Youthi, liable to a year of
probable military training, are
editorially reported as regarding
"a twelvemonth as a lifetime."
It will seem all of that to some,
unless they change their ways.i

Senator McNary s Speech
WITH the exception of the reciprocal trade treaty
principle the Mail Tribune heartily agrees with
everything Senator McNary said in his acceptance
speech at Salem today.
In fact it was an EXCELLENT speech. From the
standpoint of A. S. Hill's rhetorical ukase regarding
"unity, mass and coherence," a far better effort than
that of his associate on the Republican ticket,
Wendell Willkie.
There was an easier and more harmonious flow of
words, with less vehemence and vigor perhaps, but
far more style and grace.
In fact, after reading the manuscript we found
ourselves wondering why the Republican minority
leader has delivered so few speeches in the Upper
House when he has such an evident flair for the apt
phrase and the telling figure of speech.
It must be because there are in that body so many
more impqrtant things to do than make speeches, and
so many members can do nothing else.
THE Mail Tribune particularly enjoyed what our
senior Senator had to say about the accomplish
ments of the New Deal in the direction of social and
economic reforms. Needless to say this has always
been the view of this paper, and is also in entire ac
cord with the carefully outlined and liberal policy of
the Senator's team-mate.
No doubt considerable pressure was brought to
bear upon Senator McNary to hand out a little con
solation to the Old Guard reactionaries, which Mr.
Willkie refused to do. The Oregon Senator also re
fused. This is all to his credit, and leaves the Union
League "die-hards" where they deserve to be, as far
as the party of Lincoln and T. R. is concerned, far
up on the arid banks of Salt Creek !
We predicted with Willkie and McNary leading
the Republican party the G. 0. P. would have a new
lease on life. This acceptance address by the senior
senator of Oregon, taken with Mr. Willkie's, proves it.
TX7E feel sure that an overwhelming majority of the
American people, regardless of party, will agree
with Senator McNary that the one outstanding need
in this country today is a revival of the tough ag
gressiveness, courage and self-reliance of our pioneer
forefathers who asked help from no one but God
Almighty and carved for themselves security, hap
piness and contentment out of the often unfriendly
wilderness.
The wilderness has gone, but the need of those
ragged American virtues certainly hasn't; and we can
think of nothing that would do more to recall, sus
tain and STIMULATE them than the success this
Novembor of this Willkie-McNary ticket.
MOT that those in need, should not be helped. They
' must be.
But the doctrine that the government of this
country is a Santa Claus not only on December 25th,
but every day of the year; not only in time of crisis,
but at all times, that ten to fifteen millions must be
kept on relief, regardless of how far this country may
sink into debt, because our business structure can't be
strengthened sufficiently to give them employment,
that doctrine,
As Senator McNary well says, is the doctrine of
futility, defeatism and hopelessness, a doctrine that
must be discarded if this country and the American
way of life are to endure, as the sturdy men and
women who made the country envisioned and cre
ated it.
AS to the reciprocal trade treaty principle, the
writer has talked with Senator McNary concern
ing this issue, and knows he is very earnest and sin
cere in his opposition to it. Thousands of good citi
zens agree with him.
We CAN'T. And at last report, at least, Wendell
Willkie doesn't.
In our judgment the reciprocal trade treaty ele
ment must be retained after the present war is over,
for without reciprocity there can be no revival of
world trade, and without such a revival there can
be nothing approaching permanent world peace.
"yilE matter is too complicated to go into, in any de-
tail at this time and, as far as that goes, we doubt
very much if it ever becomes a party issue, for the
simple fact that with America's change from a debit
to a credit nation, irresistible forces promise to com
pel this country to accept reciprocity in world trade
whether it is in accord with the Republican tradition
or ISN'T.
In short, just as the World War No. 2 has prac
tically rendered the reciprocal trade treaties inoper
ative for the time being, the coming of world peace
will render them IMPERATIVE if stabilized Amer
ican prosperity is to be realized.
And somehow we can never see the Republican
party, or any great national party, opposing any
consummation of that sort !

Mrs. J. K. writes:
"I am 64 years old. and my
hair turned gray when I was
quite young.
For the past
1 2 years I
have taken
your iodin ra
tion several
months each
year, and no
tlced no
change in my
hair, altho the
iodin ration
surely does
keep one from
going stale
and feeling prematurely old.
Two years ago I began eating
plain wheat and whole wheat
breads and cereals with cracked
or whole wheat in them.
In nine months my hair show
ed a marked change in color,
not really restoration of the col
or it had In youth, but certainly
a real return of the lost color,
and much of the new hair has
come in dark.
So I say if one wants to keep
hair from turning gray one
should not only take a regular
Iodin ration, as you often ad
vise, but one should also eat
plain wheat, whole wheat cereal
preparations and wheat germ
too. This is my experience."
Now then, if your hair is be
ginning to turn gray or if you
feel a bit gray, weary and mel
ancholy, I am happy to send on
request, if you inclose stamped
envelope bearing your address,
"Instructions for Taking an Io
din Ration." Along with it, if
you mention it. I'll inclose a
monograph "Wheat to Eat"
which tells you how to use plain
wheat In your everyday dietary,
and why.
All I know about preventing
hair from becoming premature
ly gray or possibly restoring
some of the lost color in some
instances, is what I read in the
medical literature and in the
lattcrs people write me about
their experience with the iodin
ration and vitamin B complex.
It is the vitamin B complex in
wheat that does the trick if any
thing does. In the vitamin B
complex there is an entity or
factor known to scientific work
ers as the 8nti-gray hair factor
because It seems essential to
prevent hair of animals on ex
perimental diets from turning
gray prematurely.
Plain wheat is the best natur
al food source of vitamin B
complex. Wheat germ is the
richest food source of it. Wheat
bran contained considerable of
it. Dried pasteurized non-fer

of Holland, the heads of the defense
ten-ires have been hammering on the
president to seek such bases without

The transfer of over-age destroyers
became an acute problem at about
the same time. England nd France
wanted dentroyera early In the spring.
Then In the retreat from Dunkerque

Canada rather than to England waa
the impulse that caused the presi
dent to act when he did In the
matter of the joint board, if the
transfer la made. It now seems more
likely that the destroyers will go
direct to England. Yet this doea not
diminish the three events' funda
mental relationship, or the Import
ance of this relationship as a sign
of the trend of foreign policy.
Nor la thta the only significance
of the timing of the three events.
Action along these lines has been
tn the air for some time. Every week
passing without action la seven
precious days wastd. It la difficult,
therefore, to avoid the suspicion that
the president delayed action to see
how the air assault on England
would turn out. If the predictions
of some of the American experts had
been aubstantlated, England would
have crumbled under the first on
slaught. Now that there are more
grounds for hope, however, the
reason for delaying action no longer
exist.
TAL1AN EDITOR
Rome, Aug. 27 (Jl Virginio
Gayda. often Italy's editorial
mouthpiece, today warned Egyp
tians against letting their coun
try be used as a springboard for
British attacks on Italian terri
tory. The fascist editor of II Cior
nale D Italia, charging the Brit
ish with attacking Libya from
Egypt, declared "it is necessary
to fix positions and responsibil
ities quite clearly."
The British have been speak
ing of threatened Italian attacks
against Egypt. Gayda said, in an
attempt to drag that country
into war.
Instead, he contended, "one
must speak of threatened at
tacks by anglicised Egypt
against Italy, which has the
right and duty to take all defen
sive measures which the rules of
war may impose."
Gayda asserted the British
were exceeding the military
limitations of their alliance with
Eg'pt by "invading and domi
nating territorial waters, ports,
soil, cities and camps of Egypt
to make thet.i a s'v.sle, formid
able instrument of war against
Italy."
Sat--kmz in
Salem, Ore., Aug. 27. Five
miles from the spot where he
was born Charles L. McNary
(Charley Mac to his fellow Ore
gonians) was officially notified
today that he has been nomina
ted by the Republican party as
its candidate for vice-president
of the United States. No such
honor has ever before come to
a native son of the far west.
From every section of the state
he loves so well and which he
has represented so ably in the
United States senate came
friends and well-wishers to do
him honor.
Most appropriately the cere
monies were held in the state
fair grounds, for Senator Mc
Nary is a practical, dirt farmer
and a state fair is the rallying
point of farmers rather than
city folk. It was also fitting as
a background because of Sena
tor McNary's identification with
agricultural legislation through
out his career in the senate, and
his selection by the Republican
party was intended as an as
surance to the farmers of the
country that they would have a
champion in the administration.
From the Blue mountains of
eastern Oregon; from the farms
and towns of the Cascade re
gion; from the Coast range and
distant Siskiyou: bronzed cat
tlemen from the high plateau of
central Oregon; timbermen from
the forests and fishermen from
the Columbia from practically
every community of the great
state friends of Charley Mac
converged within the grounds of
the state fair. They came by
automobile over every highway;
they came in special trains
which were parked within the
grounds on sidings where prize
cattle exhibits will be unloaded
within a few days, and they
came by bus, a caravan of these
latter rolling along the River
road to Fir Cone, the McNary
farm, and then on to Salem.
Democrats Josteled with Re
publicans as they milled around
the entrances to the fair
grounds. Families struggled to
keep together. There were bas
kets with lunch and pape r bags
with food, for hundreds arrived
early and settled themselves for
a long wait. Aside from a sec
tion set aside for precinct com
mittee and the delegates and
their alternates who attended
the Republican national conven
tion, it was "first come, first
served."
BUSINESS housrs of Salem closed
during th ceremonies and every
one went to the fair grounds, as they
do on Salem day at the fair. Time
stood atlll tor the clerks In the state
offices.
No local reception committee wel

In the hands of the Republican na
tional committee, a procedure differ
ing from the notification program
for Wendell Willkie, where the towns
people took matters Into their own
control. But the Salemltes who ordi
narily would have worn the welcome
badgea or had seats on the platform
were content to scramble for a place
on the bleachers and malt after the
ceremonlea for an opportunity to
shake the hand of Charley, their
neighbor and life-long friend.
The national committee, through
Ralph Cake, new national committee
man for Oregon, put the kibosh on
"distinguished guests" on the plat
form. Some leading Republicans
thought it would be good politics,
for Instance, to have former Gov
ernor Charlee H. Martin seated with
the elect, for the doughty retired
major general who broke with Mr.
Roosevelt, has a personal following
estimated at 35.000 Democrata who
will come In handy In carrying the
state for the Republican ticket. That
suggestion ass vetoed. Likewise re
jected was the suggestion that Mayor
Joseph K. Carson Jr. of Portland
ra Democrat) be Invited to the plat
form. Only state officials Included
on the platform was Oovernor Charles
A. Sprague, who will have the pleas
ure of appointing someone to fill

(SUNDAY'S death toll on Cali
fornia highway was 18. In
Idaho, four persona were killed
on the highway! on Sunday
which in proportion to popula
tion was a heavier toll than
California's.
'THESE figures for two states
are culled at random from
Monday's news.
If we could have the accur
ate totals for all the states' of
the union, we might find that
the number of people killed on
American highways on Sunday
equaled the number of English
men killed in Sunday's exten
sive German air raids on Brit
ain. THIS is the point:
There is little enough that
Britain can do about German
air raids except to fight them
off to the best of her ability.
There ia plenty we can do about
American highway deaths.
If we would all be just half
as careful as we ought to be,
our staggering highway death
toll could be reduced almost to
the vanishing point.
SPEAKING of week-end air
fiohtinff n little almnle
mathematics applied to British
and German claims of losses
suffered and Inflicted proves in
teresting.
The British assert that on Sat
urday and Sunday they destroy.
ed 4.5 German planes for each
British plane lost. The Germans
(slightly more conservative, be
lieve it or not) claim to have
destroyed 4.1 British planes for
each German plane lost.
Both, of course, can t be right.
There's a screw, loose some
where. SENATOR Byrd of Virginia
nninta nut that in the. Iflfl
days since the president said
we need 50,000 planes only 343
planes have been ordered for
the army, navy and marine
corps and none of the 343 will
be delivered in 1940.
These figures. Senator Byrd
says, come directly from the
secretaries of the war and navy
departments.
TO those of us out In the
sticks, who have been taught
that the way to get a thing done
is to do it, it looks as if our
government would be wiser if
it talked less and built more
planes.
REPRESENTATIVE Segar, of

DISAGREE ABOUT
Washington. Aug. 27. UP)
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) and
Sir George Paish, British econo
mist, disagreed today as to just
what Sir George said about hii
connection with the entry of the
United States into the World
war.
Wheeler's account, which
brought demands in the senate
yesterday for Sir George's ex- 1
pulsion from the country, waa
to this effect:
Sir George visited him at hi
office a few days ago. During
the conversation, the economist
asserted:
"I am responsible for getting
this country into the last war
and I intend to get it into this
one."
Sir George, on the other hand,
said this was what happened:
He called on Senator Wheel
er. In the course of their talk
he mentioned that, as a British
financial advisor during the
World war. he had "placed in
formation at the disposal of my
government." This information
was subsequently turned over
to the United States by the Bri
tish government and its char
acter was such. Sir George as
serted, that it influenced the
decision of the United States to
enter the conflict. F
Senator Wheeler, presenting
his version of the incident to
the Senate, said he had told Sir
George that his "I am respons
ible" assertion was a "broad
statement." The economist, he
said, thereupon "qualified it to
the extent of saying, 'well, ev
erything short of war'."
Senator Glass (D-Va.) said
that "if any Englishman were
to come to my office with any
such proposal I would drive
him out, and I think any sena
tor of self-respect should have
driven him out."
London, Aug. 27 '.41 A for
eign office spokesman described
Sir George Paish today as "an
elderly gentleman with a dis
tinguished past" who is in tha
United Slates on private busi
ness and has no authority to
speak for his majesty's govern
ment. -4
