Mania Orego(0 r U B L I S HI E R Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Marshall Petain, as predicted in this column many weeks ago was convicted of treason but not executed. Had the Marshall been a citizen of this country, under similar conditions, he would have been ac quitted. That is if he had ever been tried, which is doubtful. For in this country it is assumed a man is innocent unless his guilt has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In France the accused must prove his innocence, his guilt is assumed. Equally important perhaps, in this country politi cal mistakes are not regarded as crimes. In France they often are. particularly when war or fear of war exists. 'IXT'E doubt if any American, much less 12 of them, who attended the trial would have for a moment maintained Petain's treason had been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. There was, from the evidence in fact every rea son to believe that, while the old Marshall was mis taken in his assumptions, and pro-Fascist in his polit ical beliefs, he did what he did for what he believed to be the best interests of his country and not to give aid and comfort to the Germans. In all likelihood history will record the trial and punishment of the "Hero of Verdun" as a striking ex- 1 " 1 J ' 1 L' .1 Jwmnfin, ample OI political JjeiStJCUUUii aim jjuairwai mjuomc That verdict will clo tne oia marsnau nine goou He will not be on this earth to bear it !

( TMR HOOVER can't see the essential picture has "i am going south for the l changed, somewhat as Don Quixote could not see winter," stated Mrs- J Cochran the Age of Chivalry had passed n.omn, at a pre-going away Which It Is only a fortnight since I gave my opinion that a glass of wine or beer once or twice a day makes life eas ier for many elderly folk and that when the old folk have their daily solvent they are eas- ier to live with. It is . too early to assay the effect of this, I suppose, aVLitJoa but up to this Dr. Brady writing I have not read the blizzard of letters I expect to receive in conse quence. In approving and advocating this regular use of alcoholic beverages by elderly people I am not unmindful of the fact that my mother was an active member of the Women's Christ ian Temperance Union, that she persuaded her children to give her a sacred pledge nothing is more sacred than a promise to one's mother against the use of any form of alcohol or tobacco before we were twenty-one. I still believe that if some millions of children fated to grow up In Yankeeland today had mothers like mine in that respect well It wouldn't be so bad for their hanniness and welfare. If mO' thers are indifferent about it, then wouldn't it be a fine thing if fathers assumed such protec tive custody of their children during the formative years? What I mean to say is that if the influence of the W.C.T.U and of other temperance socie ties nr movements was needed when he were kids in Cananrtai- gua and only abandoned women ventured to visit even the high class bar. what a rotten break the kids get today, with the easy enticement of the "cocktail lounge" on every corner and so phisticated ladies (eh!) doing their stuff there. Perchance some readers will infer than I am inconsistent. I advise the old folks to have a glass of wine or beer twice a day for the sake of health and good cheer. At the same time I ad vise young people to be total ab stainers for at least the first fifty years, and no ifs or ands about it. It's like this: From my knowl edge of the action of alcohol on the body, its effects on metaool Ism, physical and mental effic iency, respiration, circulation, growth, development, I am con vinced that in any concentration or quantity alcohol is always harmful and often dangerous to any one who has not reached full maturity and begun to die. This is not just my notion but the simple truth: All life, ani mal, vegetable, human, follows the ordained cycle of birth, growth, development, reproduc tion, maturity, decline or degen eration and death. Death is the periodic reduction of life mater ials to elementary form for re construction. At no point in the life cycle is there a perceptible pause. It is constant change. In the biological sense death is the gradual decline or degeneration that begins the moment the body has attained full maturity. The rate of progress of this decline depends largely upon the body's nutritional condition. That, of course, depends on how you have lived. And so I say, if and when you have begun to die, a glass of wine or beer once or twice a day will make your dying easier for you and for those who love you and live with you.

To the editor: The deepest pain and the greatest anguish felt by parents today is not caus ed by a message that a son or daughter has been killed in ac tion, for our faith in God com forts us, that our beloved one is safe in His all-gracious care. Neither is it the news of some one near to us being wounded, for the abiding hope that is in spired by that same faith bears us up to meet the most dismay ing facts. But something we have no balm to heal is the wounds inflicted by our children who seem to delight in ignoring our authority, denying our wisdom shunning our advice, and doing things against our wish and will Strangely, too, our youth do not seem to understand their own actions and seem to share in the suffering. Our sin is great, for by it our children are separating them selves from God's ways and are not likely to ever find Him and the abiding Peace He alone can give; for if they do not love and obey their parents, whom they have seen, how can they love God, whom they cannot see? And He has commanded, "Thou shalt honor thy father and thy mother, that it may be well with thee." We must pray for forgiveness and humble ourselves before our Heavenly Father, as we would have our children do. We must pray that they have understand ing and be led in the way of truth and righteousness. Our God and our Christ have not failed us, but we have failed them. They ask only that we "return" and they will return to us. Let us begin to do that today. Frances Ray, Ralston.Wash. Adm.

Too Late to Claulfy 13:13 p m Washington, Aug. 18 U.F9 The two foremost authorities on the far east in congress tonight approved allied use of the Jap anese emperor in obtaining sur render but warned that we must be ready to change tactics if Hirohito fails to control Japan's military forces. Sen. Elbert Thomas, D., Utah, chairman of the senate military affairs committee, a teacher in Japan, also proposed that Dutch, I Australian, New Zealand, Fill-1 pino and American Japanese troops be used in the occupation of Japan in addition to big four forces. "That would certainly show the Japanese that this was not a racial war, and that we are willing to give members of the Asiatic races equal opportuni ties with anyone else," he said. Rep. Michael Mansfield, D., Mont., considered the No. 1 house expert on far eastern af fairs, proposed immediate re vision of the Japanese constitu tion to eliminate the privileged legal position of the military leaders. Thomas and Mansfield dis cussed future Japanese problems on the weekly (NBC) radio pro gram, "Our Foreign Policy." They were in general agreement on the policy to be pursued to ward Japan, although Thomas was more - optimistic about the policy thus far laid out. They agreed that: 1. If the allies conduct their occupation of Japan wisely, they can bring about a more demo cratic way of life in Japan. 2. Using the emperor for ob taining, surrender was wise and saved thousands of American lives, but the extent of his fu ture usefulness will bear close watching. 3. A democratic Japan, and a democratic, united, prosperous China are essential to peace in the far east. Mansfield admitted that China was badly split now between the Chungking and Communist groups. But once its internal dif ficulties are solved, he said, China will take Japan's place as the great Asiatic power. Thomas felt that Japan's sur render may force the Chinese factions to settle their differences Flight o' Time Madloid and Jackson Co.

Pacific northwest broadcast ers took the poll in Montana, Oregon and Washington.
