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.

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

reader has adopted aa sound and
sensible my suggestion of belly

that the evidence that these meth

Hlnes (it Is alleged) saw to It that
they weren't punished for their evil

How did that come about?
Well, It came about because over
a long period of time Tammany Hnll
had TOO MUCH political power and
TOO LITTLE successful opposition.
That Is a combination that always
brings trouble sooner or later.
T'HE best thing' any political or

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,

Yon know it's the STEADY
driver that covers ground.
Not the erratic speeder that
usually fusses around.
That kind will pass you
often, at a terrific clip.
But be far behind you at the
end of the trip.
And speaking of those doing
the steady driving,
Just notice the Cheviolets
that are first in arriving!
Due to solid comfort all are
as fresh as a daisy,
No fighting the wheel till
the driver's near crazy.
