According to Mr. Roger Babson the war with
Japan WILL be over in 30 days.
And if what the Wall Street expert believes to be
true IS true it may well be !
e e e
FOR Mr. Babson is convinced Generalissimo Stalin
went to Berlin with his final terms for entering
the war against Japan.
And item No. 1 was:
That "the United States drop its blanket demand
for "unconditional surrender," and accept the condi
tion not to invade or occupy the main islands of Japan,
if Japan will raise the white flag now and call it a
day.
This demand- the financial wizard further states,
was supported by the new Labor government of
England.
are
'IX'ELL, if this is correct; and we grant there a
' certain circumstantial evidences to sustain it-
then for the first time since Pearl Harbor this depart
ment sees light in the Far East, as far as final peace is
concerned.
For under such a set-up, Japan would not only be
dumb and fanatical but plain MAD not to accept such
a life and face-saving proposal.
Under it Japan would be spared what she fears
more than death national disgrace, humiliation ani
an extended period of what she would term racial
servitude.
True, she would lose her empire, she would be re
duced to the 3rd rate power status of half a century
ago; but she would remain intact and free as a nation.

like the Russian people, are fed up with war, and
want 'no more of it, if it can possibly and without
dishonor be avoided. This is especially true among
the working classes who now control the government.
So there is a lotrical basis for such a belief. It does
sound reasonable. There are only two flies in the
amber:
I. Is the report of such an offer correct?
II. If so, would the United States accept it!
Your Hsalth and It's Care
By DR. WILLIAM BRADY M.D.
Readers should address inquiries toi Dr. William Brady.

BIOLOGY MY EYE
Here Is a query from a high
school pupil
Our biology teacher says it is
dangerous to
use deodorant
liquid or
cream on the
skin as it may
stop up the
pores, and
cause cancer.
If the query
were excep
tional I'd ans
wer it by say
ing there is no
objec 1 1 0 n to
the use of such
(7
teachprs to think of-it.
A little squawk like this will
hardly interest the men and
women who administer public
education. But I don't so much
about that. I'm shooting at the
youngsters themselves. You nev
er know some high school boy
or gin may read this and be put
on guard against the old hokum
bunkem one is so likely to get
in biology class.
Dr. Brady
liquic. or cream, provided it does
not set up annoying irritation.
and I'd delete the reference to
the biology teacher. But it is
not unique. It is rather typical
of many such queries. And so it
seems to me a look at biology
is indicated.
In the first place, if you will
consult Webster for a definition
of biology you will pardon the
sardonic smile on my map. To
duo me balderdash the unedu
cated teachers feed the high
school children "biology" is as
absurd as any pretentious hokum
in Yankee popular education,
In the next place, how does
the teacher qualify to teach this
humorous subject called "biol
ogy" in high school? That is easy
any teacher who has an hour
or period not taken up by some
seriouy subject such as physics
or algebra doubles in biology.
What's the dif? It's all a lot of
hooey anyway. At least that's
what the teachers of real sub
jects like history, rhetoric and
Latin think of human anatomy,
physiology and hygiene and
that's the way the politicians on
the board of education expect'
QUESTION'S & ANSWERS
Migraine
I cannot begin to express my thank
iulness for vour recommendation of
calcium for mlr.Talne headache. It gave
some relief from the very first dose
and by the aecond day the migraine
was over the first relief I have
ever had for years I spent nearly
two davs out of every week vomiting
with sick headache, but for several
months now I have not had more than
a mild attack lor a month at a time
(C. H.)
Answer I am glad to know you
found relief. On written request (not a
clipping) I will send any reader who
provides stamped sell addressed en
velope pamphlet on headache. If you
wish, inclose ten cents for booklet
"The Calcium Shortage."
Varicose Ulcer
Since using vuur treatment fUnna
paste ooot) the varicose ulcer on my
leg and ankle has about half healed
out. Your pamphlet says to leave boot
on for several weeks, but I have been
changing It once a week. I wonder if
I am doing wrong? Should 1 stay in
Dea or may l Keep on worklnr?
(A. B.)
Answer If you must change the
boot so often I suggest that you use
instead the other treatment described
in the pamphlet if you can get the
necessary rubber sponge. With either
treatment the more you walk about
the better. Treatment of varicose veins
and varicose ulcer is described In

dren's home Society prefers couples

Answer Your ape and wealth are
minor factors. Your character is the
important factor. If the organization
takes that arbitrary course you had
better get out of line and begin scout
ing for yourself.
(uopvrignt by John r. Dine co.)
I will promote this basic educa
tion, this inter-group under
j standing, they are teachers in
i deed. Regardless of where in
; the school system they serve,
they will posses opportunities
that well may be envied by any
university Ph. D. professor in
the land1 The best insurance for
everv individual and for the
nation as a whole is that every
one learn some trade.
P. S. Althought I personally
greatly regret the defeat of Mr.
Churchill, I believe it will short
en' the Japanese conflict. Now,
England will join Russia in urg
ing us not to invade the Japan
ese Homeland if the Emperor
will give up his ill-gotten terri
tories, which terms I believe the
Japanese will accept. Hence,
reoeat mv forecast of a few
weks ago, namely, that the Pa
clfic War will be over some time
this year, perhaps within thirty
days.

The wisest one-sentence comment on the Potsdam
pronouncement comes from Senator Elbert D. Thomas
of Utah:
"If we go slow we will have a better peace."
CORRECT!
For the slower the process the greater the time al
lowed for adiustment. And the greater the time al
lowed for adjustment the less likelihood of making
mistakes very likely serious mistakes.
a
TPHE great danger in this peace program, as in all
peace programs following a terrible war, is haste
and hate doing things on impulse and m anger as
a result of passion and pressures induced by war
rather than rational action taken in an atmosphere
of sober thought and cool wisdom.
All in all, we believe the peace treaty outlined
it has not been definitely drawn up as yet is about
as reasonable and fair as could be expected.
There is nothinrr soft about it.
But on the other hand, it holds out some hone of
salvation to the German people if they behave them
selves.
And. ns time rops on. not onlv will allied passions
cool, but the situation throughout Europe will change,
the German temper will change and what appears
necessary today may very well not appear so a year
from today or two years.
CO an excellent idea go SLOW !
Don't rush things.
We don't mean any needless dilatory action. We
do mean, under the administration of this new allied
council now taking over, the exercise of caution, re
straint, and, above all, looking forward- not oacK-
wnrd. mittincr the. future and the welfare ot tne
WORLD first, not the past and the self-interest of any
one PTOup.
Tlini-f. is nnthincr to lose bv such a program. There
may be MUCH to gain not for any one nation but
for all!
We Need More Mechanics
Babson Discusses the Learning of Trades
Seeds of War
Senator Taft of Ohio-thinks the dismemberment
of East Frussia civing one part to Poland, another
to Russia contains the seeds of another war.
In our opinion the senior Senator of Ohio is en
tirely right.
This "partition" does contain the SEEDS of
another war. It is also directly contrary to the essen
tial principles of the Atlantic charter.
DUT sowing the seeds of war, does not necessarily
0 mean having war. The seeds of war, like any
other seed. have to be nurtured, cared for, given air
and sunlight.
As time goes on we believe the errors thus com
mitted on Russia's western borders will become more
and more apparent.
And we have sufficient faith in the United Na
tions charter particularly the assembly and its func
tion of free discussion to believe there will be a
fairly good emce these seeds will be destroyed be
fore they can germinate asd produce another crop
of widespread destruction, suffering and disaster.
l ne clanger will not arise for another decade at
least. And before then it will be plainer than today
we hope, that certain fundamental principles of Chris
tianity are not only good morals, but good business!
Babson Park, Mass., August 3
(Special Correspondence Three
reports happened to reach my
desk within a few days of each
other. The first tells of the great
Scientific Congress recently held
in Russia. Representatives of
the United States returned to
tell us that the Soviets aid to
give the youth of Russia vast ed
ucational opportunities in sci
ence. The second was Dr. Van
nevar Bush's inspiring analysis
laid before President Truman
and entitled: 'Science, The End
less Frontier." Proposal: To de
velop scientific talent in Ameri
can youth. The third report atop
my desk is a letter from a high
school teacher in a small town
of the Mid-West; but first let me
say just a word of comment on
the recommendations of Dr,
Bush.
Nation of Edisons
If Trades Learned
Thomas Edison himself In
person once stated to me in sub
stance: "People call me a great
inventor but I tell you, Babson,
there is no reason why this na
tion cannot have thousands of
Edisons. I mean there should be
thousands of men and women
who, if they would, could learn
trades and could produce useful
Inventions." Therefore, I heart
ily applaud the program of our
wartime Office of Scicntic Re
search and Development. But
remember that the basis of any
such program requires more
young people to first become
proficient in some one practical
every-day trade.
Not every young man and
woman is endowed with apti
tudes for the natural sciences. I
hope that somewhere in the pro
gram an unfolding place will ap
pear for young people whose tal
ents are for the more practical
things of life. After ail, we all
know that great oaks come only
from small acorns. This brings
me back to the third report to
which I referred above. What
about the letter from the high
School teacher in the Mid-West?
It reads in effect:
Bettor Understanding
of Nearest Neighbor
'Returning servicemen will
be greatly needed to work at
trades In small towns. Rural
areas need and will continue to
need plumbers, painters, plas
terers, paper hangers, and elec
tricians. I have always lived a
part of each year on the farm.
During the school term, I live in
the homes of factory workers,
some of my relatives are sales
men. I hear all sides (farm
folks, industrial and business
employes) and I see how each
would benefit by better under
standing of the other. To me it
seems that world unity as well
as community welfare, will best
be promoted by home unity
through better understanding of
our i.earest neighbors."
This neighborly message has
real significance today because
it speaks for the people who
must put any American program
for either full employment or
world peace Into practical ac
tion. No chief executive on
earth, whether Marshal Stalin
or President Truman, or any
other honored leader, can lead
without followers. In the end
it will be the citizens particu
larly the citizens now in schools
who will be the chief execu
tives of any program. This ap
plies to education in every form
and in every community.
Cooperation Rd$ts On
Mutual Acquaintance
This correspondent from the
heart of our country has beijun
in the right way. Our key
groups of people (the farm
group, the factory group, and
the sales group) together must
face the common fact that the
real goal of all is not selfish
pressure", but national pro
gress! I do not go so far as to
suggest that every booster of a
bloc Is a blockhead. Some
pressure-ists no doubt are In
spired by honest zeal for nation
al weal. I merely forecast that
if the American way is to prove !
its superiority in the years to
come, we have no time to squan
der in Intramural feuding.
Cooperation and coalition
rest solidly only upon mutual
acquaintance. Only understand
lng of the other fellow helps you

Circuit Court Judge H. K.
Hanna ruled Friday in favor of
Ted R. Flury, doing business as
Otto's club, who had appealed
an Oregon Liquor Control com
mission suspension which charg
ed that one of the club em
ployees had sold liquor to a
minor.
Judge Hanna found that
Flury's employee had made an
honest effort to determine the
minor's true age, declining to
accept as proof a driver's license
on which the year of issuance
had been obliterated. Among
other items of proof offered the
employee did accept a birth cer
tificate, although, the judge said,
the year of birth was later
shown to have been altered by
"means artful enough to fabri
cate documentary evidence."
The judge further held that,
as a prudent man, the employee
of Flury was perhaps most con
cerned as to the nature and au
thenticity of the document pre
sented rather than suspicioning
and looking for the alteration of
a figure.
Concluding his finding, Judge
Hanna said it "would perhaps
be advisable to notify all li
censees of the danger of being
deceived by forged or altered
documents purporting to evi
dence the age of an individual."
Tollowing receipt of the find
ing, O. H. Bengtson for the ap
pellant, said he felt Judge Han
na's stand would have wide ef
fect on future interpretation of
Oregon Liquor Commission rules
as to selling to minors. The at
torney said he believed that ju
veniles and their parents should
be given at least a portion of
the punishment meted in cases
where sellers were deliberately
deceived as to the buyer's age,
instead of placing the entire bur
den upon dispensers, most of
whom make an honest effort to
obey the law.
Bengtson, a Jackson county
representative in the legislature,
is a member of the interim com
mittee for study of Juvenile delinquency.
