Are We Too Soft?
A FEW days ago we wrote an editorial entitled,
i wo o-pttino- anttl". lfeiilini? with the matter
4 11V r SjVUHUfj ewv w C7
of enlistments in the National Guard.
Wo finrl enmo of nnr readers didn't like it Others
did. This is a common experience in this business, so
calls for no particular comment.
But the nature of some of the criticisms, only one
being signed and that not for publication, IS import
ant, and does deserve comment
IN fact in view of the announcement in yesterday's
Oregonian, that Dorothy Thompson has already
declared war on Nazi Germany, we feel certain the
spirit the above query and current answers to it repre
sent, are destined to become more and more import
ant, as time goes on.
For, if this country is going to get into the war
F.VF.NITTIALLY. and we erant we
are getting nearer and nearer to it every day, and
if, as Arthur Lippmann nas maintained, we nave
during the past quarter century of peace, become soft
n, o r,ni;nn thon this ia a fart, that is coiner to be of
aO C tJU.IUi'i .w.. v o
SUPREME importance when the call to arms, finally
sounds.
For if we DO get into this war, there will have to
be some fighting done, and needless to say, a nation
gone soft isn't either inclined to fight, or if compelled
to do so, isn't very effective at it
SO we repeat, these criticisms of the editorial in
question, we believe, ARE important, for there is
no reason to believe the people of this community feel
any differently than the people of other communities
in this country.
In fact there being practically no foreign element
here, it seems reasonable to assume, that the disposi
tion to defend and uphold (if need be, by force)
American institutions and the American "way of
life",' is stronger in Southern Oregon than in most
parts of the state, or country.
Yet if these anonymous criticisms are at all typical
of this community as a whole, there are many at least
of our fellow countrymen hereabouts, who not only
reeard the theme of that editorial as "war monger-
ing, but see, or tnmK iney see, a i. r. iuuik
conspiracy to get this country invoivea in biiuuici
European holocaust, and if this is done, "the real
simon-pure, 100 Americans will and should
refuse to fight!"
"Why send our boys overseas to ba slaughtered to help
the International bankers, and put a prop under the
decadent nobility of England and Francel
Yes, we think a reaction of that sort IS important
For the editorial in question did not advocate
America entering the war (in fact this paper opposes
it, on the ground we can MORE effectively aid the
cause of democracy, by rushing materials, rather than
men, to Europe) but did advocate as a part of a pre
paredness program, the bringing of our National
Guard up to normal strength, and deplored the fact
that in spite of two weeks of appeal and publicity,
there had been but one to volunteer for such service.
NOW that seems to this department a perfectly
reasonable and even orthodox position to
take in view of the world situation at the present mo
ment Far from wanting war, we are convinced the
stronger we become,- the more likelihood there will
be of keeping out of it
BUT we certainly won't be able to keep out of it, if
not only Germany but Japan become convinced
that this country is so strongly pacifist, the popular
fnl,'nrr oo-oinot war an tviripsnrparl and deeD. that
'"""S ... r; - .' ...
nothing but actual armed invasion from abroad will
ever get us into it (If that were trie case now long
would it be before the Fifth column had Mexico, and
Nippon the Dutch Last Indies!)
And again if these reactions above mentioned are
at all representative of American opinion, isn't it
reasonable to fear that such a view will become estab
lished in foreign lands, and as far as that goes, be
justified?
SO we believe this is a matter of considerable im
portance, considering the state of the world at
the present writing. And a serious effort should be
made to find out what public opinion really is, and
particularly the opinion of youth, regarding war.
For needless to say if there should be war, it would be
youth, not bald-headed editors, or venerable members
of the D. A. R. who would have to do the fighting
and the dying in it. (And incidentally let us grant

called upon to comment, upon the fact that 1500
undergraduates of ale, signed a petition urging tnis
country to keep out of the European war, and a sim
ilar tmtitimi at Harvard, less trenerouslv siirned. which
expressed distaste for serving in the armed forces of
this country, expressed hiniselt as oeiow.
He started out by commenting on the first worid
war literature, decrying war, and upon which our
present American youth were brought up:
they ara nevertheless words that have born bitter and
dangerous fruits.
"Their effect has been to immunize the young genera
tion against any attempt in its own country by its own
leaders to foment a war by waving moral flags and
rhetorical phrases.
But they have left it defenseless before an aggressor
ready to force war upon us. Above all. they have left it
defenseless against an aggressor whose cynicism, bru
tality, and whose stated intention to enslave present the
issue of the future in moral terms.
'The post-war writers who educated a generation to
suspect the tags, the slogans, and 'even the words,' left
that generation defenseless before an aggressor whose
whole strength consists in destroying respect of law,
respect of morality, respect for the Word.
"I am not undertaking to Judge these writers. I hava
no right to Judge them, and if I did my hands would be
tied because I felt as they did and wrote, so far as I waa
able, as they were writing. What I do undertake to main
tain is that what they wrote, however noble it may have
been as literature, however true as a summary of experi
ence, was disastrous as education for a generation which
would be obliged to face the threat of fascism in its adult .

THE REFRIGERATION OF BACON
George Washington became
president at the age of 97 years
and died in 1799 at the age of
67 years. That
was less than
140 years ago,
yet we are
without any
knowledge of
the cause of
Washing t o n's
death. Was it
d 1 p h t h e rla,
pne u m o n 1 a,
quinsey, Lud
wig's angina?
Or waa the
man bled to
death? It does not seem that a
man of Washington's good liv
ing habits and strong consti
tution would be greatly injured
by the loss of a half pint of
blood 16 hours before death
and another half pint perhaps
eight hours before death, inan
acute illness. Nobody knows
what caused George Washing
ton's death.
Sir rrancis Bacon died 314
years ago, ot reirigeration. i
would not go so far as to say
that Bacon froie to death, but
I have it on the authority of
that distinguished clinician.
Frederic J. Haskin, that Bacon
died as the "result of a cold
caught during an experimenta
tion on the refrigeration of
fresh meat."
That reminds me two days
before Washington's final ill
ness he came back from a ride
to his farms with his collar
still wet and snow hanging
upon his hair, and sat right
down to dinner without chang
ing td dry clothes. Will some
one kindly find out whether
this circumstance had anything
to do with Washington's Ill
ness? If a trick doctor so far for
got himself as to file with his
health department a report of
Illness as a "cold" or sign a
death certificate like that, he
would find himself called upon
for an explanation. No one ser
iously recognizes cold as
rational explanation of illness
or death. The term is Just a
meaningless, we can't say harm
less one for filling in the blank
or silent space when you don't
know what really Is the matter.
In my files are enough ab
stracts, clippings and reprints
from current medical literature
(not lay publications) to fill a
set of books that would make
Dr. Elliott's lot look miniature.
Yet in all this Imposing chatter
it Is hard to find an observation
or a fact that stands from
season to season. Although It is
filed under the heading of
"Cold," In order to keep the
filing system In order, some
day when my secretary isn't
here I'm going to transfer it to
another and more fitting head
ing, viz., Malarkey. (Medical).
Nearly every day some wise
acre asks peevishly why in the
name of well, let us say bet
ter health do I insist in calling
the common cold by a name
nobody understands or uses, and
Just what difference it makes
anyway whether a person calls
it cold or cri? Here there Is
room to mention only three rea
sons: (1) because cold has noth
ing to do with the Illness or
Indisposition; (2) because cri
(kree) means merely Common
ResDiratory Infection, is non
committal as to the precise na
ture of the infection, but still
conveys fair warning to all con
cerned, and so has some pro
phylactic value In Itself.

Th. tax story la by no mean, at
an and. either. In a remarkable
speech. Mm. daya ago, senator Byrd
proposed a program of national de
fense expenditures far higher than
the president haa asked, accompanied
by etll! more daring taxes and a
10 per cent out In government
expenditure, except those for de
fense. Shortly thereafter, without
mentioning the Virginian, th. White
House Indicated that all government
expenditures ought to be cut 10
per cent wherever possible.
Mow Byrd Is going to take th.
president at hla word, offering an
amendment to the tax bill making
the 10 per cent cut mandatory In
all Items except defense and th.
interest on the public debt. Th.
temper ot the timer la such, further
more, that little aa th. administra
tion may like th. Byrd amendment,
It will be extremely bard to resist.
Then too treasury and federal
reserve officials and new dealers close
to th. White House are beginning to
murmur a little about th. new tax
plana. In the next session they had
alwaya expected to Introduce an
excess profits tax. aimed at th. large
profit, from rearmament. There was
considerable pressure oa Harrison
and Doughton to include excess
profit, taxes In the program now
before congress, but they refused on
the ground that there was no time
to write a good bill of such complex
character.
It la quit possible, however, that
th. president will suddenly demand
an .xcess profits tax: taking a fling
at war profiteer!, before the summer
adjournment. And if b. restrains
his natural . Impulse now but la
reelected, he wilt certainly follow
th. original scheme to ask for an
excess profits tax next January.

Even before Pat Harrison got to

taxes especially aimed at the fruitful
field of $10000 to SSO.OOO Incomes.

THERE are Interesting slants
In the new. todar (Friday).
The French claim to have des
troyed 400 of the 2000 tanks
tha Germans are said to have
thrown Into the big battle now
raging.
Their tank-trapping tecnnique
(as hazily described in the cen
sored dispatches) is intriguing
The terra "swinging gate" is ap
plied to it today In the dis
patches. Apparently the tanks
are allowed to pass tnrougn me
front lines with little resistance
and are then hammered from
ambush with anti-tank guns
machine guns and 79a firing
point-blank hit "with every
thing but the kitchen sink," as
we Americana say.
NOTHER development shows
" up in the news for the first
time today.
The tops of the German tanks
(covered with lid somewhat
like the manhole of a sewer, are
their weakest spots, so the al
lies hastily bolted fair-sized can
non to the bottoms of their
planes and with these impro
vised flying batteries they are
pounding the nazi tanks from
above.
1
ANOTHER hint that may be
merely wishful thinking.
Allied observers report that
the German dive bombers (the
dreaded Stukas that worked
such havoc at the start of the
big western front push) appear
to be less numerous and less
daring than at the beginning.
These observers comment that
this involves no apparent break
ing of the German morale but
dive bombing is such a strain
on the pilots that human endur
ance can stand up under it only
so long.
There are notes here and
there to the effect that German
infantry is beginning to move
into the battle lines in more or
less the old manner of warfare,
with less dependence on mech
anized units.
NOTE also that in rearranging
him linaa fni. Ihn final and
desperate defense of Paris Gen
eral Weygand abandoned entire
ly the idea of relatively thin,
strongly fortified lines of de
fense, such as the Maginot, and
introduced the idea of "deep
lines," which you have seen
commented on so much in the
past two days.
The Germans broke through
the former thin lines too easily
and once behind them worked
havoc with their swiftly moving
mechanized units. The purpose
of the deep lines Is to pocket the
tanks and other machines and
destroy them before they can
get clear through.
