Out of the welter of war newi
yesterday there came one Item
of cheer, and one of advice, that
was neither hysterical or poli
tical. A French general was re
ported captured. This no doubt
was humiliating to tne general,
but nevertheless cheering. It in
dicates all hands are battling. In
the technique of war a general
is not supposed to wander close
rnous up front to be caught
or shot. The advice worthy of
deep consideration, was written
by DeWltt MacKenzle, a com
mentator, who wrote: .
"I can only add that even If
the nazi claims are true, it does
not mean that the allies are out
of commission.
This is a swell time for us
to keep our shirts on and not
get panicky."

America's rearming policy and

for the same number of the lat

WHY not gather a few rose buds while one may?
The war news today is more encouraging. The
French have recaptured Abbeville and Arras, while
their new Commander issues an order to pinch off the
Boche salient along the Somme.
The present Blitzkrieg, has had a way of swinging
back and forth, bad news one day, not so bad the
next, due largely to the Germans taking a breathing
spell, after a telling smash. So tomorrow the pendu
lum may swing in the other direction.
On the other hand it may not. For when all is said
and done, the situation for France and England is not
much more desperate than it was just before the first
battle of the Maine, 26 years ago.
And sooner or later that counter attack is going
to come. And this much is certain, when it DOES
come, there will be no half-way measures about it,
Weygand does not fight that way. Hitler may survive,
but we venture to say he will never forget that battle
for the channel ports. And the recapture of Abbeville
and Arras may be the start

rounded, some 800 thousand 6trong, along the coast
But how about the Germans being surrounded
also, that German salient to the channel being cut
off by the British, Belgians and French! This much is
certain, the Germans have enemy forces on both sides
of them. Why can't a pincer be made of this, with
what might be termed reverse English?
There is probably some catch here.
But anyway things look much better at the present
writing. The stock market is recovering, and after so
much bad news for so long, we think it only sensible
to make a note of the good news coming in on the
morning of May 22nd.
Nothing Decisive as Yet
THE best evidence to support the above comes from
the German command in Belgium, in an interview
with the A. P. correspondent, Louis Lochner.
Said General von Ruthenau, veteran of the first
World War:
"Nothing decisive has happened as yet. The big test Is
yet to come. I feel confident of the outcome, but after my
experience in 1914 when we celebrated victory after vic
tory, only to be vanquished in the end, I am not to be caught
in any premature predictions. The French, British and Bel
gian armies are still intact. Until they are destroyed, there
is nothing to celebrate, there is nothing to do but fight."
True, there is no confession of weakness there,
and plenty of self-confidence. But to those who have
interpreted the recent German advance as little bet
ter than a funeral march for the allies, should find
considerable encouragement in it.
When in view of recent triumphs, the chief of staff
on the Germans' right flank, admits nothing decisive
has happened as yet, one can certainly accept that
verdict as a fact!
War Hysteria
A CORRESPONDENT who doesn't sign his or her
name deplores the hysteria that is sweeping
this country into another war in Europe.
Well, no doubt there is hysteria, and those who,
like our correspondent, can keep perfectly cool and
collected in the face of what is happening in Europe,
are to be congratulated.
On the other hand isn t this true?
Doesn't the present fate of Poland, Norway and
Belgium demonstrate that had there been a little
more "hysteria" in Europe before Hitler struck, in
stead of after, the situation today would not be so
desperate.
In other words, isn't it
matter of preparing to resist
enough.
We may be going to extremes. Probably are. But
with the world in its present
one KNOW.
And what sane person would advise any country
to take a chance? Far better, with Europe in flames,
to get together a fire department TWICE as strong as
we need, than one that proved when the flames came,
it wasn't STRONG ENOUGH!
Minority Govt, in Oregon
T'HE dangers of minority government are pretty
clearly revealed by the recent primary election,
particularly in Multnomah County, which holds the
balance of political power in this state.
Take the Democratic race for delegates to the na
tional convention, for example.
There is a radical and minority organization in
this state, known as the Commonwealth Federation,
made up largely of extreme left-wingers, theorists
and academic pinks. The worst enemy of the Demo
cratic party in this state wouldn't accuse it of being
representative of the majority of that party. Yet. as
pointed out in this paper's news columns the other
day, five out of the ten candidates on the ballot, en
dorsed by the members of this group were elected !
. . .
IN a clear cut issue between the Democratic party
and this radical Federation, the former would win
overwhelmingly. But there was no such issue drawn.
As a result the Federation, by uniting behind their
own candidates, while the opposition was split among
i ALL the candidates, won
'delegation.

THE POISON AND

that the doctor prohihlts smok

that makes no difference with
the treatment. The question is.

abusing them? The same answer
must be made to a similar ques
tion in the case of acute or
chronic poisoning by alcohol,
arsenic, lead, carbon monoxide.
Unfortunately the complete eli
mination or excretion from the
body, of any such poison, does
not mean that no lasting or even
permanent harm or injury has
been done by the poison in the
short time it has been in the
system.
Therefore the smoker who
makes a hog of himself or her
self and develops serious
nerve, throat, stomach, heart or
eye trouble need not hope to
see the trouble clear up a week
after he or she stops using to
bacco. Rather it will be a for
tunate outcome if Die trouble
disappears in the course of four
or five months of total absti
nence plus proper medical treat
ment. Serious manifestations of
chronic tobacco poisoning occur
almost invariably in persons who
make hogs of themselves, by ex
cessive and unreasonable indul
gence. For example, smoking
before a meal or in the course
of a meal; smoking while at

22. ThCi

is not why they were so larpe.
In view of the public apathy,
the congressional partisan5hip
and the peculiar presidential
budgetary system which have

$1,182,000,000 it an extremely
small sum to have to spend on

Communications
Maittr of Pronunciation
To the Editor:
A local teacher of Spanish
French (who is NOT giving les
sons at present) wishes to state
to your readers that the pronun
ciation of "War News Names"
on page 9 May 20th. so little
approximates the English ton
gue that It had better not be at
tempted without a proper
course.
Regarding the accent of the
French syllables will say that
it Is quite the opposite of the
English rhythm. In the greater
number of words in English
fhere is a syllable upon which
stress is laid, and the rest is
sometimes scarcely audible. In
the word "madam," for example
the syllable "mad" is nearly
all that is heard. In the word
"disgusting" it Is "gust" that
is emphasized.
This docs not take place In
French, where every syllable is
equally accentuated.
Besides, in order to give em
phasis in English, stress is laid
upon certain syllables. For in
stance. In the sentence "She is
charming," "elle est charmante,"
we emphasize "char." In French
it would produce a most dis
agreeable jerk. Tonic accent ex
ists, indeed, in French, but is
not so sensible nor so frequent
in English. Besides, it Is never
placed as in this language, at
the commencement of the word,
but always at the end.
In English the sounds are
short, irregular, and abrupt,
while in French they are regu
lar, smooth and flowing.

To the Editor:
The conditions in the world!
today are so desperate and crazy
that even the mountains should

must come to their senses, or
destruction will surely follow.
There is no question but what
the majority of mankind have
common-sense ai.d deplore pres
ent conditions, would prefer
peace and order, respect for hu
man rights, that goes for every
nation, even the Germans. The
curse of the present day is neu
trality. The good people are all
trying to be neutral, and let the
criminal crazy run wild to de
struction. It is time now when the ra
tional moral people assume re
sponsibility and put an end to
this, the greatest curse of hu
manity forever. The present day
dictators are simply robbers, and
murderers, running wild with
no restraint.
There is only one language
such characters understand, that
is FORCE. Society has provided
for restraining such characters
in city, county, state and nation.
Why not internationally? They
are no different morally from
our Schultz. Pendergast, Capone.
or Dillinger. Why should they
not be handled the same? The

No matter what you call It,
