always has been, tha same comfortable and beautiful world,
that hasn't changed in any essential for over half century.

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

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.

can figure out that one I)

certain good American citizens, another by-product of war

RATIONAL TREATMENT
Can't Call It rheumatism, be-
cause that term has no meaning
today. Nor can we call it
arthritis, for
that implies

tion of the

swelling, by

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-

A BOUT all that la known defi
"nitely as these words are
WTitten (noon Monday) is that
France hag asked for an armis
tice. 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.

The temptation to buy a rela

ing their fleet will certainly be
placed before the French In the
strongest possible light.
The threats of what will hap
pen If tha French fleet isn't
surrendered will be dire.
RUSSIA Is moving mysterious

certainly do betray a fear of
Hitler on Stalin's part.

especially the old world.
