Enforced Temperance
Whether the consuming; public likes it or not, the state
liquor commission took a long step in the direction of temper
ance yesterday when it curtailed the hours during which
liquor stores are to remain open for business, ruling that with
two exceptions all state stores are to close not later than 11
p. m. Two stores in the Portland business and hotel area are
to remain open until midnight after November 1, when the
order becomes effective.
The deficiency in the ruling is that it is not broad enough
in its application. Except on rare special occasions, none of
the upstate stores remain open later than 11 o'clock few of
them that late.
The commission explains the order with the statement
that the amount of business done after 11 p. m. does not jus
tify the expense of keeping open. A close analysis of the sales
records of upstate stores would probably reveal that the same
argument applies to them; that many of them are kept open
later than the volume of business justifies, and that a large
percentage of their late customers are persons who have al
ready imbibed generously and would be better off without
more booze.
In a measure it's the old story of one drink calling for
two, two for three, etc.
From one angle there is no valid reason why the liquor
shops should be kept open beyond 8 p. m. at the latest, which
would give everyone an opportunity to purchase their sup
plies while sober and fully capable of intelligently measuring
their needs and capacity. But there are two arguments
against such early closing, one being the consequent reduc
tion in already inadequate relief revenues, which reason is
purely economic.
The second and more substantial argument Is that un
reasonably early closing would offer an incentive to bootleg
ging and stimulate the almost unrestricted private sale of
fortified wines which, some contend, are more harmful than
distilled liquors when taken to excess. Until restrictions are
placed on the hours of sale of fortified wines the wisdom of
unduly restricting the sale of hard liquor would be question
able. One solution lies in confining the legal sale of fortified
wines to state stores and agencies.
National Income Losses
In the findings of the National Resources committee of
which Secretary Ickes is chairman, made to the president last
month on the Structure of American Economy it is stated
that the loss in national income for 1930-37 inclusive due to
depression, unemployment of men and machines, was $204.7
million.
For the three acute years of depression 1930-32 inclusive,
the estimated loss was $73 billion, or an average of $24.3 bil
lion per year, while the loss for the five years under new deal
spending and other policies, 1933-37, was $131.7 billion, or
$26.3 billion a year.
The committee says that failure to use our men and re
eources in full "is placing our democratic institutions in
jeopardy." This seems conclusive proof that the new deal's
lending-spending policies have actually increased the loss in
national income, as well as raising the national debt to an all
time record high along with taxation, which in itself places
the nation "in jeopardy."
Annual federal appropriations have jumped from $8,
675,503,992 for 1934 to $13,348,115,564 for 1940. The federal
payroll, not including those on relief and payments to farm
ers, increased from 572,091 in 1933 to 920,310 in 1939 above
the war time peak of 1918. The federal debt has climbed from
$21,676,467,340 in June 30, .1933, to $40,963,392,881.
Although the report provides no concrete solution to the
problem of increasing the national income, it is apparent that
a relationship exists between the policies of the new deal,
which include not only government expansion, spending and
increasing debt, but various oppressive and confidence-destroying
policies, and the heavy losses in national income.
The great cure-all has failed to cure.
Time to End the Talk Fest
Debate in the senate over revision of the neutrality act,
which is not, neutrality at all for its passage aids certain bel
ligerents and its defeat aids other belligerents, shows signs
of nearing an end. Then will come proposed amendments
which will give congressional windmills a chance to whirl
merrily again.
Granted that these orators arc sincere in voicing their
own opinion instead of public sentiment if their long appeals
have changed a single vote in congress or swayed public opin
ion, despite the deluge of propaganda which has submerged
congressmen as well as their constituencies. Most of the de
baters on both sides have conjured up terrible calamaties
sort of Halloween horrors unless their pleas are followed.
The original hill has been sensibly amended, it was prob
ably drawn drastically to enable compromises, The credit
clause from cash and carry has been stricken out and mari
time regulations amended so as not to destroy American ship
ping, leaving only the lifting 0f w embargo' against shipping
of munitions at the belligerents' risk in his own vessels.
There seems no good reason why the talk-feat or rostrum
and radio should not come to a speedy end, with everything
naid on both sides, and what has all the earmarks of filibuster
in the senate brought to a close.

Suppose we look at this matter
from another angle. A young man

he never dreamed of in his unmar

work hard all day, and then walk
the floor all night with a sick child.
Real marriage and a real home
means the "forsaking of all that one
hath." These sacrifices are gladly
made when necessary, because of
the love which prompts them. And
religion is love. A love that Is un
willing to sacrifice Is a cheap sub
stitute for the real thing and that
so-called love never brings the joy
which real love always provides.
And Jesus wants those who become
his disciples to have the love that
makes sacrifice easy and insures
the peace and joy which are the
birthright of every true child of
God.
So Grenfell forsook the easy life
of a London physician and gave

So Kagawa went to live in a

tuberculosis and caught trachoma

It is absolutely true that believing
on the Lord Jesus insures salva
tion. .But that believing leads us
to commit our lives to Him, to fol
low His way, to forsake the lesser
goods for the really valuable things
of life.
Faith leads to love and love leads
to sacrifice and the outcome is

Trade Treaties May
Be Facing Doom
Two Parlies Join
In Denunciation
No Census Patronage
For Mott and Angell
By John W. Keliy
Washington, Oct. 21 With practi
cally every product of forest and
field and stream In the Oregon
Washington region affected by trade
treaties which the administration
has negotated, and others now being
negotiated, anything Indicating free
dom from these treaties is news
worthy. Long-range prediction to
that these treaties all of them
will expire June 12, 1940. The danger
In which these treaties stand Is just
beginning to dawn on the White
House and state department.
Like a snowball, resentment Is
growing against the trade treaties,
for up to the present agriculture and
its by-products have been sacrificed
to aid the makers of typewriters,
autos and other machinery. Criti
cism, which started originally In the
Pacific Northwest when the admln-
stratlon put the lumber industry of
Washington and Oregon on the
chopping block, is now reaching a
climax as state department negotia
tes with' Argentina and Chile and
plans to make matters more tough
for the American farmer, cattleman
and fruit grower.
No One Defends It
A phalanx of senators and repre
sentatives have been trooping to the
old Landoffice building and de
nouncing the proposed reciprocal
trade agreements to the committee
on reciprocity information. Not one
congressman appeared to defend the
treaty. Good administration demo-
crate are fighting this new deal po
licy side by side with republicans.
Too many agricultural sections have
been hurt through trade treaties.
The handwriting is on the wall.
This year congress has appro
priated $700,000,000 to aid American
farmers: production has been cur.
tailed and regulated, millions have
been spent exporting surplus and
now, despite these efforts of the gov
ernment to aid the farmers, two
more treaties are contemplated
which will throw open the domestic
market to Invasion of agricultural
products from South America.
Policy Maker Unidentified
Treaty-making Is the business or
the president and the senate, but
during the honeymoon of Mr. Roose
velt, the senate surrendered this au
thority to the president. He passed
it on to the state department and
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
passed it on to one of his unidenti
fied clerks and this unknown has
been making the policy. Aside from
a handful of people, such as Mr,
Roosevelt, Secretary Hull and rep
resentatives of foreign governments,
no one can tell the name of the clerk
who actually trades off the dairy
man, fanners and fruit growers.
Sentiment is now strong for the
senate to recapture its treaty-making
power (but every authority dele
gated to Mr. Roosevelt he still has
and he has been successful In re
sisting relinquishment), and end
the invisible government in trade
agreements.
Plenty In Hostile Camp
Tlie statute on which these treat
ies are based was passed in 1934;
was renewed in 1036, then to 1838
and then to 1940. Unless renewed
again, the law expires by limitation
June 12, 1940. A quiet, survey among
senators indicates that at present
there are enough senators hostile
over the treaties to prevent the
law being oxtended beyond next
year. Expiration of the law auto
matically wipes out all of the trade
treaties, including, of course, the
one with Canada which has been a
handicap to the lumber industry of
Washington and Oregon.
In making the trade treaties a
senator or representative protesting
has no more Influence than a pri
soner in a concentration camp.
They can protest until red In the
race (many become that way), but

Editor's Note In 1934 Sheridan
Downey was a candidate for lieu
tenant governor of California on
Upton Sinclair's EPIC ticket. In
1936 he ran for congress as a Town
sendite. In 1938 he was the candi
date of the "Ham and Eggers" for
U. S. senator. Ser article entitled
"Merchandizing Miracles" by Joseph
Alsop and Robert Kintner in Sat
urday Evening Post, Sept. 16, 1939.
To The Editor I notice In your
Saturday paper of Oct. 14th you
make an attack on Senator Sheri
dan Downey. You have gone a long
way from the truth. Sen. Downey is
not for "Ham and Eggs" nor never
has been. Because the California
papers dubbed him a ham and eggs
candidate there is no reason why
you should misrepresent him.
He helped the Ham and Eggs ad
vocates to get the measure on the
ballot for a vote at the regular elec
tion. He told them he was not for them
but he said when over one million
people had signed initiative peti
tions they were entitled to be heard.
Now Mr. Downey Js a dyed-in-the-wool
Townsendite. You go down
to the public library and get his
book on Pensions or Penury and
read it, It will do you good.
We see no reason for calling him
a rabble-rouser. Get your record
straight and when you mention his
name again, speak softly.
If you appreciate the truth and
a free press you will do this.
Truly yours,

Tlie first change I shall draft

ties, such as revocation of license

say, but the last session of Oregon
legislature gave the people ample
proof that the Influence of selfish

Of Reservists
Seattle. Oct. 21 (!) Capt. Alfred

Friday he had resigned from the
Kent I in charjter of the reserve offic
ers association because a fellow of
ficer addressing the chapter earlier
nit u-ppk referrpri to Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh as "Herr von Lindbergh."
The Rev. E. Raymond Aiteraery,
a major-chaplain in the 146th field
artillery, Washington national
guard, defended the remarks he
made about Lindbergh and Lind
bergh's recent neutrality speech.
"t rcsnect Colonel Lindbergh high
ly as an aviator, but I believe he is
a novice so far as statesmanship is
concerned," Atterbery said.
But Captain Walter said I still
believe the speaker Intended to con
vpv the imoression that, in the event
of conflict of interests between Ger
many and the United States, Colonel
Lindbergh would give primary con
sideration to the interests of Ger
many and only secondary consider
ation to the interests of the United
States, his own country.
"In other words, the speaker, i
believe, intended to convey the Im
pression that Colonel Lindbergh was
disloyal to his own country."
Captain Walter, a real estate deat

was resigning merely from the
chapter, not from the reserve asso
