A Good "D. A." But -
AS a presidential candidate Mr. Thomas Dewey is a
good prosecuting attorney.
He has made more speeches, to date, than any
other candidate, and all have been good from the
standpoint of forensic attack aggressive, uncompro
mising, sarcastic, disturbing, hostile.
When the New York "D. A." concludes, one can
fairly see the deputies from the office congratulate
their "chief" on an excellent job of taking the hide off
F.D.R. and the New Deal and leaving neither with a
rag nor a leg to stand on.
DUT when it comes to other qualities, Mr. Dewey is
not so satisfying. His foreign policy is one ex
ample. Only a few weeks ago the New York "D. A." de
clared the war in Europe was none of our business,
but the present administration was doing everything
in its power to drag this country into it by circulating
war scares to hide the failures of the New Deal,
etc., etc.
Now Mr. Dewey has changed his tune entirely.
The war in Europe IS some of our business, and
because President Roosevelt played politics instead
of being concerned with it, the United States is totally
unprepared to meet it.
IT is barely possible the change in public opinion re
1 garding the war in Europe, had SOMETHING to
do with Mr. Dewey's flip-flop !
In many other directions, the Republican party's
leading candidate shows
everything and anything that he thinks, at the mo
ment, may bring in some votes.
Speaking to Eastern industrialists, for example,
he emphasized the importance of increasing trade
with foreign nations. But speaking to farmers of the
Middlewest, he was for a higher tariff wall to pro
tect agricultural products.
Just how this country could increase its manufac
tured exports on one hand, and reduce its imports by
a higher tariff wall on the other the New York Dis
trict Attorney did not make clear.
"THERE is no doubt Mr. Dewey has at this time far
" more delegates pledged to him than any of his
rival candidates. And when it comes to a party con
vention, delegates are what count
But, unless this department is greatly mistaken,
it is going to become more and more apparent, be
tween now and the 24th inst., that Brother Dewey is
better qualified to be the next U. S. Attorney General
than President of the United States, and when it
comes to the final showdown at Philadelphia, real
presidential qualifications,
Fifth Column Nonsense
IN the present situation there are two extremely im
portant things to bear in mind.
First, the dangers of complacency in face of the
threat of totalitarian domination of the world.
Second, the dangers of
cause of this threat.
IN other words it seems to this paper that never be
fore, perhaps, in the history of this country has there
been greater need on the part of all good citizens to
avoid extremes and seek the middle-road of self-restraint
and sanity than at the present time.
THE present tragic fate of England and France
1 demonstrates the danger of the first extreme,
failure to prepare for a danger that only a few real
istic and far-sighted statesmen were able to perceive,
and complacently disregarding their warnings as
alarmist and chauvinistic.
The tendency to see a Fifth Columnist in every
bush and a Red Dynamiter under every bed demon
strates the danger of the SECOND.
We don't know which is the more dangerous at
the present time, but judging by local reports still
coming into this office, we suspect the latter.
THE situation, in fact, would be ludicrous if it
weren't potentially so dangerous. The only psy
chology comparable to it. as far as our experience
goes, dates back to the Ku Klux Klan scare, when
the Pope was allegedly sending fat checks to the local
Papist press, and arms and ammunition were stored
in a certain brick building on a hill! That also was a
by-product of war psychology.
There was just as much foundation for that idiotic
hullabaloo, however, as the present one, in other
words none whatever!
AS before stated in this column there are certainly
enough REAL dangers in the world today with
out MANUFACTURING any. Germany still march
ing on Paris is a REAL danger, for there is no rea
sonable doubt that with Europe at his feet, South
America will be Hitler's next goal.
And Japan is another real danger, for there is
unquestionably an understanding between Berlin and
Tokio, and domination of the former in Western
Europe will mean domination or attempted domina
tionby Japan in the Far East.
Here are two genuine perils, one on one side of us,
one on the other. It would be nothing short of crim
inal folly not to prepare in every possible way for
both, and in the meantime do everything possible to
prevent that collapse of free democracy in Europe,
which would render the dangers of both IM

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN
On thing that becomes more
and more obvious as the spirit
of medical ethics recoils before
t h machina
tions of the
politicians who
have gained
control of the
A.M.A. Is the
exploitation of J
medical socie
ties and med
ic a 1 journals
by commercial
interests. This
racket has at
tained such de
velopment i n
recent years that one can no
longer rely on the reports made
through the medical society
meetings or the current medical
Journals. It is necessary to sift
everything carefully in order to
determine how much self-exploitation
on the part of the
doctor announcing the discovery
has to do with it and how much
the commercial aspect of the in
troduction of the treatment may
be concerned.
Sometimes one can get a mod
icum of uncensored, unbiased
Information directly or private
ly by personal communication
with the doctor whose exper
ience qualifies him to judge the
value of treatment.
Such a physician in charge of
the arthritis ward in a large
hospital sees six hundred arth
ritis patients a year. He has
had considerable experience
with sulfur compounds, vac
cines, bee venom, serums, var
ious salts that have been pro
moted as efficacious, and the
massive dose vitamin D treat
ment. He has obtained the best
results with the massive dose
vitamin D treatment. Patients
receiving this treatment take a
minimum of 200.000 units of
vitamin D daily the first month
or more either four teaspoon
fuls of vitamin D in oil, or four
capsules each containing 30,000
units.
Some other methods of treat
ment are thus Judged by H. M.
Margolis. M. D., and V. W. Eis
enstcin, M. D of Pittsburgh:
Coloidal sulfur: without ra
tionale and without effect.
Vaccines: apparently losing
hold.
Fever therapy: results only
transitory.

Washington, D. C, June 10
From almost every section of
Oregon telegrams and letters
are being received by the dele
gation making two demands.
First, give the allies every aid
immediately. Second, keep con
gress in session. Messenger boys
rop into the offices of Senators
McNary and Holman. into those
of Representatives Mott, Pierce
and Angell, delivering sheafs of
the telegrams. Other Oregon
people depend on the airmail,
still others on the ordinary mail,
but whether wire or postal fa
cilities are used the burden is
ever the same.
Scores of these messages put
it right up to the senators and
representatives as though Ore
Ron's five lawmakers, and each
one individually, is personally
responsible if the allies are not
helped.
The delegation is supporting
the defense program unanimous
ly: voting for everything the
president has requested. There
may be a difference of opinion
later when the question of levy
ing taxes is up, but that is to be
expected and there is no admin
istration program on defense
taxes.
MEMBERS of tha Oregon delega
tion do not see what more they
or the United States can do at thla
time to assist the allies. Britain and
Prance are being supplied with
planea. guna, munltlona and other
material aa fast aa they can be pro
duced and delivered. Orders for our
own army and nary have been side
tracked to permit the manufacturers
to concentrate on suppllea for toe
aUles.
The allies are aided In other waya.
also, wherever possible and the line
Is only being drawn on sending
American soldiers, navy vessels and
army fliers. Aa for sending troops,
the regular army would not be a drop
In the bucket and 16 months would
be required to train a force for over
seas, by which time the war might be
over one way or the other. And the
average cltleen Is vigorously opposed
to another A sr.
WHATEVER luiricance It may
convey, the messages In demand
ing Immediate and every possible aid
rarely Include "keep us out of war"
a phrase which waa dinned Into the
ears of the delegation last year when
the "cash and carry" neutrality mea
sure waa In congress.
FOR the past two months, particu
larly since the Low Countries
were Invaded, there haa been Increas
ing aentlment that congress should
not adjourn: that It should remain
constantly in session. Part of thla la
prompted by the thought that Mr
Rooeevelt should not be left alone,
with almost unlimited powers, until
the congress convenes next January
Others believe that In these eiclt
lu, days the people expect member,
of congress to remain at their post
of duty Instead of returning home
and building political fence, for the
November campaign. If congress
should remain In session It might
accomplish nothing, but would be
l!ke firemen waiting for the bell.
Mr. Roosevelt does not want con
gresa to hang around Washington In
the sultry months of summer He
wants the lawmaker, to adjourn be

"THE purpose may be good.
The method Is neither open

In fact, the attorneys-general

approving the plan, practically
admits that it is a dodge to get
around the neutrality laws. (He

word "dodge;" employing in

group: "Your government is
coming to the help of the hard

group: "Your government is not
directly helping the allies."
That is to say, the plan is a
subterfuge.

Again subterfuge.
THIS writer, expressing a
purely personal conviction,
believes it would be far better
in the present state of affair
if our government at Washing

By doing so, they would com

results would be better.

of national emergency, it seems
to this writer, honesty and can
