Perhaps It Would be a Miracle
TO HUMI
X A The Republican presidential
In the middle, J. Styles Bridges
long enough to tell the Multnomah Republicans:
"The one miracle left to free the white man from the
situation he la facing today la the Republican party."
(AND we presume, Senator J. Style Bridges.)
But WHY that curious term, "MIRACLE?"
By all the laws of the political tides, which ebb and flow
almost as regularly as those of the ocean, next year should be a
Republican year. The Democrats have had two consecutive terms
which has been the limit of their ascendancy since the first battle
of Bull Run. All traditions and precedents would be overturned,
If they should have THREE.
JUDGEMENTS differ, of course, but the best authorities in Wash
ington believe, President Roosevelt will not run for a third
term. If he doesn't, who can lead the party to a victory over the
Republicans, for the Bth year?
Of course the Republican nominees, thus far mentioned,
haven't been so hot either. But at least they are no worse than
those mentioned during the close of the former Democratic
(Wilson) administration, also a war administration. And the
C. O. P. then won hands down, Not because the people of this
country were so enamoured of them, as they were fed up on
their opponents.
Why does the New Hampshire senator think that old reliable
swing of the pendulum won't hold good next year? Or does he
use "miracle" not as a deviation from the expected, but merely
as something to be desired?
NOT knowing Senator J. Styles
his speech in full, we can't
that "miracle" just slipped out, wasn't a product ot the senator's
analysis of the political situation so much as a product of the
self-conscious.
At any rate the New Hampshire solon's subsequent remarks,
as reported by the press, certainly indicate that if he fairly repre
sents his party's view point, then in spite of all the natural forces
in its favor, it WILL be a MIRACLE if the Republicans show I
enough intelligence and political shrewdness, to take advantage J
of their opportunities, in 1940. '.
Certainly the leader of the party must have something more
original and constructive to offer than Mr. Bridges, the return
of a high protective tariff, rugged individualism, free enterprise,
and all the other warmed-over hocus pocus, that went down with
the ship in 1936.
Undoubtedly the ebb tide from a Democratic standpoint has
set in. and the Grand Old Party may not have to do MUCH, but to
get the votes of any American majority next year, it will have to I
do MORE than that!
OUR own belief is the American people next year, will be in
the mood for a change. But if the only alternative to a con
tinuance of Democratic rule, is a return to the Smoot-Hawley
Republicanism of a decade past, then smart money will again
back the New Dealers, and smart money as usual will be right.
Return to Smoot-Hawley?
THE fruit growers and timber owners of Oregon, don't like
Secretary Hull's trade treaty agreements, and according to
report, are a unit in favor of their repeal.
Both Interests want, not underselling foreign competition but
protection, and as a result these reciprocity agreements promise
to be an important issue in next year's presidential campaign.
WELL there is this to say on behalf of the fruit and timber
Industries of this state. Both are having a difficult enough
time to avoid complete bankruptcy, not to be harassed) by having
to repel a flood of cheap products from Canada, Argentine, or any
other foreign land. If any American industries deserve protection
and they do, certainly the fruit and timber industries should
be listed among those most in need of it.
B
UT needed and legitimate protection is one thing; high pro
tection, Smoot-Haley protection is quite another. For the j
former is given only where protection is needed for normal '
domestic operation; the latter is given to create and maintain, I
virtual American monopolies, through what comes close to being
an absolute embargo.
EVERYONE knows what such protection did to this country,
particularly to the farmers during its operation. Our custom
ers abroad, retalliated with similar embargoes, foreign trade de
clined, sharply, and while there were other factors of course,
experts are pretty well agreed that the Smoot-Hawley embargo
was one of the major causes of the early '30's depression.
So there is another side to this tariff question, as there is to
most questions, and It is one all fair-minded citizens should care
fully consider, for in this matter as in all others, the goal should
be, not what is best for this particular section or that, but what
Is best for the COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
N this direction, there are we believe, certain obvious facts
no one will deny, to-wit:
The United States is no longer a debtor country.
It is a creditor country.
It can't be paid in gold.
It can only be paid in goods and services.
But an embargo tariff prevents any such payment.
Moreover while foreign sales are' only a small percentage of
total sales, that small percentage is vital to American prosperity.
Its complete destruction would result In a depression that would
make the crash of '29 look like the loss of baby's penny bank.
Finally the United States approximately can only sell to
foreign customers, as much as it buys from them.
"pilEREFORE to maintain any sort of prosperity In this country.
certain products from other countries must be purchased by
this country.
The only real question is what foreign goods can be purchased
which will injure the American economy least.
In so far as the present administration is building up U. S.
foreign trade, by importing the maximum of products which don't
compete with American products, and the minimum of products
that do, we believe it should be commended. In so far as it fails
to do this, we feel it should be condemned and the course it has
adapted, corrected.

CALCIUM WILL STOP
Seems as tho any new idea or
suggestion given here goes in
one ear and out of the other the
first half dozen times. But if we
keep reiterating the thing event
ually a few readers will begin
to get it.
Muscle cramps in the legs,
sometimes in the arms, coming
on at night,
waking the
victim from
sleep and conv
pelling him or
her to get up
and rub the
cramped mus-
cles or work
them actively
for a time to
get relief, are
a common
complaint - of
persons past
middle age. Generally there is
no particular trouble, in the cir
culation or in the vessels in the
limbs. It seems to be just a
touch of tetany, I think. Of
course I'm merely a plodding
old door-to-door doctor peddling
my favorite recipes, which I
have probably cooked up in the
clothes boiler out in the back
lot. I neither guarantee any
thing nor demand anything.
Now in reference to these
cramps. I say I regard the con
dition as tetany. Ordinarily te
tany (not tetanus) is seen in in
fants, but probably many cases
in adults escape recognition
simply because physicians are
not looking for it. The typical
tetany of infants affects the
hands chiefly, less often the
muscles of face, trunk, some
times the larynx.
Tetany in young children in
their second year is often as
sociated with rickets. The char
acteristic condition is an ex
treme irritability of the nervous
system and a marked tendency
to muscle spasm and to convul
sions. There is a calcium de
ficiency, either deficient assimil
ation of calcium from the food
or failure to utilize and retain
calcium in the blood and tis
sues. So far as the adult tetany is
concerned, the cramps are soon
relieved if the patient takes
some form of calcium two or
three times a day for a week or
so, from time to time, as needed.
Say five or ten grains of calcium
lactate before or after meals
three times daily. It is always
advisable to take some vitamin
D when taking calcium, for vita
min D is essential for the assim
ilation, utilization and retention
of calcium. For this reason I

Washington, Dec. 2. From
neighboring neutral sources
comes a sad little story which
somehow seems the most effec
tive footnote to Russia's brutal
invasion of Finland. The diplo
mats of this neighboring neutral
have been watching the Finnish
situation with terrified Intcnt
ness. They are inclined to be
lieve that last Sunday's border
incident, which set off the Rus
sian attack, was a real occur
rence. It will be remembered how
the Russians charged the Finns
with firing seven salvos of artil
lery into Russian troops station
ed Just northwest of the town of
Mninla, and how these salvos
and subsequent, probably imag
inary border troubles were mag
nified Into a "threat to Lenin
grad." If the little story is to be
credited, the seven salvos were
actually fired, but not by the
Finns. They were, in fact, the
stupid mistake of a Russian offi
cer, who feared a tyrant's pun
ishment for stupidity, and re
ported a Finnish offensive to
save his own skin.
In a world gone mad, such stories
are more than likely to be true.
Meanwhile, the state department Is
waiting for the Invasion of Finland
to settle the long argument which
has recently divided It and most
other foreign olllces In the world.
This aiyument may be roughly de
scribed aa being between the fearers
of the worst and the hopers for the
best.
The hopers for the best, among
them are round the shiest ytolu-y offi
cials at the top of the department,
believe that the Rusao-Clerman pact
was Hltl'r's lst glssntle gamble,
made in the brllef that the English
and French would not fight, and that

the pact's promises could be forgotten
after the Invasion of Poland.
These men argue that, having been
forced to allow all the concessions to
Russia named In the pact. Hitler Is
now quite as fearful of the menace
to the east aa of the nlli. r,n
west. They explain Germany's failure
to begin the "ar In earnest" by a
desperate, lingering hope for settle
ment by negotiation, arising out of
this fear of Russia. Most of the best
American army experts agree with
the hopers for the best.
The fearers of the worst, who are
chiefly composed of the wisest career
men in the foreign service, take the
opposite track. They say that the
Russo-German pact ought to be In
terpreted as an effort to unite against
a common enemy, the British empire,
which haa long stood In the paths of
both Germany and Russia. They re
gard conflicts of Russian and German
Interests In the Baltic and Balkans aa
quite minor, compared to the pact's
grand object. Their theory, and the
theory of the hopers for the best,
will be well tested tn the next weeks,
as the real German reacUon to the
Invasion of Finland slowly appears.
Experts here at last feel fairly aure
about the mechanism of the Ger
mans' so-called "magnetic mine." As
reported here, there waa no truth in
the first stories that the mine waa
attracted to passing vessels by mag.
netlsm. Instead, the mine Is station
ery. Generally laid on the bottom In
shallow waters, it Is charged with
auch powerful explosives that its ex
plosion destroys a ship even at some
distance.
It Is called "magnetic" only because
Ita detonator mechanism la governed
by magnetism, being set to go off In
response to a magnetic Impulse of a
certain strength. The mechanism Is
arranged ao that only ahlps passing
near enough to be damaged by the
mine exert enough pull to detonate It.
Most of the mines are laid by sub
marines, although experta grant that
the mine-field may be thickened
from the air. The worst difficulty ites
in sweeping for these mines. Probably
wooden mine-sweepers will have to
be used, as rumored.
The membera of the Ill-fated war
rrsourcea board got their second
great surprise the other day. when
the president disclosed that the board
would continue to exist aa an "advi
sory" body for the army and navy
munitions board. The first surprise
occurred, of course, when the presl.
dent suddenly announced that the
board would be disbanded after mak
ing Its report.
Board members now know that the
reason why they were abruptly inter
rupted waa the combined etfect of
the attack on them as a "J. P. Morgan
group" and the threat of a gad-fly
tnrestlKatlon by Senators Clark and
Nye. They closed their report wth
tiie remark that they felt they had
"rendered the y. r.'.'al service" for
which they were chosen, and that
"so long as the United states la not
engaged In war. such a board haa no
power and no executive responsi
bility." They did offer to act In an "advi
sory relationship" to the army and
navy munitions board, but hardly
expected their offer to be taken up.
This advisory function, however, wae
what was planned for the board from.

By Frank Jenkins
This, today, is the most im
portant question in the world:
What does STALIN want?
Here is the probable answer:
He wants to be MASTER OF
THE WORLD.
TAKE a look at the map. You
will note that Finland, com
manding the Baltic sea on the
north, offers possibilities of an
attack on Russia from the west
To be master of the world, one
must first be SAFE FROM AT
TACK at home.
Hence Stalin's brutal seizure
of little Finland.
COMMUNISM, by means of
revolution, mastered Rus
sia. By intrigue and seizure of
despotic power, Stalin has made
himself MASTER OF COM
MUNISM. His next step, in logical order,
will be to make use of com-
munsim's technique of revolu
tion to MASTER THE WORLD.
DEVOLUTION is the weapon
of despair. If it is to be
effective, its intended victims
must first be REDUCED TO
DESPAIR. As a promoter of
disillusionment and -despair,
WAR has been unexcelled since
the world began.
In a world war, Stalin finds
his opportunity to master the
world by means of communist
inspired revolution. ,
Dismiss from your mind,
therefore, Stalin's effort to pic
ture Russia as the peacemaker.
His purpose is to INVOLVE
THE WORLD IN WAR so that
out of war's despair he may
hope to inspire world revolu
tion. It is a grandiose scheme, but
there is plenty of evidence that
Stalin has grandiose ideas.
OINCE the smashing of Poland,
the war has lagged. Both
sides have moved with extreme
caution. Why? It is not impos
sible that both sides (kept in
formed by their spies) have been
awaiting the unmasking of Sta
lin's purpose.
If so, the seizure of Finland
should tell them much.
"OFFICIAL Nazidom announces
(not very convincingly)
that "Germany Is sympathetic
with Russia" in the Finnish hor
ror. In the same way, Al Capone
was doubtless broadly sympa
thetic with John Dillinger. But
if, at any moment, Dillinger's
operations had begun ip men
ace him, Capone's "sympathy'
would have turned to hatred.
From this distance, it looks
very much as if Stalin's pur
poses are a MENACE to Hitler.

Selfishness Causes War
To the Editor
I do not share your wonder
at the why of war: If there is
any one thing that should be
plain to us from all the records
of the past it is the fact that un
restrained selfishness Is the
cause of all our conflicts in life.
Selfishness is the basic cause
of all so called evil in the world
and always has been.
It also is the mainspring of
all our industry and progress,
in fact our very life: without
it we could not exist.
AH our laws of civilization
are for the purpose of restrain
ing our energies along these
lines.
The original object of com
bining forces was for the pur
pose of robbing others, or keep
from being robbed, and it per
sists to the present day.
Our experience has taught us
and it is universally conceded
that it is necessary to have a
strong police force to protect
us from the over zealous selfish
ness of the citizens of our own
country.
Combined power and selfish
ness as represented by dictators,
or gang leaders, is sure to bring
robbery, plunder, and murder.
There is no respect to person
or property from this element.

it has always been so and we
should know it.
Why not apply our knowledge
that selfishness must be re
strained by force, and act on it,
as a world principal, as well as
we do in our own home town?
To divide the world in several
strong forces only makes the
conflicts more sure and dread
ful. There must be only one strong
force to insure peace and free
us from this Jreadful scourge
that preys upon our civilization
like a hungry monster to de
vour. The remedy is plain and
simple. Yes of course there are
many annoying obstacles to ov
ercome and many details to
work out, but nothing more dif
ficult than our original thirteen
states-had to contend with when
they Federated in 1787 on the
brink of destruction from inter
nal strife and discord.
The World is facing just such
a crisis right now and feder

How About Hide Sales
Phoenix, Oregon
Nov. 30, 1939.
To the Editor:
The Phoenix Grange, meeting
in regular session on Nov. 28,
wish to protest the manner in
which the law prohibiting the
sale of hides held less than
thirty days has been interpreted
and enforced.
Following a discussion bring

Grange members feel about it's
passage and enforcement.

Not A Bad Idea
To the Editor:
I think most people have some
ideas of a plan that they feel
would make this world a better
place to live in.
I would like to present this
one. Let us make our democra
tic form of government so su
perior to that of any other form
of government that no one will
consider communism or any
other ism when it comes to a
choice of democracy or isms.
The first step, in my opinion,
toward the accomplishment of
this would to be make it desir
able for all people in this Uni
ted States to own a home. To
accomplish this a form of taxa
tion should be adopted in which
the small home would be ex
empt from taxation.
This would enable millions
of transient families, ripe for
any ism, to become once mbre
good democratic citizens.
