trying to get some light on the problem is inclined to

Now and then an item dribbles through the con
flicting claims, however, which is significant and
enlightening.
From Berlin, for example, comes a semi-official
report the Russian soldiers are holding up far better
than the French a year ago.
Coming from such a source, that admission must
express the truth and therefore is extremely im
portant It also conforms to a pattern which the
present conflict has followed from the outset
namely: that what is expected to happen never
does.
COR the record will show that when this war broke
out, the French army was unanimously awarded
first prize as the best all-around army in Europe.
Russia was rated as fair, but after the flop in
Finland, dropped down almost as low as Italy,
undisputed occupant of last place.
The sad truth has recently become apparent,
however, that this "best" French army of a year ago
wasn't beaten, but QUIT.
Or to express it in another way, the army touted
as the best in Europe, proved to be the worst; it lacked
the first requisite for any good army, the will-to-fight.
And the army that before its entrance was con
ceded to be close to the bottom, now shows a better
fighting spirit than the French, and at the present
writing, is throwing several car-loads of monkey
wrenches into the Nazi Blitzkrieg machine, which

have the degree D.D.S., Doctor
of Dental Surgery) and Institu

will require students who in

Miscalculators
Leaving Service
By Jobs W. Kelly,
Washington, D. C, July 7.
Kenneth Dawson, formerly of
Portland, now of San Francisco,
nearly lost his shirt to the United
States maritime commission last
week. Mr. Dawson (once Repub
lican state treasurer, raising
funds for the GOP) is a steam
ship operator, managed the
States line out of Portland to
the Orient before he went to
San Francisco.
Maritime commission was
reaching out for the five freight
ers which Dawson operates be
tween Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Columbia river and Puget
sound, and planned disposing of
the company and tossing Daw
son and his office force "on the
beach." Protest to Admiral Land
of the commission drew the re
tort that It was "too bad" but
the commission needed the boats.
However, a little amendment
was offered to pending legisla
tion giving the commission con
trol over all the American flag
ships and Admiral Land was
willing to compromise. Instead
of taking 100 percent of the
snips he would take but 80 per
cent and leave Dawson with 40
percent to service the tidewater
sawmills of the Pacific north
west. Here Is what was back of the
commission's program: Govern-j
ment has given good contracts
to associates of Henry J. Kaiser
to build bases for the army and
navy at Honolulu. Wake island.
Midway island. Guam. Dredgers'
have been rented lone from the I
Port of Portland! and taken to I
the islands. Workmen have been I
gathered up from Grants Pass
to Everett. Wash., and have
been shipped in transports to
the various destinations. Mere
workers were needed, but most
pressing need Is to get cement.!
crushed rock, lumber, lime, nails
and whatever it Ukes to these!
bases, for with the exception of!
Honolulu there Isn't even soil
on the coral islands. Tha con-'
Tractors want to tha maritime
commission, said ships were
needed to keep them In supplies,
and as this is national defense
the commission decided that
Dawson's line would fit into the
picture. The commission planned
to turn these five boats over to
the President Line, operating out
of San Francisco, and have that
company manage them. The
Dawson outfit could have been
used, but the commission de
cided that as the President line
is subsidized by tha government
it Is virtually a government
owned operation. And that Is
where three of the boats will go.

THESE ara busy days for Ore
gon's Charley McNary, Republi
can senate leader. As head of
tha "loyal opposition" It is his
Job to see that the senate works
to a program. Democratic Lead-!
er "Dear Alben" Barkley has:
been in a hospital for a month.
Senator Jimmy Byrnes, who I
would ordinarily pinch hit, is
to become an associate Justice
of the supreme court at the new
term and he is busy brushing
up on rules and procedure (pos
sibly on Blackstone). Senator
Pat Harrison, who was president ,
pro tempore of the senate and a
close friend of Senator McNary,
has passed on, after being in a
hospital several months. Henry
A. Wallace, vice-president, is
absent.
Normally, the Republican and
the Democratic leaders make up
the legislative program, but now
with tha Democratic top men
sick, dead or too preoccupied
with other matters, the task has
fallen upon Charley Mack's
shoulders, for even the assistant
Republican leader, Senator Aus
tin, is absent. The result Is that
McNary has to figure out some
thing with Byrnes, ride to the
hospital and discuss the situa
tion with "Dear Alben," return
to the capitol and talk over the
general program with two or
three senators who are recog
nized as 100 percent new deal
ers. THE miscaleulators (mostly
$1 a year men) are resigning.
That they miscalculated was not
their fault, but there is demand
for a sacrificial goat for failure
of anyone to foresee the de
mands made upon Industry when
the president announced the
United States would be the arse
nal of democracy. The adminis
tration started out picking tip
top men in Industry, men who
knew the resources of everything
from rubber to power. Until two
months ago there appeared to be
enough of everything from rub
ber to power. Until two months
ago there appeared to be enough
of everything, but with all-out
aid to Britain as well as supply
ing American requirements,
shortages appeared: power, gaso
line aluminum, steel, copper, tin,
tungsten, chromite, rubber, zinc
and dozens of other articles.
The demand was beyond the
wildest dreams: army and navy
were staggered when they real
ized what should be acquired.
Stiffening of Russian Resistance
With Slowing of Hitlerian Drive
Noted at Opening of Third Week
By DeWitt MacKensle
Associated Press Analyst
Marked stiffening of Russian resistance to the nazi invasion
and a slowing down of the Hitlerian drive are the outstanding
developments at the beginning of the third week of the Russo
Gerrnan holocaust.
Not only has there been al
hardening of the Bolshevist de
fense, but Moscow reports heavy
soviet counter -attacks from
north to south along the attenu
ated battle-line, especially in the
crucial center on the bloody Ber
ezina river.
This demonstration that the
Reds still possess the power of
Initiative Is a .bright spot for
Britain and her allies. The fact
that the Bolshevists are able to
stage any sort of offensive, after
the fortnight of terrific punish
ment which they have under
gone, Is proof that their strength
for resistance hasn't been shat
tered. It would be a mistake, how
ever, to Jump to the conclusion
that the nazl operations have
bogged down. It would be equal
ly unwise to try to form definite
conclusions at this Juncture as
to how much the Muscovite
strength may have been under
mined.
There Is no doubt that the
communists' fierce opposition
has retarded Hitler's invasion in
marked degree, and likely has
upset the German schedule,
which calls for extreme speed.
It Is even possible that this delay
may be the determining factor
of the outcome of this titantic
struggle.
Still. It must not be overlook
ed that the nazi drive would
have slowed of Its own weiiht
and exertions. The Germans
have raced across a vast amount
of territory. Not only are their
communications extended, but
since the human body can stand
only so much, the nazi troops
must oe given a breather. Fur
thermore, the Invaders now be
ing up against the Stalin line,
they must slacken their offens
ive In order to consolidate their
posltion and bring up supplies
W"e are on the verge of an
other phase of one of the great
est, perhaps the greatest, strug
gles of all time. We must wait to
see what happens along the Sa-'
Came then widespread com- L
plaint that tha defense plans had
