"AT HOME IS EVENT OF SUNDAY" (Hdline society page Salem Statesman) With some of the boys and girls, it's something to talk about any aay 01 we week.

To which we reply, in the vernacular, "sn vnn think!" ' ' THIS department has always been allergic to the professional red hunter and witch burner, as a perusal of the files of this paper will demonstrate. On the other hand, we have refused tn o-n tn tv, other extreme, and swallow the Mnacnw Mn tW there is no organized communist machine whatever operating in the United States, except in the over wrought and undeveloped brain of Mr. Martin Dies THE truth, as usual in such matters, lies somewhere between the two extremes, and it is this mirHlo ground we have occupied. Moreover it is FROM that middle ground that we reiterate, there IS a sub versive communistic organization oneratincr in this country, has been for years and it has been the chief iacior in lomenting tnese defense strikes in the U. O. A. A S to precisely what immediate effect this ing war development may have on the American strike situation, remains to be seen. But that it will ultimately have a vital effect there can be little doubt. jonn m. nigntower, Associated Press corres pondent m Washington, D. C, thinks it will have an immediate effect, as the following signed dispatch in today's wire report shows : Washington, June 25. p) Defense officials predicted today that one by product of the Russo-German war would be an end to communist-inspired strikes In United States defense industries. Communist leaders, these officials said, must now con ceive their Interests to lie with the opponents of Germany whereas until the Nazi thrust into Russia last weekend exactly the reverse was true. One authority forecast that not only would communists cease strike agitation but that they would go to the other extreme to speed up production of armaments. "They undoubtedly will begin to argue." he said, "that workers unwilling to put in 65 hours a week are unpatriotic and fascist ic. M At Jl M aa THE Associated Press may be mistaken regarding the IMMEDIACY of the reaction.

WE ARE HEALTHIER THAN WE WERE WHEN THE WORLD WAR BEGUN If fragmentary reports of re jection or deferment of a eon. siderable per cent of groups of drafted men when they are called up for physical exam ination have caused any anxiety con cerning the fit ness of men today, don't give It a n other worry. Without citing statistics - of which there may say that for doubt -J. pj- are plenty I there is no room about the physical efficiency of American men and women to day. As a nation we ara cer tainly healthier and more vigor ous than we were when the World war began. The present fighting is resumption of the World war rather than a new war. Owing to the more rigid tests of the present draftees and volunteers a considerable num ber are rejected or deferred for conditions which would have escaped recognition or detec tion altogether in 1917. At that time X-ray was not used to discover lung disease which may produce no obvious signs or symptoms in the early stage. In 1917 men about to join up were not given the Wassermann test. The medical examination today includes several labora tory tests for evidence of dis ease which were not included in the medical examination 25 years ago. Of the 26,000.000 men regis tered in the draft in 1917-18 about three out of every four m the midwestern states passed the physical examination, and only a little more than half of the draftees in the New England states. New York, Michigan, Colorado, Arizona, California and Washington passed the ex amination. The better showing of the boys of the middle west was attributed to the fact that most of them were natives, while a large share of the boys of New England, New York. Michigan were foreign born. immigrants, and a large share of the boys of Colorado. Arizona, California and Washington were of families that had moved to those states in search of health. One cause of rejection which figures too prominently In most of the fragmentary reports re cently published is "insufficient teeth.!' That is a disgrace which ought to make our health au thorities stop and think. It is screaming evidence that the silly slogan, long accepted and ap proved Dy neaitn authorities in Yankeeland, "a clean tooth never decays," is false. It ought to wake the dentists from their lethargy and even stimulate them to review the question of the conservation of the teeth in the light of our newer knowledge of nutrition. This newer knowledge of nu trition has contributed to the Increasing vigor of children, youths and adults. From the medical point of view we are relatively stronger than we were in 1917-18, up to which time, you may recall, we pretended we were too proud to fight.

Settlers on the Grand Coulee project will buy their 160 acres for a top price of $15 an acre. Construction costs and water charges have not been worked out, but Bone proposes an out right subsidy of $80 an acre. There must be some write-off on Grand Coulee; a matter for future deliberation. The Bone p!an would mean that Grand Coulee starts off with a $100, 000,000 mortgage to be liqui dated by the users of power.

Third, they want to create exactly the reaction I nave creat.-d in Congress and In the country. Anger ana a blind determination to stop defense strikes at anv cost are putting fresh steam behind the demand' for repressive !rgislt,n. Obviously this is what the Com munists need. They have argued from the start of the European strusiile that "war hysteria" in the United States would bring legislation directed against labor's rights, and in the end produce home-grown fascism. Now thev have created the objective conditions which mav prove their prophecies, and so their entire position, correct. Some elements in Congress seem determined to fall In with Commuri t 'tratccy and pas Just the sort of laws they are angling for. ernment are politically unstable, torn with Individual dissensions and inefficiency. If the ponder ous regime falls, the clatter will be terrific. No official here shares the popular viewpoint that the de velopment was a break for Eng land. Hitler has over 300 divis ions. He could not possibly use more than 100 against England because of the restricted space for operations. Theoretically, j therefore, he could attack both ; Russia and England at the same ' time, although naturally he will await, for other reasons, the out-! come of the red venture before committing himself further. If the common expectation of a six-weeks campaign Is justi fied. Hitler would be ready for England around August 1.' ... "THE natural urge of statesmen to expound their opinions was overcome to a remarkable extent after the sensational new turn of the war. This government let Churchill speak first and then the official American policy line was presented, not by Mr. Roose velt, but by Under State Secre tary Sumner Welles. Senators and congressmen similarly re pressed themselves to an un usual degree. J This was not due to anv wide spread doubt about Churchill's proclaimed course. Simple self interest required aid by us to anyone fighting Hitler. "But an overly enthusiastic commitment might cause serious complica tions eventually. What, officials asked each other, if Stalin es caped and sought refuge in this country or England to establish a "Free Russian" government in authority here has been able to find any evidence of it. Hitler just did not give Stalin the chance to negotiate. ... CUDDENNESS of the venture caught many experts far out on dead limbs. Newsweek mag 'azine, dated a day after the at tack, told how Hitler was going to assign half the mid-eastern world to the Russian sphere of influence, as follows: "Reports that the axis plan of a 'new world order', involves assigning India. Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq to a compliant Russia as its sphere of influence are supported by new Japanese moves." Kelly's Comment From Washington Sen.

Ad miral Stark, chief of naval opera tions, phoned a similar state ment. Secretary of the Navy Fiank Knox reminded Charley Mac of their long friendship, said the navy is doing a soiendid job as it is. McCarran has some democratic support: McNarv can "inn repuoncan help, and this is known to the arimimK orf generals. The luftwaffe and the royal air force point the way to an mepenoeni arm, but neitner army nor navy wishes to lose power.

Some body, of course, double-crossed somebody. If you are wise, you will waste no time on that. There has been plenty of double-crossing in this war. i ncre will be plenty more.
