RUTHLESSNESS (192S Style) The ruthlcssness of the Chi nese in disposing of Russian Bolshevikis. came as a surprise to the world, who have been led to believe that the Chinese would submit to oratory, and lessor outrages against their na tional existence, with Biblical mildness. Never in history has there been such a complete and thorough job of mass ruthless ness. The Bolshevik is, who thought they knew most of the fine points of ruthlessness, were outclassed, and had all their love (or ruthlessness eradicated. The Chinese were proceeding in an orderly manner, while the Russians were busy with occa sional ruthlessness, when all of a sudden the Chinamen arose and in four days had the ruth less Russians yelling for a cessa tion of ruthlessness.

Closing time tot itw Late to Claa all; Ads Is 1 p a Editorial Correspondence H Lauderdale Lake, Wisconsin, June 17. What is ao rare as day in June, if it doesn't rain! There has been a great deal of rain in this part of the country this Spring, bua yesterday waa clear and bright, ao is today, the trip up, therefore, was simply gorgeous. Perhaps tbia isn't tbe MOST beautiful farming country in the world, but, aa before stated, it's where your correspondent was born and bred, and therefore SEEMS so. It's in the blood, and no other part of the world has quite the same appeal. That is an interesting thing, the lure of one'i native land. Children born in Southern Oregon feel the same way about it, no matter where they may roam, Oregon ia their home, and there is never an entirely satisfactory substitute. One can imagine how the French people feel, driven out of their homes, where they bava lived all their lives, and their forefathers be fore them, generation after generation. Or rather, one CAN'T imagine it. We fear such a tragedy aa France has suffered the past few weeks bat to be experienced to be REALLY SENSED. No matter what one does or where one goes, it't hard to forget tbe war. Yet in this old shack on the thoret of a quiet little lake, the summer crowds haven't arrived as yet, it is easier to forget than where there are radios, and newspapers, and crowds. There ia an unwritten law here in the shack against radio, at there always has been against telephones, to atide from the Chicago Tribune which came thit morning, we have no newt, war or otherwise. And we fear it isn't a case where no newt it good news. The report from London it Winston Churchill will deliver a very important speech tomorrow. No doubt it will be a good one, permanent literature, in fact, but it't hard to tee how the greatest speech in the world can now save France ! ..... This country, northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, in fact, reminds one of the chateau country in France, your correspondent once rode a bike from Dijon to Paris through the heart of it. And that happens to be where the German army is advancing today, a country of rolling, wooded MIIh, quiet flowing creeks and rivers, quaint brick and stone villages, and every now and then a huge towert and ivy grown chimneys trees. A country just at pastoral thit, a country of peace, fertility and contentment written all over it. And NOW look at it! Somehow the Parit report a separate peace but will fight on to the bitter end, isn't very convincing, in view of the fact Premier Reynaud has quit, that was his battle cry from the outset. Even more discouraging is a corner of an inside page, that to call it a day, and abandon his of the chicken about Bobby M, lieved. If France had a fighting chance we are quite certain Hob would have spurned the Atlantic Clipper, and STUCK I So we are all prepred to hear denies, a eurrender, not that we question French courage or willingness to die for their country in the slightest. But the French are an extremely realistic and logical race, and would be the first to quit when it was clear further slaughter would DO NO GOOD. More than that, the censored war reports now are almost identical in character with those which came over from Finland, Norway and Flanders immediately before the finish. We were taken in by three of them, we refuse to be taken in by the fourth! So whatf Ho hum, let't go fishing and then take a jump in the lakel R.W.R. German War Machine Given Time to Grind France Finer By Fuehrer's Delay of Peace By DeWttt MseKensia . The delay in the Franco-German armistice negotiations, im posed by the Nazi demand that a plenipotentiary be sent to re ceive the closely guarded terms, gives the invaders a chance to continue their efforts to smash utterly the French army. The more desperate the posi tion of the defending forces. which now are split into four hard-pressed sections, the more difficult will the French govern ment find it to evade capitula tion. Harsh Terms Seen Hitler naturally wasn't un mindful of this in demanding a procedure which would give his war-machine more time to grind finer. All of which doesn't tend to lessen the belief that the terms for surrender are going to be harsh. There have been many rumors of the character of the mess of pottage which Hitler and Mus. solini have cooked up for trance to eat, but the terms have been closely guarded, although com plete capitulation is said by au thoritative quarters in Berlin to be demanded. Meanwhile, advance notice of the fierceness of the coming "battle of Britain" was served last night in the Nazi blood bath administered to the east coast of England in a great air raid of 100 planes. Answer to Churchill Maybe this wss hitler's answer to British Premier Churchill's defiant speech In which the Ut ter declared England would fight to a finish and would van. quish Nazidom. Those words must have sounded hard on the feuhrer's ears. . Be that as may, the raid was a potent reminder that this last act of the Hitlrrian blitzkrieg which is alKvut to open. Is going to be wsr to bloody death. Upon this final conflict de pends whether the French and British empires shall be crushed and dismembered. Vpon it de pends whether Hitler shall prodt by the conquests he slready has made or whether they shall be wiped out. Everything up to this Juncture chateau with its spires and sticking skyward above the and peaceful and beautiful as that France will never make little item tucked away in the Robert Montgomery has decided Red Cross bus. There is nothing at least we have never so be what the French government has been merely preliminary to; the assault on England. ' Horrors to Coma So great are the issues In volved that we are likely to see "total warfare" carried to ex treme which will exceed the horrors already revealed since Iliuir lirst lashed out at Poland. With the beginning of the Nazi offensive against England the blitzkrieg will enter a new phase. The clash between vast land forces, which has ended in the collapse of France, is over for the moment. This will now give way at the outset to a conflict in which the powerful German air force will be pitted against the British navy and air fleet. Infantry and mechanized columns won't be called upon to play a part again until Hitler attempts his actual Invasion of the tight little island. Bombing to Pave Way Hitler's logical strategy would seem to be to prepare the ground thoroughly for invasion by a vio lent and persistent attack on British shipping, ports, airfields and industrial centers with his bombers. Vpon the success of these initial operations likely will depend the outcome of the attempted invaiion, for it is un likely that Hitler would be able to occupy England without hav ing first blasted the country into virtual submission. Thus it is this assault from the air which holds the greatest danger to Britain. British Pre mier Churchill called the turn on that yesterday when he told the house of commons that the one great question is "can we break Hitler's air weapon?'' War Halts Racing. London, June 19.

LIFE INSURANCE AND According to a press notice received from an advertising agency, one of the large life Insurance companies has estab lished a foun dation for study of the treatment o f cancer, in a large univers ity hospital. T h a presl dent of the life insurance company says h 1 s company will support the foundation program for a period of years as a business like' move. He believes the life insurance business can draw a direct profit from invest ments in medical research. Can cer ranks second as a cause of death among his company's policyholders. Naturally, if the mortality rate Is reduced for the country as a whole, the policyholders of hit company will profit. More than 20 yean ago I withdrew my patronage at a buyer of life insurance from a company that began spending considerable sums on similar projects, and I recall that the company's representatives argu ed that the practice was justi fied because it would eventu ally rebound to the profit of policyholders. Perhaps it has done so. I do not know whether insurance costs less or whether dividends or benefits are greater for pol icyholders in that company. But at the time it was a long-term investment of uncertain value and It did not appeal to me. Founding and maintaining In stitutions for the study and treatment of disease or for the promotion is as noble as the everyday charity of practicing physicians everywhere. It is as praiseworthy as the penny, dime or dollar contributions of chil dren or adults to the Salvation army, the Red Cross, the Tu berculosis association. Still, it is not, in my opinion, a proper function of a large corporation in business to spend money on such activities. The money be longs to the stockholders, or in the case of the insurance com pany to the policyholders, and should be returned to them, to use as they wish. THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNEP Rlasd by th North American Newspaper A lit a iic. Inc. Hartford, Conn., June 19. In Washington, where wise men talk solemnly of "bottleneck which make It quite out of 'he question, oh. really impossible' for the United States to rearm as rapidly as dire necessity de mands, you are constantly told that "the worst bottleneck of all" is in aircraft engines. Here in Hartford, where they actually make aircraft engines, you are forced to conclude that the only real bottleneck is in Washington. If yi doubt it. py rltit to th Pratt fe Whitney ngint plant, which la on of tha two biggest In thia country. You will stand In s nun, brightly lighted shop, with nearly 300.000 aquar feet of floor space. You will watch workmen calmly and steadily checking shining new engine parts, aa strange and wonderful In shape aa a fine chtneaa bronre. to tolerancea aa mlcroacople aa .000035 of an inch. You wilt im row upon row of th almost magical machine tools, which can turn out euch parte, on after another, without mistake. And you will be told that where you stand, only nine months ago. ther waa an empty parking, lot. and that ao short a time before most of th men you watch belonged to th legion of young people who ha never had a Job. It ta a pretty exciting experience, and It leavrtj vou with no doubt at all of anything but the will and abil ity of the irovfrnment to uttllr th American Ingenuity and the Ameri can enerjry which can accompllah such miracle.

M. D. MEDICAL RESEARCH Still more do I doubt the propriety and even ' the busi ness judgment of spending stockholders' or policyholders' fundi for pretty booklets and other forms of publicity to teach people to avoid drafts and wear extra clothing when the weather is inclement. Corporations that vie with one another in expendi'ig mon ey in such activities ought to be rettratned on the plain ground that they are practicing medicine. Charity Is a matter of con science or soul. Large contri butions by a soulless corpora tion, aa a business-like invest ment, ara of course an imme diate boon to any health better ment research or activity. Still the ruling motive of philan thropy should be charity and not business. QUESTIONS AND AKSWEM. Spinach Doeant Matter. .

There it every indication that the terms will be severe. UITLER'S newspaper, the Vol- kische Beobachter (People's Sentinel) asserts bitterly: "We remember with the great est clarity the gray hours of the morning of November 11, 1918, when the same Weygand who today is the French gen eralissimo dictated to a heroic foe which lost honorably condi tions of an armistice more brutal than anything since the destruc tion of Carthage. He and his master, Foch. then did not speak as soldiers to soldiers, but as prison wardens to criminals." (Foch and Weygand. in 1018, were remembering the victorious German march into Paris after Sedan. When the Germans marched into Paris after Sedan, they were remembering Na poleon's march into Berlin: AN official German broadcast, " referring to the terms, says: "The time has come for them (the French) to take what they once gave Germany. We are now able to say that no living Ger man has forgotten it (what the French gave Germany) or EVER WILL forget it." HATRED hatred going down interminably through the centuries, never appeased but always GROWING, each new deed of vengeance fanning it to greater fury. When will it end? How CAN IT END? Each new war sows the seeds of another and more terrible war. DAUSE and reflect an this tnougm: If America forms the habit of getting into Europe's wars, by GOING TO EUROPE to fight, we will become involved inevit ably in this terrible cycle of hatred and vengeance, with each American man child born condemned In advance to die In these bloody and ever-recurring feuds. THIS writer'a deep conviction it that America'! jqb is to defend the American way of liv ing in the Western Hemisphere. For that supremely important task no preparation (if intelli gent and efficient) is too much to be undertaken willingly and no sacrifice too great to be contem plated.

Not withstanding the great colonel, the whole object of this in fernal war is the control of the seas. Mark that, my friends. If Germany, as she has prom ised to do. crushes the British navy, where will our 300-mile lone, our Monroe Doctrine be? The only thing 1 agree with the colonel is toying with an empty gun. Don't let us do that, but toy with loaded guns, and loaded with double charges. The only naticn that the war hog is afraid of is this great U. S. A. What we want is work for our people, our factories, our mines, and how better can we get this than by manufacturing munitions Just as fast as every man, woman and boy can make them, send them to the Allies. When England controlled the seas we were at peace, for Eng land (in spite of what the hyphenated in this country have to say) has always been our friend and our best customer; don't forget that customer. We need all the customers like that we can get. Who is our great est competitor?
