Does Russia Tell the Truth?
WE are in receipt of a very indignant protest
against a recent claim in this column that Rus
sian war reports are the least trustworthy, and British
war reports the most
"On the contrary," declares our enraged communi
cant "not only are Russian war reports the most reli
able, but for a decade Russia is the only world power
that has dared to tell the truth. The fact is, a nation
consecrated to the welfare of the masses and that
only, has no need to tell lies."

It was a very clever sketch, and as true to life now
as it was then, for LITERAL truth telling, has not
been conspicuous in "mixed society", since the
Garden of Lden.

dry press agents, had been subjected to the same
sartorial compulsion, we fear the Soviet dictator and
his entourage would have

certainly there would have been less underwear in
the Kremlin, than adorns the charter members of that
famous California nudist camp, which is none at all.
For proof of this statement, we respectfully refer
to any public library which has on its shelves the
works of Messrs. Eugene Lyons, Louis Fischer, Jean
Valtin or scores of others, prevarication known as
party propaganda, always has been and still is, a
most IMPORTANT part of both Fascist and Com
munistic strategy.
AS to authenticity of war reports, however, we
grant it is a pretty close race between Moscow
and Berlin, one forging ahead and then the other.
But this much is true,
Russian critic will concede
Not once, since the first
festo by Stalin, has the official Russian press bureau,
admitted a serious defeat, acknowledged severe
losses of any sort, or even granted the destructive
power of the Nazi offensive, or the fighting ability
of the German troops.
Day after day only Russian successes have been
mentioned, the terrific losses inflicted on the Ger
mans, the increasing weariness and demoralization
of Hitler's forces.
Yet during this SAME
Stalin manifesto even Russia DOES admit the loss
of territory, greater in extent, than the combined area
of Norway, Sweden and Finland.
MOW we submit that just DOESN'T make sense,
the story told by the official Soviet war reports,
CAN'T be true, in the face of what the same authority
ADMITS.
In modern warfare, particularly between two ex
tremely powerful nations
equally well equipped, thousands of square miles
CAN'T be overrun by one side, without being the
result of substantial victories; nor lost by the other
side without just as substantial defeats.
We admit that if the roles were reversed, Hitler
might veer as far, perhaps

There has been practically no such talk during
this conflict Perhaps, following the pattern of sur
prise, the unexpected always happening, World
War No. II will prove to be the war that DID end
all war.
This much is certain.
When the world powers become convinced that
war does not, and in the modern world, CAN NOT
pay, war, except in the nature of minor local disturb
ances, will cease.
The sole reason the present war ever started was
the conviction, principally in Nazi Germany, that
another war WOULD pay, all Germany needed to
do was to prepare secretly enough, and strike boldly
enough. W ith a seven-year advantage, the democra
cies would either be bluffed out, or crushed.
But now, unless all signs fail, the complete fallacy
of that assumption is about to be demonstrated.
If experience IS the best teacher, why might not
such an outcome convince all nations that war is as out
of date as the stage coach. and should, as a matter of
UNIVERSAL self-interest, be scrapped?
At least, as the situation now stands, there is some
basis for the hope.

NERVE AND BRAIN C
Neurotics, persons who attrib
ute their health or behavior de
ficiencies to "bad nerves" or
"nervous ex-
haustlon", be

the other class.
Class A neuro
tics who are

turbance or di
sease ot some
organ other
than brain
spinal cord or
nerves, and
either too stin
gy or too Ignorant (in the Wise
acre way) to procure competent
medical attention and find out
what really ails them; or Class
B neurotics who use "nerves" as
an alibi or means of escape from
all the responsibilities, trials
and cares of an honest life.
Mind, now, I am not calling
you one or the other. If you
are a neurotic you choose your
own Class.
In the preceding talk about
"nerves" I gave a fairly repre
sentative statement of the pres
ent medical view of "neurasthe
nia" which Is vague at best
and suggested to Class A neuro
tics two common conditions
which may cause "abnormal
fatigability and exaggerated ir
ritability the symptoms so
frequently labelled "neurasthe
nia". These conditions are
anoxia, oxygen shortage in the
tissues or cells, and avitaminosis,
shortage of the vitamins essen
tial for maintaining an adequate
fund of reserve power to tide
over emergencies and strains.
Bellows, of course, means
belly. Belly breathing improves
circulation. The essential pur
pose of circulation is to supply a
constant stream of oxygen to
the functioning tissue and organ
cells, and to carry away the car
bon dioxide given off by the
cells as a by-product of then
functioning. Interrupt this
stream of oxygen for a second
or two and some of the cells,
particularly brain cells and
nerve cells may die. Reduce the
oxygen supply and the cells are
unable to function well. This
accounts for the poor memory

odd thinking or behavior of
many an Invalid. Crowd out

He dashed out, obviously wor

it had occurred to him that a

He didn't want to prejudice

The only difference is that in

The idea is exactly the same

AT this beginning of the sec

worst of the hot season is over

But you still go around with
a film of perspiration on your
person. In the morning you put
on a freshly pressed suit, and
for a few minutes you fancy
yourself as a mirror of fashion.
But not for long. In this steamy,
humid air your clothes begin to
sag almost as soon as you put
them on and by the time you
get to your hearing or your ap
pointment or wherever it is you'
are headed for you look as if
you'd been sleeping in your
clothes for a week.
Your hands are moist perpet
ually, and you're constantly
wanting to wash them. Your
brow is moist and you're con

degrees under the day. The
thought of even a sheet over
you is more than you can bear.

ugly ducklings now being con

the best naval traditions. Some
of these boats of the other war
were armed, although inade

armament. President Roosevelt

that he will change his mind as
the war progresses.

helpless when attacked by a
submarine and the puny gun
mounted on the stern was gen
erally Ineffective, but he served
it as best he could. After the

TALK here is that the public
market building on Front ave
nue, Portland, may be acquired
by the Oregonian and the pio
neer paper moved to that loca
tion from its old-time site at
Sixth avenue and Alder. The
market has been in controversy
for several years, almost since
it was built. It was the first
loan that RFC made in Oregon,
and RFC contends that the city
of Portland should pay back the
money. The city thinks other
wise. The Oregonian wishes a
new home. Loading circulation
trucks on Alder and rolls of
newsprint on Sixth avenue is
becoming more difficult. If a
plan can be worked out, the
paper will take the market
building, move there and dis
pose 'of the old brick building
(tower and all) in some manner.
Manager of the market building
is now in the national capital
talking to Reconstruction Fi
