Mrs. Roosevelt and Snow White A FEW dayg ago a correspondent to the Oregonian, called that excellent journal "reactionary." The Oregonian minced no words in its reply. It called the correspondent a liar. Now it is probably our imagination, but ever since then the Oregonian has seemed to be, editorially speaking, oven less open to such an impeachment than usual, in other words more enlightened and tolerant, politically, than is its custom. Its stand on this red-baiting hocus-pocus, under the direction o Congressman Dies, for example, has been particularly sane and refreshing. Even more than that, it now not only scores the Dies com mittee but it bursts forth with what relatively speaking amounts to a EULOGY for a member of President Roosevelt's immediate family I That's NEWS indee" MRS. ROOSEVELT is the recipient. We don't refer to the statement that Eleanor is "worth all the rest of the Roosevelt family together," (with a know ledge of the Oregoninn's opinion of the rest of the family, that might even be termed damning with fuint praise) but to the following vigorous resentment occasioned by the statement of Dr. J. M. Matthews that Mrs. F. D. R. is, or has been, a d'ipe of the U. S. communists : The nation would aa soon auapect Snow White. Mre. Roosevelt hasn't a vlctoua or subversive thought or emotion. Not one will be found In her memoirs, her speeches, her articles, her columne or her ceaseless Journeylngs. To accuse this bountiful and warm-hearted first lady of being manipulated from Moscow la an affront to common sense and good taste." "Amen!" say we. But, we wonder if the Oregonian, in its zeal to say some thing good about a member of the Roosevelt family, hasn't been guilty of missing the point, as well as the proper metaphor. DR. MATTHEWS did NOT say Mrs. Roosevelt had been engaged directly or indirectly in communistic activities. He did not suggest she has pr ever had a vicious or subversive thought or emotion. What ho did say, and all he said, was that she had been the innocent victim of communistic manipula tion and propaganda, she had been led to believe she was aiding the cause of hunianitarianism when in reality she was lending her prestige and influence to some undercover com munistic scheme. As we recall it, Miss Shirley Temple was accused of the same indiscretion; entirely innocent of course, but showing the insidious and contemptible methods of these "alien and treacherous" Bolsheviks. NOW to adopt a rather hackneyed phrase of the politicoa this paper "yields to NO ONE" in its admiration and affection for Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt. She is a fine person in every way, as kindly, public spirited, worthy, as anxious to do good as any First Lady ever to grace the White House. Moreover, wo entirely agree this nation would as soon suspect "Snow White" of any wrong doing or any impropriety as it would suspect the charmingly gracious and tireless Eleanor. But with her as with Snow White we would not be at all surprised to learn that Mrs. Roosevelt had, as the eminent doctor states, been made the dupe of plausible and beguiling communists, since she came to Washington. It would be surprising in fact if a woman of her charming naivete and strong altruistic impulses had not been, for she is at once sympathetic with nny movement to help the underdog, and that is the orthodox approach of the red propagandist. OP course we don't KNOW anything about it. Neither we imagine does the Oregonian, for the evidence to sustain various statements before this Dies committee has not been made public. But we DO feel the Oregonian, in this particular instance comes close to pounding the stuffing out of a straw-man of its own creation, when it defends Mrs. Roosevelt from a charge that was never made, and then refutes the charge that was made, that sho has been the dupe of Communists by declaring one might as well suspect a similar indiscretion, from that de lightful figment of Walt Disney's imagination, the sweet and guileless Snow White. For isn't Snow White precisely tho type of young woman that would iio duped by some wily Russian propagandist? And isn't Mrs. Roosevelt, in a very different way, ALSO the type. In fact in the mind's eye we can just see Kleanor being com pletely enthralled by the bright young men at tho Soviet em bassy and impulsively approving of this or that, without once suspecting, until a day or two afterward, that there was any thing sinister or designing about it. TTMUS, we admit, is nil conjecture. But it will be interesting to cheek up on the evidence and find if this shot in the dark hasn't hit fairly close to the bul'.seye. However on tho main proposition, of its being INEXCUS ABLE to drag the iiaine of Mrs. Roosevelt into ANY commu nistic probe by congress and that this Dies imiuiry, to date, lias been nothing more than ANOTI1KR witch-burning seance which will create sympathy for the radicals rather than con demnation ; the Oregonian is entirely right, nnd we agree with Portland's great daily on.1 bundled and two percent, a sensa tion as rare as it is pleasing. Is Peace Near In China? QPF.AKING of rtd activities mid purges, this announcement t hut (leneralissimo Phinnff Kai-shek has dissolved all com immistic organizations behind the front, may mark the heirin ninjf of the end as far ns Uiinese resistance to .lapan is con cerned. For it in certain that without liiiNsian assistance, China can't hold out much longer, and it is eiimlly certain that Russia only enr'g for the extension of coniinunism to China and liothiuc n ..nut China per c, so if this pronouncement means what it says, then this assistance won't be forthcoming, much longer. Itefore the Japanese invasion China was fihtinp the Reds. Hut when this threat of national onnihilation loomed. Reds and Whites in China joined in a common cause against the armed horde of Nippon. Now it looks us though this united front had broken. If this is true, and Chinese Reds have started borinir from within, then peace in China, with .Inpan dictating the terms can't, we fear, he delayed for long.

SO VOD NEED A man 68 years of age writes. In closing s neatly addressed envelope without s stamp on It, And his name Is not Bandy either, that he was startled by something Z said here about the man without teeth. What I said about the man without teeth was that the re sult .of sating 4v without teeth Is iniiai ous ae v e 1 o p m e nt of "stomach trouble," malnutrition, ane mia, premature physical decline, early old age and disability. It would pay such a man to select a competent dentist, have teeth made he can wear, and wear them for eating. Startle is the right word for what I hoped to do. Not astonish nor frighten nor alarm. To startle Is to cause to start. Start for the den tor's office. That's what I hoped to do. The correspondent assures me he is 68 years old. has not had any teeth for the past five years. He does not bolt his food at all, but crushes It thoroly (presumably be fore eating) except meat which he. cut into one-half Inch pieces. He drinks a quart of milk dally he dors not say how long he has done so; 1 wonder whether a person who has taken at least a quart of milk dally, or its equivalent in .butter, cheese, various dishes containing milk, would ever lose all of his teeth at any age. The correspondent further declares he Is not consti pated (which la immaterial, so far as nutrition and health are con cerned), that he practices belly breathing and takes his lodln ration regularly, even ... No matter how many other rec ommendations of mine ho follows, it doesn't compensate for the loss of teeth. Yet the correspondent declares that up to the present time he feels all right, and he asks, face- i tlously. whether there Is anything hiding tn the closet ready to Jump , out at him for golnff without his j teeth? If so. will I please tell him, so that he may run out and buy a set. After All, It appears that as a health teacher I am a fair to mid dling lawn bowler.

(AP) Olaf Swenson, famed Arctic fur merchant, was found dead todav In the office of his fur Rtore. a rifle nearby.

Nine hid lost lives In attempt I 2fy r?i The Capital Parade (Continued from Page One.) The New Dealers badly need the weapon In their struggle with the conservative machines of the Demo cratic pArty. With Elcher for their ally, they can use the investigation as s two-edged sword. And there is no doubt that they will. But that is not the only reason why the Elcher apointment will be distressing to conservatives. The SEC place to which he succeeds was fir held by Joseph P. Kennedy. Later, it was given to Hanes. And since Hanea went to the treasury as assist ant secretary, it has been widely supposed that the place would be filled by another man of the same kidney. Ie has been said that the SEC needs the technical advtce -jf a man acquainted with the ways of Wall street. It has been argued that there are enough liberals on the SEC. Elcher meets nono of these speci fications. He gained his first etature as the utilities holding company act's chief defender in the house interstate commerce committee. He acted as the SEC's house manager for the Maloney act and the rest of Its recent program. He Is an agrar iin progressive, with a lively sui rleion of Wall street and all It: works. His appointment Indicates how little the president cares, theie days, for conciliating the conserva tive element. The chances are that Elcher will continue connected with the antt monopoly committee, although not as a congressional member. SEC Commissioner Jerome N. Frank is about to be appoin'd to the District of Columbia circuit, court of appeals, and that will leavo the committee seat vacant. The Frank appointment, it may be added, 1a another evidence of tie president's leftward Inclination. At torney General Homer 8. Cummlngs fought the appointment tooth and nail. Other administration conserv otlves did what they could. Yet, Frank was gazetted for the Job. Once more, there may perhaps be a slip, but Frank's name Is to be one of the first sent to the new congress for confirmation. And the men now being mentioned to succeed Frank at tho SEC are no more pleasing than Elcher to conservatives. To return to the antl-monopoiy investigation, the efforts to moder ate its fervor still continue. Prentiss L. Coonley, the genjal llason man sent to Washington by AverlU Harrl man of the business advisory coun cil, was briefly disconcerted by the publicity given his quiet little din ners of New Dealers and big busi ness men. Far from losing heart, however, he has laid out much more eln borate plans, and now hopes to bring the heads of most of the oig gest corporations in the country to Washington to meet the anti-monopolists. The political situation being what It Is, it doesn t seem llkelj, that Coonley will succeed. But, for that, time must tell. AR WARNS BOURBONS PORTLAND, Aug. 24.
