A LL THE element that make for war are present in Central
" Europe today, aa they , were 20 years ago, but two.
First,, there ia no extra cash with which to wage war. Sec
ond, there is among the masses, no real DEEP-SEATED desire
for war.
The treasuries of Central Europe, in striking contrast to
1914, are empty. The rank and file of the people from the
English channel to Trieste, are distressed, bitter and resentful;
but this feeling is as likely to turn against their present rulers,
as against some foreign foe.
In other words there is no
ional unity. Widespread anarchy leading to Communism, far j
better describes the true situation, we believe, than mobilization
leading to another European war.
If the truth were known, :we venture to say, it would be
found that Stalin is watching , the developments in Austria
today with far more relish and

That is assuming the Kaiser
and political economy, as he pretends to be.
Why Not "Sell" the Climate?
YESTERDAT, we are told, was a hot day. Today, no doubt
the report will be the same.
But the answer from one
Middle West for two months
Oregon knows what heat is.
The thermometer doesn't
soared in Southern Oregon over
Fall, do so again.
But the result will not be
Rocky Mountains understands it. For it will be a dry heat
in the first place j and a comparatively brief period of heat in
the second. Dry heat may burn and annoy but it doesn't kill.
Extreme heat during eight hours out of the twenty-four may be
disturbing, but with sixteen hours in which to recover, it can,
be cheerfully and healthfully borne.
IT IS a truism that we seldom appreciate our blessings. The
present writer can put it down as an historical and incon
trovertible fact, that when it comes to climate, the people of
Oregon do NOT appreciate their blessings.
They can't without taking a trip into the Mississippi
Valley, during mid-summer, or being offered like Dante, a safe
conduct, through the nether regions.
No it can't be done. In this matter, as in many others, the
most vivid imagination fails. Experience is not alone the best,
but the ONLY teacher.
TT'HAT experience the writer has just had. It is an experience
A he never intends to repeat, unless some - unexpected
emergency demands it.
Drops of water wear away a stone. In the East and Middle
west, it is not only maximum heat, united with maximum
humidity; but it's the absence of any relief night or day. It's
the pitiless PERSISTENCY of the thing. When it starts the
sun appears to have little to do with it. The victim in fact, gasps
for air, even more desperately at night, than during the day.
One simply has to wait for a thunderstorm or cyclone, to
terminate the suffering, and it is this WAITING that wears
poor homo sapiens down to the undertaker's door. When the
storm finally breaks only those without a home and a cellar
to retire to, worry about the destruction, ANYTHING but that
continued heat is a relief.
'T'HERE'S another point. In the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys, there is, within four or five hundred miles, no
escape. There is no snow enpped mountain one can reach in a
couple of hours; no ocean breezes within a thousand miles, no
thick, cool forests or protected foothills, where relief is certain.
Barring ownership of an ice house, an airplane or a railroad
ticket as long as your arm, there is nothing to do but pray
and bear it.
And that's what they do. And WHY they do it, if material
circumstances allow a one-way ticket to Oregon, we are com
pletely at a loss to understand. Why stay there and suffer when
business conditions (particularly farming) could (so we are
told) scarcely be worse!
IITELL, perhaps the answer to that ia the same as the answer
to why this tribute to Ci ebon's climate will be dis
counted by many of our readers, as merely some MORE liiiui
dinger hooey routine Chamber of Commerce stuff!
It isn't. It'a the solemn, gospel truth. And one has only to
get out of the state at this time of year, secure a true national
perspective, to real'ze it. But those who have been here longest
and should know tlvir state best, are the last to credit it-
as ,
IIHICH brings us back to that truism that we seldom
appreciate our blessings. And so, conversely, perhaps our
long suffering brethern in the Middle West,' don't pull up
stakes and move on, because they don't (or seldom do) apprec
iate their MISFORTUNES, can 't sense their gravity or the
ease with which they might be escaped.
And so climate is endured on one hand, and not apprec
iated on the other, which is only another way of saying that
in spite of the pro-western leanings of the Weather Man, things
go on, much as they always have gone.
Which is rather too bad. For history shows that climate is
a most vital factor, both in the development of the human race
and its happiness.
So it should be properly appreciated by those who live in
Oregon and enjoy it ; and it should be rroperly sold to those
who don't For in such a process, both sides to the transaction
would greatly benefit.

Bt'RAL CARRIER HAS SOME IDEAS ABOCT CRAMPS
Dear Dr. Brady:
Have read many of your articles
with great Interest. Regarding your
article on swlm.'
mlng may I be
permitted
to make a few
observations?
For nearly &0
years X have been
a swimmer. When
I learned to swim
I decided that
some -day I prob
ably "would get
cramps" snd at
the same time 1
decided I was go
ing to swim anyhow. If the crampa
came In my arms, I'd continue swim
ming by using my legs snd feet,
snd If the crsmps came In my legs
I'd swim with my arms.
I believe the thing that haa
drowned more people than anything
else la the fear that if you get crampa
you will certainly drown. Persons ob
sessed by this Idea Just drown when
they think they are getting cramps,
drown to keep from being disap
pointed! The grestest fsult with Inexperi
enced swimmers Is swimming too high
In th water. It takea a lot of power
to do It and any one tires quickly
swimming high. Really you only need
your nose above water, and swimming
low takea almost no power at all.
The reason the Australian crawl la
such a wonderful stroke Is the low
position of the swimmer in the water.
I think that many of the "cramp"
drownings we hear about occur as a
result of too much muscular effort
by emateurs who swim high In the
water. IF. 8. B.)
There Is much sound sense In what
this exppert tells us. Most swimmers
will recall how they learned to swim
only sfter they had overcome fear of
submersion.
Psychologists say a child Is born
with one Instinctive fear, the fear of
falling. Probably the same fear ac
counts for the difficulty most begin
ners meet In learning to swim. Every
body st first la sfrsld of submersion.
Women snd most men can float
without effort by lying In still water
on the back with everything but
nose snd mouth submerged. If the
water la disturbed by waves or by
splashing nearby, one haa to give a
kick or two to rise above the wave.
But In quiet water one may float for
hours thst way without effort.

By FRANK JENKINS
TWO headliii flare from the front
page:
"CHANCELLOR DOLTUSS SHOT."
' "LONGSHOREMEN VOTE ARBI

rope. The second points toward
growing peace in America,.
,If you are wise, you will give fer
vent thanks that you lire In America,
Instead of In Europe. ,
A ND you will add, If you are x-
ceedingl7 wise:
"I hereby pledge myself to uphold
and maintain American Institutions
and to oppose with all my power
those who seek to overthrow and de
stroy these Institutions."
DOLLFUSS, Austrian chancellor,
antl-nazl, la shot down by nasls,
who apparently capture several mem
bers of the Dolfusa government.
Later, aa nearly aa can be got at
from the censored and carefully
guarded dispatches permitted to get
out, the nazl assassins exchange these
captured officials for their own lib
erty.
1BRMANT Is nazl. Italy la fascist.
VJ Nazi and fascists have a fellow
feeling for each other.
So we read in a further headline:
"Italian soldiers moving to border,
A dispatch from Rome Informs us
that Italy has 75,000 troops near the
Austrian border.
Italy Is getting ready for what
ever may happen.
1TTHAT a messt
TT Things appear to get In a
pretty bad way in this country st
times, what with kidnapers and
gangsters and strikes that seem to
have something more back of them
than the simple and commendable
desire to Improve the condition of
those who work for wages, but even
at our worst, we're far better off
than hate-ridden Europe. ..
Let's stay that way.
ANOTHER headline, more construc
tive: "Millions Allotted for High
way Work."
The millions are federal money,
and the highway work referred to
Is to be done in Oregon.
"We'll have to pay taxes for a
long time In order to pay back this
federal money that Is borrowed, but
at least we'll have the roads and In
the next few years we'll make mighty
good use of them. j
FEDERAL money has been spent
lavishly In the past year In or
der to create employment. Some of
the things It has been spent for will
be of permanent value. Many, many
won't.
This writer, who is probably a
good road crank and therefore pre
judiced, la of the opinion that U
the bulk of the federal billions that
have been spent to create employ
ment had gone Into the building of
the greatest system of highways any
nation ever had, and If a lot of the
other projects that have been finan
ced with federal money had been ig
nored, we should have been far bet
ter off In the long run.
That, however, is merely one per
son's opinion. What has been done
has been done, snd It's up to us to
make the best of It.
AT ANY rate, spending money for
the things we've spent It for Is
vastly better than spending It for
war as Europe has done and Is still
dolr..
We can be absolutely positive of
that.

Members of the sheriff s office and
state police served the warrant upon
Cluster, and arrested Stockman.
Branded as "Red.?
Cluster Is charged by Douglas coun
ty authorities with non-support of
two minor children boys, aged 12
and 15 years. Information forwarded
to the district attorney's office state
that Cluster la an avowed "red," snd
known as a communist organizer. He
applied for relief in Douglas county,
April 17, 1933. Cards to sign up for
work, Douglas county records show
were unanswered by Cluster.
The Douglas county relief commit
tee reported that Cluster left his twa
children with relatives, themselves on
county aid lists, and that he con
tributed nothing to their support. He
has left his Douglas county resldenoe
for long periods, returning at Inter
vals from wanderings. Until his Ap
pearance here, Douglas county au
thorities thought he was in the San
Francisco strike area. He has ben
here for about six weeks.
Claim Son Also Radical.
Information was also furnished the
district attorney that cluster has a
son, aged 30, arrested 10 days ago
in Portland In a raid on a radical
nest there. The youth was also known
as a communist organizer.
Cluster, during his stay here, estab
lished headquarters in the old P. &
E. depot and held several meetlr.gi
on the adjoining lot. He gathered
about him in the neighborhood of
100 local followers. Including many
who spend all their time st "the hall."
He has been under surveillance for
several weeks, but authorities report
he was "sly" ln his activities. D15
trlbutlon of communistic handbills
was laid at his door by officers.
A week ago. the "Cannery and Ag
ricultural Workers Union" hinted a
fruit workers' strike would be fo

ing to the pretense that Germany Is
on the gold standard. This Is pure
fiction, since the gold coverage is
around 3 per cent, yet the worthless
mark Is set by flat of the govern
ment at 39 cents in terms of U. 8.
dollsrs. With full gold coverage, its
value was about 24 cents.
Not much business can be done be
tween the two countries, except by
barter, on such terms as that Amort
can traders would hard'y care for
long to buy German goods at such a
disadvantage In exchange, nor would
they care to sell at such discount,
even if the mark had any backing.
In the light of the present state of
affairs. It Is almost amuslr.? to look
back to 1931, Just before the morato
rium waa sought snd arranged. Then
the whole financial world was trem
bling with apprehension and fright
because the German gold reserve wns
about to go below 40 per cent. If
that happened, it was predicted, the
heavens would fall.
Now Germany has rirtuslly no gold
reserve, she haa refused to pay inter
eat on her debts, a small portion ex
cepted, and she has all but repu
diated them. But, tn place of the wild
excitement her condition created
three years sgo, there is now com
parative calm.
