(Pendleton East Oregoman) Nice weather for It. The Lasien volcano, in north ern California, is the only recently-active volcano in the United States. Time To Sign Off! Mahatma Gandhi is slipping. The great non-re sistance advocate is not even consistent There was a time when he refused to fight and willingly took the consequences. Such a position was consistent and courageous. But today, with Japan country, Mahatma still refuses to fight, refuses to urge his countrymen to do so, but wants "George to do it." IN other words it is perfectly proper according to ' M. Gandhi for the British to fight and die for India, but not the East Indians themselves. Then when India has been saved the same British ers and their united nation allies, are to withdraw entirely, let the Indians have complete control of the country they (the Indians) refused to fight for, and Britain settle for all the war costs! UOW NICE! And following all this Mahatma as head of the free and independent India says he will send his non resistance amoassadors to the axis countries "not to beg for peace but show the futility of war!" IF the always reliable report the above from Gandhi's latest manifesto, it seriously. For it is more than nonsense, it is suicidal Insanity. Imagine what a condition the world would be in to day, if the Gandhi doctrine were carried out or any serious effort made in that direction. Can't you see the Mahatma's unarmed and uncloth ed envoys arguing with Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, that war doesn't pay, when as a result of war the Fascist forces have all the rubber, a large share of the oil, and the natural resources of half the "under-world"' ! (XF course in the final analysis war doesn't pay. In the same sense crime doesn't pay. But in both cases ONLY when a superior force exacts the proper penalty. Imagine the profits of crime in this country for example if Gandhi held sway and there were no FBI, no police, not even a state In precisely the same way, how war wuujLU pay, the Axis or any other brigand nations if the rest of the world followed Mr. Gandhi, put on a pair of shorts, took up weaving and preaching the beauties of non-resistance and vegetable plate! IF Mr. Gandhi wishes to retain the respect of the world and his own dignity let him do one of two things: Continue to preach brotherly love and non-resist ance .taking whatever may quences of such doctrine or Entirely abandon such a philosophy, as impractical in the world a it is today, aid the forces of law, order and decency in every possible way, and not bother about fine spun theological theories, until something approaching world peace and quiet has been restored again! Young Uncle Sam The American passion for extremes has been often commented upon in this department. Nothing at present illustrates the characteristic more graphically than war-comments of the day in the vicinity of cur own Haymarket bquare. With the British now turning on Kommel, and.ior the second day driving back the Nazi legions, once more the battle in North Africa is locally all over, and again the British have WON. WHEN the battle in Libya first started there was a similar .iiirimiem hnsoH unnn a nimilnr situation. Rommel attacked first, thrust the British cut off suiTOunded large forces, took many prisoner?) as ford recently, demonstrated. Then Rommel, the fox. sprung that tank trap, there was a sudden change in the battle, Tobruk fell and the German "desert fox" started hell-bent for Alexandria. IMMEDIATELY our Haymarket military experts, went bait-hook-and-sinker over to the other ex treme. The African war again was over only Ger many not the British this time had won. Alexandria was as good as captured, the Nile val Ipv nvptnin nnd Rupz cone! Perhans Iran and Iraa could be saved, more likely lie forced by circumstances to join the Axis. What's wrong with those British anyway! So it went and goes on again, off again, Finne gan! MOTHIXG to particularly bother about, There are disadvantages to extremes but advantages also. The nation, or the individual, incapable of them, works under a genuine handicap, in gaining high places. But the sudden changes those who wuh to keep their heads and hopes on something akin to an even keel, in this man's war. LIOWEVER as we see it there is no hope of chang- ing the situation. A certain volatility and inten sity of temperament in an youth's excessive vitality.

WHAT PRICE ON At one army camp where 4000 men were training (In New Zealand), writes Hallett Abend in "Ramparts of tha Pacific, I was shown dental charts, E x t r a e- tlons since in duction Into service had averaged more than ona per man, and 34 per cent of all those 4000 young men had d n t a 1 Dr. Brady pUtea of one size or another ..It is very common thing for boys and girls seventeen and eighteen years of age to have complete sets of false teeth. Perhaps for all the fertility of its farm and the amazing production of dairy products there may be a serious soil deficiency in New Zealand. (Published by Doubleday, Dor an and Co-, Inc. '42.) Something wrong with that. Can It be that the correspon dent's theory of deficiency In the New Zealand soil is un sound? Evidently the New Zea land soil is fertile enough to support an "amazing production of dairy products." Although the country tro- duces more butter than it can ship or consume, remarks Mr. Abend, the hotels in New Zea land will not serve butter with dinner In the evening. Therein lies a possible ex planation of the physical degen eration of New Zealanders-they ship their dairy products out of the country and restrict the amount of dairy products In the every day diet Mr. Abend and others Interested In the subject would find much to think about in the book "Nutrition and Phy sical Degeneration" by Weston Price, D. D. S. Studies of character of the diet of peoples In many parts of the world, civilized, semi-civil-lzed and savage, and the condi tion of their teeth and their physical vitality, made by Dr. Price and his associates, strong ly confirm the belief our physi cal health or vlte depends on the condition and development of teeth and Jaws and both de pend on nutrition- This teaching I have harped on for many years. But I fear most of the dentists, not to men tion the doctors, reject the teaching or dismiss it as of no significance because I dissent News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Paaa Ona) divisions at time In the narrow approaches to the fortress. lie fought three divisions until they were exhausted or too de pleted to fight. Then he with drew those divisions and put in three more, and so on. All the time the Germans were pulverizing the Russian fixed defenses with their over-sized siege guns, firing at almost point blank range. The concus sion from the shells of tnese guns alone is said to be almost enough to put the ordinary sol dier out of action. The Russians used naval ves sels, moored In the forked har bor of Sevastopol, as artillery. These naval guns fired over the heads of the defenders into the German lines. Every Russian defender In his pillbox or behind his rock, stayed there until the end. There was no retreat and so surrend er. The city Itself, honeycombed with underground shelters and munitions factories caned out of the soft rock was finally pulverized after the nazis fought close enough to shell it with their heavy artillery. The Rus sians still fought as the rock crumbled over them. The defenders of Sevastopol knew they would eventually be overwhelmed, but they never showed it in their last-ditch re sistance. a a a tyHILE the Russian land ar ' mies are the only ones which have been able to stand up againtt Hitler's toughies so far. the Chinese alone have shown the ability to hold out against the Japs. The main difference between Russian and Chinese resistance to the axis is that the Russians are fairly well equipped with all modern weapons of war, while the Chinese have nothing but small arms which they make therr.elves. The Chinese have I r.ntirslly no artillery few We were Just beginning to get Brady. M. D. E GOOD TOOTH? from the half-baked notion that the practice of brushing the teeth is what conserves them.

Calif. the Chinese equipped with the tools of war they needed when the Burma road was closed. Now there is no practical way of getting help in to them, al though they are fighting on. The Chinese, like the Rus sians, have two things in their favor against the axis armies. They have unlimited manpower, and a vast territory well suited to a fluid defense. The Russians defend in depth. They let the concentrated Ger man drives go through and close in behind and chew up the armored thrusts. This has forced Hitler to adopt a shorter, inch ing attack. a a a THE Chinese have not the heavy weapons to stop the well equipped Jap troops, but they close in behind the same way, using guerilla tactics by which they are taking heavy toll of the Japs. When a Chinese army is lick ed It dissolves into thin air. The soldiers become peasants and farmers. Then they become guer illas and the fighting behind the lines goes on. The Chinese, in using this de fense, have of necessity had to give up much territory, as have the Russians. The Japs have now captured every air base in the so-called Invasion area in east em China Chekiang province. They have occupied the rail ways in this area. They have made themselves secure from air attack from this area, but they have not licked the Chi nese. The Japs probably will not try to continue their drive west into China. Their spearheads of attack could go through but the Chinese would flow in be hind them, continue Guerilla warfare and hamper their com munications. The Chinese have probably lost 9.000.000 casualties in the last five or six years, but they are fighting on until the time when we can get weapons in to them. When they get the air craft and artillery, they will be able to start an effective atuck on the occuping Japs, but not before.

Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C Holman's-Home In Line Of Fire Oregon Does Well In Rubber Drive Price of Log Being Argued By Jotua W. Kellr Washington, D. C, July 8 One of the shells which whang ed away on the coast of Clatsop county landed and exploded al most 1,000 feet from the home of Rufus Holman, junior senator from Oregon, at Gearhart. The senator busied himself on the wire, being a member of the mil itary affairs committee, and telegraphed Gen. "Hap" Arnold why the northwest coast was not better guarded. The senator, it appears, made a check-up on the aerial defenses and he wanted to know where were the observa tion and other planes supposed to be stationed in that region. His own investigation was poor ly rewarded. The war depart ment replied with a many-worded message couched in such careful language that it told the senator nothing. Senator Holman wondered why, with the submarine bom bardment continuing for 30 min utes, patrol planes did not ap pear from Tongue Point, in the estuary of the Columbia. With a 24-hour alert, engines warmed up, planes from Tongue Point could have been dropping eggs on the submarine in two min utes. Nor were planes from Portland or Pendleton brought to the scene. Nor could the senator learn that any planes from McChord field or Everett looked for the submarine off Vancouver island. 1 Suspicion is that all the avail able air force In the Pacific northwest had been sent to the Alaskan theater of war where it is said that the Japanese are so certain of holding their Aleutian foothold that they are planting potatoes at Klska. a a a A LARGE appropriation ap proved by the house for a lab oratory for the northwest, where power from Grand Cou leeand or Bonneville can be used, has already started an un- der-cover contest between the states to see where the labora tory shall be located. Advan tages of the region east of the Cascades Is being championed by certain of the Washington delegation and communities, while Oregon is putting forth its claims. As the laboratory will be a permanent institution and not a duration enterprise It Is worth fighting for. A GOOD showing has been ; made by Oregon and Washing j ton In the rubber scrap drive I sponsored by President Roose- velt, but the nation as a whole has fallen down. Nor has all the waste rubber been collected in the northwest states. For ex ample, dozens of people have been writing to the national cap ital suggesting a pick-up service which would make the rounds of farms, etc., and gather the old tires and what-not. Good sources of old rubber, writes one man in the lumber business for 50 years, are the logging camps and saw mills. He says there are 731 logging camps in Washing ton and 1.285 in Oregon; in Washington there are 497 saw mills and 685 in Oregon. Here, he writes are 3.196 places which have used tires lying around rea- New Tires in Scrap Rubber Heap r . , . .v t ."'."'-V-. fM .-"rS J -v ,. 1 ... . :L L . . y.

OPA official, Shelley, tire company manager In tha city, said he turaad over against OPA calling prices on repaired used Urea. dy for someone to come and ' pick them up. I Thus far the old rubber col lected is insufficient for the ' needs of the armed forces, with nothing for the United Nations (which United States is supposed to supply) nor anything for civ ilian demands. The rubber situ ation is worse than originally surmised and while every effort will be made to provide means of transportation for workers in war industries, the prospect of what it implies for this country to be deprived of cars is causing apprehension. The effect on the morale of the domestic scene when 60,000,000 or more people are handicapped with no means of transportation la disquieting. In a desperate attempt to ov ercome the rubber shortage the government is endeavoring to expedite the production of syn thetic rubber or plastics and is Impatiently awaiting the results of dandelion, goldenrod and oth er plants which yield something like rubber. A dozen different processes are claimed for syn thetic rubber but only a few have received encouragement from war production board. The one principal hope is that Amer ican Ingenuity will discover something that will provide tires. a a a THERE are three different groups arguing over the price of logs in the northwest states. There is a differential favorable to Washington mills and certain of the Oregon loggers resent this. Washington loggers reply that the differential was estab lished by the loggers many years ago without any govern ment suggestion. Saw mill men, particularly in the plywood industry, do not want the price of logs increased, and saw mill operators not man ufacturing plywood say that if the log price goes up it will be necessary to ask more from the consumer, which would auto matically curb the market. This is the controversy which the of fice of price administation is try ing to straighten out.

DEPOSIT RECORD FOR U. S. NATIONAL The United States Comptrol ler's call on the nation's banks for statement of condition as of June 30 marked an epoc period so far as Oregon Is concerned in that the first time in the his tory of the state, one of its banks showed deposits in excess of 200-million dollars. The bank reaching this mark is the United States National which maintains one of its im portant branches in this city. Its statement showed deposits standing at $208,105,063.48 and resources at $220,822,120.93. Deposits at the corresponding date a year ago were $177,090, 911.27, a gain of over 31-mil-lion dollars. Highest previous mark ever recorded by the United States National was the call April 4, 1942 when de posits were $197,112,447.19, or approximately 11-milllor.s less than at this time 3 months later.
