Editorial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 11. Went over to the War De
partment to get some news. Might as well go over to the Mint
to get (some money, it just CAN'T be done!
But falling bak on that convenient expedient of the local
press, we can assert, that we have it on the highest authority
that and to-wit:
Medford 'g hoped-for super airport, has a good chance of
mnterializinsj at the January session of the congress, unless
there should be peace in Europe before that time.
This is based upon the assumption that the Vinson Bill,
or something like it, which was defeated at the last session
of congress, will not be defeated at the next. In other words
that sueh a measure will pass.
In other words if a large, comprehensive and elaborate pro
gram of airport extension, throughout the country, is endorsed
by congress to the tune of $100,000,000, or more, Medford will
get its share. For the Medford airport, IS of strategic import
ance. If such a program does not go through there isn't a
chance, as far as the war department is concerned. For while
its attitude toward the Medf'vd project might be termed
"sympathetic", it just hasn't got the cash, and can't get it.
Even in this event, however, there would be s chance of the
endorsement by the proper federal aviation authority of a super
airport at Medford, if a WPA project toward that end were
launched. This, presumably, would take a cash contribution or
its equivalent from the City of Medford.
SO, the picture as to Medford 's super airport hasn't changed
materially in the last few months. The most favorable slant
we could get out of the situation here amounts to this
(1) There is no doubt high officials of the army air force do
want a larger and better airport at Medford.
(2) There is also no doubt that Senator Holman, as a mem
ber of the Appropriation and Military Affairs committee, rc
gnrds this project as his "baby", and if it can he done HE is
in a position to do it.
On the same anonymous authority it may be stated, that
blue-prints for the new army radio administration building at
the Medford airport have been approved, bids will soon be
asked, and the building should be completed next April or
March. It will be a two-story structure, with quarters for five
operatives, to replace the present building which is inadequate.
Reverting to the war situation and the neutrality debate
for a moment. When we returned from the opening session,
between Borah and IMttman we expressed the opinion that 'lie
affair had been over press-agented, that it would not take its
place in history with such real epoch-making events as the
Uncoln-Douglas and Webster-Haynes engagements. The real
issue wasn 't sufficiently profound ; the feeling sufficiently
intense.
Well, whatever doubt may have existed as to the truth of
that statement THEN, there is none now.
And with the war situation in Europe, changing from day
to day, its importance, is becoming less and less. Indeed
"SHAM battle" appears more and more to be the word for the
engagement.
Not only is it believed here in Washington that ex-President
Hoover when ho said England and France couldn't be beaten,
was entirely right; but sentiment is increasing daily, that unless
there is a sudden and unexpected change in the European situa
tion, Hitler like Sheridan Downey, is going to knock himself
out. All they think Ocr Fuehrer needs is more rope.
For it'H the local view he can't get an armistice now, nor
enn lie quit, he has to act decisively in some direction, or lie
is lost.
Well ho can't go any further to the East for Russia stands
in his way. He can't go to the South for the same reason. So
he ciui only go to the West, and that menus destruction and
defeat.
In other words, while the allies failed to surround Germany,
Hitler did it himself, when he hooked up with his nnti-commin-lern
enemy, Klnlin. As a result American aid to the KiirIhiuI
and France has become almost an academic question. The allies
have Der Keichsfuehrer hy the tail, on a downhill pull,
WITHOUT it. '
We hasten to add this isn't the official war department view.
The war department, as far as the press is concerned, has no
view, about the war or anything else. This is the view, how
ever, your correspondent feels confident, official Washington
holds at the present moment. It may change tomorrow of
course. Rut all things considered, it doesn't look like it.
We have always wanted to see a professional football game
but never hnd the opportunity until Sunday, when the- Wash
ington Redskins defeated the Brooklvn Dodgers, 41-13, here at
Griffith Park.
We spooled to see good football. Hut we weren't prepared
for the brand of foothall we did see, the most perfect exhibi
tion of how the GAME SHOULD BK IMjAYED, we liave ever
witnessed, or ever expect to.
The score doesn't indicate much of a contest, but until the
last few minutes it was, for the Dodgers while not much on
straight fontbnll hnd in this Ace Parker, ex-All American Duke
quarterback, the most phenomenal forward-passer we have ever
fcen or dreamed of. (We still can't figure out why his team
didn't score half a dozen touchdowns instead of only two. At
that his passes gained 252 yards, and there was no 'time when
the Dodgers had the ball, anywhere within the 40-yard stripe,
that tho little Dodger star the lightest man on the field,
wasn't a threat. And when he didn't throw the ball he ran with
it, and when he wasn't a standout on the offense, he was saving
his team from disgrace on the DEFENSE.)
Perhaps Perfcssor Pickem has heard of the man before,
but we never have. In a game in which practically all con
testants were All-American this comparatively frail chap stood
head and shoulders above all the rest,
.

until our next.) y

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. In the
first smart or their fury at the Husao
German pact, tho British and French
government seriously considered
publishing White papers, to expose
the extraordinary duplicity of the
Russians' dealing with them.
Had they not muffled their im
pulse, two remarkable facts would
have been made immediately appar
ent. In the whole course of their
negotiations with the British tind
French, th Russians speclficolly and
Indignantly denied that they were
going to do what they In the end
did. And, from the start the Rus
sians attempted to extract from the
British and French the heavy price
which Germany has now paid for
their support. A slice of Poland and
the Baltic etatea was what the Rus
sians wanted, and they cared little
whether they got it by blackmailing
the demecraelea or Joining hands
with the Narls.

Ql'ESTIONS ANSWERS
Ak Me A Hard One
When a fellow gets "attacks" of i

your "Nerves and Nutrition" advice j

tions? (M. O. T.)
Answer Try the eeny-meeny-mlney-mo

wrap the fellow up and parcel poat
him to me and I'll make a stab at
It. Darn it all, I'll have to prepare
still another pamphlet or booklet ex

The Old Acid Food Obsession
On a diet prescribed by a doctor.
I am troubled with arthritis or neu
ritis. I must take no acid foods.
Pleose tell me which foods are acid
and which are alkaline. (M.S.D.)
Answer Don't be silly, man. No
real doctor would advise such a
diet. Only charlatans, mail-order
quacks, near-doctors and queer-doctors
exploit popular credulity con
cerning "acid" and "alkaline" foods.
You are doing yourself an injustice
monkeying along like that. First, why
not loosen up and squander the price
of a medical examination by a real
doctor, to find out what Is the mat
ter? That would be at least a step
in the right direction.
. Latin
Is a doctor compelled by law to
write a prescription in Latin? If a
patient asks to have the prescription
written In English would the doctor
be allowed to do so? (T. B.)
Answer There la no law about it.
The doctor may write a prescription
in any language he knows. Latin Is
used because It Is the universal lan
guage of science names of medicines
in Latin are the aame to physicians
and pharmaclststhe world over. The
proscription Is merely an order from
doctor to pharmacist. Most doctors
will interpret a prescription to the
patient, or write It In simple English,
If he requests it.

anced by the shrewd cheerfulness of
Nagglar. Having started a highly
successful career as the son of the
drogoman at the French embassy
in Constantinople, Naggiar could af
ford optimism. -The difference be

always existed between the French
and British.
The difficult point was always the
Intense, and subsequently Justified,
reluctance of all the border states
to accept Russian aid against the
Germans in the form of an expedi
tionary force. During June, Poland
and Rumania were the problems dis
cussed between Seeds and Naggiar
and Molotoff and Potemkin. who
were representing Stalin. At length,
the principle was agreed on that,
while the Russians would give imme
diate help in such forms as sup
plies, they would wait until Invited
to send their armies.
By mid-June, the Allied dtplomates
expected that the treaty would soon
be concluded. But, behind the
scenes, the Russians were already
busy haggling with their new Ger
man friends. They are believed to
have got down to cases early ln
July, when the polite, tx-lucky turn

mission to Moscow. Meanwhile, the
Russian ambassadors at Paris and
London categorically denied all deal

of hearing the Russian charge d'af

a huge Joke of the matter.
English and French suspicions
were not preatly aroused, therefore,
when the Russians ocean to ask a
little more whenever full agreement
seemed to be in prospect. First, they
asked whether they might send troops
without invitation, if Germany at
tempted a blitzkrieg against the Bal

they suggested that, before signing
the treaty, military missions ought
to visit Moscow to work out the

About mid-August, when the mili

the talk of sending troops by Invi

Permission to Russia to "preventively

Day's
'-:News.
By IKANk JL.Nkl.NS
HITLER, "Informed aources" In
Berlin confide, la disappointed
with Chamberlain's answer to his
peace offer. So. according to these
same sources, he haa decided to begin
war In earnest against Britain and
Prance.
Hitler, you see, needs to save his
face, the same as Chamberlain.
LET'S get thla face saving straight.
World empires, such as the Brl
J tish, are held together by a combln
' atlon of fear and self interest much
the same as gangster organizations.
As long as the leader can inspire
j his underlings with a healthy mea
sure of fear and at tha same time
can keep them convinced that It
Is to their interest to stay with
him, the organization endures. But
when the leader shows signs of
weakness, they BREAK UP.
If England knuckles under to Hit
ler It will be a sign of weakness,
and the British empire (soon or
late) will begin to break up.
It Is Chamberlain's Job to prevent
that from happening.
ADVENTURERS, such as Hitler
(and Napoleon ln an earlier
day), retain their hold upon their
followers (and therefore their Jobs)
only as long as they can maintain
the APPEARANCE OF INVINCIBIL
ITY. If they let somebody bluff
them. If they permit ANYTHING to
happen that shatters the Illusion of
invincibility, they are on dangerous
ground. Such a slip might spoil
everything.
That Is the fix Hitler Is ln. It Is
the fix Napoleon was in from the
time he first seized power In France
until his downfall. Adventurers have
to KEEP ON WINNING.
Hitler CAN'T LOSE FACE. If ' he
does, he Is sunk.
THIS business of saving face Is
VERY REAL INDEED, even If on
the surface it does seem to contain
elements of absurdity.
Take Vie case of two small boys
who start making passes at each
other on the schoolground. When
the affair begins to get serious,
both would probably like to back
out. But neither DARES to back
out. Backing out would Involve loss
of respect on the part of their com
rades. It Is better to FIGHT AND
GET LICKED than to back down
and be Jeered as a coward.
Don't underestimate the import
ance of saving face. It reaches clear
down to the grass roots of human
existence.
BECAUSE the British and the
French empires, on one side, and
Hitler, the adventurer, on the other,
have got themselves into a position
where saving face all around Is dif
ficult. If not impossible, millions
may have to die.
