Vargas at Least Realistic President Gatulio Vargas, who has ruled Brazil as a dictator for all except three months of his 10-year regime, has added a touch of realism to the quixotic plan of defending the entire western hemisphere from European invasion or interference by his speech defending totalitarian European dictatorships. He declared that "vigorous peoples fit for life must follow the route of their aspirations." He continued: We are crossing, and all humanity Is passing, an historical moment of grave repercussions resulting from rapid changes of values. We are marching toward a future different from all we know In economic, poli tical and social organization ... Most of Latin America is ruled by dictatorships, not the totalitarian kind as yet, but the typical southern American political kind which has flourished since European sovereignty was thrown off. They are not democracies in the western European or North American sense. Nearly all of their ties, cultural, racial, language, economic and social are with Europe and will contiune to be, because of origin, tradition and commerce. They depend on Europe for a market for their products, all have large colonies of Europeans. Until the "good neighbor" policy of Roosevelt, American "im- ' perialism was more tearea tnan European aggression. ' Nearly all of the nations are honeycombed by nazi, i fascist and communist "fifth columns" and their military forces openly sympathetic with the totalitarian ideologies. We will have a tremendous if not impossible task in uniting i them in a common defense, though they are all quite willing f that the United States should spend millions in bulling up their defenses and industries. It is another case of wishful ! thinking to find the rainbow. An Amusing Spectacle 1 Portland papers state that the Chinese gamblers of that I city are having a run-in, not with the police, but with the labor unions. It seems that, in the remodeling of leased ' buifiiings, in order to meet the requirements of a profitable j and growing business, and provide underground retreats in j event of raids, non-union labor has been employed. So, the ! Chinese lottery oDerators have been called before the au thorities at the Labor Temple to show cause why their joints (the existance of which must be unknown to the police) shouldn't be picketed. When, a few weeks ago, Bishop Dagwell, in a radio ad dress, attacked gambling and vice conditions in Portland there was not a man or woman in the city who did not know that he was telling the truth. The wise ones, however, knew that he would get nowhere because success would mean the cutting of the rental revenues of many who have a hand in running the city. Today gambling is running wide open in Portland, and it is difficult to enter hundreds falling over one or two pin street can give you the telephone number of a horse bookie and even direct you to his One racketeer, newly arrived, has had the effrontry, find he Is getting away with it, to install himself against a post at the stadium, where the dog races are being con ducted, and, through a string of runners, book bets from small players. Neither the state nor the racing association reap any revenue from the money passing through the hands of these "bookie bootleggers." The police say that it is the state s Job to stop him it is that is losing revenue. Congress Should Stay on Congress has a duty to perform to the American people In this time of crisis, and that is to remain in continuous session, rather than adjourning, leaving the president clothed with emergency powers, which with his emotional sympathies 1 might stretch defense Into actual war. A recess could provide I lor attendance at the national conventions, and the session ) be resumed Immediately after. The emergency is too vital ; to be entrusted to one man dictatorship until necessary. I While congress has almost unanimously responded to irush through defense measures and a taxation bill, it has : done so at the neglect of important legislation affecting the ; country. While some of the vital reform bills have been ; passed overwhelmingly in one of the two branches, thy arc being pigeon-holed, evidently at the president's request, in the oiher branch. The house passed the needed amendments to the Wagner labor act, to remedy injustice, and it passed the Logan-Walter bill to curb bureaucratic powers. The Hatch bill, forbidding federal-slate employes from participation in politics, is also being held up in the senate. The president wants them left up in tne air, but they represent the will of the people, which should not be thwarted by one man. It is evident that the president desire nil eliminated, leaving him with a cespne tne constitutional requirement that congress co operate. Dewey a Blitzkrieg Victim One victim of the Hitler blitzkrieg has been young Thomas Dewey, whose chances for the republican presidential nomination seem to have been blasted, despite his convention Strength. His speeches critirizimr the president have been inept and convinced the people maturity demnnderl for the office. Dewey as long ago as last fall, assumed the United Stats could and would he kept out of war and lias cousin! enllv attacked Roosevelt for war mongering. He held a policy of absolute neutrality and rigid isolation would be popular and get mm tne votes, nut the blitzkrieg reversed the popular tide. All of which seems to indicate that, unless the old line politicians are strong enough to name a party hack, that the dark horse, Wendell Willkie. will bo the probable nominee, s new leadership is necessary. A Roosevelt baiter will got nowhere. Willkie is the ablest of the candidates, a successful but liberal utilities executive, whose speeches and career show leadership qualities as well as sound realistic common sense. He favors much of the new deal, is not a politician, has never been a candidate for office, and has alwavs been a democrat. At any rate he has caught, the public fancy, which neither Vandenblirg, Tuft nor other candidates, except Dewey has $nd the latter has lost his halo and partisanship has been The nation needs an experienced executive, not a politician Dor a prosecutor.

Political Refugees Safely Landed Portland, Ore., June 13 (JPt Seven political refugees who sought to remain In Vancouver, Wash., last April, were landed In Japan re cently, ending their fears of meet ing with the Russian secret police. The men three Russians, three Poles and a aerman were crew members of the Vladivostok-bound tramp freighter Penelopl. The freighter was in Vancouver when the men learned It was head ed for the Russian port. Sympa thetic persons sought a court order allowing thein to remain here, but a superior court Judge said he had no Jurisdiction. Before tlie ship sailed, the cap tain promised to release the men In Japan. Margaret Carman of Portland said she had received a letter from the German sailor saying they hnd been released and that the Russians and Poles had Joined their families.

Kelly Says: Warmongers Not Pleased With Plan Uncle Sam Giving Allies His Shirt NLRB Member Not In Sympathy With Defense By John W. Kelly Washington, June 13 Not even sending the allies large quantities from the slender stock of army and navy munitions is satisfying the group who are demanding that the United States declare war on Oer many. This group is becoming bolder and more vocal dally and petitions are on the desk of the president in the White House telling him to Join the fracas. It will require cool heads to keep the United States out. National defense is now in terpreted to include France and England. There are strange goings-on In the national capital. A few weeks ago the president dramatically de clared that our defenses and sup- piles or materials were Inadequate and congress is now appropriating billions to make up for the defi ciency. These materials will not be available for a year or more. Now the president Is making available army and navy planes, rifles and other munitions from our small store. As a result, the United States Is more impoverished In its defense equipment today than when the president made his speech. Warmongers Numerous That delivering our defense ma terial to the allies Is approved by millions of citizens Is a fact; also a fact that other millions do not ap prove. But even this sacrifice of weapons falls short of what the warmongers want. They Insist on American troops participating. Don't forget the advocates of war are numerous and vocal in Washington. Congress was advised a few weeks ago that army and navy to gether had a total of 2700 fighting planes, of which 1128 were obsolete. General Arnold, chief of air corps, said the army has 30O bombers three years old and it Is suicide to fly them. There were 168 light bombers obsolescent and 160 pur suit planes obsolescent out of 460. It Is unknown how many planes have been made available to the allies, but the ships disposed of were the best in the lot. Rifle Census Made On hand the army had six months ago 850,000 Springfield rifles and 1,850,000 Lee-Enfield rifles. It Is expected that at least a million of the latter weapons will go to the allies and most of the old 75 mm guns which have been In storage since the first World war. There has been much talk of the new United States shoulder rifle, the Qerand, a semi-automatic. At the present rate of production the army will have 148,628 by June, 1942. Of these the Winchester Arms company has a contract to provide 65,000 In the next two years, at a cost of $120 a rifle the government ar senals make them for $80 each. Production has not started by the Winchester company as months have been required to make the tools with which to make the rifles. The arsenal at Springfield Is making 100 rifles a day of the Gerand mo del. U. S. Over-Generous The fib is told that the United States Is disposing only of its "sur plus" weapons and planes. The fi gures, taken from congressional hearings, show that no "surplus" exists; there are not enough rifles or planes to meet the necessities of the present personnel. Speaking of material, the United States Is now giving the allies its shirt. This Is Just a matter of keeping the re cord straight. The allies do not need credit; they have a few billion dol lars with which to make purchases and this money will run them a year or so, If the war last that long. Enlistments In the army are not up to expectation, at least In the east. Recruiting stations in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, have been unable to fill their quota. There Is no rush of young men on relief to Join the colors and the re cords fail to disclose that any of the authors, professors and law yers who are demanding that the United States declare, have Joined up. The volunteer spirit is at low ebb. Groups which were busy re cruiting American boys for the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain to fight for democracy" are accus ing Britain and France of starting an "imperialist war."

Plummer en tertained members of the Presby terlan Missionary society at her home Tuesday afternoon when a short business session over which she presided, a program and re freshments were enjoyed. Miss Anne Haugeberg and Mrs, Lloyd Whltten were appointed as mite box captains by the president, Mrs. Plummer. Mrs. R. C. Wilson was in charge of the program and also led devotions. The program included readings on missionary work In the Philippines, West and East Indies by Mrs. E. V. Dalton, Mrs. Conrad Stafrln and Mrs. Don aid Gabbert. Mrs. J. E. Plummer read an article on "Three First Ladies of the Philippines" after which Mrs. Prank Johnson read an article on the Filipino children. Mrs, Gabbert read a letter from Mrs. Florence Van Etten, president of the Missionary in China, and the program concluded with Mrs. Gab bert singing a Swiss song. A charming tea hour was held with the following being present: Mrs. Ed J. Himes, Mrs. Nora Crider, Mrs, Wilson, Mrs. Dalton, Mrs. Staf rln, Mrs. Gabbert, Mrs. Plummer. Mrs. Johnson, Miss Haugeberg and the hostess. thing Important, one of Mr, Roose velt's appointees was throwing a monkey-wrench in the defense program. Edwin S. Smith, member of the National Labor Relations Board, told labor to make no sacri fices to further the national defense program. On the program with Smith was Harold Pritchett, alien labor leader of the Pacific northwest, who re lated the "reign of terror" at Aber deen, Wash., during which the wife of a CIO organizer was killed. This case, by the way, has been under investigation by government agents, but they have yet made no report. Cigars Ten Cents Meanwhile the National Defense Commission has established itself in the white marble palace of the Federal Reserve Board, getting ready to swing into action to pro duce all the war materials the United States requires. Knudsen, who has taken a leave of absence from General Motors, and is charg ed with the actual production of material, received a shock the first day he sat at his desk. He gave a messenger $2 to buy two cigars. The boy returned saying 10 cent cigars were the only ones sold in the (10,000.000 palace. P.S. (mom wants2cartonso Tzl: m&Wirtf- i Bound to be a hit!
