The Great Game of Half Truths ONE of the leading anti-Roosevelt papers on the coast ob serves that France has now followed the leadership of fiermany nnd Italy, "M. Deladier joins hands with Mussolini and Hitler in the unholy bonds of dictatorship." It is really amazing how much loose thinking there is today regarding dictatorship, just what it is, and what it isn't. Fundamentally there is no more truth to this statement than there was to the statement, by the same paper, that if the administration's reorganization bill were to pass, this country would go Fascist. BUT such a statement "listens well," superficially there arc facts to support it. And that's enough in politics for cer tain representatives of the fourth estate. President Roosevelt asked for more power, (in an effort to increase executive efficiency and really prevent any sort of totalitarian government) so he suffers from a Hitler-Mussolini complex, nnd if American institutions are to be preserved must he slnpped in the face, and put in Ins place. By practically a unanimous makes Premier Deladier a dictator for 100 days, privileged to run the country by decree, until the end of July, and if possible solve that country's serious financial problems, labor troubles, and the'eritical matter of "self defense." SO, France goeH Fascist, and M. Deladier, abandoning democ racy, hooks up with Stalin, against Hitler and Mussolini, in the holy bonds of dictatorship! 7KLL, what's wrong with Merely this: Mussolini seized supreme power, by marching on Rome with his black shirts. Hitler seized power, by a similar show of strength with his brown shirts. as the result of a bloody revolution, and has maintained his power since by terrorism and force. There is all the difference done in Russia, Italy and GVimany, and what is being done in Franco today, all the difference between a dictatorship im posed by force, and a people deliberately choosing a dictatorial form, to bridge an emergency, without abandoning any essential principle of its democratic government. THE latter is what has transpired in France. Even the com munists and syndicalists voted for this Deladier dictator ship. Even in radical labor circles, there was no effective opposition to it. In fact those who know their French 'history, know there is nothing new or startling in this adoption of a 100 day autoc racy. In the essentials it doesn't differ from the sort of emer gency government set up, shortly after tho declaration of war against Germany in lUH, and at many critical times before. THE French are above all n practical, logical, realistic people. They are not deluded by catch words or scared by horroiil'ic symbols. They go to the essence ot things. 1 ney uon i can what a form of government may be called, they realize their country faces one of the most serious crises in its history, and they know that making one man responsible and giving him extraordinary powers, is the I'cst way to surmount it. Rut make no mistake. Tho power tlocs not rest with that one man. He is merely the representative of parliament. The rower remains with the French people through their represen tatives in parliament, and if Deladier siiouitl inner meie wonm be no hesitancy in exercising it. SO obviously France has NOT followed the leadership of Italy and Germany, Deladier has NOT joined Hitler and Musso lini in the unholv bonds of dictatorship. But with the superficial facts make such a charge. And if of a political campaign and happened to have this question as a burning issue, how easy it would he tor the paper in hicm.m and its equally influential contemporaries to make the people DEI.IF.VF.it! Pardon Dr. Townsend! IK are surprised that President Roosevelt left it to Senator T McAdoo of California to urge a pardon for Dr. Francis Iv Townsend instead of issuing one the supreme court upheld th senlence. Of course Dr. Townsend made a serious mistake when he walked out on a house committee becanso ho thought its menu hers had insulted him. lint it was a natural one for this well meaning old gentleman from Long Beach. And the power and dignity of congress were amply vindicated when its power to punish for contempt was sustained by the highest court. GROTESQUELY impracticable as it was, the old-age pension movement started by Dr. Townsend did more to hasten old-age insurance and security than all the reports and treatises of social workers and college professors in 50 years. It is due largely to him that this country is catching up with Eng land and vther progressive European nations in dealing intelli gently with the tragedy of "disregarded age, in corners thrown." We hope Mr. McAdoo's request for a pardon is promptly I'Ninlcd and believe that it will be. San Francisco News. W K t'nn't believe tho Snn Kranoisoo NVws i as naive as the above makes it appear. for reelect ion nnd lias a bard f iirlit on bis bands, lie wants that Townsend vote (and bow!) and this request for a panlon may cive it to bitu. The President is always generous" to bis loyal supporters, and no doubt on request allowed his old pal in the Wilson cabinet, to et the credit instead of inking it himself. iMUi FACE LIFE TERMS T A COM A.

Kven the Bird In A woman reports, to-wlt: I have been taking Irradiated yeast tablets for several months. I have had very satisfactory results and now find life worth living. Constipation haa all left since taking them. Also have been taking your lodln ration. Used to be stiff In the Joints on de fending stairs. Now that has cleared up and I'm as chipper as a sparrow. My hair has stopped falling after many months of worry about approach-' lng baldness. I also give the family dog his nip of lodln since you told about taking a nip with your dog Tony the Wlrlsh Terror and even a tiny bit to the bird In his gilded cage. The dog doesn't shed his hair all the time now, only at the proper time, and he has become lively and playful ago In. The bird sings all the time, even while he moults they usually stop singing at that time. Stop, stop, you re breaking my heart, next thing wo hear you'll be trying lodln on the fleas on the tall of the dog . . . At that, It is not as well known as It should be that in the state of Michigan for many years sheep raising was a failure because of the poor growth of wool. Then the farm era began giving their sheep an lodln ration and then the sheep began giv ing tho fnrmers a profitable wool crop. Just where docs the Irradiated yeast come In? That Is the most agreeable nnd most economical form of sun shine vitamin D: the dried pasteur ized brewer's yeast la the richest natural source of vitamins B and O to begin with; irradiation of a select ed strain of the yenst with ultraviolet rays of a certain wave-length converts ergosterol In the yeast Into vlosterol, which Is vitamin D. Vitamin D la essential for normal calcium and phosphorous metabolism In the body. Experimentally the hedgehog or woodchuck In hlberna- i tlon snaps out of It regardless of the season or weather If given a good dally ration of vitamin D for a few days. Vitamin D controls the func tion of the thyroid and parathyroid Comment on the Day's News Hy FRANK JKNKINS QPENDING a lot of money (espec- .w miiy someooay cisea money) is always a thrilling prospect, and this quite Insignificant writer would like nothing better than to be able to throw up his hat and yell himself hoarse with approval of the Presi dent's scheme to prime the pump nAln. But caution ures otherwise. THIS thought arises: For live years, we've been on the wildest spending spree jver In dulged In since 'tho world began. It bos brought us a headache. If we go on another spending spree, will It bring us another and WORSE headache? , YOU'VE seen people go on a big drunk, feel like a million dol lars for a while, but wake up In the morning with a throbbing head ond a bad taste. Did you ever see EVEN ONE PER SON get himself back onto his feet snd into the good graces of his bank and his business associates by going on ANOTHER DRUNK? YOU'VE seen men mortgage the old home farm and spend money like drunken sailors Tor things they didn't really nerd. Did you ever see EVEN ONE MAN get baok the money to pay off the mortgage by going cn with his spend ing spree? Probably not. But you've seen a tot of them GO BROKE trying It. THIS thought fairly smacks one In the face: When you've spent too much mon- j er for thing you didn't really need and could have got along without very nicely, the way to stay solvent Is to QUIT SPENDING and 0 to working hard and saving up. WE'VE primed tht pump, and It has RUN DOWN. Water refuse to siish forth freely and without ef fortas we'd hoped and the pollt'.cl had promised And were getting thttatv. Maybe, after all.

Vitamins D and O seem to promote normal growth of the nails, and persons with ridged brittle, or pitted nails should sea to It that they get an adequate daljy ration of these vitamins. It la by no means positively established as yet, but In my opinion vitamins B, O and O promote the growth of the hair too. Therefore I believe Mrs. B'a story has a grain of truth In It.

Communications Wants Large Old Age Pensions To the Editor: It Is conceded by all congressmen that this congress will not pass H. R. 4109, the General Welfare Act. It Is also conceded that no national old- age pension will pass. AH admit that the Social Security Act, while a step In the right direction, is wholly In adequate and only takes care of the old people through assistance in oth er words through charity. It will take at least two years before con gress ever passes an adequate old-age pension bill. In tho meantime, Ore gon can pass a decent old-age pen sion. Petitions are In circulation to place on the ballot this fall, a bill known as tho Citizens' Retirement Annuity act. This will give the old folks In Oregon over age 65, a decent old age pension and It can be abol ished when a national bill Is passed, the same os all other stato bills will be abolished. It la financed by a 2 per cent transaction tax and this money is placed in an ear-marked fund for the old folks and paid out pro rata each month. The money must be spent In Oregon each month, so It will stimulate business. It Is not money thot makes prosperity, but the circulation of money. A $20 bill spent 100 times in Oregon does $2000 worth of business. While a $20 bill left In the bonk to draw Interest at 2 per cent does 40c worth of damage In the way of Increasing 40c more debt. Any merchant will gladly give 2 per cent discount for cash. If each dollar transaction paid 2c Into an old age pension fund and this were paid out to all old people when arriving at age 65 with the provision that they quit all gainful pursuits and spent the money In Oregon, do you suppose any man In business would object to such an arrangement? It would buy him a retirement annuity at age 65 the same os all his custom era and when we secure a national bill that will do likewise, we can abolish the state law and take the national in Its place. When the states proceed along this line, congress will take note and make It national. ffi-BERT EASTMAN. 609 Couch Bldg. Portland. Oregon. ! launch Pe trover KEARNEY. N. J. April 16.

"Mr. Van Loon will be down In a moment,' she says. She pro nounces It "Van Loan." You enter. She leaves you to go upstairs for a reconnalas a n c e. She returns and reports: "He la GEORGE 1UCKR dressing." You wait. From the windows of their home you see rolling Connecti cut countryside and the waters of Greenwich Cove, an Inlet of Long Island sound. A guest descends and announces: "He is shaving." You say, "Thank you." You let your eyes wander about the walls where repose landscapes In water color painted by a Dutch friend of Mr. Van Loon. Another guest descends the stairs. As an after thought, he says: "He Is looking for a collar button." You wait. A fishing boat Is putting out into the bay. Some boys In a shallop are playing around one of the docks. They have lost au oar and are trying to get it back. A dachshund waddles down the 3talrs. Ho probably would like to say: "He Is combing his hair;" Instead takes cognizance of the room, sub mits to a friendly ear-scratching, and collapses on a rug. Mrs. Van Loon goes up stalrB for another reconnaissance. She comes back down and announces: "He Is tying his tie." "The fishing boat is a wee speck on the edge of the bay. The boys In the shallop have suc ceeded In recapturing the oar. Suddenly the dachshund starts up. The guesls throw up their heads. You hear massive footsteps. The stalra creak. A ponderous figure, like a moving boulder, enters the room. It is Van Loon. It Is not polite to ask a man how much he weighs, but you easily ascer tain that he Is six feet, two-and-one-half inches tall. Under smoothly combed hair and a wide brow, big brown eyes peer out over glasses. Not through them. His movements are slow; his voice growly. He Is a very big man. He is also a monopolist, taking charge of the conversation and filling the air with a staccato of quips, jokes, pertinent observations. For a while no one can talk. His wife, whom he calls "Jimmy," looks pained. She tells him: "But those Jokes are so old; I heard them from my grandfather." What his answer to this would j nave oecn will never be known. For at thot moment dinner was an nounced. And dinner, as I pointed out in the opening paragraph, was why we were all there.

Pierce, will the federal surplus commodities corpor ation ship potatoes from Klamath Falls to the Desqhutes region or ap ples to Roseburg. Writing constituents here. Pierce said he had taken steps to stop re lief shipments of such products as potatoes and apples from one com peting; area Into another. "I had previously protested to the federal surplus commodities corpora tion when they shipped apples to Roseburg. which was already glutted with apples produced locally." wrote Pierce In comment upon the transfer of a carload of potatoes from Klamath Falls to the fertile potato region of Bend. "I learned at that time thot this federal organization buys produce where there is a surplus and desperate need of having the market cleared. The federal organization gives these products to the state relief commit tee, which has an employe whose duty it Is to make distribution of the pur chases. ' "The rules governing that distri bution are perfectly clear but be cause of mishandling and abuse, a new circular was Issued. White House, and poking other wasp's nests. Then, in the wage-hour fight, he Is said to have given private aid and comfort to the enemies of the bill. In the row over reorganization, he let It be privately known thot he fa vored the drastically restrictive Wheeler amendment, although hi? friendship for the bill's sponsor. Senator James F. Byrnes, of South Carolina, prevented his taking an active part. And so It has gone. The Garner method of poking a wasps' nest Is simple and effective. He makes no speeches. He never has made many. He Just talks to his friends. As a man. he Is immensely charming, with his Texas wit hlii air of being a plump nnd sleepy ! man, and his genial manner. 1 Moreover, his private office, which he usually describes os the "bureau j of education" has a closet well stocked with soothers for Senators When he asks a Senator to have n soother, he soys, "come, let's strike a blow for liberty" a phrase origi nating In the prohibition days. With hia soothers, his geniality, and, above all, the Immense author ity of his shrewd wisdom, he can do a powerful Job of persuading. The i bureau of education Is frequently very educational. j He plans to try his persuasion against the president's new spend- I lng program. He has told his cronies that his attitude on spending hasn't changed and won't change. He has let It be known he will fight. And so the voice on the Senate floor will be the voice of Harry P. Byrd. of Virginia, but the restraining hand In the cloakroom will be the hand of Garner. The chances an? ten to one that he will lose, but losing will make him fight Again, and more furiously, on other Issues.
