Will There be War?
ONE can. only guess concerning the situation in the Far

This "incident" on the Manehoukuo border, for example,

IF THE Japanese version is correct, that Soviet Russia, after
fortifying the border, attacked Japanese troops, both by
land and air, then this incident means war between Russia
and Japan, a war that, inevitably will spread over Europe.
For unless Russia decided Japan is nearing victory over
China and the time to strike is before her conquest is com
plete, Stalin would hardly have taken such an offensive.
On the other hnnd, if the
Japan took the initiative, then
will have no more serious consequences than a score of like
incidents in the same region,

How About
FOR several days there has been a grapevine rumor in Med
ford, that even the inadequate railroad service now enjoyed,
is to be abandoned, that "when winter comes" there will
He no pnssengcr transportation in or out, except by motor bus.
According to our information from Southern Pacific sources,
this report is entirol.v unfounded, the company has no inten
tion of abandoning its mil pnssenger service via the Rogue
Valley route.
Well, we hope the latter version is correct. But the report
brings into sharp relief, a distressing but undeniable fact,
namely,
That the railroad problem, not only here in southern Oregon,
but throughout the country, is extremely serious, and becom
ing more serious every day.
SOONER or later, the people of this country will have to
docide whether they want the railroads taken over by the
government or remain in private hands, and therefore the
more they study the perplexing problem, the more they learn
about it, the better for all concerned.
And the present is a good time to start.
Meanwhile this much is certain:
If the people DON'T want their government to take oven
and operate the railroads, then they will have to give the rail
roads sufficient support to allow them to operate at a profit,
SOMF. profit. For no industry whether it has to do with trans
portation, timber-cutting,
dure for any length of time when it operates at a loss. There
is a limit, and as far as the railroads are concerned that limit
Iibh about been reached.
On the other hand, if a cheaper and more satisfactory form
of transportation has been developed than the railroads supply,
thon neither the government nor the people can be exrecteel
to subsidize, either directly or throuKh paying excessive rates,
what is in reality an outmoded and antiquated system. Our
railroads, willy nilly, under such circumstances will have to
bow to the inevitable and go
D UT before anyone jumps to the Intter conclusion, they should
delve into the facts. By so doing they will find, we believe,
that tliero is no way to accurately determine what is the
cheapest form of transportation, for they are not operated on
the same basis.
The railroads, for example, are strictly regulated as a nat
ural monopoly, when no business is less a monopoly, has to
meol stiffer competition in the air and on water and land,
through airplanes, ships and motor vehicles of various sorts.
In fact in a certain sense every person who owns an automo
bile competes with the railroad, constantly in passenger traffic,
frequently in freight.
OMVIOUSLiY, as long as railroads are privately owned, they
should not be subject to strict public regulation, on the
assumption they have no competition, when the competition is
of the keenest and most destructive sort.
Nor should the railroads be forced to buy their own rights-of-way,
maintain them, pay huge taxes upon them, and then
be compelled to compete with a rival transportation system,
where the rights-of-way, the maintenance and the taxes are
FA ID BY THE PEOPLE. Yet that is the situation that exists
today in the competition between rail and motor bin service,
the former has to pay it own way, the latter is subsidized to
the tune of literally billions of dollars, both by the government
and the various states,

Then if they ean't provide the service the people WANT
and are willing to pay for (thus operating st a profit), let
them meet the fate that any non-profitable industry under the
profit system must meet EXTINCTION.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE American Bar association,
meeting In Cleveland, reject
about four to one a resolution calling
upon the United States supreme
court for Information as to the eligi
bility of Hugo Black to alt on the
court.
Good for the bar association I ft
vote shows sound judgment and good
Americanism.
HUOO BLACK, cowering In hotel
rooms in fear of discovery of
what he really Is, presented a shame
ful picture a picture that nearly
everyone proud of his country would
like to forget.
But we have him. And. although
he was forced upon us In a moment
of childish pique, there Is no way
to get rid of him. Calling attention
to his shortcomings merely brings up
a painful Incident that would be
better forgotten.
The only thing to do about Black
Is to suffer him In silence.
'T'HE bar association also rejects a
resolution attacking Germany for
discrimination against "law-abldlni;
citizens . . . solely because of their
race, religion or politics! opinions,
which action hss shocked the con
science of msnklnd."
Again good Judgment Is shown.
What Germany does about Ger
mans LIVING IN GERMANY Is none
of our business, snd the less we have
to say about It publicly the better off
we shall be.
If we LOOK OUT FOR OUR
SELVES, we'll have enough to do.
COLD-BLOODED, you say?
Of course it ts. The relation
ships of nations with other nations
are utterly cold-blooded and heart
less, dictated entirely by narrow self-
interest. Anyone who hs followed
world events of the past two or three
years snd still thinks otherwise Is
a sentimental sap.
The thing for us to do is to mind
our own sffalrs. If we don't, well get
our fingers badly burned and will do
nobody any good, besides.
MINDINO his own business is an
exceedingly good way for an
Individual to keep out of trouble.
It Is an equally good way for nations
to keep out of trouble,

president. Because he Is an ally of
the democracy's aamer-Farley wins,
his departure Is longed for with resl
p&sslon by the more ardent New
Dealers. He Is an amiable and canny
old fellow, but the New Dealers would
sell at least a piece of their souls to
see him replaced by Solicitor Robert
H. Jackson.
Another good contender for the
place Is Joseph B. Keenan. the ro
tund, genial, astute fellow who Is
officially Cummlngs' assistant, and
unofficially the new politics! agent
of the White House. But the men
around the president, and, many
think, the president himself, neve
not lost hope of msklng Jsckson the
president's successor. Thus Jsckson
la the better bet.
Cummlngs has long plsyed with
the Ides of getting out. As for Daniel
Cslhoun Roper, Hsrrp H. Woodrlng,
and ClAude Swanson, they are still
very busy smearing glue on their
respective seats, at the commerce de
partment, war department and navy
department. There Is no enmity
toward Swanson. His restgnstlon Is
desired only because, for some time,
he has been too 111 to do his Job.
If he goes. Assistant Secretary Chsrles
Edison, son of the Inventor, la likely
to succeed him.
Getting Dan Roper would probably
give the members of the cabinet
lynching party the most pleasure.
His department hss been allowed to
become en eery wilderness of politics
and Incompetence, In the middle of
which Is Uncle Dan himself, hope
fully repeating that "All Is for the
best In the best of possible worlds.-'
The scheme Is to give Roper's place
to a liberal Catholic, like Gov. Frank
Murphy of Michigan, or to a leading
La Follette Progressive.
As for Harry Woodrlng. he Is a
cheerful little Kansas politician, whose
chief e-!sets are a pretty wife and a
numerous brood of healthy children.
If the lynchers have their way. he
will be replaced by his aslsstant sec
retary, Louis Johnson, loved by the
veterans as a, former Legion com
mander, and by the ardent New
Dealers because he has had the sense
to play In with them.
The motives of the lynching party
are eminently sensible. They want
to take work off the president's
shoulders. And they want to go Into
tne liberal. conservative struggle In
1940 with a strong line-up. But the
odds are heavily against them, and
on the presidential Inertls.

I see that "Babs" is rid of
her Danish Count . . .
Probably settled with him
for a sweet amount!
Now talking about regaining
her citizenship,
Guess she's found that may
be she'd made a slip!
If I had my way, she 'd never
get my vote . . .
Once they "renounce," let
'em stay the goat !
But then, they probably
won't ask my advice,
rell me to stick to my Chev
rolets if I won't be nice!
