There were two listeners, and the memory of one failed com pletely and most gallantly. Mr. Hoover, former president, proposes two peace making stages, tha Idea being to get one that will last. In the long run. and the other to be temporary, chiefly to stop the shooting.

The suspicion arises that a raid an Jay-driving would net as large, if not greater catch. Vm kUUTtibuoi vinCiA. The Hoover Peace Plan Former President Hoover's suggestion that peace when it comes be in two sections, strikes this de partment as an excellent one. Section No. 1: Instantaneous provisional peace wtlh dia , armament of the enemy and immediate concentration toward political, economic and spiritual recovery, of friend and foe alike. Section No. 2: Later, after there has been time to cool off and work out carefully the multitudinous details, then a peace conference and PERMANENT peace. Of course there will be objections. One rather obvious one will be the spiking of any preliminary peace offensive, such as brought about the armistice in 1918. Wilson's 14 points then proved a vital factor in breaking German resistance. Under the Hoover plan there could scarcely by any repetition of that maneuv er. For only PRELIMINARY pledges could be made. DUT that is hardly a serious defeat. For as has been repeatedly stated this war, unlike World War No. I, is a war to the death, a war to com plete exhaustion. Before the end. peace offensives may be probably will be tried by both sides, but they won't in our judgment at least, get to first base unless and until the side offered them, can no longer eitecuveiy resist. N other words Hoover's Section No. I can hardly be invoked until the Axis in Europe is completely smashed, and the time for peace offensives has.there fore passed away. Therefore that objection has hard ly half a leg to stand on. And the big advantage starting world recovery at the earliest POSSIBLE moment, and framing per manent peace in an atmosphere of sanity and justice, rather than confusion and hatred, is certainly worth fighting hard for and making many sacrifices to at tain. Win the War First In fact without some such division as outlined above, we question the wisdom of publicly discussing peace terms at all. It is rather like a pugilist, in the midst of a terrific championship encounter, figuring out how he will spend the victor s purse. That mental diversion from the immediate task at hand of WIN NING might well mean a sudden clip on the jaw, and no winner's purse at all ! TO further elucidate the point Let it be assumed a discussion is now carried on regarding peace terms, on the often-advanced theory that it is as necessary to prepare for peace, as it is for war. Ok. Well just pick one minor item out of the peace bag that must be settled what is to become of the Croat minority in Jugoslovia? Or what are the final boundaries between Hungary and Rumania to be? Or again : How far to the west should the Russian boundaries go, and how much control should Russia have over Poland, t inland, what was Lithuania and Latvia? And while on the subject of Russia what will Stalin demand as far as Hungary, Rumania, yes even Turkey and Greece are concerned? IN the final peace treaty all these problems must Be solved somehow. And it will take the greatest tol erance and wisdom the peace conference can produce ever to solve them without sewing the seeds of an other war. In fact the more these details are discussed before final victory the more difficult that victory will be to attain, the longer it will take to reach the desired goal. For if you wish to stiffen Croat morale just hint that peace will mean continued subservience to the Serbs. And if you wish to enrage Stalin just hint the allies, when peace is declared, won't allow Russia to have a stronger national defense against German aggression than she had before 1 IN other words, once try to fight the PRESENT war on ONE side and the PEACE war on the other and at the same time and things WILL be in a mess, with confusion worse confounded, and allied morale shot a thousand ways to Sunday. As previously stated regarding Darlan and North Africa. Let FIRST things come FIRST. And the first thing is: ' Smash the Axis, and then and not UNTIL then, bring up the problem of in DL1AIL to bring about Troglodytes Behind the guns and pill Maginot Line near the Libian border, is the rolling and rock-strewn land of Matmata. Pock-marked and pitted with huge gopher-like holes, this area presents one of the strangest sights in war-struck Tunisia. From the surface, the land appears as an almost uninhabited wasteland of hills and hollows. From above, it looks like the craters of the moon or the great yawning holes made by misdirected bombs. Actually, Bays the National Geograpic Society, these holes are the front yards, or the patios, of the Troglodytes the desert cave dwellers. IN early times when Arab raiders rode through the desert, the Troglodytes, seeking safety pockets for themselves and their few world possessions, bur rowed deep into the earth. First, large welhvays were dug; then deep-set rooms were gouged out of the side-walls of these welhvays. Such sunken dwellings were ample protection against the primitive weapons of the invaders. Later, when the danger of enemy attack had faded, the Trodlodytes found these make shift "holes" cool and comfortable retreats from the hot sun and winds of the desert and took them for their permanent homes. Here they still live. just what must be done a just and lasting peace!

DENTIST DARN A correspondent sends with out comment a letter received from a professor In a college of dentistry, trom which I quote: "It is quite true that what Dr. Brady re fers to in his column as 'im mediate den ture service' is frequently pos sible and even advisable.' What a re lief! I had al most given up hope of ever Dr. Brady laying any thing about the teeth or dental treatment which would meet with the approval of the dentists. much less written or spoken acknowledgment. The dentists will never, never forgive me for urging them to adopt the trade mark "Dentor" instead of the misleading "Doctor" on their of fice signs, leaving the trademark "Doctor" exclusively to physi cians. But not so fast. This profes sor is true to type. Let him qualify his answer: "We do teach In the college of dentistry, and practice in the in firmary clinic immediate denture service, if and when it is indi cated and advisable. As, appar ently, you have learned, the chief advantage lies in the fact that habits caused by the loss of natural teeth do not develop, and the embarrassing edentulous period is avoided. "It Is true, however, that arti ficial dentures which are placed immediately following extraction usually have to be remade In a short time, since there is a loss of tissue and so-called 'shrink age' of the ridges by the process of nature. "With my knowledge of the popularity of 'immediate den ture service' I would say that any reputable practitioner of your own choosing should be able to serve you. "I would differ with Dr. Bra dy's statement that only the more skillful and progressive dentists are practicing this serv ice. For the past few years there has been a great deal of inter est shown by the profession In (Continued from Page One) iff laws there may be brought In from Canada 200,000,000 or 300,000,000 bushels of feed grain to be sold to cattlemen who wish to fatten stock before sending it to market. This Is one of the several things farmers do not ap preciate, for there are surpluses of grain in the northwest and midwest which are considered ample for all requirements. While the prospect of a flood of Canadian grain flowing Into the United States alarms the farmer, the cattleman is worried over the prospect of the domes tic market being Invaded by beef from the Argentine. Apple growers of Yakima and Hood River valleys have a threat of British Columbia competition if the president Is authorized to suspend tariff schedules, and Med ford orchardists can look for pears from South America enter lng the domestic market. Ditto the turkey growers of the north west. a a SOMEWHAT late in Its dis covery Is the department of ag riculture in announcing that 60 percent of all the cows milked in the United States are In herds of 10 cows or less, producing 9 per cent of the milk supply.

For 1943 the department is asking dairymen to increase production over 1942 by two bil lion pounds, an almost impos sible task when so many cows have been disposed of. As a sidelight on the milk problem consider Tillamook county, Oregon, where 92 dai ries have been put out of busi ness by the navy which bought the valuable grazing land and converted the pasturage Into a $7,00,000 base headquarters for blimps to patrol the northwest coast. This base was constructed by a Puget Sound firm. e e e JIMMY BYRNES is tired of his Job which, when the execu tive order was issued appeared to make him over-all boss of the war effort; over Donald Nelson of War Production Board. Leon Henderson of Office of Price Ad ministration, etc. Like others who have been made czars by executive order (Rubber Czar Jeffers told a house committee that czars were a dime a dozen), Byrnes discovered that he didn't have the authority the execu tive order specified. Ex-Senator and Kx-Associate Justice Byrnes has had repeated rows with Nel son and Henderson and told the latter to stop seeking publicity and get down to business. Now Jimmy Byrnes would like to recapture his seat on the supreme bench which he re signed to take on the special task for the president (at a per sonal sacrifice of 110.000 a year). Mr. Roosevelt has not filled the ttCH in NmilmAmi vacancy notwithstanding there are scores of applicants.

New York, Dec. 17 (U.R) The Newspaper and Mail Deliverers' Union (independent) called off Its strike against the eight ma jor New York newspapers at 1 a. m. today, on orders trom the War Labor Board. For the first time since Sun day, the newspapers, printing a total of 3,500,000 copies a day, were back on newsstands and in the hands of their readers. Since the strike began, their circula tion had been limited to the few thousand copies sold at the news papers' offices. The dispute involved demands for a IS per cent wage increase and Job security.
