Italy has been- assigned the
task of purging the Mediter

so far is plain. First, the fleet
will flit, and cause the British
to burn up a lot of coal and
oil, trying to catch them. By
this time, the Italian armada
will be going so fast, they will
circle the globe, and hit them
selves in the rear. Thus Mus
solini will "unleash his sea
might," and sink a row boat.

Editorial Correspondence
Washington, D. C, July 10. War can be TALKED any.
where in the country, but only on the Atlantie seaboard can it
be acutely felt. And this is especially true of New York, where
everything it concentrated and emphasized. This fact was
strongly impresed upon us just before we left New York after
a boat trip around the island of Manhattan.
Coming down the Hudson river our ship passed close to big.
dirty-looking Cunarder lumbering up stream, along the upper
rail of which a crowd of children of all ages and sizes were lean
ing. waving their welcome, with considerable dignity, to the
land of the free and the home of the brave. Above their heads
was grim looking gun sticking out of a tarpaulin covering,
and above that the Union Jack fluttered rather feebly on a
drooping halyard.
This gave ut the idea, to at soon as we docked at the Battery
we took the subway for the Cunard line dock at West 14th
street, getting there before these child refugees from World
War No. 2 had departed for their various and sundry sanc
tuaries. And it was a tight and an experience we shall never forget.
Not, at one might tuppose, stirring or tragic, quite the re
verse, in fact. These were British children, and the true Brit
isher detesta nothing much more than to betray hit emotions.
These children, ranging from mere babies to lads and lassies
in their early teem, were at poised and self-contained at under
similar circumstances their ciders would have been.
And of course there wat another reason for their composure
they were not war refugee! in the generally accepted meaning
of that term; they were not fleeing from shot and shell; none
had lost their parents or family connections, they were all
children of wealthy or well-to-do families, being tent to close
friends or relativei in this country for safe-kcepinn, many with
nurses and governesses, all with tome adult companionship and
supervision. .
And yet we have a pious idea that had conditions been more
tragic most of these children would have upheld that British
tradition of the "stiff upper lip," race-pride and race-breeding
were so written in and over all of them.
Yes it wat extremely interesting, here were the youngest
generation of the greatest empire this world has ever known,
an empire that for the first time in nearly a thousand years is
faced by armed invasion and threatened by disaster, from an
imperial standpoint EXTINCTION, and ".these striplings in
their grey flannel shorts, half-hose and bright school ties were
just as instinctively, and thoroughly little English gentlemen
with an attitude and a code of manners to uphold as if they
had been two or three decades older.
And the eorner-stone of that attitude is a deep, unshakable,
but unobtrusive, sense of SITEKIOIUTY, the inevitable hall
mark of the upper and ruling class Briton, particularly when he
comet iu contact with tome other race than his own. That and
the unwritten law never to show the white feather.
So it wat very interesting to see these youngsters react to
their first contact with their American cousins, particularly the
newspaper men, who, when one comes to analyze it, are per
haps just as typically American as these boys and girls were
British.
Here was James Sims, for example, on his way to San Fran
cisco, looking with complete amazement at the news photog
raphers as they hopped up and down and in and out taking can
did flashes,
"It is so amusing," said he incredulously, "it is really. 1
have never seen anything quite like it."
(These weird Amer-i-cahns!)
And before they had come off the boat, and a middle aged
woman strolled into the picture, along the rail, one of the
camera men had yelled: "Hey, sister, can't you move on."
More incredulity on all sides, as one of the children re
marked: "Did I really hear him say, 'hey SISTER'?"
(All this, of course, in the most delightfully modulated and
patrician Oxfordese.)
Being late we missed a great deal of the show, but talking
with some of the reporters afterward, they only confirmed our
impression, as one of them remarked in response to a query :
"Say, that baby with the white curls ami big nose, I don't
know, not more than ten years old, the Du-.-hess of Duckbill
couldn't have given nie a glassier eye than when 1 snapped
ner nine Drotner i i
Another incident: Master Timothy KiilMon Thomason, seven '
years, extremely bored with the questions asked, finallv re-1
marked: ' j
"The date of my birth is the first of March, and what else
would you like to know, mv GOOD MANt" j
And all over the dock were piles of cricket bats, tennis
rackets, sports caps and blazers, yes, "Waterloo was won on ;
the playing fields of Eton.''
But as one envisions HO-ton tanks, dive bombers in groups of
fifty, big Berthas spouting fire across the channel, those hordes
(to quote Dorothy Thompson of "FACELESS men" '
Une wonders ir the Battle of Britain will be! Somehow we
tear in modern war, sports or the sporting technique dou't
count. . .
Another incident, related by a ship news man.-
Little six-year-old Claire Douglas was popular with all the
youngsters on board for she once went swimming with the
Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose at the Bath club. Other
children doubled tip with laughter when a misunderstanding
reporter asked if they had been swimming in a BATH TLB.
"Did you hear what he said?" e.sked one of the other little
TLB'" Im,lfine swimming with the Princesses in a BATH
And, as the relator declared, the entire group was so over
whelmed at the thought, that interviewing had to cease for a
while.
And while the reporter, too, thought it funnv, he didn't
exactly like, or understand, the attitude of these strange "little
men and women" from another English-speaking land
And the brutal truth is: "The little men and women" didn't
like or understand what they saw of their strange American
cousins, either! R.W .R.

TREATMENT OF
The precise significance of
the term dipsomania it a mor
bid and uncontrollable craving
-for alcoholic
liquor. It is
n e c essary to
distinglish the
d t p t o maniac
from the ine
briate; the
latter Is an in
toxicated per
son, no matter
how he or she
happens to be
c o m e intoxi
cated. A dis
tomaniac 'may
seldom or nev
er be intoxicated in the ordin
ary terse of the term
Dipsomania is morbid state,
a disease the great obstacle to
intelligent, sensible treatment
of tho disease or morbid condi
tion Is the incapacity or un
willingness of the dipsomaniac
to recognize that he or she
has the disease. Nearly always
the victim of the deterioration
Indignantly insists and appar
ently believes he or she can
still "tafcj it or let It alone"
and therefore does not need the
restraint, care or treatment
which the physician advises.
If the dipsomaniac is of a
low level of intelligence to be
gin with this resentment anfl
refusal of proper medical treat
ment is generally a sullen and
brutal rccction of all efforts
in that direction. If the dipso
maniac is a person of higher
intelligence level say a Judge,
a doctor, o teacher then he
or she resorts to shrewder tac
tics and ingeniout arguments
to evade treatment.
For that matter, when ' a
person of brains and culture
takes to drink, moral deteriora
tion Is usually more marked
and, because of . the person's
previous sound mind and char
acter, likely to prove more dis
astrous to those who place trust
and confidence In the person.
The dipsomaniac now openly
exhibits various ugly or un
lovely vices or principles or
conduct which, in his former
normal state he never display
ed. And unfortunately for
those wno may be in uny de
gree subject to his influence
or example, the educated dip
somaniac proseitutes his brains
to the sorry business of con
structing excuses for or plaus
ible incentives for his vices or
immoralities. Thus while he is
not obviously drunk he has a
d e m o r a 1 1 z ing influence on
younger persons and persons
of limited influence who are
incapable of gauging moral
THE
CAPITAL
PARADE
By JOSEPH ALSOP and
ROBERT KINTNEP
Released by the North
American Newspaper
Alliance. Inc.
Washington. July 11. What
may happen to the Democratic
party during the oncoming cam
paign, no man can tell. As of
today, however, on the eve of
the Chicago convention, one
thing is abundantly plain. After
seven years of triumphant self
confidence, the Democrats have
suddenly gone groggy at the
knees. Except in the little band
of new dealers, whose reliance
on the president amounts to an
act of faith, the morale of the
party has broken down. ,
Outside the new deal group, lead
ing Democrats talk about the strug
gle ahead In the tone of an unfort
unate slumblebum about to be herd
ed Into the r1n with Joe Louts They
predict victory, of course. That Is the
customary thing to do. But even
aa they make their predleuona one
detects a slight catch In their voices,
like the catch In the voice of the
stumblebum when he loudly tells the
sports reportera. "Why. Ml have the
bis; ape down at the end of the
third round."
The slgna of this swift collspsa In
Democratic morsle are moat obvious
ly visible in the house and the sen
ate. Virtually all th Democratic
senatora and ' representative era

to a presidential third term effort.

values in such circumstances.
As I havs already stated, rem
edies purporting to cure alco
holism or take away the crav
ing for liquor when secretly
administered are one hundred
per cent humbug.
If the dipsomaniac can be
persuaded to acknowledge hir
abnormal state and desire earn
estly to be restored, a reason
able period of medical treat
ment will rid hirrj of the crav
ing for alcoholic liquor. The
patient must have a skilled
nurse attendant to take charge
of him at home, or else must
enter a hospital or other insti
tution where such caro is pro
vided, for a period of three
weeks. Any competent phy
sician can administer the treat
ment successfully. The meth
od, given to the medical pro
medical profession by Dr. Alex
ander Lambert, has restored
many dipsomaniacs to sobriety
and industry in the hands of
the family physician. I can
give no further details to lay
men, but on request of any
doctor of medicine I am glad
to mail an abstract from Lam
bert's original report, with suf
ficient Information to applj the
method in practice please in

Half Baked Dietetic AdMce
A noted food specialist etates that
anyone get enough vitamin D from
such fooda aa egg yolk, butter, un
refined lard, beef suet and mammal
liver. How do you reconcile this with
your theory that all children require
vitamin D to aupplement their diet,
and even many adults need some.
(P. J. R.)
Answer The "specialist" evidently
hsa things confused In your mind.
Milk, cream, butter, eg; yolk are
the chief sources of vitamin D In
our food. None of them provides
enough for the requirement of the
Infant, crowing child or young adult.
Suet and lard contain practically
none; liver very little.

friendly to the White House simply

The trouble la that If the presi

w-orkera. all the moderate Democrats,
all the new dealers and all the Job

the new dealers who argued, "the

share the new dealers' conviction.
But If the president decides to run.

duce a doctor'a certificate to support
such a plea, a huge number of men
In his party would still be bitter
against him for "knocking down the

cuse him of having forsed the doc

be Incredibly difficult for the prea
Ident to rally and unite a party In
which one sector of opinion consid
ers him a sort of long-shot bet. while
another w-ante to see him run and be
beaten.
At th moment. It Is almost uni
versally assumed in Wshington thst
the president s choice will be to run
although few forecasters fsll to add
the hedge thst "he s a great man for

Rumors as to his plsrs are that he
will replace Jamea A. rar'.ey with tho

AAA PAYMENTS
FOR YEAR RISE
10 750 MILLION
By Fred Ballsy
Washington U.F! More than
6,000.000 farmers have qualified
for places at the counter when
Uncle Sam slices the $750,000,
000 government benefit pie for
1940, department of agriculture
figures show.
Payments will range from a
few dollars to $1,000 and will
average $125 for-each of the 6,
020.400 farmers who have been
certified by the agricultural ad
justment administration as "co
operators" in the 1940 program.
These farmers will have
earned the payments by com
plying with AAA acreage limi
tations on cotton, corn, wheat
and other crops and by follow
ing soil conservation practices
prescribed by AAA.
! In addition to receiving bene
fit payments, farmers who co
operated will be eligible to re
ceive loans from the Commodity
Credit corporation on their 1940
crops. Wheat, barley and rye
have been declared eligible for
loans and corn and cotton are
j expected to be added.
The number of farmers parti
i cipating in the farm program
I this year is the largest in seven
years of operation of the pro
grams. Last year the total was
5,764.200.
The benefit payments for 194,0
also are expected to reach a new
record. They will consist of ap-
proximately $500,000,000 in soil
conservation payments; $223,
1 000.000 in "parity" payments,
and $40,000,000 to sugar pro
ducers. Agricultural adjustment ad
! ministration officials estimated
that 82 per cent of all cropland
in the United States was farmed
under the AAA program this
year. Last year the percentage
was about 80 per cent.

LIQUOR PRICE CUT
SOON IS FORESEEN
Salem li.Ri Oregon liquor
drinkers are paying an averags
of 30 cents a quart more for
their drinks although the new
federal levy now in effect If
only 75 cents a gallen.
The liquor commission said
the difference between the fed
eral tax and the $1.20 the stats
upped its price is due to the
commission's policy of adding
a 40 per cent mark-up over
the increased cost on all sales.
The percentage of mark-up
over the increased cost remains
the same although there is an
actual money increase of 45
cents a gallon over the federal
tax that the customer is paying.
J. N. Chambers. Salem mem
ber of the commission, said that
a reduction in prices would
probably be made by liquor
manufacturers soon to offset de
creases in sales resulting from
the higher prices. Chambers Ad
ded that these reductions would
be passed on to ihe customers.
