Palm, professor of modern European history at the University of Cal ifornia. "There is little reason to doubt that some of the funda mental causes of the war He In this country," he declared. "In the United States today there exists an important part of the Maginot line of capitalistic-democratic defense, as one of the fundamental reasons for the whole struggle." America's "curse of Midas," exemplified by the "hoarding of a goodly portion of the world's gold at Fort Knox, Ky." was cited bv Palm ns one of h. contributing American factors mat brought about the war. "The European struggle." he slated, "is rooted in the depres sion of 1922 which marked the crisis and climax of an age old struggle for world markets." "The war now going on," he said, "is fundamentally a strug gle between 'haves' and 'have nots' with two types of economy finance capitalism and state capitalism each fighting to prevail."

Fublis f(t try sVpuTin Stalin Follows Hitler CONQUEST by force is bad enough. But when a nation supple ments that with treachery, hypocrisy and deceit, ai Soviet Russia has done in the case of Finland, one wonders if the limit to moral decline from a national standpoint, hasn't really been reached! No one could condone, In this day and age, the unprovoked attack of a great military power, like Russia, upon a small, com paratively weak neighbor like Finland, merely because the former coveted certain points of naval and military value, within the boundaries of the latter. That is imperialistic militarism in its most exaggerated and medieval form. But, as the world goes, there is of course, ample precedent for that. EVEN Charlemagne and Napoleon at their worst however, (if our memory of history isn't at fault) didn't try to paint their victims, as outlaws and aggressors and themselves as plaster saints. They were no paragons of virtue, but at least they weren't out-and-out liars and snivelling hypocrites. When the former marched against Rome, as we recall it, he didn't try to make out he was protecting Paris from a Roman Invasion! When Bonaparte invaded Russia, he didn't pretend, the Czar had first attacked and killed the soldiers of France. They both went out to take 'by force what they wanted, and what they believed would add to the glory and power of their native lands, they didn't try to draw over their depredations the cloak of piety or self righteousness. Above all, they didn't try to place the moral guilt of subsequent bloodshed and rapine, they themselves brought about, upon the unoffending heads of their victims. They were ruthless enough Heaven knows, but at least they had a certain rugged integrity, and didn't add to the crime of violence, the evil of Pecksniffian pretense. BUT that Is what the Kremlin, through Brother Molotoff, has done or attempted to do. From the first, according to the Soviet foreign office, Finland has been the offender and the ag gressor, the willing tool of alien militarists, a country thirsting for blood, and blind to all reason or persuasion, the country that for the protection of Petrograd, and integrity of the largest power in Europe, must be crushed. And perhaps the most depressing feature of the entire sicken ing business, is the fact that Stalin and his associates would hardly resort to such barefaced, infantile mendacity, if they didn't know, the Russian people or at least a majority of them, were gullible enough to swallow it. Certainly they can't believe anyone outside of Russia will be lieve such nonsense. The whole nauseating clap-trap must have been rlgged-up solely for home consumption, so the people of Russia will support their red army and navy in a war of "self defense." Incredible to anyone outside a totalitarian state, but It only goes to show, we fear, what an absolute tyranny, with the control of the press, the abolition of free speech and free assembly, can do in this supposedly enlightened age, as far as the control of public thinking and therefore public policy and action are concerned. BUT even more serious from the standpoint of world peace and stability, than this Invasion of Finland by Soviet Russia per se, is the inescapable implication, that not only has Stalin adopted the Hitler technique, but if this conquest of Finland by force Is really carried out, and Finland to all intents and purposes becomes a part of Russia, then the die Is cast as far as Hitler and Stalin are concerned, the latter can't afford from then on to let an allied conquest of Nazi Germany take place, if he can prevent it. In other words if this Invasion of Finland, is what it SEEMS to be, then that non-aggression alliance between Germany and Russia is pretty sure to develop eventually, if it hasn't already, into a military one, And that, from any standpoint of world security and world decency is, in our judgment, the worst news since the war started. Don't Miss "Hay Fever" WE hereby let our readers in on a newspaper secret. One of the bancs of non-metropolitan journalism are amateur theatricals. For while they can't be Ignored by the small daily, as they can be and are by the city press; nothing of real value can be said about them, because nothing discriminating is wanted by anyone. As a result, amateur theatrical reviews in the small daily field, are a total loss as far as honest criticism is concerned, and a terri ble chore as far as the newspaper staff is concerned, they come under the general heading of blah and nothing else. This is not because of any timidity on the part of the news papers or fear of losing a few subscribers, that isn't it it is rather due to the essential nature of all amateur theatrical work. No one expects them to be good from any professional stand point. With them the "higher criticism" or any real criticism Is therefore out of place. Like roasting the one-legged baseball player it could be done of course, but the point is NOT that he played such a poor game but that he could play the GAME AT ALL! So with the amateur actors, the wonder is not that they are at times so bad, but that they can, with their inexperience and usually brief training, ACT AT ALL. THEREFORE, we feel disposed to supplement whatever may appear in another column of this paper regarding the perfor mance of Noel Coward's "liny Fever" at the High school auditor ium, Inst night (which as above Indicated will be accepted as the usuaj complimentary reader and nothing else) with the statement, that it was really one of the very best amateur performances this department has ever seen, and those who fail to attend tonight, will miss an evening of genuine and refreshing entertainment. In fact there was only one flaw from first to last, and that was a minor one. The property man slipped when he didn't put coffee or something more closely resembling coffee than hot water in the breakfast table coffee pot! So if you want a good laugh and see some genuinely good amateur acting, acting with the ease, restraint and naturalness that amateur Beting almost always LACKS, get a sent before It's too late at the final showing tonight.

SUSCEPTIBILITY TO H In order to keep the discussion on a practical basis and avoid vague conjecture It is well to remember that no one knows what "resist ance" me a n s, but we do know what im munity means, and so when we speak of s u s ceptibility to .respiratory infection, whe ther it is diph theria or influ enza or pneu monia or simple sore throat we mean that the individual has less immunity against the specific lnicction than is necessary to protect him against the disease. Whether any particular factor or influence or condition or group of influences may raise or lower an individual's immunity to many or all of the respiratory infections is debatable. In recent years many patholo gists have come to believe that lack of or insufficient intake of certain vitamins, notably vita min A, may render the individ ual more susceptible to any and all respiratory infections. The pathologists have formed this opinion from study of animal nutrition. They have found that a deficiency in the daily intake of vitamin A is responsible for impaired growth and function of the mucours membranes in all parts of the body, and when the mucous membranes lining the respiratory tract are not as heal thy and vigorous as they should be, the individual's first line of defense against bacterial inva sion is weakened. When an individual is unduly susceptible to respiratory infec tion there is one way he can find out whether his susceptibil ity is due to vitamin A deficien cy, and that is by seeing to it that his daily intake of vitamin A is considerably greater for a few months than may be neces sary to keep a normal individual perfectly well. It may be prac ticable in some instances to get such an optimal vitamin A in take from food alone as by drinking more rciUk and cream, eating more butter, egg yolk, carrot greens, liver, etc.; it is easier to take pure natural vita min A in a capsule to supple ment the diet say three cap sules daily, each capsule contain ing 25,000 units of natural vita min A (not pro-vitamin A or carotene, which requires meta The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Ine Washington, Nov. 29. The president's desire for domestic tranquility will have its first real test on December 5, when utilities executives will begin conferences with the national power policy committee on na tional defense power needs. For the sake of reasonable unity in the war emergency, the president undoubtedly wants to keep the business men and the conservative democrats as hap py as he can. But power policy is his personal hobby. It is the last field in which the new deal I group, always opposed to busi ness appeasement, remains ac tive and dominant. An aggres sive power policy is being urged on the president, and may tempt him so strongly that domestic tranquility will be knocked in to a cocked hat. From preliminary huffings. puffings and name-callings on both sides, it is being inferred that another big row between the utilities and the government is now in progress. This is not quite the fact. Both sides anxi ously desire to avoid a row. Both sides want to compromise. The trouble, which has already caused the huffings. puffings and name callings aforemen tioned, arises from the feeling of each side that it is misunder stood by the other. Three great questions are at issue: 1. The securities and exchange commission has a previously undis closed plitn to start stern legal pro ceedlnca against utllltlrs holding companies whK'h hr.ve proved slow In Intrtrntlni; thiniclvrs l;nd-r the holding company act. The members Brady, H O. ESPIRATORY INFECTION bolism in the animal body to convert it into natural or real vitamin A.) This therapeutic ex periment can do no harm in any circumstance may improve health in other respects than just immunity against respiratory in fection. For example it may re lieve chronic dry eyes and feel ing of "sand in the eyes," or night-blindness or undue sensi' tivity to glare in night driving. Another common factor of susceptibility to the more chro nic respiratory troubles, such as chronic rhinitis, chronic bronctv itis, chronic laryngitis, chronic sinusitis, is overheated and hence excessively dried out at mosphere in the house in the season of artificial heating. The indoor temperature should be kept between 64 and 68 de grees Fahrenheit and never per mitted to rise above 70. One means or another of "condition ing" the air, that is, humidifying it, should be used, no matter what method of heating is em ployed. I have a monograph on humidifying the home send a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Not In Same Category Why not give us some more talks about rheumatism, neuritis and the like? If you have any literature along this line I would thank you for a copy. (T. A. B.)

(Mrs. R. A. H.) Answer Ordinarily It Is advisable that the patient remain at rest In bed only as long aa the fever lasts, unless some complication occurs which makes longer rest necessary. Time for Pinner Our children aro five and seven years old and thoy go to bed at seven and eight o'clock respectively. Is It better for them to eat the main meal of the day at noon and a light supper at six o'clock, or lunch at noon and dinner at six? (P. D.l Answer Lunch midday, hearty meal at end of day.

Calif. of the SEC think they have waited long enough to get action from the utilities. A fair number of companies have been cooperative, and against these there Is no complaint. The large majority, however, are thought by the SEC to be waiting for 1940 and a possible change In the politi cal weather. This It Is not proposed to allow. Two methods of procedure are open separate suits against the re calcitrant companies, or mass suits sgalnst the entire Industry, to com pel It ss a whole to comply with the law. So strong la SEC feeling In the matter that the second, more severe procedure now seems more popular with the commission. S. The war has revived the presl (lint's pet project tor a public power development on the St. Lawrence river. This fell through hfnra tr eatise Of Opposition In th jutnnto and the Canadians' lack of Interest. it is inougnt that both the jennte and the Canadians msy now be brought round, and the project will probably be revived at the nut slon of congress. S. The grid system of high ten sion power lines to connect the large eastern utilities systems Is what win chiefly occupy the com mittee meeting on Tuesday. Con necting these systems Is thought vital by government experts. They want to spend 300.CO0.0O0 at once on the most essential links, and S00.ooo.000 more In a fire to seven year long-range program. The na tional power policy committee has already concluded that the money should be supplied by the govern ment, but there la argument whether the high tension lines, once built, would belong to the govern, ment or the utilities Except as na tional defense projects, they are un profitable. Each of these great questions Is thoroughly confused by clsmorous assertions and counter-assertions on both sides. Government men. like Harold Ickes snd Benjamin V. Co hen, regard the grid system of high tension lines as ptrfectly Innocent and very necessary. They state that until recently It was approved by the utilities men themselves. The utilities executives, on the other hand, see In the proposed system another governmental effort to ob tain an Increased foothold In their business, and are accordingly deeply aalrmed. So, too, the government men say that the St. Lawrence power project win affect only one utilities com psny. Nlsiiara-Hudson. and that It win be the policy to establish co operation between the prolect and the company. Utilities men regard the project as a symbol a violation of the prln.-lple thst there shall be no further governmental ventures In the power business. Aa for the dif ference between the utility men's and the SEC's Tlews of the utilities' compliance with the holding com pany act. It la such a broad chasm that bridging it will be well-nigh Impossible. Only the president can Impose a compromise. Bis handling of the problem will be highly Indicative. At the National Capitol With John W. Kelly (Continued from Page One.) attributed, perhaps, to distances, the impulse of westerners to move around and the willing ness to do without something else rather than be car-less. OK TUB farms of Oregon there are 89,830 passenger cars and 14.343 trucks. Washington farms have almost the same number of passenger cars, 69.S87, but while Washington farms are a trifle under Oregon with passenger cars, it has 23,793 trucks moving crops. Employed In the automobile busi ness In Washington are 93,335 and of these an army of 68.383 are truck drivers. Oregon's employes In the Industry number 60.454 and of these 44.320 drive trucks. PACIFIC coast Is the only area In the United States falling to show more placements by the pub lic employment service In October. Oregon's slump from September was 18 percent; Washington's 41 percent; California's 8 percent. But Idaho's employment, through this service, Increased 118 percent; Montana's In crease 18 percent. New registrations for Jobs with the service In October In Oregon were 15.947; Washington 23.431. Notwithstanding this record, the service placed 8,275 In private Jobs In Washington and 5,735 in Oregon last month: obtained public Jobs for 1171 In Oregon and the same kind of jobs for 1060 In Washington. Explanation for the falling off on the Pacific coast Is attributed to decllnea in agricultural placements, the fruit, hops and similar crops having been harvested, thus affect ing, particularly, migratory labor. GOVERNMENT scientists Indicate a potential Industry for Pacific Northwest. They claim that their ex periments have produced a wood plastic that can be manufactured and sold for four cents a pound, with a profit. While wood Is the base, when It has been processed Into plastic It Is something entirely different. This plastic can be moulded Into any shape or form and can be sub stituted for bakellte (the black tele phone receivers) which sells up to S3 a pound. A report on this wood plastic Is being prepared for sen ators Interested In finding some commercial use for wood waste of northwestern forests. IN this season of promotions In the marine corps.

FAMILY GROUPS IN MJE WORK By Alexander Kahn (U.R) Staff Correspondent Hollywood (U.R) Hollywood may not have a Royal Family of the screen, such as Ethel, Lionel and John Barrymore comprised on the stage, but there is an increasing number of family groups making their living through the medium of motion pictures. These include sister groups, father - and - son couples and brother-and-sister pairs. In the first category may be found the Lane sisters from In dianola, Iowa Lola, Priscilla and Rosemary. They worked to gether in the recently-finished "Four Wives". There is a fourth Lane sister, Leota, but she wasn't available and Gale Page was pressed into service as a sister in pictures. Then there are three Beerys in pictures now, Wallace, Noah and Noah, Jr. Jack Holt, action star for many years, and his son, handsome Tim Holt, both work in the movies. The de Havilland girls might be mentioned also. Olivia, who first established herself in pic tures, trained and coached her sister, Joan, but when the lat ter got a contract, she called herself Jean Fontaine, to avoid confusion and refrain from trad ing on Olivia's fame. Three of the Cagneys are now in pictures. Foremost, of course, is James. William is a producer on the same lot and also serves as Jim's business manager. The boys' younger sister, Jeanne, came from New York recently. Margaret Lindsay's young sis ter is another who changed her name upon making her picture debut. The younger Lindsay girl, is known as Jane Gilbert. The Gleasons, father, mother and son Jimmie, Lucille and Russell are a fond triple alli ance and sometimes all three appear in the same picture. Then of course, there are the Marx Brothers, likewise three in num ber now, and the mad Ritz Brothers.
