A woman employee of the De
partment of Labor, Washington,
D. C, hai been impended for
membership In an organization
which "hat promoted policies of
the Communist party." This
should scare the living daylights
out of 400 employees of the
Mare island navy yard, of Ger
man and Italian extraction, sus
pected as saboteurs. The most
damage the lady could do would
be to throw a tyepwriter out the
window. The "suspected sabot
eurs" might arrange to blow up
battleship.
Many rural residents are now
busy going "round the raspberry
bush" to pick them.

tained the United States will probably be involved
in World War No. II, regardless of the position it
takes.
Therefore the thing for the people of the country
to do is GET TOGETHER, support the government
it has, and that must wage this war, and thus make
the administration's war policy more effective,
rather than less so.
Brave words and wise ones!
THIS department, however, would go even further
than Mr. Willkie- There is, as we see it, no "proba
bility" regarding U. S. participation, in this war.
We are in the war now, and have been ever since
the lease-lend measure was passed.
If anyone cares to look over the files of this paper,
moreover, they will find that specific declaration
made in a letter from Washington when final action
on the lend-lease measure was taken.
"THAT measure WAS a war measure, just as defi
1 nitely a war measure as if it had been accompanied
by a war declaration.
For it committed this country to do everything
within its power to aid one belligerent in this con
flict, and oppose the other.
But because of the tactics adopted by the Roose
velt administration when the bill was proposed, and
have been followed since, the people of the country
as a whole have not regarded that measure as a war
measure or this country as an active belligerent, and
do not so regard them now.
And that is the real source of that lack of national
unity, confusion and bogging down of the Roosevelt
defense effort, that Mr. Willkie so deeply deplored.
THE people of this country haven't been taken into
the administration's confidence, they haven't
been told the truth.
For a full year now, leaders of the administration

appealing for greater national unity, for stronger
support of the Roosevelt administration in the direc
tion of a more effective and more coherent defense,
and such an appeal from the leader of the political
opposition is a fine example of placing statesmanship
above politics, patriotism
ambition and self-interest
But (at least as we see it) little real progress can
be made in this direction, until the present adminis
tration abandons its policy of giving the true facts to
a few of the higher-ups only, and withholding them
entirely from the electorate.
In short, the time has come to let the people know

Comment
From Washington
Daylight Time
It Power Saver
Electric Supply
Increase Planned
Fear Shortage
In Oregon Area
Br Johm W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, July 24.
President Roosevelt has inform
ed congress that he can save
9,500 kilowatts in the Pacific
northwest if he Is given author
ity to declare daylight saving
time in that area. Of the six
areas in the United States the
Pacific northwest would pro
duce the smallest saving. For
the entire country the president
says he can save 741,160 kilo
watts, provided daylight saving
is placed on a 365 day basis.
The president's proposal is
based on two things: There Is,
in some sections, a power short
age and using daylight instead
of electricity would save power.
The second argument Is that it
would make more effective the
work in war industries. Insofar
as Oregon is concerned there is
no power shortage and not
enough national defense orders
to bother with. The actual sav
ing of power in Oregon, ac
cording to the president's fig
ures, would, be about 10 kilo
watts a day;' about 26 kilowatts
a day in Oregon and Washing
Ion. MR. ROOSEVELT was sup
plied these figures by the fed
eral power commission, which
recently held a secret meeting
in Portland with managers of
all the public and private power
companies in the region and
discussed the possibilities of
inter-connecting all plants. The
meeting was secret to the extent
that no one was admitted who
was not a link in the com
panies. Reporters were barred.
It is the FPC more than the
war Industries that is prodding
the president to insist on all-
year daylight saving, and FPC
is concerned with saving power.
Of course, the aluminum is
sue bobs up and the assertion
is made that the national saving
would make 700,000,000 pounds
of aluminum providing the
savings were total and in one
place where the assumed saved
power could be applied to mak
ing Ingots from alumina. ,For
the Pacific northwest the esti
mated 9,500 kilowatts saved in
a year would mean practically
nothing in the manufacture of
aluminum. No aluminum com
pany would start with a con
tract for less than 35,000 kilo
watts a year.
IN the winter months it is
doubtful whether any consider
able amount of electricity could
be saved. The days are short
in the northwest and the nights
are long, and the longer the
nights the more the domestic
use of power. Industrial plants
require more light. Daylight
saving by the year would dis
organize the dairy business, and
tu adjust the hens some ar
rangement may be necessary,
but as hens confine their activi
ties to daylight they may lay
on time.. Parents of small chil
dren would not be pleased with
daylight saving as anyone
knows who has tried to put
youngsters to bed when the sun
is still in the sky and by day
light saving it is 8 o'clock.
Originally daylight saving
was started by bankers who
wished to get off early and play
golf. That is the fact of the
matter, but the alibi was to get
everyone to work earlier in hot
weather. Now it is to save
power and produce articles for
national defense.
PART of the general program
is to adopt a five-year plan and
increase the national power pro
duction by 25 percent. This
would cost $1,750,000,000 and
funds would come largely from
Reconstruction Finance corpor
ation. At the rate of $200,000.
000 a year RFC would furnish
funds to have the electric sup
ply companies manufacture gen
erators. There would be another
$170,000,000 a year to be ex
pended by the reclamation bur
eau (which built Grand Coulee)
and the army engineers (who
built Bonneville) and this
money would be spent for dams,
power houses and reservoirs.
There would be another $100,
000.000 a year for system sta
tions. Other funds would be pro
vided for establishing steam
plants to supplement hydro
plants where necessary.
While this Is the rough out
line presented to the president
by FPC In the presence of Sec
retary Ickes. Reclamation Com
misioner John Page and a few
others (including Benny Cohen),
no specific locations were made
for the prospective sites. How
ever, under this plan, proposed
by Leland Olds, chairman of
iFPC, it may be possible to start
the clam at Umatilla rapids, the
Prpoed dam at The Dalles and
other dams on the upper Colum

To the editor
Nearly every day the Mail
Tribune reports the arrest of
some driver who has no license.
As it seems to me I did not
originate the suggestion this
matter of operating a car with
out having a driver's license
could be stopped very effect
ually If Mr. Sncll would require
every applicant for new plates
at the end of the year to give
the number of his or her license.
No license, no plates. There
have been a number of acci
dents on the highway recently,
and at least one death, caused
by excessive speed. And I have
a remedy which I think would
curb these people who go too
fast. My understanding of the
law is that the maximum speed
is limited to 55 miles an hour.
Suppose a traffic officer stops
someone going 60 m.p.h. The
officer stops the car, deflates
tire, and gives the driver a
warning to watch his speedom
eter. At 65 m.p.h. deflate two
tires; at 70 m.p.h. deflate three
tires; at 75 m.p.m deflate all
four tires and the spare. Any
speed beyond 75 talk it over
with the judge. On roads where
it was a long distance between
service stations it might not be
advisable to penalize the speed'
sters in this manner, but if ap
plied between Ashland and Cen
tral Point, for instance, I be
lieve it would make travel safer
for quite all of us.
