(exchange). Willkie's Strange Behavior Wendell Willkle, via the current "Look" maga zine, comes out definitely for the Republican nom ination, with but one "if. For he will only consider the nomination 'IF" "The Republican party intends to drive heart and soul for liberal objectives." 'Xiberal objectives!" That has a familiar sound. Unless we are greatly mistaken it has been a favorite phrase with various and sundry New Dealers years. CO what? Well, it will be about as popular with the GOP rank and file as a spray bouquet of rag-weed to a hay-fever victim. And neither Mr. Willkie nor anyone else can se cure the Republican presidential nomination without the GOP rank and file. WE don't know why it is the ex-presidential can didate of the GOP insists upon leading, day in, day, out, with his chin. But that has been his three years ago. He seems DETERMINED to accen tuate his weaknesses as a Republican candidate, and neglect his sources of strength and at the same time strive to stage a GOP "come back." Mr. Willkie's weaknesses center around his many years of membership in the Democratic party, and similar years of opposition to the Republican party. His strength lies in his high grade ability as a level-headed lawyer, an experienced big business administrator, a man of force, courage, experience and common sense. TN other words, Mr. Willkie possesses to an excep- tional degree the clear-headed, practical business like .qualities President Roosevelt so conspicuously lacks, qualities which would admidably fit him for a post-war period of national and international recon struction. . But instead of stressing these facts in a critical survey of the New Deal and FDR's three administra tions, W. W. insists upon stressing the reactionary possibilities of the party he wishes to represent, and the necessity of its regeneration. 1 A surer way to destroy his chance of being the RE PUBLICAN nominee a second time could scarcely be imagined and in view of Wendell Willkie's ex perience and shrewdness it is hard to understand. What Price Italy? It will be interesting to records the course of Italy a moral standpoint. Of course in the allied being lauded, where a few unmercifully condemned. For by her surrender things the allies want above and peace. But viewing Italy's course, not from a partisan but from an objective angle, with a certain ethical emphasis, and where does "Sunny Italy" get off? - . IT seems to this department rather lower in the scale of human obliquity than' any nation in modern history. The attack on France back, it was a stab in the striken nation. To the low greed was added treachery and cowardice. VET at the time no Italian voice was raised against it. The two officials of Italy who negotiated the downfall of Mussolini and the surrender of Italy, Gen eral Badoglio and King supported and approved it people did not, they were very silent about it This "imperial duo" continued that support as long as they could ride along on the wave of German might cheering Axis victories, without contributing anything or sacrificing anything themselves. But the moment the tide turned and their hard-pressed ally approached the doom of France, back they went, again joining the victors and again hoping to get in at the kill, and enjoy a jackal's feast or what might be left of it ITALY is now helping a good cause, where she for 1 merly helped an evil one. There is that to her credit But were the allies as hard-pressed today as they were three years ago, there is slight doubt Italy would still be trailing the blood-smeared Hitler juggernaut, KicKing the writhing victims as they fell. As Macaulay remarked tion." But one can indict a ship. And unless this department is far off the beam the moral indictment of Italy in this direction and in this war, by impartial history, will be one of the most severe and scathing in the record of the so-called hu man family. ITALY, as we see it, has just one chance to redeem herself. If she now goes "all out" against Germany, shows a willingness to fight and die for a just and righteous cause as she refused to do for an evil one, then it may properly be claimed in extenuation that her heart was never in the war against the allies, that the un speakable Mussolini led and that when called to to be right Italy can be a It takes a strong faith t" calieve in any such national transformation.

WUlIsm Brady. ZU El Camlno, Beverly Hllle, Calif. AN ADDICT GIVES A voung man writesr "Doctor, I believe my case is a remarkable one. as I am 84 years old, born in '59. I sent for and receiv ed your book let on the con stipation habit. It has been a lifelong habit with me. I fol lowed the ad vice you give therein, waited four days and just as you stat- Dr. Brady ed, nature then resumed control- For two months since the bowel function has been perfectly normal and I have taken no physic or 'aid of any description." The remarkable feature of the case is that an apparently well-educated man could worry along for so many years enslaved to physic. It is human nature that this emancipated physic addict should feel that his case is re markable. I had a long letter the other day from a woman who described in minute detail three experi ences she has had with unpleas ant reactions due to her idiosyn crasy or hypersensitivity to io dine. She seemed to think I should caution, everybody about the use of Iodine. Some persons are more sensitive to iodin, ex ternally or internally, than oth ers. But there is no evidence that anybody, whether he or she has any type of goitre or not, is seriously harmed by taking an iodine ration or by the regular use of Iodized salt in place of or dinary salt. On the contrary, there Is considerable evidence that this practice tends to pre vent goitre and saves many per sons from serious goitre opera tions. The question of the use of Mild Tincture of Iodine (Tine tura Iodi Mitls, U. S. P.), which Is the official standard brown liquid especially intended for popular use as a first aid disin fectant for minor wounds or for painting the skin over swell ings and the like, the Iodine Washington Letter Analysis and Comment by HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District Washington, D. C-, Sept. 18 (Special Correspondence) When congress reconvened Tuesday, after two months' recess, the session opened as usual at twelve noon, and since there was noth ing ready to be considered on the floor, the house adjourned until Friday noon. Principal business of the Friday afternoon session was to hear the report of the president on the progress of the war, and It was an encour aging report. Ways and means committee of the house has been holding open hearings on the subject of the renegotiation of war contracts. I have attended some of these hearings. There seems to be over- whelming evidence that the ap plication of the renegotiation law has been entirely too broad As now interpreted, manufactur ers, and even retailers of ordi nary civilian goods, that are gov erned by celling prices, and In many Instances- manufacturers of products that are purchased by the government on bids be low celling prices, are being put through the renegotiation proc ess. Testimony given before the ways and means committee tends to Indicate that the money re captured by the government from such concerns Is Insignifi cant In amount, but the trouble and expense the renegotiation process causes the business con cerns Is serious. The Fulbrlght resolution Is a very brief, one-sentence piece of legislation, offered In the form of a house concurrent resolution. that reads as follows: "Resolved, That the congress hereby express itself as favoring the creation of appropriate International ma-1 chlnery with power adequate to prevent future aggression and : to maintain law, order and last ing peace, and as favoring par-1 tlclpatlon by the United State : therein." The political dynamite In this resolution Is simply thnt a great .many members of the house are reluctant to be put on record with a vote on that specific statement. The resolu tion was reported favorably by the foreign affairs committee, and In spite of "behind-the-scenes" objections. I am inclined to believe the resolution will be voted upon this coming weak. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1943 Brady. M. D. MATURE A CHANCE the druggist should dispense when anyone asks for iodin (it is only about one-third the strength of the Tincture, of Iodine which should be reserved for the ex clusive use of physicians and surgeons), has nothing to do with the question of physic slavery. I am reminded of it here be cause the notions of the "em inent specialists" about the "dan ger" Involved In getting the' Io dine required to maintain health are as fanciful and unfounded as the everyday belief of that part of the public that the bow els limply will not function un less "regulated-" "aided" or "prodded" more or less frequent ly or habitually by laxatives or mechanical devices. And the funny part of it la that when an occasional physic addict listens to reason and gets rid of his morbid fancies he decides his case is remarkable. QUESTIONS A ANSWERS Vicious Practice Do doctors In any circumstances approve giving infants or young cnu dren a small amount of liquor lor quieting purposes? (C. P.) Answer. No. That Is a vicious prac tice. Gingivitis Is Not Pyorrhea I would appreciate any Informa tion or advice you can give me on what the dentists call gingivitis or pyorrbes. I have had It for a year or more now, and the dentists do not seem to think there la anything to be done about it. (Q. 8.) Answer Send stamped envelope bearing your address and . ask for pamphlet "All That Gingivitis Is Not Pyorrhea." If you would like also the No. 1 Little Lessons In the ways of Health booklet. "Save Tour Teeth," Inclose 3ft cents sddltlonal do not send clipping, because that causes confusion. Mother Knows Best I feel that articles like the one In which you applauded a pregnant woman for doing alt the things Bhe might otherwise do cuch as paint ing, working In garden and the llko, may do much harm. We lost our first for the very reason that I knew no better. We are now expecting a baby In another month. This time. I waa more careful to avoid all such activity. (Mrs. c. F. M.) Answer wen, good luck to you this time, but even now you may not know as much as a doctor who hss never had one. (Copyright, 1943. John P. Dllle Co.) - Ed. Notei Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D., left El . Camlno. Beverly Hills, Calif. A few days ago, Chester Bowles, general manager of the Office of Price Administration, Issued a statement to the effect that, by subsidizing seven com modities, namely apples, oranges, onions, potatoes, lard, vegetable oils and peanut butter, the cost of living could be reduced by 2.3 and the cost of subsidies would amount to only $100,000, 000. Our food study committee Im mediately pointed out that the price rollback, suggested by Bowles, would cost $325,000,000 at least, and that, If even that amount of money Is expended In subsidies on those seven com modities, it would still repre sent nowhere near a reduction of 2.3 in the cost of living. The reduction would, In fact, be less than 1- Our figures further revealed that It would require si.ouu.uuu.uuu to be paid In sub sidies to do what Bowles says can be done with $100,000,000. We have confronted the Office of Price Administration with this statement, and we are now anx iously awaiting their reolv. but Bowles seems to be having trou- Die witn his arithmetic. I wish I could have had more' time to visit when I was In the district for these past forty dava. but by the time I had carried out my intention of visiting ev ery federal project In the dis trict, and had responded to the invitations from various groups to appear before them.

News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued from Pass One) world organization would con trol the armed might of the world and thus completely de stroy all the national sovereign ty ot all nations. Offhand- 1 would say that van It we wanted this, Russia Mekico Honors o would never accept It, and I doubt If Britain would. The idea of an international police force to run Russia must make Stalin laugh. a a IN A controvertible fact No. 2 is that Hatch and others who believe in such a force actually think they are continuing the alliance which Is winning this war. The war is being won In an entirely different way. We have our army and navy, the British have theirs, Russia hers. We and the British have worked pretty -close, but we do not even yet know the simplest facts of the Russian army strength or plans. The sover eignty of each ally has been pre served so far In the winning of this war. Of cooperation there has been plenty, but each na tion has carefully retained its own integrity. a a a F SENATOR HATCH and the ' others really want to continue the war status quo Into the post war world, there will be no in ternational army and no super state. (Stalin- has not even been in conference with us yet) We are winning this war, from the American standpoint because we were able to put a superior army . and superior equipment into the field on time. We nearly were too late. If Senator Hatch and the oth ers In that school want to carry the victory over Into the peace, they will primarily Insist that we maintain our superior army, air force, navy and keep our production lines ready and open, so we will never be caught flat footed in another Pearl Harbor. PACT NO. 3 is their assump tion that an International ar my or super-state would elim inate differences between na tions'. Well, we had relatively the existing allied armed situa tion or better at the time Man chukuo was Invaded by the Japs. China outrageously, attacked and miopia conquered and we never did anything about it. we did nothing because, of differences of interests amons tne anti-aggressor forces. Our people did not want to do any thing about these things. Any attempt to have this country go to war to protect inese remote peoples was con sidered preposterous at the time ll there had .been an interna tional army the same differences would have prevailed and pre vented action. Hatch's own senate cannot Bet together within itself for specific international peace action or with the house, or either of them with the president. If you cannot get the Demo crats and Republicans, or even tne Democrats within them selves, to agree on a course of peace action, how Is the world super-state, representing far greater differences and compet itive interests existing between nations like Russia and the de mocracies, ever going to agree on war action? The idea; therefore, is likely to evaporate for lack of sub stance.

In the main, they re semble a global "blue eagle" with paternalism In its heart and a "crack-down in its beak. A wrecked world will get milk, factories, and democracy, with espionage and police to see that all peacefully submit, or else Complete independence is out for the duration of that peace From such a permanent peace may a kind providence deliver us. Two important items are prac tically ignored. One is Russia, mightiest of nations, and grow Ing mightier every day. We U. S.. Admiral Bear Adm. Balstoa 8. HalBMS received the Medal f Group . American from the hands of General da Division Joan Felipe Bice f Meilco st aa Ensenada, Mexico, ceremony. Admiral 1 Holmes, former eemmawdant f the 11th Naval District, Is BOW aerrlnf as Navy liaison officer with the National Defense Besearch Committee. 1 1 f!s hone" that Stalin will trail along with us. But why enter tain that hope? Stalin is an avowed atheist, recognized as a hater of our religion, our ideals, and our institutions. He re ceives our vast lend-lease aid without gratitude and calls it a 'mere trickle". After Hitlers collapse Stalin might continue neutral, letting England, Amer ica and China crush Russia's in veterate foe, Japan. He may even ignore the peace-table and settle with each nation in 'his own way. Just who would say to him "You can t do that to us"? Planning a world government to supervise, police, (and spy on) all nations, to prevent rearming and aggression. Is interesting desk work now. But trying to fasten it on America, England, Russia, China, Spain, Turkey, etc., will not be on the peace- taoie agenda. Through all his tory nations have fought for in dependence. We still like it Russia will surely maintain hers. Let us maintain ours. The other important item Ig nored is God. If Roosevelt and Churchill in their conferences ever discussed God as a factor in world affairs, it was not re ported. In post-war nlannlns God sometimes receives "honor able mention" but seems never consulted on important matters The planners would take the human race, just as it is, and transform it, while you wait, from perpetual war to perpetual peace. But the average man is a bad actor, glorying in war un til ne gets a "new heart and a new spirit"; and there will be no world peace until he does. Post-war planners should rec ognize the missionary as hold ing the only key to permanent world peace. Peace Is a matter of the heart. It can become uni versal only when the spirit of wnnsi controls all men. Then war will automatically cease. The planners overlook six very important words of Christ, viz, "Without me ye can do noth ing". EDWIN DEACON, Talent, Ore., Sept 20-43, EXCHEQUER CHANCELLOR IS SUMMONED BY DEATH London, Sept. 21.

U,R) A neutral source reported today that the war spirit in Germany now is at its lowest ebb and the people, although showing no signs of open revolt, are grum bling even while the Nazi pro paganda machine prepares them for more bad news from Russia. This source said that Berlin was "in the doldrums" and as many persons as possible, have been evacuated to the provinces after Allied air raids. Those remaining to work in essential jobs are fearful of air raids and the attendant . disruption of transportation which would keep them from commutlpg to their Jobs. The German high command Is expected to try to hold the Russians about 100 miles east of the Polish frontier, the neutral source said, and the present German withdrawal in Russia is made to appear as part of a care ful plan being carried out in orderly fashion with a'minimum of loss.
