A number of h. boys of the
"Class of '42, ' who went forth
week ago into cold, cruel
nd war-torn world to face the
perils of the future, armed with
naught but their diplomas and
youth, are now working at f 1.10

overtime. They are using their
football muscles more than
their algebra.

The Nazis in vengeance for
the assassination long delayed
of their prize killer, R. liey

and exiled all the women and
children to concentration camps
in a little Czech village. Then
they set fire to the town. Here
is the slimiest flower of abor

Twain once remarked: 'They

able to drag themselves bark to

for a ruthless peace.

Midway Saves Medford
Thousands and thousands of miles of salt water
separate the Midway Islands and Medford.
Yet the naval battle fought there this last week,
may well mean everything to this community and the
entire Pacific coast, the difference between the
constant threat of a Japanese invasion, and the com
plete elimination of it
VES, the more the details of this sea encounter be-
come known, the more certain it is, that while in
the sense of a crushing naval defeat for Nippon it
was NOT decisive, in the removal of any Japanese
conquest threat it WAS.
For it is now clear that the real cause of the U. S.
naval victory was the overwhelming superiority of
land-based planes.
JAPAN had several hundred planes, but they were
all carrier-based. Concentrating upon these car
riers the United States bombers and torpedo-craft,
destroyed one on June 3d, another on June 4th, and
heavily damaged several more, returning to Mid
way between attacks for refuelling, rearming and
repairs.
Had these U. S. planes been carrier based, obvious
ly they could not have done this, at least as readily or
completely and for two main reasons :
No. I Carrier bases are sinkabla, land bases ara not.
No. 2 Extensive repairs, rapid refuelling and rearm
ing on any large scale are difficult, if not impossible, on air
carriers; on land air fields it's all in the day's work.
IN other words, even if this country did not have
rt o iro 1 onnannnfv axtYi inVs if Anaa Vt o ita on A a cii
periority that, from day to day, will constantly in
crease, as long as we have LAND-BASED airplanes
and Japan hasn't, there is no more chance of a suc
cessful Japanese invasion or naval attack on this
coast than there is of such an attack from Mars or
the inhabitants of the north pole.
It just can't be done. And after this crushing blow
at Midway, the Japanese High Command KNOWS it
1X7E are not advising the airplane spotters to aban-
don their local posts immediately. It must
be pleasant up there this beautiful weather,
and while any Jap invasion is out, a token raid by
Jap bombers isn't. In fact this humiliating blow at
Midway and resulting loss of face might make such
a sneak attack even more

such fears in some quarters have existed, that
one of these fine days, we might wake up and
see the bestial yellow hordes streaming over the
mountain tops to the west.
Midway has, once and for all exploded that terrify
ing prospect.
In modern warfare no successful invasion by sea is
possible between combat forces in any degree equal,
when one has a LAND-based fighting air fleet, and
the other hasn't
What Are We Fighting For?
Secretary Knox's statement at Cambridge, and the
announcement of a 20-year mutual assistance pact
between England and Russia, are well timed, at least.
baid Secretary Knox:
refrain from trying to impose democratic government
upon all peoples."
Says the British foreign office : "For the next two
decades Britain and Soviet Russia will be working
hand in hand for their mutual benefit in both war
and peace."
rF the world powers in Europe, England is the most
democratic, Russia the least, or at least one of
the least
Yet one of the strongest implications of Sumner
Welles' Decoration Day speech at Arlington ceme
tery, was that World War No. 2 will end imperialism
and extend self-government throughout the world.
Democracy, it is hardly necessary to add, means
self government, the rule of the people, and noth
ing else.
CO the Knox pronouncement from the standpoint
of the Roosevelt administration was well timed,
of the Roosevelt administration was well timed.
Had no correction of the Welles statement been
made and that of Secretary Wallace for that matter,
there might have been some embarrassment caused
in Washington by this announcement of Soviet Rus
sian and British empire "brotherhood alliance."
For not only did the Assistant Secretary of State
virtually pronounce the doom of the British empire,
he also wrote off the Russian adventure in dictator
ship. IN fact, we don't believe anyone who heard the

Welles speech would deny, that it definitely pledged
the Roosevelt administration to a revival and re
implementation of the battle cry of World War No.
One, a "war to make the world safe for democracy."
Yet here we have our two chief allies, one whose
empire we have doomed and the other where the
masses have no voice in the government whatever,
joining up not only for the war, but inevitably for
the peace which follows!
THOSE who read between the lines of such pro
nouncements, as well as those who intend to write
the history of the present world conflict, certainly
have food for thought for some little time!

TREATMENT Or
In a talk about "hardening of
the eye" (glaucoma) the other
day we explained the nature of
the
condition
and told why
the question of
wearing glass
es and the
right lenses to
wear should
be left to the
judgment and
advice of the
eye physician,
especially in
cases of far
slghtness
Dr. Krady and astlgma-
In adults approaching or past
forty, because the unconscious
eve strain In focusing tha eyes so
affected tends to Increase intraoc.
ular tension, pressure within the
eyeball, and that favors harden
ing of the eye.
As a rule progress of the trou
ble Is retarded and loss of sight
minimized by the instillation of
medicine in the eyes several
times a day to keep the pupils
contracted and the Iris drawn
away from the canal where
drainage from the eyeball nor
mally goes on constantly to keep
pressure within the eyeball from
becoming too high. In glau
coma the drainage or circulation
through this canal Is impeded
by dilation of the pupil and
pushing forward of the lens. The
patient may keep fairly comfort
able for years by constant use
of such drops, under the ocu
lists' j direction.
If such treatment fails to
check the progress of the dis
ease, as shown by Increasing dif
ficulty in vision, operative treat
ment should be had before the
sight becomes too greatly Im
paired. THere is seldom any
chance of restoring that part of
the field of vision which has
been lost as a result of the glau
coma. The best patient can ex
pect from operative treatment
for glaucoma is arrest of the dis
ease so that the patient retains
what vision remains at the time
the operation is done.
Without professing to have
any expert knowledge of glau
coma, but basing the suggestions
on a survey of recent medical
literature relating to the subject.
I offer victims of glaucoma the
following:

daily ration of vitamin C pre

News Behind
The News
By Paul Malloo
(Continued Prom Pag On)
Instead, it assumes only that
government will be used for
benevolent encouragement of
the democratic capitalistic sys
tem, not for discouragement. It
proposes reform through pros
perity, a sharing of the wealth
by increasing it for all, not by
dividing what is left in depres
sion. This business man Walter D.
Fuller, president of the Curtis
Publishing company, says there
were an estimated 6,000,000
homes without bath-tubs in this
country during our ten depres
sion years, 19.000.000 without
telephones, 10.000,000 rural
homes without central heat.
"Lack of buying power?" he
asks. "Not at all. Lack of ingenu
ity In exchange of goods and
effort. e could have produced
and financed these needs and
more. We failed to do the selling
job."
People will have money after
this war he points out. Savings
are accumulating.
Our system a failure? Why, says
Mr. Fuller, from "a poor nation.
93 percent of whose people were
ill-clothed, ill-fed, ill-housed and
ill-educated, we have risen in
130 years to the supremacy of
the world, over all other sys
terns."
Was this because nature en
dowed us lavishly, or because,
wa were larger, older, better
than others? Says Mr. Fuller:
"China has an older civiliza-
tlon. India has a larger popula '
tion. Russia has comparable r.a
tural resources. England is a!
greater empire. France also was'
a republic. Germany has highly
trained and skilled workers.
Japan has a longer work day.
"But in all the world, only
the United States could hope to
produce enough planes, tanks,
guns, ships and everything else
quickly enough to win this
war."
mjIR. Fuller could have gone
' further. He could have point
ed out that this unprecedented
acr-omplishment Is attributable
to the new unification of pur

exist, instead of creating real
wealth for all.

the old system, because that can
not be done. The taxation, regu

been permanently established In

Washington, D. C, June 11.
Before long almost every man
of military age in the northwest
who can be spared from war in
dustries will be in uniform. The
local boards will be reclassify
ing registrants and feeding them
steadily into the armed forces
until the army has attained a
strength of eight to 10 million,
a point to be reached next year.
Comparatively few regis
trants have been rejected by
local boards for Illiteracy. The
northwest stands among the
lowest sections of the nation for
number of people who can
neither read nor write. Bulk
of the illiterates are from the
deep south, mountaineers who
know how to shoot but are not
up on book larnin'. However,
the limited number of these in
the northwest will be given a
hurry-un education which while
not up to army standards, will
give them the rudiments of the
three R's. Army requirement Is
four years of schooling, which
would keep out such men as
Richard the Lion Hearted, At
tila, Ghengis Khan and possibly
reject Andrew Jackson. In the
first World war the record dis
closes that 25 per cent of the
draftees were illiterate.
Way is now being opened to
induct the registrants classified
as 3-A. These are men with
dependents; wife and one or
more children. Senate has al
ready approved legislation for
financial assistance for wife and
children and the house may fol
low along, although it may de
cide on a different amount of
aid. When a man eligible for
combat has been placed in 3-A
because he is supporting a fam
ily aid will be given and the
man put in uniform. Plan is
for the soldier to contribute $22
a month from his pay (buck
privates now receive $21 a
month, which will be upped)
and the government will add
$28. Children under the senate
bill would receive $12 a month
(house says $10); detail of how
much to give dependents will
be worked out in conference.
With such deductions the pay
of the enlisted man will actually
be about what it is at present.
There .is disagreement on the
proposal to pay a percentage of
the increased pay to soldiers in
war bonds, the objection com
ing from top-flight army offi
cers. The proposal would not
affect the pay of commissioned
officers.
DOZENS of men hava come
to the national capital to obtain
orders for ships or other con
tracts and have returned home
after many weeks with nothing.
Last week a man breezed into
town, found his way to the navy
department and asked for the
privilege of building small craft.
He saw no member of the con
gressional delegations and
worked "on his own." A con

for hairy vetch teed and $16 a
ton for Austrian winter peas is
offered seed dealers of Oregon

This, states Triple A, is a good
profit, and the only manner in
which a larger profit can be ob
tained is for growers to receive
less or southern farmers pay
more. Tha seeds are produced
on many hundred thousand
acres in the northwest and will
be a prolific and valuable crop
this season. Triple A is acting
in the go-between for growers,
seed dealers and southern farm
ers and has designated the north
west as the place to produce.

the reason to growers, the lat
ter have been appealing to
WPB, which says it realizes the
