such, and make no secret of the

newspaper desires to know; "do you,
or do you not subscribe to the doc
trines of sour two supporters?" An

"Once In a while (not so often

as a commonwealth, do some
thing extremely sensible. In one
of these fortunato moments of
aberration we took the election
of the Judges of our higher
courts out Of politics Insofar
aa we were able and now are
free to vote for a candidate In
the primaries without first hav
ing to check carefully upon his
political label."

THE DALLES May 13. (API
Ocorge Bauer, 1, student at th
Whmier Junior hlgn school, was In
s hospital today for observation sf-
rer swallowing an open anfety pin.
The pin slipped down his throat
when he turned to talk to a friend
on a school bus.
XITHY' doesn't the'League of , Nations call it a 'day and
v jirlimirn sin diet ' .'.'"
We can' see no earthly good served by its continuance, and
if there are many 'more meetings like the one yesterday, there is
danger of the.League doing groat harm, to the world.
For no League of Nations at all, is far better than a League
that plays the hypocrite, and violates its fundamental faith,
And that is what the League did yesterday regarding
Ethiopia, : .
TPHE League was founded upon the determination to maintain
7 world peace and its two cardinal principles were:
The protection of weak nations against the strong.
' The crushing of AGGRESSIVE wars of conquest.
" Italy violated both these principles. With no excuse but the
lust of conquest Mussolini invaded Ehiopia, slaughtered thou
sands of its defenseless inhabitants, and took over that country,
by the right of superior strength and force.'
Thanks to' the leadership and forceful idealism of Anthony
Eden, the League did invoke sanctions against Italy, for a time.
But League support was half hearted and with the downfall of
Eden even this pretense of opposition wag abandoned.
' Ex-Emperor Haile Selassie, brought the issue up squarely
before .the League: council yesterday, and to the everlasting
shame of that body a majority of its members declared in favor
of Mussolini and against the rightful king. Bather than further
incur the enmity of Fascist Italy, the League frankly bowed
to the superiority of might over right 1 ' 1
WOW, we are cot saying such action was not in accord with
' realistic politics, and probably in accord also with the
exigencies of the new balance of power in Europe. With Eng
land and France insisting upon recognition of II Duce's con
quest, the League obviously could do no less than follow along
with the world powers that formed and control it.
'.. . But we ARE saying that when a League of Nations any
League formed to advance the cause of world peace, pledged
to oppose wars of oonquest and maintain the rights of weaker
nations against the stronger, abjectly fails to do any of these
things, and becomes the medium through which war-like nations
return to the old balance of power, in preparation for another
world holocaust, the TIME HAS ARRIVED TO QUIT,
. Ring down the curtain, the play is played out. The only
ray of sunshine in the circumambient gloom, is the refusal of
Secretary of State Hull, to follow suit, rather slight consola
tion when one considers the only world power willing to stand
up for the principles of the League is the one power that refused
to join it I '
Is Politics in Relief?
EPRESENTATIVE BACON'S amendment to "decentralize"
federal relief was squashed in the House yesterday by a
vote of 106 to 39.

today are proclaiming this outcome, as a body blow to good
government, have analyzed the proposal at all 1

DRIEFLT Mr. Bacon's idea was this. For every dollar donat-
- ed for relief by the government the state would donate
cents. In return for this contribution, the state, not the
government, would determine how, where and whe the federal
money should be spent.
Wifh the assistance of bi-partisan, state boards, "politics
would thus be taken out of relief .and relief, out of polities I"
Vory pretty. .
BUT WOULD it
.Tllfit. tMnlr that nXTAf ftr a wnmnnt
Does. anyone suppose that there would be no politics in
roliof, if the state of Pennsylvania, or Illinois, or Louisiana, or
Now York, were given millions of federal money, to do with as
its state "non-partisan board" might wish, the government
that donated the money, having nothing to say as to how its
money should be spent t
Those who would answer in the affirmative are certainly
pretty trusting souls, unfamiliar with the history of political
government and methods, in the states of this country, up to
present moment.
'
AND if federal relief were further decentralized, as others
have proposed and government money with no strings
attached handed over to the municipalities, HOW pure and
non-political would be the distribution in Greater Manhattan,
Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and other Ameri
can metropolit
Think that over, too, in view of human nature and the facts.
1VIILLIONS mind you turned over to the larger city govern
ments, by Uncle Sam with no strings attached, to be
distributed as that local government, through its non-partisan
board might dictate.
Can't you see just how non-partisan that board would be,
and how completely all local relief would be divorced from
politics! It's absurd on ita face.
'T'HIS column, of course, would like to see ALL POLITICS
removed from relief. But regardless of the party in power,
as long as federal relief has to be carried on, on a large scale,
we never expect to see such an ideal realized.
As far as it CAN be realized however, it is this eolumn's
tirm conviction, that the Roosevelt, administration through
Director Harry Hopkins has administered relief as NEAR to a
non-political and non-partisan basis, as is humanly possible.
The fly in the ointment has been, NOT in the character of
fsderal administration, but state and local distribution. not
what federal officials have done, but what city and state
BOSSES ,gve done, with the federal funds at their disposal.
Repeatedly Harry Hopkins has told relief workers and the
country, that political affiliations must not be considered in
any way and as far as the government is concerned, are not
considered. Hut as Alsop and Kintner in this papers "Column
Left" brought out yesterday--the Guffeys and Kellys, and Me
Olosekeys in the state of Pennsylvania, can't be controlled.
And yet the Baoou amendment would give these state bosses.
MORE control over the expenditure of federal relief funds
instead of less.
It's another one of those propositions that listens well but

In any sound reduction regimen, pro
vided the overweight Individual la
not forbidden by his or her physician
to take exerclae, for some special rea
son. Systematic general exercise of
any kind makes one who la too fat

the girth rate and other measure
ments, but haa little effect on weight.
Muscle, It must be remembered, la
heavier than fat although It takes up
lesa room. Thousanda of young men
who entered training camps during
the World War, from office or other
sedentary Jobs, lost several Inches
In girth and became distinctly more
slender while gaining an average of
13 pounds weight In a few months
of physical training.

One excellent reducing exerclae I
can recommend from theory AND
experience. The directions are simple:
When the dessert la coming on you
push yourself back from the table.
Now no one la fonder of dessert than
I am, if It la sour cherry pie or double
chocolate frozen pudding. Yet, If
I had to renounce forevermore my
pipe, my bowls or my pie or pudding,
I'd be in s pretty serious predica
ment Seriously, though, it la no
great self-denial for a lad or lasa who
has Just stoked In a good square
meal to toddle along without piling
another meal right on top of It. I
am speaking now of the mature adult
who Is a bit overweight or Inclined
that way. This doea not apply to
youngsters who get plenty of exerclae
every day, nor to any child under
eighteen.
. Besides tbs physical benefit the
undernourished may derive from this
exercise and the moral benefit that
accrues from any aelf-dlsclpllne, there
Is the greater good one can do with
the tidy sum one saves by abstaining
from dessert.
Another bsbit or custom which
now prevails In the fsr west snd de
serves adoption In the east, Is the
serving of salad before the entree or
main course of the meal. Thlr 1
the time for all big eatera who do
not earn their bread by the aweat of
their brow to dally with greens and
raw vegetables and relishes and to
give their teeth, gums snd Jaws a bit
of much needed exercise.- Before the
main course Is the time to lay in the
roughage and bulk, not after the
roast, at least for the - overstuffed.
Mslnounshed adults of forty or more
who carry a ten per cent handicap
snouia concentrate on ' the salad
course because It supplies or should
supply the vitamins and minerals
they particularly need.

but nobody can get out, or In, and
they remain open even when It la

something as lavish as a motion pic

scribe what a really unbelievable

cannot tarnish or rust. It Is built
of blue glass bricks. Imported from
