of the Astoria
Astorian-Budget as
GUEST COLUMNIST
It's nleasure. we assure you,
to again bring the readers of
this newspaper greetings to
night from John Jacob Astor's
old town In the green land of
the Lower Columbia. This weeK
Astoria is putting her best for
ward. The Regatta show is on
again and from far and near the
visitors are coming for the fun
and the fishing. We know, of
course, that fun and fishing are
things they have in Medford,
too. In fact, we would say right
her that next to Astoria, there
probably isn't a place in the
whole world where nature
smiles and every prospect
pleases as it does in the Med
ford country.
We speak here as an author
ity, by virtue of living in As
toria and having sojourned most
enjoyably in the home town of
our very old friend, Ernie Gil-
strap, manager of the Mall Trl
buna.
We assume. Mr. Perry, that
you don't mind In the last our!
plugging Astoria in your col
umn. As a matter of fact, we
hardly know what else to do.
Here at home, we go on and on
at length sometimes, telling
what we think about this and
that, and It's okeh. People know
us and Just take it In stride.
But you can see how awk
ward It would be to carry on
for you as we do at home. Med
ford people Just wouldn't un
derstand what a great part pre
judice can play in anyone's
thinking. Actually we dispense
with thinking entirely every
now and then and go ahead on
straight prejudice. It Isn't so
tiring. And as a result of this
system, for instance, we can cru
sade around all we want to
against the Nudeal and then
when the boys have a social
gathering we can barge In with
out a hand being raised effect
ively against us. Should we try
anything like this here though
Arthur,
the finger
However,
we should like to say a few
words here about tonight. It's
the weather. The last time w
appeared in the guise of a guest
columnist for you, we were In
troduced as the rain soaked
philosopher or something of
Astoria. We feci no personal
resent about this business, you
understand, for we've been call
ed many names, of which this
is by no means the worst prob
ably. But the old civic pride
is nevertheless stirred somewhit
by this kind of weather reporting.
It does rain In Astoria, cop
iously, no doubt about It. At in
tervals during the year, the
great wind comes from the sea
bringing with it an amazing j
downpour. ut late years, lor
some reason, there haven't been
so many of these great ocean
storms and the old Oregon sea
has warmed up considerably
10 degrees over what it was a
decade ago before the tuna fish
came.
It's the result of shifting
ocean currents since the last big
quake off the California coast,
some sav. Another theory ad
vanced for less rain and milder
climatic conditions is the de
nuding of the timber crowned
hills of the coast range while
there are some that believe that
Mr. Ickes and his Nudeal crew
planned it that way.
We wouldn't know about all
this but contrary to Inland opin
ion, the record book says that
Astoria has more days of sun
shin than many Northwest
cities. Including Medford. By
Another War Surprise
ANOTHER surprise in this surprising war, has been
broueht into sham relief by the Russians.
At the start of the war. and for several years before
it, European military experts led by England, were
practically unanimous in condemning the offensive as
the approved technique.
That had been the Foch principle In World war
No. 1, the best defense is a vigorous offense.
BUT as the true story of the battles of the first
Wni-M war urn pnmnilpfl thp rnlnRSfll losses
IT Uiiu .. - - -
ommited. this theory was abandoned, on the ground
that in anv modern war on a large scale, an offensive
against prepared positions, cost more than it was
worth and if persisted in for any length of time, would
bleed any nation white.
On the soundness of this tneory, in iact tne iamous
Maginot and Siegfried lines were built.
- If the static trench warfare of World war No. 1,
had been repeated in No. 2, no doubt, the validity of
this principle would have been sustained.
t-. . . . t . i . . .v ti:ai ; i
nut wiin me miroaucuon oi we m-ru-ieg, ami
mechanized warfare on a comprehensive scale, the
war of position was transformed almost overnight in-
to a war oi movement, irencn wanare pracucany uis
appeared and the Foch theory was re-established,
stronger than ever.
Not until Hitler attacked Kussia, however, was tne
theory applied, the chief reason being that, not until
the war had been raging for nearly two years, was
any military opposition to Germany strong enough to
apply it.
Russia was strong enough, having both man
power and mechanized equipment in as great, if not
greater, profusion than the Nazis.
A ND that explains of course why Hitler has been
" unable to wage a Blitzkrieg, and why the Ger
man advance has been so terribly slow. The Russian
High Command has not repeated the tragic error of
France, digging in, or trying to hold fortified lines,
entirely on the defense. Kussia has let the Blitzkrieg
come through, then has closed around it, and staged
a counter-offensive of its own.

AS a result while the net score to date has been a
V German advance, it has been scarcely appreci
able at times, and at terrific cost due to the fact, that
the Red army has been constantly checkmating the
Nazi offensive with a vigorous offensive of its own.
Whether this cost will prove to be more than Nazi
Germany can pay remains to be seen. But there is
no doubt Russia has not only demonstrated the fal
lacy of the "invincible theory," concerning the Nazi
war machine, but has adopted the tactic that can
eventually checkmate, if not entirely invalidate, the
Blitzkrieg technique.
Peace With Japan?
JAPAN doesn't want war with the United States.
The United States doesn't want war with Japan,
not until Germany is beaten at least.
Where two world powers, don't want war, some
way to prevent war can usually be reached.
So the chances are this personal message from Pre
mier Prince Konoye of Japan to President Roosevelt,
will result in a betterment of relations between the
two countries, and probably a temporary peace.

BUT there is no point in kidding ourselves. It WILL
That is unless Japan is willing not only to commit
the unpardonable sin of the Orient, "lose face," but
abandon all dreams of hegemony in the Far East
And that doesn't, at the present writing seem to
be in the realm of possibility.
Unless our view of Japanese psychology and char
acter is completely mistaken, at least, Japan, under
its present government or any other, will fight before
it will submit to any national humiliation of that sort.

fate that Japan will not accept, without a fight, as
suming our theory is correct
CO, while a certain appeasement toward Japan may
be desireable rather than risk war on two fronts,
there should, as we see it, be no disposition in
Washington to cease preparations for war with Japan,
even though a peace pact of some sort may be agreed
upon, at the present conference.
For barring the prompt defeat of Germany, and
the formation of some League of Nations, with "teeth
in it," war between the United States and Japan is
as ' irrepressible, sometime in THIS century, as a
war between the states was, in the LAST.
all chronic dis
eases would be
very much pro
moted by di
recting our in
quiries into the
state of the
teeth of sick
people and by
advising their
e x t ractlon in
which they are
decayed. It is
not necessary
tnat they
should be attended with pain
in order to produce disease. .
This physician, Dr. Benjamin
Rush, after whom Rush Medical
college (Chicago) was named, de
scribed caes in which extrac-
traction of decayed teeth had
apparently brought about com
plete cure of chronic "rheuma
tism" after the trouble had
failed to respond to any of the
remedies or method of treat
ment then employed.
"Morbid effects of acrid and
putrid matters whlrh are some
times discharged from carious
teeth," as Rush described what
we regard as the manifestations
of local infection, might occur
even though there were no toothache.
Today we know that manifes
tations of focal infection, such
as chronic arthritis or "rheuma
tism" if you prefer, occur in i
great many instances without
the patient being aware of any
pain or trouble in tooth or ton
sil or wherever the underlying
septic focus or infection may be.
The frequehcy of such "silent"
focal infection, say a "blind'
(painless) abscess about the root
of a tooth, or apical infection or
root canal infection, or a midus
or area of infection in one ton
sil, accounts for the practice of
indiscriminate removal of teeth
or tonsils in cases of chronic
arthritis or persistent neuritis
Just on the off chance that the
source of the "acrid and putrid
matters may be thus eradicated
Sometimea it Is eradicated, and
everybody is happy about it
But more times the fishing ex
cursion proves luckless, and then
everybody Is unhappy about it.
X-ray films of tha teeth com
monly give evidence of infec
tion about the roots even though
the patient has had no tooth
ache or other indication of any
thing wrong. Particularly so in
cases of root canal fillings
crowns or caps or bridges at
tached to the teeth. However,
the X-ray film is by no means
decisive and in any case should
be considered only as confirm
ing the opinion of the physicians
and dentist as to the advisability
of extraction of a tooth or teeth.
Neither the dentist nor the phy
sician is Justified in advising
the sacrifice of a tooth, much
less many teeth or all the teeth
the patient has left, merely on
X-ray evidence alone. Loss of
a tooth that is still functionally
useful is a serious matter. Loss
of several or all of the teeth im
poses upon any one a handicap
in maintaining good nutrition.
Therefore the extraction of one
or more teeth should be decided
upon only after consultation be
tween physician and dentist.
Only through such ronsultation
can X-ray films of the teeth be
interpreted in the best interest
of the patient. A physician or
dentist who would be arbitrary
about this and insist upon sacri
E muchado about gasoline
on the eastern seaboard is
apt to slow down now to a more
realistic line nearer the needs
of motorists. A shortage of some
important proportions is likely
to develop in 30 to 60 da"5
unless something is done to
bring more gas east. But with
a fairly strong senate commit
tee now Investigating the facts,
it seems certain something will
be done. Railroads have told
the American Automobile Asso
ciation here, for instance, that
hey could handle 250,000 gal
lons more a day and the price
has already been increased suf
ficiently perhaps to care for the
higher transportation cost.
If any part of the pother
was started to promote the
building of a new pipeline (over
railroad opposition) that part
can stop now. The pipeline was
finally authorized a few days
back. Dealers are satisfied with
the night closing which excludes
a period of slim sales and fat
operating cost. Of course the
large companies (freed now ap
parently from anti-trust ob
stacles) have not yet obtained
control of the independents,
but they can also afford to be
calmer for a while.
