Churchill Chickens Return Too bad I When Prime Minister Churchill made that "hands across the sea" speech at Cambridge, Massachusetts, early in September we feared it was a diplomatic blunder the first time our Homeric hero had nodded. And now twej months None other than Alf. lican presidential candidate, in a reply to Walter Lippman s criticism ox himself asKs: "Who is going to be Roosevelt or Churchill?" WHO indeed! There is the partisan-isolationist reaction, -the only surprising thing is it it to jell. And as remarked, at the time, if the suggestion for such an alliance between the two great English speaking countries had corne from this side of the ocean, there would have For Britain would never complain, nor shun any such advances. Quite the have the United States. HAVE to have Britain would, in the opinion of this department, help BOTH countries. But with the initiative pven from sucn a very popular cntisner as iur. Churchill, a certain revival of the "ancient grudge" was inevitable, the. old Yankee suspicions and fears, some may have thought dead but have only been sleeping, were bound to be aroused again. And that is, we repeat, too bad. The former Kansas governor ends up with this final fling: "I do not want to see the world lined up on the basis of nnurpr.nnlitira and nllianct leadine to the inevitable. That has been the mistake In the past. If the President will dis avow Mr. Churchill's suggestion for an exclusive British American alliance, this whole case 1 ready for dismissal. Of course President Roosevelt can do no such thing, and would not if he could. Mr. LiDDman mav come back and accuse Alf of pettifogging, putting words and meanings into the Prime Minister's mouth which were never uttered and never intended. But there is the rub I "Oh that mine enemy might write a book 1" For the text of that Harvard University speech is on file, and while Mr. Churchill at no time spoke ex plicitly of any "exclusive" alliance between the two countries, that interpretation can be placed upon cer tain passages, and the more the. anti-isolationists try to explain otherwise the worse the situation for them will become. v . t CO it would have been Churchill had allowed Governor Dewey, the New York Herald-Tribune, or some other strong pro British spokesmen in this country to carry this Anglo- American alliance ball in game, instead of tackling "Not A Party Well, just what did. Winston Churchill say, and what did he mean? The speech was a felicitious one, delivered in a warm, friendly and highly mospherea graduate of award of an honorary degree irom Harvard univer sity. ' ' .. ... . . -... : That fact should be kept in mind. The British Prime Minister undoubtedly spoke more informally and frankly than would have been the -case before the congress in Washington, for example. And the political significance of what was said therefore, should be discounted by those who care for the truth and not for some interpretation that would give par tisan or personal advantage. According to Mr. Landon the whole spirit of Mr. Churchill's Btudied statement, however, contemplated the most exclusive kind of an alliance, not only a com mon citizenship but a common sovereignity. Well, here probably are leader had in mind : "Now In mv opinion it Improvident act on the part either of them, to break up this smooth running and im mensely powerful machinery the moment the war is over. For our own safety as for the security of the rest of the world we are bound to keep it working and In running order after the war, probably for a good many years, not only until we have set up some world arrangement to keep the peace but until we know that it is an arrangement that will really give us that protection we must have from danger and aggression a protection we have already had to seek across two vast world wars. I am not qualified of 1 course to Judge whether or not this would become a party question In the United States, and I would not presume to discuss that pomt. I am sure, however, that it will not be a party question in Great Britain. We must not let go of the security we have found necessary to preserve our lives and liberties, until we are quite sure we have some thing else to put In its place which will give us an equally solid guarantee." In other words, Mr. Churchill favored a continua tion of the military alliance that now exists, after the fighting has stopped, and not only until such time as some more permanent and inclusive peace league is formed, but until the value of that organization as a protection against war has been established. There is no suggestion, no intimation whatever, of a common citizenship or a common sovereignty. Undoubtedly Mr. Churchill had nothing of the sort in mind. But that ia Mr. Landon's interpretation and that, we fear, will be the internretation of the rabid anti-Roosevelt and anti-British fanatics throughout me country. The 'unfortunate thing Is, the British rnme Minister did not loresee such an outcome be fore the statement was made. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, later comes the pay-off. M.

On this basis I Deueve the patient with Parkin son's disease should regular ly supplement his diet with calcium and vi tamin D daily. How to do this is described in pamphlet "The Calcium Short age," mailed on Oi. Brady request if you Inclose twenty cents, or ten cents and a three-cent-stamped envelope bearing your address. Expe.'ience hss shown that Parkinsonian patients should re main as active as possible, al though the tendency is to re main idly seated or lying abed much of the time, and that per mits the rigidity to become so extreme that, if they try to walk at all they walk like living stat ues. They should do regular light calisthenic exercises, noth ing strenuous at all, just mild movements calculated to pro mote or maintain freedom, re silience, grace of movement. Discussing the subject in N. Y. State Jour, of Mod. In the mid summer of 1943, Drs. Morton H. Hand and A. M. Rablner lik ened Parkinsonian rigidity to frozen water. Water freezes on a cold day, but is less likely to freeze if it is moving. Let Park insonian patients beware of the temptation to sit and think or to sit and vegetate or to lie abed more than the necessary sleep ing time. That way the rigidity is likely to become so mark--J as to be actually painful and dis able the victim. Do not give up your regular work or occupa tion because nf Parkinsonian tremor, so long as you can pos sibly hang onto your lob. Don't be pushed into a corner before your time. After all, what s a little tremor and maybe a slight impediment in walking, between friends? Step out for a short walk fre quently every day, rain, shine snow or blow. Practice a few dance steps many times a day. bKlp the rope. Take up your knitting, crocheting or needle point to occupy your hands when you do sit for any length of time.

The devious ways of conflict ing bureaucracy obviously have succeeded only so far in mak ing a deficient matter practi cally Impossible. But not the least phenomenal aspect was presented when Mr. Lewis, the supposedly beloved and Iron-willed dictator of the miners, pleaded ineffectively with his men to go back to work. For days and days they Ignored him. Does this mean Lewis has lost control of the miners? Not In the slightest. When he sent wires to the Alabama strikers, for in stance, urging them to go back, the men simply refused to be lieve the telegrams were au thentic. Two hot Lewis wires got no where. So Mr. Lewis dispatched personal emissaries to the fields and told the men the signatures were valid and they should re turn, to work.

Brother hood Leaders Harrison. Robin son and Whitney have forcefully torn the administration the 4 cents an hour wage increase and back pay to April 1 granted by atamuzer Vinson after WLB had recommended 8 cents, could not possibly be accepted. xney implied they would lose their Jobs as heads of the unions If they tried to accept It. If they are correct, the current union vote will go against the govern ment settlement. In the end, the government may be forced to give in for 8 or 6 cents in accordance with the apparent policy of negotiating for the best poss'ble settlement in each case. In this case, Vin son, rather than WLB, is being blamed for the critical, unsettled mess.

When used at first sniffle, nor$ignofacold,Va-trrJhe!pj rassp VICKS VA-TR-nOL Y.HEEZY w In effect), the government will be presented with similar de mands from them for increases. Worst of all, no one in the administration or outside seems to have an answer to the prob lem. My guess is there is no answer, matters having gone this far. The condition must be accept ed as an eye-opening example of the deficiencies of managed economy, the inefficiency of bu reaucracy, and the difficulties presented by a revolutionary un ion movement against sympa thetic government during a des perate world war to protect the bargaining freedom of labor and the individual. If it doe not make sense. It at least makes America the ha ven of confused economic and political currents it ia today. Olive Barber's Observations Again I quote from Private Buck, our neighbor lad who is now an army cook In the South Pacific. He's lately discovered avacados. "I eat them in every thing I fix for myself," he states, "and never seem to get enough. There are lota of them growing here and are supposed to be fattening. I could stand a little of that. "I haven't had the pleasure of eaUng a tomato in 16 months. You know tomatoes are my fa vorite food. The next time I see a field of tomatoes, I'm going to sit in the middle of it and eat tomatoes for three days. "I never discovered tomatoes until past 20 years old. Be cause my father didn't eat them, t ,t f. ,rt ..-. no good. But once I found how good they really were, I hoped I'd live to be a hundred so I could hake up for those 20 lost years. "The other cook just came in and said there was a letter for me. I asked, Who from?' 'From Olive', he replied. So you see you're not Mrs. Barber, or even Olive Barber; just Olive. Either you or Frank could walk into our kitchen and wouldn't need an Introduction, I've talked so much about you. "We all read each other's letters. Harry just got a letter from his sister in England. She says one pound of grapes costs the equivalent of five dollars. A small melon is 45 shillings, or almost twelve dollars. "Our old lady cat has had three batches of kittens this sum mer. (This is the cat who had her kittens in a shell hole one time and in a gun pit the next. The same cat who carried her litter into the pantry just as the offi cer came around on an inspec tion tour. She so won over the officer with her feminine bland ishments that she was allowed to stay 'if she Is a clean cat'. The cooks swore she was.) I think she has. an A card, or whatever kind it takes to get the most over there in the States. "There is a bread fruit tree growing right close to my shack. Last night a very large bread fruit dropped on the roof di rectly over my bed. For a min ute, I thought we were being bombed." He then gave a most Interest ing account of a visit he made to a native home, which I'll in clude in a later column.

"The subsidies that were used (to 'meet special-farming costs without raising prices to consumers) cannot properly be called producers subsidies or consumer subsidies," ha said, "They are war subsidies. The costs which they cover are war costs. "On the farm as in industry the war has pushed costs above the levels that prevailed before the outbreak of war, and above the levels that will prevail when victory has been won. These are costs of war, and it is en tirely appropriate that they should be met out of the public treasury, just as are the costs of producing tanks and planes and ships and guns. To Hold Line . He reiterated, citing many statistics to support his reason ing, his determinltation to hold-the-line against inflation. The nation cannot afford to acquire the "habit" of inflation he said, because "we have children to think of." Those who advocate inflation must be prepared to accept the responsibility for re sults, he added. "This is no time to start wan dering into an untried field of uncontrolled and uncontrollable prices and wages," he said. The President reviewed the food production program of 1943 and asserted that despite cries in some quarters of "meat fam ine" and "food shortage" the American people as a whole are eating more now than they did before Pearl Harbor. "A shortage in sirloin steak and in choice fruits," he said, "does not mean that the war program has failed." ". . . Ninety three per cent of American housewives agree that a good job (of food distribution and rationing) a job fair to all has been done. Unfortunately the seven per cent who are not satisfied are more vocal. . . . Farmers Lauded Mr. Roosevelt said the patriot ism, resourcefulness and ability of the American farmer aad in 1943 to overcome manpower, machinery and fertiliser short ages to produce an incredible amount of food. Ke promised that the amount o' steel for farm machinery was being doubled and that It would be unlimited for production of repair parts. He scotched "talk about im pending "meat famine"' with a report that from October until next March total meat produc tion, excluding poultry, would amount to 14,400,000,000 pounds dressed weight, compared with 12,800,000,000 pounds during the same period last year. He conceded that the armed forces and lend-lease would take more of the food supply next year 14 per cent of pro duction for the armed forces compared with IVt last year, about 28 per cent of total pro duction. Then he added that there wouk be more soldiers in both the American army and navy and the Allied services and pointed out that servicemen eat more than civilians.
