This department has always had the highest re
gard for Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, no citizen in the
country, high or low, man or woman, has been more
unselfishly devoted to the country's welfare.
And taking her record as a whole, in the role of
First Lady of the Land, she has been a wholesome
and beneficial influence, as well as of material poli
tical aid to the Democratic party.
But something seems to - have happened to
"Eleanor" of late. Whether the strain of her abnorm
ally active life is beginning to tell, and she is sorely
in need of a rest or whether her judgment has never
been of the best, but has hitherto escaped any crucial
test which revealed it, we don't know.
But this we DO know.
Since the turn of the year Mrs. Roosevelt has ap
peared at a great disadvantage in her nation-wide
broadcasts, and taken positions on important ques
tions, which we are sure all her true mends and well
wishers sincerely regret.
THE first instance was Mrs. Roosevelt's impas-
sioned defense of the "fan dancer" technique in
the realm of civilian defense, on the ground that all
the trouble was forced by "malefactors of great
wealth" the privileged few against the welfare of
the many, or words to that effect
As if this familiar class-prejudice wheeze had
ANY proper place in the picture, or its introduction
the slightest excuse 1
THEN last night Mrs. Roosevelt saw fit to take on
. various commentators- and news broadcasters,
who have deplored the lack of vigorous and clear cut
leadership in Washington, during the present serious
crisis.
The First Lady of the Land took the extraord
inary position that in a democracy leadership rests
NOT upon those in high office or any favored indi
viduals, but upon the common people themselves
the rank and file, the plain folks,, who, unless we
entirely misunderstood the speaker, must now not
only do the fighting and dying, in the trenches, but
WITH flags waving lead the charge against the
enemy ramparts and determine the strategy at G.H.Q..
THIS is not only untrue
personal and entirely individual leadership of Win
ston Churchill were lacking 1 In time of war the
ftte of a democracy rests entirely upon the quality
of its leadership.
And one can't be in Washington, D. C, 24 hours
without FEELING, and acutely feeling -the ab
sence of similar definite clear cut leadership in the
capitol of the United States at the present time.
It's too bad. Not that Mrs. Roosevelt should NOT
do everything in her power to aid her husband and
support the administration, at such a critical time as
this; but that she should, on so many important issues
present such a weak and unconvincing case !
Sounds Fantastic, But
Did the report not come from Chungking, China,
and from a Communist paper published there it
could be dismissed as merely fantastic Japanese pro
paganda. "
But from such a source, even though it still sounds
fantastic the Japanese publicity department at least
can hardly be responsible for it.
THIS Communist journal maintains Japan is gath
ering together a polyglot army of 10 million men,
consisting of Chinese, Koreans, Formosans and what
have you, which in due course will fall on the Russians
in Siberia, while the Germans attack the Muscovite
collosus, in the west Thus Stalin will have what he
has so strenuously worked to avoid, a war on two
fronts.
One might inquire how an army of such size could
be equipped on land or in the air and how effective
ANY army of Chinese and Koreans would be against
the Russians or anyone else, when directed by of
ficers of a nation they fear and detest
No, one simply can't credit such a sensational
report regardless of the source.
DUT it may be worthy of consideration from an-
other angle. Undoubtedly Japan is working
night and day, to inject the racial issue into the con
flict in the Far East and persuade all the brown and
yellow brothers that in fighting against the allied
nations they are fighting AGAINST the dictatorship
and oppression of the white race.
There is this danger not only in all the East In
ilips and the Philippines, but in India itself, yes and
in Arabia and the Near East, whipping up a war
within a war to drive the "White Foreign Devils" out.
It certainly behooves the united nations, particu
larly the Anglo-Saxon branch to lean over back
wards in the determination to exhibit no prejudice
against any nation because of the color of its skin,
while the war is on.
And it makes no difference whether the precise
color is yellow, brown or black 1
Senator McNary and the War
Senator McNary is right when, in formally an
nouncing his candidacy for re-election he declares
winning the war, must at this time, take precedence
over everything else.
And in further stating that "neither profits, serv
ice charges, social gains nor any other factor should
be permitted to stand in the way of the effort, our
senior senator is also entirely correct
UOWEVER, we doubt if the war issue will prove
to be the prime cause of Senator MeNary's re
Bad!
but the exact reverse of
turn to Washington for another term and his fifth.
In all likelihood all candidates will be for the war
and its successful prosecution this year. Where Sena
tor McNary will have it over his opponents like a tent
will be his high position of prestige and power in
Washington, and the certaintv this will be retained,
regardless of whether the administration may con
tinue Democratic or go Republican.
VES, "Charley" McNary is one of ten or twelve
most influential men in Washington and regard
less of the future political complexion of the country,
so he will remain, as long as he lives, and retains his
present seat in the Upper House.
We predict there will be few voteTs in Oregon
who will care to deprive Oregon of this great asset,
merely on the grounds of personal or partisan feel
ing, and only on such grounds as we see it would
opposition to him be justified.

Professional man, father of
four sons, was prompted to write
by article published recently,
about the
young woman
who had re
cently taken
her first drink
and contem
plated going
in for more or
less regular or
serious drink
ing, which she
thought might
help her loci
ally. Or Doc Bra
dy told the young woman off
not without sympathy, I hope,
but such cases always nettle the
old fellow.
The professional man says:
I have never used tobacco or
liquor. I have raised four sons.
Two of them are well down the
liquor road this young woman
of whom you wrote Is traveling,
the third is Just starting. From
this experience I conclude a
father should raise two seta of
children. After seeing the first
set go to tobacco and alcohol, he
might be strenuous enough with
pledges and advice to get the
second set to leave tobacco and
alcohol alone. Parents who do
not use these stimulants take too
much for granted until it is too
late.
With the professional man'
permission we'll leave the to
bacco out of it. No child not
yet able to support himself or
herself or old enough to vote
should be permitted to have,
buy, sell, receive or give away
tobacco, in my opinion, but I
believe the fight against alco
hol Is weakened if we attempt
to make it cover tobacco too.
Tobacco impairs health and
vitality, especially in youth, but
it Is no more comparable with
alcohol than a cup of tea or
coffee Is with opium or cocaine.
I believe the W. C. T. U. and
other temperance organizations
would get more cooperation if
they kept their views on tobacco
out of the picture.
I wonder if it really is "too
late" for the father to do some
thing for the third son who, he
says, is Just starting down the
liquor road. How does the
father stand with his children?
Do they respect him and love
him as children naturally re
spect and love a good father?

not mean much except for labor
leaders. It is all up to your
local draft board, and no doubt
the boards will differ widely in
their rulings on Individual cases.
Draft General Hershey wrote
a letter to all state draft direct
ors urging exemption of labor
leaders (as well as management
liaison men with labor) in order
to keep "harmonious relations"
on the production front. That
was not an order, but It will be
binding. As for radio-movie
actors, Hershey merely wrote a
letter to a California director
(no other else) saying Lowell
M e 1 1 e 1 1 , the administration
movie director, considered the
industry as a war essential. This
is not apt to be binding. Where
the news-men got into this select
group, nobody knows. Hershey
said something about it being a
war essential at a press confer
ence, and of course the press as
a whole, is essential. News
papers cannot be abandoned.
But each draft board will decide
for Itself whether particular in
dividuals in the Industry are in
dispensible to It.
AS for the new 4J to 64 draft,
no one seems to know any
thing for sure. Mr. Roosevelt
said General Hershey ought to
know, and the general said he
did not. Jurisdictional dispute
as to who is to handle this draft
of older men for industry (not
for the army) has long been go
ing on between Labor Adviser
Hillman, Social Securist Paul
McNutt and Labor Secretary
Perkins. They have been get

on the matter for some time,
and exact information apparent

Br Johm W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, March 23
It Is dawning upon officials In
Washington that quick action
must be taken with the property
of alien in the northwest or
there will be heavy loss. Many
of the aliens, particularly the
Japanese, have growing crop
requiring immediate attention.
Arrangement wlU have to be
made to get such crops cultivat
ed and marketed if loss of values
is to be avoided. Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho hav many
such problem and a great vol
ume of correspondence Is al
ready setting in with requests
fur action. More detailed Inform
ation about this will be furnish
ed soon by those placed in
charge.
For the Immediate problem
Involving property of 120,000
Japanese, German - and Italian
aliens of the Pacific coast the
Federal Reserve bank at San
Francisco has charge. The as
sumption 1 that when the cur
rent emergency 1 passed the
handling of alien property will
go to the custodian. Branches of
the Federal Reserve bank will
probably designate appointees
for handling specific districts
and areas.
And while there is confusion
over what to do with property
cf the Japanese, a measure has
been introduced in congre? to
deprive the children of Japanese
parents -who have been born in
the United States of their citiz
enship. The Civil Liberties union
Is expected to leap to the de
fense of the Nisei.

Over a long time a contro

known that there are a few mil

ihe Pacific northwest which will
not be mined as long as the in

companies. Zinc owners of the
northwest do not care to obll

and development work If they
are to be left at the mercy ol the

Dr. Chapman's tour will take

By FRANK JENKINS
AUSTRALIAN dispatches this
(Saturday) morning tell of
Jap air raid on Broome and
Derby.
Your map will locate these
towns for you on King Sound,
several hundred miles SOUTH
WEST of Darwin, on the Indian
ocean side of the Australian con
tinent. AT the same time a Vichy dis
patch tells vaguely of a Jap
fleet that is said to be headed
down through the Indian ocean
for Perth, at the far southwest
tip of Australia.
(Remember that the Vichy
government of France can be
generally depended upon to play
the axis game, whatever it may
be. As long, that is, as playing
the axis game doesn't involve
too much risk.)
Vague dispatches a day or so
ago intimated that the Jap at
tack on Australia, when it does
come, may be expected to fall
on the EAST coast, where the
big cities and the bulk of the set
tlement are located.
IT is fairly safe to assume that
these rumors are ENEMY-in-splred,
and that their purpose is
to confuse the defenders of Aus
tralia and lead them to scatter
their forces over a vast area.
If that purpose could be ac
complished, the Japs would be
enabled to CONCENTRATE
their forces for a smashing blow
at one thinly defended point.
This strategy, which is one of
the natural advantages of the of
fensive, Is as old as warfare, and
we may assume that MacArthur,
trained and experienced soldier
that he has shown himself to be,
knows all about it
DECENT dispatches told of
" smashing American - Austral
ian raids on Jap bases in the
ring of Islands north of Aus
tralia. MacArthur evidently fig
ures the Jap assault will come
from these bases, if and when it
is launched.
UacARTHUR, speaking today
" In Melbourne to cheering
thousands of Australians, says:
"I have every confidence in
the ultimate success of our Joint
cause, but success in modern war
requires something more than
courage and willingness to die.
"It requires CAREFUL PREP
ARATION." He adds:
"No general can make some
thing out of nothing. My suc
cess in the future will depend
primarily upon the resources
which the respective govern
ments place at my disposal."
DY resources, he means not only
B fighting men but ships,
planes, tanks and guns must
come from the FACTORIES on
the home front
They must come SPEEDILY,
or they will be TOO LATE.
I ET us turn now to the home
front where these resources
(ships, planes, tanks and guns)
must come from, and see how
the politicians who are primarily
in charge of their 'production,
are handling their Job.

It Involves teaching those of

Tennis, bowling, billiards,

the games we are to be taught to
play, and for each there is to be
a co-ordinator. There are to be.

If all these co-ordinator and

and tanks and guns, wouldn't it
be of immensely more value to

than teaching us stay-at-home
how to relax and playT
F we lose this war, it wont be
througn any fault of the brave
