The war In Europe has taken
the minds of the American peo
ple off their own troubles,
which In some quarters Is held
to be a blessing. Nevertheless,
Jt is possible some of the ten
million Jobless, in the land, give
a thought at meal time, to their
own unhappy lot, while guns
and statesmen roar.
"SAFE DRIVERS IN BeW
RECOGNIZED." (Hriline Bend
Bulletin). It serves them right.
GRID HONEYMOON FADES
Tha season of the comparltive
cores has arrived In pigskin
circles. This is the gentle art
of winning football games be
fore they are played, and always
cheer defenders of a lost cause
no end. Once a local sport
acribe, In all seriousness, poured
a batch of comparative scores
Into a typewriter, and proved
the Southern Oregon Normal
school could trounce Notre
Dome with ease.
It la also tha season of the
year, when the sport scribes
cease describing the home team
with fancy adjectives and lofty
praise, and rub journalistic salt
In the wounds of the vanquished
warriors. The heroes of high
gridiron hopes at Salem and As
toria, fell by the wayside re
cently, and to defeat, is added
the following scorn:
Says the Astoria Astorlnn
Budget, unfeelingly:
"They are getting sick of
being called the "scoreless
wonders." They don't like
the distinction of being the
greatest huddle talking team
In Astoria history, at the same
time being the grandest tray
of cream puffs ever served to
the opposition. That would
make any youngster mad."
The Salem Statesman also
minces no words, and lets fly
at their Vikings, on the front
page, in this manner:
"A bunch of beautifully
coached Bulldogs made mon
keys out of Salem high's far
from vicious Vikings on
Sweetland last night, the Al
bany lads loping to a 28 to 0
No-Name league grid victory
with about the snme degree
of ease that Popeye pulls out
of predicaments.
"Fired up like a torch, the
snappy, hard-chnrging 'Dogs
dug two touchdowns out from
under the local preppers
within the first nine minutes
of what was billed as a ball
game and added two more In
the final period before giving
away to second and third
stringers."
Yet, there was a day, when
these targets were the "Fight
ing Fishermen, and the "Val
lant Vikings," and everything
good and great, In football
britches.
"Mont Bundy was up from
hit Willow creek ranrh Wed
nesday doing a bit of trading
and wondering what it Is all
about." (Heppner, Ore., News)

Editorial Correspondence
Washington, D. C, Oct. 12. Raymond Refer flew in from
Medford via Chicago. Says he had a fine trip except for one
touch of rain in the Middlewest
At the Chicago airport he ran into Mr. and Mrs. Braley
(.Mrs. Brnley the former Mrs. Edith Patton). Thia was news to
ye editor, one eould have knocked him over with a handful
of eigaret smoke 1
Refer must have a gift for running; into notables. He had
been here only a few minutes when he met George Bonne Car
penter, former well known valley fruit grower, who with Mrs.
(.'. is spending the customary six months at the Shoreham. And
the next contact was with none other than yours very truly.
Ahem I
We escorted Raymond over to see Senator McNary's
dffiee where was Johnny Kelly (as usual) and a Mr.(we believe)
I'aulliamuR of Portland. R. R. told his story and ways and meanR
were discussed for aiding the pear and apple growers to make
some money nut. of what remain of this year'a crop. Reter
is optimistic, hut nothing will he known definitely until the
end of next week, at the close of the hearings.
Senator MeNary is on the losing side of the arms embargo
fight, but has no apologies to make. He sincerely believes
repealing the embargo at this time a serious mistake from the
standpoint of sound American policy, so naturally he is sticking
to his guns.
But there ia an excellent chance he will win in the fight to
save Pacific coast shipping from destruction, through an amend
ment exempting it from the neutrality measure. Many of the
strongest supporters of the repeal of the arms embargo are for
such action.
The longer we stay here the clearer ona outstanding fact
becomes :
The strongest aingle sentiment in Washington ia the desire
for PEACE, but those representatives in either house of con
gress willing to pay cash money for it, can be counted on the
fingers of one hand.
One should not lose sight of thia fact, in any predictions
concerning this country's eventual involvement in the European
war. The call of the bird of peace ia strong, but the call of
the pocketbook may be stronger!
Here is another thing we have learned.
All this talk about Germany attacking this country after
beating England and France, is the MOST COMPLETE AND
UNMITIGATED NONSENSE I So if anyone tries that sort of
propaganda on yon give him the loud and raucous horselaugh.
Sorry we can't give onr highest authority for such a state
ment, but strange as it may seem, it comes from a general in
the U. S. army. And when an army general ridicules one of
the favorite argument for greater preparedness, that's
NEWS I
Here is the answer in a few words. Leslie Hore-Belisha,
British war minister, boasts about the new record established in
transporting British troops to France, 1f8,000 in five weeks.
That is at the rate of a little over 30,000 per week, across a
narrow channel, completely free from naval opposition, with
the support of the largest and best equipped navy in the world.
If that ia the best the greatest, naval power in history can do,
across the English channel a two or three honr trip what
could any other power do, or THAT power across the Atlantic
ocean a four or five day trip which couldn't be swept free
from at least U-boat resistance!
And if it COULD be accomplished, then what! No power
or group of powers could accomplish anything along the line
of conquest with less than a million well equipped men. And
while tliev landed 30,000 in a week, what would the United
States he dningt, why the U. S. marines alone could mow them
down as fast as they came up I
Oh there 'a much more to it. But you can put this in your
pipe and smoke it: any talk about armed invasion of this coun
try either now or in the immediate future, is the most unmiti
gated eye-wash, and everyone in Washington who really
KNOWS anything about the subject, KNOWS it. So, as fal
sa that particular bogey is concerned, FORGET it I
Perhaps we have that seventh sense some news reporters
boast, perhaps not. At any rate tiring of Senator Bennett
Clark's magnns opus, against, arms embargo repeal in the senate,
we wandered over to the Dies committee hearing in the Old
House building, just on a chance, not even knowing the com
mittee was in session in fact when presto! we ran directly
into a battery of Klieg lights aud movie sound machines, with
none other than General Krivitsky, former chief of the Soviet
military intelligence, on the standi
And for over an hour we listened to the general tell what
he knows about Soviet, activity in the United States. The news
has already appeared in the Mail Tribune, of course so there is
no point in repeating it, but it IS pretty disquieting, particu
larly when one observes what Soviet Russia is doing now
apparently starting an imperial march of conquest, which may
go down in history along with the sweep of the Tartar hordes,
or the march of the Turks to the west.
There is no threat to this country thank the Lord, hut one
trembles to think what may happen to Europe.
General Krivitsky gave his evidence through an interpreter
although it was apparent he understood the questions which
were delivered to him (in English).
Not an impressive looking man in fact before we knew
what was ning on, we took the two "witnesses" to be a couple
of hot J bellboys, who had obtained some "keyhole" evidence,
and were delivering same with rather exaggerated solemnity
to the red baiting Dies and his compatriots.
The huge committee room wss well fi'led, but we were able
to get a seat at the press table, so were soon enlightened as
to what was going on.
Yes, the general isn't impressive looking, hut his story was,
because we can't believe such a wealth of information could
be faked. We may be wrong of course. Russians are notori
ously imaginative and romantic. But after the general admitted
his real name was Samuel Ginsberg, that he was horn in the
Ukraine .lune 'JS, ISO0, that he broke with Stalin when the latter
abandoned all democratization of the T'.S.R.R. in 'XM, aud
went on to give names. DATES, FACTS AND FIGURES, we
decided the burden of proof of those who regard him as a
Russianized "Dr. Cook" rests on the skeptics. Men who are
engaged in that sort of thing, are usually too smart, to give
a mass of figures and facts and dates, WHICH CAN SO
EASILY BE CHECKED!
If half what the general states is true, we shouldn't think
his life would he worth thirty crnts.
The man didn't look very happy (hut Russians never arc)
and he did have a rather hunted, haunted air about him. We
also noticed there were many policemen scattered over the
room, and they cleared the halls outside before the general and
his interpreter, left their seats.
The most alarming statement the general made was to the
effect that not only have Germany and Russia been cooperating
in a military way since l!)?2, but the recent non-aggression pact
is a M I LI T A Ii Y A G R K E M EN T, calling for mutual armed assist
ance, and distinct and separate zones of influence. In other
words if the general can be believed then Russia's march into
the Baltic area is with Berlin's consent, aud according to a
I'louoiu KiiMO-Giuuiati agreement.
We just DON'T BELIEVE THIS, but have to admit that
similar statement the genera made in the Saturday Evening
Post, which weren't believed at the time, were afterwards
sustained by the events. Have to wait and see. The truth can
only be established by future events.
Certainly this outbreak of war has been a life-saver for the
Dies committee. When we were here last February the commit
tee had a hard time getting a paltry $100,000 tfl continue ita
investigations, and the doings of the committee, were very
generally deplored as nothing more than silly, low brow red
baiting. But now Dies and his fellow colleagues are sitting on the
top of the world, the cynosure of all eyes (and sound machines!)
and ARE they eating it up!
Following the meeting yesterday the committee and the
general put on a private show for nearly two hours soley for
the benefit of the news reel boys. No doubt G. Hunt will be
showing it at no very distant date.
AYell we are glad to note that the pro-administration speak
ers are at. last, showing some sense. Yesterday both Senators
Austin and Burke (the latter one of Governor Martin's pals)
frankly admitted the repeal of the arms embargo was desirable
because it DOES aid Britain and France, and because this is
true they are for it.
It is refreshing to have the cool air of candor and honesty
admitted to the senate debate at last! Tt should make dis
semblers like Connolly and Pitlmnn feel pretty cheap, but
probablv won't I

MEDICINE INCLUDES DENTISTRY AND HEALTH
Up to 1840 when the first col
lege In the world for the train
ing of dentists was established
(Baltimore College of Dental
Surgery) only physicians and a
few itinerant
charlatans
practiced den
tistry. The
school was set
up as a separ
ate institution
because the
various medi
cal schools of
the time, char-acteristic-a
1 1 y enough,
declined to
provide pro
per instruction for students
seeking to practice dentistry
and unfortunately for them
selves the dentists have never
forgotten or forgiven that nar
row, short-sighted attitude of
the medical profession.
Nevertheless the field of den
tistry Is embraced within the
general field of medicine, as is
the field of health. In time the
feud will die out and the sep
arate dental schools will be
closed and all prospective den
tal practitioners will receive
their fundamental training in
the medical school, with the de
gree of M.D., and then whatever
technical postgraduate training
the practice of the specialty,
dentistry, may require. Then I'll
call the dentor "Doctor."
Prevention or treatment of
diseases, injuries or defects of
the teeth is always the concern
of the physician, for the state
of the teeth, in infancy, child
hood, youth, maturity or old age
has a great deal to do with
health.
When cavity formation be
gins, the fissure in the enamel,
so easily polished out if the den
tor catches it early, simply af
fords a crevice where food de
tritus, starch or sugar pabulum
and bacteria may lodge and
consequent acid fermentation
proceed. In my opinion. I do
not believe the bacteria and food
detritus and acid formation
would occur if the enamel were
not fissured first.
Likewise in pyorrhea, or In
terstitial gingivitis, as the den
tor may call it in the early stage
the impairment of general
health or vitality Is not, as Is
sometimes assumed, the conse
quence of swallowing pus or
other "poisonous" material from

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16
Since the dismissal of the un
fortunate war resources board,
the impression has got about
that business men's emergency
participation In the government
is at an end. This is not the
fact. Actually, many of the gov
ernment agencies and depart
ments are constantly calling for
business volunteers, but, as the
new recruits are greeted with
no great fanfare, their presence
is not noticed.
At the commerce department,
indeed, the business volunteers

the gums it is doubtful wheth
er this ever has any ill conse
quence in any case; but rather
the manifestation of the nutri
titional deficiency underlying
pyorrhea, especially as already
indicated, the prolonged or habi
tual shortage of vitamins D, C,
A and B-complex and the min
erals calcium and phosphorus in
the intake. In comparatively few
instances, notwithstanding much
loose conjecture and destructive
surgery based on it, is a general
or systemic ailment cured or
markedly helped by the surgical
eradication of a presumptive
septic focus or source of focal
infection about the teeth.
The efficiency of the teeth in
chewing food has a profound
influence on health and vile.
Proper mastication promotes di
gestion and lessens the load on
gastric and duodenal digestion.
Sound, even, perfectly occluding
teeth make thoro mastication of
natural foods a pleasure, and
enable one to derive from such
foods all of the elements neces
sary for optimal health and
vigor.

Camlno, Beverly Hills. Calif.
have been chiefly instrumental
in building up an entirely new
departmental prestige and au
thority. Under old Uncle Dan
Roper, commerce was a shabby
warren of political hacks. When
Harry L. Hopkins was made
secretary, he had great plans,
but his unlucky illness caused
them to be stillborn. Only lately
has the amiable under secretary,
the ex-lifesaver king. Edward
Noble, been able to get a real
grip on departmental affairs.
As soon as it was clear that
he was fully In charge in his
chief's absence. Noble began
bringing down men to Infuse
new life in the department.
Some of them are young busi
ness men of a liberal cast of
mind, like Dudley P. K. Wood,
formerly a director of Ameri
can Machine and Foundry. Oth
ers are seasoned veterans, like
; Robert E. McConnell. a slishtly
! surprising millionnaire who a 111
I serve as a typical specimen of
ithis novel genus of public ser
vant. McConnell. whose official
title is now business adviser to
the department of commerce, is
a tallish, dark, pleasant spoken
men. He does not seem to have
gained the self-confidence most
men would derive from the pos
session ol a very respectable
number of millions of dollars.
Yet he has done some bold
things in his time.
He was born In Montrose.
Colorado, In 1889, graduated
from the Columbia University
school of mines, and became a
mining engineer In the years
before the first world war. He
did not do so badly in the busi
ness, but he had made no name
for himself when the United
States joined the allies. He
came on to Washington to vol
unteer, was made a junior lieu
tenant in the navy, and put in
charge of the navy's nitrates
section. There, rather fretfully,
he stayed until the war ended.
Then, the army was intense
ly anxious to get its hands on
the process for manufacturing
artificial nitrates, which had en
abled Germany to prolong her
resistance. Because so many ar
my officers wanted to fight the
battle of Paris, there was a gen
eral order forbidding any of
them to leave for France after
the armistice. Not wishing lo
make an exception, Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker applied
to Assistant Secretary Franklin
D. Roosevelt for a young navy
officer to get the German form
ula. McConnell was chosen, sailed
for Europe, and made his way
to one of the German towns
where the nitrates were being
manufactured. The secret of the
German process was the chem
ical catalyst by which hydro
gen and nitrogen were com
bined into ammonia. The cata
lyst was sealed up In the fac
tory's huge blending tanks, and
the factory managers politely
refused to give McConnell a
sample. Finally, he went to the
French commander of the army
of occupation, asked angrily,
"who the hell won this war?"
and obtained a military escort
with whose help he got all that
he wanted. Ho was just in time,
for, a few days later, Germany's
right to her chemical secrets
was suddenly confirmed.
After the war, McConnell
went into the investment busi
ness, and in 1929 founded an
investment trust, the Mayflower
Associates, which was given the
SEC's blue ribbon for good
management. A s Mc Connell
sold out the trust's portfolio just
after the market peak in 1929,
re-invested its funds just be
fore the low in 1932, and final
ly liquidated it at the high in
1936, the blue ribbon was well
deserved. The stockholders got
$137 or every $60 they had put
in. and McConnell got his hand
some private fortune. Besides
his work at the commerce del
partment, his great interests
now are his big farm in Vir
ginia, and the collection of ani
mals which he Is building up
for the New York natural his
tory museum.
McConnell has had a singular
career, but his contribution to
the government is by no means
singular. He and the other busi
ness men like him bring a fresh
viewpoint and an Informal ap
proach to public affairs which
puts the regular officials com
pletely on their toes. If the men
like McConnel were highly pub
licized pooh-bahs, they would
probably not do much good, for
they would be constantly trip
ping over their press clippings.
But, inconspicuous as these men
are, and minor as their official
rank may be, their presence in
the government Is one of the
really encouraging signs of the
times.

Marshal Goering was opposed

are intermarried with military
families of Germany. When Sta
lin moved Into Poland he seized
the large estates and turned
them over to the peasants.
-OPPONENTS of Hitler in Ger-
many, according to the ru
mor, are ready to dispose of
him and his group or turn Hit

for the surrender of Hitler the
Germans wish to make a pact
! by which France and Britain
(will assist Germany in keeping
Stalin in his place.
Such is the peace rumor
i floating around Washington and
'in the financial circles. Far
l fetched as It sounds, it has had
an effect on the stock market,
and concerns which were plan
: ning expansion of their plants
! in anticipation of war orders!
j are now waiting to see what !
will happen.
DRESIDENT Roosevelt is ada-
mant in his decision to have!
congress take up nothing but i
neutrality during the special
session. He could ask for an
appropriation to house the in-1
creased army but prefers to pro-1
ceed without the authority .if i
appropriation, knowing the con-'
gross in January will furnish ;
the funds. Admiral Land, chair- i
man of the Federal Maritime
Commission, has been begging
h whiia Hnnxp to lower the
bars and permit congress to
enact war risK insurance, tor
u,wiu tv,ar ic a demand from
shippers on the Pacific and At
lantic coasts.
There are a number of other
measures of importance await
ing action, but Democratic lead
ers have been directed to dis
courage the introduction of any
bills or the holding or any meet
ings by committees until the
neutrality legislation is passed
and then the president wants
the members to go home and
remain there until January 3.
GOVERNMENT officials have
a different rule for the Pa
cific Northwest than for the
south. They are insisting that
for every box of apples or pears
bought the growers shall get
rid of a box. In the south the
government does not ask that
for every bale of cotton ac
quired by federal agencies tha
another bale be destroyed. In
cidentally, the government has
paid the cotton planters more
than a half-billion dollars.
At the moment Triple A of
ficials are under fire for not
displaying interest in the prune
situation in Oregon and Wash
ington. This matter was called
to their attention several months
ago since which time nothing
has been done. The administra
tion's policy toward cotton and
corn (the secretary of agricul
ture is from Iowa, a corn state)
and the shabby treatment of the
fruit growers of the Northwest
has been dinned into the ears
of the policy makers of Triple A.

JS the sinking of the British
battleship Royal Oak a sign
that the German war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt
has begun? It doesn't just look
that way.
It has more the appearance
of a pot shot by a lucky sub
marine. -t
OOT-SHOTTING a single bat-
tleship, while a distinct Ger
man achievement,- isn't spectac
ular enough to indicate that Hit
ler has reached a decision to
try another blitzkrieg this time
against the British navy.
IJITLER announced some time
ago that if Britain and
France refused to make peace
he and Stalin would get together
and, figure out what to do about
it. Either that is happening now,
or Hitler lied.
The impression is growing
throughout the world that It
is STALIN who will decide
what Is to be done about It.
(The impression is even
stronger that whatever is done
will be strictly for STALIN'S
BENEFIT, with Hitler given
scant consideration).
IT'S a fair guess that Stalin
would feel toward a life and
death struggle between Britain
and France on one side and
Germany on the other about as
WE would feel toward a sim
ilar struggle between Russia
and Japan.
THE Royal Oak, commissioned
in 1914. was getting old, as
battleships go. But its construc
tion WAS supposed to provide
protection against immediate
sinking by a torpedo. The pur
pose back of such construction
is to keep a crippled ship afloat
long enough to get it to a base
where It can be repaired and
put back into service.
All accounts available so far
indicate that the Royal Oak
went down within a short time
after being hit.
EVERYTHING so far indicates
- that when a torpedo gets
a fair shot at a warship the
warship is doomed. What air
planes can do against a modern
battle fleet remains to be
proved. If and when he starts
fighting the British In earnest.
Hitler is pretty sure to try to
prove it.
THE sinking of the Royal Oak,
however accomplished,
strengthens Hitler's hand in his
present peace deal (which isn't
ended) because it arouses Bri
tish fears that he may be able
to whittle the British fleet down
to his size.
