Again "Too Laid
It is not only a pity but a crime,
And this indictment extends from low to high, to
both parties and practically all governmental types.
We hardly needed the following from a close
friend and keen observer in the national capital, but
it does eliminate any doubts or hopes we may
have had :
"Since you left the situation has deteriorated appall
ingly. There is a lot of lip-service to the vigorous pursuit
of the war and universal self-sacrifice, but the dominant
spirit here is nothing but self-interest, POLITICAL self
interest. Not what SHOULD be, and to win MUST be,
done, but what will be popular with the voters. And I can
see no material change in this shameful situation until tha
November elections are over. I suppose this has been true
in all wars, but never before, I feel, will the probable con
sequences be so tragic. I can actually see Uncle Sam slid
ing down the hill to a precipice, and no one willing to risk
a skinned knee to stop him. I can't help but wonder if
future historians will really get the true picture in the sum
mer of 1942, if they do the indictment of the powers-that-be,
both executive and legislative, in this period of World
War No. 2 will be unbelievably damning."
We have had that same impression for some time,
the above as far as we are concerned merely remov
ing all doubt of it.
Yet we believe our communicant, is right when he
opines a similar condition has prevailed in all our
wars.
It is, we fear, the price that a free democracy must
pay when forced to change overnight, so to speak,
to a war economy.
THE only escape we can see would have been to
have followed the American Legion suggestion
and when war was declared, conscripted capital and
labor for an all-out war effort, declaring at the same
time a moratorium on national legislative action and
partisan politics.
But today, of course, for any drastic change of that
sort, it is too late !
Rickenbacker Versus Kaiser
We believe Eddie Rickenbacker is right when he
tells the senate sub-committee, called to investigate
the Kaiser cargo-plane problem, it would "be better
to construct such planes in airplane factories rather
than ship yards.
We should say there is
ship and airplane construction, there is between con
structing a steam shovel and a watch.
.The latter must be precision-tooled to the nth
degree, with only an infinitesimal error allowance,
while the former can, relatively speaking, be turned
out with the eyes shut, and
pocket.
However there might be a division of labor pro
gram set up whereby the idle ship yards might turn
out the cargo-plane bodies, and the airplane factories
the engines.
Whatever the final arrangement we believe it a
fairly safe wager that before the summer is over some
practical plan to turn out air SHIPS that will solve
the U-boat menace, will be perfected, and going
under a forced draft
That is one department

OK Ml Goebbels
Ok, let Herr Goebbels have his sneer regarding
the Yankee troops with their "golf clubs and their
tennis bats."
Germany has been to date, from a sporting stand
point, in the fortunate position of a trained prize
fighter, put in the ring with a tired business man,
who hasn't had a glove on since he quit High School.
DUT wait a bit Paul! This isn't a six-round bout,
" this is a fight to the finish." And it isn't an evening
affair but a performance
years in fact
Of course the trained German army had a tremend
ous advantage at the start and still has. But this much
is certain. It isn't as invincible as it was two years
ago, and it is getting weaker all the time, while the
opposition and particularly the United States is doing
the exact reverse, getting stronger with every tick
of the clock.
As for those golf clubs and tennis bats, again
speaking from the standpoint of sports, don't over
look morale and the importance of over-training.
X7E don't doubt the efficiency of the German army,
" or the high quality of its technical leadership,
but,
In a FINISH fight, we will put our money on the

FOR SUMMER COMPLAIN
Acute diarrhea without pain,
cramps or vomiting, in infants,
or adults, is generally due to
Improper food
and may be
treated safely
with (1) an im
mediate dose
of fresh castor
oil and (2) a
fast from all
food until the
castor oil has
swept out the
irritating o r
improper food
residues from
the intestinal tract. From one
to two teaspoonfuls is the dose
of castor oil for an infant; from
one to three tabtespoonfuls for
an adult.
Hold on now, kids. We're
coming to you. The castor oil
Is for infants or grownups in
fants don't seem to mind taking
It and grownups dare not make
a fuss about it even If they hate
the stuff. But you and I, kids,
have a succedaneum for castor
oil that is, a substitute which
is not at all unpleasant to take
and will serve the purpose as
well as castor oil can. Better
write this down, kids, or clip it
and keep- it, against the day
when some one gets tough with
you about taking castor oil. Then
you can just smile, bring out
this item and tell 'em the succe
daneum Is guaranteed by 01' Doc
Brady to do everything for you
that castor oil can do. The name
of it is Aromatic Syrup of Rhu
barb, or, as the U. S. Pharmaco
poeia has it, Syrups Rhei Aro
maticus, or, as some of our best
old grandmas called It, Spiced
Syrup of Rhubarb. The dose of
Aromatic Syrup of Rhubarb is
the same as the dose of castor oil
for the same purpose.
For older children or adults
the best treatment, following
the preliminary cathartic, la a
fast of 12 hours, and then only
some tea, without milk or cream,
but sweetened or not as prefer
red, for the next 12 hours.
For the young Infant or child
the Ideal diet is very weak tea
slightly sweetened with sugar
and all the scraped raw apple
the Infant or child will take.
This diet has proved most satis
factory in the treatment of acute
summer complaint, acute diar
rhea, acute gastro-enteritis in
babies, more particularly the
raw scraped apple, and its value

Europe and Asia, in collabora

With enough oil, wheat, tin,
rubber and other raw materials,
he might logically expect to
maintain Indefinitely a defen
sive strategy of warfare until
such time as we are able to
invade the continent of Europe
and destroy him (a hope which
will require greater and greater
mustering of power by us as
Russia weakens, and each day
passes.)
e e e
A NYONE who expects the war
" to be over this year or next
year must now begin to take
these matters into consideration.
If Hitler ever gets full pos
session of Europe and Asia, the
required scheme of attack upon
the United States is obvious.
We may be too remote geo
graphically and too strong mili
tarily for invasion, but we will
certainly face a typical Hitler
effort to promote revolution
within.
No doubt all Nazi cunning
will be devoted to promoting
subtle disunity and dissatisfac
tion with our existinj form of
government. On that home front
will be an active battle line.
e e e
POR this reason, every mistake
of this government which
creates dissatisfaction or a sense
of Injustice among our people
is an encouragement to Hitler's
Intentions.
Any supposedly patriotic ef
forts to promote group antago
nism among the negroes and
others is a paving stone on the
road of Hitler's purposes. (The
Communists always thought this
was the way to revolution.)
Any weakening of our will to
fight will likewise prepare the
way.

T TRY APPLE AND TEA
Pectin is a substance in cer
tain fruits and vegetables which
combines with acid and sugar to
form jellies. It is present in
dried apple powder, too, and
apple powder is an excellent
remedy In diarrheal conditions
the powder being equivalent
to about 19 times its weight of
raw apple. Pectin has consider
able antiseptic action in the
stomach (acid medium) though
not in the intestine (alkaline
medium).
After 24 to 48 hours of exclu
sive peeled raw apple diet other
items may be restored to the diet
such as cooked cereal toast,
ripe banana, cottage cheese,
scraped beef, and last of all
some boll-d milk or whey.

s-b r Jeka W. KeTtT
Washington, D. C, July SO.
At long last lumber is being rec
ognized in the war effort and
now army, navy and air corps
are handing out contracts where
several months ago they turned
up their noses whenever lumber
was mentioned for anything
other than cantonments. The
procurement offices of the
armed services have been forced
to change their attitude by rea
son of the shortage of steel,
which is increasingly more dif
ficult to procure.
A decided "lift" to the small
manufacturer in the Pacific
northwest is the building of
wdoden boxes for army trucks,
but there is now creeping in a
threat because of the steel short
age. Furniture manufacturers,
wood-working plants and vari
ous other contractors are and
will be given a chance to build
these boxes with a canvas cover.
No one knows how many of
these trucks will be needed but
there is talk of several million,
for they are to be used by the
armed forces on all continents.
Originally the war department
wanted hardwood, but has con
sented to the use of Douglas fir;
pine can be used for seats and
sides where there is practically
no strain. A certain amount of
metal will be required for each
wagon top, but not much, and
metal eyelets for the canvas
cover. Northwest contractors
have been skirmishing around
in the national capital looking
for an allotment of this metal.
These wagonbeds will be put in
mass production, as they are all
identical, the material can be
readily cut to dimension and
good workmen can throw them
together dozens a day.
Navy Is about to award con
tracts for 180-foot wooden har
bor boats of the sea-going class
Contracts are to be limited to
four to a yard and the navy says
nothing about repeat orders;
gives no information on the
number desired. It costs about
$150 for a northwest contractor
to buy a set of blueprints.
The barges, immense affairs
will be allocated to Pacific
northwest builders (where the
highest and the lowest bids
were submitted) but, these, also,
will be apportioned a few to a
yard.
Plywood is being used for
trainer planes, gliders and cargo
and transport planes of which
there will be several thousand
built from trees now growing
in the forests of Oregon and
Washington. Use of wood for
these planes, boats and wagon
tops has been accepted after
long and persistent arguments
by a half dozen members of con
gress from the northwest. As
long as steel was plentiful, how
ever, army and navy refused to
consider wood and the air
force declared a plywood plane
Impracticable, although the Brit
ish are building them from Brit
ish Columbia woods.
e e e
A SENATE investigating com
mittee is prying into a story
that there are more than 20 de
stroyers, now in the water,
waiting for their "Innards." The
boats are badly needed to com
bat the submarine menace, but
they cannot be commissioned
until certain machinery is in
stalled, and the companies mak
ing this machinery have not ex
panded their plants, and pre
sent capacity is Inadequate.
One of these destroyers has
been in the water 11 months
