staged another milestone in the progress of aviation. They
riou, mil in (?' hours and 22 minutes and except for
poor visibility would have continued their fight to Oakland,
Cal. ,
A low-winged single motored monoplane of Russian
make was used, and demonstrates anew that the Russians
are among the leaders in modern aviation. While the flight
was a spectacular stunt, it proved that the most adverse cli
matic conditions can be overcome by aircraft and a flight be
safely made to any part of the world and over any part of it
which ought to convince the
futility of creat armaments.
Commercial aviation is now successfully established be
tween North and South America, between the United States
and the orient, between Europe and South Africa, between
Eurone. Africa and South America and will be shortly be
tween the United States and
tic. Round the world flights are a commonplace.
In brief there will be no capital of any nation, that will
be safe from aerial attack in a
ulation, the greater the menace,

and centering attacks upon non
Jized the more barbarous the
science is perverted for destruction.
Modern wars involve entire populations, not like the wars
of the past confined to professional fighting men and they
are ended by national destruction. let the energies and re
sources of the so-called "enlightened" countries arc concen
trated on preparations for a war that can only mean the an
nihilation of a western civilization and the relapse into new
dark ages. '
The Fall of Blum
The fall of the Blum government in France again em
phasizes, like the frequent cabinet changes in Spain, the im
possibility of radical elements uniting for long or agreeing
upon a united front. Revolution feeds upon itself and devours
its creators until a wearied and exhausted people surrender
their liberties for promised safety and stability, in whatever
form it is offered to avert utter anarchy, and are crunched
under the iron heel of dictatorship perpetuated by tyranny.
The immediate cause of the defeat of the socialist Blum
was the refusal of the French senate to grant decree powers
to deal with the financial crisis
sooner or later in the United States if the present program
of increasing the national deficit by wasteful expenditures
is continued. We are already experiencing the same epidemic
of communist inspired strikes that precipitated the turmoil
in France.
The fall of the Blum government is of international im
portance because of the role it played in the Spanish situa
tion and its efforts with America and Britain through a tri
partite monetary accord to work for currency stabilization,
The peoples front, attempting
openly inendiy to the bpanish government. But a conserva
tive senate regarded Blum's demand for power to deal with
finance as dictatorial and refused approval.
France is used to these crises and has them every few
months with a constant succession of governments. French
men do not take them as srriiously as the rest of the world
ana somenow or other muddle their way through.
Need Stronger Medicine
Discouraged, apparently, by the lack of public coopera
tion police officers on the downtown traffic beats are dis
playing a noticeable slacking in the recently inaugurated
campaign against double parkcrs, with the result that con
gestion is again becoming serious during the peak traffic
hours.
It was made obvious by the lines of double-parked cars
on some of the principal business streets last Saturday after
noon that the policy of simply warning offenders to move
along is not going to effect a cure of the evil. Tickets and
fines must be resorted to if the practice is to be stopped.
Blame for abuse of the privilege accorded automobile
drivers of double parking long enouglr to take on and dis
charge passengers cannot, however, be laid entirely upon the
police officers. It is physically impossible for onc'officer on
foot to adequately patrol the two sides of a single block dur
ing the rush hours of the day and hand out tickets to all dou
ble parkcrs, besides directing traffic and checking curb
parked vehicles to see that time limits are observed.
The Capital Journal suggests that one officer be equip
ped with a motorcycle and assigned to roving patrol duty,
particularly directed at enforcement of the double parking
regulations, in the downtown area dining the rush hours of
the day.

The board voted not to enter the
controversy over whether a garape
should be constructed at 12th and
Court streets, across from the capi
tol, leaving the matter to the Salem
city council. The board, however,
said It wanted a garage nearby in
which to store state cars.
During the discussion relative to
the garage building state Treasurer
Holman admitted that he had at
first encouraged the sponsors of the
project with the idea of securing a
central garage for tlie storage of
state cars close to the capitol. He
denied, however, that lie was com
mitted to any particular location.
Holman for months has been ad
vocating the central storage garage
idea.

(P) Chief Justice Charles
the question facing society is
democratic institutions but of
will leave appropriate scope for m-
dividual freedom.
"The question U not one of the
adequate power of government, de
signed to keep clear the highways of
honest endeavor, but how that power
shall be used.
"tiafe as we may still be in the
present, what of the look ahead?"
he asked.
"Are our democratic Impulses
growing weaker, and under the pres
sure of economic forces and insidious
teachings of an alien philosophy,
will our democracy be able to sur
vive?"
Warning "put no confidence in
mere forms or in institutional ar
rangements however astutely con
trived in the interest of liberty."
tlie chief justice asserted "the se
curity of our democratic InstitU'
Hons is not in existing constitutional
provisions or framework of govern'
ment but in the dominant sentiment
which maintains them.
"That dominant sentiment." he
said, "is the resultant of many in
teracting forces, among which is the
outstanding influence of our In
tellectual leaders who have had the
special advantages of our education'
al establishments. Our colleges and
universities sow the seed of which
the nation will reap the crop."
Declaring freedom of learning
and speech, freedom of press and
assembly and freedom of conscience
"the essential buttressrs of demo
cratic institutions," Mr. Hughes
said:
"Our first duty is to preserve these
freedoms of learning, of speech, of
press, of assembly, of conscience,
and to be alert to detect the slight
est attempt to impair them. But our
confidence will prove illusory, if
those who are foremost In the en
jovment of thee privileges are not
keenly conscious of their responsi
bility."

Washington, June 20. There Is
a Utile chart in the Department of
Agriculture with two lines on it that
are almost parallel. They represent
nages paid to labor and the income
of the da lry farmer. General )y
speakmg. farm income and wages
march side by side. too. But when
you try to chart the lines along
which agriculture and labor are
marching these days toward a mu
tually abundant life, they are any
thing but parallel.
Labor Worries Farmers Canvas
sins the leading farm organizations
ui Washington, three things annoy
tlie fanner as he looks at the labor
situation:
1. The fact that administration
roses have all been pinned on la
bor's hat recently.
2. The fear that more strikes will
mean less butter and eggs and other
farm products purchased.
3. The farmer tat least some of
thtTn) has acquired a little pros
perity, which has, in some cases,
created a labor problem for him.
The result of these "annoyances"
is that the National Grange which
sits at the extreme right of the
farm organizations) has urged upon
congress that it leave tlie wages and
hours bill to another session, if any,
to be voted upon.
Tlie grangers are impelled by the
fear that it will drive up wages,
hence prices of farm Implements
and other products which the farm
er consumes.
Carrying on their campaign to
postpone action by tying up the
measure with the unpopular court
bill, which they have done from
the first, the grange invited Sena
tor Wheeler of Montana to speak
on the subject on its hour on the
radio.
Creameries Seek Exemption But
the folks who are said to be get
ting further away from the propo
sition for regulating wages and
hours are the ones who are near
est the wase-earners on the Depart
ment of Agriculture's chart the
dairy farmers. There are more than
two million of them, and each gets
a letter every week that he never
throws into the waste basket. It
contains a check from the cream
ery company that buys his milk.
Along with the check, these days,
goes a communication to the ef
fect that regulating the creamery
hours will sour the milk business.
Actually, the creamery people say
they don't want to defeat the bill.
They just want an exemption when
it comes to regulating hours, for
their own business, which, they say,
can't be regulated.
They believe they can prove it as
sure as cream curdles.
Poll Favors Roosevelt Now that
the frost is on the julep, and the
thermometer frisks ninety, the talk
turns to presidential candidates as
a subject which requires no brain
effort at all. By way of a contri
bution, the results of a recent poll
taken by a middle western maga
zine on the opinion of Washington
correspondents has been privately
announced. According to the poll
ers, the majority of the correspond
ents (who were warned to pick
their guess and not their wish)
guessed the incumbent.
Foreign Orders Banned The
heart-burn afflicting certain deserv
ing diplomats when the president
recently tightened up on the rules
against accepting foreign orders and
decorations has developed into a
few cases of acute indigestion.
Tlie unusual italics in the irksome
executive order appear to make it
a moot question whether the state
department can accept any such
awards at all. Formerly, they were
deposited in escrow in the depart
ment safe until the intended recip
ients left the service.
Incidentally, the prohibitions are
said to have been underlined by
Counsellor R. Walton Moore.
FaHey'a Stamp Catalog Postmas
ter General Farley, friend and' or
enemy of Philatelists, has caused an
uproar in the stamp collecting world
by bringing out the finest catalog
of United States stamps ever print
ed. It is the best because it blandly
disregards the law which hitherto
has forbidden the printing of the
likenesses of American stamps, on
penalty of fine of not more than
$5,000 or of imprisonment of not
more than fifteen years, or both.
The collectors have been fighting
to lift this ban for years.
Now. right on the heels of Mr.
Farley's catalog which costs only
25 cents, comes a bill introduced by
Representative Summers of Texas,
which would make reproduction of
stamps under rigid restrictions
legal.

vocates in favor of an amendment
by Senator Robinson, D., Ark.,
require local communities, where
able, to supply 25 per cent of the
cost of WPA work projects.
Another advocate of the Robin
son amendment, Senator Borah, R..
Ida., said increasing governmental
spending was "a creeping paralysis"
which had reached near the "heart"
of the nation.
He said in 1850 taxes took only
one cent of every dollar of income,
but In 1936, took 35 per cent.
"There must be a reduction," he
exclaimed.
He spoke after Senator McKellar.
D., Tenn., criticized tlie Robinson
proposal as "unfair, unjust and im
possible of fulfillment," and assert
ed he was "not willing to balance
the budget at the expense of tlie
needy."
Robinson has started political
tongues wagging by his revolt
the pending bill.
The veteran Arkansan rarely has
differed publicly with President
Roosevelt since he became "boss" of
the senate majority in March, 1833.
So colleagues watched him with
surprise today as he fought with

crats to write Into the relief bill

ing.
Robinson's amendment would re
quire local governments, where able,
to put up at least 25 per cent of the
cost of local projects.
Senator Barkley, D., Ky.. leading
the administrations battle for
unrestricted bill, contended tlie
amendment would be rejected. Both
sides hoped for a final vote before
nightfall.
