(U.R) A senate committee Investigat ing the liquor shortage callgd upon the nation's distillers to day to show "good faith" by re leasing more bonded whisky as result of the current 30-day "liquor holiday" permitting the manufacture of beverage alco hol. In a report covering the sec ond phase of its investigations, the committee, headed by Sen. Pat McCarran, D., Nev., said that "hoarding" by the distillers was as much to blame for the shortage as any illicit actions by other segments of the public. "It is obvious," the report charged, "that the large distil lers wish to retain substantial stocks of aged whiskies in their bonded warehouses until after the war so that they will be in a better position to command higher prices and realize great er profits at the expense of an unsuspecting public."

According to press reports the wise boys down on Wall Street are laying odds of one to two "there will be peace in Europe by Labor Day." If that report is literally correct then here is a great chance for the "Gamboleers" to make some easy money by taking the short end of the wager. For it is as certain as anything in this uncertain world can be that there will be no peace in Europe a month hence, or six months for that matter. Germany may be out of it by Labor Day. Germany might blow up tomorrow as far as that is concerned. But the defeat of Germany is one thing; peace in Europe quite another. And unless all Bigns fail, the end of this conflict as far as German participation is concerned, will not bring peace, but widespread revo lution; not only within the Axis empire, but without. It will be in reality a mopping up process on the part of the forces of human liberation all the way from the north cape to the Suez canal. There will be no peace m Europe until this job is done. , Different This Time? In commenting upon the situation in Germany shortly before the capituation in 1918, a German soldier in World War No. I, wrote in his diary as follows: "Again and again I used to become enraged and indig nant as I read the latest papers, depicting the reasoning of the German leaders, anticipating their ultimate defeat, and realized the nature of the mass murder they were com mitting, through their baleful influence on the minds of the German people and the soldiers. More than once I was tor mented bv the thought that if Providence had put the con duct of German propaganda in my hands instead of the hands of these incompetent and even criminal ignoramuses and weaklings, the outcome of the struggle might have been different. Who wrote that? None other than the man who now has the conduct of German propaganda in his hands, one Adolf Hitler! VES Adolf wrote that in his diary and later incor- porated it in "Mein Kampf". ' World War No. II, as far as Germany is concerned, has now reached about the same stage, that had been reached when Hitler made that observation. And if that bomb had killed Hitler the other day, no doubt the German general staff would have taken action similar to the action taken over a quarter of a century ago. But the bomb unfortunately did not kill Hitler, so it is a pretty safe wager history will not repeat itself as far as any immediate German capitulation is con cerned. Hitler is no doubt convinced that through the pro paganda produced by his master-mind and that of his "Charley McCarthy" Dr. Goebbels, the outcome this time WILL "be different." a m m 7AIN hope, that will needlessly cause the destruc- tion of thousands of human lives ! . But in the long view perhaps such a tragedy may prove a blessing in disguise. For instead of the end of this war marking a breath ing spell, for German militarism, aa was the case in 1918; it may well, thanks to Hitler's insane fanati cism, mark its COMPLETE destruction. A terrible price to pay, in one sense, but perhaps in the perspective of human history, not too great a price for the blessings thus derived. Getting Votes in S. Dakota During the state Democratic convention held in Aberdeen, South Dakota the other day, the chief address was made by Mr. Eugene Casey, one of Presi dent Roosevelt's executive secretaries, who made a J special trip from Washington tor that purpose. It was a pretty poor speech, at least as it came over the radio. The main theme was the Democratic party had nothing to apologize for in this campaign, and then the speaker proceeded to recite a long list of "alibis" for every charge brought against the admin istration by the opposition. The delivery was also poor. Mr. Casey gave the impression of reading a speech written by someone else, and reading it for the first time. ..... LJOWEVER, the real pay-off came later, as far as the present writer was concerned. After the speaker had concluded, the presiding officer in commenting upon the excellence of the performance, said he felt sure the delegates assem bled would be interested to know that "Brother Casey" had been so favorably impressed by what he had seen of the country surrounding Aberdeen and was so convinced of the continued agricultural pros perity of that section of South Dakota, that he planned to purchase a nearby farm before returning to Washington, and thus in a sense become a neighbor of those in convention assembled. ..... THE applause that followed this postscript to the speech, made the applause that followed the speech itself, sound like the distant buzz of a debili tated mosquito. Nothing was directly said to that effect, but of course the clear implication was that the &.ie would be CONTINGENT upon the perpetuation of the pres- i r ,.h ..:..:... ...' i Km ituuai'vt'ii iiumiuiMiauim in power j Casev struck out as far ns his sneech wns rnnrrrnrrl. but as a vote-getter in the dry-farming belt we doubt u nape Kutn m his prime could have done better.

Washington, Aug. 4 Treas ury Secretary Morgenthau has sent flocks of revenue agents in to the farm regions to check taxes, without mak ing any pub lic mention of the fact an unseemly thing around election time. I have never been able to undent and Mr. M o r gen thau's philoso phy on tax collections or the timing of the calls of his agents. Several excellent objective po litical reporters, off duty, made a farm-to-farm tour of several farming sections lately for per sonal reasons, and came back with the report that It is more republican today than four years ago. Even the dropping of Vice President Wallace is supposed to have cut two ways out there. While Wallace had identified himself almost entirely during his vice-presidential term with coddling the left-wing element and running international er rands for Mr. Roosevelt and his old AAA policies were distinct ly unpopular, he had many friends remaining apparently out through that region, person al friends presumably of his farm Journaling days. The rest of the farmers' ob jection to the administration is red tape. They also think their prices have been held down while labor was permitted to gain. As an example, the elut oi nogs Became such that the ! stockyards made the farmers j get permits before sales. But I the day the permit restriction ; was lifted, prices went up 35 I cents a hundred. This made them think the claim of an overloaded supply, as an excuse for the permit imposition, was wholly fictitious. Some weights of hogs have been sold at sac rifice prices, and, in many cases, farmers today are cutting down on their hog production, solely because of their experiences with the government manage ment. If meat demand keeps up, the supply may be scarce next spring. ... AND another thing: The farm " er sees the new deal still maintaining its AAA personnel j tnroughout the country. In many county seats, these gov ernment employes, who former ly wrote checks for the farm er, have little of nothing to do. However, the man on the trac tor has not noticed that any thing has been done about transferring these government employes to places where they might be useful. One wise old farm senator has looked back into the rec ords and says no president has ever been elected in this coun try without the farm vote. Yet here is Mr. Morgenthau chas ing the farmers on their income taxes. The taxpayer in the city finds his simple salaried return so involved as to be practically beyond average comprehension. The farmer's returns are more complex to prepare without complete bookkeeping and con siderable estimation. I suppose a revenucr- who knows how it should have been done properly could collect something more from practi cally all farmers. But what I cannot understand Is why Mr. Morgenthau chose this time to stir up more hornets In a po litical area where he well knows they are buzzing around just waiting for some iace to alight. ... WATCH for the administration " to lift from deep within pigeonhole in the file room the old guaranteed annual wage theory as a boon to labor. It probably will be sprung In a speech by New York Senator Wagner or someone of his left labor views. Unless it contains some fresh trimmings to make it more desirable and practical to all labor, it is not apt to be of much value. These two items of news which have come to me today show precisely what is wrong with this administration and apt to he wrong with its cam paign. Mr. Morgenthau is bear ing a stick into the hornets' nest and his cohorts are carry ing honey to left-wing labor. If I were running the demo cratic campaign, I would turn it around and send the tax agents In'o the labor unions and some honoy to the farmers. MRS. BERTHA CANNADY OF GOLD HILL DIES Mrs. Bertha Z.

Opportunity Is Knocking To the Editor: I Opportunity Is knocking at : Medford 's door, and at the last report the summons is yet un answered. A couple of weeks ago, a gen-' eral meeting of Jackson and Josephine egg producers was held here to further a plan for extending the facilities of the Pacific Cooperative Poultry Pro ducers association to the Rogue River valley. The general man ager and a number of the farmer directors of the association were present, and it was brought out ir. the discussion that Medford was the logical point at which to establish an additional egg re ceiving warehouse. Suffice it to say their reasons for selecting Medford were sound. Now, let .t be understood, that the Pacific, association, head quartered at Portland, is one of the most successful and outstand ing farmer-owned cooperatives that you will find the nation over. It's worth to farmers is measured by its ability to prop erly handle and market eggs, re turning the producer full value for his product. It has been my privilege to have observed the results obtained by this organi zation for its members during the past seven years, and it is my considered opinion that ex tending its benefits to Jackson County producers is a most im portant step in making egg pro duction here a sound community business. In a farming district, local merchants prosper only as the farmers prosper, therefore, in this instance the Medford busi ness men will be at once helpful to themselves if they can help es tablish this new business here. The initial problem appears to be that of obtaining track ware house space of suitable construc tion, and at a fair rental. Sev eral locations can presumably be made to meet these require ments.
