Huf inwarA nnlitirS- Here we have Miss Dorothy Thompson, for ex ample, distinguished woman columnist, who has been a pretty consistent critic of the Roosevelt administra tion and the New Deal, making the following startling suggestion from war-torn Paris: The greatest thing, it seems to me. that the Republican party could do now for the nation it has served so often and so magnificently would be to announce, and as quickly as possible, that if the President will accept a third term it will offer no candidate in opposition to him, but will offer, instead, only a Vice-Presidential candidate. And If it wants to break the tradition once again, In the interest of the nation, it might look elsewhere than in the traditional places for a Vice-Presidential candidate, and nominate, for Vice-President, Wendell Willkie, one of our ablest citizens, a man who thoroughly represents the most enlightened and modern wing of Republican opinion, who is 100 per cent with Secretary Hull on foreign policy and who, were a change at this tune desirable at all, is certainly Presidential timber. The people would then have a chance to vote for Roose velt, modified by Willkie or some other Republican; or Roosevelt, supported by whomever the Democrats might nominate. yHE election of Roosevelt, plus a Republican ticket, would m presume a reorganization of the Cabinet to include Re publicans in other words, a government of national con centration. And I personally believe that ticket would win. It would reassure those who fear the President's impetu osity which has not been manifest since the outbreak of the war. And it would mean that America continues to be politically mobile and in action, during every minute. It is also completely constitutional. The party system was invented long after the Constitution was In operation, and the conventions are purely a politicians' instrument, having nothing whatsoever to do with the fundamental structure of our democracy. It would be large-minded of the Republican party to do this, but the Republicans may well remember that they governed America best and longest when they were most large-minded. IMAGINE what a bomb-shell that must have been Awhen it exploded via the New York Herald-Tribune, in the ranks of conservative Republicanism ! Hut with the Germans channel ports, that is what temperamental and impressionable an artist as Miss Thompson. If circumstances alter falling about one's ears alters one's political views. . .

But to those who have column carefully it IS rather surprising to find her favoring four more years man she believes has made Diunciers in the last eight! Willkie and AMONG the casualties of Otis. nirri-Tir Klif manfol VA fivyvbjr UUV J Unlabel pi VHCCC3ti3. And we predict that when the atmosphere of Paris clears, if it ever does. Miss Thompson will be among the first to agree that when she launched the Roosevelt-Willkie ticket she was suffering from shell-shock. Not that partisan politics should not be adjourned, in such a national crisis as now impends. But with such adjournment, we are quite sure, the extremely intelligent and penetrating mind of America's lead ing woman columnist (pardon US, Mrs. Roosevelt!) would have at least reversed that ticket, had the shock of that Hitler offensive not been so upsetiing. TOR to be at all consistent with her record, not Roosevelt and Willkie, but Willkie and Roosevelt, should have been her proposal, in the interest of na tional harmony, and a non-partisan, united and ef fective front against the dangers that threaten to beset us. In other words, if we understand Miss Thompson's article, and we think we do, what she really wants is a continuation of President Roosevelt's foreign policy, but a discontinuation of his domestic policy, or at least a radical reformation and strengthening of it. Wouldn't it be much better then to put Mr. Willkie in as President and Mr. Roosevelt in as Vice-President, in charge of foreign affairs, America's For eign Minister in fact? That, it seems to us, would be far more consistent with Miss Thompson's views of the President and his policies so frequently expressed. . MOREOVER, is there any likelihood the present ' war will last four years? It doesn't look that way at present F-ither Germany is going to win this sum mer, or she is going to shoot her bolt, in which case the war thereafter will be in the nature of an allied mopping-up. In either case, the chief issue in this country for the larger portion of the next administration will not be the war in Europe, but reconstruction and rehabili tation here at home. And certainly Miss Thompson, in view of her writ ten record, would not wi.-h F. D. R. and his New Deal zealots, to control the government during that pe riod. shp would, we think, vastly prefer Mr. Willkie or almost ANYONE else ! rirtt Offense I Berry Pi:ke?s Needed Milwaukee, May 21.

MS El Csrala. Bererlj Hills, Calif. BO BRAN IS MOT Tt Is sad but true that the day when a doctor could make a thing so by pronouncing It so is past, altho some of the big shots tn the profession still try to work the old racket on the public. For example, the propaganda of the American Medical Associ ation only three or four years ago branding injection treat ment of hernia a "dangerous procedure," wretched stuff ob viously com posed by a fa cile writer who had no idea what the modern treat ment of her nia is. The course of events in the past two or three years has compelled the omniscient oracle of the A. M. A. to revise that attitude and now the "dangerous pro cedure" is perforce recognized as a proper and efficient meth od of treating hernia in suitable cases. The great minds of the medical politicians who make most of the -noise ought to re alize by now that you can't make a thing so by pronounc ing it so. This is 1940, not 1840. Since the use of wheat bran as a laxative food came Into popularity the old timers who still yearn to pronounce the ver dict of medical science upon everything issued various warn Ings to the public about the hypothetical dangers of eating bran. I could name names, have done so, but It scarcely seems necessary now. One of the hy pothetical dangers some of the eminent specialists ventured to ascribe to the practice of eat ing bran Is obstruction of the intestine by bran impaction. In a review of the entire medical literature of the world Drs. George Kopstein and Bernard Fantus were able to find four actual cases of the kind. In three of these cases the impac tion was preceded by patholo gical conditions which were pri marily responsible for the ob struction, such as stricture, ad hesions from a former surgical operation, and a perforating amebic ulcer. In one case the history failed to make clear the nature of the primary trouble, altho the patient had had two previous operations. These In vestigators concluded that the eating of bran is not likely to cause intestinal obstruction. Well, who ever seriously imagined it would? Only the old timers who still THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT K1NTNEP Released by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. Washington. May 21. As this is written, the outcome of the great and terrible battle in the fields of Flanders and the plains of northern France is still un certain. It is not yet clear whether human decency can still defend itself, or whether the source lands of our culture are to be conquered by men mixed, as his tutor said of the Kmperor Tiberius, "of mud and blood." W hat is already too cruelly clear, however, is the battle's lesson.

DANGEROUS like to pronounce thing thus and so. If you like bran, or the ef fects of it, eat it whenever you wish. Some of tne old timers con ceived an arbitrary notion that bran is "indigestible". The Home Economics bureau of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture found that normal individ uals digest nearly hnlf of the protein and more than half of the carbohydrate in bran. Wheat bran contains protein of high biologic value to sup plement the inferior protein in the white kernel of the wheat, according to Hindhede, who found that bran is digested as thoroly by man as by animals. Bran is second only to pure wheat germ as a rich natural food source of the vitamin B. complex which our modern re fined diet nearly always lacks.

Communications Can't Beat Germany In Two Months. To the Editor: So now Robert W. Ruhl has joined the pessimist who would in row in tne sponge ior tne Al lies. Not that he says plainly the Allies are licked. But he might as well. In his May 19th edi torial the Mail Tribune skipper says. " this ghastly 'Blitz krieg' against England and France la going to be decided within a couple of months, perhaps within a couple of weeks, or days! Either the Al lies are going to be crushed, or Hitler is." A close study of the situa tion should show plainly that if anyone Is going to be crushed within two months, it will be the Allies. The most optimistic of Allied supporters could scarcely expect the Allies to crush Germany in two months. Well, Mr. Ruhl may be right. The present writer, along with millions of other Americans, has been sadly disillusioned In the past month or so regarding Allied supremacy, TIME and other news magazines had told us France had the greatest army in the world, that a defending orce, strongly entrenched as were France and Belgium. en Joyed a great advantage over an attacker. Without belittling the French army, one is now forced to conclude that Germany has found the key to so-called Im pregnable positions air power. Even the bitterest anti-Nazi must admit that as a fighting machine Germany is there with the goods. But Mr. Ruhl and fellow pessimists ignore a pos sible silver lining in the cloud of gloom. Germany has to win right away, but not so the Al lies. A fairly successful Allied stand soon, at whatever cost, should spell eventual Allied vic tory. The reason? Shortase of German supplies. Those who so readily envision Allied surrender overlook not only the resistance-power of three to four million well trained troips with extensive supplies, but the stuff of which England and France are made. Even the fall of Paris or the de struction of London would like ly not cause the Allies to sur-l render. The conduct of France ' back In 1871 when Prussia had smashed France's main army in the north supports this view. The soul of France rose then in its workmen, its peasants, to a level of heroic, tho futile, resis tance that amazed even the Ger mans. Hopelessly beaten, the French nevertheless armed themselves with pitchforks, with I clubs, and fought until the bit ter end. England and France are not Norway and Denmark. Let us I !:eep our faith in the allies. We 1 may need it before this Is over. Ahnus Pruitt. I Medford. May 19.1 Ed. Note Mr. Pruitt entirely j missed the point of the editor- J ial, which wasn't as to which side will win. but whichever j side wins, American aid. as rep-1 resenieo oy ine suinunsintuun a defense measure, will probably not be a factor in it. "It Could Happen Here' To the Editor: While the majority on this side of the Atlantic favor the allies. I wonder if the Ameri can people realize the extreme gravity of a German victory and what it could well mean to the United States. It will be remembered that the terms of peace in 1918 re quired that the entire German navy as well as all the heavy guns and airplanes of the army should be turned over to the allies. It cannot be hoped that Hitler will be any more lenient with England and France, tf they have to sue for peace. It is true that the Germans suc ceeded in scuttling their fleet on delivery at Sea pa Flow, but this time that trick will be blocked. With the English and French fleet in German hands. Hitler would have at h!. command sea power twice that of the United States, and with the Japs only too happy to elimin ate us at a sea power tn the Pacific, we would face sea pow er three times as great as we could muster in the next three or four years, even with the immense building program now under way. The 'hope for the best' people will say. no doubt, that Ger many will be exhausted financ ially after the war is over and could not afford another right away, but Hitler has always been able to raise money by fining the wealthy cities he has conquered, and there is always the war indemnity as one of the terms of peace. The power-mad rulers of Ger many would realize the oppor tunity to attack us and seize the richest prize In the world, and while it is doubtful if the United States could be con quered by an overseas power, our sea port citiei could be destroyed and Immense loss to life and property could be In flicted once our fleet was over powered. Think this over, and wire your representatives in con gress, that you want everything done and dona immediately to forestall a German victory. It may be too late next month. We don't want to get tn the war. but neither do we wantj the war brought over here. H. R. Prentice Deplores Judiciary Campaigning To the Editor: Now that the primaries are over I desire to call attention to the fact that back In Iowa, since the turn of the century, it has been customary for the Bar Associations to call a pre election meeting and select from their number the most fitting available member for the judiciary. I can recall no Instance where such selection resulted in an election contest. Since coming to the west and north west I have had exceptional op portunity to observe the opera tion of both state and federal tribunals, with the result. In my opinion, that the comparis on makes the Iowa judiciary, in the matter of ability, ef ficiency and freedom from poli tical bias, or other undue in fluences, stand out second only to the federal judiciary, where the official tenure Is life time appointment. Certainly such selection obvi ates the necessity of such In dignities as personal recrimina tion, door thumping, promiscu ous handshaking, and last but not least that fraction of scan dal Involved in self-praise. In view of the turmoil in the recent judicial elections in Southern Oregon, with especial reference to Klamath County, I suggest that an investigation of the Iowa procedure and its adoption would tend to raise that important tribunal to the level designed by its founders and clothe it with that respect and dignity that Inspires con fidence in the justice of its findings. Tred Kelly. 911 Queen Anne Ave. Kara Wa Lost Our National Character? To the Editor: It would seem so. At least there is a striking contrast be tween the America of today and that of 1776 or 1861 or 1898 or 1917. Through all of that time America stood ready to help our friends in need, to protect the weak, to fight for our prin ciples. But two decades of alien propaganda has radically changed all of that. No neigh bor nation, however friendly. need now expect us to save his home from the flames or his family from the tomahawk, or worse. We now say, "It is no af fair of ours, till the savages at tack our home. In this alien school we are trained to be more horrified when a thousand civilians die by European bombs than when 20.- ooo civilians die on our streets by drunken driving. Mechanized war wrecking a thousand homes gets a "scarehead" in the daily, but a mechanized liquor traffic wrecking 20,000 homes in the U. S. A. isn't news worth print ing. The only death and suffer ing that excites us. Is WAR death, WAR suffering. And when this political pacifism has accom plished its mission, the spirit that won at the Marne and Ar gonne will be dead, and the America of history will have lost its character. Now, if, this summer. France is overrun, and England sues for peace, and as part of the price demanded Canada. Ber muda and the Bahamas are reded to Germany: will that excite Uncle Sam? Just what would he do about it? Within 12 months Hitler could put a vast mechan ized army into his Canada and find not one fort from Maine to Seattle. Could we stop "blitz kriegs" better than the allies' Just where? At Seattle? Port land' Medford? This vallev would probably fight like Den mark. By that time we oueht in understand the meaning and1 purpose of th se two decades of alien pacifist propaganda that has kept the strong democracies irom protecting the weak onesi LOANS to buy, build," improve HOMES JACKSON COUNTY FEDERAL SAVINGS k LOAJf ASSOCIATION 12 EAST MAIH and from helping each other, so that an aggressor could take them one at a time. Well, America's day to face It will probably come, maybe soon, and not a nation on earth will help us. We have taught them how to mind their own business, and "keep out of other people's wars." Of course. 50.000 war planes would help some, if wa had them. But the "FUth Col umn" with its propaganda of complete selfishness hat accom plished much. EDWIN DEACON. May 20, 1940. Talent, Ora.
