Peace at Any Price!
IF today's reports from London are correct, then this column
sticks to its original prediction, there will be no general
war in Europe this year.
For according to these reports, England and France, have
agreed unanimously on a policy of peace at (almost) any price.
They may not be giving Dor Fuehrer all he aaks, but they
are giving him enough to justify his taking his place, among
successful German statesmen, next to the immortal Bismarck.
Like him or detest him, the fact remains,
This neurotic paper-hanger, this ex-Austrian cataleptic cor
poral, with the Austrian anschluss behind him, and now with
the Sudeten portion of Czechoslovakia handed over' to him
virtually on a silver platter, has achieved more for the glory
and growth of the German empire, than any German leader
since 1870.
IT'S incredible, but there it is, if the Anglo-French policy is
correctly reported today, it's true.
And results are what count, in Germany and everywhere
else. They may be achieved by devious, mendacious or even
criminal means, but the fact remains, nothing succeeds like
success.
So, if England and Franc have agreed to the dismember
ment of Czechoslovakia, and if she resists, will not go to her
assistance, Germany may have to crush a valiant little republic,
but like the conflict in Spain that can be done by sheer superi
ority of numbers, without a general war in Europe.
And Der Fuehrer emerges, as the most powerful and the
most feared national figure in all Europe!
But Not for Long
THE above doesn't mean, peace is certain of course. With
Europe in its present state, nothing is certain, nothing
can be. But it does mean a general war in 1938 is highly
unlikely, even more unlikely than it has been for many months
past.
. For unless Hitler is quite mad, he won't try to press his
advantage at the present time. He will take what England and
France offer, and be content, until the present tension eases,
and another opportunity presents itself.
In other words Hitler has everything to gain, and nothing
to lose by going slow. A misstep now, an impulse like the dog
in the fable to grab the bone, might well upset the apple cart,
and he would lose everything he has gained, including no
doubt his head.
Whether Hitler is well balanced enough to realize this
remains to be seen, the next few weeks are certainly fateful
ones for him, and for the world.
Our own guess is he will continue to strut about and boast
and bluff, for home consumption quite as much as for the
edification of his foreign enemies, but be very careful to do
nothing that will make England and France change their
minds, and drag him and his country iuto a general European
war.
A S has been previously stated in this column, Hitler's policy
aa we see it is to avoid a general war, but get everything
he can, while the getting is good, by waging war piecemeal,
and never declaring it.
This has been his policy regarding Spain, and incidentally
he is getting valuable war materials from Spain at the present
time, also his policy regarding Austria, and now it's Szecho-
slovakia. With a foothold in the
he will bide his time until another opening presents itself or
he makes one, and he will take over that country and then
raise his sights to Rumania and perhaps the Ukraine.
This is assuming the Czechs don't fight now, if they do,
then Hitler will claim he has been attacked, the Czechs have
refused to abide by the allied terms, and the country will be
conquired now, with England and France little better thau
accessories.
WHAT a mess, what a messl
With the general appeasement policy in Europe looking
toward a readjustment which will satisfy the "out" at the
expense of the "ins" and avoid a general war, this column
heartily agrees.
But with a Nazi dictatorship on one aide, a Fascist dictator
ship on another, with an unoffending democracy like Czecho
slovakia, crushed between them, we fail to see how eventually
war CAN be avoided, unless democracy in Europe is to end.
If this is true, then far better, have it now, than later I
Beware Mr. Deer Hunter!
SPEAKING of war, the deer hunting season opens tomorrow.
We call it sport, but as far as the door are concerned it's
war, a one-sided war of destruction.
Well this column is not going to oppose the open season
on humanitarian grounds or any other. Let all those who like
to hunt and kill deer do so, hut we wish they would stop
right there.
And this is a word urging them to do so, stop killing
people, men, women and children for deer I
QATURDAY an Oregon woman was killed in northern Cali
fornia when a careless hunter shot at a half hidden target.
How many more innocent lives must be taken and charged up
to criminal carelessness! For that's what it is, CRIMINAL.
And unlike real war the escape is so easy. Nothing is really
needed but common sense, common caution, a decent regard for
others. That's all. Behind practically every fatality in the
deer season is the individual, who is only thinking of HIMSELF
his desire to bag his buck, first, and explain why it wasn't a
buck afterward !
RIOREOVKR the victim of a careless hunter is not the only
one who suffers. Often grief stricken families are left
without their wage earners, and families of those who take lives
however innocently, suffer equally with those whose lives
are taken. As for the careless hunter, even though he may run
away from the law he can never run away from himself, known
or unknown, that sense of guilt will never leave him. And
it 's all so needless I

The Ol Doc must have been ruled

phone call, or a note, or a letter, but
not a telegram. A wire plunks Into
your Imagination. It almost makes a
sound, like throwing a rock from

People send telegrams when they

for the telephone. But they don't
want to say words Into a telephone

Comment

By FRANK JENKINS
THE war clouds hanging over Eu
rope are blacker than at any
time since 1014. By the time these
words are read (ao rapidly have
events moved during the past few
hours) the lightnings of actual war
may be flashing. Or a sudden shift
of the winds that are blowing over
Europe may cause the lowering
clouds to break and drift away at
least temporarily.
At the moment these words are
written, NO ONE knows what may
happen.
A 8 haa been said so often before,
it is a poker game that Is going
on in Europe. The stakes are high.
In Hitler's case, the stakes may be
his whole future, for unless he can
create the Impression at home that
Germany Is making ateady progress
toward what she wanta he may lose
hla political head. No stakes can be
higher than that.
NOBODY believes that Germany Is
ready for war. Few outside Ger
many believe there la any possibility
the Germans can win If they DO go
to war. It I doubtful If even Hit
ler's generals have any part of the
high confidence with which Ger
many's military leaders entered the
last war.
But don't forget this: The DECIS
ION will rest with HITLER.
Hitler Is a mere human, subject
to aU the frailties of human beings.
He may know Just how strong he
Is and Just how weak he Is. He may
know that he CANT AFFORD to go
to war, and may be planning to bluff
to the last moment and then find a
way out that will save hla face.
But at any moment he may lose
hla temper and men do strange and
unaccountable things when they are
angered beyond a certain point. He
may muii too rar ana nave to go
to war to cover up hia mistake.
THE real danger in Europe Ilea In
the fact that ONE MAN HAS
TOO MUCH POWER. That Is why It
is impossible to predict what may
happen In the next few houra.

Indeed, there are unfortunate, sign
that Kennedy Is going th9 way of
Page, James Russell Lowell and the
one or two other American ambassa
dor of whom London hss made
much. Already there are disquieting
reports that he permlta himself
abroad the eame bitter private criti
cism of the administration which he
Indulged In here.
While Kennedy la loved In London,
he Is no longer populsr st the White
House. The president knows of his
private talk, resents it, and rebukes
It when he can. An Interesting In
cident waa that of the news-letters
he used to write from London to his
Intlmatea. Including several newspa
per commentators. The president
got wind of the letters thla spring,
and promptly ordered his recretarlat
to plant a news story, to the effect
thst he was disgusted that his Lon
don ambassador should try to further
his 1040 ambitions by peddling confi
dential Information procured In the
course of hla official duties.

Bullitt la different from Kennedy In
most things. Kennedy was born with
a Boston rough diamond: Bullitt,
with a Phllldelphla golden spoon In

amutng. a magnificent talker. While
Kennedy la a practical conservative.
Bullitt Is a disillusioned leftist. And
while Kennedy Is in bad odor at the
White House. Bullitt could not be
more highly valued.
Of the two. Bullitt Is irobably the
Abler man. tn PYance. ha haa had
a success quite equivalent to Ken

flclsl member of the Blum cabinet,
and today hi, relations with Dalsdler
are almost as close aa were hla ra
latlons with Blum. Because of new
friendships snd old association, he l
an Intense francophile. Just as Ken
nedy la an Anglophile. And his views
on collective security would mske the
Isolationist' hair stand on end.
Taking them together. Bullitt and
Kennedy are probab.lv the best am

in a long time. But the fsct remains
thst. being psrtlssns of the countries
to which they are accredited, they will
bear the most careful watching.

To te Editor:
Inasmuch as Hitler and arttssollni
are painted quite black in America
t should like to daub a bit of white
paint on the canvas in their fav?r.
Hitler saved Germany from Com-
j munism- Re took women from pub
Ho Ufa and told them to stsy noma,
when also the Bible enjoins them
to stay. He alao saved Germany eco
nomically, and haa given her people
work Instead -of deatroylng their vlf
reliance with doles.
Mussolini saved Italy from anarchy
and Communism. He simplified gov
ernment by laying off 42,000 poli
ticians. He stopped all nonsensical
strikes. He also told the gangsters
of Mafia where to head In and there
by brought law and order to Italy.
These men are condemned for their
use of force. But force, and plenty ot
It, Is the only answer to the lawless
ness and crime rampant In the world
today. Rulers cannot be sissies when
the people set out to be devils Incar

time when all democracies will have
to copy their forceful tactics In order
to avert anarchy.

Sept. 10.
J, c. Barnes Explains.
To the Editor: ,
Mr. Iverson hss asked several very
pertinent questions regarding my
proposal to create a supreme curren
cy control court, of nine members,
and a social credit bank to expand
actual money In -circulation to the
end that the purchasing power of
our family units may be Increased.
I will undertake to answer the
questions In the order asked.
The social credit bank will be
strictly a government proposition.
The nine members of the currency
control court appointed and con
firmed aa the membera of the su
preme court of the United Statea are
selected will be the directors of the
bank and will, at all times, act abso
lutely Independently of the federal
reserve banking system. That Is the
reason I call this bank, or banking
association, the "federal social credit
bank" Instead of naming It "the fed
eral central bank." This court and
bank acting together with congress
will become the main factora In Issu
ing circulating notes legal tender
money.
1-10 of One Percent Interest
My proposal would not Involve the
taking back by the government of
any privileges the banks now have
as regards Issuance of currency. But
government bonds back currency Is
sues would bear only l-10th of 1 per
cent rsta of Interest Instead of 2
or 4 rate of interest. The National
Banking Act of 1863 provided that "A
Banking Association" could deposit
government bonds with the treasurer
of the United States and the comp
troller of currency would Issue circu
lating notes legal tender money
equal In amount to the par value of
the bonds." The Interest these bonds
would bear waa not designated. Our
proposed currency control act design
ates the rate of interest to be 1-10
of one per cent and the soclsl credit
bsnk la empowered to buy these cur
rency expansion bonds when the
majority of the court sanctions their
purchase. After, of course, the bonds
have been voted by congress so plac
ing a double check upon the Issuance
of currency.
The "banking association", in this
case the social credit bank, remains
the legal owners of the bonds de
posited with the treasurer of the
United States until the bonds are
paid off, as is now the case when
bonds are deposited by the Federal
Reserve banks. These bonds would
be liquidated as the debts owed to
the government by Individuals, legal
subdivisions and corporations were
paid off. Take for example the Irri
gation onds of the Medford Irriga
tion district. These bonds would be
refinanced at Vi of one per cent rate
Interest with no payment on the
principal for ten years. I would pay
then, for the coming ten years, 2S
cents per acre on the bonded in
debtedness on the land I own In the
Medford Irrigation District, Instead
of (3 per acre per year as I now pay.
On the 80 acres I own In the district
I would save and have to spend 220
each year that I now muat pay out
on this debt. When this money was
spent for goods and services wage
Income would be Increased $440 thru
this one Interest saving transaction.
Half for Townsend Plan

send plan I will go "part wsy." $50

over 60 yeara of age, but no taxes,
no subtraction of any kind, to pay
this $50 until purchasing power Is
doubled in the United States. At
that point I would stabilize purchas
ing power by balancing the budget
for the old age pension account by
levying a 3 tax on wage Income
and a 6T, tax on eurplua earnings.
Until that time, I would pay the old
age pension by adding actual money
to the currency stream by selling gov
ernment bonds besr 1-10 of one per
cent rata of intereat to the social
credit bank. Taxation, subtrsctlon,
would only be instituted to stabilize
purchasing power after It hsd been
built up to match cspaclty produc
tion. How much money would do the
trick? Towr.scnd Is pretty close to
the right figure. If three hundred
million dollars was actually put Into
the pockets of our family unlta each
week to spend, cither through Inter
est snd taxes saved, or by allowing
an old age pension without Imposing
taxes, there would result a six hun
dred million dollsr Increase In wage
Income per wtek. msklng a total
increase of nine hundred million pet
week In Income spent or about
double the present amount of in
come spent.
Weakness of Tonn.fnd Plan
The Townsend Plan would not do
the trick since It proposes to subtract
through taxes as much as It adds In
the way of pensions. The Townend
Plan would not reduce Interest or
reduce taxea and would not Increase
the amount of actual money in cir
culation and would not build up

purchasing power. Neither would

A proposal that adds up, that la

when once discovered and atated re

Finally the J. c." plan does pro
pose to put a "whsle of a lotj more
money Into circulation not by in
creasing our Interest burden but by
decreasing the Interest burden and

FOR GALE RELIEF
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 19.
(AP) A vast relief organization stood
ready today to meet any emergency
that may arise If a severe tropical
hurricane bearing down upon south
past Florida strikes the coast to- '
morrow morning, aa Indicated by its
present movement.
With storm flags already flying
from Jacksonville to Key Weat, the
weather bureau urged all interests
to take precautions against the blow
which Meteorologist Gordon E. Dunn
said might hit "anywhere from Palm
Brnch southward to the keys."
He described the disturbance as of
large area and moving unusually
fast. This was borne out by a radio
message received at the bureau here
from the steamship Corrallee. which
advised it rode through "a severe
hurricane in West Indian waters last
night.
