EJitorial Correspondence
PORTLAND, Jan. 21. The sunshine and warmth ,of yes
terday has gone. Everything enveloped today in a thick, wet,
eold fog. In the hotel coffee shop, for breakfast ran into Hob
Deuel and Moose Muirhead, both looking very fresh and frisky.
With Heine Fhihrer and Bud Hayes they had flown to Spo
kane in the Muirhead-Fluhrer ship, where snow, rain and low
clouds had delayed their departure. So they (these two) came
down by train and Hob has just left by motor for home. Envy
no one motoring or flying in this weather. Give us the train.
(Don't mention it, Rosey!)
Walked down to the dock
see the German cruiser Emden
A trim, speedy looking ship, with Hitler s swastika flag, hang
ing limp at the masthead, and the deck literally swarming with
white jacketed middies. A group on the bow was being ad
dressed by an officer, who standing on a gun platform, tow
ered above them, his voice coming out crisp and clear, in ap
proved military fashion. There were other small active groups
from stem to stern. Some engaged in gun drills, others in signal
practice, still others making observations or going through
the motions others were busy with ear phones, and swinging
an anti-aircraft gun up and down. A striking example of Ger
man precision and industry.
No one admitted on the ship until tomorrow, but for obser
vation purposes, a place on the dock was as satisfactory as on
the deck, only a single step separated them. An officer at the
gang plank, proved very amiable
questions. He spoke English w:th only a slight accent. These
lads in white, he explained, are cadets in training. They arc
in their early 'teens and looked it, some only about 14 or 15
but well set up, pink cheeked and alert. One hundred fifty-five
of them in all. The ship in addition has 30 officers and a crew
of 640. They left Germany last October, came through the canal
and will go to Honolulu from here. The Emden was the first
battle cruiser built after the war, launched in 1925. There is
only one other1 training ship in the German navy the Karls
ruhe. Yes, they had heavy weather up the coast, and the Emden
built like a yacht for speed, gave the middies a tough work out.
Were any or them sea sick T
"Sure all of them, so were some of the old hands. Glad
to get on dry land again. Everyone likes Portland."
e . .
When the ship came up the Willamette yesterday with the
ship band playing the Star Spangled banner and "Die Wacht
am Rhine" a group of Portland radicals including several stu
dents from Reed college, staged a riot in protest against Hitler
and the Nazis. It didn't amount to much, but for the sake of
the proprieties (and publicity), the police made some arrests
the offenders being taken to court and promptly released. It
probably wasn't a very tactful thing to ask the officer if ho
had heard of this incident. He shook his head, said nothing, and
in h few moments, saluted, turned on his heel and walked away.
Another officer soon took his place and motioning in the gen
eral direction of your correspondent asked everyone to move
back.
ee.es
We know less about cruisers than deep sea diving, but this
Emden, spio and span, with brass glistening, long guns poking
through their turrets, and an atmosphere of alertness and ef
ficiency about, was impressive. An American sailor boy on the
dock, from the U, S. S. Charleston volunteered the information,
that it was mora a training than a fighting ship, and Germany's
present naval strength will rest in its toy battleships, U-boats,
scooters and fighting sea planes. Sounds reasonable.
. . .
There was almost a pathetic note in the general spectacle,
not only at the dock but later up town. . There was such an
obvious desire to please. The Emden was decorated from bow
to stern with Christmas greens and according to the morning
papers, when Captain Bachmnnn, called on Mayor Carson yes
terday, something was said about "peace on earth, good will
to men." Last night at the movies a couple of officers from the
Emden went in just ahead of us, and when the pretty little
usherette advanced to greet them with her scarlet coat and blue
pantaloons, it was amusing to see tbem, salute and click their
heels. The usherette was so impressed she nearly fell over.
Later when a couple of them went out while the show was still
going on, they wero extremely polite and apologetio to those
forced to rise in their scats. It is a good will tour. Hut with the
radicals against them because they are Nazis, and the conserv
atives raising their eyebrows because they are Germans, it must
be rathor an uphill struggle.
Portland has a most excellent symphony orchestra and it
was "indeed a pleasure" to hear them last night, particularly
one of our favorites, Isoldes death song from Tristan. Ono of
the disadvantages in living bo far away from Portland is the
inability to hear really fine miisio more often. If present plans
go through, however, the Portland Orchestra will give a cou
cert in Mcdford some timo nest month. Here's hoping. A most
creditable organization.
"The King is dead, Long live the King I" King George do
parts, King Edward the Vllt takes up the reins, the first bach
elor king since George HI. King George V started out as ono
of tho most unpopular monarchs, but came to be one of the
m-st popular, highly beloved and respected throughout his
realm, thanks to his good common sense, good judgment and
sincere devotion to tho best interests of his people. In contrast,
the new King as Prince of Wales, enjoyed and still enjoys, the
most extraordinary personal popularity. Will history by any
chance repeat itself in REVERSE, will the second baoholo'r
king, see the disintegration of the British empire, as the former
one, saw the loss of the colonies in America! Who can toll?
For the sake of world pence and the survival of modern civil
ization it is to be hoped the British Empire will remain intact,
and a closer union between the English speaking people, Great
Britain and the United States, may be possible. As we see it,
it is the best and perhaps the only hope for the world. This
much is certain, if the new King lives as long as his father, his
reign will bo a most EVENTFUL one.
.....
Didn't learn of the death of Judge Colvig, until this morn

A grand old man physically and mentally his mind being

he recited a long passage from Shakespeare without missing a
word, with perfect understanding and a fine sense of drama.
He could talk interestingly on a score of subjects, and unlike
so many men who live long after the three score and ten, he
nrtrr lost interest in contemporary events. What a privilege
to have lived so long, to have gotten so much pleasure out of
life, and to have given so much to others.
.....
The fog has lifted and the sun shining again in a clear blue
sky. The downtown streets nro full of Emden blue jackets,
striking along in groups of three and four. A smart, healthy,
fine looking lot, with their funny round hats and long ribbons
hanging down their shoulders. When an officer passes there is
much Nazi saluting. A traffic eop at the corner of Broadway
and Washington is also saluted. The lads appear to be havinu

shoulder that load. The burden on
the shoulders of posterity Is being
steadily Increased.
ITS exceedingly unpopular to say
A so, because we're still In the
spending spree and haven't yet
reached the paying atage, but the
more the government takes In taxes
the less each of us will have left
for himself.
(Please don't get the Idea that
this writer thinks this country Is
headed for ruin. It ISNT. We, in
cluding posterity, are still young
enough and strong enough ss a na
tion to shoulder the burden that
is being placed upon us and GET

easier, and we could go FARTHER

Interesting: '
"The league of 'nations committee
of 13 decided today (Monday) It had
no authority to accede to Ethiopian
requests for a neutral commission
of Inquiry and tor financial assist

THB league of nations, quite brash

sanctlona, you will note, have been
Imposed against Italy.
The story Is going the rounds now
that the great nations of Europe
feel thst It would be a calamity u
BLACK Ethiopia should administer
a defeat In the field to whit. Italy,
aa that might put wrong notions In

Jonathan Bourne Opposes Bill
To the Editor:
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., formerly of
Oregon, now a realdent of Washing
ton. D. was the father of the Ore
gon primary law. His message, sent
to Oregon on the eve of the January
31 election. Is a most convincing ref
utation of the arguments now being
brought forward to hoodwink the vot
ers Into changing the date of the pri
mary election from May to Septem
ber. The three hundred word limit pre
vents giving his entire mwsage, but
I may present portions of It as fol
lows: "For several decades the Ore
gon electorate have blazed the trail
for popular government. Oregon was
the first state to adopt a presidential
primary law, which was tn 1911.
thereby enabling th electorate to se
lect their choice In their respective
parties for the presidential and vice
presidential nomination. Following
Oregon's action, over twenty other
states adopted some form of a presi
dential preference primary.
"Ultimately, X hope and believe
that every state in the union will
adopt a virile, effective presidential
preference primary law, so that dele
gates to the .national conventions
will become merely "messenger boys"
snd have no voice whatever under the
mandate of their respective electorate
in selecting candidates for the presi
dency and vto presidency, after a
conatiiutkiiU amendment has been
enacted permitting the states to take
such action.
"From the national standpoint, I
consider this the most Important ac
tion that can be taken to preserve
our present form of government. It
Is Inconceivable that the Oregon
electorate. In the special election held
on the 31st of this month, will de

duced to specific provable funda
mentals. No. 1--The business outlook has
perked up considerably since the
turn of the year. One large factory
Is about to reopen and there is
talk of reopening another. General
Motors closed up Its branch here
when the depression slide started.
It employed 3000 men at the pre-
depresslon peak. Now It will open
up on a smaller scale (employing
about 300 at the start) to make
headlights and fenders.
The old Franklin car was made
here, until the depression stopped
It, Now some negotiations are sup
posed to be under way, looking
toward resumption of production,
These things make the local peo
ple think In entirely different terms
than they have been thinking for
the past few years.
The Syracuse relief load has been
cut from a 1034 peak of 40.000 per
sons to about 25.000 currently. That
means It haa been reduced about
half. If General Motors and Frank
lin could hit their peak, the entire
relief roll could be absorbed. Ol
course, this Is not In early prospect.
The population of the city Is
about 330,000. Thus about 10 per
cent now Is on relief. The method
and burden of handling them Is a
main toplo of political and private
discussion.
Local WPA office was organized
last July, but dallied until Octo
ber. Real activity did not begin
until a week before the election
last November. Then 4000 reliefers
were transferred to work.
What they are doing now Is most
ly outdoor boondoggling, fixing up
tne partes, manicuring the trees. Tne
county has had one really worth
while project, a sewage disposal
plant. The city could do without
the rest.
The connection between relief and
politics seems to hsve been de
veloped along thoroughly practical
lines.
The mayor, .Roland B. Marvin, Is
a Republican, and In constant dis
agreement with WPA. He Is serving
his fourth consecutive term, and
his friends say he will run for the
Republican guberatorlal nomination.
Mayor Marvin Is mourning because
the city cost of handling 5300 re
lief cases this year la higher than
the cost of handling 9000 cases last
year under direct relief. So much
goes for materials. Also there are
technical difficulties.
WPA Is In charge of a new deal
administrator who has been quoted
as saying he would fire anyone U
the color of his necktie was un
satisfactory.
But there was some trouble Just
before the last election when new
dealers were canvassing voters and
a few Jobs were offered In return
for votes. It would not have been
so bad if they had not approached
a Republican alderman (Harry Oa-
trander, 14th ward) and suggested
he could get Into a relief Job by
voting for the Democratic mayoralty
candidate.
You can Imagine what he said.
and how loudly ha Is still saying
it.

Mary O. Carey recently returned
from a two months' vacation spent in
Sacramento. "When the heavy rains
began to fall I wondered where they
set that sunny California! It never
does rain es hard In this valley as It
can there. Tuesday of this week they
had to close the flood-gates between
North Sacramento and the city proper
and route all travel around the 'Jig
Natomaa levee," said Mrs. Carey. On
the train shi met several Oregonlans .
who were coming back to this valley,
and when asked If they were getting

floods, they promptly replied them
were.
