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withdrawn from the League and established a puppet regime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.

(Copyright, 114. Paul afallao)
Washington, March 31. 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. It was not an Idle boast

DESERT DRAMA
AND LOVE FILM
WITH WESTERN
Warner Bros. 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.

McSherry said last night that If

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

ment of agriculture; W. O. Allen,
packer.

The dominating feature of Bulck

regard their cars with something like

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.
