"With or without of lent to friends or foet I tuetcn your world At it Haki Hirota, foreign minister of Japan in a formal ex change of notes with the American department of state, pledges peace and disavows hostile intentions with any power He states that the Japanese (government "has no intention whatever to provoke and make trouble with any other pow er." These words have a strangely familiar sound. Similar utterances preceded the invasion and conquest of Manchuria, the attack on Shanghai and the invasion of northeast China from the Great Wall. Japan stood pledged to this peace program in the 9 pow er pact for the preservation of the integrity of China, in the Kellogg peace pact to prevent war, in the League of Nation's treaty and other international agreements, violated almost as soon as signed. And the new note comes after Japan has withdrawn from the League and established a puppet regime in Manchuria. And she continues to go through the hollow mockery of posing as an angel of peace. Concerning; the United States Hirota does "not doubt that all issues pending between the two nations will be set tled in a satisfactory manner. It is the sincere desire of Japan that a most peaceful and friendly relation be firm ly established." Much the same peaceable professions were made to China by Japan while plotting her dismemberment for terri torial agrandizment so it is the part of caution not to take them too seriously. It is significant also that the friendly note comes after congress has voted to increase the navy to treaty strength, which brought forth violent denunciations of America by Japanese military leaders who really rule Japan and for whom the civil government is merely an apolo gist. The United States has no desire for cither war or terri torial enlargement Japan has for both, and if trouble comes it will be due to Japanese aggression to which diplomatic sauvity is merely a means to an end. Japan has given ample proof that her treaties are merely scraps of paper to machia velian rulers. State Sidewalks Replying to a demand from Eugene that the state high way commission build sidewalks for pedestrians along heav ily traveled portions of state highways, Leslie M. Scott, chairman of the commission points out that no funds are available for such purposes, nor is it fair to the motor own ers to use their funds for anything except highway building and maintenance. Among other things Mr. Scott says: The cost would run Into hundreds of thousands of dollars and even million!). The hlphwny between Kiiltene and Spi-lniifleld Junction Is but one section of 6300 miles of state highways. It the state highway de partment Is to build a sidewalk there. It will have to build sidewalks In many other places. This question has been before the . . . commission for many years. . . Thus far the state has refrained from this construc tion. On bridges the slate has provided sidewalks, but this Is obviously necessary. For current projects of primary highway construction the state hinhwny department has $3,000,000 from federal sources to apply on $100,000,000 of projects throughout the state. . . If the .. .department la to launch upon a statewide policy of sidewalk construction, which it will have to do If It builds a sidewalk between Eugene and Springfield Junction, this will deplete funds for highway construction and make long er waits for needed improvements In highways. If sidewalks are necessary, they should be built locally, wilh property owners contributing, perhaps by the creation of sidewalk districts to make special assessments, as in the case of county roads. The proposal to saddle another burden on the motorist for something that does not benefit him, is absurd. There might be a license required for the pedestrian using such sidewalks to provide maintenance. But who uses sidewalks nowadays? Even in the cities, only the sidewalks in the business districts are much used and then only from the parking place to store, and these side walks are built by adjacent property owners, not by the community. And almost the only pedestrians on the high ways are the hitch-hikers and they never get far without a lift. Walking has become a lost art, and sidewalks along highways a waste of money. Bock Beer After some 20 years of absence through banishment by prohibition laws, pictures of prancing and smiling goats are again in evidence in Salem drinking places and bock beer will make its traditional spring appearance the date being set by brewers' agreement for March 25. Bock of course means goat in German but what beer has to do with goats or how the two became linked together re mains a mystery of medieval times, when it had its origin, though several unsatisfactory legends have been advanced. Webster defines bock beer as follows: A corruption of elnbecker beer from the town of Elnbeck In Germany A kind of beer brewed in the spring from concentrated wort. Bock originated in the days before refrigeration, when beer could not be brewed in the summer, so the first appear ance of the winter's brew, usually sometime in May was cele brated in Germany with beer festivals, and bock was the special brew made for the occasion. It was a lager of extra strength, aged longer, richer in malt extract and darker than light beer. Einbcck w:ta a famous brew of the 11th century and was emulated by Duke William V of Bavaria in the 16th century when ho started a Brauhaus for his own ducal beer. Modern brewers keep up the bock beer custom not only from sentimental reasons, but to stimulate business at a slack time and inaugurate the beer season. They can make it any time, but for advertising reasons, only enough bock beer is brewed to last two weeks. So the goat, in more or less fantastic postures and gambols is ut ilizetl as the emblem of spring opening. IlKOAU.tl'ltKS VISITORS Broudarrc VL''ttora here recent ly were Mr. and Mrs. R.

A dozen well-to-do republican senstars have put their head together in what amounts to a secret political society. They have pooled their pocketbookji privately and set up an organization known among Its friends as the last of the Mohicans. The primary object Is to re-elect Mohican republican senators, but the lonsr range objective is to re store their once proud race to na tional political prestige. Three or four of the senators are wealthy. They have guaranteed a .salary and expenses for an excep tionally able publicity man. Warren Wheaton, former Washington news man. The understanding Is general that he will take over national committee publicity after the No vember elections. Next Senate The breaks are against them. Their senators come up for re-election In such states as Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey. Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Indiana. If the democrats do not win four or five of those states, the new dealers will be bitterly dis appointed. The chances are two to one at this early date that the democratic majority will be strengthened con siderably In the senate by the next election. Nearly all the democrats who are up for re-election come from the south, which Is just as solid today as it was In '61. Next House In private, the dem ocrats admit that they expect to lose 40 scats In the house. The Inside claims of the republicans are not optimistic. They do not expect to gain more than 70 seats at most, which Li not enough to let them control the house. Where the republicans ar sure to gain Is In the states like Kentucky and Missouri. The republican dis tricts in those states lost their con gressmen last time because they had to run at large and the state at large went democratic. The re publicans also will pick up their normal rock-ribbed districts like the one in Virginia and two or three in California, which they have held since the year one 1932 excluded No matter how you figure it, haw ever, the democrats will retain con trol of congress. The only thing wntcn can change this Is a wide spread popular revulsion against the new deal. That may come, but It certainly Is not in sight. Skullduggery Slippery Sam In still was secretly aided in his es cape by a political faction in Greece not the government. At least, that Is the belief of our officials In touch with the situa tion. They say sotto voce that the Greek government was quite sincere and fair in its handling of the mat ter after it changed its tactics a few months ago. But a certain faction, represented by the minis ter of Interior, was not considered fair. That is why the minister re signed. The state department people are confident they will ultimately get Insull bark to Chicago. The flying bird will have to alight sometime. Jay The high moguls In our state department are secretly glad to see Mussolini expanding. They believe it may mean a de cline of French domination tn Eu rope. French control was founded on alliances with the small central European nations. Now Mussolini is muscling in with his new trea ties. He will also stop Hitler, It only for the time being. People say that he will help dis armament because he Is more sin cere on that subject than the French, but that la a good deal to expect.

Air Mall Smiling Jim Farley has lost his smile for the first time since he entered public life. The airmail situation Is much more tangled on the Inside than on ths out The house committee has been balky and has got under Farley's skin. No one yet knows how it will all come out. The airlines will get their contracts back but the hag gling over terms will continue in definitely. Power? Defeat of the St. Law rence treaty has been accredited to the power companies. They did not do as much as they are getting credit for. They may have helped to sway three or four senate votes, but the treaty was killed by the sectional self-interest of eastern democrats. The power lobby here Is not what it used to be. Their lobbyist Is supposed to have closed down his office January 1 and has been looking for another jjob. Notes Two Wall streeters were talking It over the other day and agreed the days of easy money making were about over. They be lieved modest Investment profits can be expected generally, but that big Investment profits will be rare. Vice President Gamer has been running wild with his little gavel. He raps the appropriation bills through ths senate so fast that the senators have no time for orat ing. The administration has certainly soft-pedaled all phases of the mon ey Issue except silver. The com mittee for the nation Is still agi tating as much as ever for fur ther depreciation, but no one pays any attention. Book publishers say there Is market now for books critical of the new deal, but that the mar ket for praise Is dead. When the congressmen learned that their restaurant showed a profit of IS for the first few months, they beseeched the authorities to reduce prices. They have been eat ing at a government loss for so long that they hate to see the gov ernment come out even on their food. Silver ton Miss Shirley Sylvester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. E.

Is said to have pro duced a most unusual picture In "Heat Lightning," unusual not only in treatment, but in cast and loca tion. The picture is scheduled as the feature attraction at the Capitol theater for three days beginning Thursday, heading a double feature program. Its location is both unique ana picturesque, the authors of the or iginal Broadway stage bit, Leon Ab- rams and ueorge Abbott, having placed the entire action of their story in a single locale, that of a gas station in the heart of the desert. They also have crowded the dyna mic action into a space of 24 hours. But in that space of time the life of one of the characters Is snuffed out and that of two others unalterably changed. Aline MacMahon has the leading role while others In the cast include Ann Dvorak, Preston Foster, Glen da Farrell, Lyle Talbot, Frank Mc Hugh, Ruth, Donnelly and Jane DaxweU. The cry for realism has hit Holly wood and when J. P. McCarthy, writer and director of the Tilfany production. -The Land of Missing Men." started work on this picture he Immediately cast Al Jennings in one of the leading roles. Jennings acted In the capacity of actor and "advisory expert. This Western special featuring Bob Steele. Is at the Capitol theater. Others In the cast Include Al St. John. Fern Emmett, Caryl Lincoln and Ed Dunn. HALT DEMANDED ON CONSTRUCTION City Attorney Chris J. Kowltz is requested, in a resolution voted by the cy planning and toning commission lost night, to start In junction proceedings against Hay nes 5c Kim. service station opera tors, to prevent their completing a rest room and grease rack on the parking at 1505 Fairgrounds road. The station has started the con struction in compliance with an or dinance by the city council. The commission claims It was not formally consulted by the coun cil, and D. W. Pugh, chairman of the commission, says he asked Al derman V. E. Kuhn, chairman of the street committee, to put the case before the commission. Trl 8. Bulck Is going place this year. The public recog nizes in Bulck a new kind of motoring, finer ss well as different with all the unfailing dependability and performance for which Buick is noted. . . . With out question, this finer motoring begins with the gliding ride as only Bulck gives it, which Is being mors and more favorably discussed as new Buick sales mount up. Safety and convenience and ease enter In, with Buick's new center point steer ing, its new vacuum power brakes and BUICK far934 XT J. Center Phone McSherry said last night that If one service nation ere granted the privilege others would ask the same favor and could not consis tently be refused. The firm planned to spend about $500 In the con struction. The commission, after hearing arguments from L- R. and Aveld Barnlck. C. A. Beckner and others, voted to recommend that the Qmnaby-Champoeg private road, when dedicated as a public high way, have a 40-foot right of way. Barnkrk and others wanted a 30 foot right ol way. Commissioner W. W. Rosebraugh conferred yesterday with the county court relative to the width of highway rights of way within six miles of Salem, the radius over which the commission has jurisdic tion. The sorting ordinance provides for sixty feet, but It has been de cided that each project should be considered on its merits. MEN GN GUARD Salem representatives of the small fruit Industry played a prom inent part in a meeting at Port land yesterday at which steps were launched to protect the industry against unfair competition and maintain it, if possible, on a profit able basis, A committee of four men, with power to choose a fifth, will draw up a marketing agreement, as a result of the meeting, under provi sions of state agricultural act of the last legislature. Ray Glatt of Woodburn was named as a member of tills committee. The object of the committee is to frame an act which will maintain the Industry against cheap competition, hold up the grades on small fruit and en deavor to get the Industry on Its feet. It was pointed out under an AAA agreement In Florida shippers will be prohibited from handling straw berries which have not been fed erally Inspected except for purposes of charity, unemployment relief, manufacture of by-products, frees ing or canning. It was stated at the meeting that the ruling would put canned berries in the junk class, while in the Pacific northwest can ned berries are very carefully hand led and graded. Among the men interested in the industry who were present from here were C. H. Kane, barreler; W. Frank Crawford, grower; R. W. Clarke, grower; Robert E. Shlnn, co-operative packer; Fred J. Brown ing, grower; Frank Hrubetz, presi dent Salem Berry Growers' associa tion; Charles A. Cote, state depart ment of agriculture; W. O. Allen, packer. Its new automatic starting. . . . Ths rich luxury of body accommodations goes hand tn hand with the alluring beauty of Buick's new styling In the symmetrical wtndstream manner.... The dominating feature of Bulck ownership Is satisfaction, gratifying and enduring. The buyer knows beforehand by report If not by per sonal contact that Bulck owners regard their cars with something like the sffection they give to s friend. Don't you want to own the car which will be a true friend as long as you have it and which this year Is going places? WILSH 5151 WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1934 URGE RELEASE OF ARCHERD ON TECHNICALITIES Habeas Corpus proceedings for Charles R. Archerd, finally reached the argument stage this morning before Judge Lewelling after a day spent In getting In the record and continuances taken by interruption of the court by other business. Custer K. Ross, who came Into the case as an additional attorney for Archerd In the present proceed ings, advanced two main proposi tions In his argument to attack the jurisdiction of the court with Judge Ariie Walker sitting. His first proposition was that there Is no record of the transfer of the case from Judge McMalian to Judge Lewelling, and that the case pri marily came up In department No. 1 under Judge McMalian. Further no affidavit of the prejudice was filed against Judge McMahan and his contention was that there was no legal right to transfer the ca.se from Judge Lewelling to Judge Walker, when the case had never been transferred to Judge Lewelling in the first place and that under the record Judge McMahan was the only Judge with Jurisdiction to sit on the case. His second point raised was that while Judge Walker was sitting on the case Judge McMahan was tran sacting business of department No. 1 at the same time. This he stated. was expressly inhibited by statute at the time, and as further evidence of such inhibition he cited a law of the last legislature passed for the express purpose of allowing two judges to transact business in the same department at the same time. C. M. Pruess for Archerd argued at length. Among the points he raised was Walker's failure to give information to the Jury when asked for It; that none of the wheat in the transaction was delivered to Archerd but to a man named O' Reilly for the Charles R. Archerd Implement company, and that tiie transaction was a corporate trans action and not a personal one. He also argued that the warehouse re ceipt for the wheat involved was evidence of a sale and not of a bail ment and that Archerd was Indict ed on a charge of larceny by bailee. He declared that the obligation cre ated a debt and not a bailment, He also cited seven cases in the record In which he stated the dis trict attorney brought out from wit nesses testimony as to other alleged offenses on the part of Archerd Many other ponits were brought out. District Attorney Trindle answer- ocALta BvtjT tor Salem, Ore.
