"With or without offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as-it goes." Sincerity of Dictators , What Hitler thought of Stalin and Soviet Russia and what Stalin thought of Hitler and Germany before the two dictators became brothers in bloodshed makes entertaining reading as a cynical expose of the sincerity of the gangster regimes of those who rule by terrorism over masses Of hu manity regimented as mechanized robots. Hitler in Mem Kempt, the "Dime" ot mzism, speaKs 01 Russia as follows: . i'The former Russia, divested of the German upper stratum, is, en tirely aside from its new rulers' private plans, no ally for a struggle of the German nation for freedom. Considered purely militarily, In the event of a Qermano-Russlan war against Western Europe, which would' probably, however, mean against the entire rest of the world, the relations would be simply castrophic." ,;"The present-rulers of Russia do not consider for a minute entering an alliance sincerely or keeping one." i"We should never forget that the regents of present-day Russia are blood-stained, low criminals; that here' is the scum of humanity, which, favored by conditions in a tragic hour, overran a great state, butchered and rotted out millions of lis leading Intellects with savage bloodthlrsti ness, and for nearly ten years has exercised the most frightful regime of tyranny of all time. Nor rriust we forget that these, rulers belong to a na tion whioh combines a rare mixture of bestiar horror, with an Inconceiv able gift of lying, and today'more than ever before believes Itself called upon to. Impose its bloody oppression on the whole world. We must not forget that the International Jew, who today rules Russia absolutely, sees In Germany; .not an ally, but a state marked for the same destiny. But one does not conclude a treaty v .sii tome one whose sole interest is the . destruction of his partnerMoretwer, one does not make them with par ties to whom fio1 treaty would be sacred, since they inhabit this world, not as the advocates of honor arid truthfulness but as the advocates of lying deceits theft, rapine and plundering." '. '. ; Stalin, in his report to the central committee. of the Sov iet union, referred. -tri ; the Berlin-Rome axis ad a; "geometric equation and the Berlin-Rome-Tokyo triangle ..and commented: ' Par be ib 'from me to moralize on the policy of non-intervention, to talk of treason, treachery, and so on. It would be naive to preach morals to people who recognize no human morality. . But war is Inexorable. It cannot be hidden under any guise. For no "axes," "triangles" or "anti-Comintern pacts" can hide the fact that In this period Japan has seized a vast stretch of territory in China, that Italy has seized Ethiopia, that Germany has seized Austria and the Sudeten region, that Germany and Italy together have seized Spain and all this in defiance of the Interests of the non-aggressive states. . . . Thus we are witnessing an open rodivision of the world and spheres of influences with out mo least attempt at? resistance, and even with a certain amount of cohnlvance'on the'.part of the latter, "f- .".-' It is indeed "naive to preach morals to people who rec oriize no human morality," especially those who "are blood stained low criminals who butcher and rot out millions with savage blood-thirstiness," refreshed by a joint blood bath ili poor Poland , Sound Stadium Advice i With a candor that is refreshing in one charged with the promotion of public projects and the expenditure of public funds George W. Bratlen, western regional representative of the National Recreation association, yesterday gave the mem bers of the Salem civic stadium. committee some sound advice which, coming from one experienced in such matters, com mands respectful consideration. ' ! Braden told the committee what the ("lanital .Tnm Mini AllH others have contended from the first, that development of a purely civic stadium for athletic and other open-air events is not practicable in a community the size of this that it has not a chance of paying out on the investment of the proposed iuu,uuu or more, nan ot which would be provided through a municipal bond issue. i He added that unless conditions are widely different here from what they have been in other cities coming under his observation, such a project would turn out to be a "white elephant." H and when the time comes when Salem has a legitimate need for a more elaborate athletic field existing facilities have never yet been taxed to capacity Braden recommended the improvement of Willamette university's Sweetland field, suggesting that the ground be deeded to the city for develop ment purposes with federal assistance; The sponsorship by a local governmental unit required to secure federal aid would thus be obtained, and upon completion of the improvement the field could be turned back to the university for operation and maintenance under a cooperative agreement assuring full public use of the plant. In addition to being adequate in size for advantageous development, Willamette's field has the advantage of being more centrally located than any other available plot, largely eliminating the need for extensive parking facilities. It al ready has seating accommodations for 3500 spectators under cover, a total capacity of around 6000 people considerably more than have ever been attracted to an outdor event nere and is lighted. ; Sweetland field could be developed into an adequate, mod ern athletic plant for probably one-third the cost of a new stadium.

Criticizes America :By John W; Kelly ps for Supper By Don Upjohn A day and a half had elapsed this morning with no filings of any legal papers of any kind at- the county clerk's office, which establishes record lor a great many years, say the boys and girls about the office, It also establishes the great coinci dental effect of the deer hunting season on- the legal business. In other words, in pops the deer season and out pops the legal business. Reports say that an army of 75,000 hunters were mobilized in the state and from what has happened at the county clerk's office apparently mast of them were lawyers. It also makes things look bad for the 4000 deer reported to have gathered up Murderer's Creek in eastern Oregon waiting to be shot. P. S. After foregoing was written Paul Hendricks, city attorney, ap peared a little while before noon and busted the drought wide open by , filing a demurrer. There had Large Picnic Group Absent from Park Silver Falls State Park Mow that the weather Is so much cooler nnd schoolls In session the day for the large picnic is over for this year. Several small prroups were seen scattered about the park. One small picnic consisted of the Albert Rabens family of Coon Hoi low and the Frank Duerst family of this district. Albert Rabens left Monday for Klamath Falls to be there when the deer season opens Wednesday n.m Mr. and Mrs. E. G. (Bud) Ncal, Jr., will move this week-end to Salem where they will make their home The Toney Mcndin sawmill Is also moving to Salem and Ncal will con tinue his work with thorn. been hopes that If a record was to be established of not doing anything at the courthouse it would become a record that would stand for years line Bane Ruth's home run record or Ty Cobb at stealing bases. But Paul Hendricks had to bust into the middle of It and with all things, a demurrer. At least, in breaking a record of this kind it should be done with a complaint on a promis sory note or a damage action. To do It with a demurrer is almost para llel with your columnist knocking out Joe Louis.

Extension Granted For Essay Contest Pcrrydalc Due to a change of time of the Polk county Christian Endeavor convention to October 21 at Falls City, the essay contest on "Christian Stewardship" will be ex tended to October 14. Three prizes of 1 year and i year subscriptions to "The King s Business." and a New Testament will be Riven to win ners of tho contest. The essnys are not to be longer than 500 words and are to be typewritten and returned to Rev. Ouy L. Drill in Salem by October 14. All Polk county young people are urged to enter the contest, Charley Bishop will be 85 years old tomorrow and he still packs a lot more punch than most of the young men of fifty and thereabouts who live hereabouts. At Rotary club yesterday a lot of flowery things were said about Charley by his sin cere admirers and well wisluis Charley very graciously responded by remarking, "Pshaw," which to our mind is one of the oratorical gems of the decade to be delivered by a man put on such a spot as they'd put Charley. It carried all of the flavor of a natural born genius for saying the right thing at the right time in the right way. Charley might have labored for a week In advance attempting to prepare a response for such an occasion and it would have fallen flat in dull com parison to his extemporaneous nug get. Most after dinner speakers could take a leaf from .Charleys book on oratory with great profit to themselves and more to the multi tudes who have to listen. Probably no speech ever delivered at a ser vice club here has said more and certainly not in fewer words. Youth Shows Its Discrimination (Corvallis Gazette-Times) Parents having children who ride bicycles should take ten minutes off and instruct them in the law re garding their use. It isn't likely that many of the kids riding wheels read anything in the papers except the funnies. We know that they are In formed about the fate of Scorchy. Dikie Dare and Oakie Doaks, but doubt if many of them read the con densed rules of the road for cyclists as published in this paper the other day by Police Chief Devlin. Washington; Sept. Jl From his private office behind the senate chamber, John Nance Garner mounted the dais, held his gavel in mid-air as he watched the minute hand of the clock point straight up. Bang, sounded the mallet on the marble slab, and congress convened for 1U most momentous session in 22 years. Paramount question Is: Which is the better policy to adopt to keep the United States out of war sell no munitions to anyone, or sell munitions to anyone who will pay cash and. take the .material away? Every American arid every taxpayer will be affected by the decision, . . There Is a realignment lit con gress. Democrats who. have been vlg orous opponents of the new deal and are at outs with Mr. Roosevelt, are prepared to support his "cash and carry" program. Republicans, deeply rooted in their party, are with the president. Members elected as new dealers are joining veteran isola tionists In their position that the way to keep out of war Is not to sell supplies to belligerents. Pressure and propaganda on every hand. Westerners for Embargo Outstanding advocates of the pol' icy to place an embargo on all war supplies come from the fai west: California's Johnson, Idaho's Borah and Clark, Washington's Bone (in valided at present), but Bone's col league, Schwellenbach, want to sell munitions to Britain and France al though apply the embargo ti. Japan; Utah's King, the two senators of North Dakota, ditto South Dakota. All these westerners are on record. One thing is certain: This special session will make or creak presi dential ambitions, and the nominat ing conventions are but nine months in the future. Talk of "politics is ad journed" is hogwash. Thi: political effect will not be overlooked by any one from the White House to the majority cloakroom in the house where the so-called demagogue club (Martin Dies, chairman) meets. Embassies On Alert Politicos of Europe have never paid much regard to the opinion of. the United States, but while, this special session of congress debates, the foreign offices of France. Ger many, Russia, Great Britain. Italy, Poland, belligerents ano neutrals, will have speedy and accurate re ports: Decision of congress with re spect to munitions may turn the tide one way or the other. It is the pub licly expressed prediction in France and England that the Americans will "come across." Senators have been informed that the reason American opinion is so little respected in Europe is because Americans are always willing to tell Europeans what to do but refuse to accept anv responsibility themselves. Sample: The United States refused to join the league of nations after advocating it; the United States was telling France and Great Britain to save the Czechs and denouncing them for not fighting Instead of the appeasement of Munich, told Hitler what he should do with minorities, etc. . All this will come out as debate rolls on. Roosevelt Confident One man in Washington believes that America can keep out of war if certain policies are pursued. Mr. Roosevelt has implicit confidence in himself. Among precautions: Forbid Americans traveling or vessels of belligerents; prohibit American ships entering war zone waters; engage in no commerce with belligerents ex cept at their own risk; minimize "incidents" which might lead to em broilment; guard against sabotage; prohibit American citizens from raising funds for belligerents or en listing in belligerent armies (these two prohibitions already announced through proclamation); iet the Phil ippines have their independence as planned President Quezon Is not in such a hurry now thereby relieving the United States from policing that that part of the Pacific ocean; warn Industry that too much foreign war business will be followed by a reces sion (as after the first World war); build up national defense until no potential enemy will care to engage in hostilities with the United States. NI.RB Future In Doubt Before the house committee swings into investigation of the Wagner act and the NLRB. mem bers of the latter agency are hurry ing to wind up the odds and ends in Oregon and Washington, have checks made of uncounted ballots In elections, and settle altei months of procrastination whether CIO or AFL is entitled to represent workers in plants, principally sawmills. There are severol cases whicn have been hanging fire for as much as two years One of the unanswered questions of the future Is what will become of the decisions of NLRB when the na tional defense plan takes control of industry and labor and places a ceil ing on profits. There Is a belief In Washington that if an emergency arises calling for the functioning of the control of production, the ad ministration will not tolerate the strikes which marked the. entrance of the United States into the World war and handicapped construction of ships and other vital supplies.
