If the war keepi up the
American standard of living
will be reduced to eating, sleep
ing and working, a high govern
mental official foresees. At one
time or another the average citi
zen has been hustled to do all
these three things regularly.
Tha Prime Minister of Aus
tralia sang the blues and hit
high C with gusto in his last
speech. He vlsioned the United
Nations losing afloat and

melancholic when he had been
so gay about victory the week
before, puzzled commentators.
There was a clue, however.
Australians, It seems, were not
buying war bonds fast enough,
one could read between the
lines.

Why Does Churchill Return?
The big news today is the second visit of Prime
Minister Churchill to the White House, and the third
war meeting of the two leaders of the Anglo-American
world.
Why has such a meeting been called?
. The most popular answer is the establishment of
the much-publicized "second front." What more
natural than that Messrs. Churchill and Roosevelt,
the former a world war veteran, the latter a former
Secretary of the Navy, should work out the final
and complex details.
flELL mebbe so.
There is no doubt this problem will be discussed.
But what problem of the war, WON'T be?
It is only a guess, of course.
But we doubt if any allied invasion of Europe from
the west, will be first on the agenda.
A continuation and accentuation of the air-blitz,
yes. But our o7n belief is any all-out attack via the
channel, will wait until the atmosphere in the Middle
Fast has cleared materially.
THERE is no doubt Mr. Churchill wishes to give
Russia every assistance. But there is also no doubt
that with him, and with every Britisher, the safety of
the Suez canal comes first.
Our guess, therefore is, No. 1 on the Washington
program, will be how the United States can most
effectively aid Britain along the shores of the Medi
terranean. And of course in this direction, as in every
other, the big problem will be transportation.
What Is Problem No. I?
In fact here is the big problem of World War No.
2, the bottle-neck of all bottle-necks.
Not how to produce the goods, but how to get those
goods to the front
It is our belief the problem of supply of war
production, has been solved, and Uncle Sam has
solved it
The old gentleman with the chin whiskers has not
only done what it was hoped he could do, but far
more. The results indeed have been nothing short 01
miraculous.
UT producing the planes, the guns and the soldiers
is ONE thine. Uettine them where they will De
n.ost effective is. quite ANOTHER.
And it is this department's pious hunch that this
all-vital matter of transportation and distribution,
will be the theme-song 01 this meeting jno. 6, running
ns a f nnstant. refrain throuo-h all the discussions, and
the success of every proposal depending, to a greater
or less extent, upon it.
VES, saving the Suez may well be the first consider-
ation, for the danger there appears most acute;
aid to Russia by a second air, and perhaps ultimately
land, front, might well come next with the defense
of India a close third; but before everything, and
running through everything, will come transportation
and the U-Boat menace.
With the sinking of merchant ships constantly in
creasing, with the convoy system becoming more and
more hazardous, particularly in the Mediterranean
and Arctic, there is little doubt "Winnie" and
"F.D.R." over their old Scotch and cigarets, will burn
the most midnight oil, on the problem, NOT of pro
ducing material and manpower but of getting both
on the other side of the Atlantic and Pacific and up
to the battle front
In this direction we venture the guess that huge
air freighters and long range fighters to protect them,
will not be overlooked 1

Just Like Los Angeles!
Some local defense factotum in the Los Angeles
area deplores Secretary Stimson's statement that the
U. S. victory at Midway removes, temporarily at least,
any danger of a west coast Japanese invasion. Such
a statement will impair defense morale he thinks.
That's just like Los Angeles 1
They have become so dependent upon artifice and
make-believe and general Hollywood hocos-pocus
down there, they can't imagine any community be
having itself with vigor and dispatch, unless there
is a continuous and entirely spurious "build-up!"
WHY SHOULDN'T the Secretary of War tell the
truth?
Since the result of that Midway clash has been
kno'in, practically every recognized military and
naval authority in the country, has emphasized this
same cheering fact
Why deny it, or try to camouflage it?
f ANT our fellow countrymen in the grease-paint
belt, conceive of maintaining a high morale, with
out sending some Dracula out to scare all the school
children by day, and shouting "boo" with a Japanese
accent every night?
"THERE is plenty in the situation as it exists, breth-
ern, with token air-raids along the coast by Japan
even more likely than before this devastating loss of
face, without asking the populace to look under the
bed every night, and put on a pair of false whiskers
and a flowered kimona every morning.
Instead of being criticized for this reassuring and
forthright declaration the level-headed and capable
Secretary of War should be highly commended.
We have sufficient REAL dangers to fight, without
wasting time and energy conjuring up synthetic ones!

toss It As You Gained It
Of the nine out of a hundred
fat folk who
are "going on
a diet" next
week two go
on a diet Of
the two who
begin dieting
one gives it up
after the first
three or four
days. The
other, alas,
geta nowhere,
because the
Dr. Brady diet is calcu
lated to get you nowhere ex
cept In a sanitarium or under
the care of a doctor.
Fundamental fault with most
reducing diets is that they are
designed to reduce REGARD
LESS. A safe and sound reducing
diet must be designed not only
to reduce but also to maintain
whatever degree of GOOD
HEALTH and GOOD LOOKS
the individual happens to have.
In a crude way of viewing the
question, there are two possible
methods of controlling or reduc
ing overweight or obesity or ex
cessive displacement. One way
is by simple starvation. The
other way is by correcting the
underlying fault or error of nu
trition which accounts for the
accumulation o f superfluous
flesh.
Most popular reducing diets
act, if at all, in the first way.
The only safe and sound, physi
ological reducing regimen, diet
or system an intelligent person
should follow Is one designed
to take care of GOOD HEALTH
and GOOD LOOKS as well as
to correct the underlying fault
of nutrition.
Such a physiological reducing
regimen, of course, includes
more than Just regulation of
food intake. It Includes at least
a reasonable regulation of
energy expenditure, too, that is,
regulation of metabolism or the
oxidation, the combustion pro
cess in the body. This means
the diet must be supplemented
with additional vitamins, and
the Individual must get a cer
tain amount of exercise in one
way or another every day.
Whatever vain dreams i-'
overnight reduction to .ylnhlike
loveliness the dumbbell custo
mer of the "Hollywood" hokum
may have, the first thing the in
telligent individual who intends
to reduce should understand is
that it is DANGEROUS to health
and DESTRUCTIVE to good
looks to reduce, by any method
or means, faster than two or
three pounds a week. As a rule
a steady loss of IVi to 2 pounds
a week Is most likely to prove
satisfactory In all respects.
Nearly always, when there Is a
loss of much more than two or
three pounds in a week, the vic
tim shows a corresponding Im
pairment of vite and health and
geneally a shocking loss of good
looks.
Moreover, If the health Is not
too seriously damaged, the ex
cessive loss of weight, if not the
loss of good looks, is nearly re
stored in the weeks following,
when the severe restrictions of
diet are relaxed. On the other
hand, when reduction occurs at
the rate of two to three pounds
a week, on a physiological re
ducing regimen, the individual
usually feels better, looks better
and thereafter finds it easier to
maintain the improved nutri
tional condition and keep the
weight down.

Hot Fluihes
Wonderful relief from hot flushes

Pineapple .
Having- lrmg depended on pineap
ple (canned) for vitamin O for our
children we wonder what we can find
to take lis place tn the diet. We
understand the government has re
served the entire output of pineap
ple for Federal use. (M. O. 8.)
Answer The government has re
served only 19 of the 1943 peck of
Hawaiian pineapple. There will con
tinue to be approximately tha same
supply of canned pineapple ae ever.
Canned pineapple Is an excellent
source of vitamin C. nearly as good
as fresh citrus fruit or Juice, rlched
than factory canned tomst or to
mato Juice. Small glassful (about fl
ounces) of canned pineapple Juice
yields over 100 units of vitamin A.
over 300 units of vitamin C. about
100 unite vitamin B, yields about 100

Frozen Burlap
To Be Thawed
Plaint Continue
On Union Tribute
WPA Dismissals
Start in July
By John W. gaily
Washington, D. C, June 19
There is such a demand for bur
lap from the agricultural reg
ions of the northwest that war
production board has changed
its policy and will permit Com
modity Credit corporation to buy
the frozen burlap and make it
available to farmers. There is a
limited amount cf burlap in
the United Staates and one of
the first things WPB did was to
freeze it; take It out of circula
tion: But WPB has not consid
ered the fanners who have de
pended on burlap for their crops
since Hec was a pup.
Sheepmen need the burlap to
sack wool: wheat men who do
not warehouse the grain in bulk
use burlap: hop men have never
used anything else. Growers of
commercial potatoes have found
a substitute, but use burlap
whenever possible. Here are
four important cash crops of
the northwest, all demanding
burlap. Drives have recently
been started In that area to col
lect used burlap bags but with
Indifferent success. Action by
WPB came in time to furnish
the burlap for this season,

CONGRESSIONAL represen
tatives from Washington state,
in testifying before the Joint
committee hearings on the Co
lumbia Authority bill, suc'.i as
Representatives Jackson. Coffee.
Smith. Senate Bone, etc., made
the point that in the original
Bonneville act congress gave a
mandate to the people of the
northwest to go in for public
power. The Bonneville act gives
preference to public bodies up
to SO per cent of available pow
er, efli) which the a-iif'tra-tor
can make coutracu for pow
er with private utility com
panies and persons. Represen
tative Dondero of the committee
inquired of W. A. Dittmer, chief
of Bonneville planning and mar
keting divisions, whether he re
garded Bonneville and Grand
Coulee as such a mandate, to
which Dittmer replied that "we
regard tt as being up to the peo
ple". Representative Smith in
terjected that "where the people
haven't adopted public power
Bonneville has made no effort
to put public power ownership
over".
Representative Pierce la the
only Oregon congressman to ap
pear and champion the Colum
bia Power Authority measure.
Representative Angell, also of
Oregon, is a member of the
committee. Last month's defeat
of PUD elections in Oregon, in
view of the "mandate" stressed
by the Washington members, has
been brought out yet. :

WHY the United States Is
building the "prairie route" to
Alaska, which cannot be of ser-!
vice to the northwest for it
would be easier to take In sup
plies from Chicago than from
the Pacific coast, continue to
occupy the attention of a spe
cial senate Investigation. Testi
mony of western legislators, en
gineers, the Alaska highway
commission and the Internation
al highway commission all was
to the effect that the present
project should be stopped and
the long proposed route along
the coast be started instead.
Testimony further shows that
the war department, under or
ders from someone, began the
prairie route without a survey.
Engineers are already In trouble
with the muskeg swamp, a bot
tomless affair, on the prairie
route. Attack by Japanese on
the Aleutians is not being over
looked as an argument for the
coast route.
COMPLAINTS continue to be
received from war industries
and citizens who protest against
being compelled to pay a fee to
Join a union before they can get
a government Job, and paying
duos thereafter. War department
says it has nothing to do with
this arrangement: that it is an
understanding between the con
tractor and the unions, and
wajhes its hands of the whole
matter, Contrai'trrs f.".y they
do not want any labor trouble .
