Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Parry
Wendell WUlkie, one of Its
warhorses announces the repub
lican party can t win In 1B44 by
"hating the New Deal." Neither
can they win by loving it and
agreeing with it, as the gentle
man, then a presidential cndl
date, did in 1040.

. A Northern California ex
change reports an. outdoor citl
zen "has been arrested for an
Old deer." This Is humiliating
but better than being shot for
one.
Under the new butter ration
ing, it will be spread thinner on

.
. statesmen, even now are
pondering plans to prevent the
Third World War, and bring
permanent peace. Before the
. hostilities It was argued the way
to prevent war was to send the
statesmen, diplomats . and poli
ticians first, irrespective of age,
physical condition or number of
; teeth. It was also impudently
suggested combatant nations pay
: for .war material cash; on the
barrel head.

(Ely Review.) It don't seem
right
i Italy regards her defeat In the
war "as some sort of a victory"
nd herself as "a favored ally"
of the Allies. She expects to be
. spoon-fed and royally - coddled
for doing what grim necessity
compelled. This national non
chalance Is attributed to the lack
of firm hand and foot, when
' the first surrendered. Press dis
patches report profiteering start
ed a soon as British and Ameri
can soldiers arrived - and - a
: pleasant time was had by all.
Italy is still playing the winner
and waiting for the food relief

HORROR OF HORROR8I
(Oakland (Cal.) Tribune)
"Herbert Hoover has not
" been recalled to Washington
to. contribute his services in
the present crisis. But the
former president's advice has
been acted on by the adminis
tration in at least four major
Issues although without cred
it to the distinguished author."

The cranberry harvest is un
derway on the Oregon and
Washington coasts. The crop is
good and the first signs of a
Thanksgiving sauce shortage are
visible.
The "Keep Oregon Green"
campaign has ended. - The up
state press reports the normal
greenness was maintained, ex
cept for seven men on a raft
in the metropolis.
.."'
The esteemed Pendleton East
Oregonlan rejoices "you can still
pay 10 cents for a good cigar
and get tack four cents in
change." Furthermore, if the
cigar store clerk is not too busy,
you can slap down one of the
new-fangled . pennies with the
main characteristics of a dime
and depart in a hurry with four
cents profit
"Not only did they steal
clothes and kitchen utensils Mrs,
Sinlcki valued at $850, but they
stayed long enough to prepare
a dinner from food In the ice
box." (Press Dispatch.) Com,
plete and deplorable lack of
bringing tip.
Herr Hitler has arrived at the
Dnieper river (n Russia and an
nounces to his winded and lop
ing invincible troops, "Here I
am and here I stay." He is not
expected to maintain this bull
headed stand. Otherwise, he
will lose the honor of leading
his "unconquerables" on their
victorious and hurried return
to Berlin, breathless but trlum
pliant.
The Lesson of Naples
Come on, "Quizz Kids," which of the following
are correct
1. The Germans have abandoned Naples.
2. The Germans have been driven out of Naples.
3. The 8th army has captured Naples.
4. The 5th army has occupied Naples.
According to Nazi reports 1 and 4 are correct;
according to allied reports, 2 and 3. Any German
board of judges would no doubt agree with the Nazi
version as any Allied board of judges, with the Anglo-
American.
DUT impartial history, when the Italian campaign
is finally written up, will probably accept the
Nazi version, on the ground the Germans retreated
from Naples voluntarily and were not driven out con
trary to plan by superior force.
That, at any rate, appears to be the German strat
egy in Italy as it was in Tunisia and Sicily fight and
retreat, fight and retreat, fight and retreat, and never
make a do or die stand.
HOWEVER, a time will come of course in Italy,
as it did in the two other campaigns, when retreat
will no longer be possible the Germans will have
to fight, or quit.
In Tunisia and Sicily they quit. Will they quit in
Italy? ' .
Probably.
For Italy is not inside Hitler's 'Testung Europa"
but outside, and in all likelihood the Nazi program
calls for the ultimate abandonment of Mussolini's
boot heel, toe and calf. '
The only question, therefore, is how long will it
take?
The German strategy is the strategy of defeat,
but it does demand its price, the hope being the pries
as time goes on will be higher than the allies will
care to pay.
f orlorn hope!
But that is all that is left in the Nazi bag of tricks
as we see it
Barring a miracle the result is certain. Only the
time element, as the Naples victory, shows, remains
in doubt.
What Price Optimism?
Our star Washington correspondent Paul Mallon
wants more of this doctrine, that the United Nations
CAN'T lose. : ;
He thinks the admirals and generals in Washing
ton, and even Elmer Davis of OWI, are too pessi
mistic. Their pessimism, he maintains, - instead of
stimulating the war effort and raising national mor
ale, does the exact reverse.
We quote: .1'.'.'.. ' '..
. The facts of the situation today, as I read them, are no
where near comparable 'to 'either of these previous condi
tions, that is, the previous conditions of Germany or Britain
in their struggle. ' ;
We are-bound to win, and we know it. I cannot see why .
we do not proudly proclaim the fact and din it into the ears
of our enemies every second of the day. I think that would '
encourage people more, and discourage our enemies.
; We can't aeree with "P. M." in this instance -
The fact that the. United States has never lost a
war and CAN'T .lose .this one .has, we think, been
sufficiently emphasized in the official oroDaeanda
on one hand, and bv implication in the official war
communiques on the other. The unconditional sur
render note also reiterated so often, has had its roots
in this absolute certainty of the ultimate result '
in tact this note has been emrjhasized SO MTTf.H
that the great danger, as far as civilian morale is con
cerned in this country, has been, and is today
Not pessimism but over-optimism; not lack of con
fidence but OVER confidence!
THERE IS it is time no doubt no reasonable doubt
u& wio icguiu LIUU VUG V .Kf UUUUV AO w ivilC pii-v
that must be paid, to obtain that result
And the one thing that can make that price an
exorbitant one, is ovei'rconfidence; a wide-spread dis
position here in the U. S. A. to UNDUKesumate the
staying power of the enemy, to be so certain of victory
that- those behind the front, more than those at it,
who know the facts, will feel they can let down, re
lax, and take a breathing spell and neither that nor
anything else can alter the beneficient outcome.
Nothing could be less true or more dangerous. :
IN fact if over-emphasis CAN'T be avoided and it
is difficult to avoid it in this country so infatuated
with extremes by all means let it be over-emphasis
on the mt'DlUULTlUS of the allied task rather than
the ease of same.
DETTER than either would be at all times to have
tVio TPTTTTI lot tho nonnla Via oHvpn tho PTnct
facts and let them at all times resolutely face them
But if that CAN T be done, and as mere humans
we MUST err: then for the sake of victory in the
shortest time, rather than the longest at the minimum
cost in blood and treasure rather than the maximum,
let us err in the direction of believing we have a
HARDER job than the facta justify, rather than an
EASIER one.
("VNLY over such a route can complete victory
BOTH in the East and in the West be attained in
the shortest POSSIBLE time, and at the lowest POS

TECHNICAL INFORMATION CONCERNING CONTACT LENSES
km
nm
A firm that has made over
7000 pairs of contact lenses in
the past two years offers the
following information which
may Interest
people who
need' glasses
but for one
reason or an.
other can not
or will not
wear them.
First, it Is
astonishing to
learn that 70
of the 7000
pairs of con
tact lenses are
Dr. Brad? being worn by
men In military service or en
tering the service.
The lenses are made from
plastic material, from an im
pression of the individual's eye
balls. The length of time they
may be worn has increased from
two or three hours (as with the
older glass contact lenses) to
six or eight hours a day. The
firm has records of several cases
in which the lenses have been
worn continuously . up to two
weeks. This is exceptional; the
length of time the lenses may
be worn comfortably is an indi
vidual problem -and cannot be
guaranteed. However, the firm
does not know of any one who
cannot wear the lenses comfort
ably for at least 1V4 hours at
a time.
Contact lenses of any kind
are definitely not a cure all for
faulty vision, this firm hopes I
will make clear to everybody.
It would be unwise for any one
to "try." any kind of contact
lenses without first obtaining
the opinion and advice of his
or her oculist, eye physician.
These contact lenses made of
plastic are practically unbreak
able and, according to the man
ufacturers, they are less sub
ject to scratching or roughening
after prolonged use ' than are
some contact lenses made of
glass.
I am not prepared to supply
the name or address of any one
making contact lenses. However,
on request of a physician or
with your physician's- approval
I'll be glad to give the infor
mation If you provide a three-cent-stamped
envelope bearing
your address.
Of course contact lenses are
much more expensive than ordi
nary glasses or spectacles. Off
setting their greater cost, how
ever, is the fact that one saves
the outlays made necessary to
replace broken glasses, and,
again according to the manu
facturers, people who wear con
tact lenses generally do not
require the change of lenses
that changing shape of the eye
with increasing age makes nec
essary for wearers of ordinary
glasses.

Mediord and Jacksor Co. His
tor from the files ot the Mai
Tribune 10 and 20 rears ago
It is obvious that the strensth
of opposition from both labor
and industry has made it a dan
gerous measure politically. In
deed, the republican authors of
the legislation have grounds to
suspect that the administration
has left them holding that bag
too long. .
The rigid draft regulation
which it would impose upon
all men from 18 to 65 and wom
en from 18 to 50 would make
them legally it not practically
slaves of the state as far as as
signment of work is concerned
It follows a totalitarian theme
which is away from the latest
trend of Washington events and
popular opinion.
The labor assignment system
instituted by Bernard Baruch
on the Pacific coast has' fur
nished a more democratic way
of meeting the problem. It has
some ot the elements of com
pulsion in the establishment ot
priorities for work and the re
striction ot hiring to govern
ment employment agencies, but
the plan is confined to a local
emergency basis and the com
pulsion has been voluntarily
accepted by those involved.
It is at any rate a two-to-one
bet that the notional over-all
compulsion of the Austin-Wads-worth
bill is dead until after the
next elections, at least. The
Baruch idea may be extended to
other emergency localities,

permitting Waves to go overseas,
largely on the private recom
mendation of some naval offi
cers. The committee members
made some personal investiga
tions of the Waves organization
during their recent vacation
travels, and brought back splen
did reports. They found many
girls with unusual education
and exceptional background In
that service,.
However, to transport them
overseas would involve comoli-
cations of housing which prob
ably would cost more than
their transportation would be
worth.
The Idea of sending them over
was supposed to have the in
dorsement of Mrs. Roosevelt,
but even so, some of the naval
officers remained skeptical.
