Doesn 't Look Good
If latest wire reports from Washington are cor
rect Soviet Russia will not join England in declaring
war on Japan.
Certainly Japan will not declare war on Russia,
for only from the Siberian coast could any really ef
fective air attack on Nippon be made.
1JTE may be unduly suspicious, but we don't like the
look of this Russo-Jap appeasement, don't
like it a little bit
For without Russian air bases and cooperation,
England and the United States will be in a tough
spot in the Far East.
Those who doubt this have but to examine the
war map published in today's paper, showing the
exact set-up in the Pacific.
Assuming the United States successfully defends
the Philippines and all its other Pacific possessions,
there still would be no satisfactory U. S. bases for
bombing Japan effectively without Russian assist
ance, the distances are too great.
This would also be the case with British Singa
pore. Hong Hong would be a help, but with Japan
in control of the China sea and air it is doubtful any
allied air base could be effectively maintained there,
for any length of time, if at all.
IN other words as the map shows, Russia HOLDS
THE KEY TO EFFECTIVE ALLIED ATTACK
AGAINST JAPAN, BY LAND, AIR AND SEA.
If Singapore should fall, it takes no board of
military and naval experts to perceive the Japanese
nut would be extremely difficult to crack.
Russia's explanation is she can't afford to fight
a war on two fronts. Stalin wants to clean up on
Hitler first and then join with his English speaking
combatants against the Yellow race.
But what will Japan be doing in the meantime,
free from any effective allied sea or air attack?
True, Moscow claims extensive victories on the
Russian western front, but can anyone imagine the
Muscovite bear actually knocking out the Nazis be

to say the least. '
And if these reports from the Soviet capitol ARE
correct, Stalin will not make a move against Japan

They are NOT in the same boat, until they all

A Relief From War Strain
A refreshing diversion from the excitement of
the past few days is provided in the Christmas pro
gram arranged by the Medtord Musical society at
the High school auditorium tomorrow evening. We
can think of no better means of giving strained nerves
a brief let-down from the worries of war and the con
fusion of black-outs and
nleasant evenine of Christmas music, arranged and
presented by the chorus of the Southern Oregon Col
lege of Education.
'0 many people here this program will afford their
first opportunity of seeing and hearing this tal
ented musical group. In
appearance of the chorus, the local musical society
is further extending a long standing project of en
couraging musical education in the public schools.
Those who enter the teaching profession after taking
full advantage of comprehensive musical instruction
in state normal schools are better fitted to foster the
appreciation of good music in the youngsters in pub
lic schools.
THE Christmas program tomorrow evening will
show the results of a great deal of time and ef
fort on the part of these young college people and
they deserve and need the encouragement and in
spiration that a generous attendance will provide.
No admission will be charged for this musical
treat So, if you enjoy good music or feel the need
of an antidote for over-wrought nerves, attend the
Christmas musical at the High school Monday eve

Three cheers for "Ol Doc

I certainly wouldn't call any

seems to me that a real doctor
would be so busy helping people
that he wouldn't have time to
waste on such a stupid thing as
dignity. I certainly wouldn't
want him looking me over. I'd
be afraid his dignity would in
terfere with his diagnosis.
Of course "Doctor" is all right
for those wealthy women whose
main trouble is boredom. In at
tending them the doctor prob
ably needs dignity for his con
science to hide behind, observes
Jane, but for the doctor who

superfluous. The world will beat
a path to his ooor as soon us m

fectlve for other newspapers: Its
editorial page. Surveys by the
continuing study of newspaper
reading rank the Oregonian's
lead editorial with its best-read
features. Its editorial page was
the only section of the Oregonian
to escape the streamlining ap
plied by Paper Doctor Guy T.
Viskniskkl in 1934.
One of the best written edi
torial pages on the Pacific coast,
it is authored by three closely
geared Individualists, with a
neat division of talents. They
write in a tradition founded by
such rugged Journalists as the
Oregonian's famed Harvey W.
Scott, an erudite, walrus-faced
editor who prowled the office in
stocking feet for 40 years, and
by Albert Hawkins, ex-cabin boy
and coal-heaver, who liked best
to write about education, science
and Pacific northwest history.
Publisher Hoyt entirely separ
ated the news departments and
editorial page, setting the Ore
gonlan's editorialists entirely
apart. The Oregonian now has
no editor-in-chief, and Managing
Editor Robert N Olson never
crosses the editorialists' path.
Its three editorialists are:
Philip Hammon Parrish, "edi
tor of the editorial page," who
is the youngest of the three (43).
Sawed-off, gaunt-faced, paunchy,
bushy-haired Editor Parrish
writes about international and
U. S. politics, relaxes at home
by talking the same subjects
with his shoes off. Author of
two books on northwest history,
he Is the only one of the three
who went to college (but he has
no diploma of any sort: he never
graduated from high school).

Callvert 'in 1938 was about to be
fired because he was too expen
sive. The idea was dropped
when he won the Pulitzer prize
for best editorial of the year.
Ben Hur Lampman, 53, is the
Oregonian's beer-barrel poet and
"genius." whom Editor Parrish
calls "the country's greatest edi
torial writer on nature and
whimsey." His editorials are
much reprinted, from coast to
coast. He wears flowing black
ties (one made from one of his
wife's old black silk stockings)
and is a tireless fisherman. A
favorite fishing companion is his
Japanese dentist, brother of a
Tokyo mayor, a Jujitsu artist
and fabulous drinker, who while
fishing with Ben Hur emptied a
pint of whiskey at one gulp,
tossed the bottle into the air and
shattered it with his target
pistol. Readers quickly recog
nize Editor Lampman's nature
whimseys, but they are some
times fooled by his serious
pieces. Book Critic Harry Han
sen called a Lampman editorial
on the war the best short story
of the year. He handled the
Oregonian's whole campaign
against the Roosevelt court-packing
plan. Herbert Hoover tried
to hirs him to write speeches in
the 1932 campaign, but Magni

preferred to work at a Job where

McNary For Ban
On Non-War Funds
3 By John W. g.iiy
Washington, D. C, Dec. 13.
Here is how the northwest is
scheduled to play a part' In de
fense by supplying munitions to
Russia and China, some to Singa
pore, Australia and New Zea
land. For the time being there
will be no official announce
ment, but the program will be
revealed piecemeal.
Porta of Columbia river an4
Puget sound will be used aa
shipping points; Portland for
Siberia, Puget sound for the Far
East. Notwithstanding White
House statement recently, these
American merchant ships will
be armed to the teeth. There
will be anti-aircraft guns on the
bridge, a gun on the stern and
a crew of 10 to 12 navy trained
gunners on every ship, on watch
the clock around. Personally,
the ship owners would ' rather
their ships were unarmed, but
congress has seen fit to send
them to sea with armament.
These freighters will go In
convoy. They will be accom
panied by a water and air pat
rol; warships and fighting sea
planes, the latter operating from
converted merchant vessels
transformed into airplane car
riers. Ships from Vladivostok
will be navigating through the
fog, ice and snow which will
prevail there for the next six
months and it will be a risky
task wholly aside from the Jap
anese menace. It will be bad
flying weather for the seaplane
scouts.
FROM the time the freighters
headed for India (Burma) or
Singapore or Australia leave
port they will be under the
watchful eye of American war
ships. This patrol has been es
corting the freighters for months
already. In addition to cruisers
and destroyers there will be
C.e make-shift carriers for sea
planes. These guards for the
merchant ships have been pick
ing up their charges beyond
Honolulu.
For both Siberia and Burma
the freighters will carry light
tanks weighing 13 tons. Thous
ands of tanks have already been
delivered to China via the Bur
ma road, now patrolled by
American army fliers drawing
American army pay but wearing
the uniform of the Chinese
army. (Ground crews ditto).
Approximately 24,000 tanks will
go to China, merchant ships
carrying about 200 medium
tanks on each trip.
Returning, the freighters will
go to Batavia, if that port Is
still open, snd pick up cargoes
of rubber, tin and chrome for
the United States. The Feder
ated Malay States want some of
that lend-lease money and last
week increased the export duty
on tin to six per cent ad valorem
and upped the duty on rubber
to 7.5 per cent. Because of war
with Japan it is possible tHe
ships will circumnavigate the
globe and make port on the At
lantic coast.

tiscatlon or elimination. Prob
ably $130,000,000,000 is to be
spent by the government if the
war lasts long enough, and all
this will go into business. Cer
tainly this economic expansion
will partly offset the increased
taxes. Although profits are not
likelv to increase much, they
cannot decline aa much as the
sagging stock market has been
suggesting.
Dozens of stocks were selling
at prices this week to bring 20
per cent annual return to stock
holders In dividends. All busi
ness earnings, after taxes, this
year are supposed to be 25 per

dends will average 10 per cent

Naturally the large Investors,
unperturbed by the sinking of a

are hanging on to what they
have.
pHE only threats to our ulti-
mate financial stability are
those which have been widely
advertised inflation, the big
federal war debts, the vague
possibilities of state socialism.
If inflation comes, cash is the
worst thing to hold. The econo
mists say common stocks are as
good as anything. If we win
this war, as we will, the new
world economic possibilities
opened by victory will certainly
provide unprecedented where
withal to service an unprece
dented debt. As for state
socialism: this government. It is
true, has made a few feints in
that direction in a few past spe
cific instances (public utilities)
but it has renounced the idea
as a general policy. We are
fighting for democratic liberty
and against national socialism of
Germany and Italy. Socialism
might well be expected if we
lose this war, NOT if we win.
All these dreadful economic
spectres of the past and present
will be laid like ghosts if we
Just achieve one thing victory.
That is all we have to worry
about.
