Cheap Partisanship
WE regret to see the partisan Republican press, raising a
hue and cry against the new trade agreement with Eng
land, because certain timber interests don't like it.
What if certain timber interests DON'T like itf, does that
necessarily mean, Secretary Hull's reciprocity treaty is all
wrong, and contrary to America's best interests 1
Condemning this trade .agreement, on one count like this,
without striking a balance on the proposal aa a whole, and deter
mining the compensatory benefits, would be like condemning
an entire orchard, because one happened to find one infected
tree in it.
IN this agreement, as in any other agreement, the question
is what does the agreement accomplish, for the welfare of
this country AS A WHOLE not what it may, or may not do,
to this special interest or some other.
It is certainly a deplorable example of blind partisanship
and provincialism, which would try to prejudice the people
against any agreement of this kind, simply because a local
business might have to take some chance of meeting stiffer
foreign competition, because of it.
Trans point seems to be overlooked by so many, that a reci-
procal trade agreement, means what it says. It is a
RECIPROCAL agreement. And a reciprocal agreement, means
an agreement to give find titke, to not only ask concessions, but
to grant them. It doesn't mean, and it can not mean, that one
signatory is to do all the selling, and none of the buying, and
the other ail the buying and none of the selling. It means the
two nations are to trade with
maximum mutual benefit.
It would be nice if we could go back to the good old days,
when this country, was opening up a new world of natural
resources, unequalled before in
land sent us the money to develop those resources we sent
Englund our raw inatcriuls and
ance the account.
But we can't. "Them days" have gone forever, and this
country as a debtor nation with
QO unless we wish to abandon foreign trade entirely, an
"J abandonment that would bring down upon us a depression
far more serious than the one we are now emerging from then
we must make up our minds to buy from foreign nations as well
as sell to them, on the basis that involves the least sacrifice to
both. This means, in general, to trade the products WE are
best qualified to produce, for the articles that our FOREIGN
NEIGHBORS are best qualified to produce.
This is the basis of Secretary Hull's reciprocal trade agree
ments. And they must be judged' not on the ground of local
self interest, but on the ground of the stimulation of foreign
trade as a whole, and the material betterment of the country
as whole, the greatest good to the greatest number.
Gangster Is Right
THERE was a time this colunm resented the opprobrius title
of "gBngster" as applied to the present "All-Highest" in
Germany.

as faced Central Europe, a dictator had to be pretty 'tough to

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Iodine
Wife has effect like poison Ivy If
she put a drop of Iodine on a cut
or scratch. Water blisters form and
skin swells and Itches. Would It be
safe for her to take your Iodine
Ration? She thinks she needs It.
(A. O. E.)
Answer If she Is hypersensitive to
iodine she should begin with very
smaU amount say put a drop In
glass of water, and take only a tea-
spoonful of that solution dally for a
week, then Increase dally ration by
a teaspoonful a day until she can
take the regular ration, without dis
agreeable reaction.
Deafmutlsm
My parents are deafmutes. They
have four children, none deaf. I have
three children, one deaf. My sister
has six children, none deaf; seven
grandchildren, none deaf. My father
was said to have become deaf after
a fall when a child: mother was said
to have been bitten by a dog causing
brain fever, after which she lost her
hearing. (Mrs. R. L. o.)
Answer Thank you. As a rule,
when both parents are deafmutes,
one-fourth of the children will be
deafmutes. However. In three-fourths
of such families (both parents deaf
mutes) the children are all normal.
If only one parent Is a deafmute and
the other normal, the children are
usually normal.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THIS writer listened the other day
to a short talk by the head of
the bank for farm co-operatives In
the United States. Among other
things, h, said:
"We learned early that the co
operatives that had the most done
FOR THEM were apt to FAIL, where
as those that did the most for them
selves were pretty likely to succeed."
HUMAN nature is human nature,
and we see It working out
around us air the time.
The child, for example, that Is
GIVEN EVERYTHING, and never has
to work for anything too often turns
out to be a waster, whereas the
child that has to work for every
thing he gets rather often becomea
a thrifty and useful citizen.
"Easy oome, easy go" Is a proverb
that contains a lot of accumulated
human wisdom.
THE world has come a long way
from the savage and the Jungle,
and nearly all of the progress that
has been made has come about as
a result of the efforts of those who
went out and did things for them
selves Instead of waiting for some
body else to do things for them.
ALL of which suggests this thought
on Thanksgiving Day:
"Dear Lord, for the opportunities
I have been given to DO THINGS
FOR MYSELF I am thankful, and
I pray thee that so long as I may
live and so long as my children may
live, these opportunities may not be
limited for I realize that It Is only
the opportunities that I have been
given to do things for myself that
have benefited me- in the long run."

m, can institution, and tne tnanx-

things for ourselves Is a good Ameri
can creed.

gain. Being a leading advocate of a
"fresh faces and new Ideas" policy for
the party, his natural Inclination Is
to fight.
In the end. Mrs. Pratt may decide
to withdraw her candidacy. Or Simp
son may simply prefer to assert his
own right to the executive committee
place without referring to Mrs. Pratt's
associations with Hoover. Or the
national committee may avoid con
flict by filling the executive commit
tee vacancy with former Senator Dan
iel Hastings of Delaware. At the mom
ent, the chances for the fight look
good.
It Is understood that Simpson will
attack Hoover without much effort
to line up national committee mem
bers from other states. He Is con
vinced that the Republican party
may as well shut up shop unless It
can offer a new line of goods, and la
therefore willing to take the chance
of a repudiation, in the belief that
there Is nothing to lose.
If the fight comes off. it will be the
first real indication of the national
temper of the Republican organiza
tions. In these last years, former
President Hoover has presented his
theory of government Impressively,
honestly and appropriately. But the
Hoover theory Is based on the as
sumption that the New Deal Is wick
ed through and through, and must
be largely dismantled when the Re
publicans come to power. On the
other hand, the Simpson heory. and
the theory of other Republican mod
erates who won tn the recent elec
tion, la based on acceptance of the
New Deal as a political fait accompli,
requiring many reforms but not gen
eral demolition. In attacking Mrs
Pratt for her connection with the
former prestdent. Simpson will be
asking the national body of the party
to choose between his theory and
Hoover's.
It ts Impossible to Judge how the
fight will go. although It can be
said that the fact that Mrs. Pratt Is a
woman will probably hurt her; the
Landonlt national committeemen
are likely to help Simpson, and that
the friends of National Chairman
John D. M. Hamilton may be inclin
ed to help Mrs. Pratt.
An Interesting local Indication ts
given, however, by the situation In
New York state, where Simpson's
prestige received a serious blow from
his (allure to hold down the Demo
crate New York City majority. Im
mediately after the election, a group
of reactionary Republicans started
an antt-Slmpeon agitation, contend
ing that his mild concessions to New

Important to note the type of young

have read "ere this, he described
communistic tactics of "boring from

One Interesting sidelight Is the
"gobs" of local attention Mr. Dies
is receiving. The foremost woman
lecturer on current events devoted
a goodly portion of a lecture-class
hour to his hearings, speaking to
several hundred women from diplo
matic and cabinet wives on down:
and we have mentioned before that
the District of Columbia D.A.R. in
dorsed his Investigation. He was re
cently Invited to address a meeting
of the Daughters' National Defense
Committee, plus the National Gen
eral Board of the Society of May
flower Descendants (attending mem
bers of which represented at least
two-thirds of the states, , and the
presidents of various other patriotic
groups, as Invited guests. So many
came they had to hang out tho
good old S-R.O. sign, and the en
thusiasm was so great that the May
flower Hotel office, located in the
opposite side of the block-deep hotel,
sent someone back to Investigate and
suggested that doors be closed to
avoid disturbing other meetings.

TWO OREOONIANS in Wsshlng
ton well remembered In Medford
are Mra. Gertrude Porter, widow of ;
Dr. Claude B. Porter, formerly pas
tor of the Presbyterian church in
Medford. and their 10-year old
daughter. Gene.
Mrs. Porter has been with the
Federal Trade Commission for five
years, and we have yet to talk with (
a person more enthusiastic about her

"Until rapid communication brought
this strange phenomenon, any single
event affected only a small propor
tion of the population of a nation at
one time. Waves of emotionalism
that sweep nations now. were un
known then. Diplomats could play
at the old game of International
politics and settle differences with
out the constant pressure of opinion
at home."
Today, however, Dr. Metraux said:
"The chief Is swept along by the
tribe; he no longer has freedom of
action. It la for this reason that
the entire world Is Jittery. There
never has been a time when threats
of war were so frequently made, aa
now."
Dr. Metraux believes It will taka
a longtime for the worTd to become
adjusted to this state of "tribe men
tality." He Insists that the best
way to prevent a war that may de
stroy civilization Is made to the new
conditions, is through the . propa
ganda of fear.
"As long as man fears war, he
will remain at peace," he aid.

TOKYO. Nov. 25 (AP) The Jap
anese and German governments sign
ed an accord on cultural cooperation
today but, the foreign office spokes
man said, "the agreement does not
mean Japan ts going to persecute
Jews."
The accord recognizes the respec

countries (nazl culture Is built upon
a thesis of a pure Germon race).
Many Jews In Japan, a large number
of them teachers, had expressed ap
prehension. The forelpn office spokesman, ans
wering questions whether Japan
could subscribe to the "characteristic
features" of German culture without
embarking upon a program of antl
Semltlsm similar to that In Ger
many, said Jews attached to schools
would not be asked to resign.
Details ere to be determined later
but the practical phases of the agree
ment are for cooperation among
