WEST-M
Thoughts While Strolling
rTHE 30th U. S. Infantry, 1400 strong, made quite a showing
on the fairgrounds yesterday. The officers looked smart
and capable, the men husky and happy, the 150 motor trucks,
spis and span; all in all, to t easual civilian wandering about,
it appeared in case of hostilities,
account of itself.
Tet in modern warfare, a
ground, and as many bombing
wipe out such a unit, no doubt
1400 men killed, wounded and
the official communique, under
western front."
For to have even the start
would have to be multiplied by
war, with a country like this seriously engaged, thnt total would
have to be multiplied by three or four.
a . v
TUTS only refers to the man power problem.
This one regiment, relatively speaking only a corporal's
guard, on its motor march from Snn Francisco to Fort Lewis,
will consume 466 dozen eggs, 388 cans of milk, 4600 pounds of
meat, and 12,000 gallons of gasoline.
Multiply THOSE figures by a thousand, and see what pro
viding for an army of a million men means! Means in money,
means in the production of food, and gas, means in the produc
tion of mechanical equipment!
IT not only re-emphasizes the dictum of Napoleon that an army
travels on its stomach ; but more emphatically, that the effec
tiveness of a modern army depends, upon industrial production,
and the possession of raw materials.
So one gains a clearer view of what economic sanctions
COULD mean in a modern war, and more important what they
could mean, in stopping a war that has started or preventing
one.
IT is plain now that England could have forced Italy to With
draw fVnm T.tri inn!. if mhm Vio.n Tpillino To n,v fVtf
price, cutting off Mussolini's supply of oil and gas, would have
forced him to call off hostilities in two or three weeks.
Tcs that might have meant war with Italy and perhnrs
another world war. But with what is now known, of Italy's
fighting spirit, against a modern army, (not a pack of un
armed and half clothed natives) and of II Duce's habit of bluff
nd bluster, it might have meant nothing of the sort. Prompt
and courageous action by John Bull, might have prevented the
armed oonqnest of Ethiopia, and lessened the probability of a
world war, by cooling II Duce's militaristic ardor, for several
years to come.
VTOU never can tell. But this stroll around the military
encampment yesterday, aroused these and other similar
thoughts, in the mind of the present writer. And the total led
to the conclusion, that if an overwhelming number of people
in the world really WANT peace, and don't want war, there is
a way peace can be attained, and during the present genera
tion. It's very simple, and wouldn't cost a nickel.
Here is the idea: ,
Let John Bull and Uncle Sara enter into a mutual agreement
to join forces on land and sea, for the maintenance of world
peace, and not only impose but ENFORCE economic sanctions
against any country, or countries, that threaten to disturb the
peace.
The combined fleets of the two countries would control tho
seas, absolutely. The Anglo-American control of war materials
would be almost as complete, no country or group of countries
could wage effective warfare, two months, with the armed
forces of the English speaking countries operating natively
against them.
And think what that would save in lives and treasure!
Great Britain might consider it,
Rut this country, with that "ancient grudge" reviving, with
its delight in isolation', and its morbid fear of entangling alli
ances, would crush such an eflort, in an avalanche of votes,
before it started !
. What Price War?
OPEAKINO of war,
We wonder how many people have any ides of what, the
world war cost. Not only cost, but wasted. For shovelling
out billions to help people and make the world a better place
in which to live, is one thing; shovelling them out to kill people
and destroy the world, not only for this generation hut for gen"
orations to come is quite another.
Well three or four years ago Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
head of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,
struck a final balance on the world war, and in substance this
is what he found out:
If th. I40O.0OO.0O0.OO0 which that war mt had been applied
to pacific uses and betterment, It would har. built a as, 606
houM and furnished that houM with .1,000 worth of fumltur,
and placed It on fire acres of land worth atOO an arm for arh
and .very family In the United States and Canada, Australia,
Rutland, Walea, Ireland. Scotland, Prance, Belgium. Germany,
and RUMla.
After dnins all thl. there would hare been enough money
left to give each city of 100.000 Inhabitants and more In all the
reuntrle named a IS. 000. 000 library and a 110.000,000 unlt.ralty.
Then out of th. balanc there would atlll hare been suffi
cient money to eet aside a sum at 6-percent Interest which
would pay for all time to come a 11,000 yearly salary eaoh for
an army of 135,000 teachers, and In addition to this pay the r.
same aala.y to an army of 130.000 nurses.
"And after having don. all this", ths report offered by Dr.
Butler concluded, "we could still bar. had enough left of the
i four hundred billions to buy up all of prance and Belgium,
and everything of Talue that France and Belgium possessed In
1014; that Is. .rery French and Belgian fs-m. home, bank,
factory, ohurch, and railroad."
"In other words," as the Akron (Ohio) Beacon recent 1
declared, "the price which the leaders and statesmen of the
allied nations, including the L'nited States, made the people ol
the world pay for the victory over Germany was equal to the
value of five countries like France plus five countries like
Belgium.

Comment
on the
Day s News
By FRANK JENKINS
Q? in overwhelmingly decisive vote,
mJ the house of representatives
passes the antl-lynchlng bill that for
years has been a bone of contention
in congress.
The fundamental .purpose of -the
bill ts to deal with negro lynchlngs
In the SOUTH, although of course It
Is general In Its nature and refers
to lynchlngs all over the country. ,
If you read your newspaper care
fully, you frill have noted that it
was opposed bitterly by most south'
era congressmen.
jkTEORO lynchlngs are a southern
11 problem, arising out of the race
situation that exist In ths south.
No one defends them. They can't
be PUBLICLY defended. But if you
have followed this antl-lynchlng bill s
history In congress you must be
aware that for years the south has
been successful In defeating FED
ERAL legislation on this subject.
That must indicate that there is
considerable feeling on It in tne
southern states.
THERE Is as everyone who Is at
all familiar with the south knows.
The south, which has the negro on
Its hands, FEARS him. Southern
whites have the ingrained feeling
that If the negro la to be kept from
getting out of hand he must be
KEPT SCARED. While It Isn't openly
admitted, and would be publicly de
nied, the south feels that lyncmngs
help to do this.
OUT here, we don't understand
this situation. But neither does
the east understand or sympathize
with the Pacific coasts objection to
admitting Japanese to this country
as citizens. Each section hss its own
problems, and the negro lsthesoutn's
problem.
THE political point Involved Is that
th traditionally Democratic south
has been decisively out-voted by the
New Deal Democratic north on an
Issue on which white public opinion
In the south feels strongly. Stat
rights have been over-ridden in a
way that la pretty sure to csuse the
south to feel that It has been in
jured. Th New Desl has moved stesdiiy
In the direction of concentrating gov
ernmsnt la Washington and TAKiNU
AUTHORITY AWAY from ths states.
So far, It has been aided In this
purpose by the solidly Democratic
south.
But this antl-lynchlng bill (witn
whose purpose most northerners are
In full agreement) takes away from
the south tt locsl authority to nan.
die a problem which southerners are
Inclined to regard as one which they
alone understand and are able to
deal with.
For that reason. It msy have
tendency to shake the south s hither
to unswerving support of the New
Deal.

Farley postmasters "who have satis
factory records," that Is "sstlsfactory"
to Mr, Parley.
Its fate in the senate Is problemat
ical. As a rule, however, senators
usually leave these appointments to
house members on the theory they
are in closer touch with local needs.
Ths real reason Is thst, for each per
son mads happy by a postmasters!. lp,
a dozen or so enemies are mads.
Consequently, many are not loathe
to give Parley this power.
The official Justification Is that the
bill will increase the civil service
efficiency of the service. It msy, but
It will also increase the political effi
ciency of Mr. Parley.
The Oreen craftsmen of the A. P. of
L. have discovered that their foe,
John Lewis, got a preferred position
out of the Wagner Labor Act. They
are crowding congressmen In behalf
of the Dies-Walsh amendment (which
they wrote) to correct the situation.
A somewhat strenuous lobbying
struggle is In progress backstage.
It seems the Oreen men did not
discover the Lewis coup until April 6,
Just before the supreme court upheld
the act In a surprise decision. At
least they made no objection to the
original wording of the act, permit
ting the labor board to select either
their craft unit or any other appro
priate unit for collective bargaining
under majority rule. They were prob
ably not suspicious at that time be
cause the Lewis bresk had not then
developed.
Now they find that the bill, which
they fought for, gives the Lewis In
dustrial untt a chance to outvote
the smaller A. F. of L. craft units In
collective bargaining elections. The
Lewis units, covering a whole indus
try, are naturally likely to be larger
than the craft units, covering only
the craft workers In each Industry.
The amendment they are now
pushing, the Dies-Walsh bill, would
require the labor board to recognize
the craft unit. It says:
"In any case where a majority of
the employees of a particular craft
shall so decide, the board shall desig
nate such craft as a unit appropriate
for the purposes of collective bsr
gaining." Fundamentally, It Is a struggle be
tween Oreen and Lewis for control
of the board, and Just now Lewis
seems to hsve the edge.
Congressmen have been moved by
the budget situation, but not very
much. The house hearings on the
CCC camp appropriations, for in
stance, Indicate there are still a few
congressmen who prefer the printing
press to the bond embossing machine.
No real economy moves have been
attempted. The tendency for weeks
has been to sit down snd swalt de
livery of President Roosevelt's revised
budget estimates. Three of the ten
annual appropriation bills still are
in early legislative stages (agriculture.
Interior and war) and only one
(independent offices) has passed
both houses of congress.
There Is, therefore, time for econ
omizing on nine-tenths of next year's
appropriation bills, but th inclina
tion Is lacking.

Know that w have in this part of
Oregon on of th most beautiful
trees that the Creator has made. I
lived near God Hill for 14 years with
out making this discovery, but after
living for several years In southern
California where I saw many Import
ed species It at last broke on my In
telligence thst I had been living
almost tinder the boughs of a most
desirable tree, but didn't have sens
enough to know t.
When we set a tree In our yard It
is not for the lumner it msy yield
som day. probably not for Its fruit,
out for beauty and shade. The best
..pecles I saw In California for these
two purposes wss the pepper tree.
But the pepper tree drops dirt all
th year around, a feature not very
desirable on the lawn.
But we have a tree here which Is
equally beautiful, snd makes even
a denser shade. It drops a lot of
tiash for about two months, only.
And when It blossoms it has the pep
per tree badly beaten for beauty and
adds a most delightful odor. Again.
In the fall, Its berries of scarlet, con
testing with the glossy green of Its
leaves, rivals the fruit-laden orange
for beauty, Its leaves being a nearly
perfect replica of the orange leaf
though more than twice Its size
My readers have probably guessed
the species to which I refer, the
mountain aurel, or madrons. I wish
to locate the finest specimen and
have It put on a colored postcard.
The finest one of which I have know
lodge Is on the J. B. Short rsnch (for
merly owned by Ous Peck.) It mes
sures 13 feet. 1 Inch around th
trunk and has a spread of branches
55 feet by 57' ft. Its form Is about
perfect, and stands close to the road.
It will soon be In bloom, a sight
worth seeing. Can any reader tell
me where to find a finer specimen?
