'them? Watch YourStep, Mr. Bull! BRITISH diplomacy is usually something beautiful to watch. In comparison, most other world-power diplomats are bungling amateurs.

PRESIDENT HOOVER was never a popular Presi dent, and many good stand today. But disagreeing with President here at home is one thing; foreign nations calling him names for opposing war is quite another. And applying such an inexcusable epithet as pro German to a man who spent so many years of his life fighting Germany and aiding her victims might lead to very serious complications. For when all is said and successful diplomacy in public opinion. This country has been, and still is, overwhelmingly pro-British. But let a blunder of this sort go uncorrected and a great change might he experienced in a surprisingly short time. THE British slip-up is the what all well-informed Americans know to be true, namely: Mr. Hoover s strong personal desire to see Britain win, and his conviction that by keeping out of actual conflict with Germany at this time America can do more to bring this about, than by going in. People m the mass, howerer, even m this highly enlightened land, are not carefully when their emotions are aroused. Let the U. S. rank and this pro-German charge is ment's answer to Mr. Hoover's earnest appeal, and a popular reaction might well set in against J. Bull most serious in its consequences. Another Beautiful Dream HR, FRANK MUNK of Reed College, in his inter esting address here the other night endorsed, in principle at least, Clarence Streit's "Union Now." It is always amazing to so intensely opposed to, Hitler menace should see a post war "new order has been removed. For the truth is, the very elements that make the fight against Nazi Germany so bitter and so unre lenting today are the same elements that in a post war wono will render any to attain. And those elements heading of NATIONALISM. XtT HAT, for example, is the exciting cause of Dr. w Munk's intense hatred passion for the allied cause? The Nazi conquest of his country, of course, his passion for the freedom of his native land. Undoubt edly an overwhelming majority of his countrymen feel the same way about it, and are praying for the time when they can strike, and free Czechoslovakia from the totalitarian yoke forever. Yet there are also Nazis in Czechoslovakia, some are Slavs, some are Czechs. They are in a decided minority, but they maintain that rather than have another war it would he better to yield to German control, and work out their destiny as a part of Hitler's new world order, the net result would prove a vast saving in blood and treasure and subse quent adjustments would lighten the burden. 11THY is such a doctrine scornfully spurned by the people of Czechoslovakia as a whole, why would a vast majority in the country prefer death to any such dishonor? Because their feeling for their country is so STRONG, because the privilege of freedom from foreign domination, and liberty for themselves and their country is so precious and so priceless. That? all. It's love of country. YET, if Mr. Streit's "Utopia" should be estab lished, the national freedom that Czechoslovakia is so willing to fight and die for wouldn't be possible. i'T'O take one other example, there is Ireland, which Mr. Streit includes in his "Union Today," Ireland so cherishes its liberty and independence, its free dom to do what it darn pleases in its own way, that lit can't even extend a helping hand to hard-pressed Lncjanu, with German hombs dropping all around.

WHAT, MO Woman, aged 38, in good health, frequently gets what she describes as "that let down feeling" in mid- afternoon. She haa read that sugar or chocolate bar or some thing of that sort will help, but, alas, that is the heaviest time of the day In her work and to be caught eat I n g anything then would mean the loss of her Job. So what ... Why. the doubly qualified old buzzard would he fire a girl just because she sneaks a little candy or a sugar wafer or a few lemon drops or a banana In the middle of the afternoon? If he wants to get the best work from his employees it might be wise for him to have a regular recess for 10 minutes or so both mid-forenoon and mldaftemoon and serve 'em tea and cakes or crackers and milk or some fruit juice. One reason why so many young women suffer a let-down along in the afternoon is be cause they do not take an ade quate lunch. Generally they are not so keen about saving the expense for proper food at lunch as they are about keep ing slender. In this silly attempt to keep thin by taking Insuf ficient food or by eating only things the dumbbells imagine are not fattening, they succeed in keeping scrawny and in poor health. A good substantial lunch at noon, supplemented by few miles of oxygen on the hoof every day or every everting af ter work, will give a woman a five letter word for attractive ness, where dimwit dieting gives only the first two letters of the word oo. In some instances the mid afternoon let-down amounts to severe depression, not only physical but mental too, and the individual may behave ab normally or erratically in con sequence.

Wrath of the union has natur ally risen, because the shot they offer is the same which the board has fitted to many an in dustrial foot. In fact. It is so mad it has hired a Washington lawyer, Robert E. Sher, to try to keep the board from gypping it. Mr. Sher started off as labor counsel in the June 14 session by charging "certain supervisory personnel" of NLRB with anti union activity. He named three names "particularly" General Counsel Wattes. Executive Sec retary Stern, and Director of Personnel Stover, Mr. Watts, 'according to the relator, related I he had for some time been of !the opinion that the union pro ! posal was not workable "from the management standpoint. Board member Dr. Lelserson was quoted as criticiring the 1 union "considerably," character izing its technique as "inept" and some of its activities as "im proper." I Board Chairman Miliis made the point, the magazine said, that he opposed bringing in an out side arbitrator "who doesn't know the peculiar conditions of our industry," I The third meeting, on June j 5, adjourned without agree ,ment and it appears that the j union may have to call a strike, 'defense program or no defense program, in order to get Its Just i dues.

In any case if hypo glycemia is severe or frequently recurs the condition requires medical attention. The no lunch habit may be all right for sedentary folk who are ovemourished and under worked.

Kelly's Comment From Washington Attack on Reds Change Lineup Commies in U. S, Play New Tune Roosevelt Health Worries Capital By Jobs W. Kelly Washington, D. C, June 30. i One month ago. May 27, in his fireside chat. President Roose velt denounced communism. The president has condemned aggression by Joe Stalin (Gory Joe) in Europe and to show his feelings has refused to send birthday greetings. But und the lend-lease act, which pro mises to give material aid to all who oppose Herr Hitler, the best guessers in the national capital are predicting that the United States will soon be ship ping war munitions to the Sov iet and throwing out a lifeline to Moscow, which has been dominating unions, blocking na tional defense and ordering its tens of thousands of agents to undermine the American gov ernment. The new twist of war makes an important theater in the north Pacific ocean, especially the Pacific northwest. Most con venient way to reach Russia is via Vladivostok. Out of Colum bia river and Puget sound the best route is by way of the Great Circle. This is many days shorter than a voyage from San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego. In considering shipment of supplies to Russia (Winston Churchill expects the United States to aid the communists who have been sitting back waiting to destroy civilization), the lend-lease administration will, naturally, lean toward the ports of the northwest and the freight will move across those docks. THERE also must be a rear rangement of shipping. Most of the ships owned in Columbia river and Puget sound are now on the high seas headed for the Red sea with munitions. On the return voyage they are to pick up crude rubber and various needed ores. Aid to Russia will require more vessels and tank ers to carry cargoes to Vladi vostok, which is the principal submarine base of the Russians. If under the lend-lease act the maritime commission becomes big hearted it may take over 50 tankers on the Pacific coast (as it did on the Atlantic) to carry fuel oil and gasoline to Vladivostok, resulting in a shortage of gasoline in Oregon and Washington, as is now the case in the eastern states, and curtail oil for heating homes. TO keep the record straight it may be noted that scarcely 12 hours before Herr Hitter de clared war on Russia the band of pickets which had paraded 24 hours a day for more than a month in front of the White House demanding peace, sud denly withdrew. The picket line was sponsored by communists (Dies committee evidence) and was financially supported by a communist controlled longshore men s union. And 12 hours af ter the declaration communist spokesmen all over the United We Need Good Used Tires and We Will PAY TOP PRICES for Them Even though your tires are not com pletely worn out, we believe it is to your advantage to sell them to u NOW and buy new ones at the present low prices.

It so happens that for the past three weeks In federal district court a few blocks from the residence of Mr. Roosevelt the government has been trying sev eral communists who hava been the source of soviet propaganda in this country. President Roosevelt declared that the United States would be the "arsenal of the democra cies." The communist agents are nar ii,mndlns that he make good and assert Russia is "the" leading democracy. Under the lease-lend law they claim war nimlllnm ahmild CO tO Russia and that the most direct route la from the Pacific coast to Vladivostok. Of a sudden the M,mmimi.ti sr. allies of Eng land which until recently they charged was conducting an "Im perialistic" war. RtTSSTA has never been pop ular with most members of con- ith and the feasts of caviar. sturgeon, vodka and champagne given at the embassy attracted the left-wingers in government and the social climbers of Wash ington more than congressmen. There has been scarcely a day for many months when attacks on communists in this country (called by name) have not been made on the floor of the house and placed In the Congressional Record. These congressmen have not chanced their views toward the termites because Herr Hit ler is moving on Russia, and Churchill's appeal for the United States to aid Russia makes no impression upon them. They regard it as a case of r!nff.at-drff. Nevertheless the betting is that Mr. Roosevelt will go along with Churchill. . THE health of the president is the subject of quiet comment recently. The frequent colds, his cancellation of press confer ences and his curtailing the number of visitors is something new. The president dislikes air- conditioned rooms and has been working in his study in the White House proper where the temperature almost flattens con gressional leaders who call on him for conferences. The pres ident looks worn and tired and he is carrying a heavier load today than at any other period of his tenure. The labor situa tion is unsatisfactory and when he sent the army to Inglewood to break the strike he met with criticism from labor leaders who supported him in 1932, 1936 and 1940.
