Barbaric hordes crushed and trampled Soochow, pillaged and ravish ed Nanking and America namea wun ngmeous anger! The pitiful picture of helpless men, women and little children fifty million of them blasted from their ancestral homes robbed, destitute, hungry and homeless aroused within America the deepest com passion. AT Pearl Harbor, China's ruthless foe turned upon THIS nation, and Chiang Kai-shek's valiant war riors became OUR comrades-at-arms.

Pitted against the same foe in the same right- eous cause, our own Ilgnung men una in ineir aiues a source of high inspiration. B B B AMERICA'S obligation to China is, indeed, a great one. The tide of Japanese lust and butchery was stemmed for four long years precious time for this nation to strengthen her ramparts. Does America recognize this obligation? We be lieve she does. We believe that this deep sense of gratitude will find expression in whole-hearted public response to the current United China Relief campaign. And the people of Medford and the Rogue River valley are privileged to have a part in this highly worthy effort. VES, the people of this community and of America will want to strengthen the morale of the Chinese people for, magnificent as it has been, the spirit of China has been shaken by the bitter cruelty of war. Morale needs reinforcements too! They will want to help China crush epidemic and plague with the same determination with which they battle the Japanese foe. They will want to furnish food, shelter, medical care, medical and surgical sup plies, anaesthetics, vitamin capsules for undernour ished and rickets-ridden children. B B B B B VES, America will want to do all of this and the purchasing power of American dollars in China makes each one do the work of twenty ! Just how generously we respond to this United China Relief will depend the future strength of China, bulwark of freedom in the Orient H.G. Where Will Hitkr Strike? That tremendous prestige which Hitler and his blitzkrieg army enjoyed a year ago, is no more. If Russia had done nothing else, this boost to allied and blow to German morale would be of incalculable worth. On the other hand Germany still enjoys an advan tage that goes with the initiative. And it is a real advantage. For what is the situation today? All Europe, in fact the entire allied world, is trying to guess where Der Reichsfuehrer will strike next Will it be at the Near East through Turkey? Or will Turkey be by-passed and the blow directed at the Caucasus and Syria? Or will Hitler pull another Rabbit out of his hat, merely hold on the East and South while he launches the long delayed invasion of England, from Norway and the channel ports. Or again, will he concentrate on the capture of Mos cow and Leningrad, spring another surprise by re suming the offensive against Russia where he left off. B B B B QNLY Hitler knows. And enjoying the advantage of inside lines, he can concentrate on an over whelming blow at one point, while his enemies have to be prepared to resist him on all. This does give Adolf a tremendous advantage, unless, well unless Stalin again shows he has Der Reichsfuehrer's number, by keeping him so busy on the Eastern front, Adolf will have no time to capi talize on it And that may very well be the answer! Communications Oil Wall Owners Viewpoint To the editor: I am becoming mighty weary of reading about the scarcity of tasollne ntion cards and all that plunder. I may not know much about the movements of troops or now the war is com ing on, and a thousand uther things, but when it comes to the production of crude petro 'eum, I know what I am talking sbout as myeelf and brothers ind sisters have two wells that will produce 1,900 barrels per amy. Now this Is not a stock Droposltinn, we own the land nnd receive one-eighth of all the oil produced, yet the way the allowables are set we receive about $1 Oil per day. Last month we could have produced all the oil that we produced in the month In jn day were we al owed to produce. We pumped nine days, s small amount each day, further than that we are entitled to another well caused by an oil set Tbsre To China as a people, we have so rVi 1l fiprrv.lrtvfnc lririaM. It a well south of us and to protect our rights, we should nave one drilled on our land The party who holds the lease says that he cannot drill a well because the allowable is too low and will take too long to get his money back, as it costs $23 000 to $30,000 to drill a well. The way matters stand, the party across the road Is pump ing part of our oil. There is .'0 000 oil weils In Kansas and when the production Is raised, tt amounts to very little when apportioned among these 20.000 wells HARRY LECLERC Medford. March 23. Dictatorship or Democracy?

VITAMIN D FOR M No natural food contains enough vitamin D for the re quirements of the prospective mother and the child. Therefore it is the practice of physicians to prater ibe a dally ration of vitamin D In one form or another to sup plement the expectant mother's diet throug bout pregnancy and after the child is born it it now customary to prescribe dally ration of vitamin D for the child, from the age of one month throughout the first year at least. This not only favors normal development and growth of the child but tends to protect the mother's blood, bones, teeth and nerve tissues from being robbed of calcium by the demands of the child. Just as it Is practically Impos sible for the ordinary Individual to eat enough of the so-called "protective foods" milk, eggs, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits to supply all the vitamins re quired to maintain optimal health, so it is practically Im possible for the prospective mother to consume all the eggs, milk, cream, butter she would have to consume to get even the minimum daily requirement of vitamin D for her own nutrition to say nothing of the demands of the li'l stranger. If any complacent old timer still in practice can refute these statements I'd like to hear from him. Milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, oysters, salmon (fresh or canned) are virtually the only foods that contain any considerable amounts of vitamin D. Formerly various fish liver oils, which are rich in vitamin D, were pre scribed whenever vitamin D was needed. Nowadays there are numerous tasteless vitamin D concentrates available as a source of extra vitamin D for mother or child. Nowadays, too, special foods are fortified with extra vitamin D such vitamin D milk so that the average day's ration of the food will give fair day's ration of vitamin D. In whatever form the vitamin D may be taken, it is essential that' every expectant mother vestlgated and curbed. Thurman Arnold vehemently concurs in the demands of the people, em phasizing the gravity of the situation. Senator McNary states in reply to wires, that bills have been passed but that the presi dent refuses to have any anti labor legislation at this time. If the wishes of the people, expressed through their chosen representatives, are no longer of any consequence why not re call our men from Washington and save their salaries? It al most looks as If we got In on the wrong side In this war that we should be fighting with, not against the other dictators. "When In doubt, go to the head man for information" has always been a good rule so I hereby make a motion that some service club In Medford aponnor a "Write or wire the President" campaign demand ins the necessary legislation. The results of the campaign will tell us whether we still live in a democracy. Spokane put It over can Medford do as well? (Name on file) N.V.H. Medford, March 24.

Brady - M. O. OTHER AMD CHILD and every baby should receive a fair daily ration of vitamin D, and no offhand assurance of the experienced but not well in formed old medical practitioner that mother and child will get all the vitamins needed from food alone can lessen the im portance of this. For the expectant mother four or five drops of tasteless vitamin D concentrate (each drop contains about 330 U. S. P. units of vitamin D) is a fair daily ration. For the baby two or three drops is a fair daily ration.

Effort To Invade Britain Now Distinct Possibility In Opinion of MacKenzie By DeWltt MacKensle (Wide World War Analyst) The warning given in the British house of commons by Sir John Anderson, member of German may attempt to invade sounding brass, or a tinkling Of course, talk of invasion is one of those things which come to life with the first good weather and last until the fall fog and storms savage the English channel. Still, it would be folly to treat It as a cry of wolf merely because Hitler thus far has held hi hand. An effort at Invasion cer tainly 1 possibility. I should say, however, that such an ex tremely hazardou operation would be undertaken by Hitler only a an act of desperation if thing go badly for turn on the Russian front British Knockout Major Catastrophe Tha point I that If he could knock England out by a light ning stroke, while standing the Reds off, he would have dealt the allies a blow which at the least must be described as catastrophic. He then could de vote all his energy to the Bol shevist. A you know, Hitler' appar ent strategy 1 to try again to break Into the Caucasus and the middle east to get supplies. That' hi logical route to vic tory, and hi preparations point to this being his major effort either a direct smash through the Russian left flank into the Caucasus oil fields, or a move ment through Turkey maybe both, if the Turks can be bul lied into granting free passage of their territory, a' we dis cussed in this column yester day. Should the present murderous Russian offensive develop so as not only to block this program but, a the Bolshevists predict, to threaten a debacle in Hitler's ranks, then would be the mo ment when he might make a colossal gamble with an attempt to crush England. Maybe our answer is being written right now in the great counter-offensive which the nazls are at tempting with 600,000 fresh troops. The Reds claim the slaughter of Germans is so heavy that the Utters' attacks seem to be "passing through a mincing machine." Nasi Leader Now In Trim For Try The nazi leader is In better shape for a blow at England now than he Is likely to be again. He has a vast fleet of invasion barges ready. For months now his air force had been largely inactive, presum ably being overhauled ' and tuned up for the spring fight ing. Meanwhile his factories have been pouring out new and more powerful warplanes, and transport gliders are reported to have been manufactured In great numbers. He has the troops, and he has a pretty husky navy. The perils of an adventure in Invasion have been vastly in creased by the high state of British preparedness. T h t fuehrer missed his big chance way back at the time of Dun kerque, when he had John Bull hanging on the ropes. As It is, the Britons have been getting set for Just such an emergency for almost two years. There probably are 3,300.000 men under arms In the British Isles. Direct Production of War Material Planned If Industry Incapable Washington, March 23. (Pi Congress was informed today the government is prepared to go into direct production of strategic war materials If it Is unable to obtain them through private industry. This disclosure was made by Secretary Ickes to a house ap propriation sub-committee dur ing hearings on the interior sup ply bill which was reported to day. Discussing preparation to de velop and obtain war supplies. Ickes said: "In brief, the program calls for new or Intensified explor ations for copper, zinc, lead, iron, chromite, bauxite, clays and many other minerals; for supplying additional sources of power in the western states needed to develop and process minerals and to fabricate met als; for Increasing production of required petroleum products. Including aviation gasoline and the component of synthetic rubber. "All of these resourees and processes we propose to make available to the war production board and any other war agency."

Anything can happen, and the military affairs com mittee is watching the north west, recognizing that any in vasion attempt must try to break through in that section. a a IN one of his syndicated col umns General (Crack Down) Johnson observed that the American troops on Bataan pen insula under General Mac Arthur were seasored regulars, which is why they gave such a good account of themselves. He said the public can expect a different story when green and Inexperienced troops gc un der fire for the first time. No one challenged that statement because of censorship, but now a senator from New Mexico de clares that the national guard of that state (federalized) has been in the Philippines with MacArthur and that the finest physicians, dentists, lawyers and other high-type citizens of New Mexico are fighting the Nips, In the selective service law the president was empow ered to send the national guard to the Philippines, Panama or Alaska and the New Mexico guard was dispatched to the is lands. In the troops pouring into Australia are a large number fresh from civil life. One boy who went into the army in Jan uary is now in Australia 80 days after donning a uniform and half of that time he has been on a transport. And last year the army informed con gress that at least 18 months of training should be given the selectees before being sent to active service. B MATTERS have not ben pro gressing smoothly for Paul J. Raver, administrator for Bon neville and Grand Coulee power, since he has been in the national capital. The adminis trator Is still negotiating to buy two or three private utility companies as though he had the money in his pocket. As yet he has not even authority to ac quire. At first. Dr. Raver (hav ing patched up his differences with Washington's Bone) ex pected the senator to carry through, but later It was dis covered that Bone would need some help, so Raver conferred with Oregon's McNary, brought in his general counsel, Allan Hart. No soap. Then Raver sought the aid of Oregon's Hol man, but Holman explained that Raver had been devoting his time to other senators and he could not be expected to ab sorb all the intricacies of the proposed legislation in a single interview. Raver was told to submit a complete and compre hensive brief and then, when committee work permits, Hol man would look it over. One story in circulation Is that Raver had heard that a public utility executive had planted some embarrassing questions with a member of the house committee on appropria tions. There was a leak in the committee, so the story goes, and Raver -obtained a copy of the questions, which he did not want to answer. Raver' office telephoned the committee that the administrator was not in the city. TOWNSEND CLUB NO. 1 PLANS BIG MEETING (Contributed) Townsend club activity for next Fridav ta th r.ytiU. n.u.
