"Morale
IN spite of the accepted totalitarian philosophy, this
IS a moral world. And the war will be won by
those forces determined to keep it so.
Not because the decalogue can silence a machine
gun.
But because the genus homo, regardless of the
color of his skin, is a moral animal, and will fight
to the death to sustain his OWN moral world. He
won't fight with the same fanatical desperation to ad
vance the material interests, of a dictatorial govern
ment that happens to be in power.
This is particularly true when the individual re
alizes that that dictatorial government, if victorious,
will destroy his moral world, condemn him to live
in a universe, where such things as right, and justice,
and fair play are unknown, unknown for those who
come after him.
AX7E realize this is a philosophy which is regarded
' as hopelessly naive and out-of-date, by the Fascist-Nazi
propagandists. Yes and by the Kremlin for
that matter.
But it is the strong conviction of this department,
and we believe the outcome of World War No. 2 will
demonstrate the eternal truth of it.
MOT because there is necessarily any strange mys-
tical force per se in what has come to be accep
ted as a moral code. But because the moral element,
the sense of being eternally right, does represent
a definite imponderable, which supports the will-to-win,
literally to the death,
And when that factor is absent, and the supreme
test comes, the army lacking it, sooner or later does
break beneath the strain.
THERE is nothing accidental therefore in the fact
that this imponderable is popularly known as
"MORALE".
That is what it is. "A mental state, as of a body
of men, an army and the like" according to Webster's
unabridged.
Yes, only a mental state, but based upon a spirit

He is off to a late start, and up to date, far from

And all in the cause of a better world, not for

DUT in this PARTICULAR conflict, we DO believe,
it comes nearer to being that, than ever before
in the history of the human race 1
And we believe further that that rationalization
will stand up under a pretty searching application of
realistic analysis and logic.
For certainly, considering every element of what
has accumulated through the ages as moral truth and
wisdom, the forces of Nazi Germany and Militaristic
Nippon do represent the perfect antithesis of all
those ethical values, and the perfect embodiment of
all that through the ages has been accepted by com
mon consent as EVIL.
TRUTH, honor, justice, fair dealing, even the rudi-
merits of human decency have been thrown over
board by the present rulers of these two nations and
for one reason, and one alone, to win by force, con
trol over peoples and lands, that only ask to be free
and to be let alone.
A ND this is done deliberately because in their ideol
ogy, what are known as moral values, are only
artificial and arbitrary obstacles set up by the priest
hoods and the "have nations", to protect their sacred
power and possessions, and deny a place in the sun
for the less fortunate and dispossessed nations of the
world. It is the doctrine of pagan force that ruled
effectively only in the jungle when the genus homo
walked on all fours.

Different kinds or forms of su

differences, but practically such
differences are Insignificant so
far as the use of sugar as food or
medicine is concerned. Dextrose
or glucose (two names for the
same thing), sucrose (or beet or
cane or sorghum sugar), lactose
(milk sugar), maltose (glucose or
dextrose produced by germina

sugar), it doesn't matter which

Molasses, cane syrup, corn syrup,
sorghum syrup, maple syrup

There is no foundation for the

If the quantity taken exceeds his

The height of absurdity In ref

obese persons is attained by this
elucidation of the matter recent

"Dextrose actually helps
burn extra fat A relatively
small amount of it relieves the
hunger pangs of those who are
dieting. Dextrose, in brief, Is
a non-fattening sweet because
it is absorbed into the blood
so quickly and completely that
it can't accumulate as fat."
That settles it dextrose Is the

From Washington
Coast May Aid
Rubber Supply
Lack of Rubber
Fault of MRC
No Provision for
Logging Tirea
r By Joha W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, Jan. 6.
In the search for substitutes for
natural rubber to meet the de
mand of some 33.000.000 motor
vehicle owners who will be de
prived of new tires, the govern
ment is looking to the Pacific
northwest as well as the Rocky
mountain states. The depart
ment of agriculture has commis
sioned Dr. George Hyslop of Ore
gon State college (he happens to
be conferring with the depart
ment on other agrarian matters')
to make a study and report on
the possibility of cultivating a
species of dandelion from which
can be fxtracted a Juice, or milk,
readily manufactured into rub
ber. Offhand and without having
time to return to Oregon and
Washington, Dr. Hyslop declares
he Is positive that the dandelion
can be grown In the northwest,
but he will make the survey In
detail In a few weeks.
The dandelion Is larger than
the kind speckling lawns and
! which are an eye-sore to house
holders. The sire may be the
: result of cultivation. However.
: the dandelions for the rubber
i experiment can be grown In al
; most any soil that Is reasonably
rich. If the department of agri
1 culture proceeds In this direc
i tion the next step will be the
' Installation of small Industries
: to collect the dandelion milk and
give It primary treatment. Ap
parently almost any soil (except
' arid) In the northwest states that
' can grow vegetation Is adaptable
1 to the dandelions.
! For the Rocky mountain states
the guayule bush may be
' planted, and this is the nearest
approach to natural rubber in
the United States. A few hun
dred sores are grv.wn commcrci

pens to the dextrose after It has
been absorbed into the blood?
Trouble with ordinary sugars Is
they are too likely to be convert
ed into fat after they have been
absorbed into the blood. That is
the inexorable law of physiol
ogy. But dextrose, dear me, if
you can absorb it quickly
enough you just carry it around
in your blood and you need
never give a thought to getting
fat. All this, like all magic, is
of course the bunk.

Wants Army Te Take Over
To the editor:
We have had too much Inter
ference In military matters by
the civilian representatives.
Congress, up to the declaration
of war, had a finger in every
thing of a military nature, and
the "pull-haul" program left us
unprepared for the war with
Japan, which nearly every per
son on the Pacific coast, and
many in Washington knew was
absolutely sure to come.
This morning's papers state
that Senator McNary Is not In
favor of placing defense projects
further inland. If the senator
will read Raymond Clapper's
article in the Oregon Journal
for Jan. 3, 1942, he will under
stand why politics MUST be
left out of this matter.
It will be a great deal cheaper
in the long run to build inland
and move the plant to the orig
inal location after the war than
It will be to build it at Fair
view, have it bombed, and have
to rebuild it further inland aft
erward or to do without it en
tirely after the machinery is de
stroyed. What we need Is new blood
In Washington men who read
and study from a military de
fense and offense angle, in
stead of a "you scratch my back
and 1 11 scratch yours from the
political standpoint.
Because things "done In
halves are never done right,"
we have sustained the loss of
our stepping stones to the
Orient and the lives of many
good Americans who because
of their special training, can
not be replaced at once. The
loss of these outposts and the
"loss of face" to us in the
Oritnt will cost us dearly.
On the debit page of the Con
gressional ledger may be writ
ten in red Ink, the loss of Guam
and Its personnel; the loss of
Wake and Its brave defenders;
the practically lost Philippines,
Including Cavlte, Manila; the
possible loss of Hawaii and
Midway.
The attacks on Alaska (to
come). The attacks on the Pac
ific coast cities and we know
they could have done this as
they flew over San Francisco.
The possible attack on the Pan

It Is time the military, if we
are to profit by our lessons,

Funeral services were held at
I p. m. today in the Conger cha

of the few remaining civil war
veterans In Oregon, who passed
away Saturday at his home In
Central Point. The Rev. R. W.
Coleman conducted the last rites
and services at the Interment in
Siskiyou Memorial Park were
concluded by the blowing of
taps.
Mr. Woods resided in Jackson
