"Much Ado About Nothing
I til3 present battle within the League of Nations, ean best
be described as "Much Ado About Nothing."
The small nations favor a resolution condemning Japan, and
refusing to recognize Manchuoguo, the puppet state set up by
that country in Manchuria. -
The larger nations, Great Britain, France,' Germany and
Italy, oppose such action on the ground it would antagonize
an already belligerent .In pen and disrupt all efforts toward
conciliation. '
THE smaller nations have the best of the argument. Japan
has openly flaunted the league, defied its authority, violat
ed its basic principles. For the league to adopt a conciliatory
attitude toward Japan, would be akin to the Supreme Court
adopting a conciliatory attitude toward a litigant who refused
to abide by its decisions.
But as a matter of fact, the issue involved is purely an
academie one. It makes no practical difference, whether the
resolution prevails or doesn't prevail.
If it prevails, if the League goes on record against Japan,
the Japanese course will not be changed in the slightest. If it
doesn't prevail, Japan will continue its war against China,
oontinue its consolidation of its Far East positions, precisely as
if the reverse policy had been adopted.
So, we repeat the battle is "Much ado about nothing." It
is merely added evidence that the League of Nations, as an
effective agency in world affairs is dead; and for the sake of
publio decency should with appropriate ceremonies, be buried.
Who Killed Cock Robin?
WHO killed the League of Nations? Europe blitmes it on
America. America blames it on Europe.
Europe haa the best of this argument. For if the United
States had entered the League of Nations at the OUTSET, and
thrown the influence of the most powerful nation in the world,
behind international cooperation, undoubtedly the league would
be a power for peace and human betterment today, instead of a
broken reed, a pathetic, monument of disillusionment and
world frustration.
But Europe can't justly put all the blame on Uncle Sam,
or for that matter the major portion.
The main trouble with the league at least as we see it is
that it was never properly organized, it was content to soar
about in the clouds of impractical idealism, Fnd steadfastly re
fused to come down to earth.
This fatal weakness might best, be demonstrated by com
paring the league again with the Supreme Court.
What happens if a litigant refuses to accept the decision of
the supreme court, state or national. The litigant is promptly
FORCED to accept that decision. If the sheriff can't do the
job, single handed he calls on his deputies; if they can't do it,
the police and national guard are called in ; if they in turn fail,
then the regular army marches in.
Because everyone knows this overwhelming force CAN be
used, it almost never 13 used. Individuals seldom defy the de
cisions of the supreme court, or of any court for that matter.
Thoy know they are beaten before they start.
Well, as it is with individuals, so it is with nations, which
are merely collections of individuals,
If the League of Nations had a similar force behind it, Japan
would have followed the league 'a first order to get out of Man
churia, before the ink had had a chance to dry, on the official
dooree. One wouldn't have been able to see that army's retreat
booause of the dust.
e e e e f
DUT what does Japan eare for league resolutions, which are
not backed up by force t What would any individual care
for decisions of any court, which were against his self interest,
if he knew nothing would be done about it except perhaps to
pass another resolution. He would tweek bis nose and go on
his lawless way rejoicing.
So until the nations of the world arc willing to give up
for INTERNATIONAL peace, what the individuals of those
nations have been willing to give up for INTERNAL peace,
the League of Nations will remain what it is today, nothing
more than a sort of glorified debating society.
Put teeth in the league, put force behind it or forget
about it and let it go the way of all flesh. TITER E IS NO
OTHER WAT. '
What Price Peace?
TTlLLi this ever be done ! Undoubtedly. But not this year
" or next. Probably not in the life time of the present
generation..
Whyt Because individuals in the mass have not yet attained
that intelligence and enlightened self interest that individuals
alone HAVE attained.
For the sake of maintaining lnw and order, for example, the
individual oitizen of this country gladly yields to a superior
authority backed by a superior force. He realizes the only alter
native to that is chaos and destruction.
But individuals in the mass nations that is don't see
things that way as yet. They put nationalism above interna
tionalism, just as in pioneer days the outlaw put what he
wanted INDIVIDUALISM above the community good.
e
IT'S really a very old story. One that goes back to the very
dawn of civilization.
In a nutshell it is thisi
Individuals of the world have become civilized as individuals,
but NOT as nations. Nations are still outlaws they talk about
international law but as a matter of actual fact there is no such
thing and being no such thing there is no international order,
either
Wa have leagues and we have treaties and we have Kellogg
pacts, but when a nation wants something, as Japan does today,
as Germany did in 3914, that nation proceeds to go out and
get it.
We can not call ourselves civilized as nations, until we pro
vide an international police force that will prevent any nation
doing that in other words sanctioning s world organization
that will prevent war instead of constantly inviting it.

GALLSTONE COLIC CAN HAPPEN, BIT SHOULDN'T
For ones I concede at the outset
that the malady we are discussing Is
real and not just an Illusion. Un
tutored laymen
may be able to
follow and even
understand what
we are aay 1 ng
now.
The p a 1 n of
gallstone colic Is
no by-the - way
Doctor -1 - aeem-to-
f eel-cons tan t
dlscomfort - rlgnt
under - my - ribs
matter. It Is a
rip-roaring, goahamighty hurry up
and gimme something agony.
I fear I am a moral coward about
Buffering. Don't like It at all. Prom
all I hear of fortitude and sweet
resignation and the will of some
supernatural or malign power, I
gather that It la pleasure for aome
persona to endure pain or suffering.
I neither like pain or suffering my
self nor deem it a mark of divine
favor In others.
Prom a diabolic point of view, pain
may be regarded as the punishment
due to sin, but this fine medieval
conception Immediately brings Into
question the character of a lot of the
pious who are frail or poor in health.
Come to that, what Is pain? This
question occurred to me for the first
time when I had appendicitis. Kept
assuring myself there Tvas no pain,
but what a tremendous tension! I've
often wondered slnoe If that was pain
and whether gallstone colic Is a hos
pital alne of the same thing, appendi
citis being a trial size or free sample.
I know that when biliary colic does
occur It la attended with the charac
teristic signs or symptoms of ahock.
Juat as though the patient hod suf
fered a severe injury. - The attack be
gins with abrupt distress Just under
the right ribe or in the pit of the
stomach (tip of breastbone) and soon
the pain extends to the lower adbo
men or up toward the right shoul
der. The shock produces cold, clam
my sweat, pallor, weakness of pulse,
and perhaps a chill. Like any severe
pain, even severe headache, biliary
colic Is likely to cause nausea and
vomiting.
Here It la mcwaary to repeat that
it la of no significance whether bile
appears in the material vomited. If
the main bile duct la not completely
obstructed, bile la bound to appear of
the vomiting la repeated. In most
cases of gallstone the main duct Is
not obstructed.
The victim may feel distress In the
region of the heart. Many aufferers
from gallstones, with or without colic,
blame "heart attacks" or "gas at
tacks" for th effects of their un
diagnosed gallstones.
Editorial Comment
What Makes Oregon?
It is amazing that Oregon people
don't eat morevof their own home
grown fruit I
Take Rogue River or Hood River
winter pears. At this time and from
now on until late spring is the sea
son when their delicious qualities
are available for any dining table.
But you scarcely ever find them
on hotel or restaurant menus. Yet,
If you ask for a fruit cocktail, al
most always it will be made up of
pineapple, grapefruit and other
California fruits. And If you call
for a fruit salad, almost always the
same result will follow. It results
In the Importation of nearly 4000
carloads of California fruits a year
and In the shipment to distant
markets and far-away consumers of
our own home-grown fruits.
It is an astounding situation, in
view of the delicacy and excellence
of Oregon pears. A peeled and
sliced winter Rogue River pear with
a little augar and light cream, or a
baked winter pear from Hood River
or the Medford district, la a delic
ious, palatable and, above all, a
most healthful food. Their vitamin
content and their antl-acldosta prop
erties are among their virtues.
Even after au montha or more of
storage, pears from Rogue River,
inder teat at the University of Ore
gon Medical school, ahowed us much
or more vitamin A content than any
of the following foods: Bacon, dried
Lima beans, beets, commercial
bread mixed, sauerkraut, cereals,
bleached celery, lean fish, lemons,
average muscle meat, mushrooms,
onions, peaches, raisins, turnips.
And In vitamin C there is a like
result, according to the earns scien
tific teat. Rogue River winter pears
showed a vitamin C content as good
or better than .-aw apples, canned
beets, fresh beets, raw carrots, cel
ery, cereal, canned corn, eggs, egg
plant, eacarole, fats, grapes, legumes,
lettuce, meats, milk, oils, onions,
white potatoes, sweet potatoes.
Vitamin A Is aald by science to
be tho body's beat defender against
disease. With all these virtues, and
along with them a delicacy of taste
and an appeal to the palate equal
to any known fruit, why are not
Oregon-grown winter pears eaten by
Oregon people?

ARTHUR PVTNAM. SCULPTOR
A few days ago there was open -Ml
at flan Francisco, In th California
Palace of the Leg ton of Honor, a
ahrlne to the memory of Arthur Put
nam, American sculptor.
The news dispatches tell that hun
dreds cams to stsrM before sculp
tured figures of animals and of men
and women, their admiration renewed
by the amazingly lifelike quality of
Putnam'a work.
Coincident with the opening of the
ahrlna appeared a book. It is called
"Avlhur Putnam, Sculptor." The
writer la Julie Helen Hey ne man, ar
tist, to whom, in August, lftH. at her
studio In San Francisco, a visitor was
anounoed. He pushed aside the cur
tains. "He crowrd the room w:lh
thai hslf -diffident, half-defiant air
A f
A bout of oollo laata from a few
hours to eeveral days, depending on
the altuatlon of the atone and its
size, etc., for presumably the colic
occurs only when a stone enters the
bile duct, and aease when the atone
la squeezed back Into the gallaac, tr
possibly (a very small atone) when It
haa passed through the duct and out
Into the intestine.
The day following colic some Jaun
dice may appear, this, too. depending
on the altuatlon of the stone and the
duration of blocking of the bile flow.
In more than half of the cases no
Jaundice la noted after the colic.
Among the first aid measurse for
icollc are the full hot bath, full hot
pack, or any form of heat, preferably
moist heat, applied owr the right
upper quadrant of the abdomen and
lower chest.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Vaccination.
Kindly write briefly what you think
of vaccination and what we can do to
change this allly law. In our com
munity there Is a law which la aup
posed to compel school children to be
vaccinated every mven yeara . . .
Mrs. A. H. L.
Answer. I'd want my own chil
dren vaccinated In any circumstances.
I think the state should "provide vac
cination free for all who are unable
to pay, but there is neither scien
tific nor moral Justification for any
compulsory vaccination, least of all
for trick l;gIlatlon which gives school
board or health board politicians the
chance to persecute or punish par
ents who do nor wish to vaccinate
their children. There Is no reason
to Imagine the protection conferred
by vaccination lasts "seven years" or
any definite time; in some cases It
is probably sufficient to protect for
life: In other cases the Immunity
wears out In a y?ar or two.
Old Fogies Dislike New Methods.
Many, many thanks for your kind
advice. My son had his tonsils re
moved by electro-coagulation or dia
thermy and we are all so happy about
It. t never would have had the con
fidence to have the operation and we
would have known nothing about this
wonderful new method but for your,
talks. Our family physician discour
aged it, proclaiming the surgical way
the only effective way . . . but now
he has Installed a diathermy machine
and trying to use the new method
himself. Mrs. A. P. L.
Answer So you can sometimes
teach an old dog new tricks, what?
Now if the family doctor Is wise
enough to go and learn the technic
of diathermy from a physician who
is master of it, his patients will be
In luck. Too often tyros attempt to
apply the method without clinical
Instruction, and fall dismally.
(Copyright, John P. Dllle Co.)
that I was to know ao well, and
growled out, 'D'you give drawing lea
sons here?' "
This was Putnam, shaggy, tall, wild
looking, past 20, looking 17, whoae
life had been a rebellion agalnit
school, against .the orderly and con
ventional, and who now wanted les
sons. Partly to be rid of him, partly to
"make him understand that more was
required even of Journalistic art than
crude Imitations of Remington." Miss
Heyneman gavw the youth a piece of
charcoal, placed him before an easel
and a piece of charcoal paper, and
asked him to make her a drawing of
Dlacobulus. Almost before she had
crossed the floor ahe heard his "Hullo!
Sny: I've done it."
And he had. With force, with sim
plicity, with the quality of genius,
he had drawn the figure.
That was the beginning of the re
lation of student and teacher and
artist-friend that was to continue
until Arthur Putnam's life of art
reached Its tragic end 20 years be
fore life reluctantly left his tortur
ed body.
If there la such a thing as sculp
turing a human figure by means of
a book. Miss Heyneman has done It.
As his work dared to embody the
primitive savagery and ferocity of the
puma, the tiger and the caveman,
yet did soften in the somber reflec
tion of "Twilight." ao her work pre
sents Arthur Putnam as though ahe
had worked with the clay, the marble
and the bronze of his character, the
grasp rough and strong as the ma
terials would necessitate, yet gentle
where the final touches are.
So the reader sees, with Julie Hey
neman's help, a career disdainful of
comfort and grace, of precedent and
pelf, but ao Intensely sensitive to life
that he lived In the torture of effort
to expresa it- Without anylng it in
ao many words, hers will be found
reasons why a truly artistic person
seems often to sacrifice all the softer
th Intra yet has no sense of sacrifice
and If luxury and ease and indulg
ence are accepted art Is gone.
Brain pressure and paralysis that
made the left of the two modeling
hands hang helpteu Incapacitated
Arthur Putnam after he had had but
a few yeara of his best work. But
the work that he did will live, and
the understanding of him will also
live, becaust of the book.
Miss Heyneman devoted to "Arthur
Putnam. Sculptor." a full year of ef
fort. A bequvM of the late- James D.
Phelan made the book po&Mbte and
the copies are limited which is as
should be.
The ahrlne and the book, the sculp
tured figures and the nwmory of a
profanely reverent soul, are alike ap
pealing here, not only because of the
recognition of an artist, not only
because Arthur Putnam was during
hla life a frequent visitor to Med
ford. Oregon, but because hi brother
Ocorpe Is a well known Oregon fig
ure and. as publisher of the Capital
Journal at Salem, expreses in news
paper production some of the traita
of Arthur. Oregon Journal.

Favors Barnes Sales Tax
To the Editor:
I wish to speak in behalf of Mr.
J. C. Barnes sales tax with shelter
exemptions. To my mind there is
no reason why the state of Oregon
ahould not adopt this plan. It la
practical, humane and Christian. Any
patriotic citizen ahould lend .his
support to anything that will stand
auch a teat.
Sales tax Is practical In that it
is at present in use indirectly only
we do not realize the fact unless
we "stop, look and listen." Where
do the railroads get the money to
pay their presidents, their taxes, etc.?
Apologists brush aside all but cap
ital offensea in behalf of big cor
porations because their tax receipts
are written in big figures. Yet those
who buy foot the bill in a round
about way in the form of a aalea
tax. If you doubt this theory ask
your home merchant if he does not
reckon with his property tax when
arranging the prices on the goods ho
sells, i
The shelter exemption may be lik
ened to the milk In the pall of hu
man kindness. For the man that
is down or falling we simply refrain
from giving him a kick in the ribs.
Some per.haps will scream "class dis
tinction"; that phrase Is Irrelevant,
immaterial and has Ho bearing on
the case. Have we not -learned that
the good of one has its reflection
In the well being of others?
Under this ayatem there are two
things that are Impractical; you can
not "sock the rich." They own In
dustry and their Incentive is to be
great by making money. If you
Interfere with that in any degree
you materially Impede Industry and
we find ourselves .holding the sack
In the form of unemployment and
unmarketable products. Neither can
we pauperize the man at the lower
level lest It fly back In our facs In
the form of objects of charity or
subjects of correctional Institutions.
You deny a human even cheap food,
cheap shelter and cheap clothes and
you have a beast to be reckoned
with.
There are home owners who are
obliged to scrimp themselves on aim
pie articles of food and proper cloth
ing to enable tftem to pay their
taxes and high interest on the roof
over their heads. It therefore re
mains for us of the middle strata
to do our stuff. If we do not like
it we hava two alternatives. We
can go either up or down or change
the ayatem to a scientific one.
To the undersigned this is in
evitable in the not far distant fut
ure. In the meantime as many atepa
as we can take in the right direct.
tlon wilt make the going easier when
we come to the parting of the ways.
Old age pensions, unemployment
Insurance, sales tax will be used
then. They will help us now. Let's
work for them and make this what
we kid ourselves Into believing
"this is a great country."
Rogue River valley should be proud
that they have a man of Mr. Barnes
principle and ability to lend so much
effort to the Improvement of our
antiquated system of taxation. I
wish to urge everyone to give It
serious consideration. I would like
very much to see Mr. Barnes sent
as a delegate to this coming legis
lature to coop rats with our repre
sentatives at Salem In the hope of
having this enacted into law.

gressmen in here March 4 who never
had shoes on. In all great landslides
you pick up a lot of crumbs.
The boys are already talking about
a scandal concerning one new mem
ber. They have evidence from his di
vorce case charging him with boot
legging. His wife, in her complaint,
gave the address of his speakeasies.
He will do a big business if these
addresses are ever spread in the Con
gressional Record. They probably will
be.
CUTS The current Inside mystery
at the White House Is: Who let out
the news that 20 employees were or
dered to take an additional furlough
pay cut?
The employees were examined pri
vately by Press Secretary Joslln In an
effort to extort a confession. A 75-year-old
clerk was the particular ob
ject of suspicion. As usual they got
the wrong man. Nothing was proved
against anyone.
The whole thing was a serio-comic
triviality. No one could slice the
pay of 29 persona In Washington
without having it get out. Further
more the White House was not re
sponsible. Congress failed to appro
priate enough money to pay the sala
ries for the remainder of the fiscal
year. The 3 '4 day additional furlough
waa necessary under the law.
MELLONS Private banking circles
are hearing whispers about the Mel
Ions. It has to do with the recent
failure of three Pittsburg banks. Some
of the boys apparently thought the
Mellons ahould have rescued their
competitors who were In trouble.
That Is Just a rehash of what hap
pened a year ago. R. B. Mellon fa
vored a rescue act for local banks
then falling. Ambassador Andrew la
supposed to have stopped him on the
ground that once you start that thing
you can never stop.
The failures have materially
strengthened the position of the Mel
lon banks.
OERMANY The appointment of
Schleicher as chancellor made all Ger
mans unanimous, but the common
denominator la deep apprehension as
to where the axe will strike.
Hitlerites know he will keep them
from power. Nationalists believe he
will atop the pampering of the East
Prussian gentry. Peoples' party and
Democrats are familiar with hla cool
attitude toward big business. Catho
lic Center party sees In htm a zealous
Protestant determined to check their
Influence in church and state. So
cialists are afraid that he will use
the first minor strike as a pretext for
smashing the trade unions. Com
munists have no lltustons about
Schleicher's pet scheme to dissolve
their party.
NOTES There Is no doubt here
that MacDonald himself wrote the
last British note personslly. . . From
his viewpoint he did a beautiful Job.
. . He wrote rings around Stlmaon,
whose previous nots was likewise
roundly applauded as a good techni
cal Job. . . The trana-Atlantlc cable
companies were the only ones who
gained by the American-British note
exchange. . . They made enough to
pay a fair sired Installment on the
debt. . , Garner's original repeal reso
lution waa exactly in the form ap
proved by the allied wet forces. . .
Thcsr around Roosevelt say he may
turn the world economic conference
to Washington after March 4.
SWEDE REPUBLIC
E
JUHLEEOF KING
Gustav Celebrates 25th An
niversary of Reign With
Popularity Undiminished
Serves Like President
Bv Elmer W. Peterson
STOCKHOLM (AP) Working on
governmental problems witn a new
social-democrat administration which
theoretically at least, would like to
have Sweden a republic, King Oust&f
V today celebrates the 25th anniver
sary of his reign with his popularity
undiminished.
It Is not unlikely that the left wing
of the riksdag will this year, as It
has done before. Introduce a resolu
tion to change Sweden to a republic.
It la more than likely, as has hap
pened before, that the resolution will
be voted down and that with the aid
of the social democrats.
King's Personality Counts
In the continuance of tbs para
doxical situation. King Gustaf has
unconsciously played a dominant role.
His personal popularity, hla entire
accord with changing political trends,
and hla valuable services to his coun
try, have given Sweden little reason
to dispense with Its royal family.
The human side of the king has
helped to establish this feeling. The
Swedes like to boast of his agility
on the tennis court where he figures
in tournaments on the Riviera as
"Mr. G." They like to see him ride
by on parade, sitting as erect as the
youngest officer. They appreciate
his prowess as a fisherman and a
hunter and his skill at ridge.
Royal Power Limited
In the constitutional government
which Sweden enjoys the king is
neither figurehead nor dictator. In
the exercise of authority he works
with, and Is limited by. his cabinet.
Conduct of foreign policy is consti
tutionally In his hands but the riks
dag exsrclses an effective control
over It. He may declare war or con
clude peace, but only after consulting
the cabinet.
King Gustaf Is, In effect "regu
lator" in what can be termed a demo
cratic monarchy. He serves much as
a permanent president would serve
in a modern republic, as a balance
wheel removed from politics, as a per
sonality representing the Idea of the
Swedish state.
His reign has been both peaceful
and troubled. When he ascended the
throne on December 8, 1007, the
union between Sweden and Norway
had Just been ended, creating a lively
political situation. Two years later
Sweden experienced a general strike
which threatened to develop into a
revolution.
During the world war with Sweden
pressed hard in the matter of neu
trality and with some disagreement
on the subject In the country. King
Gustaf made good use of his calm
patience.
His reign has been characterized by
political democratization, by exten
sion of the franchise to women, by
the up movement of social democrats
and left wing groups, by marked so
cial reforms, tremendous industriali
zation and modernization along all
lines, and a radical change In the
whole International situation in nor
thern Europe.
Jenkins' Comment
(Oontinuea from Page On
IN good times, we tax ourselves
rtaeertully In order to provide ad
ditional services of government that
we want or think we want In
BAD times, we oomplaln bitterly at
the taxes we have levied on our
selves while times were good.
Inconsistent? Not at all. Con
ditions are Just different.
Taxes are easy to pay In good
time and hard to pay In bad time.
TJOB example: ' '
Back In the easy days before
1939, a certain resident of Southern
Oregon had an Income of about 16,
000 a year. The tax on his prop
erty amounted to around 12500.
He was sitting pretty and tuxes
didn't bother him. Why should h
worry when somebody proooeed a
new bond Issue?
OUT listen to 'this;
u In 1933. this man's Income will
be around 7,000, but .his property
tax will be approximately 04200.
That Is to say, back In the good
year hi property tax amounted to
about IS per cent of his Income, but
this yesr It will amount to BIXTT
per cent.
His Income, you tee, ha fallen
off, but his property tax ha IN
CREASED. His tax Is increased In
bad times because of the readiness
with which new taxes were voted
back In GOOD time.
