Memorial Day
TODAY is Memorial Day and, in accordance with a
custom that has lived through three-quarters of a
century, the graves of American soldiers have been
decorated.
It is a solemn reminder of the lives that were sacri
ficed in the Civil War, th-T Spanish American War
and the World War an expression of gratitude and
a tribute to the courage of heroes of the past
MEMORIAL DAY this year, however, has added
significance. Today another war is sweeping
much of the world, a war that is ruthless and devas
tating beyond human conception. The searing flame
of an appalling "blitzkrieg" has been felt on old bat
tlefields of Europe Ypres, Arras, the Somme.
Memories here are quickened by this sudden,
ghastly struggle, for 130,000 American soldiers were
sacrificed on these same battlefields twenty-three
years ago.
TEN MILLION men gave their lives in that war, 19
million were wounded, another ten million were
disabled, three million were missing. Nine million
children were left orphans, five million women were
left without husbands and ten million women and
old men and little children were forced to flee their
homes!
The memory of those terrible days was an object
lesson that every nation on earth should NEVER have
forgotten how tragic it is that greed and lust, intol
erance and hate should again unloose the Four Horse
men! A ND so, on this Memorial Day, the tragedy of war
is doubly impressed upon us.
We have learned from the bitter lessons of other
nations that neutrality can be maintained only by
armed might; that there is no national security abroad
save where there is force behind it.
But one thing is certain. Whatever the future may
bring, the spirit of the heroes we honor today will
form a shrine to guide the destiny of this nation. So
today, let us reaffirm our solemn resolution that
"these dead shall not have died in vain!' and that our
rights and freedom may ever be protected with the
courage and self-sacrifice THEY displayed. H. G.
He Can Do Nothing Right
I ESS than a year ago, we believe it was in August,
" 1939, Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York
returned from a sojourn abroad, and rushing to the
nearest microphone assured the people of the United
States there would be no war in Europe.
In less than a month, Germany marched into
Poland!
About six months before this pontifical pro
nouncement "Good Old Ham," again over the air,
paid his respects to President Roosevelt and the ad
ministration's 1939 rearmament program, as follows:
"What I Intend to say this evening may not be ap
proved or appreciated by the New Deal war mongers, hys
terical internationalists, war profiteers, supcrpatriots. and
Communists, who are all hell-bent on arming the United
States to the teeth for the purpose of acting as a policeman
for the entire world.
"The contention that this country of ours Is in danger of
foreign attack is sheer political 'bunk.' It aims to deceive
the people into supporting a huge rearmament program in
the guise of national defense, which, in reality, is nothing
but a smoke screen to obscure the depression and economic
failures of the New Deal.
"I feel strongly that In the midst of a depression, with
12.000,000 unemployed, It is not sound policy or logical to
cut down relief for our destitute on the one hand and spend
billions for superarmaments and destructive purposes on
the other. If we have billions to spend, it should be spent
for the benefit and welfare of our own people in promoting
their health and well-being, and to help the one-third of our
population who, according to President Roosevelt, are ill
housed, ill-clothed and ill-fed.
"The American people cannot have their cake and eat
It. too. We cannot spend billions on destructive purposes
and have billions to spend for constructive and useful pur
poses. The people must deckie whether they want to follow
the sound advice of Thomas Jefferson or the pump-priming
schemes of President Roosevelt. They are being led to be
lieve that we are as defenseless as Ethiopia and China,
and about to be invaded. It is all bunk!"
But NOW. what do we hear from trip same suture
as printed in the Congressional Record for May
24th, Congressman Fish (again!) speaking:
"Mr. Chairman, President Roosevelt has been In power
ever since Hitler came into power in Germany. No man
In America has had a better opportunity to observe the
preparedness program in Germany during the last 7 years.
President Roosevelt has had full advantage of the in
formation that came through his military and naval aides at
Berlin, but, nevertheless, knowing that Germany had mod
ernized its army, the President of the United States has
completely failed to take cognizance of these facts and of
this information and has failed to modernize and properly
equip the army of the United States; and 1 say this without
fear of contradiction from anyone.
"The President as Commander in Chief is responsible
for our national defense.
"I believe in adequate national defense, and have at all
times, but I think It is NOT UNFAIR to say that the Presi
dent has failed to modernize our army. This is Just one
more failure along with his failures with agriculture, in
dustry, business, and to revive prosperity in America. His
failure in national defense ran be added right on to all the
rest. It is nothing unusual even after the expenditure of
$7,000. 000.000. What has happened to the people s money?
Some of it apparently has gone down the proverbial rat
hole."
CO there you arc, ladies and gentlemen!
President Roosevelt was a war monger and alarm-
i ist a mere 17 months ago for
paredness that should have been devoted to the
hungry and unemployed.
And now he, and he alone, is responsible for the
fact that this country has no army ready to fight.
So the President is damned if he does and damned
if he doesn't. And Congressman Fish, we regret to
state, is not alone in taking this position, it promises
to become more and more popular in partisan circles
las time, and the war, go
spending millions in pre
on!

RELIEF Of NASAL CONGESTION
Ephedrine or adrenalin, ap
plied to the nasal mucou mem
brane in the form of spray,
drops, oil, un
guent or by
swabbing, are
as alike as Ike
and Mike,
powerful vas
omotor stimu
lants. The vas
omotor narvea
j control the
calibre of the
smallest arter
ies or arter
ioles (not cap
illaries, which
are not blood vessels but mere
spaces between tissues cells).
Stimulation of the vasomotor
nervts causes the arterioles to
contract and blanches or shriv
els the tissues they supply with
blood squeezes the congested,
lntumescent, boggy or over
filled mucous membrane as you
might squeeze out a sponge in
your hand. The immediate relief
this gives, where the nasal pas
sages are all stopped up and
the sufferer Is most uncomfort
able. Is great. But, like the lift
a person gets from any strong
stimulant, the effect is only tem
porary, and the after-effect is
likely to be as bad or worse
than before.
Just as striking as the pri
mary constriction of the minute
vessels in the inflamed and
swollen mucous membrane and
the consequent shrinking, with
opening of the nose and a period
of comfortable breathing and
diminished secretion, is the sec
ondary or after-effect, relaxa
tion, peresis or partial paralysis
of the vasomotors, and a con
sequent return of even, greater
discomfort than there was be
fore. You see, children, each
application of such strong stim
ulant creates a need for more.
Where Inflammation is pres
ent, as there usually is, fre
quent repetition of this vaso
motor constriction interferes
with phagocytosis, that is, the
migration of leucocytes (white
blood corpuscles) or phagocytes
through the tissues where they
normally Ingest and destroy in
vading bacteria. In other words
medicaments having a marked
astringent influence impede nat
ural healing processes.
It is in any case a question
THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH A.LSOP and
ROBERT KINTNEP
Released by the North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Washington, May 30. Many
of the president's most import
ant subordinates believe he has
presented an inadequate national
defense program because, for
the first time in his stormy ca
reer, he has fallen behind the
sentiment of the country. If
proof of this theory is desired,
it may be found in the really
amazing story of the administra
tion tax program suddenly pre
sented to congress two davs ago.
It la the tint maxim of polltlca,
well known to the merest novice,
that taxea are the worst kind of
political poison. BecaitM this la an
election year, the preeMent and moat
of the cottreeslonal leadera origin
ally planned to defer taxing to pay
for Increased national derenae until
the 1941 aeaalon of congress. Bor
row now. tax later waa the hsippy
slogan, which waa born of the aame
aort of thinking that haa caused
the president not to ak now for
vitally needed maximum defense ap
propriations. There are few mora practical pol
itician, than the old Mltalaslppt fox.
Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate
finance committee. Harrleon waa not
converted by tha slogan, however,
alnce h la eerlouely concerned over
the ttate of the national finances,
and believes the votera ahare hta
concern. He went to the equally
practical senate Republican leader.
Charles U McNary of Oregon. He
sugceeted that congress ought to pasa
a national dcfrna tax bill before
adjourning.
The conversation between McNary
and Harrison must have been a re
markable demonstration of the pol
itical art. Harrison's advocacy of a
tax bill waa purely personal. He
went on to add that so tar aa he
knew, the Democrat had no tax
bill to otter, and to ask McNary
whether tha Republlcana would make
an Issue of the matter. McNary re
plied first that tha Republicans had
no ux bill either, and second that
j he doubted they would make cap
ital of the Democratic failure to
present one. But he added that ha
too waa personally convinced new
taxea ottfht to be voted, and pre
dicted that If they were requested
by the prc.,1ent the Rep-.iolicana
,Mi'd go along
Harrison cloned his conversation
Brady - M. D.
for the physician to determine
whether and when any such lo
cal remedy to shrink the swol
len mucous membrane is neces
sary or advisable it may be
most essential in the successful
treatment of sinusitis to reduce
the swelling and maintain drain
age from the sinus. So I think
such agents as adrenalin and
ephedrine should be left to the
hands of the physician, or
should be used by the patient
only under immediate instruc
tion by his physician.
For infants and children with
persistent obstruction and ex
cessive mucous secretion in the
nose, perhaps most troublesome
at night when it drains back
into the throat and gives rise
to irritation or coughing, it is
harmless and usually helpful to
drop one or two drops of a
bland oil solution of vitamin D
in each nostril at bedtime.
Older children or adults with
sinus trouble may use three or
four drops of the same solution
in each nostril twice a day.

ticles of ground or crumbled glass
accidentally taken In or with food
rarely or never cause any trouble.
Good plan when such glass has
been swallowed, as w.ien any for

with McNary with the remark that
he would have to aee the president
and Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. Accordingly, he ask
ed for appointments, without much
hop of finding agreement with bla
views.
Meanwhile, however, an astound
ing thing had happened. Mall be
gan to eome Into tha White House
and to meroben of congreaa express
ing tha willingness of thousanda of
Americans to do anything and pay
anything for effective national de
fenae. The White House letter read
ers rtibbad their tncreduloua eyee:
congressmen turned pale at the shock
or what they at first supposed was
an exhibition of mass Insanity. The
people of America, reacting spon
taneously to the grave national
danger, were positively demanding
more taxes.
Tha whole picture "vaa suddenly
altered by this moving manifestation
of the real quality of the country.
The president changed his mind.
The treasury prepared a simple plan
for a general 10 percent Income In
crease, coupled with additional li
quor, gasoline and other nuisance
taxea. to raise S600.000.000 a year
for five yeara and thus pay off
S3, 000.000 .000 m national defense
borrowing.
The promise that the money would
be ear-marked for debt-paying de
lighted Harrison and auch senate
conservatives as Harry Byrd of Vir
ginia. Tha tough North Carolinian.
Chairman Robert U Ooughton of
the house ways and means commit
tee, and other house leaders, agreed
to go along. The tax program waa
born.
The house and senate presented
a really unprecedented scene on tha
day that the program waa publicly
i disclosed. Commonly the mere men-
tlon of taxea la enough to put long
facea on senators and representatlvea
of all parties. Until the laat moment
opposition had been expected: for
example the senate finance commit
tr waa thought to be evenly di
vided on the tax question. Yet aa
soon aa the aubstance of the con
gresslonal leaders' tax conference at
the White House became generally
known, endorsements of the new pro
gram were to be heard on all aides.
There la still much doubt of the
president's sbimy to spend the
money well, but as yet na one
seems ready to say It ought not to
be raised. It IS now hoped to pasa
the tax bill before the Republican
convention.
All this would sound like a pol-
Itlcal fairy story, if It were not for
one thing. As reactions come In
from the country to the president's
fireside chat and the national de
fense stepe taken so far. It ta grow.
1 Ing increasingly clear that tha best
politics Is to go tha whole hog on
j national defense. And tt la to be
hoped that the president will soon
besin to show his usual political
' acumen In the matter.

K
ING Leopold of Belgium
orders his army to surren-
dpr.
T'HE Germans (whom one
seldom believes) says that
Leopold himself asked for the
armistice and himself accepted
the German demand for uncon
ditional capitulation.
There seems to be little doubt
that he acted entirely on his
own, consulting neither his
comrades in arms nor his min
isters. The resulting shock of
surprise was even more weaken
ing in its effect than the loss
of the Belgian army.
Hitler is reported to be "pro
found; stirred" both by the
soldierly attitude of the Belgian
king and his "political" wisdom
in surrendering in the face of
superior force.
The Germans promptly set
apart a Belgian castle as the
temporary safe residence of the
Belgian king until a permanent
residence can be arranged for
him.
"T'HE Belgian premier, in Paris,
says the king's decision,
made against the unanimous
voice of his ministers, will not
be confirmed by the Belgian
government. "The act of one
man does not commit the entire
nation," he adds.
French military sources term
Leopold's act one of "personal
treason."
Belgian leaders in France
reach a decision to "disown"
Leopold and organize a provis
ional government.
The British, running true to
form, say little.
MOST Interesting of all would
" be the comment of Leo
pold's father, who fought on
and on, in the face of a situa
tion that looked as desperate as
this one does, to ultimate vic
tory. PO one, of course, will deny
the odds that faced Leopold.
But Leonidas and his Spar
tons and Horatitis who stood
at the bridge will look down
from their place among the im
mortals and will say to them
selves that the odds facing Leo
pold were no greater than the
odds facing them.
T'HE Associated Press corres-
pondent in Paris says mor
ale remains unshaken by the
sudden blow. The general
French reaction, he adds, is
"We've been betrayed from
within and betrayed from with
out, but we'll win just the
same."
MEANWHILE Mussolini, read
ing the inside reports of

" When the first worlcl war
broke out. Hoover was living in
London; had for years been asso
ciated with British mining com
panies and, according to one ac
count, had never voted in an
election for president of the
United States. He was more in
timately connected with Eng
land than any other president in
the history of this country. These
things were remembered when
Hoover proposed repeal of the
Johnson act.
McNary led off by opposing
Hoover's plan, challenging some
of the statements of the latter,
and was backed up by Austin,
Martin and the others. Although
both went to Stanford; both
worked their way through that
institution Hoover collecting
laundry: McNary waiting on

"Good Bye Mother"
"Good bye mommie, I go play,
I be a big boy, mommie, some
day,"
A dimpled baby with golden
curls.
Sets forth to discover a brand
new world,
"Don't hurry sonny to be a big
boy.
When you are so sweet, little
and such a Joy."
"Good bye mamma, school
starts today.
Don't you worry while I'm
away."
'No son, I'm proud you're so
big and smart"
A smile on my lips and a tear
in my heart.
You're getting big Sonny and I
mustn't care.
But I'll miss the boy with the
golden hair.
"Well, so long mom, it's a Job
and man's pay,
Bet I'll be rich, moin, some,
day "
"Why yes son, I'd expect that
of you."
(Dear Lord, let some of his
dreams come true.
Help him keep courage, what-
e'er life may be
It's dearer than gold, help him
to see).
"Mother, I'm starting out on a
new life,
I know I'll be happy with my
own little wife."
"I know you can son. my bless
ing I give,
May you both be happy so long
as you live.
And some day I hope through
the years good or bad,
You will think of your son, and
the thoughts make you
glad."

To My Son's Son
"Hi there. . . . little fellow.
With your little puggie nose,
Little mouth so soft and cunnin".
Like the petals of a rose".
"Eig blue eyes so full of wonder,
I expect, to you my dear,
The world is Just a blue lined
basket.
With your 'mommie' always
near".
Goldie V. Johnson,
Trail, Oregon.
