THE HIDDEN MENACE
Eastern Clackamas News
It is quite possible that Presi
dent Harding will strike a snag
in his coming conference on dis
armament. the same as his pre
decessor did with the League of
Nations. The latter, theoreti
cally, was good and sound, but
the world was not ready for it, and
in this country it became involv
ed with other issues which
shelved it from the sphere of
practical politics.
What will nullify all attempts
at disarmament, which would be
worth the name, will be the la
tent distrust which the various
nations have of each other
France will never put any reli
anee on German promises, neither
will Belgium. Unless the U. S.
England and perhaps Italy
agree to stand by her and pro
tect her if she is wantonly attack
ed, France will not consent to
limit her armaments, and with
good reason. She knows ful
well, that the Germans are look
ing forward to another ' ‘tag ”
when they hope to more than
even up old scores. This has
lately been confirmed by a sea
captain, who has just returned
home in Portland from Germany
In an interview to the Telegram,
he stated, the Germans say:
“ We will not be caught as we
were before. We will see that
France doesn’t have the help of
England and America. The next
p ranee, ana tnen see wnat we \vin
do to those boasters.”
This was the talk among the
laborers on the docks, the men
in the truncan, the people one
met in coffee houses and cafes,
the aviators operating airplanes
that run in every direction from
Hamburg,
I was told it in
homes, in hotels and in places
where light wines are sold.
Besides this, the Germans are
keeping their aviators busy op
erating commercial airplanes
t R u t run on rugular schedule a m !
also “ for hire.” New aviators
are trained, and when war comes,
Germany will have thousands
more trained “ haws” than she
had at the close of the W’orld
war,
German manufacturers are also
turning out airplanes in whole
sale lots. While many of these
are used at home for commercial
purposes, large numbers are sold
abroad, Japan buying hundreds
of them.
"Japan is going to go to war
against America,” the Germans
happily declare.
"We do not
know just when, but it will not
be long. That will keep Amer
ica busy, and England will be
involved because Japan is an ally
of England, so if the British do
not help the mikado, the Japs
will run the-English out of the
Orient. If England holds back,
Japan will foster a revolt in In
dia. That is the time we will
march into France and that coun
try will then know the might of
the good German sword.”
As for the German belief that
Japan and America will com# to
war, it is unfortunately, by no
means a remote possibility And
this is sensed at Washington, we
believe, and our representatives
will have to see to it, that - we
disarm only in proportion as Jap
an does. Japan^ is after terri-
ritorv for her surplus population,
and also has ambitions to domi
nate the Orient. If we oppose
her in China, Siberia and else
where where she has a foothold,
it is probable that she will great
ly resent such action, and lay it
up for future reference. The
keenest diplomcy will be required
by our representatives to protect
China and Russia from undue ex
ploitation by Japan, and help
the latter get a quid pro quo for
what she gives up.
As to the question whether,
RETURNING TO NORMAL
Headlines in the newspapers
play up the fact that the cost of
living has increased 4.3 per cent
during the past month.
The chief increase is shown to
have been in potatoes, eggs,
cheese, butter, sugar, oats, rice,
peas, prunes, etc.
The price of luxuries, however,
continued to fall.
Everyone who has followed the
markets, knows that the prices
of the above mentioned staples
which showed a slight increase,
have virtually been down to a
point as low or lower than the
pre-war figure, and they are
merely returning to a more nor
mal basis.
In other words, deflation in the
cost of food necessities of life,
has been complete, and the slight
upward trend is a healthy sign of
a return to normal conditions.
It should not be used as an argu
ment showing an increased cost
of living which necessitates a
maintenance of war wages and
working conditions in certain
lines of industry which have not
yet been deflated.

on Paint Economy
HERE’S one way to save
on paint. That way is to use
the best of paint.
Some think of paint economy
as "cost per gallon.” That i*
wrong. Chrap paint doesn’t
cover as rruwh surface — you
T
need more gallons.
Cheap paint is more difficult
to spread, requires more labor,
so the best paint costs no more
when you’ve put it on the house
than cheap paint does.
More than that, it lasts five
or more years longer, if prop
erly applied, while cheap paint
on the average begins cracking
in twelve months. Good paint
is an ini est mens t hat saves
money by preventing deteriora
tion of the house.

"Cheap” paint is the only
paint that really costs you any
thing.
Don’t allow surfaces to rot-»**
it costs less to paint them.
We’ve made paints for west
ern use for 72 vears. We use
pure PIONEER W H I T E
LEAD, pure linseed oil, zinc
and color, but we mix them in
scientific proportions with long
time skill.
Our white lead base must be
fine enough to pass through a
silk screen with 40,000 meshes
to the square inch. That means
covering capacity and ease of
spreading. We super-purify the
lead fo make it "whiter,” which
means clear-toned colors.
The finished product on the
house is a beautiful, elastic
tough protective coating.
