The British premier, in his broadcast reviewing the past and the future of military activities of the empire, against the world conquering plan of Messrs. Hit ler and Mussolini, dallied for 21 words on the tragic, diplomatic fizzle that climaxed the last war. Said he: "Quite suddenly and unex pectedly, our terrible enemy collapsed and we were so glut ted with victory that in our folly we cast it away." The next time, if there ever is one, the peace terms will be based upon facts and acts, in stead of dreamy Ideals that painted the aggressor nations as nothing more serious than naughty boys with good hearts, but a wrong start. e - Three local attorneys showed up yes. wearing Wendell Willkie for president buttons. The early eminent counsel gets named US. district attorney for Oregon. THE PARTY GETS HOUGH (Yreka (Calif.) Journal) "During the earlier part of the evening, a friend, Mr. Van Trease, dropped in for a social glass and to talk over the war situation. The half-gallon of wine was getting pretty well consumed and the argument about Hitler's game in Europe was hitting high when Sam brought out a rifle to settle the whole thing. After he shot Van through the upper leg, he began to think things over, as Van's pain became more excruciating." Sixth St. residents report they are aroused at 6 am. by postof fice workers (not postal clerks). who play the "Woodpecker Song with a Jack-hammer, while using a hunk of concrete as a xylophone. There is always some high of ficial of the New Deal rushing with an alibi tq the aid of H Bridges, the Pacific Coast labor pain-in-the-neck. Now comes none other than the attorney general of the land, who holds the deportation by act of Con gress, would be legally awful, and smash to smithereens some American traditions. Shipping this alien back to his native Australia, would make him a "martyr," and. his "insignifi cance," does not merit that dis tinction. It is argued. Better have Mr. Bridges a "martyr." The victims of his monkeyshmes are weary of enacting that same role. LA BULLE HIT FRANCE "But four years ago France was embarking on another sort of program a program which promised the people more wealth for less work. A Populsr Front government, a coalition of left wing groups, granted demand after demand for shorter hours and higher pay and social re forms, each gain producing new pressure, exerted through strikes and civil disturbances for fur ther advances, until French In dustry was all but paralyzed and French factories were producing In a month no more plsnes than German factories were produc ing In a day." (NY World-Telegram.) Cm Kali Trie urn ui ada, Editorial Correspondence Rockford, III., June 17. Returning from the lake, took turn down Main Street to the club for luncheon, and ran into a pack of newsboys selling "extrees" with the following ban ner in three-foot type: "France gives upt" , Needless to say it wasn't the local newspaper. Mrs. Ruth Ilanna tSimms owns the Rockford newspaper monopoly, and therefore extras are seldom indulged in. For extras are only valuable in the direction of advertising and beating the compe tition. Thia extra waa the "Chicago News," a tabloid, sent out over the rural sections by airplane. ' So the expected happened day or two before it was really expected, as far as the skipper of this travel-log is concerned ! It was none the less staggering, another incredible chapter in a completely incredible war. Even more staggering was the reaction at the club, at least where we aat in the midst of some of our old friends, all being in favor of England aurrendering also, and at once, thus pre venting more useless slaughter 1 W thought thia just "one man 'a opinion," but soon found it was practically unanimous at our end of the table. And the basis of it waa even more surprising, no pro-Germanism, quite the reverse. But ANTI-ROOSEVELTISM, any thing to beat that man in the White House, and peace in Europe before the election will beat him! Tea, believe it or not, that was the line of reasoning!! Perhaps in justice to the "old friends" a word of explana tion should be offered. Thia ia the blackest spot in the black Republican belt of the Middlewest, barring none. Hoover car ried it overwhelmingly in 1932, Landon in 1936, when it goes Democratic the Rock river will turn around and run uphill to Whitewater, Wisconsin I Unless one has lived here, it ia impos sible to have any conception of the anti-Roosevelt feeling, its strength and its unanimity. This ia especially true among the business and professional men, who make up the membership of the club in question. So no doubt there seemed nothing illogical or far-fetched, to them, in the claim that this war was started by Roosevelt, is being nurtured and advanced by Roose velt, and if continued six months will RE-ELECT Roosevelt. Literally, we have no doubt a vast majority of this particular club would regard the destruction of England and France as a small price to pay for the destruction of Franklin Delano Roose velt. And that, in simple terms, was the idea expressed at the luncheon table, by at least three worthy citizens. What can one do with people like thatf Well, we could do nothing but inform them they are as crazy as so many March bares, full of hop, and for our pains no doubt be put down as one of these Pacific Coast Bolsheviks! (Or even worse, a man who actually voted for F. D. R. in 1936!) No doubt this particular group isn't representative of the entire club, such groups seldom are, but after conversing with other members before our departure, we would say with out fear of successful contradition, as they will be remarking in Philadelphia a week hence ! that 99 per cent of the organi zation are isolationists, have been isolationists and are going to remain isolationists, unless and until the Republican party gets into a war on its OWN account! when war will, no doubt, be as holy a cause as the Civil War or maintaining the Smoot Hawley protective tariff ! We ahouldn't squawk, for we knew what we were getting into when we left on this trip, the worst climate in the United States, morning, noon and night. Nevertheless, we would give almost anything to be back in itedford, Oregon, for a few hours so we might get just one deep, satisfying breath. Oh, yes, it may be hot there, but not this stifling Turkish bath atmos phere, and we had a acorcher last night, even a sheet not dipped in ice water was too much. The above has been written during a morning thunderstorm, and a cloudburst, thunder that crashed like guns on the west ern front, with scarcely an interruption, and rain coming down in buckets, so the cars going up and down Main Street, with headlights on, have had to plow through a river of it. And has it cooled things off! Just like throwing a pan of dishwater on a cookstove that's Of course this surrender of France, if it is really carried out, will have a considerable effect upon the political situation in the United States. There will be far less insistence upon armed intervention than would have been the case, with France and England putting up a valiant resistance, for say what one will, the defeatist attitude already well established in this country, will now be considerably increased. And if Hitler should be as uncannily accurate in his predictions regarding the fate of England as he has been regarding his other con quests, then the European war may well be over before election day, in which case, the big issue will not be what we can do for Europe, but what we MUST do for the defense of the United States. Then this writer's belief that Mr. Roosevelt will not be President for a third terra will, we are quite sure, be a very easy and smart-monev bet. R.W.R.

This is all right so far as comfort is concerned, provided the i n d i v i d u al knows which foods he or she can take with comfort and which foods are like ly to cause distress. But there is another aspect of the question which la quite as Important in the long run and merits the careful consid eration of every peptic ulcer sufferer, whether the physician or specialist consulted from time to time cautions about it or not. I refer to the state of the patient's nutrition, particu larly to the hypo-vitaminosis trom which anyone following a restricted diet is likely to suffer. Effects of moderate defici encies of the essential vitamins are difficult to recognize in any case, and especially when the functional disturbances due to lack of enough of this or that vitamin are masked by the symptoms of such a disease as peptic ulcer, anemia or colitis, for instance. Medical textbooks are still oretty vague or indeed silent about this, and many doctors are incapable of mak ing practical observations from their own clinical experience. One eminent authority, Mc Carrison, British army surgeon who lived for many years In the Himalayas, found that natives practically never had gastric ul cer or appendicitis and inferred that their diet, consisting chief ly of eggs, rnilk, vegetables, whole grains foods with their natural vitamin B complex and C content unimpaired by refin ing processes accounted for the rarity of such diseases among them. Without going further Into the problem of the far-reaching effects of moderate deficiency of the essential vitamins, let us say that In any circumstances it is harmless to supplement the restricted diet with a suit, able concentrate of the vita mins most likely to be deficient in the diet. Many peptic ulcer sufferers can insure an adequate Intake of vitamin B complex by eat ing three or four ounces of wheat germ daily, this being the THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER Released by ihe North American Newspsper Alliance. Inc. Washington, June 20. These days when the unhappy plight of the democracies has created this country's greatest emer gency, it seems time to report that certain prominent new dealers who have always en joyed the president's confidence I have recently made little secret ui meir genuine uneasiness con cerning the new national de fense establishment. Recording thu fact U almoct iut I to result la tironcout tm plications. At a mult certain tact should bs stated at once. First of all it U clear that the feeling Is by no mean unanimous, which in Itself Is strange sine up to now the White House inner circle has been the best co ordinated group lthtn the govern ment. Then too, neither Tom Cor coran nor Ben Cohen are the cataly tic amenta fomenting the protests. It should finally be said that there are no plans for an International blitsrtag agaltut the national defense adrisory committee, such as wrecked the wsr resources board a year ago. A few of the most irate critics sing an old sons?. "The government h as been t u rned over to our en -emtea." But such talk Is not taken rerr seriously. The real complaint comtnit from responsible persona is that the national defense committee is trusting too much to outside d risers and not using sufflcirntlr the established government fad lit tee The result, according to this opinion. Is that rearmament is slowed up and contradictory policies are developed. It Is too soon to establish satisfac torily whether or not this is true.

PEPTIC ULCER richest natural food source of B complex. Physicians com monly exclude raw fruit or fruit Juice from the peptic ulcer diet, and that makes an ade quate vitamin C ration difficult to provide in the food. Al though eggs are usually allowed (egg yolk ia the richest natural source of vitamin D) it is ad visable In most instances to take some additional vitamin D to supplement the diet. Every physician abreast of progress is now prepared to advise or pre scribe suitable vitamin concen trates to supplement the re stricted diet. Everyone subject to peptic ulcer should make sure to get an adequate daily ration of the essential vitamins vitamins A, B complex, C, D in one form or another, es pecially B complex, which is invariably deficient in the pep tic ulcer diet.

It Is also sur prising since Jones, as dispenser of governments loans, already haa im portant duties and since the presi dent has designated a long-time civil service man, William Mc Reynolds, as coordinator. Jonee happens to be one of the few persons within the administra tion who flta the qusliflcattons for the Job a person who haa the con fidence of business and who under stands the workings of the new deal. But the president will probably not make any important changes In his set-up. Unlike a year ago when he waa hurried ln the appointment of a war resources board, the president chose his defense advisory commit tee with great care, and only after long talks with his government re organlaatlon expert, Louis Brown low. He was careful to give representa tion to business, labor, agriculture and consumers and to delegate to the Industrialist, William 8. Knud sen and Edward etettlnlua, all the power they might need. With two notable exceptions (Sec retary of Commerce Harry Hopkins who Uvea at the White House, and SIC. Commissioner Leon Henderson who la on the new committee), the new deslera were left pretty much out In the cold, both officially and unofficially. Thia accounts for part of their feeling. But It must be ex plained that they believe that the government must go on an emer gency basis and devote Itself primar ily to re-armament. Bo they can hardly be accused of sabotage or lack of patriotism. In truth, there la one fundamental defect In our national detenae eatab lUhment that 'ustltlea thia equation.

And. unlrsa ail sna are wrong, the national de fense advisory committee la rinding out the same thing.

A short tune ago, the pres ident was aald to be ready to trans fer -Secretary of Interior Harold Ickea to the war department, but Wood ring refused to retire gracefully. Prank Knox, a Republican who sup ports the administration's foreign policy, was said to be slated for navy but he refused the Job. Unfor tunately that appears to be where the matter now rests. In Hie Dayis: ; -News - Br Frank Jenkins pvN this day (Wednesday) when the world waits, the air is full of rumors. Diplomatic circles in Madrid hear the French have already accepted the Hitler-Mussolini peace terms, including uncondi tional surrender, occupation of France until the end of the war and surrender of the French fleet. IT sounds like hearsay espec- ially the fleet surrender. The French fleet has been under British command (as the British army has been under French command) since the be ginning of the war, and it is improbable the British would let it go, no matter what the French government agreed to. Berlin admits the French fleet has probably been "spir ited off" (the term is Berlin's) by the British, AMONG other rumors, the - Spanish government radio reports that many planes, pre sumably French, have been seen flying over the Mediterranean toward Africa. There are French armies In Africa. If, as expected, the terms of surrender include turn ing over France's African col onies to Italy, these armies may say: "You'll have to deal witli us first." fHE British and the Japs have signed an agreement settling several points in their Tientsin (China) controversy, and the barricades around the British concession in Tientsin have been removed. The house of commons, struggling with graver matters closer home, cheers as it gets the news. The cheers indicate some thing under the surface. THE Japanese foreign office In Tokyo announces it consid ers "maintenance of the status quo (leaving everything as is) in French Indo-China as important as in the Dutch East Indies." (There was a hint yesterday that the terms to be imposed on France1 would include turn ing over Indo-China to Japan obviously a bid from Hitler for Jap support). ANOTHER rumor: Britain is " considering the possibilities of buying large quantities of war supplies, including tanks and planes, from Russia. It sounds screwy, but with a world in turmoil anything can happen. CESSATION of horse racing in England "until further no tice" was announced today (Wednesday). When the British ' give up racing the situation is getting serious. "IN this side of the water, the Republican national con vention will open in less than a week. Hardly a word about in the papers. We're doing some serious thinking, too, you see. 117ILLIAM Green, president of " AFL. tells the Republican resolutions (platform) commit tee his organization favors "every ounce of assistance and supplies to the democracies in Europe short of our entry Into the war. I Asked whether AFL would 'be willing, if nece.ary, to tern iporarily give up some of its i wage and hour advantage, he ! replies: I "Labor is prepared to make the same sacrifices the a vera Be American citizen may be call icd upon to make." IT is an honest answer and a patriotic answer. If American industry and business will an nounce authoritatively that it is prepared to forego all abnor mal profits anting from war preparations, we shall be in a fair way to get somewhere quickly with a minimum of dis turbance and delay.

Prom the first It haa been contended that Senator Mc Nary haa a chance for the nomina tion as a compromise It a deadlock occurs. He la on friendly terms with all the active aspirants and they have come to him for advice. McNary'a progressive record, his championship of agriculture, hla yeara of experience with government affairs are recognized and these qual ifications are better known among national leaders (Republican and Democratic) than they si to his home-folk. AS a betting proposition, the as pirants leading the field are Willkie. Dewey and Taft with other hopefuls trailing.
