A bill has been introduced in the congress to give President Roosevelt the following powers: 1. Take over and operate any strike-bound munition plant 2. Seise and use for the United States any patents, in the interest of national defense. 3. Requisition ships, wharves, railroads, farms, or any other facility deemed necessary in national defense. 4. Sell or otherwise dispose of, on such terms as the President deems satisfactory, any property right or interest thus requisitioned. Extraordinary powers to grant any ONE person in a democracy in normal times! But the above request, formally presented by members of the congress, merely emphasizes the fact that, in the judgment of the people's representatives in Washington, these are NOT normal times. IN other words, except for the formal declaration 1 of war, the United States IS at war NOW, fighting against Hitler, with every resource available and every informed person in Washington realizes the fact. Undoubtedly war has not been declared, simply because the powers that be, believe that American aid to Britain can be made more effective, without it. CO these extraordinary powers should be granted the President. For if a state of war had been formally declared, there would be no necessity for such a request. In time of war, the President of the United States, is Commander-in-Chief of the army and navy, and be cause of that position, is granted authority by the Constitution, to do whatever in his judgment is nec essary to do, to properly defend the United States. But because, technically, a state of war doesn't exist, the request IS necessary. So in granting it, the congress, as we see it, would merely be facing the REALITIES of the present sit uation, and abandoning further make-believe and pretense a course of action which has been delayed far too long, in this department's judgment A Friend of Labor Speaks What an enemy of organized labor may say about labor, should have little weight. But what a friend, and has to say, should have weight, for it is fair to assume that in such a judgment there is neither animus nor prejudice, but only sympathetic concern and genuine interest in the welfare of the labor movement. CUCH a tried and true friend, is Thurman W. Arnold, of the U. S. department of justice, former professor at Yale, confirmed New Dealer, and im placable foe of Big Business and Wall Street. Here is Dr. Arnold s verdict in the current Head ers Digest as to the role being played by labor rack eteers: "The labor problem I am most worried about doesn't get headlines and the public doesn't know what Is hap pening. That is why it is the most dangerous of all. Through the methods adopted, unions exploit consumers unmerci fully, such as the teamsters who make every truck enter ing their city take on an unnecessary man who gets $9 a day for doing no work; electricians' unions who Insist that, whether needed or not, a full-time electricap be hired on any construction Job using temporary power or light; -milk drivers' unions who prohibit selling milk at lower cost to consumers willing to buy It at stores; and other equally Incredible examples of unions telling consumers what and from whom they can buy and how much they must pay, and ruining the small business men." "I can find no evidence that labor wants this sort of thing, but 'when Individuals do protest, unscrupulous leaders have ways of punishing them.' I ran cite the ex ample of two union members in their fifties, who being dissatisfied with the management of their union, had pro tested, and were expelled and persecuted by the union to the extent of being unable to find work again. Some unions are making big money out of fees for working permits and exorbitant admission fees. This sort of thing is not democracy. It must not be allowed to spread." Vichy Versus Brenner Pass The 10th meeting of Hitler and II Duce at the Brenner Pass gets the headlines, but as far as the fate of the Mediterranean and northern Africa is con cerned, probably the more important gathering yes terday took place at Vichy, France. General Weygand, commander of the Vichy forces in north Africa, flew over there for a con ference with Petain and Darlan and the decision reached was in all liklihood, momentous. FOR if Weygand should decide to follow out the Darlan "line" and defend French Africa, against attack from ANY SOURCE, while the Churchill pro gram, as suggested in the latest press dispatches is carried out; then an ultimate clash between French and British forces in Africa would seem inevitable. And the result could scarcely fail to be, throwing the Vichy government into the arms of Hitler as an out and out allv of the axis. (X$ the other band, if the conference resulted in vf General Weygand's refusal to wage war against France's former ally, under any circumstances, this would amount to the downfall of Darlan. and the joining of retain and Weygand, in the maintenance of a strictly hands-off policy as far as further partici pation in the Second World war, on one side or the other, is concerned. And such a course would be of tremendous as sistance to Britain. For England, for the first time in the present war, has beaten Germany to the punch, and as Germany gets farther and farther from her air bases and bases of supply, has driven the pro German forces out of Iraq. IN' other words, France really holds the balance of power, in this struggle for the Mediterranean, in its present super-critical stage. What was decided at Vichy, rather than at the Brenner Pass, will in all probability, decide the im mediate fate of the British Empire in the Near East. iriDFORD MAIL a tried and true friend, TRIBUNE, MEDFORD- Personal Health Service By William eirmtf letters pertaining te personal bealta aM fejfUne, not te disease dlasnoslt or treatment, will be answered 6; Dr. Brad; II a tamped eelf addreeeed antelope Is enclosed.

ALL THAT GINCVITI8 Since the contumelious con ductor of this column quietly and cowardly dropped his one- man movement to persuade practitioners of dentistry to ac cept the title "Dentor" to in dicate their pro f e s s I o n , and leave exclusive ly to practition ers of medicine the title "Doc tor." there has been a remark- BDie Increase In the extent of correspondence with practitioners of dentistry, and a still more remarkable im provement in the temper and tone of this correspondence. Considering all the roily water that has gone over the dam the conductor feels quite human about the whole thing. Many dentists tell me It is scandalous the way some pric titioners abuse surgery in the treatment of interstitial gingi vitis. Now wait I'm trying to interpret for you, not airing my erudition. When a dentist says "Interstitial gingivitis" he means a slowly developing or chronic inflammation of the gums (gin giva is Latin for gum) which is deep-seated, involving the struc tural substance of the gums as well as the surface covering But such chronic gum tender ness, swelling, spronginess. bleeding and perhaps shrinkage does not necessarily mean that the patient has pyorrhea, these dentists insist, and In any case they maintain, it Is seldom ad visable to excise gum tissues or to destroy gum tissue by electro coagulation, as some dentists do If the patient is naive enough to believe pyorrhea can be "re moved" in that way. Incision of the gum tissue or electro-coagulation is occasion- ally necessary to Insure drainage of a pus-pocket which cannot be cleaned out and kept clean by conservative treatment. This is incidental to the systematic treat ment given by the dentist ot regular Intervals over a suf ficient period of time, and the dally treatment of the mouth and gums by the patient himself or herself under the dentist a in struction, and the constitutional treatment prescribed bv the nhv- slcian in cooperation and con sultation with the dentist. Gingivitis means gum inflam mation and It often occurs with out any sign of deep-seated in volvement such as that charact eristic of pyorrhea.

IS NOT PYORRHEA la fair to say that one whose gum or gums remain sore, tender, swollen and tending to bleed easily for more than a week or two needs the care of a dentist and the advice of a phy sician a dentist and a physician who cooperate or consult to gether in the treatment of such cases. At present this treatment requires the service of both phy sician and dentist: before long, now that medical education is to be given students who intend to practice dentistry, all practition ers of dentistry will be physi cians and none but qualified phy sicians will be allowed to prac tice at all.

THE cost of delay Is appalling The great majority of people in this country are ready, as the polls show, to accept full fight ing partnership with Britain if that is necessary to avert a Ger man victory, the president warn ed them of the necessity, not openly, but by Implication, in his message to the nation last week. He also promised to do all things that need to be done but again he failed to say how or when he proposed to do them Therefore, the Important thing today Is the timing of American action. That Is what worries Ambassador Winant and the chief officials and most im portant strategists of the war and navy departments. They do not doubt that action will come in the end. But they fear that for political and other reasons the president may wait to act until the moment for action has passed, or almost passed. Immediately after the presi dent's great message, the signs 1 indicated plainly that action ! would be taken at once. Since i then, there have been contrary signs. Heavy emphasis has been placed on "delivering the goods to Britain." although Britain is now so weakened that mere de livery of the goods will not be enough. Much has been made of the Atlantic patrol, suggesting ' that the president perhaps in tends to defer action in the hope that the patrol will be aid enough, or that It will create an incident which will serve as i a pretext for action. But the ! bleak truth still remains that . if the Vnited States proposes to act at all. the time to act is now. and not next week or even to morrow.

Kelly's Comment From Washington Defense Output It Disappointing Three Million Starve in Europe U. S. Disappoints Foe of Nazis By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, June 3. Insiders, the men who know, are disappointed in the short age of production for national defense and munitions for the British. The government has dished out billions of dollars in orders and only a small produc tion has resulted yet. Produc tion, at the moment, is far be hind the schedule tanks came last month for the first time, a few samples. A great pressing need is ships, and the west coast yards have been tied up by strikes. There have been scores of strikes holding up de fense orders, and the strikers have been aware of what their attitude means to national de fense It is the opinion of many in Washington that organized workers place their union ahead of the country. The American people are not being given the facts on the sinking of American supplies en route to England. There has been much talk of paving Davy Jones' locker with American goods, but so far as can be learned only eight such cargoes have been lost out of some 200. The British refuse to give the information, claiming it a "mili tary secret," although the Ger mans know what ships and what tonnage have been de stroyed, for it is Germany that destroys them. Aside from bombers and airplanes, the only munitions the English have re ceived thus far are old En field rifles, old 75 m.m. can non, old tanks and old ammu nition; the new material has not been manufactured yet; held up by strikes, largely. ... THERE are literally three millions of women and children in conquered Europe who are starving, actually starving. The British have refused the re quest of the Americans to send food to these hungry people on the theory that by mass starva tion of innocent victims these sufferers will be turned against Germany. Some of the high command In America are will ing to trail along with the Brit ish on this blockade, but senti ment Is increasing in the United States that the hungry must be fed; that it is inhuman to not send food when this country has a surplus and they predict that if the United States withholds food some day there will be retribution. What the British fail to recognize is that starving Europe is hating the English for preventing America sending food. As a matter of fact, the only country friendly with the British is the United States; the only country captured by the British (through propaganda) is the United States. Only two shiploads of food were permitted to go to France, then the Vichy government be came suspect and no food has been sent since. From New Zealand cabinet officers ar rived in the national capital last week. They wanted munitions, were given munitions, or rather the right to order them. From Ireland came a government rep resentative, called at the White House, asked the president for munitions, but instead of wea pons two carloads of food went to Ireland, which Is not starv ing and did not ask for food. Ireland could have munitions if it would give the British bases, but Ireland intends remaining neutral. e e IN the Greek. Turkish and other legations there are no longer totsts in cocktails to the United States. Bending elbows ,was popular a tew months ago wnen the nresirlent niihlirlv an. nounced that nations fighting! the nazis would be furnished ships, tanks, airplanes by the United States. It was dramatic speech, pepped up troops In the old country who battled Italians and Germans: but never ship, tank or airplane reached them and they were conquered. Even had there been no delay in production in the United , States the material could not have been transported before it was gobbled up. And the French, now in bad odor in .Washington, tell of assurances 'of support from the United States which never came. There is a demand that the United States seize the French colonial islands, but the United States is paying several hundred mil lion dollars for a lease on Brit ish islands and gave 50 destroy ers to boot. It sums up that of his date neither French. Greek. ,Turk nor the other countries as sured succor from the United States has received anything, and all the British have been ' Jivrn that was new are bombers in.-i a;rr'a-.e.. A few of the dip lomatic representatives under- stand the reason for failure of I the United States to make good on the pledged support, but they cannot understand why the gov- ernment permits striking work- imen to continue the pastime. . e I IN Washington the opinion Is i that the best national defense is a sky filled with Interceptors, ; pursuit planes and bombers. especially bombers. The army. for years denied proper equip ment, is now planning the great est air force possible, with thou sands of pilots, more than 100. 000 ground crew personnel and the heavens darkened with arm ed planes. Herr Hitler has dem onstrated what can be done by air. By Frank Jenkins HITLER and Mussolini meet today (Monday) at the Brenner pass. Simultaneous of ficial reports from Berlin and Rome announce that the delib erations "ended In complete agreement on points of view." (Hitler said to Mussolini: "You'll do so and so," and Mus solini answered: "Yes, mister.") THE British admit today that with the fall of Crete the Mediterranean has become vir tually an axis sea. Your map will show you that regardless of what may happen at Gibraltar there are now two bottlenecks in the Mediterran ean the 100-mile-wide strait between Italian Sicily and French Tunisia and the 200 mile gap between Crete and Libya. What happened In Crete shows plainly enough what the German air force could do to British ships in these narrow waters. OUEZ is now primarily an out " let for British ships In the eastern Mediterranean. It is no longer a through route. British shipping must now go the long road around Africa. As a mat ter of fact, it has been going that way for some time. Look for something to hap pen at Dakar. German planes, subs and surface raiders based there could do a lot of damage to this vitally Important around Africa traffic. f OOK also for the heat to be - turned onto Turkey. Hitler can by-pass Turkey by way of I Syria, but that will be ineffic ient ana muer ana rus advisers don't like inefficient arrange ments. TPHE London Daily Telegraph (still free to criticize after two years of war) bluntly de mands an explanation of Brit ain's fourth straight set-back of the war at the hands of the German war machine (Norway, Flanders. Greece and Crete). The British war office gives this answer: "It became clear that our NAVAL Bnd military forces could not be expected to oper ate indefinitely in and near Crete without more AIR sup port than could be provided from our air bases in Africa." That comes startlingly near to being an official admission that Hitler's air force has won the first major test of the war be tween sea and air power. (For your own explanation of Britain's defeats, go back four or five years to the time when Germany was building a mightv air force and BRITAIN WAS NOT in spite of clear and def inite warnings). A NOTHER lesson of Crete: " The great battle there shows what will happen to OUR BOYS if we send them against Ger many unprovided with the tools of modern warfare Including PLENTY of airplanes.
