MINOR BLESSING
(Bend Bulletin)
"The native uprising In the
Netherlands East Indies has
resulted in the resignation of
Jonkhecr A. W. L. Tjarda Van
Starkenborgh S t a c h o u wer.
Whatever the outcome of the
disturbance may be it Is some
thing to atop having to deal
with a name like that. We '
wonder, by the way, what
thos Initials A.W.L. stand
for."

John L. Lewis has called off a
coal strike "In the public Inter
est." This was real nice of John.
Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public
showed weariness over the epi
demic of strikes, and the "every
thing is going to be all right" at
titude of the administration.
They both had something to do
with John's big-hcartcdness.

Upstate It Is Impossible to give
Danish squash away, let alone
sell It, not even to Danes. This
does not Indicate any contamina
tion in Denmark, but the fickle
ness of the public. Last year
there was a scarcity of Danish
squash and, how the people had
to have them. This year there is
a surplus. Nobody wants them.
e
The hot shots of the defunct
German "master race" will be
handed 25,000 word indictments
today, through the door of their
cells, charging them with start
ing the war, and many crimes ap
pertaining thereto. The defend
ants will then be given a month
to read the Indictment, pick a
lawyer, and, file a demurrer to
the indictment. There is no
chance for any legal speed In the
proceedings, such as character
ized the recent French trial of
the late traitor, Laval. Instead,
it is highly probable the trials
will last longer than the war did.
Everybody knows the defendants
are guilty, Including the defend
ants. The world would welcome
more speed, and less internation
al fooling around.

Editorial Correspondence
New York City, Oct. 16 Took a cross-town car to the west
end of 42nd street and the ferry across the Hudson to Weehawken.
The only purpose of such a Journey was to celebrate clearing skies
and a desire to see something of the waterfront. As luck would
have it we saw two large Red Cross ships unloading their per
sonnel, doctors, nurses, sick and wounded but were prevented
by cops from getting within 500 feet of them.
e e e
There were several hundred people on the ferry returning to
Weehawken after their day's work in New York. They were a
quiet, folksy, relaxed group, very different from those one sees at
the Grand Central every evening trying to catch the 5:15 to some
place in Westchester.
The little we could see of Weehawken between ferries, was
not very prepossessing, docks, ramshackle factories and empty
lofts, but the upper stories of apartment houses were discernible
further up the hill. A 10-minute ferry ride to 42nd street WOULD
have advantages over an hour on the N. Y. Ccntrall
e e e e e
On our return the N. Y. sky-line gilded by'the rays of the
setting sun, against a deep blue back-drop of clear sky, thrilled us,
as it always does.
We could Imagine what the same view would mean to the
doughboys returning from war in Europe, at least we thought we
could, but doubt if anyone who has never returned to this coun
try after such an experience, can really do so, Later again on the
street car two service men Just returned sat behind us, wish we
could have taken down their patter on a dictaphone, for one could
give no adequate Idea of it without the voice inflections and
general tone of exaltation, liberally sprinkled with profanity. But
profanity with a smile. Neither of them could get over the one
glorious fact, that at last they were back In the good old U.S.A..
and no one would ever get them

Thero Is one slight rift In the clouds, through which a ray of

which is now a going concern, with the signatures secured to give
it at least LEGAL life.
Such an organization, as we see it, never was so desperately
needed as it Is today. It is at this writing at least the only hope
of avoiding the most appalling disaster, the world has ever seen.

A recent dispatch reported
the marriage of a man 100 years
old. A Bostonian wants to know
if this Is the record for aged
bridegrooms. It isn't. Thomas
Parr, of England, was married
for the second time at the age
of 120. Ho was 80 when mar
ried for the first time. When
Parr, evidently a gay old bird,
was 105 years old his wife ac
cused him of running around
with other women. Ho was born
in 1483 and died at the age of
152. He Is buried in Westminster
Abbey.
How To Get Rich
It has been said one of the
best ways to acquire wealth Is
to sell something that retails for
five or ten cents and can only
be used once. Carl Laemmle
had this idea In his mind when
he left Oshkosh. Wis., to go into
business in rhir-ncn. Ha finally
decided to open a film theatre I
with the price of admission fix
ed at a nickel. As you know.
Laemmle ultimately became a
millionaire. Milton Hershey,'
who passed on recently, amass
ed a fortune estimated at $fi5.
000.000. The basis of this for
tune was a chocolate bnr soiling
for a nickel. Other great for
tunes have been earned from
nickel candy bars. For example,
that of Mrs. E. V. Mars. Then
consider the fortunes earned by
nickel soft drinks. That friend
of mine In Chicago who retails
nickel hamburgers through a
chain of eateries Is doing all
right too.

Horses & Women
In the 1944 national eleqtlon
53 per cent of the votes were
cast by women. Is claimed most
women vote the same ticket as
their husbands. That Is probably
true. However, I know a Repub
lican whose wife Is a Democrat.
They have some very heated
political arguments. But tl.eir
marriage is a very happy one.

track Is In Buffalo. N. Y. I say
It Is In Canada. Who has to
pick tip the check for the steak
dinner? A. The Fort Erie track
Is In Ontario, Canada, about six
miles from Buffalo. Q. Of which
state Is the official flower the
rose? A. Depends on what kind
of a rose you have In mind. The
New York state flower Is the
rose with no particular type
specified. The District of Colum
bia's flower is the American
beauty rose. Iowa's Is the wild
rose. North Dakota, the wild
prairie rose and Georgia's the
Cherokee rose.

women."
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, Oct. 19 People
do not seem to understand the
meaning of "inflation," which is
being raised as
a specter be
hind the daily
news of strikes,
wage battles
and govern
ment economic
planning. N o
one in this
country has
seen an infla
tion walking,
or I should say,
running.Adults
with memories
may recall it as something which
happened in Germany after the
last war, when a bushel basket
of money was necessary to buy a
meal. But in general the news
debate treats it as an infinite
kind of prospect without dimen
sions, a sort of . economic hell
they know can happen, yet they
cannot picture it.
e e
THE kind of inflation talked
about now should be easy to
understand, though roughly. We
have gone far enough toward it
to make the landmarks visible
It is unlike any which has gone
Detoro In history, because pri
marily it Is a price inflation.
In Germany the wreckage of
the money system and the bank
ruptcy of the country brought
the condition in which a glass
or Deer cost 100 marks or so.
In other countries such as China.
a depleted treasury already has
Brought comparative inflation.
We are not bankrupt and our
treasury took in $45,000,000,000
last year. Ours is an inflation of
prices directly. We have a short
age of goods, all goods, due to
war wastes, increased consump
tion and free distribution of our
supplies around the world. The
cost of many things already has
doubled since before the war.
e
MOW the unions want a 30
A ' per cent wage increase in this
time of a goods shortage. How
ever much they get of their de
mand prices will be increased at
least that much and probably
more.
If a man can sell his goods
for an ever-increasing price, he
will do it. If he controls a sel
lers' market such as we have now
where people pay anything
asked, he would be superhuman
if he did not resist both the loose
government regulations and con
science, if any.
BUT the courage of upward
wnee liimns nnH unwnrd
price Jumps will run, as soon as
the shortage of goods is over, in
to buyer resentment. The wage
price inflationary spiral inevit
ably must encounter the day
when they cannot pay the price
if they would, because the
wages of no other class have
increased as have the wages of
union labor. We are getting to
the point where we can see the
people will close their pocket
books and strike or will have
to strike in the economic sense,
purchasing only that which is
necessary.
Then the house will fall down.
The spiral will collapse with a
thud. Declining demand will
cause declining production, un
employmentdepression. e
PROM then on the depression
can go many ways. The gov
ernment cannot collect even
$35,000,000,000 or a fraction of It
from a country In the throes of
depression. Declining business
brings declining tax receipts.
The government can hardly bor
row on top of a S300.000.000.000
war debt for deficit financing to
promote another gigantic spend
ing program to save the situa
tion. It would probably start the

It is reasonable to expect the

nation in similar circumstances

Then would come dictatorial
socialism. It would have to be a
dictatorship because the world
knows no other way to handle
people who will not behave of
their own accord. It would have
to be socialism because this Is
the common political method
today of handling natlonj in
bankruptcy.
Inflation, then, is not a vague,
vaporous remote political the

suspect, a political epithet-stick
to beat them out of Just wage in

economic hell into which all the
people would be condemned.
