Wayne Morse is Right
We are asked what we intend to do about Wayne
Morse endorsing the C.I.O. Political Action commit
tee, as he did in a recent speech in Eugene.
The answer to that is
endorsement.
For what the Republican candidate for the U. S,
Senate said was this:
"l do not share the views of those In both the Republican
and Democratic parties, who appear to be so alarmed over
the growing participation of American labor In politics.
I welcome it. In fact I think we would have a healthier
democracy If various groups of our citizenry such as farm
ers, business men, professional mon.'women's organizations,
teachers and other social and economic groups would take a
more active part In politics. For too long a time politics
have been left to the direction of politicians and political
machines In both of the major parties with the result that
average citizens and the economic groups to which they
belong have relinquished to too great a degree their right to
control and determine political policies."
CXACTLY.
- In fact there Wayne Morse puts his finger on the
most serious weaknesses of our democracy, political
apathy and indifference; the tendency of the average
citizen to take no interest in politics, until election
day, and then nearly half of them, in most instances,
failing even to vote !
The answer to the C.I.O.
tee is not less participation
criticism of its action but emulation, and commendation.
THIS does not mean to endorse what specific polti-
cal action the C.I.O. may advise necessarily. In
any particular case the group may be wrong, or it
may be right, depending largely upon the political

and participation in politics, and to urge all other

INSTEAD of being criticized for such a statement as
the one above, the Republican candidate for the
Senate, should be enthusiastically commended for it.
For he is exactly 100 right. And the more "we
the people" follow his suggestion, and all it implies,
the better off we will be and the better government,
national and local, we will have.
Q. E.
As a corollary to the above, we might point to one
of the major evils of American politics, the corrupt
and degrading boss system that controls so many of
our larger cities.
How has it come about? Why, in an enlightened
and self-respecting countiy such as ours, is such a dis
graceful system allowed to continue, day after day
and year after year?
The answer in a nutshell, is what Wayne Morse
protests against, widespread political inaction and
indifference.
As a result in the larger
political activity and awareness on the part of a few
self-interested and unprincipled groups; none at all,
or practically none, on the

or what have you could overthrow their rotten
governments, any election day they wished if they
took the sort of active interest in local politics that
Dean Morse advises.
For a vast majority in any American city want good
government and honest government; but the plain
truth is they don't take the trouble to determine, what
such government is, and then go to the polls enmasse
and vote for it.
They would if they were as politically conscious
and active, or half as active, as the bosses them
selves and the key-members of their well-oiled and
skillfully conducted political machines.

The more widely such remarks are broadcast, and
understood, the more people will insist upon voting

Red Herrings, Etc.
At the recent Democratic convention in Chicago,
one of the grape-vine charges filed against Henry
Wallace was his extreme radicalism.
To support the charge two facts were brought forth :
(1) Wallace's recent endorsement of Stalin and the Rus
sian form of government.
(2) llillman's endorsement of Wallace, and the report of
Hillnan's union, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, that
"Its ultimate objective is through the tactics of the class
struggle to take possession of American industry."
The first charge is true.
The second may or may not be, we are inclined
to doubt it. Hut there is no reasonable doubt that the
radical background supported by these charges was
what defeated the Democratic Vice President, a
majority of the delegates favored Truman's 'boss
background" to Wallace's "Red" one, and that was
that! This from a party that maintains conservatism

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Quebec, Canada, Aug. 7. The
rise of socialism In Canada
heralded so much In our maga
z 1 n e s and
press seems
in hn a some-
kl what theoreti
cal affair. It
may have
looked real
enough in the
reports of the
June C. C. F.
(Co operative
Common
wealth federa-
I'aul Mallon tion) landslide
In Saskatche
wan, and on paper, H was. but
there is a catch in the matter.
While the program of the so
cialists calls for the government
to take over the banks, insur
ance companies, railways and
certain heavy Industries in the
province, the constitution re
quires that all acts of the pro
vincial parliament must be ap
proved uy the national parlia
ment. As the national body Is in
other hands, no legislation will
Be attempted.
Yet the C.C.F., riding on the
unexpected crest of that wave,
won increased power in Ontario.
and is now challenging In Al-
Derta where a full slate of candi
dates has been presented for
Monday's election. In Quebec
they put a few men Into the race
but only with a desire to gain
a provisional balance of power.
IT Is the new thing here. In
a mnci n V. - .1 i
problems are ours strikes,
debts, wage scales, prices, etc.
It seems to me she has handled
her war situation better than we
have. The economic statistics on
her price level are deceDtlve.
The costs of food, rent and cloth
ing seem to be about half Wash
ington s.
The best restaurant In Que
bec, for Instance, has a too nrice
of $1.15 for a five-course dinner.
ull course meals are available
in average restaurants for 30
cents. Yet luxuries are hisher
than ours. Cigarettes, for exam
ple, are 33c cents for a package
of 18. A man can live here in
Quebec for half what It costs In
Washington. The wage scale Is
correspondingly lower.
One eminent observer pre
sented the contrast of our sltu
tlon and Canada's fully when
he told me:
"Canada Is not trvine to feed
the world."
Yet socialism. Dure socialism.
Is the rising political ODDOsItion.
The wage scale, like our own,
now is the highest In all history.
There is practically no unem
ployment. Why then would an
opposition movement to over
throw capitalism become so
popular at the height of the war
when the people have more
money from capitalism in their
pay envelopes than ever?
Ihe only answer aDDarentlv is
that there is indefinable, vague
dissatisfaction and unrest among
ine peopie. we have the same
symptoms at home, but In our
case they are more clearly de
fined and have taken' the oppo
site trend toward increased pop
ularity for the republican party.
Here it has worked its way
Into numerous local issues and
prejudices not worth mention
ing, and found its outlet in the
C.C.F. Incidentally, commun
ism does not exist here except
as 'a sort of half underground
movement among a very few
people and there is no commun
ist party.
SOCIALISM Just does not fit in
a . j. -umo.J.. ,A ......... f . . 1
capitalistic system. The idea that
the worker will get more if the
profits are eliminated is to me
simple fallacy. The volume of
production of business any
business depends as much up
on the ingenuity and energy of
the management stimulated by
eagerness for profits as upon
the skill of the worker.
I think, under socialism, a
nntion will do less business than
under capitalism. Only if capi
talism fails, if It Is wrecked on
financial rocks, will socialism
come. Thus, Canada, in my
opinion, is Just as far away from
actual socialism todav as it ever
was. The C.C.F. has merely be
come the left wing In a position
somewhat like our communists.
I would say socialism is at least
as far away here as we are from
communism.
Seeing this. Prime Minister
Mackenzie King probably will
call a general election in the
fall, and if he does, the act in
Itself will be a rather sure Indi
cation that he expects to win.

Rising speculative demand for
cheap motor shares Imparted
strength to the entire stock list
today and completely dominated
the session.
Gains in the low-priced auto
motive shares ranged to more
than a point in Graham-Paige

group shared the advance. Activ
ity and strength in the specu

early last week when retirement
of the Fisher brothers from Gen

of unconfirmed rumors concern

Graham - Paige, most active
stock in all but one session last

Wants Place io Live
To the editor:
I am the wife of an officer of
the United States army. We have
three children. My husband is
being sent overseas and of neces
sity I am returning to my home
town, Medford, after living in
Wisconsin nine months.
Because of the children and
the need to have a home for
them, I asked my mother to try
to find a house for me. Well, ap
parently, there are quite a few
houses for rent there now, but
there arises the age-old gripe
and complaint, "Sorry, we don't
want children.
I wonder if people have for
gotten that they were once chil
dren, too, needing care and guid
ance and a place to call home!
And I wonder if any of you peo
ple there would care to put your
selves in my place or any of
the other thousands of girls
places who are exactly in the
same predicament with a fam
ily to care for, and only you to
see that they have the things so
necessary to pull them through
the hazards of youth to the ul
timate goal of good citizenship
and success in life? '
"Kids tear up the furniture,
mark on the walls and make
nuisances of themselves In gen
eral." Sure, I've heard that a thou
sand times. But, my friends,
didn't you, too, when you
thought you could get away with
It? Or were you all "model chil
dren"? My kids are normal and aver
age, but they don't play havoc
with the house if I can help it.
The whole point of all this is
the fact that I need a decent
place for myself and my cnlldren
to live; to have a home so that
my husband will know we are
safe and secure, and that he has
a home to come home to when
this unholy war is over.
If anyone there in Medford
can lend a hand and help me
find a suitable place, where chil
dren aren't barred, my appreci
ation would know no bounds,
and an immense weight would
be lifted from my mind.
Hopefully yours,
Mrs. Donald Mentzer,
La Crosse, Wis.,
co Mrs. H. W. Crocker,
Rt. 4, Box 72-A, Medford.
The "Editorial Fix"
To the editor: Concerning
the editorial fix as told us in
August 6 column:
(Expressed in Verse)
I will tell you now flat,
I don't know where we're at
For both parties stand pat
While now going to bat.
One Is for the commune
Altogether too soon.
For free enterprise, yet
Is the other firm set.
So now, what have we got?
That which figures Us naught . .
Should the editor's lot
Seem a spot that is hot?
If both sides "may be right"
In political fight.
Should the voters sit tight
While they wait for more light?
