PuiiisiflEirv Editorial Correspondence Vancouver, B. C, Oct. 31. No fooling, British Columbia is the cream of Canada, Just as the Pacific coast is the cream of the U. S. A. One has only to travel from coast to coast to know it. A new hotel here since our last visit, the old Canadian Pacific hotel "Vancouver" has been abandoned, and this new, imposing edifice with the same name takes its place. Instead of being conducted by the C. P. R. it is conducted by a separate corporation on behalf of the C. P. R. and the Canadian National railroads. We have seen enough of it to declare it one of the finest hotels on the North American continent. The old Canadian National's "Continental Limited" had hard work to avoid getting here two or three hours ahead of time, hut finally made it, thanks to many stops, and seldom releasing the brakes. Arose early to see the scenery down the Frazer river, and it was worth it, a gorgeous morning without a cloud in the sky and the sun coming up, UNLIKE thunder, over the eastern snow-tipped mountain tops. And here is a new metaphor: "Consciousness of the fact crept over him, as slowly as the dawn." For on a clear morning is there anything more certain than the sunrise, and yet more gradual, so gradual the changes are almost imperceptible. We worked hard this a. m. to note when the changes occurred, from faint icy light to the first real glow of dawn; from a slowly retreating darkness to the first real color, but finally gave up in disgust. It couldn't be done. The changes were there, that's all, it was impossible to SEE them come, or note just WHEN. Why aren't more people sun worshippers? Why was the practice ever abandoned? There surely is the core of our being, let it falter for an instant, and your life and ours all human life, QUITS! And think of the centuries, the AEONS, it has been on the job, never stopping, never even hesitating, day in day out, year In year out, century in, century out! And they say it's good for two or three hundred million years more. The SUN! that not only keeps human beings alive, but all life, down to the most Insignificant spore on the moss along the railroad track, and the chipmunk dashing off under the giant fern! There are fidelity and service for you! But how much attention do we pay to it? How much gratitude do we really feel for it? Why most of us kick like steers if anyone suggests, we get up early enough, once in a decade or two, to greet it respectfully when it arises, and show some faint signs we appreciate its work! We suggest the Yogi Movement retire in favor of the modern and honorable order of Sun Worshippers. Is there a second? Three days and three nights out from North Bay 76 hours to be exact. Naturally we became pretty well acquainted with the men and women on the train, all Canadians, with the exception of an Irish doctor and his wife from Belfast, who plan to spend the winter with their son and daughter in Victoria. And quite as naturally the war was the chief topic of con versation. With the exception of the Irish doctor, his wife never talked about the war In our presence, there was a common attitude toward the war, no one wanted it, but now that Great Britain has been forced into it, Canada is behind her to a man and wom an, and there will be no stop until Herr Hitler is not only thoroly whipped, but all that he stands for has been swept from every chancellory in Europe. In fact not only as a result of our experi ence on this trans-Canadian train but our experience in Canada for over a week, we would say, that Canada is far more enthusi astically and completely behind England in this war than was the case in 1014. And we wouldn't except Quebec although that is the one province, where an anti-war party exists, and promises to function after a fashion, in spite of its recent overwhelming defeat. Yes, Canada is 100 for the war and pursuing it, until Hitler has bitten the dust for keeps. Yet, generally speaking there is a complete absence either of war enthusiasm, or German hate. , There was one Canadian aboard the train, in whose views we were particularly interested, a veteran of the World war, a member of the British Columbia parliament, and even in his 40's, well known throughout the Pacific northwest as a brilliant amateur athlete, this man gave such an intelligent, sane, and yet convincing view of the present sorry and we told him so, that make a lecture tour, or go on the Forum broadcast. Captain X fought for three years in France, entered as an Infantry private and came out a captain in the air force, but running through all his remarks was FIRST: complete and un compromising condemnation of the Treaty of Versailles and its punitive spirit; and SECOND: the hope that not only this time there will be no repetition of that mistake, but that the final result will be, the formation of a United States of Europe, with Germany, England, France and Italy presenting a united front against Stalin and the Communists. Time after time he would say: "Why 'we shouldn't be fighting Germany and if we hadn't forced Hitler on Germany at Versailles we wouldn't be. The one supremo danger to Europe is Commun ism, Communism and its hulf-brother Fascism, and Germany and England should be arm In arm against it. That was Chamberlain's idea, and if he hadn't had a criminal and a maniac to deal with, that would have been the result at Munich. That's going to be the result anyway unless the war utterly destroys all our common sense and judgment. But before that or anything else can be done. Hitler of course must be blacked out. blacked out so he will STAY out. And if they need me again this lime, I am ready to crank up and help them do it!" There was a great deal more, some of which we doubt if it Miild be wise, to repeat. He was extremely lenient as far as Lindbergh was concerned, an opinion not shared by most ot those present. But we liked the this attitude revealed, as for that expressed. "I have met Lindbergh once," he explained, "and liked his complete absence of side and fluff. Why crucify the poor chap because he accepted some poor advice,--a deplorable mistake, YES, but why not take all his .lip. and try to ruin him because of it. That's one thing I can't understand about you Americans, you insist upon making demi gods out of your own, and then stone them to death when you discover they are merely flesh and blood. What did you expect? We had a great aviator too, Bishop but we didn't insist upon making him out a demi god, we gave the man the V. C. and let it go at that. But if he should sny something now that we re garded as unwise, would we wish at once to tear the mans' heart out? No, not at all. We really do believe in free speech, and we would balance one fool remark he or anyone else. might make, against the many that WEREN'T." Incidentally we have yet to hear the slightest suggestion in Canada, of criticism of Chamberlain. In fact many Canadians have said thatliad Chamberlain broken with Hitler at Munich, and war resulted, Canada would have refused any military assist ance. It was what Hitler did AFTER Munich that convinced Canada that Hitler had to go, and much as they detested war, force alone could do it. R, W. R.

SALT WATE A standard solution for eye drops or eye wash is made by dissolving a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid (formerly call ed b o r a c i c acid) in boiled water, prefer ably rain or snow water or distilled water, a pint. Boric acid is cheap. It comes in gran u 1 a r or cry s t a 1 1 i n e form or in the form of fine white powder. Boric acid is an tiseptic. That is to say, it tends to retard or stop the multipli cation of germs. It is not germ icidal that is, it does not de stroy all germs. It is compara tively non-irritating to the befdy tissues and non-poisonous except in very large quantity. Boric acid has no specific "healing" or remedial effect, so far as I know. When such a solution of boric acid is used as drops or as eye wash, the patient with inflam mation of the eyes may feel that it soothes the discomfort. When used either as drops in the eye or as an eyewash it should always be warmed to nearly the body temperature. If you drop plain water in the eye it smarts and irritates. But if you dissolve a rounded teaspoonful of common table salt in the pint of water, boiled water, and use such a solution, at about body temperature, as drops or eyewash, it is non irritating That is approximately the . salt strength of the tears. These same strengths of boric acid solution or salt solution, made with boiled water, pref erably rain or snow water or distilled water, are better for bathing wounds or burns or raw surfaces, for the same reason they are less irritating than plain water because they have nearly the same salt strength as the blood serum itself.

The story of the western progressive conference, blasted by that prac- j.-. i 1.1 i ltm T T nurie ie a political Aesop's fable, with the simple moral, "liberals are always amateurs." James Roose velt dodges in and out of it, clutching money-bags. John and Anna Boettiger are to be seen in the background, scattering hinuinffK. Rut the main actors are younger members of the new deal group, of the type more re markable for enthusiasm than practical experience. The notion of a western progressive conference was apparently conceived last spring by one Howard Costlpan. a leader of the Commonwealth fed eration In Seattle, Wash. Coftlaan is a friend of the Boettlgers. With his notion on his mind, he decided t come to Washington. In Washing ton, as the friend of the presidents daughter and son-in-law. he achieved a wide entree. He Is understood to have had Interviews with Harold L. Iefoes. Frank Murphy and Harry L. HopKlns, and to have been received at supper at the White House. While Costlgan was In Washington. he also paid a call on John L. Lewis and disclosed his plan to the labor leader. Lewis tentatively promised support, but on the specific condition that he or his lieutenants be con sulted at every stnge in the prepara tions. Cost lean seemed to understand Lewis's stipulation, and departed for home after assuring Lewis that the C. I. O. would have Its say. Shortly thereafter, Norman N".

R EYE WASH eyes or whatever I would as soon have some home made boric acid solution or some plain salt solution as any fancy "antiseptic" solution you can name. For mouthwash or gargle I would as soon use plain boric acid solution as any other. Some medical men of wide experience believe that boric acid is especially potent in re t a r d i n g or preventing the growth and multiplication of the ubiquitous penumococcus, the germ responsible for pneu monia, many cases of tonsillitis and quinsy and many cases of acute coryza. Altogether boric acid solution and salt solution always pre pared fresh, from boiled water, in the quantity you will use within a day or two, are ex cellent remedies for many com mon ailments and deserve the respect and confidence of intelli gent people.

Calif. ers which produced the third term theme Bong, "Mr. Roosevelt, Why Don't You Run Again?" In Wash ington, younger men close to Ben jamin N. Cohen and Thomas O. Cor coran lent a hand, although Corcoran and Cohen apparently were not direct participants. The word waa passed' that financ ing would be forthcoming through James ' Roosevelt, who was John Lewis's "anonymoUB ' Individual In California counted on to provide a plentltude of money." Whether or not the word was correct, the plan ners were spurred by the belief that the president's eldest son was with them. It waa also believed that the Boettlgers were working with Cos tlgan. In spite of all this busy activity, however, the conference never as- i sumed definite shape. It was hoped that the president would address It during the west coast expedition which was cancelled by the war. Senator George W. Harris was thought of for the chairmanship and sponsors as far apart as Harold Ickes and Senator Key Pitt man were men tioned. An agenda wrs drawn up, lr. which the third term issue was not mentioned. Yet only one thing about the conference was not vague. Its ultimate purpose was to build a west coast political organization of progressive flavor, which might later be used bv the third term movement. This was the foundation or Lewis's attack. The conference received its first setback with the outbreak of the war, for It waa hardly consonant with the president's plea for non partlsanshlp. Reportedly at the sug gestion of members of the White House secretariat, who had Joined Mellte in disapproval, the conference was postponed from October until January. Then John Lewis had a chat with California's Oovernor Cul bert L. Olson during the C. I. O. convention in San Francisco. Olson, who had been approached about the conference, mentioned It to Lewis as being tn a fairly advanced stane. Unfortunately, Costtgan had forgot ten Lewis's stipulation, and the C. I. O. leader had been calmly ignored. He was distinctly riled. He returned to Washington in an Irritable mood, and called Senator Burton K. Wheeler of, Montana, who has lately forrmd a close alliance with htm. Wheeler snld he had heard nothing cither, and added a few sharp words in his best style about political newcomers who arrcyrate all liberalism to themselves. Lewis Is not In a very friendly mood towards the new deal or the new dealers He thinks they need a sharp lesson that labor is their ally, not their dependent. Accordingly, he issued his blast to teach the lesson. And the conference may now be said to be up the spout. . . - Pine Cut Drops Portland.

By FRANK JENKINS SPY stories are coming from Switzerland today convic tions for telling military secrets, but no shootings, indicating that the cases are relatively unim portant. One concerns a 35-year-old dancer, jailed but not shot, and described as the "pawn of mysterious higher-ups." The movies ought to get some good material out of that. piNLAND, moving cautiously, admits that Russia's demands for strengthening Leningrad and improving the Russian position in the Baltic are reasonable, but intimates that Russia's virtual ultimatum will have to be soft ened somewhat if it is accepted.

STORIES of increased German Russian COMMERCIAL co operation are numerous in the dispatches today, but as yet no shred of evidence of MILITARY co-operation between Stalin and Hitler has shown up. It is evidence of military co operation between these gangster lords that the diplomats are watching for. , IT is still a war of diplomacy, with military and naval war fare mere unimportant episodes. The diplomatic warfare hasn't been going so well for Hitler lately. The Turkish treaty with the British-French allies was a hard jolt, and Mussolini's recent shake-up of his black shirts, in which pro-Germans appear to have lost out and anti-Germans were elevated to positions of greater responsibility, conveys the idea that Italy is shifting steadily away from the possi bility of joining with Germany. Inside reports from Italy inti mate that the Italian people won't stand for any such adven ture and that Mussolini is care fully WATCHING PUBLIC OPINION. TpODAY'S dispatches intimate that recent German fighting on the western front has been merely a test staged by Hitler's generals to show him that a gen eral offensive this fall or winter couldn't hope to succeed. The war is still in the so-called screwy stage, but don't overlook the fact that when the diplomats fight relatively few lives are lost. That is something. 4 At The National Capitol with John W.

ACCORDTNQ to a government official, . a survey of 70 cases where corporations have contested decisions of the National Labor Rela tions board, shows that It cost the average corporation J24.500. These were corporations with a capital of S50.000 or less. Costs are plied up against the employer by such meth ods as having an entire book copied for the record Instead of citing page and the vital paragraphs. This is duck soup for the official reporters as the employer must buy a copy of the transcript. An apoioglst for the board excul pates the members, saying that the costs are caused by the examiners and that board members do not know the practices of the examiners In razzing employers. A glaring example of running up costs by stuffing the record occurred In a lumber cae involving Oregon and Washington.
