Why Not Tell the Truth?
To the editor
"I agree with you regarding the war news censorship.
This sugar-coating business has gone far enough. I have yet
to find any true American who doesn't want the truth,, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth. The tougher the news
the madder he gets and harder he will fight. If we were a
lot of yellow-bellies there might be some excuse in this sort
of censorship, but there is no yellow In the red, white and
blue. The great danger is not that we might get down
hearted and discouraged imagine the Yanks doing a trick
like that! the great danger is overconfidence, the belief that
because we are the richest country in the world we are also
the strongest, and can put over this job, like licking a
postage stamp. I tell you this business is going to take the
best we got, with not only those at the front but behind it
working on a 24-hour shift. Only this morning a man offered
to bet me even money Japan would be wiped up before
Christmas. When I tried to get his reasons it wa the report
of the Coral Sea and Midway battles he read In your own
paperl Let the censorship go on this way much longer and
No one will read the war reports anymore, and if they do
read them, won't believe them. Keep up your chin it it
takes all summer. Have the government give the people the
facts, the tougher they are, the harder the doughboys will
fight!" G. S. Johns, Medford, June 13th.
Well we agree with that within the limitations
already pointed out. "The truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth" however can NOT be printed,
and should not be. The aid to domestic morale
would be nothing compared to the aid to the enemy.
On the other hand, all the truth that can NOT
aid the enemy should be told. And the sooner our
own "High Command" adopts this policy, and aban
dons the suga:1 pill policy the better for all concerned.
IN this, as in most other things, the proper' course
is a mean between two extremes: avoiding ex
treme optimism on one hand, extreme pessimism on
the other; giving at all times just a3 TRUE a picture
of the EXACT situation, as is consistent with reveal
ing nothing that might directly or indirectly, weaken
the American and allied war effort, or aid the Axis.
As has been REPEATEDLY remarked in this
column; far better at all times to OVERestimate
the dangers confronting us, than UNDERestimate
theml Underestimating them has from the start
been the nemesis of the United Nations cause.
Where It Can't Be,
Speaking of the censorship problem, there is one
department where the truth isn't told, because it
CAN'T be.
This relates to reports of enemy losses. And the
truth can't be told because the facts can't be known.
a
WHEN the Italians, for example, claim they sank
two British cruisers, a destroyer, and four other
ships, with the loss of 10,000 troops, it is at best a
wild guess, and at worst, pure fabrication.
For while such a disaster MAY have been suf
fered in the Mediterranean, if it WAS suffered, the
attacking air fleet command could not KNOW it.
From 10,000 feet in the air, or 1,000 flying
at 200 or 300 miles per hour, any news reporter, to
say the least, is at a terrific disadvantage!
The victims can KNOW their losses, the attack
ers can only ESTIMATE them.
THIS is particularly true in naval engagements,
fi-,r rlictannpa hpfu'ppn tV)l flttflpkint7 forCGS

are so great.
We have iust been reading a small brochure on
the battle of Jutland, by Lieutenant Waldo Cham
berlain of the U. S. Naval Reserve, which throws
a revealing light on the problem.
Even today after the lapse of 26 years, there is
considerable doubt as to PRECISELY what hap-'
pened in this epoch-making engagement.
It was a British victory of course, because the
German fleet retreated. But it is known today that
what the British Commander Jellicoe THOUGHT,
h-muened did not happen. In his official report, fori
example, Jellicoe claimed two German Dreadnaughts
were "seen t' sink," but not only was none sunk,
but none was even seriously damaged!
As the author concludes:
"The value of Jelllcoes report is Immediately thrown
into question. This does not mean he was consciously falsi
fying his dispatches, but rather it indicates the impossibility
of one man's knowing what actually Is happening In the wide
area over which modern fleet actions are fought."
And that man the supreme commander of one of
the opposing forces !
CONTINUING on the same subject Lieutenant
Chamberlain observes:
'The present writer discussed the battle with an officer
who served in a destroyer attached to HMS Marlborough.
This officer stated that although his vessel was part of the
screen for the battle line and as between it and the German
fleet all afternoon, he never saw but one enemy ship during
all that time because of drifting fog and mist."
If an officer participating in a naval battle:
couldn't even SEE the enemy fleet, much less tell;
what happened to it; how about the lads writing,
the official account in the office of censorship, back j
at the home base! j
"THIS difficulty in getting the tine facts is not so'
extreme in modern naval warfare where the air
force plays such a vital part, but it still exi.-ts, as the
conflicting reports of the Coral Sea and Midway
battles clearly indicate.
On land there is far less difficulty of course.
Yet even there, where it comes to estimating the
ENEMY'S casualties, the margin of error is tremen
dous. The hostile command can quickly add them
up by checking their own records, but the opposing
command, with no such records, can only estimate
them.
So boys and girls, when it comes to the claims
of ANY belligerent in World War No. 2. regarding
the casualties on the OTHER side, just recall what
happened in the battle of Jutland and get out your
shaker of salt!

they do not
like milk are
missing a boon
to health and
Dr. Brady nutrition, i n
my opinion. Now, don't retort
that I'm missing a boon to
health and nutrition when I
worry along with mashed pota
to. Nothing about mashing 'em
that changes the value of potato
in the diet, and I go for French
fried potatoes if they are genu
ine, or German fried, or home
fried, or scalloped, or roasted
potato if there is pork gravy to
go with it.
Children who are finicky
about drinking milk often be
come keen about it if some one
who likes milk contrives to start
a good natured competition in
drinking milk, with some re
ward for a good record. Of
course this doesn't work well
unless the adult is really fond
of milk and takes It In prefer
ence to tea or coffee when the
child Is at the table.
Mrs. H. W. G. writes that she
became impressed by my writ
ing on the health and nutritional
value of milk. She was 31
years old before she could take
any milk at all. Her mother
had tried countless methods to
persuade her to drink milk, but
never with any success. At the
age of 22 her aunt consoled her
by boasting of her own fine
health and the aunt never could
take milk either. But the aunt
nevertheless died at 48.
Now this is how Mrs. G.
learned to agree with milk. She
left off all attempts for two
weeks. Then she began taking
a tablespoonful of milk daily,
followed by water. After three
days she increased the daily
dose of milk to three table
spoons, always followed by a
drink of water. After a week
she increased the daily dose of
milk to a wineglassful or slight
ly more, kept that up for two
weeks. Then she took as much
as half of an ordinary glassful
of milk daily for two or three
weeks more. By that time it
became easy for her to take a
glassful of milk whenever she
wanted it. Mrs. G. says she at
tributes the success of this meth
od partly to the fact that she

THIS is not a situation pecul-
iar to war, but is the un
broken history of all govern
ment peacetime operation or
ownership.
Take the case of the TV A and
the federal barge line. These
government-owned business en
terprises are typical peacetime
experiments in the socialist the
ory. Both have unions of em
ployees, but maintain an open
shop, and the unions do not have
the right to strike.
TV A has about 27.000 em
ployees and a majority are
members of some trade union,
the largist being the electrical
workers. But these trade work
ers for the government do not
enjoy the same privileges as pri
vate workers in the same trade
employed by private enterprise.
In government shipyards and
arsenals, it is the same, there is
not much reason for a union.
Working wages must equal
the prevailing waces in private
yards in the vicinity and. there
fore, there can be no collective
barsaining, no strikes, no closed
shop.
Obviously then, labor should
be assuming the leadership

'X'pon employes in the fed
eral service rests the obligation
to serve the whole people,
whose interests and welfare re
quire orderliness and continuity
in the conduct of government
activities. This obligation is
paramount."
Any union man who works
for socialism then is working to
nullify his union and destroy
his existing rights. If you have
been thinking that it would be
a good post war policy for the
government to own and operate,
for Instance, U. S. Steel or Gen
eral Motors or North American
Aviation, you are really propos
ing to wipe out all the gains la
bor has made under private
management, and deny it the
right to strike or to demand pay
increases as in Germany, Italy,
Russia.
Could any more convincing
proof be offered that labor has
been misled again in this In
stance; that its real future de
pends upon maintenance of a
private profits system, and that
its real interests require it to
work for profits for manage
ment as well as itself, because
labor cannot milk a dry cow?
e e e
THE political truths of this evl-
dence are provec further by
equally convincing economic
truths.
U. S. Steel. General Motors,
and all other big or little manu
facturing business have no
wealth aside from their ability
to procure and a little cash in
the bank. If they cannot obtain
employees to do the work or
raw materials to make their pro
ducts, or if for any other reason
j such as national depression their
productivity is destroyed., their
j value evaporates. Their naked
! plants are worth only what
! some prospective purchaser may
think he can produce from
them.
Thus, as our great production
victory in this war has shown
us. the interests of labor are the
same as the management un
ity, productivity, profits. The
interests of government and the
public are served by precisely
the same purposes.
You will never find a respon
sible labor leader who hai not
known this for a long time, and
has not practiced it. except at
i such odd moments when he was

U. S. Bombing Squadron
In Middle East Hints
Second Front Opening
By Da Witt MscKensie
Wide World War Analyst
Speaking of second fronts the appearance of an American
bombing squadron in the white-hot southern Russo-German the
ater (as disclosed through the forced landing of four of our
warplanes in Turkey) is a potent reminder that Anglo-American
forces are based in the middle east ready to help the Russians.
Forced Landings i
Rereal Operations
Now that's of vast Importance
because, as I've pointed out
more than once, this area takes
in Syria, Iraq and Iran (Persia)
is one of the vital strategic zones
of the entire war. While gen
eralities are dangerous, one can
say that the side which controls
the middle east has a mighty
good grip on ultimate victory.
Not only is this territory of
military value, but it possesses
great resources. A lot of folks
believe that the garden of Eden
was somewhere here, and In any
event it Is an Eden to the de
gree that it possesses oil and
other supplies which Mother
Hubbard Hitler could do with.
This combination of military
and economic worth Is one of
the prime reasons why the nazi
all-highest is sacrificing the best
of Germany's young blood on
the altar of a pagan ambition to
conquer all out-doors.
Mora Allied Aid
Sean For Russia
London thinks the United
States has opened up a new air
front in the eastern Mediter
ranean. Maybe so, and maybe
not. One swallow doesn't make
a summer. However, It's obvi
ous that Yankee bombers went
into battle to assist the Russians,
and It's fair to assume that
other allied aid will follow.
One highly important aspect
of the middle eastern situation
is that this territory lies up
against Turkish borders, and the
allies thus are standing at Tur
key's back like big brothers, en
couraging her to remain firm In
her effort to avoid giving aid to
the Germans. The Turks are in
a delicate position, and are un
der constant pressure from Hit
ler through nazl Ambassador
Von Papen, one of the craftiest
plotters in world diplomacy and,
next to the Fuehrer, perhaps the
most dangerous German from
the standpoint of the allied
world.

HOUSE members from Wash
ington and Oregon were not in
agreement on the bill to sus
pend the tax on Imported copra
and cocoanut oil. The war de
partment needs tons of glycerin
for making explosives, and
more glycerin can be obtained
from cocoanut oil than from
peanut oil, cottonseed oil or the
oil from soybeans. OPA has
fixed a price of 11.5 cents a
pound on glycerin. The war de
partment requested that 100,000
tons of cocoanut oil be admitted,
duty free, from Islands In the
Pacific where the material can
be obtained and shipped, with
out interference from the Jap
anese. Before the war . millions - of
pounds of copra and the oil
were brought into Puget sound
and the Columbia river from
the Philippines. Five leading
soap companies have agreed to
sell glycerin to the eovemment
! and they have asked for the Im
ported cocoanut oil. From 100,
000 tons of oil 14.000 tons of
glycerin can be obtained and
war department will pay the
OPA price of 11.8 cents, or $3,
220,000. The 88.000 tons of re
sidue after the glycerin has been
removed wili go into soao.
A bitter battle against lower
ing the bars and Dermittins the
foreign cocoanut oil to enter
was made by members of the
nouse farm bloc; they contend
that all the glycerin reauired
can be obtained from domestic
vegetable oils. The house, how
ever, overwhelmingly voted to
aamu the cocoanut oil.
This is another chapter of the

to keep out vegetable oils that
