In other words, if President Roosevelt Intends to declare war on Germany, why doesn't he ask congress to declare it, and be done with it WHAT the President says about the German sink inrr rf tVio "Rnhin Mnnr" ?a nil trim anrl a varrl 11 v4 h'V aswusit wwa. aav va va v woau tta) j a, vat wide. But it's old stuff. It was repeatedly stated in the last war, and has been reiterated in this. This lawless, inhuman, piracy on the high seas is all F. D. R. says it is. BUT what REAL good is served by further tongue lashing of Der Reichsfuehrer? It is rather like throw ing rocks at a blood-thirsty grizzly that has you treed. It makes the bear MORE dangerous, and until some one hands you a gun, your position no less so. Appar ently the President has no gun, or having one doesn't wish to use it TO this department at least, it seems that the situ- ation as far as Germany and the United States are concerned has long since passed the tongue-lashing, wrist-slapping, stage. If the President is convinced the country isn't pre pared to declare war on Germany, then certainly the less he indulges in warlike rhetoric the better. On the other hand, if he believes the country IS prepared, but is himself only worried about public opinion, then let him have the courage of his con victions, and assume his responsibility of national leadership. He need not worry. The people of the country as a whole will follow him, wherever he declares the country should go. But this business of TALKING war and DOING nothing about it, of verbally lambasting the axis every other day and thereby enraging it, but doing nothing to check it, strikes this department, as, to express it mildly worn out. A NOTHER Roosevelt, many years ago expressed our idea when he declared : "Speak softly but carry a big stick!" Above all don't speak harshly if you have no stick. or having one are not ready to use it THIS paper doesn't WANT war. WHO DOES? But ii. utucira mat n ilu uie jmsaitxe VI me teilU-lt'ase bill, the country virtually entered the war, and war declaration or no war declaration is definitely com mitted to the policy of Hitler's defeat If this is correct, then why continue this shadow boxing, and diplomatic face-making and name calling further? If the time has not yet come to back up our words with deeds, then isn't it the part of wisdom, dignity and prudence, to indulge in LESS provocative lan guage, until we ARE? The Lindbergh Assumption OLONEL Lindberghdelivered another anti-war speech Friday night, this one from the Holly wood Jbowl. We haven't changed our view regarding the Colonel. We regard him as entirely sincere, and honestly devoted to what he regards the best welfare of his country. But we also regard him as grievously mistaken and under conditions which exist (virtually a state of war), an unfortunately subversive influence. However until there IS a state of war, he is techni cally, at lp.tst. pntirplv within hia richta XE could even go further than that, and admit, j slow and expensive, contractors, ' that accepting one assumption, we would also I wh" have the'T 'l'"? i . . , .

Addreae Dr. William Brady, tu CI I amino, Beverly Hllla. Calif. THIS WE NEED FOR A stretch In federal prison and maybe a trifling fine Is indeed an absurd penalty for the despic able crime of income tax evasion. Peo ple who squeal about high taxes and avail them selves of any opportunity to evade paying their just rates are nearly al ways thrice blessed, so far as wealth is c o n c e r ned, thanks to the privilege of living in this country, and that is what makes their attitude so con temptible. Current news item refers to the appeal made by a tobacco manufacturer, in a hearing by a congressional committee, that he would not kick if they took his shirt off his back as long as they treated the other fellows the same way, and he suggested substantial levies against sugar and coffee as a step in that di rection. Apparently no one ventured to object that sugar and coffee do not belong in the category of luxuries in this country. Sugar and coffee are generally includ ed with the necessities of life in America. It would be highly in congruous and unethical to tax sugar and coffee more than the barest minimum if at all. Both sugar and coffee are important items in maintaining the nation al physical and mental health and morale. Tobacco and alco hol are not only unnecessary but in too many instances harmful to morale. Let us impose a tax of at least 100 per cent on tobacco and a tax of at least 1000 per cent on alcoholic beverages and liquors. Such taxes would be for the good of the country,- in time of war or In time of peace. One might think these taxes are paid by the tobacco manu facturers. Of course the consum er pays all taxes, and the con sumer's interest is therefore paramount, even though legisla tive bodies seem unmindful of it. Tobacco and alcohol are luxu ries and even without consider ing their demoralizing potenti alities they should be heavily taxed out of all prcportion with taxes on necessities of life.

Answer All eyaa ara brown. Eye color depends on the amount of pig ment In tha Irla. tha ring around tha pupil. Eyea called "black" have moat pigment; "brown" or "nazal" eyea have lea.; "gray" or "green" eyea still leas pigment; "blue" eyea least of all. So parents who are called "brown eyed" might have chil dren who ara called "blue eyed" and vice vena, altho "blue-eyed," children of "Brown-eyed" parente ara more frequently obeerved than "brown eyed" children of "blue-eyed" parenta. gaorharln In reoent reply to query you stated that up to five grain, of saccharin dally la harroleat.

(Pi A proposal that farm labor short ages be met by hiring CCC troopers to harvest crops was offered as state grange delegates closed the annual convention here last night. In a flurry of laat minute re solutions, delegates gave tacit approval to the parity price pro gram by advocating crop price control which guarantees pro duction costs. Plus 10 per cent, they also decided to support an initiative measure which would require a county-wide vote before r"' of county officials could be raised. Others asked: Adjustment in rail-truck wheat freight rate dif ferentials; an increase in pay from $3 to $8 a day for state legislators: Improved logging highways: liberalization of spray residue regulations, and expul 'ion of aliens 'inimical to the social and economic welfare of ,n natiotv" Murder Suicide t.a Vegas.

By Frank Jenkins fN a special message to congress. today (Friday) on the Robin Moor, President Roosevelt de scribes the sinking as "ruthless" and the "act of an international outlaw." He declares the United States Goes not propose to yield the ue of the high seas to Germany. 1 ET'S keep this Robin Moor incident straight in our minds. Hitler sank it for a purpose. Since he has sunk no others since, it is probable that his pur pose was to find out how the American people would react to such a deed. The reaction was utterly dif ferent from that which followed the sinking of the Lusitania in the other war. The American people were then flamingly in dignant, and demanded immed iate war. This time they had little to say. THE comparative silence with which the sinking of the Robin Moor has been received in this country is in all probabil ity a GRIM silence. But Hitler might not under stand it as such. He might Jump to the conclusion that the Amer ican people are determined not to go to war, no matter what happens. That would weaken the influence of the United States in the present critical situation. It must be made plain to Hit ler that the indignation of this country is definitely to be reck oned with. So the President tells CON GRESS (not Germany) that the Robin Moor sinking was "ruth less" and the "act of an inter national outlaw" and adds that the United States does not yield the use of the high seas to Germany. That is intended as a warn ing to Hitler not to do it again. Having warned him, we will wait to see what he does now thus passing the buck back to him. I ONDON "informed quarters" describe the RAF's nine-day series of bombing blasts at channel invasion ports and Ger man industrial areas as an all out attempt to smash German preparations for invasion of England, which is "expected as soon as Germany settles mat ters with Russia." British officialdom, you see, is encouraging no wishful thinking. Wishful thinking undermines morale, and Britain needs to be unfailingly tough in these critic al days. BRITAIN'S No. 1 problem Is to protect the British Isles, come what may. If they are lost, the war will be irretrievably lost. DRITAIN'S probable strategy is to get Germany spread out as thin as possible over as much of the world as possible. Getting spread too far and too thin ultimately caused Napoleon to crack. It may cause Hitler to crack. a IZVESTIA. of Moscow, soviet government newspaper, says today: "Neither through the forests nor the steppes, the mountains or the seas will the enemy ever step across the forbidden bor der." Words and. as Octavus Roy Cohen says, "they don't mean nuffin'." What will count will be Rus sia's deeds. LAST RITES FOR Portland.
