A research engineer of the Gen
eral Motors Corporation, In an in
terview, ridicules the depression,
and designates It as "nonsense."
After all the virile cussing that
has been showered on the depres
sion, the classification seems weak.
The research engineer did not
search sufficiently to come to the
conclusion, the Depression wolf on
the back-porch, should have been
pelted with cream-puffs, Instead ol
kicked In the short-ribs.

Portland ahlvareea are virile af

exploded. In three stanzas Sunday.
The resultant reverberations were
heard eight miles, and shook up a
goodly portion of the metropolis.
The bombists will pay all dsmages.
bo the event has been duly noted
on the Inside pages of the press.
It created so much excitement, the
phone calls were waking up the
police station at the rate of three
per minute. It was a gay and seml
ldiotlo affair. In which the groom
remained Intact. With high explos
ives being cast about like an empty
gin bottle, searching and sorrow
ing friends, might have been un
able to find nothing of him, but
the heel of his left shoe. Friends
of the contracting parties should
restrain their Joy, at the nuptials,
and stay with the old-fashioned

nothing that warrants throwing

It Is now charged by the nlmble
wltted upstate preaj. that holding
the primary In September, Instead
of May, "hits the poor man" with
political ambitions. It gives him less
time. In which to go broke, It i
argued. By the same token, the
millionaire candidate, (if any) has
less time. In which to cease to be
one. On the other hand, million
aires are not notorious for their
spending It is detrimental to be
coming and remaining a million
aire. Until all current Utopian plans
to make everybody a millionaire
pan out, arrangements should be
made to have no losera In an elec

The American people tax
themselves cheerfully to rslss

to say that no part of those
millions shall go to the pay
ment of salaries, either to In
structors who like t he Moscow
way or who are still searching
for truth to determine whether
or not they prefer It Ui t he
American way. Those professors
who like the Moscow way may
find coiwnlal employment In
Russia though perhaps not.

Is the New Deal Socialism ?
GENERAL HUGH S. JOHNSON, who will give a speech in
Portland tomorrow night, is being deluged with questions,
from prominent Republicans of the state metropolis, which he
has agreed to answer from the platform.
Among these questions is the following presented by State
Senator Allan A. Bynon :
"Do you believe that the present administration has carried
out It 1932 platform or the platform of the aoclallst party?"
Mr. Bynon not only asks this question, but wished to make it
the subject of a joint debate, with the former administrator of
the NRA.
In refusing to spend an evening debating such a subject, we
think General Johnson showed good sense, and even n certain
magnanimity.
For, it is an irrelevant and foolish query.
IRRELEVANT from the standpoint of the Roosevelt adminis
tration, because the administration, will stand or fall, NOT
upon whether its platform pledges have or have not been carried
out; but whether what it HAS done, has been desirable and
beneficial for the people of this country or the reverse.
Foolish because, the alternative Mr. Bynon presents is ab
surd, and anyone with an elementary knowledge of what
SOCIALISM really is, and what the Socialist party stands for,
can in a few words, show its absurdity.
For that doctrine is the one, w hich not only the administra
tion has not adopted but the one it has consistently opposed.
SOCIALISM means the public ownership of production, pro
perty, capital, etc., etc., for the benefit of the community.
It means the ELIMINATION of the private profit system.
Look over the elements of the New Deal, particularly the
NRA, the AAA, and similar alphabetical departments, and what
has been the essential purpose of them all t
To TROTECT the profit system ! to assure the average busi
ness man a reasonable profit, free from cut-throat competition ;
to assure the farmer a reasonable profit, free from over-production,
the accumulation of surpluses, which render profitable
operation impossible.
Even the light and power policy of the administration, has
been advanced not as a substitute for private ownership and
operation, but as a "measuring stick" for the latter, to eliminate
greed, to correct abuses, so that honest and legitimate private
enterprise in this field may survive.
This isn't socialism. It's the exact reverse. If one insists
upon tagging it with some "ism" it is much nearer the "bete
noir" of the Socinlist, FASCISM. For it does involve concen
tration of authority and control in the central government, and
the carrying out of a more or less formal and definite economic
plan, under and within the capitalistic system.
.....
BUT we prefer the term liberalism, abandonment of the
status quo ante, the policy of laissez faire, for a turn to the
left and a serious effort to preserve the capitalistic system, by
REFORMING it.
Before people talk about the New Deal and the present ad
ministration being socialistic, they should at least take the
trouble to find out what Socialism really is, and what its funda
mental purposes are.
The first principle of a public debate, is to have a clear and
concise definition of terms.
Of all tho charges brought against the Roosevelt administra
tion, the charge that it has followed the platform and principles
of the Socialistic party, is the most absurd.
Communications
pipes Is Misinformed.
To the Ddltor:
May T have the privilege of an
swering the communication In your
good paper of Sunday. December 8th.
signed by Mr. A. W. Pipes, who so
bitterly opposed the recent bond Issue
to secure government funds to con
struct en additional reservoir for
Medford'a water system.
Mr. Pipes evidently la misinformed
as to the recent reduction in Insur
ance rates; he seems to be of the
impression that these reductions were
strictly local, applying to Medford
only, and that the threat of Increased
Insurance rates which the proponents
of the new rwrrotr published was
all prop.ianda.
As a matter of fact, these reduc
tions were statewide and had nu
hearing at all on the Medford situa
tion, which remains aa before na re
gards the probability of increased
istea at such time aa the old pipe
system la abandoned, In event the
rddltlonal storage Is not provided.
We appreciate greatly the fait that
Medford has an outstanding fire de
partment and It Is so credited In our
tat: however, this had no bearing
on the present reductions which were
secured by the cooperative action of
members of the Oregon State Agents'
uumclatlcm.

HOW TOBACCO
By accurate scientific measurements
Ors. Irving 8. Wright and Dean Mof
fat, New York, found that when a
person accustom
ed to smoking
smokes one
ordinary c h g -arette
there Is an
average drop of
53 degrees P. In
the surface tem
perature of the
smoker's fingers
and t o e a; In
many Instances It
Is greater than
that; in one in
stance they ob
served a drop of 15.6 degrees. They
aslo observed slowing and stoppage
of the blood flow of capillaries In
the nail folds. The length of time
the person had been In the habit of
smoking and the number of cigar
ettes smoked dally, had apparent
inuuencv on mese enacts, rrac neat
ly no difference was noted between
the effect of ordinary cigarettes, de
nlcottnlzed cigarettes and mentho
lated cigarettes. Inhaling Increased
the effect on the surrace tempera
ture. That rate of blood flow In the cap
illaries of the nail folds Is an interest
ing test to make on yourself if you
are a smoker. Under a good light
draw the sole of the thumb over the
skin on the bock of the middle or
ring finger Just below the edge of
the nail. Note how quickly the
blanching disappears, or how quickly
the normal flush returns. Then
make the same test when you have
smoked and compare.
Another Investigator, Dr. R. Starr
Lampson, Boston, carried on further
studies and scientific measurements
of the degree of Impairment of the
circulation produced by smoking. He
found that smoking and inhaling cig
arettes produces a sudden and mark
ed peripheral vasconstrlctlon, that Is,
a contraction, narrowing, shutting
down of the fine arteries at the points
where the blood enters the capillary
spaces. This effect lasts for 60 min
utes. If the Rmoke Is not inhaled,
the vasconstrlctlon occurs Just the
same, but lasts only about 15 min
utes. The difference between puffing the
smoke right out of the mouth and
Inhaling is merely a difference In the
area of mucous membrane exposed
to tho smoke, and consequently a i
difference In the dose, the amount of I
the drug absorbed.
Dr. Lampson found that so-called
denicotlnlzed cigarettes produced less
effect than ordinary cigarettes. Cigar

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IP YOU take Into consideration all
that la behind It, here la some
EXCEEDINGLY Interesting and Im
portant news:
Secretary of State Hull and four
other cabinet members are under a
federal court order requiring them
to show cause why they should not
be restrained from Interfering with
shipments of oil, cotton and certain
other commodities to Italy.
These proceedings, which are of a
legal nature, have been brought by
American citizens (apparently of
Italian extraction) who want to sell
oil, cotton, scrap Iron, brass, etc., to
Italy.
THE government of the United
States quite commend ably, this
writer thinks la trying to atay out
of the war between Italy and Ethio
pia and whatever wars may grow out
of It.
Remembering that it was trade
with the warring nations (belliger
ent nations, the diplomats say) that
got us into the World war, our gov
ernment la trying to HEAD OFF such
trade In the present instance.
That la the purpose back of the
neutrality resolution adopted by the
recent congress.
THK situation, briefly, la this:
The nation, as a whole, wants
to stay out of present and future
European wars, having got Its fingers
frightfully burned In the last Eur
opean war. There can be no doubt
of this desire on the part of the
nation as a whole.
But Individuals and communities
throughout the nation want to sell
their products at the best possible
price and wars create demand at
HIGH PRICES for commodities used
in the making of war. Cotton, oil,
scrap Iron and brass are among these
commodities.
CALIFORNIA, Texas, Oklahoma and
other states produce oil not
merely enough for their own needs
and the needs of the nation, but a
VAST SURPJjUS.

CALIFORNIA, Arizona, Texas, and
the entire American South pro
duce cotton not Just enough cotton
to meet the needs of this nation but
! an enormous surplus. There Is piled
i In warehouses In this country now
the equivalent of a full year's crop.
ABOVE the present year's production.
Thla accumulated cotton la causing
a lot of worry In the cotton states.
War creates a demand for this
surplus cotton. .
AND so It goes on down the line.
As a nation, we want to stay
out of the war, but . aa Individuals
and communities we want to sell
what we produce at good prices
and WAR CREATES DEMAND AND
SENDS PRICES UP.
The trouble Is that pressure of In
dividuals and communities with pro
ducts they want to sell at war prices
Is apts to force the nation Into a
position where war will be Inevitable.
THERE Is another angle;
If we refuse to sell oil, cotton,
etc., to Italy, we align ourselves by
that refusal with Britain, France and
the other nations that are undertak
ing' to prevent Italy from doing In
Africa what they .themselves have
done all over the world.
Thus we ANGER ITALY and what
ever allies she may gather to herself,
and so put ourselves In a position
where war might conceivably be de
clared upon us.
THE point tha is here sought to
be brought out is that staying
out of war Is by no means as simple
as on the surface It appears to be.
There are snares and pitfalls on every
hand, and in seeking to keep out of
one we are apt to trip and fall into
another.
If the war between Italy and Eth
iopia spreads, as now seems not im
probable,. It will take courage, skill,
resourcefulness and steadfastness of
purpose on the part of our govern
ment to stay out of It.
