The Nazi Technique UNQUESTIONABLY a one-man dictatorship does something to a nation. Outside of Soviet Russia, we don't believe there is a govern ment, except Nazi Germany, that would have killed nine college students, and imprisoned 1200 because of a "liberty celebration" put on by the undergraduates, of a recently conquered country. Not only . would such drastic action, be instinctively repugnant to any really CIVILIZED nation; but it would so readily be recognized as bad policy, from the standpoint of the nation's own welfare. FOR these Prague students merely represented healthy and exuberant Czccho-S'.ovakian youth, and what more natural than an occasional demonstration of their resentment against the armed hivader, and their devotion to the liberty and freedom of their native land. That the demonstration in question was not a serious one, from the standpoint of local law and order, is clearly shown, by the fact that the people of Prague as a whole, never suspected trouble of any kind, at the university or elsewhere until the execution of the student ringleaders was announced. NO doubt the students of Prague had been under the observa tion of the Nazi secret service for sometime, and at the first sign of any demonstration, in marched the gangster strong-arm squad and the "blackshirt elite." The college "cheerleaders", many mere boys in their 'teens, were lined up against a wall forthwith and shot; while hundreds of others, boys and girls, were herded into Jail and concentration camps. We repeat only a one-man dictatorship would be guilty of a drab, brutal performance like that. For only such a government would be so devoid of humanity, and humor. WE don't deny that during war, more drastic methods are required than In times of peace. But during war or peace, no action like this could be justified, either from the standpoint of what Is morally right or politically effective. THE Nazi government has a great deal to say about Its need of colonies, and its determination to secure the return of the colonies taken away by the Treaty of Versailles. But under such an ideology as now reigns in Berlin, if it were given ALL THE COLONIES ON THE GLOBE, It couldn't hold its empire together for a month. For there are no collection of human beings in the world today, white or black, that would submit to such treatment as the Nazis employ against all aliens and non-Nordics. AND imagine what the reaction on Czecho-Slovakian youth will bel Thev may be quieted for the Immediate present no doubt, but not for long. And vow revenge against and freedom be guilty of such an Inhuman November 16th. In other words this latest "blood and iron" procedure by the Nazi government merely demonstrates again, that ever since the underworld gangsters of Berlin, seized the government, they have progressed by gangster methods, methods of cruelty, In timidation and ruthlessness. Such methods may succed after a fashion for a time, but sooner or later they are doomed to defeat, for an aroused public opinion not only without Germany but within will not tolerate it. In Prague, as in Poland and Germany Itself, the amoral and soulless one-man dictatorship has the dragon's teeth, "which eventually can only lead to the whirl wind of Its own destruction. A German s "fTNOWlNG Hitler's character, I am fully able to judge his present state of mind, which is that of an hysterical woman rejected by her lover. Hitler had hoped to win Britain's friend ship in order to carry out unmolested his conquest of the con tinent. Now that his love has been rejected, it has turned into violent hatred. So If Britain successfully repulses the projected attacks, it would have a devastating effect on the morale of the German army and the air force. For Hitler will launch a mili tary attack on Holland within the next few months, if not weeks." "Hitler plans to build aerodromes and submarine bases there to be used against Britain. As the founder of the "Black Front" antl-Hltler party in Germany I am in constant communication with the highest military men in the Fatherland, and this Is the information I have received": "Holland's Invasion is regarded by Hitler as essential for an effective attack on Britain, which, after the rejection of the recent "final peace offers," was the outstanding aim of Nazi strategy. "My colleagues in Berlin inform me that Goerlng has outlined tc Hitler a gigantic scheme against the British blockade. If given permission to sacrifice " 000 'planes, he promises that the Ger man air force will succeed in breaking the allies' superiority on sea. For this large scale attack, Holland is absolutely essential as a base as well as for the refuelling of submarines. According to the plan, the German air force will not attack London but will concentrate on British ports and convoys. "All the Information I have sizes that military circles are not at all confident about the war But as long as Hitler is able to claim successes as a "conqueror", they are forced to submit. "The critical time will come for Hitler in March, when starva tion during the winter has had Its effect. "Following the flight of llerr Thyssen, the steel magnate, from Germany, many other leading industrialists are getting out of the country with their families They are coming here to Switzerland where they are ostensibly staying for 'prolonged holidays.' But they have managed to get part of their fortunes out. They fear that Hitler's pact with Moscow must spell the reign of Bolshevism in Germany before long."

HIGH VITAMIN FOODS (2) Carotene, the form in which A occurs in vegetables, must be changed in the animal metab olism into nat ural vitamin A before it c a n function as vi tamin A in the body. Hence natural vita min A, from fish liver oil is pre ferable to carotene or provita m f n A from vegetable sources when the effects of vitamin A are desired. Tasteless soft capsules, each containing 25,000 international units of vitamin A natural, are now available for supplementing the diet with vitamin A. Likewise a tasteless solution of vitamin D in the neutral vegetable oil, each drop con taining 250 U. S. P. XI units, may be used for supplementing the diet of infant, child or adult with vitamin D or capsules of much higher potency may be used for remedial purposes, or pleasant tasting irradiated yeast tablets or candy mint wafers containing vitamin D in ade quate amount may be used to insure sufficient for the child's requirements. Foccls which are good sources of vitamin C are fresh or (fac tory, vacuum process) canned tomato and tomato juice, orange, lemon or grapefruit or lime or their juices, all fresh fruits or their juices in season, fresh greens and most fresh vege tables. Cooking destroys vitamin C, and the home canning process does, too, but the factory can ning process, the vacuum process, excluding oxygen, con serves considerable of the vita min C. Long storage destroys vitamin C. Exposure of fruit juice to oxidation, as in stand ing over night in the refriger ator, destroys considerable of the vitamin C.

Attor ney General Frank Murphy's appointment to the supreme court appears so probable that interest chiefly concentrates on the men who may move up the ladder behind him. It seems nearly as certain that Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson will be named to Murphy's place as that Murphy will inherit Justice Pierce Butler's vacant seat on the high bench. Thua the lollcltor generalship, which lawyers like to call the "big gost legal Job In the country," 1b the main prize offered for open compe tition. It Is strikingly Interesting that, as of today, Benjamin V. Cohen has at least an even chance to win it. Being a retiring man, he la any thing but an active candidate. But he is a logical choice, having per sonally originated many of the new deal's novel legal theories and drafted an actual majority of the greatest new deal stattitea. He Is also strongly supported by the cohesive group of government lawyers, economists, administrators and presidential advisers who often look to him for Intellectual Inspira tion. Cohen's appointment will not be a matter of course, by any means Due to the peculiar and quite decep tive legend which has grown up around Cohen and his partner. Thomas O. Corcoran, the president might fear a halr-rHlsing confirma tion fight If he sent Cohen's name to the senate. The group to which Cohen belongs does not wield quite It former influence, and there are reports of semt -commitment In other directions. Finally, the victims of Assistant Attorney General Thur man W. Arnold's ageresslve Mitt-trust progrnm may start a drive to kick Arnold upstairs. Murphy is an odds-on bet for the Justiceship because he Is a Roman Catholic and cornea from Michigan. If the president wants to keep Mur phy on the Job t the Justice depart ment, he may waive the sectional requirements in favor of the distin guished Boston lawyer. John J. Burns, former general counsel for the SEC and an outstanding Catholic layman His crony, Joseph P. Kennedy, ts said to have rushed to the telephone of Ii;s London embassy to put In a trans.

Little oxidation occurs while the fruit is whole. Pure vitamin C, ascorbic or cevitamic acid, is now available in tablets, each tablet contain ing the amount represented by nearly two ounces of orange juice. Lack of vitamin C or insuf ficient vitamin C causes the gums to become spongy and bleed easily, the jaw bones to become eroded, the teeth to be come loose in their sockets. For the daily ration of vita min B-complex three or four ounces of plain wheat or an ounce or two of wheat germ should be included in the diet of every child or adult. These may be taken raw or cooked as cereal or with other cereals, or incorporated in recipes calling for flour, in place of one-half of the flour. QIESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pneumothorax What Is the value of pneumothorax treatment of lug tuberculosis? (D. J.) Answer That is injection of air or gaa into the pleural cavity to col lapse the sick lung, giving It a rest of many weeks until the air or gas is gradually absorbed and the lung resumes work. Where the disease 1b confined to one lung it is of great value. Psoriasis Have you any suggestions for one subject to psoriasis? I have had It for about 18 years and it always seems worst In the spring. (R. M.) Answer Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph on psoriasis. Eggs and Allergy Husband used to have sinus trou ble, but has not had it for a long time lately, until he began eating eggs every morning, and now it la quite bad again.

Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D.. 269 El Camlno, Beverly Hills. Calif. otic helrarchy is understood to have seconded the nomination. An additional reason given for the recent Dutch-Belgian offer to medi ate the European war Is that Queen Wllhelmlna of the Netherlands la a strong moral re-armer. She ts not a member of the Oxford group, for she dislikes the groupers' plnce-nezed leader. Dr. Prank N. D. Buchman, who was lately photographed beam ing a blessing at Mae West. But the groupers' "moral rearma ment" doctrine, that all will be for the beat In this best of possible worlds If we only hope so hard enough, appeals to the serious-minded queen. The president la so Inordinately fond of accumulating bric-a-brac that his desks are always crowded with small, useless objects and the wall of his studies and offices cov er dwith prints and pictures. Two recent additions to his collection, large photographs of Justlcn Felix Frankfurter and Senator George Nor rls. are not without a certain signif icance. He picked them out, as he explained, because their subjects were the two men In American public life whom he most admired. The photographs were done by a German refugee, Ferdinand Vogel. Vogel, a friend of Commissioner of Labor Statistics Isador Lubln, has been making a portrait gallery of American public men. Lubln took some of Vogc1' work to the president In order to persuade him to sit for the photographer. The president was deeply impressed by the Frankfurter and Norrls pictures, which are simply realistic studies, magnificently suc cessful in revealing character. He ordered copies on the spot. These have now been aifecttonately in scribed by Frankfurter and Norrts and will soon be framed and pre sented. It's easy to explain the state departments failure to offer Hitler excessively insincere congratulations on his escape from assassination. In such cases, two procedures are1 open. Dtplomata of foreign nations may call at the foreign offtce. say a few polite words to the appropriate offi cial, and write their names in a book kept for the purpose, which la like leaving a calling card. This was done by the American charge d'affalrea at Berlin. Alexander Kirk. Sending a congratulatory message Is a second course, resorted to as a special gesture of friendship. Nervous neutrals hastened to send messages, but the president decided not to when the neutrals' messages were collected In a German propaganda sheet showing how everyone Ipved the fuehrer. Rat Population Of Portland Quite High Portland. Nov. 18. (A) Portland has six rats to every human being, and it is high time something was done about it. Dr. Adolph Weinzirl, city health officer, declared today. He said he would ask federal, state and civic cooperation in ridding the city of at least part of its rodent population.

Reunions are usually held twice a year and all degrees from the 4th to 32nd, inclusive, are given members of the class for initia tion. At the forthcoming reunion lunch and dinner will be served in the dining' room and a large delegation of prominent Masons is expected to attend. Medford bodies shared In honors given by the supreme council at their meeting m Oct ober. Ezra M. Wilson, past grand master of the Blue lodge of Ore gon, and present venerable mas ter of Kadosh of the Medford consistory, was elected to re ceive the 33rd degree. Paul B. Rynnlng, commander of tho Medford council, was elected knight commander, court of honor. The two were in Port land Saturday for investiture. At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly (Continued from Page One.) TWO types of camps are in Oregon : "mobile" and permanent. Wash ington has - the permanent type. Permanent camps have two-room houses with bath, water and modern sanitation, with a community hall and a little land on which garden truck la supposed to be raised. A two-room house rents or 8 a month. The "mobile" caenps have no houses, but platforms for tenta. with community laundry and bath ing facilities. "Mobile" camp la slml-' lar to the pioneer automobile camps of 16 or 20 yeara ago. One criticism of the camps Is that they are not always located in the most convenient neighborhood. The camp near Dayton. Ore., ts a bit too far from the hopyarda and orchards and similar sources of work, accord ing to complaints brought to the national capital. That the camps almost like con centration camps serve a useful purpose is unquestioned by those who have traversed the coast and have seen the migrants, like gypsies, huddled under miserable shelters of tin and tar paper on the outskirts of towns such as In Tdaho. ... IN the cause of temperance, con gress will be requested to change the law requiring bonded whisky to be 100 proof and lowering the proof to 86. Here Is the argument: Scotch whisky la 86 proof and It ia said to be popular because it Is lighter Bonded whisky must be 100 proof (note It on the green stamp), a dif ference of 24 higher than Scotch and In two or three highballs, using the same size Jigger, the consumer la acquiring a creater load of alcohol from bonded whisky than from Scotch. It la not because It is considered "smart" to serve Scotch, but because It la lower proof than the American hootch. Reduction of the proof of bonded stuff will be urged for two reasons: sobriety and assistance to the Amer ican Industry. American distillers will request the legislation. ...

Remember This in the Tribune Nov. 8th? Not Smart, Just Dumb Certainly if h- delightful concert at the Holly last night doesn't assure the success of the remainder of the current musical "series", then nothing can. Before the gifted Viennese. Ossy Renardy appeared, the complaint waa frequently heard that the series represented an effort to put over two unknown and Inferior artists, on the prestige and popularity of one Marlon An derson, the famous colored contralto. This allegation was emphatically denied by those supporting the series, who knew better But Judging from the ticket sales a certain and sizable skepticism remained. Now those who really appreciate good music and failed to attend last night's con cert are kicking themselves all over the town site and with good reason. They thought they were being smart, and were only being dumb. A more entirely charming violin recital has ne-er been heard In southern Oregon, and we doubt If one ever will be. Those who missed It, missed a musical treat of truly surprising proportions. A word to the wise SHOULD be sufficient It will take the S. B.
