A Profitable Business Deal
An unsigned communication poses the following
query:
"Isn't It true the local Chamber of Commerce, without
legal authority, offered 5,000,000 gallons of city water to the
war department as a bribe to get this cantonment?"
No, it isn't true.
Neither are a number of other wild statements in
this anonymous letter, regarding the cantonment and
water-meter problem.
We trust the writer, and others similarly afflicted,
will attend the public meeting next Wednesday night,
and get their facts straightened out.
For certainly a straightening-out process is needed.
THE cantonment water offer was made, not by the
Chamber of Commerce but by the proper legal
authority, the Medford Water Commission.
And had the offer, or some similar offer, not
been made there is no doubt the cantonment would
have been lost
But there is no more excuse for calling it a "bribe",
than to call an offer to 6ell lumber or milk to the
cantonment, at a good profit, a bribe.
The wdter proposal was not only a bona fide offer
of sale, but a sale at an excellent profit to the city,
assuring a revenue that may go far toward liquidat
ing the water indebtedness, entirely.
In fact if the cantonment uses the predicted
amount of water, the revenue will probably average
from $60,000 to $70,000 a year.
MORE than that
If METERED water is supplied, the government
has promised to pay for the meters, at a cost of nearly
$60,000, build a new' city reservoir to cost about
$150,000, and install a modern chlorination plant for
$6,000 or the gift of a grand total of approximately
$216,0001
IN short this water proposal, far from being in the
nature of a "bribe" or even a goodwill offering,
is one of the most profitable business deals, from the
cold blooded standpoint of dollars and cents, that has
been offered the City of Medford or any of its de
partments in many a long day.
All other considerations aside, the material advan
tages alone over a long term period, and regardless
of just when the war ends, there is a strong likelihood
Camp White will be operated for a decade at least,
justfy the arrangement being made.
War Truths vs. Half-Truths
Far be it from this department to discount the
allied bombing victory over the Japanese fleet as
reported by the navy yesterday.
When the navy dispatch declares 23 enemy ships,
including 14 warships were either sunk or damaged,
in the New Guinea area, there is no doubt whatever
of its truth. Nor its there any doubt this victory was
won with the loss of onlv one allied plane, which is
something well worth celebrating.
On the other hand we do not approve of the form
either of this announcement or those preceding a
form which has been the accepted navy press tech
nique ever since Pearl harbor, namely:
"Tell no untruths, but so present the truths they will
create a more favorable impression than the WHOLE truth
Justifies."
And this New Guinea victory, like the victories at
the Marshall Islands and Macassar Straits, in the
PARTICULAR FORM ADOPTED, does give the
general impression a major and decisive naval tri
umph had been scored.
WE grant this is the technique followed by Britain,
tell no lies but don't tell all the truth. We also
grant it is greatly superior to the Axis technique,
which is to pay no attention to the facts, whatever,
but shamelessly utilize publicity at all times as just
another weapon of war.
Nevertheless we would like to see this country
abandon the half-truth method, and for one reason
and one reason alone, because we believe it weak
ens this country's war effort rather than strengthens
it, by arousing a sense of false security, and encourag
ing an unwarranted spirit of over-confidence.
In this direction we entirely agree with Donald W.
Mitchell, war expert for the Nation, writing in the
current issue as follows :
We have probably not been getting as much manufac
tured news as we did on occasion in 1918, but neither have
we been getting as much of the truth as military safety will
allow. And many facts have been sugar-coated, by either
the government or the headline writers.
This badly mistaken public-relations policy has been the
government's greatest blunder since December 7.
Defeatism is not likely to be a common attitude of mind
In the United States, but complacency and what Homer Lea
once termed "the valor of ignorance" are fairly common.
Every time the war has brought a disaster the American
reaction has been prompt and positive. But we have not
been scared frequently enough or badly enough to keep us
working at maximum tempo.
Only a sustained sente of emergency, a realization that
the war Is steadily being lost, seems likely to give Americans
the drive needed to achieve success. And only the brutal
facta, without any softening, will give us this realization.
THIS doesn't mean to play DOWN victories, or to
play UP defeats. It means nothing, but to give
the American people, from day to day just as true
and accurate and reliable a story of the war and its
progress, as the necessity of keeping valuable infor
mation from the enemy, permits.
8)
THAT familiar phrase "Sunk OR damaged" for
example. How many were sunk, and how many
were damaged? The navy must have a pretty good
idea, why not give it? It has a tremendous bearing
on the real significance of the battle.
Here certainly is a publicity and propaganda prob
lem, made-to-order for that new bureau announced
yesterday, only a few hours before the naval triumph,
and specifically designed to give the war FACTS.

ing, for the people of a democracy deserve to KNOW

OPERATION IB THE
Any one who says I advise or
ever have advised that cataract
may be cured by any other
treatment
than operation
r-. "V 1 hi prevartca-
1 tor (why use
11 a four letter
. iflar iCJ word If a long
er one will
do?) Before
we go any fur
ther let us
have one thing
distinctly un
derstood: What I don't
know about
cataract would make a shelfful
of authoritative textbooks. What
I tell you here la purely and
simply the gist of the present
opinion of competent eye physi
cians or eye surgeons which I
believe I am qualified to Inter
pret for the layman, thats all.
Just to make it more emphatic,
let me add that to the best of
my knowledge and belief there
is no reasonably effective rem
edy for cataract except opera
tion.' Now this Is far from saying
that a victim of cataract must
choose one of two alternatives
having the operation or going
blind. On the contrary, I have
already pointed out. In earlier
talks on cataract, that in a good
many Instances the clouding or
haziness of the lens (the sight)
Is so slow in development that it
seems almost stationary and the
patient goes for many years or
for the rest of his or her life
unaware of the existence of cat
aract. On the other hand, I do
know enough about cataract to
say with positive conviction that
If I had cataract I wouldn't
monkey with any alleged rem
edy, treatment or cure except
(1) good hygiene (which I will
outline presently) or (2) opera
tion. I know even less about the
relative values or different
types of cataract operation.
Only the eye surgeon can Judge
about that, In each Individual
case. I merely know that many
good eye surgeons now operate
successfully before the patient
has become incapacitated by
failure of eyesight. That is, it Is
not necessary to wait for "ripen
ing" of cataract In order to do a
successful operation, in many
cases.
It should not be necessary in
this day and age to say that in

MOST of the American sol
diers now In the Far East have
had very little experience. With
troops sent to northern Ireland,
Iceland, bases in the Caribbean,
Panama, the regular army
those of several years of training
have been spread out very
thin and their ranks have been
supplemented with former na
tional guardsmen and selectees
A few months training, and the
boys are on their way to their
respective destinations.
While the convoys have been
going to the antipodes, the work
on Alaska air bases of the army
air corps and navy continues to
be pushed as weather permits.
Bombers can slide off to Japa
nese territory from the Aleu
tians, but there is still hope that
Stalin will permit an air base in
Asia, from which point setting
fire to Tokyo would be relative
ly simple. Meanwhile, his hand
off policy in the Pacific is enab
ling Stalin to bring In supplies
from the United States in Rus
sian vessels, the Japanese not
attempting to interfere with this
passage of food and munitions.
Insofar as the Pacific is con
cerned, Stalin is strictly neutral,
his sole concern being to run
Herr Hitler s army out of Rus
sia. And as long as Stalin re
fuses a base from the which the
Americans can attack and de
molish Tokyo the Japanese are
content to see Stalin bring In
his supplies from the United
States.

IT may be of Interest to know
why the American press can
now report the presence of
American troops In the Far
East. Every newspaper on the
Pacific coast knew what was
going on but said nothing until

CUKE FOB CATARACT
any case cataract operation Is
painless. Local anesthesia ren
ders the eye insensitive to pain.
Yet I find some people who are
not of a low I. Q. in ordinary
respects, fooling with non-medical
measures and refusing to
consult an oculist (eye physi
cian) about cataract for fear he
will advise operation. This is
deplorable. It reminds me of
several instances in which per
sons refused to submit to pro
per medical examination for
fear the doctor might find they
had tuberculosis, cancer or oth
er disease. If one actually has
the disease surely it la better
to find 'out whether it can still
be cured. If one hasn't the di
sease it is great thing to be
relieved of worry about it.

Knox said the navy had taken a
British newspaper reporter as
passenger; that the reporter
filed his story In Australia, al
though dating it "At Sea." The
reporter's boss came to the writ

was filed In Honolulu and was
passed by the American navy

then announced that the Eng
