Summer again, really hot and muggy. Drove up to the country club where a few years ago the National Western (amateur) was held. While the city is like a dust bowl, the country club is green and fresh, miles of nice turf, and many golfing, some in shorts. (Please page Dr. K. !) These mid-westerners should be tough considering what they have to adjust themselves to climatically. Perhaps that explains Notre Dame, which incidentally opens the football season tomorrow against Purdue. . . What is happening in Europe! No one knows. France says one thing, F.ngland something else, and Berlin of course agrees with neither. As to Russia, even the respective war offices don't pretend to figure out "the bear that walks like a man." But what this column maintained when war broke out still holds true. Those who know what. Russia IS going to do, know how the war is coming out, that wily old Oriental Stalin holds the balance of power and knows it. If he seriously and whole heartedly throws in his fortunes with Germany, then GOOD NIGHT I If he doesn't, if as we think far more probable, he concentrates on enlarging Russia's sphere of influence, REGARDLESS OF THE INTERESTS OF ANY OTHER NATION including Naziland, then another of our pre-war prophecies promises to hit the bullseye, to-wit: As far as there can be any winner in modern warfare, Soviet RuBsia will be the winner of this war, and the ONLY winner! ..... Yes, no one in this country knows anything about what is really happening in Europe today, trying to pick the wheat of truth from the chaff of hokum, in the various and sundry reports, is like trying to pick the first three horses in the sixth race at iSanta Anita. But quite unexpectedly your some real news from inside uncensored news, written only upper middle class, educated German to an old college friend in this city. Sorry we can't more definitely identify the source of the information, or the recipient, but to do so might get one or both in trouble. Here is a free very free, "Of course no one in the Fuehrer was forced into it by the terrible atrocities against Germans in Poland, and Poland's refusal to make any conces sions regarding Danzig and the integral a part of Germany as Ireland is a part of Great Britain. Why was this T Because England had decided to encircle Ger many and bring the Fatherland to its knees again, crush us completely, and if we hadn't invaded Poland, in another 90 days the allies would have invaded us. For our verv existence. wo had to strike when we did. Certainly no one can doubt this now when Russia invades Poland from the East, and England and France don t even send a to be fighting for Poland, as Belgium I Lies, lies, lies! How can Albion is attacking Germany, world, as she did before, because feet again, and England can t crime, like every other nation we want, to be a nation of self-sufficiency and self-respect. Yes it will be hard, perhaps harder than in 1914. Even now we can only afford enough meat and butter, to keep the family free from disease, and three of us are at the front. But as Our Fuehrer says, we won't capitulate this time I We won't we tricked as we were before, by your 14 points. Before we will surrender to England we will surrender to Russin, nnd let France and England see how they like that! Yes, conditions are already bad and will no doubt be worse, but our Beloved Fuehrer brought us success fully through every other crisis, and he will bring us success fully through this one." Now that's genuine, it comes direct from a German famil.v in Germany, the members of which in this country at least, arc not admirers of Der Fuehrer, and abhor the tactics of the Nazis. If intelligent, educated Germans can believe propaganda of that sort, and worship a homicidal sadist like Adolf, because he happens to be their war leader, what can one expect from the German masses, the rank and file I And what hope is there, for peace, except a peace resulting from the application of a superior force I Of course we know nothing about how typical this letter may be of public opinion in Germany, it may or may not represent tlie prevailing view, but we do know it 's authentic. and it does give one AN IDEA of what can be done, and is being done by a propaganda machine under the direction of one totalitarian government. War poisons not only wells, it poisons minds. ..... . . . And now it's raining! We wouldn't, bet a nickel against a blizzard in the morning.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. When the world waa plunged Into war, many people wondered how the president, who has lived through so many storms In these last years, would meet the new, more tragic emergency. A month has passed since war broke out. The president has already acted Importantly on several fronts, and tt seems possible to make an In terim report. Riding the whirlwind is an exer cise he loves (to a point where, when no whirlwind presented Itself, he has occasionally tried to manufacture one). He Is a good deal grayer now than a year ago. Although he still starts the day with his old exuber ance, the lines bite deeper Into his face as the afternoon wears on. until he looks a little tired when In re pose. But these signs are natural enough in a man approaching his sixtieth year. Actually, he seems to be exhilarated by the vast and press ing problems which dally confront him. As usual, he breakfasts in bed at s reasonably civilized hour, tackling the newspapers before he rises to go to his office. In the office, as usual, he goes throush an Intermin able round of conferences. In which state department officials and the top men of the war and navy de partment, are now given much more time. He 1 staying at his office later, however, and in the evenings he is much more likely to go on working in his comfortable, lltu-red oval study than to Join his guestr, at the after-dinner film or to amuse himself with his hobbles. He watches the world conflict with engrowd Interest. When the army or navy men have anything to re port, they find him an eager audl enre lull of technical questions. In his ofttre he hsa set up big war mars, which are brought up to date every day, and. although the risk of eavesdroppers Is great, he cannot re slst his trans-Atlantic telephone hats with Ambassadors Bullitt and Kennedy.

Beverly Hills, Calif. more serious generalization. Those close to him say that he Is pre occupied with the dreadful puzzle of what the world will be like after the war Is over. He fears the effect on this country of the general catas trophe, and he Is much obsessed by the fate of the "new freedom" of his predecessor, Wodrow Wlln. In another, sadly recent world conflict. Yet, when some plan pleases him, he still throws his head back with the old loud laugh, and the delighted exclamation, "That's fine, that's wonderful." As for the plans he has acted on to date, they appear to have been well conceived and well executed. His call of the special session of congress was admirably timed, and his neutrality message was shrewdly written, stirring, and without the "I-told-you-soa" which he at first hankered to toss at lvls opponents. It must have required an effort of self-control to abandon old habits, but he has vastly improved his system of dealing with congress. The Im perious Insistence that this or that "must" be done has been replaced by a calm cooperation with the ablest congressional leaders. In two or three of his actions, such as the hasty call of the Pan ama conference and the off-hand announcements that submarines had been sighted off our coasts, there seemed to be a trace of his weakness for the ovcrdramatlc. But these are Justified by the fact that he has had credible. If not wholly confirmed, reports of the presence of what amounts to a German submarine fleet in the Caribbean. Such a situation, even If only po tential rather than proved, made it necessary to prepare for quick rem edial measures. This also illuminates the slightly mysterious proclamation of limited emergency, which calls into being his power to retmlate shipping movements, as well as enabling him to deal with foreign exchange? prob lems that will soon become exceed ingly difficult. Indeed, his creation and disband ing of the war reso u rces boa rd I s the only move needing real explana tion. And this may be simply ex plained. In the first place, he only wanted the board's advice and never intended to make It a permanent body. In the second place, as the private preserve of the troublesome assistant secretary of war. Louis Johnson, the board's position wns untenable from the start. The president is handling the pres ent very successfully. For the future. It contains the great question of his 1040 Intentions. What these may be no man knows, but It Is certain that the president still tells those close to him that he does not "want" third term. His new deal lieutenants, mean while, have ceased their pHtivl agitation i although the trreprtM.ble Harold Ickes probably will emit a final blast on the third term be fore abandoning the subject), Alto cether. It seems only fair to the president to conclude thst he la now thinking less of politics tr.sn of the national welfare. . . e (.'a unl Tribune waul sds. SNewsvf f vT O: Jrkef i By FRANK JENKINS THX diplomats (on Friday) still hold the spotlight. Hitler and Stalin, having got to gether on some kind of desl, tell Britain and France to make peace NOW or else I (What the penalty Is to be If they refuse remains a bit hazy. Germany and Russia announce that If the western allies fall to knuckle under they "will consult each other as to necessary measures." Without saying so, they seek to convey the Impres sion that the necessary measures will be a German -Russian military alli ance.) AO ATN the British and the French fall to crumple up in a panic. In London, the inner cabinet meets for a close study of the nazl-sovlet deal, as so far revealed, and "Informed sources" assert that the new move Is a supreme effort to frighten Britain and France Into a quick peace. They add that It won't work, as Britain is still determined to end Hltlerism. (What Britain knows she has to do Is to protect her empire, now defi nitely threatened.) Britain's answer will be given offi cially by Chamberlain in a speech to the house of commons on Monday FRANCE, whose fortunes are defi nitely tied to those of Britain will do whatever Britain does. "In formed sources' In Paris are equally certain that the war must go on. 1TJTHAT next? W WATCH THIS DIPLOMATS. They still play the leading parts in the world tragedy now being enacted. And when European diplomats gather, TREACHERY is always pres ent. HERE Is an Interesting slant In the news of Friday: When the Germans and the Rus frlans got together to pick Poland's bones, they didn't see eye to eye on the proposed boundaries. Witt Han cock. Associated Press correspondent in Moscow, writes: "In the north, a wedge between Germany and Lithu ania, which experts said would have ALLOWED THE RUSSIANS TO OUT FLANK THE GERMANS has been removed." In spite of all the taffy he Is spreading, you see. Hitler DOESN'T TRUST STALIN and refuses to stand for any salients from which the Rus sians can get around his end. HANCOCK adds: "Russia's south ern frontiers with Rumania and Bulgaria were not affected." What that means is that STALIN DOESN'T TRUST HITLER and pro poses to keep his armies between Hitler and Rumania's coveted oil There is also a suspicion that Stalin Is so playing his cards as to shut Germany out of the Balkans. You will probably hear more of that later. WHEN two gangsters eye each other thus suspiciously, there Is always a good chance of a bloody falling out. It is this chance. In all probability, that Is stiffening the backs of the British and the French. Communications On The Yellow Streak To the editor: It is indeed heartening to see that someone has a sense of the terrible toll of life every year taken by the automobile. While observers' remarks are well taken yet observer fails to note that most of the drivers drive on the left side of the road along the yellow streak which to them Is the left side of the road and If observer will take the trouble to watch some of the drivers I may say most of them while on their own side of the yel low line their hubs are over the line, and this more particularly points to trucks which have a wider overhang. A big truck's overhang win be about 16 Inches. Therefor if they drive on the left why not shift the line to the extreme left. Its advan tages are numerous. Night driving la safer, oncoming car lights do not shine direct In yoxir eyes. If you want to leave your car. your door is not swung out In the direct line of traffic, you step out on the sidewalk. Instead of going around the car; and above all safety. 8om years ago I spoke to one of our lareest- manufacturers of cars. He said. "Enttineers have had this matter up and studied tt. There Is no doubt It would be a great Im provement, but to convince our peo ple would be a colossal undertaking, nnd who is going to do it? Not the mnnufacturer. it would coat millions, and besides, the number of ears now equipped with left hand drive would be an enormous problem.

Today there is an inquiry for light horses and mules, but no extensive buying yet. although a couple of shiploads of mules have been dis patched across the Atlsntic. Department of commerce reports that there are fewer horses on farms today than in 1014, due to mech anism replacing hay-burners. The rangeland cannot be drawn on now as In 1014, for the reason that bands of wild horses have been gathered, shipped to reducing plants and trans formed Into chicken feed or fer tilizer. However, enough mounts could ba roped to equip a couple of cavalry regiments.

ITf AR or no war, there Is no In ff tent Ion by government officials to suspend construction on Grand Coulee, the Deschutes project or other reclamation projects In the north west, nor the Central Valley project in California, which is a few miles south of the Oregon line.
