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

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.

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

war. All belligerents who have the money to purchase and the
ships to carry, have equal rights.
Repeal of the embargo will favor, temporarily, Britain
and I' ranee because they have the money and the ships, but it
is riot our fault that Germany lacks them. Hitler and Goering
have declared they, can win without and mado war regard

our government. The embargo is un-ncutral as it favors Ger

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. FBI
has a list of the professlor.il agitat
ors and trouble-makers. These will I
be taken care of without fuss or
leatners.
