Editorial Correspondence ROCKFORD, Illinois, June stamping; ground tha original ye editor first aaw tha light of a year of our Lord 18801 But we shall not indulge in dear to the heart of tha "older boys" not at this time at least, for it has been decided to motor up to "tha lake" for Sunday dinner and a swim, ao tha mood ta ona of action rather than reflection, and the start must be made in a few minutes. Moreover there ara two membera of this Main Street family who are always in a hurry, oris ia aged eleven, tha other 89! While ye editor must aot as chauffeur I see Left Medford just a week ago, and a great deal has hap pened since then ao much in fact it just can't be compre hended, at least not by your correspondent. And particularly here, where everything ia so familiar, ao aecure, and so aa it always has been, tha same comfortable and beautiful world, that hasn't changed in any essential for over half century. While "over there" Paris ia in the hands of the Germans, and tha Naxi flag ia flying over Who knows, perhaps fortnight hanca "London Bridge will be falling down!" e Thanks to "Rosey," tha Streamliner agreed to atop at De Kalb about 50 miles south of here yesterday morning. But for a time it looked aa though the whole deal would fall through and we would have a suit for damages against the Chicago Northwestern. For on arising at Cedar porter we were getting off at the above mentioned station, and for him to get our bags out of the vestibule (they have little luggage space in the berths on the City of Portland). "Oeorge" shook hit head and rolled his eyes, 'rCan't be done boss, this yera train don' atop, nowhere!" So the conductors were called, regular and Pullman, and they said approximately the same thing, the latter had been on the Streamliner for three years and no stops between Clinton SBd Chicago bad ever been made, etc., ete. Our declarations that they were crazy and didn't know the potency of A. S. Rosenbaum of Medford, Oregon, in rail road matters, didn't aeem to help any, nor the fact we were to be met at De Kalb and had arranged a very vital schedule for the week-end, whereby if thia weren't done the railroad would be shaken to ita foundations, etc.. ete., by the article that is mightier than the sword, . . .! "Well, perhaps the conductor that gets on at Clinton may have some orders," waa the best tha trio could offer. However, it waa ENOUGH. The Clinton conductor DID have them, and the stop WAS made per schedule, much to the of De Kalb. Which only shows how foolish it is for anyone to risk a stroke of apoplexy by doubting mises he KEEPS them! Now aa a result of thia past of our opinions, or impressions, for it takes more than a week to change one a opinions. We left Medford with the belief this country is overwhelm ingly pro-ally and practically unanimously in favor of doing everything in our power to aid the allies in defeating Hitler. The first belief still holds, the country is at least 98 per cent pro ally. Hut when it comes to doing anything and every thing for the allies, there is no such unanimity, at least not if what we have heard and seen during the pant seven days, on a trip from the Pacific Coast to the Great Lakes, is a fair criterion. Almost aa strong aa the avmpathy for the allied cause is the opposition to sending ANY EXPEDITIONARY force to Europe, becoming actually involved in the European war. This doean t appeal to us as of the loss of manpower on the and is extremely strong, we have land, en route, and here in Rockford, there has been the same theme song, "do everything possible for the allies SHOUT OK WAR. The idea being, apparently, to give everything we can give materially, but shed no blood I In this direction it ia interesting to observe the Chicago ' Tribune, now incidently, with the largest circulation in its history, over a million I When we were here last September the Tribune was lam basting the proposed repeal of the arms embargo and claiming the people of the Middle West were overwhelmingly against it. Today, in the ssme vigorous fashion, the "world's greatest newspaper" ia opposing any involvement in Europe, any ma ferial aid to the allies, and cracking F.D.R. over the head in every issue for trying to drag thia country into the war. It also claims the people of the Middle West are overwhelmingly againat the present foreign policy of the Roosevelt admin istration. We may be wrong, of course, but If the Tribune is as out of step with Middle West opinion, regarding aid to the allies, as it was last fall regarding the arms embargo, it would merely be running true to form. We have never yet known the Tribune to be right on any important political question, and yet day by day it gets bigger and richer and more and more widely read. (Perhaps Dean Allen of the U. of O. School of Journalism can figure out that one I) Listened to another speech by Colonel Lindbergh over the radio last night, and waa again struck by the intolerance of certain good American citizens, another by-product of war emotion. One of the neighbors, for example, standing by, sug gested with considerable heat, that the Colonel should be sent "back to Germany, where he belongs, and pal up with his medal-bestowing pal. Field Marshal Goering!" As though Colonel Lindbergh were not as entitled to HIS views and to publicly express them as ANY OTHER IjAW A HI DING CITIZEN I In fact as far as w are concerned, that familisr declaration by M.

Nor can we call it arthritis, for that implies I n f 1 a ma- tion of the Joint, with the classical rubor, calor, dolor et tu mor (red ness, heat pain and swelling, by which one r e c o g n lzes I n f 1 a m a .tlon, and in the great majority of cases there ia no lnflamatlon, but only nutri tional change, first hypertro phy or overgrowth In the tis sues Involved, and later atro phy or shrinkage and wasting of the tissues involved, asso ciated with Impairment of function. In the all too famil iar complaint variously desig n a t e d chronic rheumatism, chronic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis deformans, osteo-arthritir. It would be suf ficient in the present state of our knowledge to call such joint disability merely arthrosis a nifty name, don't you think, for Joint trouble? Very well, then, arthrosis, as we agreed in the last talk on the subject, ia rather a de generation or a nutritional de terioration of the tissues in and about the Joint or joints involved, and If any Inflama- tory episodes occur at all they are Incidental and not the cause of the trouble. Remem ber we are discussing chronic joint disability, not the severe and dangerous . acute illness variously called lnflamatory rheumatism, acute Infectious arthritis, rheumatic fever. Nor have we forgotten about sim ple chronic infectious arthritis caused by neglected or undis covered septic foci (focal in fection). In chronic infectious arthri tis (the adjective infectious means merely that germs in vading the tissues are cause) there are usually ln flamatory signs apparent from time to time, but impairment of function and. if the septic focus is not promptly found and cleaned up, eventual de generation or nutritional de terioration In the Joint, are the important manifestations of this type of arthritis. Of course the time to cure chronic infectious arthritis is before such nutritional deter ioration has occurred. This is not tantamount to urging radi- THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP. Released by the North Amerlcsn Newspaper Alliance. Inc. Washington, June 18.

Because of the obvious ly Increased dangers to this country, many of his closest advisers are urging a proclama tion of complete emergency to speed up rearmament.

M. O. OF JOINT DISABILITY cal removal of suspected teeth. tonsils and the like. Rather I would say to the patient com plaining of vague joint disa bility: Select a good doctor, one In whom you can place confidence, and leave it to your doctor to decide whether or how to deal with any auch presumptive focus of Infection he may find in your body. But don't procrastinate, and don't fritter away ptecious time and money on nostrums purporting to be good for rheumatism. To all victims of joint disa bility or gradual or insidious development I would g'ive this warning: You may guage the progress of the malady by the degree of Impairment of func tion in the Joint or Joints af fected, and you must acknow ledge that degenerative chang es in the tissues of or around the Joint advance a bit with every lessening of function or use.

A bill was introduced to buy them at the rate of $25. 000.000 a year. Senator Jimmy Byrnes announced the President did not want that amount and would not use it.

That Is ominous enough al- I though clearly foreshadowed for . days. DRITAIN announces (authorita-- tively the dispatches say) her determination to carry on the war until victory is won. It is a big job but before re garding London s announcement as mere whistling down the wind remember that when Napoleon had the continent of Europe at his feet Britain still carried on and ULTIMATELY" WON. The British are historically a stubborn breed. MO Pollyanna twoddle is back ' of London's statement that Britain will carry on. Sir Neville Henderson, Brit ish minister to Germany when the war broke, says this (Mon day) morning: "Hitler can only defeat the British through starving us with a blockade, by bombing us into submission or by successfully invading the country. I think he will try all three." Britain, apparently is prepar ing to meet all three; knowing the odds and ready to take the consequences. At least there is no hint to the contrary. MOST anxious speculation in Britain this morning, ob viously, concerns the fate of the French fleet second largest in Europe. Hitler and Mussolini may be trusted to put on the screws ruthlessly to compel ita surren der. Combining the captured French fleet with the Italian fleet and what is left of Ger many's sea power would give Hitler a tremendously useful weapon against Britain.
