started out as a chemist during the last war and ended tp as president of Harvard. Conant sees a danger in the premature planning of "the world after the war." In his baccalaureate address to alumni and graduates of Harvard he offered this warning: "We art fighting to defend human liberty and render secure the American way cf life. We desire lo prevent the recurrence of a devastating world-wide struggle every genera tion. We want and expect to have the United Stata a hetter place to live in when the war Is over. Limited objectives we must set. But let us proceed cautiously In painting too rosy picture of the world or even the United States after the wsr Is over. To my mind, the Utopians who foresee the future In terms of a world made perfect by technology and the applied social sciences, or those who believe in a complete spiritual regeneration of a majority of men are equally misuWen. The facts of history and of human nature to me speak of a universe constructed on totally different principles." Conant has been spending a good deal of time In Washington and he no doubt has experienced the hazy un-realism there. The danger of such meandering is that it takes cur minds off the very real and very diffi cult problem of winning the war. When we have said that ve are fighting the Axis to save democracy we have said about all we can say now. Even if we break the Axis next year (which is highly im SWtafeS U Vi Ll U- Caucasus, Sue or tht approaches to Alaska) we face a world full of broken bodies, broken minds and torment ed by all the horrors of starvation and disease. If the history of our times teaches any thing it is that you can't wish democratic ways upon people who don't know what you mean; there is no single, simple formula such as the organization of a League; there is no peace in a jungle of human emotions and an.bitions, except such as can come by the slow process of standing guard till a normal process of human growth can be restored. Speaking bluntly the peace process must be one tempered with reason but enforced with a club. It won't be had by any such process as Vice President Wallace has pro posed, of spreading American largesse over the devastated world. It will be had only by helping those who help themselves, those willing and able to work and take their place in a self-respecting world. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK DON'T WEAKEN HATCH ACT (Corvallis Gaiette-Times) Senator Holman has a bill on the face of which seems designed to prevent teachers from participat ing in politics. All the bill does is to strengthen the Hatch Act by making it more certain that heads of schools receiving public funds shall not use their "official position" to influence their subordinates in the way they should vote. We have an idea that Senator Holman introduced the bill as a counter- irritant to Senate bill 2471 introduced by Senator Brown at the request of Dr. Donald DuShane. past president of the National Education Association. The Brown bill lets down the bars completely and in his testimony before the Senate Committee, he made the extravagant statement that "the very existence of schools depends upon the political activity of members of the teaching profession." We can't imagine anything that could be worse "per nicious political activity" than for superintendents, principals, professors and other school administra tors to use their "official authority" to coerce their subordinates in a national or state election, to con trol money, or votes, or otherwise "affect the nom ination or election." for public office, "to discuss political issues in their classrooms, to affect votes or affect the nomination for any office." That is what the Brown bill would do and the bill that Is advocated by the NEA and the bill which Mr. Hol man'i bill is designed to obviate. If the NEA bill becomes a law, It would be to the serious detriment of the public. WASHINGTON LETTER By JOHN W. KELLY WASHINGTON, D. C. July 13. In Jimmy Doo llttle's band of 70-odd heroes who blasted Tokyo were three fliers from the University of Oregon who were graduates of the civil aeronautics ad ministration program for training civilian fliers. There may have been others with similar training probably were, for every college and university In the Pacific northwest has been turning out fliers. About 28,000 have gone Into uniform and they rep resent the major part of combat pilota. Now, how ever, the war department not the navy) has chang ed its policy; declares It wants no part o the CAA outfit This is something for the young men and women taking the courses In the northwest schools to think over and figure where the policy leads. Less than four months ago the war department Issued a press release saying the full facilities of CAA would be used and first priority given to stu dents meeting requirements of an aviator cadet Less than 90 days ago the war department, In an other release, outlined a plan to train 45,000 fliers for the army 20,000 for combat service and 25.000 for auxiliary service. In May the department cut the schedule down to 13,350 for CAA and an nounced it would Itself do all the training of com bat pilots and after July 1 no CAA graduates would be eligible for combat service. Although CAA grads were good enough for bombing Japan and for fighting in the battle of Wake and the Coral sea (others are now in Alaska) the door to combat pilots Is now closed against any CAA trainee from any school, university or col lege. Navy department, however, endorses CAA and says It receives better pilots and more quickly than from those otherwise selected. About 13 out of 100 entranta are rejected from other sources and less than fraction of one percent from the CAA grads. Navy has "put in" for 20.000 fliers, with 18. 350 for combat to be trained by CAA. Colleges, universities and commercial flying fields are utilised by CAA, but with the war de partment adopting a new policy July 1 a large part of available facilities have become dormant, situation which has called for sharp comment on the floor of congress. Production of planes is run ning ahead of fliers. Instead of using the univer sities which have all necessary equipment, war de partment prefers building its own schools, cosung around $3,000,000 each. These army air schools re. quire time to construct and use vital materials (lumber, concrete, steel, etc.), and while they are being built entrants the army Intends training are loafing, waiting for a chance to take up their studies. Army explanstion Is that the CAA students fuss around with low power planes, and army starts training with swift, heavy hps and teaches its men as much In six weeks as CAA does in 18 weeks. Army insures each student while learning to fly. Army wants Its fliers to be soldiers, not )ut pilots, for it wants them trained In military formation and ceremonies None of the 13.350 to be turned out by CAA for the army will ever be In combat, but will i ujra i(,r ine lerrying command, instructors, members of the glider corps or co-pilotj in com mercial air service (now under control of the war department). There is this chance of the wsr de partment changing Its mind again and accepting CAA grads for combat service- The demand for pi lots will be so pressing in 1043 tbst the department may not he so finicky. Congress has appropriated sufficient funds to bury about 1730 Japanese aliens who have been moved from Iht cnasi inland to new centers in the semi-arid lands of the far west It is estimated that 120 of these alien enemies will die each month, this being an average whether the aliens are in Idaho Orecon.
