MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1941. PAGE SEVEN the streets." And he declared: "Hitler cannot be defeated with armiei of starving chil dren." When you put it that way, it's pretty hard to deny him his re quest. However, there are two viewpoints about shipping food into Europe, and the British government has taken the stand that any supplies would in ef fect be aid for Hitler. It isn't a nice subject to debate, for everybody would feed the chil dren if possible, but here again it is necessary to consider the case in its relation to the out come of the war.

Attitude Toward Finland, And Europe's Starving Young? Br Dewitt MacKensle, Associated Press Analyst. The refusal of little Finland to heed America's warning that she stop fighting mighty Russia raises the issue of whether our efforts to aid the allies shall be governed by our hearts or by our heads. We have a similar problem, from the standpoint of hearts versus heads, in former Presi dent Hoover's renewed 'appeal that we feed Europe's starving children. Each circumstance must be Judged in its relation to the whole vast picture of this horri ble war. We must consider what effect the Individual tragedy will have on the outcome of a conflict which is in process of moulding the future of human ity for a hundred and one years. Finn Heroism Hailed By U. S. Take the case of the Finns. Mr. Hoover also intervened on their behalf and in a protest against the attitude of the Unit ed States government he said: "Only two years ago this peaceful little nation was out rageously attacked by commun ist Russia. Our whole country heralded Finland's resistance as the most heroic stand of democ racy since Thermopylae." Well, there's no question that the heart of America was with the tiny David of the north in the conflict with Goliath. Maybe America's heart is with them still, but we have a new set of circumstances to consider. Now if Finland were down on the central Russo-German front, it wouldn't matter so much. But the Finns are shooting at Rus sia's vitals. Their efforts endan ger the safety of Leningrad, one of Soviet's greatest industrial centers, and gateway to the Baltic. If Leningrad falls, the reds will be cut off from the Baltic, and their navy will be rendered impotent. Moreover, Leningrad is the anchor of the right wing of the Russian battle-line, and its loss would mean a turning of the flank. Then, too, the Finnish action threatens to close the Arctic ports of Murmansk and Archangel, through which Amer ican and British aid for Russia is moving, thereby cutting the reds off from the Atlantic alto gether. Allied Cause Is Dangered So the problem ceases to be one relating solely to Finland's welfare. The whole allied cause is endangered and what are you going to do about that? The question of feeding hun gry children is more difficult. Mr. Hoover recently stated that a survey of Belgium showed "the shortage of meats, fats and milk is crucifying the children," and the situation in Warsaw was so bad that "the municipal news paper was appealing to the people not to throw corpses Into President in Armistice Observance By Dean Collins Xn Oregon Journal (Back in 1939. when Ous Newbury, of Mediord wrote me about the death of nla little dog.

(JP) Maurice Zuckerman, SO, wealthy Los Angeles and Stockton com mission merchant, was accused today of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to commit murder. The charge was an aftermath of tfie Armistice day shooting of a Stockton Amer ican Legion leader in a cocktail bar. Justice of the Peace George F. Buck set bail at $30,000 cash or $100,000 bond, and se lected November 24 for a pre liminary hearing. Victim in the shooting was Otto Dander, 40, past command er of the Stockton Legion Post, and leader of the Armistice day parade. Surgeons gave him an even chance to recover from a pistol bullet wound in the ab domen. The shooting occurred in a bar where Dander had gone with his wife, brother and sister-in-law to celebrate. Dander's wife signed the complaint against Zuckerman. About 30 per cent of the na tion's sugar requirements are produced in continental United States.

LAWGIVERS TALK COOL OFF PERI TO CURBSTRIKES (Continued Prom Page One) The mediation proceedings are currently stalled because sev eral CIO board members resign ed in protest to the board's rec ommendation that the CIO United Mine Workers sign a contract, to work the steel com panies captive coal mines, with out requiring a union shop.

S. conciliation director, to urge the union in volved the Federation of Long Distance Telephone Workers to postpone action for a week.
