Will Hitler Rule?
"To the editor
As one of the first newspapers in tha state to vigorously
oppose isolationism, and maintain a sane, realistic view
of the war and dangers of totalitarianism aren't you devi
ating from your established course by predicting what is
going to happen after the war? How can you or any one
else know anything about it, until you know which side is
going to win? It looks to me as though you are assuming a
lot and indulging in one of your favorite aversions "wish
ful thinking". It seems to me the less we speculate about
what is going to happen after this war, and the more we
CONCENTRATE ON WINNING it the better for all con
cerned. For certainly what is going to be the program
after this conflict ends depends entirely upon which side
wins, and from the reports I get from some of my friends
in the East, a United Nations victory isn't certain by any
means. My point is not that so much, however, as to chide
you for falling into the error you so like to condemn, that
of overconfidence, Which breeds a sense of false security
and thus weakens the war effort."
C. A. Jaynea, Ashland, Oregon.
Well mebbe so.
But we have no doubt and never have had as to
the EVENTUAL outcome of World War No. 2.
We have had doubts, and still have them, regard
ing the TIME it may take to rid the world of Hitler
ism. Rut that he. or his kind, will ever rule this lone-
suffering planet, (and failure to decisively defeat the
Axis would mean precisely that,) just isn't in the
cards, aa we view them.
IT would be against NATURE!
We would in fact as soon expect to see water
run nnhill. the sun rise in the west, or P. J. Neff vote
the Republican ticket straight, as see this cataleptic
paper-hanger and his breed, control the goings and
comings or this revolving cosmos.
If that adds up to overconfidence, OK we will have
to plead guilty. But in our judgement it adds up to
little more than sanity a rational faith, and common
s-jnse. , .
We TAN conceive of the allies not winning the
overwhelming decisive victory that every right-thinking
person prays for. But we CAN'T conceive of the
allies sustaining either a decisive or in any sense a
lasting defeat.
SO occasional speculations regarding what should
be done, when the inability of the Axis to defeat
the forces of democracy and decency, has become an
established FACT, appeal to this department as en
tirely in order, and rendering the liklihood of a WISE,
post-war adjustment, more probable, rather than less
so. ...
We grant it is all in the realm of conjecture.
Rut n faith that organized, treachery, cruelty and
evil will NEVER triumph for long in this day and age
and in the present stage of human development, does
NOT strike us as being an assumption that is unwar
ranted or unsupporteed by the history and experiences
of the past
Must History Repeat Itself?
Those who oppose any attempt to establish a world
organization to outlaw war or those who believe it
can't be done might profitably consider the alter
nstiv6 For if a determined effort is NOT made at the
close of this war, to put down gangster nations, just
as we now put down individual gangsters WITHIN a
nntinn. tViMi there will be no more REAL peace at the
close of World War No. 2 than there was at the close
of World War No. 1. Which was none at all.
In fact history will cynically repeat itself. The
fiehtine will stop; the old time-honored struggle for
supremacy WONT. . , . ,
AND the interval between War No. 2 and No. 6 will
be merely a time allowance sufficient to that re
covery in strength which will persuade the losers
that the time has come for revenge, and the inevitable
and glorious come-back.
For that is unrestrained nationalism ana numan
nature.
THERE are those, of course, who believe some
form of international police force or force of
any kind will not be necessary. Instead of that "the
workers of the world will unite", regardless of creed,
natural resources will be pooled and redistributed,
so that there will be no privileged or underprivileged
nations, no "ins" or "outs", just one big happy family,
with all reasonable material desires satisfied and
therefore no point in fighting to gain MORE.
IfELL such a "millenium" may be the final out
come. Stranger things have probably happened.
But as we see it, a period of force will have to come
first.
In fact force undoubtedly will be just as necessary
to maintain peace between nations as it is now, and
always has been, to maintain peace between individ
uals within a nation.
Only philosophical anarchists will deny that
only those who believe the human race has reached a
point of development, where no laws or restrictions
backed by compulsion are necessary. It seems to us
the fallacy of this assumption is fairly obvious from
pole to pole at the present time!
But with such a force, granted greater power than
any possible or probable gangster or outlaw
FORCE, this column can see no good reason why
wars on a large scale should not become as rare well
as rare, as armed uprisings within the nations are
today.
And they are rare, though not unknown.
So wars would become rare though not unknown.
Not a heaven on earth, but certainly a vast improve
ment over the "status quo" and the "status quo ante !"

serve power to tide over emer
gencies and strains of resilency
oi tne untamed animal or the
primitive savage.
Altho insufficient daily Intake
oi vitamin u complex is re
sponsible for this lack of "tone"
or vite in most instances, in my
opinion, still it is certain that
other nutritional deficiencies
contribute to the below-par
state or functional weakness In
some Instances, notably calcium
deficiency in childhood and early
youth, and iron deficiency in the
third and fourth decades. It
should be obvious, therefore,
that it may be necessary to cor
rect these other nutritional defi
ciencies, as well as the B com
plex deficiency, in order to
build or store vite in such cases.
In fact I believe some vitamin D
(essential for normal calcium
metabolism) is nearly always
needed to supplement the diet of
the child and youth, especially
through the fall, winter and
spring seasons and even through
the summer if the child or youth
for any reason does not enjoy
regular exposure of naked body
to sunlight.
Theoretically the general nu
tritional deficiency of the Amer
ican people might be prevented,
if not as readily cured, if the
people Included in their daily
diet more liberal amounts or
proportions of the "protective"
foods such as milk, cheese,
eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits
foods called "protective" be
cause they contain considerable
amounts of the vitamins and
minerals required to correct the
shortage in the ordinary refined
diet. But practically this solu
tion of the problem Is not so
good as it may sound when re
cited by the self-constituted diet
or health authority who sounds
off about the "vitamin craze".
Referring to his Prof. Geo. R.
Cowgill of Yale, In a report to
the Council on Foods of the
American Medical Association
(J. A. M. A. Dec. S, '39) said that
in order to secure the 950 inter
national units of -vitamin B.
which has been lost during the
past century as a result of re
finement in milling wheat, one
would be forced to consume tre
mendous and Impossible quan
tities of . these particular "pro
tective foods", and cites the
estimates made by Prof. Norman
Jolliffee that one would have;
to consume a daily combination!
of 625 Gm. of fruit, 600 Cm. of ,
potatoes, 880 Gm. of other vege
tables and 1,260 cc. of milk. (A
pound is equivalent to about 4S3
Gm and a pint is equivalent to
about 473 cc.)

THE only way to keep war in
dustry workers getting to and
from their jobs is to take over
all non-essential tires. This
statement is made by a member
of the rubber division of war
production board and is con
strued as a warning that the gov
ernment will be confiscating, for
a price, all tires regarded as not
essential to war effort. Reports
from the northwest Indicate that
the transportation problem is
daily becoming more serious and
that provision must be made to
take care of the workers, and
that present employment will be
largely expanded under new war
orders.

How can I avoid eyestrain (W. If.)
Answer Least strain on eyea If the
light on work comes from above and
source of light Itself Is not visible
as you tit or stand at work. If in
any doubt about your eyes have eye
examination by physician and wear
whatever glasses or goggles the phy
sician recommends, at least while at

Smoking
Would constant cigarette smoking
affect a child four years old? She
seems extremely nervous. We live In
small apartment, and her father
smokes cigarettes constantly and the
smoke filled atmosphere Is not much
cleared by ventilation. (Mrs. R- T. E.)
Answer Effect is the same as tho
the child herself smoked some. By
exercise of a little ingenuity It
should be possible to get enough
ventilation (thru window snd door)
to carry the smoke out of the room.
This time of year the child or the
smoker should be In the open air
much of the time anyway.
Garlic and Parsley
Will you kindly have Dr. Wm.
Brady state his opinion of the use of
sarllc and parsley for High Blood
Pressure. It has been recommended
to me by different Doctors. (O. M.)
Answer Fortunstely we caugnt
the evaslv Doctor lust as he was
sneaking out the back way to the
bowling green. He seemed Inclined
to feel a bit frustrated about It. Then
he patted us on the shoulder. "Son."
he said. In the gentle, fatherly way.

Son, It Is absurd for nign oioou

you can't do anything about it un
less you determine what alls the pat

condition requires." With that he
delivered a playful k. I. t. p. and hied i
himself off to his game.

Washington, D. C, June 28
W) Captured by Japanese
are scores of residents of Idaho,
Oregon and ashington; - they
belong in dozens of towns from
Grants Pass to Boise. Little is
known of their fate, but they
have dependents and it is the
dependents who are under con
sideration by congress. These
men in the hands of the Japa
nest were laborers on govern,
ment projects on WaVe and
Guam islands, but they were on
the payroll of private contract
or. This Is one angle of several
dealing with the problem of
what the federal government
should do to assist civilians who
are Injured or have property
damage during the war. For
weeks tile subject has been un
der discussion one group will
ing to do anything to aid the
civilians and the other endeav
oring to cut down all expenses.
Broadly speaking, the propos
al is to pay from $30 to $80 a
month to civilians who have re
ceived one-third disability and
the disability is permanent: to
pay compensation to dependents
held by the enemy overseas ( a tors. War department has taken
will make an estimate of the
civilians who would be injured
in this country if token bombs
are dropped. With not even a
hazy guess as to the number any
appropriation would be a guess.
But, it is observed, if more
money is required because of un
expected casualties congress
can be asked for another ap
propriation. For the dependents of labor
ers who are prisoners of war ,
the proposal is to pay 68.3 per
cent of their compensation at the
time of capture, but not in ex
cess of $118. There is less oppo
sition to helping the depend
ents than extending compensa
tion to air raid wardens and
plain civilians.
Injuries sustained in practice
blackouts is another point of con
troversy. In almost every black
out in the northwest there has
been someone Injured more or
less and in California several
individuals have died of fright.
Hot disagreement has arisen as
to whether an injury in a prac
tice Dlackout can be blamed on
the government. As for air war
dens and other in civilian de
fense who might be injured in
a blackout, the argument still
rages.
The one-third disability is in
tended to classify the injury as
serious, and a sprained ankle or
cut hand cannot qualify. Pay
ments would be made for a per
iod not exceeding five years
after the war. Considering that
the Pacific northwest is in a
target area, the legislation is of
particular interest to residents
of that region.
SHEEPMEN and cattlemen
with permits or licenses to graze
their stock in national foreests
or public domain are being
shoved around by army air force
and are appealing to their sen-
(this includes Alaska as well as
Wake and Guam; to remuner
ate merchant sailors, such as
are injured if a submarine tor
pedoes their ship. All agree that
this is a new venture fos the
United States and there is little
to guide the way, with the ex
ception of the experience of the
British. Since the war started.
