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

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

In the body. Experimentally the

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

Maybe, after all. It would be hettei
to quit printing the pump and roll
up our s! reeves, spit on our hands
and ijo dig another and BETTER well

burghfar from It. The recipe la
pronounced quite satisfactory by
some men and women who have
used It, quite disappointing by others.
No harm to try It anyway. Put a

of a kernel of corn In a pint of ordi
nary tea, preferably black tea. Mois
ten the hair with this daily.
Sulphur
For years my husband haa taken
daily as much sulphur as will fill a
three-grain capsule. Ho Insists it
does nlm good. Will It do him any
harm? (Mrs. W. J. K.)
Answer Leave the poor boy alone.
It Is quite harmless. But he gets as
much sulphur as that from his daily
ration of cheese, egg, beans, plain
wheat, wheat bran, wheat germ. peas,
peanuts, lean beef, oatmeal, mustard,
etc.

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.

Manhattan
By OUOKUB TUCKER
NEW YORK Hendrik Wlllera Van
Loon, geographer, historian, and
chronicler of the arts, Is expecting
a dinner guest,
His wife greets
you at the door.
"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.

POTATOES TO BEND
SAYS REP. PIERCE
THE DALLES. April 16. UP -No
more, believes Rep. 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

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.
