The Truth About Russia
I IKE George Bernard Shaw,
and a Liberal. Also like the great Irish dramatist and
critic, he has always been greatly interested in, and sympathetic
with, the Russian Soviet government.
. But unlike George Bernard Shaw, Will Durant, visited Soviet
Russia, not as a guest of the Soviet government, but as an
independent tourist. In this last week'i Saturday Evening
Post, Mr. Durant gives his
government.
In sharp contrast with George Bernard Shaw, who was
delighted and enthused by bis sojourn in Russia, Mr. Durant
was depressed and completely
suffering, want, misery and degredation of that country greater
than anywhere in the world,
He found the Russian masses,
pitiless, cruel and brutal than ever existed during the darkest
days of Czardom. He found there was neither free speech nor
a free press, he found that, except in higher Soviet circles, there
was neither comfort nor contentment. lie is convinced the Rus
sian masses would overthrow Stalin tomorrow, were it not for
the fact that with the army and the police under the dictattor's
control, they are utterly powerless.
A more poignant picture of human suffering, material and
moral degradation, a literal "hell on earth" could not be
imagined, than that drawn by this intelligent and liberal minded
American philosopher who entered Russia not as a hostile critic,
but as a sympathetic friend.
' 'iiE article published in the current issue, is the first of a
series. Unless we are greatly mistaken, these articles will
forever destroy any enthusiasm lor Soviet Russia in this country,
or any illusions regarding the true nature of this "noble political
experiment" which has been bo ruthlessly carried on, in that
unhappy country, for the past twelve or fourteen years.
Not only has communism failed, it has inflicted upon the
largest nation in the western world, the greatest suffering and
misery, that has been reached under any form of government
since the middle ages.
ft AD these articles been written by a reactionary critic, or
A 1 come from the pen of a capitalistic propogandist, they might
well be discounted taken with a grain of salt. But coming from
Will Durant, himself a critic of our modern materialistic civili
zation, after a personal investigation extending over several
months, the indictment they present is simply devastating, and
every salient fact has the convincing ring of truth.
In literary Bkill and scholarship, George Bernard Shaw is
undoubtedly the superior of Will Durant. But to any fair
minded person who read Mr. Shaw's impressions of Soviet
Russia,- as an honored guest; and now reads Mr. Durant's
impressions, as a free lance tourist, it is perfeotly obvious, that
the brilliant Irish genius was . duped, and the American
philosopher was not.
The Home Loan Bank Bill
PIE Mail Tribune has received so many inquiries regarding
the federal home loan bank bill what it will mean to
Southern Orogon that we are glad to offer the opinion of a
well known resident of the state, an influential figure in the
lumber industry, but in no way
and loan association.
Mr. Crow is editor of Crows
and in a reoent issue of the Portland Spectator present his
views on this important measure in part as follows:
"The first benefit, I think, will be an immediate
supply of mortgage monoy, such benefit will reach the
home owner and also the man who needs a job.
"A second result will be a remedy for the old feast
and famine situation in the home loan field. This will
not be a porfoct remedy any' more than the Federal
Reserve bank has made commercial bank loans always
available. It will however help to alleviate the present
situation, by allowing a freer interchange of funds among
the banks.
"A third benefit will be a gradual reduction in interest
rates, as a result of equalizing the money supply. At the
present time we in the West pay too much for our home
loan money. We do not look for an immediate lowering
of rates, for interest rates are higher here than in the
East and Middlewest, but the tendency will be downward
and the coast will benefit thereby.
"A fourth and possibly the most important result
will be a justifiably increased confidence on the part of
the public in savings and loan associations aa a means
of investment It is to be expected that membership in
the home loan bank will be more a mark of honor, worthy
of publio confidence. This means a great deal to the
public.
"Finally let's keep the home loan bank out of politics,
keep it out of the direct home loan business, and make
it a strong factor in our eoonomio structure by keeping it
super-safe."

lady mentions
some other things I have taught
here, that she believes correct. But
she aaya I am a little obdurate about
the question of taking cold.
It doea not hurt her, so far u
aha knows. If aha gets her feet wet
on the way to th office and they
remain wet till they dry gradually.
But atlU I am unreasonable when I
demand positive proof that ordinary
exposure to cold or wet will cause
Illness. Now ahe goea with bare arms
much of the time, yet sometimes
If she feels cold upon the arms she
begins to sneeze or cough right away,
and then if ahe puts on a sweater
or other cover to protect the exposed
arms, ahe stops sneezing or coughing
Immediately.
Again, ahe sometimes begins to
sneeze or cough while attending some
concert or other gathering, but If
she quickly holds her handkerchief
to her throat, which seems to be a
little chilled, arte stops coughing at
once, whereas otherwise ahe would
keep on a good deal.
To clinch the argument, she knows
a lady who says getting her feet wet
Invariably makes her take cold. This
Infallible person has some trouble
with her throat . . .
With all patlenoe and equanimity
let me Interpose an obdurate No, no,

Illness you can name.
Notwithstanding the teachings of
quacks, no honest or intelligent phy

Communications
Love Versus Force.
To the Editor:
In your recent editorial entitled,
"Who Killed Cock Robin?" lack of
force la suggested aa the answer.
Force was not defined, but the trend
of the article pointed clearly to armed
force or physical force as a solution
to the present dilemma into which
the League of Nations finds Itself so
awkwardly plunged. It was vigor
ously maintained that this armed
force is essential if the League Is to
become a practical Institution for in
ternational peace and prosperity and
pleasant prospects of future happi
ness. In other words, ws must hold this
armed force as a threat to any vio
lator and In case of violation, such
as Japan committed, all members of
the League would be pledged to stop
the aggressor by military force, thus
plunging the world Into a war to
stop war.
That philosophy seems to the writer
like the professed prohibitionist who
tried to make tbe country dry by
drinking aa much liquor aa he could,
thinking thereby, to do his bit toward
disposing of the supply. In other
words, we would end war by using
up all our ammunition.
The writer la In favor of force
but not military or armed force. There
la a force more powerful, more ef
fective and more permanent In Its
results. That force la LOVB.
Love la the motive power behind
all right action. Love Is the only
force which will effectively prevent
war, end crime or bring back the full
dinner pail. History proves this re
peatedly. And yet we still have peo
ple advocating more physical force,
more military force with which to
scare individuals and nations Into
pacific settlement of personal and
International differences.
Mr. Editor, have you lost faith In
your profession? Your profession
rightfully asserts "That the pen la
mightier than the eword,' which
simply means that Intelligence Is a
greater force than is physical strength.
International peace cannot be per
manently attained without Interna
tional love. International love can
only be attained by enlisting the IN
TELLIGENT EDITORS, who wield that
mighty weapon, the pen. to "fight the
GOOD fight with all their might.

Ben Is Back
I am dieting faithfully and getting
better, but I'd like to get away from
insulin Just as soon aa possible as I
have been told a person who takes
It can live only (a number of)
years . , , (B. J.)
An&wer Many diabetes patient do
recover sufficient carbohydrate tol
erance under Insulin treatment to
make It possible for them to get
along quite well for long perloda
without any Insulin. But only your
physician should advise about that.
Month Wash
Kindly give me a formula for an
effective mouth wash to be used in
the morning. (6. L.)
Answer For what purpose? For
clearing a furred tongue and dark
brown taste, mixture of equal parts
of water, lemon Juice and glycerin la
good. If you have pyorrhea I sug
gest as a mouthwash a solution of
five drops of tincture of lodtn rn a
half glassful of water. If there la
anything like trench mouth (Vin
cent's angina) a solution of a tea
spoonful of sodium perborate In a
half pint of water Is a good mouth
wash. As a simple antiseptic mouth
wash nothing is better than a solu
tion of a heaping teaspoonful of
boiio acid In the pint of water. For
persons trying to break the tooth
brushing habit and obsessed with a
feeling that the mouth la not clean,
no mouthwash, but rather eat an

will discuss the dealers' point of
view on the subject, and George A.
Andrews of Bell view, will discuss the
producers' stand.
Two special committee reports are
to be heard. One on sponsoring a
bill for the coming session of the
legislature, to take the tax burden
off the dairyman, and the other
committee report Is to discuss the
prospects of building a co-operative
creamery.
If time permits discussion will in
clude why creameries of Klamath
Falls pay from one to two cents
less per pound for butterfat to the
dairyman, than creameries of Med
ford and Grants Pass. Also why
creameries of Crescent City pay
from one to two cents more thsn
creameries of Medford and Grants
Pass, and why the "big five" cream
eries of the two counties are In an
alleged agreement to protect their
profit so they cannot be skinned
by the poor dairyman. Also why
the poor dairyman haa not got
brains enough to do likewise.
Now brother dairyman, you ahould
take enough Interest to come out
and back up an organization that
Is trying to help you to stay afloat.
Instead of staying home and tot the
independent boya cries let you sink
still deeper. Or in other words If
you have not Interest enough- in
your own business to try and better
ynur condition, why try and make
the rest of us who py our taxes
sink with you? It's the hustler that
makes a go of It and does not de

your product in the United States
and take your pay to DOLLARS.
Then you take these dollars, which
are backed by gold, and with them
you buy the money of your own
country, getting an abnormal amount
of It with your good American dol
lars, and with this depreciated money
you turn around and pay your labor
and buy your raw materials, thus
greatly cutting your costs. -
TAKE England, as' an example:
When England was on the gold
standard, you .bought ONE Brltlab
pound with approximately $4.85 of
American money. Now, with your
$4.8ft of American money, you buy
nearly ONE AND ONE-HALF pounds.
That, you see, cuts British costs
nearly one-third In terras of compe
tition with American Industry. And
so It goes with other oountrles whose
money Is depreciated. This. reduc
tion of cost enables these countries
to pay the American tariff duty and
still get Into our markets at a price
that we cant meet.
THIS situation Is 'bad enough. But
ff we were to get big-hearted
again, as we did during the war, and
throw down our tariff walls ENTIRE
LY, we would be In a pretty fix.
Then these depreciated money coun
tries would take ALL our markets
away from us.
No, thank you. If we're wise, well
keep all the tariff protection we now
have, to aay the least, and If we're
as wise ss we should be well RAISE
our tariff walls enough higher to
offset depreciated currencies. .
We've had experience enough with
being big-hearted. Let's look out
for Number One now for a while.

SPENCER OPENING ,
INSURANCE AGENCY
Clinton Spencer, formerly president '
of the Cbas. Wing Insurance agency,
has again embarked In the insur
ance business In Medford. announo
lng his appointment as local agent
for the General Insurance Company
of America and the General Casualty
Company of America. Both com
panies are members of the General
America group. Home office of these
companies Is In Seattle, and they
are owned exclusively by western
business men.
The board of directors of these
companies reads like a "Who's Who"
of Northwest business and financial
leaders. The chairman la O. D.
Fisher, president of the Fisher Flour
ing Mills company, and the presi
dent Is H, K. Dent, recognized as
one of the outstanding Insurance
executives of America. Oregon Is
represented on the board by such
leaders as J. O. Alnsworth, chair
man of the board, U. 3. National r
bank, Portland; Harry T. Nicole!,
president of the Nlcolal Door Man
ufacturing company, Portland, and
Robert H. Strong, capitalist, Port
land. The General Insurance company
was organized by President Dent and
associates In 1023 as an Independent,
preferred-risk company, successfully
operated right from the start, and
Its operations In Oregon, where it
has consistently returned to policy
holders, a substantial share of prem
iums collected In the form of cash
dividends, has been the direct cause
of a reduction In Insurance rates,
estimated at approximately one mil
lion dollars per year since 1928.
Mr. Spencer states that the Gen
eral's whole plan of operation Is
based on sssumptlon that rates as
promulgated by the official rate
making body of thia state, which
in turn Is controlled by the "board
companies, are not "fair and equit
able:" that those rates are averaged,
so that the better class risks help
carry the load of the more hazard
ous classifications. That the plan
of the General Is sound and prac
tical seems to be demonstrated by.
the fact that this vigorous western
company has made the most out
standing growth in the entire In
surance history of the United States.
Mr. Spencer states further that
when the General was but five years
old It wrote more premiums in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho than
any other company in the territory,
passing all competitors, many of
whom had operated In this field
more than fifty years. The General
haa held that leading position for
the psst five years.
Mr. Spencer has had twelve yean
experience In the Insurance busi
ness, and announces that he Is pre
pared to Issue and service every
form of Insurance, contract and
surety and fidelity bonds.
