Hitler Talks Sense
WE WISH Hitler had a different sort of face. Now and
then not often he says something that is not only
worth while, but wise and important. What he Baid yesterday
about world peace and Germany's desire to maintain it, was
very good. But as "na mulls it over, that face comes up with
its absurd mustache and expression of beetle-browed vacuity,
and somehow the words lose their rightful significance.
Then too, the man has uttered so much bombastic nonsense,
set off so many verbal fire works, designed only' for home con
sumption, that when he talks sense, which the Test of the world
can understand, a suspicion of his sincerity is at once aroused.
All of which is rather too bad. If Hitler only looked a little
more like Bismarck and a little less like a hastily fabricated
robot, with a hunk of hair tacked to his beaver-hoard brow;
that proclamation of Der Reichsfuehrer from the steps of the
Berlin opera house; might have marked a milestone in the pain
ful struggle of Europe back to sanity, security and peace.
For the doctrine there enunciated was enlightened and en
tirely sound. For example :
Nasi Germany want, peace from a, primitive realization that no
war would be calculated to alleviate the essentially general European
distress but would tend on the contrary to Increase It. Germany of
today la Immersed tn the tremendoue task of repairing lta domes
tic damages. None of our objects of a factual nature will be com
pleted before ten or 30 yean. None of our task of an Ideal nature
can find lta fulfillment before 80 or even 100 yean. What elee could
I dealre but quiet and peace."
What indeed t A clearer, more convincing exposition of why
Germany should work for peace and avoid at all costs another
war, why for that matter every country in EUROPE should
do the same, could hardly be imagined. War could mean noth
ing but greater disaster, and the loss of everything that post
war Europe has achieved.
Tct Hitler knows and everyone else knows, that not only
Germany but all Europe has for practically a decade, been
preparing for, and like so many stampeded sheep, rushing
TOWARD, another European conflagration. For the past two
years, that lighted fuse attached to the power magazine, has
grown shorter and shorter, spluttered nearer and nearer to the
fatal end, and no responsible nation, or responsible spokes
man, has really made a move to stamp it out.
They have all, like Hitler yesterday and onoe before
declaimed passionately against war, and fervently expressed
their desire and love for peace, and yet, in their routine activi
ties from day xto day, they have devoted their attention and
energies almost exclusively, to arousing the passions of racial
hatred, militarism and super nationalism, which render peace
impossible.
T IS all very strange, in fact quite incomprehensible. In that
brief paragraph Hitler gave the argument against another
war in Europe, which is unanswerable. It is simply the truth,
the truth, that all at least all rational beings can see.
Then why doesn't Europe follow the truth, the truth that
will make them free!
Answer that question and you will answer the riddle of
Europe, the riddle of a national leader like der Reichsfuehrer.
We admit the answer, is too much for our powers of analysis
and explanation.
The entire situation in Europe today, and as it has been for
a number of years, just doesn't make sense.
T IS as if all the peoples of that section of the world, were
gathered around the crater of a live volcHno, in full view
of the hideous death and suffering which a step over the preci
pice would mean, and yet not only they but their leaders, so
fascinated by the spectacle, that like the little bird before the
magnetic lure of the cobra they lacked the strength or the
will to retreat, but could only advance slowly but inevitably
to their destruction !
It all conies hack to a statement previously made in this
column, that Europe has gone mad, and home sapiens, over there
at least, has ceased to be a reasoning animal.
Terhaps just perhaps, such a lucid interval as Herr Hitler
enjoyed, on the steps of the Krol opera house yesterday, may,
before it is too late, bring the peoples of Europe and their
leaders to their senses.
It may be a forlorn hope but it's a hope anyway!
A Courageous Action
OrEAKING of "unanswerable arguments," President Roose
velt's stirring address before congress today against the
Patman bonus bill, certainly comes under that classification.
We can't recall a presidential speech in many years, which
so completely annihilated the opposition and left them literally
without a leg to stand upon.
Every argument in favor of this measure, was met with a
left hook for the chin, and knocked sprawling, until there was
nothing left to present in rebuttal, but the "give me" plea,
the obvious and rather disheartening fact that whether the
action is wise or unwise, good or not good for the country at
large, some of the boys still want the money.
A LTHOl'GH the House, true to bonus tradition, promptly
passed the measure over the President's veto, we can't
lieiiee. in view of the President's devastating expose, the
Senate will do likewise. If it should, we predict such a popular
revulsion against legislation of this sort, that the political con
sequences will he incalculably far reaching.
KTO, THE President is dead right, and we are certain, the
' good judgment, and good sense of the American people
as a whole, will eventually sustain him in this courageous action.
We liked particularly what he said about the inflationary
feature of the Patman bill. True it is only $'(W,i0O,( W
ON NT two billion of printing press money, and the President
doesn't claim that this in itself will destroy the national credit
or load to monetary destruction.
Hut and it's a Hut with a capital B, destructive inflation
always starts this way in a little way, just a convenient
method of tiding over hard going.
Hut practically never ill monetary history has printing press
inflation been met by increased taxation by digging into the
jeans and paying the bill. Prices have soared, living costs have
risen. it is anil alwa.vs has been sn much easier to pay a little
iuflatiou, by JUST A LITTLE BIT MOKE I
nfONETARY inflation, big or little, is like the proverbial
- snowball, or the stone in the retaining wall.
It starts, as just a little thing but it's that little thing that
lets down the bars that grows by what it feeds on, and the
answer ninety-nine times out of one hundred is disaster and
destruction.
Even those who favor paying the cash bonus now, should
we think oppose payment via the printing press, as the Patman
measure provides.

Signed letter, pertaining to personal health and hygiene not to disease

envelope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief arid written In Ink.
owing to the large number of letters received only a fen can be answered.
No reply can be made to queries not conforming to Instructions. Address Dr.
William Brady, 265 el Caralno. Beverly Hills, Cal.
AS YOU WEKE,
Tou young ones may run out and
play. This Is for the old folks only.
Not so much for the settled old
out ror mature
adults who feel
a little older
than they are.
Before we start
back, old timers,
I wish to warn
you that we do
not g u a r a ntee
anything. It isn't
done in the reg
ular profesh. 1
never guarantee
to cure anything,
but I do assure
you that my medicine will do no
harm, and to that end I make It a
regular practice to try everything
on the dog first. If I venture to
recommend it to you. Some day I'll
turn up missing, perhaps, and when
I do, an appropriate epitaph would
be "He tried his own medicine."
Now to lop off the first five years:
See that you get an optimal ration
of vitamins. Especially vitamin G.
This Is not JusV snother queer no
tion of Ol' Doc Brady's. One of the
highest authorities, Dr. Henry C.
Sherman, found from his nutrition
researches that the period between
the attainment of maturity and the
onset of senility Is greatly length
ened by an optimal intake of vita
min O. And here the other day Prof.
C. a. King reported to the American
Institute of Nutrition his conclusion
that vitamin C tends to prevent
hardening of the arteries. But don't
confine your ration to one or two
vitamins. Rathe;- try to get more ot
all the vitamins than are necessary
to prevent scurvy, rickets, beriberi,
pellagra, xerophthalmia, etc.
For the second five-year extension
of vim, vigor and vitality, my pre
scription Is an adequate lodln ration.
I have a fat file of letters from all
classes and types of adults who aver
thst they have become younger since
they began taking an lodln ration.
Many of them even believe their
gray hair has been restored to its
natural color I don't believe this
myself, but you see, they take a
brighter view of everything when
they get their lodln.
The third five years off Is really
the easiest part of this rejuvenation
program. And I don't give a hoot
what any doctor or anybody else
may think of it, I advise all you
older boys and glrla to roll your
selves a string of somersaults at
least every night and morning, and
as often through the day as may be
convenient. This is good medicine.
Take It or leave It., I doubt that
you can think , of any wisecrack
about it that hasn't been made again
and AgMn. If such antics seem too
silly to a dignified old bird, that's
all right with me. Just stay where
you are.

SAY, IN J012.
Finally, I sincerely believe that
the average mature adult can add
five years to his or her active life
by Investing In first class dentistry.
My opinion of the toothbrushing
nonsense ts well known, but I fear
my opinion of good dentistry Is not
so well known. If you have any Im
perfection of your masticating ap
paratus, any missing teeth, any
questionable teeth, have the defect
corrected immediately by a first
class dentist. No matter If you have
worried along for 30 years handi
capped by imperfect mastication.
That makes an extra bcui of years,
presented with the compliments ot
this newspaper and Ol' Doc Brady.
0,1 ESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Painting the Ice Box.
Inside of my refrigerator being
rather discolored, I gave It a couple
coats of white enamel. Now I am
told this was a bad thing to do.
J. A. McK.
Answer If the enamel dried per
fectly I know of no objection, from
the viewpoint of hygiene.
Mten, Dumb Egps.
Say, Doc, your corn remedy Is fine
to relieve pain and remove corns,
but they come back. Is there any
thing that will remove them for
ever? T. 8. C.
Answer Yes. but I'm afraid re
quires a wee bit of brains. What
causes the corns in the first place?
Shoes too tight, too short, freak
shaped. Ill-fitting. Pressure and fric
tion. Go barefoot and you'll have no
more corns. Wear sandals, carpet
slippers, moccasins, even shoes built
to fit the feet rather than trying
to make your feet fit the freak foot
wear that fashion decrees. The sa
1 try la ted collodion I recommend
should be painted on corn, wart or
callus, not on normal skin, once
daily for a week or more, to soften
the corn or wart or callus so it is
readily wiped off. The recipe is 30
grains of salicylic acid dissolved in
one-half ounce of flexible collodion.
Keep vial tightly corked, and keep
liquid off from neck of vial. If the
liquid becomes stiff it may be re
stored by addition of a little more
ether.
Cheap Smoked Citncs.
Are the cheap smoked glasses or
sun goggles sold In certain stores
Injurious to one's eyes? Mrs. S. C.
Answer Not If one should wear
tinted, or "smoked" goggles. Many
persons wear such glasses in the
mistaken belief that they prevent
eyestrain. On the contrary, they in
crease the strain of vision In ordi
nary circumstances, tho they are a
comfort If you have to face the
glare of bright sun.

An Answer to Mr. Deuel
To the Editor:
Please permit me to comment upon
the article written by L. J. Deuel,
manager of the local Medford Pro
duction Credit association. Mr. Deuel's
report shows a very comprehensive
knowledge of the fruit business and
the financing of the same and he Is
to be congratulated upon the report
with one very serious exception which
I do not feel can be condoned nor
accepted as a fact.
When the statement was made that
'Washington and Hood River apples
are far superior to Medford apples"
we believe Luke either mis-spoke
himself or else does not know his
apples.
A little past history may serve to
clarify the situation: Only a few years
ago at the Pacific International held
in Portland in competition with Hood
River and Washlnqton Newtowns.
Medford Newtowns received first
prize. That fame year the apples
from Meflford, were taken to Phoenix,
Arizona to Western States exposition
in competition with apples from the
eight western states and they received
sweepstakes of course prizes were
awarded upon quality and general ap
pearance. Last fall Medford Newtowns were
sold for export to England at prices
which were among the highest, If not
the highest paid In the entire north
west. It is also interesting to know
that Medford apples (some brands)
are now selling from 5 cenU to 30
cents more than other northwest
brands In San Francisco market. That
prices net to the grower for red De
licious as paid by Southern Oregon
Sales were among the highest aver
ages for the states of Oregon and
Washington.
In Justice to the many apple grow
ers of this valley I believe that the
public should have the above facts.
We ourselves know that our apples
are known all over the world for their
quality and keeping ability and that
the principal reason apples have not
been so profitable here In this dis
trict as a whole ts because of the pro
duction per acre in comparison with
other districts it has never been a
matter of quality; and even the mat
ter of production with some of us
compares most favorably with the
other northwest districts. Time to
spray again so good-bye. Luke.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
UNDER an old and more or leas
forgotten provision of the Ore
gon constitution, the governor's sal
ary is limited to a 1500 a year, and
down In the Willamette valley they're
preparing to file a suit to determine
the legality of the present 7500 sal
ary. It's a little surprising to learn that
In these New Deal days anybody Is
even Interested In what constitutions
provide.
THE constitution of the United
States provides that freedom of
speech and of the press shall not be
limited In this country.
It la a wise provision, and so far
It has not been challenged. It is to
be hoped that It NEVER WILL BE
challenged.
A free press ts essential to pro
gress. THERE have been martyrs to free
dom of the press In America.
The first was Elijah Parish Love Joy,
who In 1836 started a newspaper In
Alton, Illinois, and began a fight
against the Institution of human
slavery. His press was destroyed by
hoodlums. He set up a second press
and It was destroyed. The same fate
met a third press,
FOLLOWINO the tlestructlon of his
third press, Lovejoy made this
tinging declaration of the principle
of freedom of the press:
As long as I am an American citi
zen, and as long as American blood
runs In these veins, I shall hold my
self at liberty to speak, to write and
to publish whatever I please, being
amenable to the laws of my country
for the same."
A fourth press arrived, was set up.
and the first night Lovejdy and a
number of his friends remained on
guard over it. That night the build
ing was attacked by ruffians, who set
fire to It, and In the ensuing ex
change of shots Lovejoy was killed.
COLBY COLLEGE at Watervllle.
Maine, has set the 18th of May
as a date for exercises commemorat
ing this first American martyr to
the cause of fredom of the press.
It Is an appropriate act. and
thoughtful people all over America
may well join tn paying a tribute to
Elijah Parish Lovejoy, who oame to
his death because he Insisted upon
his right to utter his beliefs, subject
to the laws of his country.
FREEDOM of the press hss been
abused In this country at times,
and probably will be again. Not all
editors are perfect. Some are con
temptible. A few have been traitor
ous.
But In every emergency this coun
try has faced, there have been edi
tors, some great and Influential, some
small but none the less sincere, who
have not been afraid to speak what
they believed to be the truth.
If the time ever comes when hon
est, sincere newspapers are AFRAID
to speak what they believe to be the
truth, this country will have lost
something that is inimitably pre
cious.
