The same sentimental squeamishness not so long ago, made it bad taste to designate the "Jap" as a "Jap." Both races, through the beastly criminality of their military leaders and forces, have lost the right to any con sideration from civilization. The tendency is to sandpaper their feelings, Instead of salving them. There Is soma complaint about the current local weather from newcomers, who got out of the Middle West between cyclones and closely pursued by a bliz zard.

Leader "Umatilla county teachers pent a profitable Institute afternoon at Pendleton in ob serving the trajectory of spherical object propelled by muscular force with the aid of a symmetrical wooden in strument commonly known as a baseball bat." The secretary of treasury, after one whole week on a tour of the Mediterranean front, is coming home to "puncture" the over-optimism of Americans. He also has a scheme In the bark of his head for the high-pressure sale of war bonds and war stamps to soldiers in North Africa. That notion is more in need of puncturing than the "over optimism" of the Ameri can people. The soldier' abroad has enough to contend with without the importation of bright young men to sell him bonds. Speaking of things that rest effectively punctured, there is the proposed 10 billion dollar tax proposal of the secre tary of the treasury, The hand-raised mustache of Judge Bill Coleman has been torn loos from its moorings and disappeared as completely as tha buffalo and the snows of yester-year. The Navy and the War TOMORROW Ja Navy Day. Each year, the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt is set aside in recognition of the role of the American Navy in the history of this nation. It is a time to re call the exploits of John Paul Jones, Lawrence, Far ragut and Dewey. But today a new and glorious chapter in American naval history is being written. It is a chapter of high courage, supreme adventure. It is a story which, in the words of Stanley Johnson, has "more action, more thrills than the wildest pulp magazine thriller." Indeed, this second wartime Navy Day has greater significance than at any time since it was first ob served in 1922." Today, the Navy and Marines are carrying the fight to the foe attaching vigorously and effectively on the seven seas. "TWO major blows were dealt the American Navy since the first Navy Day observance.' The first was at the treaty table, the second at f earl Harbor. Because of both, the early days of this war were dark, indeed. In those first days the Navy had little but supreme courage with which'to combat a well pre pared and dangerous enemy. With bitter tenacity our sea forces battled against overwhelming odds from Manila down through the Dutch East Indies to the very shores of Australia. They were "expend able" while we marshalled our new naval might. We have come a long way since Navy Day a year ago. Then we were fighting the Japanese on Guadal canal. It was on May 7th of that year, however, when the real turning point in South Pacific naval action took place in the Coral Sea. One month later, close on the heels of the Coral Sea victory, came the crushing defeat of the Nipponese fleet at Midway. The Navy had come into its own. Then began the inexorable surge against the foe that is slowly and surely driving him back an attack born of a new and mighty naval strength. Yankee courage, production and ingenuity had turned the tide I fUR pre-war fleet comprised 1076 vessels. Today the Navy is waging war upon five oceans with the greatest fleet in the history of the world 14,072 fighting ships with a total displacement of five mil lion tons. Today's naval air force boasts thousands of planes, in fact eleven times the strength of Pre Pearl Harbor days. What a tribute to American pro duction I In an address before Oregon newspaper publish ers last summer, James Forrestal, undersecretary of the Navy revealed that a new engineering achieve ment enables American warships to consume 35 per cent less fuel through "adaption of high pressure, high temprature steam.". That gave our fighting ships insuperable advantage in maneuvering on the broad Pacific. Kadar has been another factor in our sea victories. Helicopters, operating from small car riers, are helping to hold the enemy -U-boats at bay. These are tributes to American ingenuity! America is heartened by the exploits of this greater Navy. We have much to celebrate this year so much more than a year ago. Today the Navy IS a "Spearhead ot Victory." AND, as a post-script to these comments, let us tVlca Anal ft ttlia MMMfMlintfl fiAtl Mow Day observance tomorrow evening at the Salvation Army-operated West ' Side U.S.O. Fittingly, the mothers of navy men will be especially honored at this public ceremony. H.G. Pass the Senate Resolution Article 10 killed the League of Nations as far as U. S. participation was concerned. Had it not been for" this article or if President Wilson had been willing to compromise regarding it the United States probably would have joined the League and the present war might well have been avoided. Undoubtedly to avoid a similar tragedy the Sen ate resolution now being debated in the Upper House, favoring international action to maintain post-war peace, is very brief and general in its terms. Here it is: "Resolved, that the war against all our enemies be waged until complete victory Is achieved. "That tha United States cooperate with Its comrades-in-arms in securing a just and honorable peace. "That the United States, acting through Its constitutional processes, join with free and sovereign nations in the estab lishment and maintenance of international authority, with power to prevent aggression and to preserve the peace of the world." A hot verbal fire is being directed against the pro posal, not as yet by the isolationists, or the Republican "die-hards," but by radical anti-isolationists like Sen ator Ball of Minnesota, and radical Anglophiles like benator fepper of Florida, one of the administra tion's most vehement supporters. All the left-wingers are apparently against the proposal also, wishing a more explicit and binding agreement THE Mail Tribune "'fit and'bled" for the first League of Nations and will do whatever it can to secure congressional support for a similar covenant following this war. But we agree entirely with those who want only a : brief and indefinite commitment AT THIS TIME, the j details to be worked out later. Such action would remove the fear of our allies j that this country is at heart isolationist and after tho war would shy at any "foreign entanglements" as it : did two decades ago, and at the same time such a ' measure can be passed now, and the real danger of imposing terms and regulations which might not fit the post war conditions at all, can be avoided. i Personal Health Service By William Brady.

Brady bars of the cheering section and far too few players In tha game. It seems to me that kids today have forgotten most of the games which Involve a great deal of running and similar activities. The young ones ride to school nowadays. Before the internal combustion engine the young ones absorbed a good deal of oxygen walking to and from school a mile or two of it two or three times a day. . For the student or the white collar worker or the office or business man or woman profes sional baseball as a sport is wretched kind of amusement, diversion or pastime. So Is foot ball. There isn't room here to elucidate the physiological and pathological reasons why these sources of vicarious thrills, hys terical emotion, make-believe heroics are harmful to sedentary folk. If you wish to learn more about it, look up in the public library Cannon's Bodily Changes in Pain, Hunger. Fear and Rago (Appleton, 'IS), especially the last chapter on Alternative Satis faction for the Fighting Emo tions. For these poorly educated, poorly trained young people a few drags on a cigarette give an alternative satisfaction or rather temporary inhibition or restraint of the natural impudse to DO LSOMETHING fight, run away, work, play, exercise to use the energy liberated by the emotion, whatever it may be. When this alternative is adopted as a habit, the body machinery inevitably suffers. The individual, no mat ter how limited in intelligence, cannot help realizing sooner or later that he or she is Inferior and consciousness of that fact very often leads the poor to seek forgetfulness In alcohol.

If Mr. Brown saw these things coming, he chose the right time to leave, while his OPA has es tablished at least a semblance of orderly price restraints. The whole price-wage Ques tion now has been thrown into a battle of statistics. Mr. Brown says prices have gone up only 12 per cent, weekly wages 33 per cent, corporate profits 13 per cent since Pearl Harbor implying labor has received more than Its share already. nTHE United States Chamber of Commerce has figures show ing wages are up 214 timet (a. most tripled) since" 1939. But the labor leaders say that 15 per cent increase allowance of the littlir steel formula it not enough to pay the increased cost of living since January 1942 and they must have more money. Thus, figures do lie. Statistics are like rubber-bands which can be stretched to nearly any de sired reasonable length. You can make them say practically any thing you want by two methods commonly practiced now in and out of the government. The first Is to choose a 'past period for comparison which will Justify your political atti tude. Next, you can stretch your figures perhaps 00 per cent or more either way by a choice se lection of items to be considered. (These are never made public.) For instance, you can still count furniture, new automo biles, washing machines and re frigerators In the cost of living, although no one can get any. You can prove wages hava not increased much by including white collar workers outside th unions, or you can prove they hava quadrupled by counting only tha unions where tremend ous increases have been granted (construction workers, shipyard!, etc.) Or you can becloud tha In creases that actually have been The Oregonian doet not eon M.r it an lmolety to disagree with tha Medford Ministerial at sociation's recent resolution con demning University of Oregon authorities for permitting use of h nmnua for a Sunday foot ball game. And to w cheerful'y disagree. Tha game was piayw between the university t army MnM and the 104th cavalry team from Marshfield. The mili tary duties of the contestant al low them little tlma for disports or athletic contests on week days, and tha rigor of their rou tine reouires them to oe up ana at it before dawn, while tha rest of ut are turning over for an other snooze. We see no harm In their playing football on Sunday, and none the more so because they happened. to play a game on the campus of a public university. WWW SUCH applied narrowness of rinrirln. we dare SSV. has done more to prevent the churches that Invoke it from taking the place they covet, in community leadership, than aught else. Doctrine is not al ways religion. As an illustration of the absurd and anti-national lengths to which a severe Puri tanism may be carried, there lately was the Ontario Instance of wholesale arrests in York township for working on farms and In gardens on Sunday. The most vital of Christian principles are at stake in the war which Canada, as one of the allies. wages against the anti-Christ. and food Is essential to victory but the Ontarions invoked a do minion Lord's day act of 1843 to place creed before Christian victory. The difference between forbidding the production of food and the playing of football is only one of deeree. Christian realities lor the doctrine. We venture the sur mise that if our enemies were UnSlng on this Pacific shore, as once they planned, the Medford ministers' opinion on the propri ety of playing Sunday lootbaU on a college campus would be changed In the twinkling of an eye. . At the outset there was no In tent to write to vigorously of a .....noratiu tumnest In a teapot but one reflected that the Med ford ministers had gone so r as to style the indulgence im moral. That was too much Portland Oregonian. IT just seems impossible to foufid a national economy on statistics. Even if anyone here wanted pure, unadulterated sta tistics (and no one does, because all are seeking only to prove viewpoints already adopted), the collections of national figures would level off to an average which In itself is unjust because so few people experience the na tional average. The great bulk of the people either will be under It, (like teachers) or over it (like domes tic servants.) Now Mn Roosevelt Is using this situation obviously to bring congress around to his subsidy payment viewpoint, the idea of making the treasury pay a part of the higher prices so the con sumer will not think he is pay ing It, although, of course, he pays it all through taxation or bonds. Congress Is in no mood to ac cept this whole, but a compro mise eventually might be ef fected which would create the appearance of holding the pres ent line temporarily at least. Mr. Brown's timing seems perfect. REP. MIS. DEFINITE POLICY WE DOUBT it is even' one of a- , vi uwichuuuB illl- oortance attaches to the physical fitness of the young men who are obligated to fieht for the Medford Ministerial association, the University of Oregon, and all the rest of us that comprise America. Football makes for fit ness nothing more so. The bovs who played that Sunday game on me campus, on Hayward field, will be tougher competition for uie enemy tnan thn nnai dler. And, since they will be fighting for the Lord as well an lor America, we 'are Inclined strontsly to disagree with the din. turn that the Lord was displeased because they trained for His serv- on ounuay. ji course, no body know?.
