Churchill
IT IS reassuring to learn that Prime Minister Chur-
chill and W. Averill Harriman, representing Presi
dent Roosevelt, have recently concluded a three-day
conference in Moscow with Premier Stalin.
There had been unconfirmed rumors to this effect
for some time. But now the meeting is officially an
nounced by the Soviet government with the comment
that unspecified decisions were reached in an atmos
phere of cordiality and complete sincerity.
.....
THERE Is no doubt of the sincerity. The allies SIN
CERE desire to aid Russia, Stalin's SINCERE
deside to be aided.
The cordiality, however, particularly on Stalin's
part might be open to some question.
The "Man of Steel" has never been a very "cordial"
person.under the most favorable circumstance. And
while his armies have again demonstrated their ability
to "take it" as well as "dish it out," the failure of the
allies to stage an all-out sea and land offensive in the
West, can hardly have increased the amiability of the
All-Highest in the Kremlin.
In fact our own belief is, the allied representatives
were treated to some very blunt and non-cordial
conversation, with something in the nature of an ul
timatum to the effect that there better be allied action
and plenty of it, or the Soviet chief will not answer
for the consequencs. .
For of course there IS a limit to what a national
leader in Stalin's place and of his type WILL "take."
Stalin cares nothing for Atlantic charters, high moral
aspirations, so-called democratic ideals, or demo
cratic "alibis."
He cares a great DEAL for the security of his own
country, and his own skin. And if at any time he be
lieves his best interests and the best interests of his
country will be best served by making a deal any
kind of a deal no moral scruples will prevent him.
. .
THERE is little doubt this fact was made perfectly
clear to Messrs. Churchill and Hariman, for it is
Soviet Russia's interest that it should be. And there
is even less doubt that whatever can be done by the
Anglo-American forces to aid Russia at this critical
time will now be done, and will be done QUICKLY.
Whether this means an immediate and all-out at
tack by the United Nations in the west only the future
can disclose.
But that it does mean doing all the allied command
believes CAN be done, under circumstances now ex
isting, is CERTAIN. "
War Is HeULbut,
To the editor: I didn't go to the Camp White celebration
but my daughter did. She came home saying the command
ing general said he was making those boys into the best
killers he could and everybody cheered. Today I took my
daughter to church and we read in the Bible it is wicked to
kill, and it is right to turn the other cheek to those that
would smlta you. My little girl asked me who Is right, and
I didn't know what to say. I don't know now. Perhaps you
do Mr. Editor? Mrs. A. H. D., Medford, August 16th.
(Name on file)
Perhaps.
And as a starter let us answer this question by ask
ing one.
If our correspondent s daughter were asleep in her
room, and what Hollywood
in human form should break into the house and
swinging a club aloft start for that room, and the
mother sitting nearby should be lucky enough to have
a loaded shot-gun in her hand, what would SHE do?
Would she call up her minister or read an extract
from the Bible to the marauder?
Or would she use that gun where it would do the
most good, and thank the good Lord she had one 1
. .
1XE doubt if any mother or father or any sane
human being would waste much time in answer
ing THAT one.
Well that hypothetical picture represents world war
situation with reasonable accuracy, as far as this
country and the moral problem is concerned.
This war was certainly not of our seeking. We did
all in our power to prevent it, and to keep out of it
But is was forced upon us, in a direct and excep
ti nallv treacherous fashion.
What should we do what is the RIGHT thing
to do? NOTHING? Sit quietly in the rocking chair,
and let nature take its course to the inevitable and
tragic conclusion?
fR SHOUD we defend our home and our own in
the most effective fashion possible?
We feel there isn't much room for debate on that
question either.
War is a horrible, filthy, thing, every sane person
detests it, and is eager to do everything possible to
prevent it
But as G rover Cleveland once remarked we face a
condition, not a theory and that condition is war
war forced on us an attack on this country, and on
everything that we hold dear and makes life worth
living.
And the only way to win that war is to KILL!
It isn't a pleasant idea, nor a pleasant prospect But
it MUST be done. If our world goes down we go
down with it. And the only way to prevent it is to get
together the strongest and most effective army we can
muster, and make the members of that army the most
competent killers that can be made.
For the more competent killers they are the shorter
the war will be, the more secure this country, and the
more permanent the peace that follows.
There can be no half way measures in this game
Mrs. A.H.D.half way measures would be worse than
none.
Once in a war it is a question of KILLING or being
killed. General Gerhardt was entirely right in em
phasizing the necessity of the FIRST 1

POISON
Waist-deep In summer Is
poison ivy time the time when
mort vacationists have a go at
it. No harm to
remind those
who have not
already learn
ed the hard
way what a
nlppo-nazi
plant it is.
Poison Ivy
and poison oak
are woody
perennial vines
or shrubs or
low erect
Dr. Brady plants. Their
leaves are divided Into three
leaflets on a stalk, two of the
leaflets opposite and with short
stems, the third leaflet in the
middle on a larger stem. The
leaves are two or three inches
long, dark green on the upper
surface, lighter green and vel
vety with a fine hairy covering
on the under surface. The leaf
lets tend to be smooth on one
margin and notched with one or
more indentations on the other
margin.
Poison Ivy and poison oak
have inconspicuous small yel
lowish green flowers in loose
branching clusters in early sum
mer, and these flowers turn into
small smooth round green fruits
or berries in the autumn, be
coming white or ivory in late
autumn.
A casual glance should enable
anyone to distinguish the harm
less Virginia creeper from pdt
son ivy or poison oak. Virginia
creeper, often confused with
poison ivy, has five leaflets to
the stalk and its fruits are blue
in color with red stems, and
contain two or three seeds each,
whereas the fruit or berry of
poison Ivy or poison oak con
tains a single seed.
This article deals with, preven
tion of ivy poisoning. On re
quest, accompanied with stamp
ed envelope bearing your ad
dress, I'll send a pamphlet In
structing you how to treat ivy
poisoning.

names such as" poison elder,

slender clustered stems or as

trunk several inches thick. Its
leaves are a foot or so long,

May went to the war depart

topper withdrawn. The army
weakened only slightly, but
enough. The navy wholeheart
edly endorsed the correction.
In a letter to acting speaker
Bulwinkle, dated August 5, the
acting navy Secretary, James
Forrestal, wrote:
'The making of these pay

ed effect on morale. The navy
recommends enactment of the
proposed legislation."
That did the Job.

IT Is a remarkable matter when
the government openly cor

pattern of official behavior In
such matters Is to insist that
there was no mistake and to

to lustify a blunder.

His other point denied his

be physically Impossible to get

November 1.

But the - prettiest of all ex

dishonest to hold out hopes to
dependents that they might be

it could not be done.
Apparently he wanted a hu

strained nis own credulity with
that one. for a few minutes
'ater he lold Senator Tydinss,
the November 1 date had been
adopted for all payments because
they did not want the checks
which would be ready before
that date to go out until all were
ready
That put him on both sides of
the argument the checks both
would and could not be pre
oared before Nov 1 within the
span of a single long breath,

From Washington. D. G
Something Wrong
With Production
PlanU Close For
Lack of Material
To Base Blimps
Near Tillamook
Br John W. tell
Washington, D. C, Aug. 17
Even the official office of war
information frankly admits that
something is wrong with the war
production; that production is
slipping and is not keeping up to
schedule, with the possible ex
ception of merchant ships. Elmer
Davis, who gave up an $80,000
job to head O'.VI, is really trying
to inform the public and answer
the incessant question; "Why
don't they tell us the facts?"
Alexander MacLeish, a very
minor poet and librarian of the
congressional library, as head of
office of facts and figures
"kidded" the public, said every
thing was rosey and not a cloud
upon the horizon. OFF has been
abolished and with it dozens of
men who were drawing 8000
each.
Organized labor (AFL) and
CIO) are protesting the closing
of hundreds of plants because
they have no material. Repre
sentative Tolman of California
hits the nail on the head by
charging that there is no official
with final say; no one authorized
to assume responsibility. In a
metropolis full of coordinators
there is none to knit the armed
services, the civilians and the
lend-lease into one comprehen
sive picture.
Maritime commission says it
needs so many tons of sheet steel
for shipyards of the northwest;
army orders tanks and a variety
of aircraft; navy orders steel for
its warships; housing orders
hardware for its building pro
gram; Donald Nelson says he
will see that civilian needs are
taken care of; Harry Hopkins or
ders lend-lease supplies. There
is no one Individual or agency
that these groups make report
to; no person who knows how
much aluminum, copper, steel
or magnesium is or will be avail
able and who can apportion
these metals so that each will
receive something. WPB does
not follow up the material from
the mine to the finished product.
There are too many high priori
ties and not enough allotments.
With some industries hoarding
materials (shipyards are not ex
ception) others are struggling to
obtain enough to continue oper
ations and those which cannot
are closing or slowing down.
There is no balanced producton;
it is every man for himself the
army, the navy, maritime com
mission, lend-lease. Now it is
admitted that President Roose
velt's demand for 60.000 ail
planes this year will not be met;
that the three ships a day pro
gram will fall short; that tanks
will not roll off the assembly
line as was predicted.
This confusion will continue
until someone) it doesn't matter
who is appointed by the presi
dent to supervise and correlate
production and distribution,
see
MEN are flocking to the
northwest to work in war indus
tries and for the first time there
is talk of limiting the number
of employes in the yards of
Pugct sound and Columbia river
and freezing the number of
workers at Boeing plants, at
tank plants, etc. This situation
is brought about by two angles:
The "tight" condition of ma
terials and the housing shortage.
The matter of materials (ex
plained above) is the first con
sideration and governs, of
course, the number of workers
required. Now housing is curbed
by the shortage of building ma
terials and in a land of saw
mills. If transportation was
available workers couldd com
mute from 30 to 30 miles, re
lieving the pressure on centers
where war industries are lo
cated. e e e
THOSE blimps which ara to
be based on Tillamook coast (es
tablishment to cost about $12.
000.0C0) and patrol the entire
Pacific northwest looking for
submarines, cost estimated at
$323,000 each, will place a num
ber in the air. They have a
speed of about 12 miles an hour,
or two miles faster than the Lib
erty ships which are rated at 10
knots. With helium gas. the
small lighter than air machines
are unsinkable. War department
received $100,000 to experiment
with autogyros, also to be used
for spotting submarines, but no
report on progress of the experi
ment has been made public.
GOVERNMENT is gradually
adopting the 24-hour clock and
more and more reports are car
rying the new all-day style. The
count starts with midnight at
zero and time is reckoned from
one to 24 the next midnight.
Thus 3:13 p. m. is 13:13 and 9
p. m. is 21 o'clock. A report
