December 7th Bond Drive . Tomorrow, December 7th, a "day that will live In infamy" as an anniversary of Japan's treacherous attacks upon Pearl Harbor, will mark the opening of an intensive one-week war bond and stamp selling campaign in 16,000 theatres of America. That the motion picture industry will do a good job in this new drive is a foregone conclusion. The cooperation of this industry in the entire war effort has been con stant and substantial. IN September, Hollywood stars, producers and ex- hibitors launched a similar bond campaign. In the language of these bond-selling showmen, the results were nothing short or "colossal, stupendous, mam moth, terrific" a billion dollars in bonds and stamps were sold. Medford's four theatres took active part in that drive; they will lend the same generous assistance in this "Avenge December 7th On to Victory" cam paign. The local goal is to double the total already sold in Medford show houses, which now exceeds ?42,000. THESE theatres are official issuing agents for the 1 I A a 1 A 1 1 .1 1 1 " treasury department, a iact mat snoum oe Known by the movie-going public not reached through the payroll deduction plan. Aithoueh the war is becoming more serious oay Dy day more serious in its demands and more serious in its impact upon the everyday lives of the American people there are increasing reasons for confidence and optimism. Few people do not now have a sense of personal involvement in this conflict The willing ness on the part of the American public to make every conceivable sacrifice to win is increasingly apparent. This spirit should be reflected in whole hearted support of the program of Jackson County's energetic war savings staff and in generous response to the "A venire December 7th" carrmaien of Medford thea tres opening tomorrow. H.G. Is Admiral Parian a Traitor? To the editor I was Interested In your recent remarks about Darlan but don't know as I agree with you. Would you care to have an expedition against Germany headed by Col. Lindbergh or Senator Wheeler? Well this man Darlan has been just as pro-Natl as they ever were. But for him the French fleet would have sailed to Africa and the French government with it, instead of. going to Vichy and working hand and qlove with HiUer. Now what if the fortunes of war turn against England and the U. S. A. In Africa, which side will Admiral Darlan and his native troops be on? I agree opposing Darlan would have cost some lives, but this war can't be won without that, the Nation may be right when it claims going the line of least resistance in Africa, may bring disaster in the end. The latest news from Africa don't look as though the battle there was over by any means. I wouldn't trust this man as far as I could throw a tank by the starting crank. I can't see how Roosevelt can. t G. D. Stewart, Medford, December 4th. Nor does this column 1 As has been repeatedly stated Admiral Darlan is an opportunist of the worst type, interested first, last and all the time in himself and his own fortunes. His political record is bad was bad before France fell, has been worse since. But the fact remains he was in command of the French forces in North Africa when the Americans landed, and for several days put up a stiff resistance. It is also a fact Vichy France broke diplomatic rela tions with this country, and ordered, this resistance against invasion be continued. should General Eisenhower have taken on this war, as well as war against the German and Italians, or should he have concentrated upon the latter, and tried in every way to avoid the former? - THAT is the milk in this particular cocoanut as we see it And we feel in coming to terms with Dar lan at once and proceeding with Darlan's aid immedi ately, against the Axis forces, Eisenhower did the wise thing and from both the standpoint of political cAycuicm.jr onu iiumai y iiecetsoiiy uie only practical thing. AS far as Darlan's record is concerned how about tarian, and when he signed that non-resistance pact with Hitler was as pro-Nazi as Darlan ever was. but for btalin's agreement with Hitler in 1939. it is very doubtful if this war would ever have started certainly Der Reichfeuhrer would never have march ed into Poland, had he not been assured Russia would keep hands off. Because of Stalin's past record, however, his totali tarian convictions and what have you, would Mr. Stewart refuse his military aid, and if necessary drive L: ' a iL. A n nun liiio me axis camp' AS before stated the first job before the House, and iVlA AnllT Id (a t.3i l?a ...nM A A 4a ...... i- wic umjr juu 10 ivs win una nai. inu iu win lb ill the minimum sacrifice and the earliest possible moment As we see it, eliminating Darlan in North Africa as an enemy and securing not only his personal aid but the aid of his Vichy forces, contributed materially to this end. To have denounced Darlan, and placed General De Gaulle in command of all French forces, would have done the exact reverse. CINALLY, while we hold no brief for Darlan, we don't believe he is or ever would be, a traitor to France. He did collaborate with Hitler when he was con vinced the Germans would win, and believed it would be best for himself and for France to be on the winning side. When the tide turned, and Africa was invaded bv U. S. troops as the German offensive in Russia failed, he undoubtedly became convinced the Germans COULDN'T win, and again decided it would be best for him and for France to be on th WINNING side. We see no reason why the United Nations should not benefit from this turn of the tide and change in Darlan's viewpoint It does no particular credit to the French admiral's character, but it will, as we see it, hasten the defeat of Hitler. And that after all is the "consummation devoutly to be wished !" Personal Health Service By William Brady. M. D. SKnre letted pertalnlnc to personal Health and nyflrDe.

NO COLD, GREAT EXPOSURE terl Eight Royal Canadian Mount ed policemen recently arrived in Newfoundland from Vancouver 1 via the North- wast Paasage. They made the voyage in an 80 ton schoon er, the first west - to east water voyage jver made thru that passage. The explor e r Amundsen made the trip from east to Dr. Brady w e s t in three years. In August, 1941, they anchor ed in Pasley Bay to save them selves from being driven onto unknown reefs in a storm, and the open water suddenly turned to eight feet of ice and held them for eleven months. In Franklin Strait tney drift ed back and forth In the ice for nearly a month before they iin ally got clear. Several times they gave up hope of ever getting out. The men took turns on treks tr take census of the Eskimo population of the region, and these treks meant as long as one to two months of travel in weather never milder than 48 de grees below zero. No liquor was used by any of the men on the voyage. With the exception of ore man who died of l heart attack no member of the party was ill at any time and nobody had any symptoms or complaint which your Aunt Amelia could call a "cold."

When the government says no one can get more than $25,000 not even to pay 7 S to 90 per cent, of the excess into the treasury in taxes, how many new ven tures will be made to furnish employment and good wages and good working conditions? Certainly no one hereafter would invest a million in new or old enterprise, and no one who already has an income of $25,000 net will make any more invest ments or contribute in any way to national economic welfare. NO ONE would spend a million rfnllnre tn ttiaW "flnno With The Wind" movie, for in- stance, and that much money would be lost to workers. Real estate promoters of now areas would have to watch the limit before investing. There might be no more Miamls built or Delroits built up. New inventions that have brought this country to the front would likewise become less at tractive. Only small investments would be sensible. What would it do to the Du- Pont, Ford and Chrysler enter prises (and that whole type of top U. S. business already es tablished?) The DuPonta would certainly have to unload General Motors stock, the bulk of which they own. Who would but it? No one who already had investments re turning him S25.000 net And who else Is there to buy such large blocks of stock? The price of stocks and bonds would depreciate from such a condi tion, hurting the little feUow more than the rich. Certainly there would be no future rayon, cellophane and all that large scale investment de velopment in the future Amer ica, because it would not pay. Hundreds of thousands of work ers (mostly union labor) would find these opportunities closed. "THERE are ways of getting around everything. Possibly every big existing business en terprise in the country would try selling stock to the small wage earner again baby stock, perhaps. Ownership might become far flung and diversified, which would be good, if it did not destroy personal business man agement and the initiative which alone has made this country successful above all others. The effect of the $23,000 limi tation on salaries that has been made already can be seen when the movie actors make their one or two pictures a year and quit What will happen when invest ment quits? Who wiU be helped? What will happen to American productive enterprise, the super ior quality of which is enabling us to win the war because other nations cannot match it? Who will build the factories of the future. Where can the- treasury get the bulk of its money hereafter, unless it increases the taxes on all the rest of us who are not rich to replace the taxes lost by this limitation? Who would be helped? Does not this well-sounding political move involve the most revolutionary reform ever men tioned by the new deal? Could anyone possibly get any good out of It except the com munists who originated the idem many years ago not to help anyone but to prevent our suc cessfully capitalistic democracy from being successful, so they could get control? Who else would be helped?
