Nazi Mendacity
The unreliability of the German war reports is
attain demonstrated by the
Ten days ago the German
the capture of this strategic point. The Russians
denied it
The Germans repudiated the denial and again
stated that in spite of it, the German army WAS
in possession of this place and had been for several
days.
DUT now Berlin admits, not only that Voronezh
has NOT been captured, but the Russians are on
the offensive in that sector and the fighting has
reached terrific proportions.
This is nothing new. But
clear, that while the allies
and sometimes even deny what is true for strategic
reasons, they do not indulge deliberately in fiction,
as does the Axis.
Moreover as long as the
onezh, the German forces advancing south of it, are
in danger of being outflanked.
The situation in Russia remains serious, but as
long as Voronezh holds out, it isn't hopeless.
Why Fool With Vichy?

Why not?
The United States government still recognizes the
Vichy government as the

De Gaulle is a deserter

Why shouldn t Messrs. t,avai, Damn ana reiam
enter a vigorous protest, and call attention to the
'inadmissibility" of the United States, trying to main
tain normal and friendly relations with the French
government, and ALSO with rebels fighting to ovei
throw that government.
It just doesn t make sense.
And we feel the time has come for this government
to recognize the fact.
POR why keep up such a transparent farce?
r The French government at Vichy has been work
ing hand and glove with Germany ever since Laval
was reinstated. In fact only a few weeks ago Laval
publicly stated he hoped Germany would win.
Then what are we, the people of the United States,
in a war to the death with Germany, waiting for?
What possible good can come to this country, or
to the allied cause, by continuing this pretense of
friendliness and amity toward the Vichy government
when none exists?
And only a few weeks ago the Roosevelt adminis
tration sent another shipment of food and supplies
to the Vichy government via its French colonies!
This to the government whose active head admits he
wants Germany to win. and needless to sav. is doine-
everything in his power to see that Germany DOES.

The time has come as we see it, to break relations
with Vichy and have the honesty and the courage to
face the FACTS of this relationship as they exist.
"To bToTNoTTo Be?"
Commando raids on the trench coast are one thing.
An all-out invasion effort, quite another.
The commando raid is a "hit-and-run" sortie, with
the element of surprise a vital factor.
There could be no surprise in an invasion effort,
particularly after all these months of alarums and
rumors, and the necessary magnitude of such a
project
IT is one thing for a "corporal's guard" to creep over
some dark night, decapitate a few sentries and
blow up a munition dump or a U-boat dock and then
depart; and quite another to land a mechanized army
which, must not only crush first line resistance, but
establish permanent bridge heads, maintain commu
nications, not temporarily but permanently, and then
ADVANCE I
Yes, one doesn't need to be a high-ranking member
of the geceral staff, to appreciate the terrific risks
and dangers of doing what certainly needs to be
done, and at once:
Take the pressure off from the Red army, by an
all-out attack on Germany from the west
And there is another angle. While the desirability
of such action is unques tioned, if it SHOULD fail,
the situation would then be far more serious than if
it had never been attempted. In fact in such an event,
only a miracle could save Britain from destruction.
a a a a
CO we don't envy the allied command which un
doubtedly is considering the matter of an invasion
attempt SERIOUSLY, as the one hope of keeping
Hitler away from the liquid gold of the Caucasus.
It is certainly a case of being between the devil
and the deep-blue sea, damned if you do and fail;
damned if you don't, and the Russians do.
The decision may well determine the result of the
1942 campaign and might even decide the result of
the Second World War.

HEALTH DEPENDS
When I was a sophomore med
ical student my father, who had
no medical knowledge but was
an omnivorous
reader, used to
debate with
me on the pri
mary or essen
tial cause of
disease. He
had, a theory
of ' his own
about it, which
of course was
absurd to my
mind then. He
maint a 1 n e d
Dr. Brady that "all dis
ease begins in the stomach"
When I undertook to point out
the inadequacy of the theory by
citing typhoid fever which be
gins in the Intestine, father
would pause only briefly in his
discussion of pathology to ask
how the typhoid bacilli got into
the intestine if not from failure
of the gastric juice to destroy
them and go on from there
while I remained baffled and
silent. At times I wondered
whether medical science was
wrong about it after all, so often
did father draw me on until I
was practically supporting his
contention I, a sophomore mea
fcal student, remember.
If father were here today I
wouldn't consider his theory
that "all disease begins in the
stomach" so absurd as I did
then. In the light of our newer
knowledge of nutrition the theo
ry requires only a little editing
to make it presentable now
change the "all" to much and
the "stomach" to mouth much
disease begins in the mouth
and you have in a few words the
gist of many volumes of modern
scientific literature.
Shakespeare was as warm as
father when he put the famous
toast in the mouth of Macbeth
"Now, good digestion wait on
appetite, and health on both!'
Health does depend on good di
gestion, and good digestion de
pends on something more than
appetite. It depends on mastica
tion, and mastication of course
requires functionally efficient
teeth, either your own or your
dentist's, and on the sort of food
you masticate.
Nearly four fifths of the calo
ries, the energy. In the daily diet
normally comes from carbohy
drate material (starches and
sugars, in vegetables, cereals,
fruits, nuts) and nearly half of
the starch in such foods should
be digested by the action of the

ment In the saliva) while the
food is being masticated and for
a good half hour after it has

get back and forth across it.
There are few bridges In that
region, and the German attack
swept down both banks of the
river. In one big bend a very
large Russian force was en
trapped. It was clear, also, that if his
attack onward from Voronezh
could reach the little railroad
town of Povorlno. It would pre
sent a much more serious threat
to Timoshenko, for there his
supply route running around
through Stalingrad could be cut.
Furthermore, if the Nazi
thrust down the Don reached
Stalingrad before It spent itself,
the vital Volga oil and supply
route would be gone and noth
ing would be left except the
Astrakhan route. Even so, all
would not necessarily be lost.
While the southern army
would then be completely cut

such circumstances is widely re

Comment
From Washington. D. C
Icket Recognizes
Bad Advice
Churchill May
. Find Opposition
Cover Crop Seed
Price Increased
By John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C. July 16
It has dawned upon Harold Le
Clair Ikes, secretary of the In
terior, that he has been receiv
ing some bad advice on proposed
legislation (particularly the
Bone-Smith Columbia power
authority bill) and he would
like a new. deal in his own little
group of so-called power law
yers. The group of young law
yers, led by Abe Fortas, who
mainly wrote the CPA measure
assured the secretary that the
bill .would go through congress
with' a whoop and in almost
nothing flat the CPA would be
acquiring private utilities in
Washington. Oregon, Idaho and
elsewhere in the region with
revenue bonds. The secretary
now realizes that he placed too
much confidence' in his power
group.
Appointment and confirmation
of Abe Fortas as under-secretary
of the interior gives Ickes an
excuse to look for and select a
new keyman in his power policy
set-up. Mr. Fortas has been the
guiding genius in trying to trim
the private companies and es
tablish government control of all
power in the Pacific northwest
and adjoining states. Mr. Fortas
has, in a manner of speech, been
kicked upstairs and in his new
Job is supposed to be too busy
with other matters to major in
power as he has been doing since
he left the position of general
counsel of the bituminous coal
bureau, also under the wing of
Secretary Ickes.
The small group of lawyers
advised Ickes that "the people"
of the northwest were crying
for the CPA bill; that only the
private companies were object
ing to it; that the hearings of the
Joint congressional committee
would be followed by enact
ment of the bill sometime in
July. A warning from a friend
of the secretary on "the hill"
that these young lawyers were
balling things up was taken
with a grain of salt. Now Secre
tary Ickes has learned that his
advisers did not know what they
were talking about; that he and
the bill are being denounced by
editors, city councils, civic
groups throughout Washington
and Oregon; that "the people"
are either opposed to the bill in
whole or in part; that there
isn't a Chinaman's chance of the
Bone-Smith bill ever being
spread upon the statute books:
and, finally, that his friend "on
the hill" knew all the answers
and had forecast the mess the
young lawyers were fixing for
their boss.
...
WHAT Secretary Ickes now
desires is someone who can look
at the power of tht northwest
objectively keep his feet on the
ground and work out a policy
that will be reasonably satisfac
tory to everyone concerned: the
PUDs, the government owner
ship group, the private utilities
and the consumers who are
most vita'ly concerned. And
Secretary Ickes is not interested
in finding a lawyer to take the
place of Fortas; there are too
many young lawyers already
trying to tell him what to do on
the power question Nor does he
want anyone who has been con
nected with a private utility.
...
WINSTON Churchill, who has
had everything his own way In
the United States to date (he
reported to commons that his
greatest achievement was In get
ting the United States into the
war. for which he had planned
and worked), may not suceed In
placing American troops under
a British commander. If Amer
ican military experts are con
sulted they will veto such a plan
and will propose that wherever
American troops are used it will
be in some section or part of the
world where they will, fight
under their own officers and not
be mingled with Britain or other
United Nations forces British of
ficers, it is contended, are drawn
from the aristocracy (the old
school tie) and do not mingle
with the troops as is the custom
of American officers; nor do the
latter insist on sleeping in pyja
mas, having their tea and plenty
of sleep. Incidentally, four Ore
gon boys and three from Wash
ington are in the ordnance de
partment servicing General
Grant tanks in the desert war
fare; all former garage mech
anics. -
.
. TRIPLE A has finally announ
ced prices for cover crop seeds
grown in the northwest and
what dealers will be paid for
handling them. Growers will re
ceive a substantial increase.
This year 20 cents a pound will
be paid growers for hairy vetch
and crimson clover; last year it
was 7.25 cents. . For common
vetch, Austrian winter peas and
ryegrass the price to growers
is now 5 cents; last year 3 cents
a pound. For Willamette valley
vetch the new price to grower
is 6.S cents; was 5 cents last
year. The handling charge al
lowed dealers Is 40 cents per
100 pounds, with 45 cents for
hairy vetch and clover.
Adjustment of prices will
shortly be announced to give
relief to canners, retailers, and
wholesalers of Jelly, preserves
and Jams. Prices will be upped
ana the consumers will pay
what is estimated as the actual
increased costs to producers.
Ceiling prices on frozen vege
tables and fruit will also be lift
ed, otherwise tons of these foods
would be left to waste on the
ground.
