GUEST COLUMNIST
Medford Chamber of Com
marce please note:
Arthur Perry, columnist de
luxe, Medford Mall Tribune, of
fers his biennial lure to the
best minds of the state for each
to do a column for him in re
turn for a box of Rogue river
pears. Perry the columnist prob
ably knows full well that he
couldn't wangle these intellect
' uals Into giving their services
Just to be kind to Perry. He
knows, further and fully as
well, that It would take more
than gold to seduce these high
priced artists of tha typewriter
to turn away from their own
daily stint long enough to help
brother onto a well earned
vacation, or whatever is the
reason for these guest column
Jngs. So he holds out the one
and only bait that would take
the Industrialist away from his
plant, the merchant from his
ctore, the preacher from his
pulpit, the mother from her
babies or the Main street speed
maniac away from the wheel of
his car, same being a box of
Rogue river pears.
Yes, dear Medford folk, your
columnist Art Is a sly, slick
business guy as well as col
umnist of the higher order, than
which there probably Is no
nobler trade. He knows there's
something about a Rogue river
pear that has a taste excelled
only by a Willamette valley
Strawberry,
We well remember when Art
started this Idea two years ago.
We hustled to furnish a column
and sent same by return mall.
then sat back and waited. Sum
mer slowly slid from the lap of
spring and after a long period
of deliberation langourously
changed into fall. But yet no
box of Rogue river pears. At
last they came around about
holiday time and we sneaked
them through the back door of
the office and home where they
were put In a convenient place
to ripen.
Then came the long expected
day when we pushed thumb
Into the side of one of the
pears and found it yielded to
the pressure. Out came the pear
and we gouged our teeth into
tide of the same. A little stream
of pear Juice trickled down the
chin and onto our tie and shirt
front, but this was lost in the
heartfelt satisfaction had from
the bewildering taste.
After all. what's a few words
on a typewriter as against a
Rogue river pear? Rudyard Kip
ling once wrote magazine stories
for dollar a word; Westbrook
Pegler pays Income taxes of
fabulous amounts. But all this
Is as dross and copper pennies
compared to the Income of the
hippy guy who can turn out
columns in return for Rogue
river pears.
So there you have It and all
we have to do from now until
tnen is to sit back and wait
until Art sends on the pears.
And when they come we'll
gay with Tiny Tim. "God bless
everybody" and Art Perry In
particular.

the "Masonic Analylst," Port

At Long Last
AS the circulation of the Mail-Tribune is somewhat
limited at the British G.H.Q., we hesitate to take
any credit for this surprise party for Adolph in Iran.
But it does follow the line advocated in this depart
ment for a very long time, i. e. : follow the nazi tech
nique for once, and get there "fustest with the most
est men."
Also with Hitler still holding that Russian bear by
the tail, harass Adolph with all possible punch and
speed elsewhere.
1IE would still prefer an attack which Hitler could
and had to meet, and thus by dividing his forces
relieve pressure on the hard-pressed Slavs.
But no doubt, attacking anywhere along the west
ern front would not be feasible at this time, and co
operating with Russia, in the occupation of Persia IS.
Not only should this Anglo-Russian military co
operation boost Russian morale, but it will provide a
gateway for the more expeditious shipping of allied
supplies to Moscow, where we imagine there will soon
be great need of them.
A LL in all a master-stroke, and only another indi
" cation that when Adolph decided to double-cross
Joseph, he not only put his foot in it, but got his other
leg caught in a bear-trap as well.
Is This a "Moral" War?
have a communication from a "military ex-
pert." At least that is the way the writer signs
his name, we fear with a hint of sarcasm.
We quote in part:
"What a farce! When Hitler moves Into Holland, It's a
foul crime' against a peaceful and neutral nation) but when
Mr. Bull and Butcher Stalin march into peaceful and neutral
Persia, its a sweet and beautiful dispensation from heaven!
And before the ink on those eight points are dry pledging the
allies to respect the right of all peoples to live under the form
of government they wishl Tell me the moral difference, Mr.
Editor, between these two cases of neutrality violation, ex
cept that having British aid, Holland resisted; and not having
German aid, Persia didn't!"
Well we admit morally, that's a tough one.
But to' come down to brass tacks, just what have
morals to do with war anyway?
This department at least has never indulged in that
particular form of ethical hair-splitting.
Once war is declared and certainly Hitler brought
on this one, there is only one law and that is the
law of force.
BOTH sides thereafter indulge in high moral indig-
iiatiuu uvci mc Lentigo ouujricu uy uuici
That's a part of the war game. But the plain truth
is, both sides do whatever they believe will be to
their advantage, and they have the force to do. This
is not always clear during the heat of conflict, but it
always is, when a fair historical perspective has been
attained.
And what has been true
one.
So we admit that morally there is little to choose
between the German violation of Holland and the
allied violation of Persia,
The allies say if they didn't take over the country
Hitler would. Well Hitler said the same thing about
the allies, when he invaded
Therefore morally speaking one action can wash
off the other, as far as we are concerned.
AS to violation of pledge 3 in the 8 points, it is
hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that
all these 8 points, referred to a peace, not a war
program ; to what the allies promise to do AFTER
Hitler is destroyed, not before. So that complaint is
hardly justified.
On moral grounds, there IS in this conflict, how
ever, as we see it, all the difference between the two
I. .. 1.1 1 I, i . . TUP ITT 1
liuiikcpiuiK luires uieie i-uuiu ue ueiween xvium aim
WKUMG, between L1UHT and DARKNESS, between
the survival of an honest law-abiding and self-respecting
world, and its destruction.
But that is the only moral judgment we feel dis
posed to draw. When it comes to tactics which may
or may not be adopted by the various and sundry
combatants in this war, or any other war, we must
leave the fine moral distinctions to those better quali
fied than we, to see them.
We can see no morals in any warfare, but" a com
plete abrogation of all moral considerations when war
is declared.
Protect the Public

shows the people of that fair city, strongly favor
COMPULSORY auto liability insurance, the vote
being over three to one.
Such protection to both the motoring and non
motoring public in this state, has been advocated by
the Mail-Tribune for some time.
If this poll is a fair index of Portland sentiment,
then a compulsory insurance proposal if initiated,
should easily pass.
For as Multnomah votes, so votes the state; and
Portland determines Multnomah.
We trust someone will take appropriate action be
fore it is too late. No one who can afford to drive a

PROPHYLAXIS

Pennsylvania Medical Journal
some years ago Dr. Alexander
Sterling advo-
cated making
the prophylac
tic use of qul
n 1 n compul
sory during an
e p 1 d e mic of
flu.
In the past
year or two
the federal
govern m e n t
has acquired
and stored in
the treasury
8,900,000 ounces of quinine,
not so much in preparation for
the next flu epidemic but per
haps Just in case of a South
American campaign there be
ing still a great deal of malaria
endemic or constantly recur
ring in parts of South Amer
ica. Besides, I have been urg
ing in this column for quite a
while now the efficacy of two
grains of quinine three times a
day as a preventive against the
cri, and Uncle Sam reads the
papers.
There are 7,000 grains in a
pound or 18 ounces figure for
yourself how much quinine In
the government's store for each
person In the country. I dare
not, my arithmetic Is too
treacherous.
If everybody In the country
were to begin taking two grains
of quinine three times a day
and keep it up for, say, four
weeks, that might make a not
iceable hole In the 26S ton pile,
what? If I'm a ton or two off
In my computation what's a ton
of quinine between friends?
Come to think of it, a large
portion of the population, prob
ably two-thirds or more, would
not require two grains three
times a day, to gain the Im
munity that quinine gives
against what the unenlightened
call "colds" (many of them, I
suspect, because they are un
certain about the pronunciation
of cri kree). One grain of qui
nine sulfate, in pill, tablet or
capsule, three times a day, pref
erably after food, would be suf
ficient for children up to the
weight of 75 pounds. The dose
of medicine for a child is bet
ter determined in proportion
with body weight than accord
ing to age. If the child weighs
one-half of the average adult
weight, one-half of the adult
dose is correct.

but no worthwhile evidence Is
yet available indicating that the
bootlegging trade Is corrupting
clerks either in the government
or large aluminum concerns.
The business can be worked
without that extra cost. In a
composite case, based on reports
so far, the trade has been de
veloped In the following circum
stances: Small metal dealers pur
chased much aluminum, iron
and steel, or copper scrap, ex
pecting a price rise. None de
veloped. Maximum prices were
fixed. Consequently the only
chance of much profit today lies
outside the official market.
Miniature smelters have been
put in operation, home-made In
many instances, permitting any
cne who knows the business to
produce secondary aluminum,
without much difficulty, from
old pots, pans, auto parts. Some
legitimate business Is being done
along these lines.
Anyone who has thus obtain
ed the raw material does not
ordinarily need to employ
clerks to tell him where to sell
it. Tradesmen know that com
pany X makes aluminum toys
or cameras, and also that every
one In that business needs alum
inum. No aluminum now is le
gitimately going to any com
pany except for the manufac
ture of defence or essential civ
il.an materials (surgical Instru
merits).
It is a simple process to draw
the harried small manufacturer
to an unlisted office. The cus
tomary charge Is double the
fixed price. To make It sound
legal, only the fixed price is
charged, occasionally with an
understanding that the manu
facturer will also buy. say. 200
barrels of wastrpaper at ti a
barrel to furnish the profit of
the bootlegger.

that we do not know how qui
nine aids the body's defenses
against pneumonia, flu and the
other respiratory infections. But
physicians the world over pre
scribe this prophylactic use of
quinine in time of cri epidemic
and people everywhere find It
effective. In test recenUy re
ported 6,300 employees of
large industrial plant each took
a five-grain tablet of quinine
sulfate each morning and 6,900
other employees each took a
similar tablet containing only
sodium bicarbonate each morn
ing, for a period of two weeks,
during an influenza epidemic.
Only one-fourth as many of the
employes who took quinine de
veloped the flu as employees
who took sodium bicarbonate.
Within the past two years a
rational scientific explanation
of the prophylactic and rem
edial action of quinine against
the flu has been advanced. We'll
talk about it another day.

thetical case. The Illicit smelter
did not report his stocks to
OPM. Secondly, he charged
more than the maximum price
Strangely, only the first could
entail a Jail sentence. Failure
to report stocks violates an
OPM order backed by a federal
statute. The actual bootlegger
behind the desk would probably
escape because he only violated
a price regulation by the Hen
derson OPACS division, not yet
backed by penalty statutes. The
purchaser Is deemed here to be
equally guilty, which makes it
difficult to obtain evidence for
a clear-cut case.
These same considerations ap
ply to copper, but as no priori
ties have yet been established
for iron and steel scrap, only
the price violation would apply
to dealers In that line.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 27.
For the present the navy Is
making no statement, but the
federal government Is planning
an immense industry to manu
facture flying boats on Puget
sound, within the confines of
Seattle. The plant will be oper
ated, under an agreement, by
the Boeing Aircraft company,
now In constructing the flying
fortress type of bomber,
e e e
PROPERTY for the site has
already been subject of negotia
tion, with almost no publicity.
The location is on the shore of
Puget sound, where the flying
boats can take off on their trial
trips. It is said that the govern
ment will spend millions of dol
lars In the preparation of the
plant and will obtain AA pri
ority on all things connected
with it. AA priority is the
highest rate and means emerg
ency and aircraft production is
practically the only activity
which can command the double
A. This AA priority will ex
tend to the materials necessary
for the seaplanes, from alum
inum and engines down to the
gyroscopes and secret bomb
sights (the latter now in pro
duction in California).
a e
FOR reasons best known to
the army and navy all their con
tracts for airplanes are given
to existing companies. It is a
closed corporation, a monopoly,
and no new concern has a ghost
of a chance to build a fighting
plane for the army or a seaplane
for the navy. The brass hats
and the admirals contend that
they do not wish to experiment
with a company that has not a
background of performance, re
gardless of whether it is a new
company staffed with experi
enced key men who have been
designing and building many of
the present airships.
But for this policy of the navy
the new plant financed by the
government could Just as well
be placed in Everett, Belling
ham, Astoria or on the Columbia
or the Willamette rivers.
e e e
AT this proposed plant will
be constructed the patrol fliers
to be based at Whidbey island
and at Tongue Point. (There
will be 72 such flying boats at
Tongue Point alone.) Other
craft will be built for the navy
rto be used on the airplane car
riers which are now on contract
at Pacific coast yards. The new
aircraft Industry will be staffed
by Boeing with experienced
superintendents now working
on the army orders while thous
ands of new mechanics will be
trained and "broken In" as they
are attracted to Seattle. These
new comers will add to the
housing problem.
e e a
THE Pacific Northwest Light
& Power association, an or
ganization of all the private
utility companies In Oregon.
Washington and British Colum
bia, at a meeting last week out
lined a program for national de
fense. The new president. Sam
McFadden of the Puget Sound
Light & Power Co.. Seattle
drafted the defense plan, which
was unanimously adopted. The
first item Is a proposal that all
of the power of the private
utilities, from British Columbia
to southern Oregon, be pooled,
a sort of grid which will main
tain power wherever it Is re
quired, similar to the power
pools recently arranged by OPM
on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts.
ANOTHER Item is the supply
ing of this and that from one
company to another. For ex
ample. Portland General Elec
tric may have a surplus of some
article that is needed by Wash
ington Water Power Co of Spo
kane, and the Spokane company
may have some extra equipment
needed by the power company
In British Columbia or the Call-
: fornla Oregon Power Co., or the
Mountain States. This, in a
1 measure, will enable the com
panies to obtain materials with
out the difficulties of a priority
license.
aaa
THIRD on the agenda Is the
servicing of engines for crash
boats used by the navy These
I crash boats are a new device
i with a special engine. They
I are filled -ith sailors or mar
ines and run ashore with land
ing pjrties. run up on the beach
, the men leap out and the boats
return to the warship for an
other group of fighting men. It
t is proposed that these engines
' be serviced by the Puget Sound
Light & Power Co. (engines
made in California) as the com
pany use the sama type of en
gine in Its bus service. The
power pool and the exchange of
needed materials, however, are
intended to be general.
a e e
WAR department (army air
corps) is not satisfied with Mc
Chord field, the great develop
ment of the flying force near
Tacoma. and is contemplating
the distribution of units now
stationed there. Principal com
plaint against McChord field Is
the too frequent fog conditions
prevailing, which hamper the
pilots- It is suggested that some
of the units be moved to Columbia-Portland
field, to Spokane,
and to an undesignated location
somewhere in Oregon, possibly
Bend or Klamath Falls. One
story has It that Salem may be
selected; another that Eugene
may be given an air base, and
the field at Everett be strength
ened from McChord. To date
there appears nothing to confirm
any of these rumors as to where
the readjustments of the Inter
ceptors and medium bombers
will be made, but something is
in the wind.
