A Referendum on War?
' This department has always questioned the wis
dom of a referendum on war.
Not because in a democracy, the theory isn't en
tirely sound. But because in practice the proposal,
we fear, just wouldn't work out.
There would be too great a risk of delay, when
delay might mean unnecessary loss of human life
and perhaps defeat.
Time is the essence in modem war. And by the
very nature cf things no government can, in advance,
tell the people ALL the facts that might at anyigiven
time render war probable.
In other words, a country, prevented by its con
stitution from declaring war without a favorable
referendum by the people, would be at a tremendous
disadvantage in this war against totalitarianism.
In war, democracy has enough inherent handi
caps without adding any unnecessary ones.
DUT we WOULD favor a war referendum at the
present time. Because none of the objections,
above noted, are valid.
As this column has been insisting for nearly a
year, the country is at war NOW, regardless of how
many people in Washington, or out of it, refuse to
believe it.
But if the people of this country as a whole do
not favor war, and if the country is in, then want
the country to get out, the sooner the government
learns of this, the better for all concerned.
For we live in a democracy where the people rule.
And nothing could be more fatal in a democracy,
than to engage in a war which hasn't popular sup
port. Such a course, as we see it, if persisted in, could
only lead to one of two outcomes, both tragic v
Either the end of democratic government in the
United States, or military defeat.
CO under the circumstances which today exist, we
favor a national referendum on a war declaration
against the totalitarian powers, and wish the congress
would call for one.
There is, in our judgment, no doubt of the result.
Not that any sane American WANTS war.
But we are convinced the American people, AS
A WHOLE, approve of President Roosevelt's foreiem
policy, endorse the measures already taken to defeat
Hitler, and if in the opinion of their government, a
war declaration would help in that direction, they
would gladly, by their votes, -sanction it.
The question would have to be properly phrased,
of course, but that could easily be accomplished. The
time expended would not delay the present war
effort IN ANY WAY, while the cost, well the cost
wouldn't be more than a fly speck on the current
budget.
1M0RE0VER, as we view it, great good would
come from such a plebiscite, particularly at the
present time. For then all doubt would be dispelled,
as to just where this country is AT.
If there should be a majority vote AGAINST
war, of course this undeclared war would have to
stop.
But we are as certain, as we can be of ANY
THING in this uncertain
would be an overwhelming
an essential part of the program of the President.
And then, just as the minority would acquiesce
in the verdict of the majority, in case of a negative
vote; there would be a similar acquiescence in case
of an affirmative vote.
And there, verily brethern, would be a consum
mation devoutly to be wished !
For the great outstanding need in this country
today is national unity, and a war referendum (and
perhaps only a war referendum) would give it!
It Might Help
A war referendum would have a particularly
salutary effect upon the congress.
That surprisingly large vote against revision of
the neutrality law yesterday, can't be brushed away
on tne ground or partisanship, isolationism, obscur
antism, or even the blind perversity of a "group of
willful men."
No, congressmen are just as anxious to hold
their jobs, as other men on the public payroll, per
haps more so.
And if those 194 members of congress who voted
against revision had not believed that a majority
of their constituents favored such action, or would
favor it by the time the next election comes around,
they would have voted otherwise.
(Oh there may have been some exceptions. There
usually are. But by and large, members of the Lower
House, don't vote their convictions when they know
the people back home don't like them, and as long
as we live in a REPRESENTATIVE democracy they
SHOULDN'T).

HI, THERE. HAG
Alma, as we called her for
publication purposes, who told
us the other day how financial
depress ion
compelled her
to "join one of
the three letter
a s s o ciations"
drew a sad but
true picture of
the tragedy of
the loss of
teeth by ex
tract ion be
cause prompt
repair of cav
ity by the den
tist was be
yond her reach. Alma said "old
age" contributed to her plight,
being now forty-five. We could
smile at that with Alma were it
not for the fact that she has only
seven lower front teeth left and
any day now she must march
stoically to the "chair," as she
puts it, and have one more tooth
removed, this time an upper
front tooth. A woman minus an
upper front tooth looks like a
hag, an old hag, as Alma ob
serves. Gone glimmering the
prospect of many a Job a woman
of pleasing personal appearance
might creditably fill.
I read somewhere the other
day that Uncle Sam is beginning
to do something sensible in re
gard to the disgracefully large
number of young men who have
been deferred on account of de
fective teeth. Uncle proposes to
have .them treated by their den
tists at home, necessary dentures
installed, and then assign them
to military or other service.
When I say "disgracefully
large number" I am not think
ing about the number of young
men who do or do not brush
their teeth regularly. That is
immaterial. I am thinking about
the widespread popular igno
rance of the care of the teeth
in this country. Brush or no
brush, the only way any one
can preserve his teeUi fs by hav
ing regular periodic inspection
and treatment by his dentist.
And in my opinion, the funda
mental soundness, perfection and
beauty of the teeth is deter
mined by the state of nutrition
he mother's nutrition before
the child is born .the infant's nu
trition, the nutrition in child
hood, youth and early adult life.
It is by no means financial de
pression or poverty or lack of
wherewithal to pay that causes
a good many Individuals to limp
along minus teeth. It is sheer
ignorance, ignorance of the vital
importance of maintaining nor
mal mastication and salivary di
gestion.
Like too many others. Alma
seems more concerned about the
loss of a front tooth than she
is about the loss of many back
teeth. As far as the immediate
effect on personal appearance is
concerned perhaps loss of a
front tooth is unfortunate. But
the more remote effect on per
sonal appearance will be much
worse from the loss of one or
more back teeth. That Inevit

ably brings change In facial con
tour and permits premature sag
ging and adds years- to the age
the individual looks.
But these effects on personal
appearance are far less deplor
able than are the effects of loss
of teeth or health. Here, too, loss
of back teeth is much more
harmful because it is during
grinding of the food by the back
by the back teeth that salivary
digestion occurs.

From Washington
Federal Auto Tax
- Call Due Soon
Flight Strip
For Army Only
No Ceiling For
Advertising
Br Joha W. KTslly
Washington, D. C, Nov. 14.
There is a concern in a Chi
cago office building that is
working day and night tabulat
ing, in alphabetical order, the
name and address of every
owner of a motor vehicle in
the United States. These are
broken down by states, and
the owners In Washington and
Oregon can look for their for
mal notification to pay $5 for
the privilege of owning a motor
vehicle in about seven weeks.
For once the treasury is exper
imenting with tax collecting by
private parties and will not
have to employ 2,500 extra
hands to do the tabulating and
indexing in the national capital.
Out of the pockets of own
ers of passenger cars, commer
cial trucks, buses, taxicabs, etc;.
Secretary Morgenthau estimates
that he can make them produce
between $2,873,000 and $3,000,
000 all new. clean tax money.
For the entire nation it is be
lieved there are in excess of
33.000,000 owners of motor ve
hicles and from this source the
treasury should receive $165,
000.000. There are a couple of points
that must be ironed out. One
Is the 5 tax on motor boats.
This is quite important to the
Puget sound and Columbia river
areas and at coast points where
fishermen operate. It is under
stood that the fishermen will
have to pay the $5 tax on their,
motor driven fishing boats the
same as the owner of a pleasure
yacht.
e e
IN Washington state there are
13,756 publicly owned cars in
addition to 670 trailers and
semi-trailers. Of the cars 5,600
belong to some federal agency
and 7,762 are owned by the
state, counties or municipalities.
In Oregon there are 7.750 ve
hicles which are exempt from
paying a state license, and of
those 3.344 are federal trucks
and trailers. From the slick
limousine carting cabinet mem
bers around (thrifty secretary
of the interior peddles eggs to
grocers in his official car) to
the Jalopy used by the forest,
ranger or the fruit inspectors
Uncle Sam has 143,500 cars on I
the deadhead list. They will
probably continue tax exempt, j
The exempt vehicles of the;
state, county and municipality ;
is a stickler. It is assumed that
these cars will be exempt from j
state licenses but not from the
$5 use tax. Collectors of Inter-1
nal revenue will check from '
their index cards and enforce
the law.
e e
THOSE flight strips to be
built along federal aid high
ways in the northwest will be the
first of 300 to 400 scattered
throughout the United States.
The appropriation of $10,000,
000 Is insignificant, but It is
recognized as making a start.
The highway rights-of-way
where these strips are to be
constructed will be expanded to
450 feet, at least, and where
possible from 800 feet to a mile
or more in length'. An estimate
places the cost of the average
strip at $50,000.
Wherever possible short grass
will be used for the runways
instead of paving.
These flight strips will be
limited to military purposes
and. If necessary, the adjoining
highway will be roped off and
no one permitted to enter ex
cept the service trucks with
aviation gasoline. There will be
no financial advantage accruing
to any community to have a
flight strip nearby; free from
this pulling and hauling, tha
army air corps will designate
the sites they regard as of stra
tegic advantage, especially for
cross-country flying. As these
strips are a war development,
the government will negotiate
for the right-of-way and super
vise construction. They will not
cost the state a nickel.
e e
THERE is one thing In the
price fixing bill which the ways
and means committee reported;
the administrator of the act can
not tamper with the advertising
rates of newspapers. Advertis
ing being the life blood of the
press, the committee finally
eliminated proposals to place a
ceiling on this source of rev
enue. This decision Interfered
with a plan by some new deal
ers who wished to prevent ad
vertising by, for example, the
gasoline companies through
compelling all the companies to
pool their resources. Naturally,
if a gas company could not
mention Its product It would
not advertise In the papers. The
committee was not impressed
with this idea.
e
A CIVIL engineer who hsn-1
died much of the original lay
jout for the Bonneville dam has
i been called into service as a
reserve officer and as a captain
has built two large projects for
the air corps. He is wanted now
to build a $23,000,000 air corps
project in the south, but here
is the difficulty: He is only a
captain and therefore can not
have majors working under
I him.
i Three times his superiors
: have recommended him for a
! commission as lieutenant col
jonel, but the adjutant general's
i office refuses to act; thinks that
is too much of a jump; says it
would not be fair to hundreds
of majors, despite the fact that
the captain has a record of
building faster than any other
man in the army. But this fact
does not interest the adjutant
general.
By FRANK JENKINS
ON Monday, Churchill made
this blunt statement in
London.
' Britain will declare war on
Japan within an hour if Japan
goes to war with the United
States."
He added that Britain now
has plenty of naval power avail
able for the job.
ryi Tuesday, U. S. Navy Sec-
retary Knox, speaking at
the dedication of a big new
naval air base in Rhode Island,
said in reference to the Jap
anese situation:
. "Grave questions are about
to be decided the hour of de
cision is here. Further Amer
ican forbearance toward Japan
would be misunderstood."
He meant obviously to make
it plain that the United States
is ready to fight.
fN Wednesday Jap Foreign
Minister Togo discussed the
Churchill and Knox staiements
before the plenary session of the
Japanese privy council.
This writer isn't intimately
familiar with all the ramifica
tions of the Japanese govern
mental system, which has been
changing rapidly, but the dic
tionary defines plenary as "full,
entire, complete, absolute, un
qualified; having full powers."
In other words, Togo talked
to the real works. He probably
talked brass tacks.
e
DUTTING the Churchill and
the Knox statements togeth
er leaves little doubt that Japan
is being told to put up or shut
up. What she will do remains
to be seen.
It must be remembered that
Japan is ruled by a military
clique that lives by war and
might PERISH by peace.
e
PINLAND today (Wednesday)
turns down the American
warning to withdraw from the
war with Russia or lose Amer
ican friendship.
The Finnish note says:' '
"Finland doesn't want to fight
any longer than her vital secur
ity demands, but can't expose
herself to future peril by arti
ficially Interrupting military op
erations before their objective
is wholly realized."
The note adds:
"If Finland had had sufficient
strength during the 1939-40 win
ter war she would have done the
same and surely nobody would
have doubted the Justice of Fin
nish operations."
THAT Is a crack at Britain,
which failed to come to Fin
land's aid in the winter war of
1939-40, and by indirection is a
crack at the United States.
It seems to indicate that Fin
land is too much under the
German thumb to quit fighting
if she wanted to.
pHURCHILL says today:
"We learned through Hess
that Hitler originally counted
more on starvation of the Brit
ish than on invasion.
"Starvation having failed, he
may be forced Into invasion as
soon as he can screw up his
courage and make arrange
ments to take the plunge."
e
AS to starvation prospects, he
" says: "In the four months
ending in October. Britain's
shipping losses DROPPED AL
MOST TWO-THIRDS."
He then tells of carrying the
shipping war into the enemy's
territory. "Britain and her al-
nes. he says, "have sunk or
seriously damaged nearly a mil
lion tons of axis shipping In the
four months ending in October
and destruction of axis shipping
Is proceeding with greater vio
lence than before."
e
LIE then adds: "In 1943, we
snail have sufficient ship
ping to undertake OVERSEAS
operations." !
That sounds like an indirect
answer to those who are clam
oring for a British Invasion of
Europe NOW.

Is John Lewis' Man Honest?
To the editor:
The late Jack Gilmer of the
firm of Salisbury and Gilmer,
who operated many stage lines
in the Rocky mountain states
almost three-quarters of a cen
tury ago, was wont, in hi
squeaky voice, to deliver many
whimsical epigrams, some of
which were probably not orig
inal. As an example, he used to
say: "When thieves fall out,
honest men get a chance to
steal."
Another saying: "Honesty Isi
the best policy. I know I'va
tried 'era both."
His cynical definition of an
honest man was: "One who
stays bought."
Many people are now won
dering whether a public official
who was bought and paid for
a few years ago by John L.
Lewis Is an "honest man."
