For if he is, the entire prospect for world peace and human betterment is transformed with the coming of the new year. Certainly this sorely tried world could have no better Christmas present. TN HIS radio speech at the commemoration of the 77th birth- day anniversary of Woodrow Wilson last night, the Presi dent acquiesced in the American refusal to join the League of Nations, but in reality adopted the essential principle of that league, and its idealism. That essential principle i a world organization devoted to world peace not implemented to secure it, through force, but through moral suasion and common agreement, supported by worjd opinion. Its idealism rests upon the assumption that President Wil son made, and President Roosevelt now accepts, that the danger to world peace lies not in the world populations, but in the political leaders of that population. . IN other words, President Roosevelt believes that the people the rank and file, of ALLj nations, want peace and do not want war. He believes that the present dangers of war, are due to the leaders, the politicians in control of the various gov ernments, who fail to represent publie opinion, and are secretly and maliciously working for war, contrary to the desire of their constituents. This was President Wilson's idea. It was the corner-stone of his slogan, a war to end war, "to make the world safe for democracy." He believed, for example, that if the autocracy of the kaiser were overthrown and the people of Germany were given a republic, not only would the people of Germany demand peace, but insist upon its permanence. Roosevelt expresses a similar idea when after condemning contemporary political leadership, he declares: "Men and women they serve are o far In advance of that type or leadership that we could get a world accord on peace Immedi ately If the people of the world spoke for thenuelvea." Could wef That is the all important question. Would the people of Germany today for example, if they could speak for themselves, overthrow Hitler, abandon all hope of a union of the German speaking people in Central Europe, unprotcstingly conform to the provisions of the treaty of Versailles, and forget Eithpr nifln milKt. ppnwp io ha AsKontiallv o VlflllTTYn AVT.

The emphasis upon "hard-headed practical survey," and "throughout the world" is ours. For certainly those two items are of supreme importance. In other words, as far as President Roosevelt is concerned, the thought has not been aired by the wish. In making this plea for a Now Deal in world peace, he has not allowed a I theoretical idealism, to run away with his sound judgment.

IMONKMt I'HIVALHY MOUNTS (Pendleton East Oregon lan) Umatilla Several of our young Indies and genta observed the comet at a very early hour one morning last week, but while bo doing the "Umatilla Owl" was ob serving them and reported them In dlahabllle In his observations which were published In the Washlngtonlon, Walla Walla, which, of course, made the fair ohes feel quite Indignant over his owlish fabrications. As an eye wltnesa of the comet, etc., on the morning referred to, I must say , in Justice to the grieved ones that their toilet was complete. (80 Yra. Ago Col.) "I don't put any more faith In Spite of well-to-do can't get to California or Florida or Bermuda spend most of the wint er In the Sahara. Have you a little Sahara 1 n your home? Chancea are you have. Nearly everybody except a few of u a Intelligentsia, have.' Even we have to fight like . well, like cats and dogs to escape the blighting des ert aridity. One memorable winter I resolved to preserve proper humidity at all costs, and accordingly I had every radiater In the hovel fitted wit,h the only efficient portable humidifier I have yet seen. Thla consists of a capacious tank covered with a grill or screen, under which Is a rack or framework by means of which sev eral yards of wlcklng Is suspended so It dips In the wtaer and draws It up where It Is readily evaporated. Such an arrangement will evaporate a gallon or two of water daily from each radiator, register or stove. Well, that winter we didn't use so much fuel to keep comfortable, for one thing. You might suspect that the reason we required leaa fuel was that Z got so much more exercise keeping the enormous flock of hu midifiers well watered. At all hours of the day and night I was toting water to those thirsty brutes, but I never got overheated Viat way. really. We found the lower household tem perature comfortable because the hu midity did not . fall so low. It Is a well known fact that a household temperature of 65 with a fair amount of moisture In the air la more com fortable for all hands than la a temperature of 75 with the air ex cessively dried out as It always Is at tnat temperature, no matter now tne air Is heated, Some people Imagine steam or hot water radiators do not dry the air out as much as the air furnace does. There Is no choice between them on that score. The thing that deter mines the relative humidity or dry ness of the atmosphere whichever way you prefer to put it Is the degree to which you heat the air. At 64 to 68 degreea P. the air still retains a fair amount of water vapor and Is "conditioned" for comfort. With evory degree of heat above 68 the air becomes drier and drier, so that by the time you get the tem perature up to 75 or higher, you are treating your household to a regular sojourn In the Sahara, at the tri fling expense of the extra tons of ooal you burn to achieve your fiend ish end. There are now available various excellent humidifying systems which can be buttt In when the home la erected. For the aake of health, com fort and economy, every new home should Include soma provision for conditioning the atmosphere. It saves not only health and good looks but the furniture and your plants. It certainly -eaves fuel. The Installation and running of the humidifier I mentioned la really no burden.

Roosevelt. That means, of course, that the President Is pretty well satisfied with the program as It etands. 80, we might add, la the majority of the American public. NRA, viewing It dispassionately In the light of some five months' experience, Is a fine thing for the big Industries, such as lumber, oil. steel, chemicals, etc. It la eliminating a lot of the chis eling practlcea that were so disast rous. It Is making possible, for the first time, control of production, ao that supply may be aomewhat adapt ed to demand. NRA, If It la upheld by the courts, will probably prove to be the salva tion of the lumber Industry, enabling It to do something In the way of pro duction control that It has been try ing to do for 30 years, but FAILINO. If NRA subluxes the lumber In dustry, It will be a godsend to the Pacific Coaat. SMALL business, It must be added in candor, has not been helped by NRA, except as It may have benefited by general Improvement In business conditions due to the aid extended to big business by NRA. WA, which means public works , administration, has been a flule ; so far at least, that Is the humble Judgment of this Insignificant writer, i The public works administration I has become ao wound up In red tape and responsibility thst It will be un able to spend any considerable 1 amount of the vast sums placed at it disposal until after the emergency has psssed. About what will happen, It appears ' now. Is thst PvVA will begin to get really Into action about the time ; that general business Improvement Is ! setting In In earnest, which means that PWA activities will enter Into competition with private business for labor and. materials, thus helping to exaggerate the boom that usually fol lows a depression. PWA, on the other hand, has been V ft pleasant aurprtse. Its effect has been to put money IMMEDIATELY Into the hands at those who need It and will spend It. This money substitutes for thc dole, as practiced last winter, and has thc tremendous advantage of retaining the self respect of those who receive it, whereas the dole makes paupers. For nearly three yoars.fwe have been trying devices to Increase pur chasing power, . but about the only noticeable reault of these devices hss been to pile money up tn bank vaults. CWA has got the money out and put it to work. A AA, which is the agricultural ad- Juatment administration, la still on trial. The scheme to levy a tax on oer- ' tain basic farm products. In order to j raise the money with which to hire farmers to keep their land out of production, seems to have worked fairly well In the case of cotton and wheat. In the case of pork, at least so far as the Pacific Coast la con cerned, It hss been a-cruel delusion. The processing tax has come out of the farmer's pocket, thus reducing still farther the already too low price for hogs. ALL these devices, tfowever, are too new to be Judged accurately as yet, and the President Is wise to watch his new system In operation for some time longer before making changes In It.
