Every candidate worthy of the name is supposed to have
a slogan. A slogan, in its original meaning, was a war cry.
Hearing it sounded by their leader, clansmen would rally to
his support, it enougn 01 inem ramea ne migm. win.
' Carried over into politics, slogans are still a means by
which voters are summoned to aid candidates who seek to
attain new heights through ballot box victories or who have
already reached the heights from which they are averse to
being dislodged. Catchily phrased, these slogans of today
nevertheless vary in potency. Recognized by the election laws
of this and other states, they become not only factors in the
campaign but constitute a last minute appeal on the ballot
itself the only argument which may legally be presented to
the voter on election day.
Rarely is a candidate without his slogan. It may be good,
bad or indifferent but he will have one unless he jconsiders
his position either invulnerable or hopeless. As a general
proposition better, or at least more convincing, slogans are
developed in connection with the quest for the higher offices.
It follows that the best, or the most convincing, are born in
the heat of presidential campaigns. , ,
A few of them come to mind. "Tippecanoe and Tyler, too"
probably had a great deal to do with electing General William
Henry Harrison and John Tyler, the Whig party's candidates
of 1839. The vigorously promised "full dinner pail" unques
tionably helped put William McKinley in the White House in
spite of the "sixteen to one" bid for increased silver coinage
by William Jennings Bryan. Woodrow Wilson, elqcted in
1913 while the Republicans quarreled, remained in four years
later With a slogan, "He kept us out of war," a catchy bit
that was shortly proved to be anything but prophetic
.'- More recently there have been the-"deals", in which can
didates resorted to the language of cards to reenforce their
appeals. Franklin D. Roosevelt called for a "now deal" and
then kept on dealing. Harry S. Truman, who filled in, called
for a "fair deal" when it came his time to run. Whether this
was intended to question the fairness of the previous deal
we have never known any more than we have been con
vinced that the man from Missouri was serious about it. We
doubt that he was. We know that the implied promise, how
ever sincerely or insincerely it was made, has not been kept.
.,. ,That brings us down to date. -It is obvious from tho fore
going that HST is going to need a new slogan, just as obvious
as it is that he will attempt to stay in the White House. The
old slogan no longer carries conviction nnd a slogan simply
must be believed. So wo should like to propose one.. It is not
fully original, but then, what is? Moreover, we are making
no charge for it. We are merely asking that it be used. Here it
is,' with apologies -to- Woodrow Wilson's phrase makers :
"He got ub into war!" - - -, i ', 1 v; ' ' '
' I :" THE DEBTS WE OWE . '
A news' story of Thursday carried, the information lhat
the per capita share of Oregon's debt is,$27.82. If authprized
debt not', yot Incurred wore to- beijibfritt'wictual, tho amount
woujci De sometning m excess ot $76, according to our figures.
That seems plenty but is puny in comparison to the national
debt, which would pro-rate at ?1, 677. ' '
Local city debt is approximately $61 per person,- The
school djstvj,ot has none. But in case we're inclined to fee)
superior over this unusual state of affairs a quick flashback
to the nation's borrowings will cause us to subside at once.
More than a quarter of a trillion dollars, it would take the
greater part of the national income, even as optimistically
guessed by President Truman to wash out the red entries.
' STEELHEAD STREAMS
After all that has been said in the Oregonian about the
Deschutes as a stcelhead stream we are glad to learn from
the paper that there are others. Here is the list as given in
an article last Sunday in the paper's magazine section :
Aside from Uie mighty Columbia and lis tributaries', Including
the .Snake, your best bets ure the coaslal streams from the Camp
bell in British Columbia to the Kel in California. Well known
streams are the Skagit, the Hoh. Cowlitz, Lewis, Knlama, Ne
halcm, Miami, Wilson, Trunk, Ncslucca, Sllclz, Alsea, Salmon,
Uogue, Siuslaw,' Umpciua, Smith mid many, many more
Practically all western streams that empty into tidewater north
of the Russian have stcelhead runs.
These are the winter steelhead streams, so the article has
it. The Deschutes, one, gathers, must be kept on tap for sum
mer use. .

the whole Marshall plan has paid
off with a profit. Only one small
part of it.
This particular part had to do
with dollar guarantees on the

abroad. It has been frequently
and heavily criticized as a gov

vored American publishing firms.
But the way It has worked out,
to nearly everyone's surprise, is
that It has turned out as a profit

The whole thing began in n
little-noticed section of the Econ

Of Jap Treaty
Worries Solon
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 d"
Sen. Arthur V. Watkins said Sat
urday he will ask the Senate to
make plain that ratifying, the
Japanese Peace Treaty does not
Imply approval ol the Yalta
Agreement.
The Utah Republican said he
will propose a "reservation" to
the treaty specifying that it does
not include cession of southern
Sakhalin and the Kurlle Islands
to Russia.
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee will begin closed-door
consideration of the peace treaty
and related Pacific security pacts
on Tuesday, but may not come
to a vote until later. Approval is
considered certain.
Once the treaties are out of
committee, they are expected to
be brought up quickly in the
Senate tor ratification. Watkins
would file his reservation at this
point.
The treaty docs not grant the
south end of Sakhalin Island and
the Kurlle Islands to Russia, al
though they are now occupied -by
Russian forces as a result of the
Yalta Agreement which awarded
them to the Soviet Union.
The Japanese Peace Pact, which
Russia refused to sign,' simply re
nounces Japan's claims to this
territory, which she once held,
north, of the Japanese homo Is
lands. Final disposition of this
territory is left to the Allied pow
ers or the United Nations.
Stato Department advisor, John
Foster Dulles, chief architect of
the peace treaty, told the com
mittee that by refusing to sign
the pact, Russia in effect lost her
last legal chance to claim south-
em Sakalin and the Kurllcs.
Russians Laud
Late President
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 U1
Russia has appealed to the Amer
ican people to reject the Truman
Administration and return to the
policies of President Roosevelt.
In a broadcast beamed to the
United States, Radio Moscow
paid the late President lavish tri
bute but charged President Tru
man with leading the world to
ward World War Hi.
"A return to Roosevelt's policy
of cooperation and good neign
borly relations with the USSR,!!,
it said, "corresponds to the inter'
csts of peace-loving people, to
tho common Interest of both the
Soviet and American people.
In contrast, Moscow said, "the
Truman Government . . . has tak
en the road of aggravating rela
tions with the USSR, the road of
preparation for a new war."
It said American delegates In
the United Nations are "under
going" the big-power veto power
and added "it was no tifcldeht
that this principle was proposed
by none other than Roosevelt."
The broadcast was an evident
attempt to use Roosevelt's name
to discredit America's present ef
forts to contain Russian expan
sion. It was labeled "a tribute to
Franklin Delano Roosevelt on
what would have been his 70th
birthday had ho lived." It prais
ed the late President's "tireless
activities on behalf of peace."
