Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., Nov. 23 We wonder how many people have
read General "Happy" Arnold's annual report? In our Judgment
it la far more significant than General Marshall's report although
the latter was not only greeted with great acclaim but was printed
in book form and became a "best seller." In fact Arnold's report
Is one of the most unusual ever written by a military man, nnd
head of a military department, General Arnold having been
supreme commander of the U. S. army air forces In the war lust
ended. For it is from first to last the strongest possible argument
against war, establishes so clearly the necessity of outlawing all
war and regardless of what it may cost in money, time and effort
TRYING at least in EVERY way to establish permanent world
peace.
Unlike General Marshall, General Arnold officially recognizes
the tremendous importance of the atomic bomb, and also unlike
the former, has the imagination to realize that the next war, If
there is to be one, will be entirely different from the last.
Listen to this:
"Aircraft piloted and pllotless will move at speeds far
beyond that of sound small amounts of explosive ma
terials as in atomic bombs will cause destruction of muny
square miles, true 'space-ships' will range far beyond the
earth's atmosphere to launch their missiles' at effective
distances from their targets ffectlve methods of defenr.3
- will be most difficult to attain there might be some .
escape In placing vital Industry underground, dispersal of our
cities and a world-wide Intelligence service which might give
us some warning."
, . "MIGHT" is right!
If the genus homo, In other words, wishes to preserve the
sacred right of organized murder sufficiently to abandon his pre
sent civilization, give up his large cities, dwell underground like
so many furless moles, spy on all the rest of the world In times
of peace, and be In constant fear of war; why he might or a few
of him survive, but at best It would be an unhappy and pre
carious existence.
This Is not what General Arnold says exactly, but It Is the
Implication ot everything he says.
And yet General Arnold,
doubt every other professional army leader, comes to the moth
eaten conclusion that the only answer is to maintain "over
whelming aerial superiority and a strong peace-time military or
ganization" In the United States.
In other words while General Arnold has the Imagination to
envisage the next war, and all its horrors, he lacks the Imagina
tion to see that the old militoristic prescription for preventing wars
in the past, will not prevent wars in the future; that "the search
for national security through military preparedness is an invita
tion to national suicide," and finally the only answer to the urob-
lem he so vividly presents Is to abandon war, and put ALL our
atomic weapons behind an international organization to maintain
world peacel
We would like to see General
reading in our schools and colleges as well as in the halls of congress.
Took a walk Into Boston along
one of the most beautiful sections of Boston by the way, or of
any otner modern city, and ended up at the Old South Meeting
House on quaint and crowded Washington street. It is really a
beautiful old church Inside and out. so much more attractive
architecturally than any of the
nas Dcen Kept in good repair, no
years ago, only much CLEANER.
Our forefathers were not en
glenlo. Nor were they particularly democratic although we like to
think they were irreproachable models in all such directions.
The Old South Meeting House pretty well proves the latter
point. Within Old South there are two large balconys and as the
guide explained the top one, or gallery, was used ONLY by col
ored slaves; the one below It ONLY by white servants; while in
the. large upholstered. pe.ws on the ground floor sat the gentry,
the "economic royalists" of those revolutionary times!
. Yssl the "Boys of 1776" fought for freedom from England.
but they did not fight for freedom of the slaves, not THEN! nor
did they fall to Impose fairly rigid class distinctions in their
newly-won democracy.
Iu.fact a fascinating movie
REALISTIC picture of social and political conditions here in Bos
ton -In revolutionary times far afield from what the average
American of today believes them to have been. The desire tor
freedom from England was not unanimous by any means, and it
took a generation to convince a majority of the leading "rebels" that
true democracy would be desirable, or lead to anything but con
fusion, chaos and disaster.
Mr. Anthony Eden, former British foreign minister and head
of the British delegation at San Francisco, urges revision of the
UNO pact and especially abrogation of the one-nation veto.
ANTHONY EDEN IS 100 RIGHT!
That SHOULD be done, particularly now with the atomic
bomb problem more or less handed over to the United Nations for
solution. For unless such action is taken, the UNO will have no
power to do anything, anything of consequence that is, unless
all members of the council agree, and on no IMPORTANT decision
can anyone expect them all to agree!
There will bo objections from Washington and Moscow on the
ground of national sovereignty. Let those who object put this in
their pipe and smoke It, unless the nations of the world are will
ing to modify their antiquated Ideas of defending their national
sovereignty, they will wake up some fine morning and find there
is no national sovereignty to defend! R.W.R.

the matter something like this:
A TREMENDOUS inner strug-;
" gle for direction of Presi
dent Truman Is going on be
tween the old Roosevelt crowd
and the party people; It ebbs
and flows from week to week,
day to day, and has not been
concluded.
The Ickes-Wallace wing In the
cabinet, together with the old
new deal clique in congress,
view with alarm the fact that
the Roosevelt policies are not
popular in the country and they
are Inclined to blame Truman.
When they dare not express
themselves openly, they spread
their viewpoint in private and
it reaches print in forms like
the above-mentioned magazine
story.
It is customary In politics for
parties to follow their great be
yond the grave. The republicans
ran on Abraham Lincoln for
more than 50 years. The Rooso
veltian associates would like to
build up a political legend like
that for the democrats.
a
ITNFORTUNATELY the times
today do not fit the Roose
velt labor and spending doc
trines, which were contrived for
an era of depression and seem
foolish in a postwar era of in
flation. Now Mr. Truman has follow
ed and fought for every one
of those policies from uncnir.loy
ment Insurance and full employ-
ment (while there are still many
mpre Jobs than workers) up to
spending (keeping his budget
more than double Roosevelt's
greatest peacetime expenditure).
And he Is maintaining expen
diture at a time when purchas
ing power is much too strong
for the amount of goods avail
able. He wanted to give labor a tre
mendous wage Increase, and
permitted the issue to go to ne
gotiations, until associates con
vinced him such a boost would
add to purchasing power during
the shortage of goods and surely
bring inflationary ruin.
Thus he has doggedly stuck
to a losing game, the Roosevelt
game and, with normal human
perversity, the new dealers
blame him because their pro
gram failed to hold water. He
did not "fight enough," tliey say.
e
OOSENMAN has now gone
. home for the final time,
they also say. (He worked up
the Roosevelt C. I. O.-labor-spending
program for Truman.)
But Ickes, Wallace and the new
dealers are still around. And
a for the political angle, demo
cratic chairman Bob Hannegan
is heavily and exclusively play
ing the Roosevelt game, trying
to save the Pearl Harbor in
quisitiveness, -lauding Mrs.
Roosevelt, etc.
Now congress Is scared of
this, which it sees. Ccngress
faces the polls next year, long
before Truman. Congressmen
are preponderantly against the
program and would take lead
ership openly to face the eco
nomic facts of the hour, but
they feel the necessity for politi
cal caution. They are trimming
expenditures, delaying the C. I
O. bills, but auietly.
The worst of the matter is
labor picked ' a bad time to
strike. The unions stop produc
tion, with people panting for
automobiles, and the nation
eager for humming producting
in all lines, high prices going
Merer and money, mon-ey,
money everywhere anxious to be
spent.
Their strikes, therefore, de
veloped the nature of revolt
against the public, the govern
ment and postwar success of the
nation. If they had waited un
til purchasing power started to
lag, and the goods shortage was
absorbed by production, they
would have had a better case,
and would have gained public
support.
This is the long-running in
ner condition, which, as I said,
fluctuates from week to week.
Published political prophesies
about Mr. Truman, then, mere
ly represent pressure to force
him to act one way or another.

a citizen (and an Indignant one)

forces me to say a word in this
union-marine controversy and
and here is goes!
As "name calling Is out" (it
should be) I suggest that the
union defender withdraw his
derogatory remarks concerning
the unknown marine's mental
condition, and remove the ad
jectives of "narrow-minded, sel
fish" to their rightful owner!
So the marine must pay dues
(like rent, food, etc.)
Man! think! What more do
you want from him. He's paid
his dues, a million fold!
"Selfish to expect to reap ben

to make those conditions pos

Brother, if I were you I'd
write a "Membershio Paid In

Farm Program .
Conference Planned
Jackson county will be one
of some 15 Oregon counties to
hold a farm program conference
this winter, H. E. Conger, chair
man of the county planning
committee has Just announced.
Definite decision to hold such a
conference, with February 4, se
lected as the tentative date, was
reached at a preliminary meet
ing of the county planning com
mittee where the whole matter
was discussed.
Decision to hold the county
farm program conference Is in
accordance .with recommenda
tions made a year ago when ag
ricultural leaders held a plan
ning committee meeting. They
voted at that time to ask the
Extension service of Oregon
State college to assist in holding
a county-wide conference as
soon as feasible following the
war's end.
Many new conditions con
front the farming industry .and
rural homes in the postwar pe
riod. It will be the purpose of
this conference to gather all
available facts about the pres
ent agricultural situation and
then to chart a suggested pro
gram in the light of these facts
and the prospective state, na
tional and international situa
tion. Sub-committees of the county
planning committees will start
work at once on the different
phases of the conference. These
sub-committees are: Farm home
and rural life, land use, dairy,
livestock, horticulture, poultry,
small farms and general crops.
County Agent. R. G. Fowler
will serve as general secretary
of the conference while repre
sentatives of other agricultural
agencies in the county will as
sist as secretaries of sub-committees
or as technical advisers
to them.
All farm men and women of
the county will be invited to the
final all-day conference where
reports ahd recommendations of
the committee will be presented
for consideration.

County Agent.
Field Mice Injur
Some Pear Trees . '
There has been some field
mouse injury to pear trees this
fall. This has occurred in or
chards where clumps of grass
and trash have accumulated
about the base of the trees.
It Is suggested that growers
examine 20 or 30 trees near the
ground line. If any injury is
found, measures should be
taken to discourage the mice.
They are quite fond of trashy
places so all grass should be re
moved from near the base of the
tree.
Any trees that are found gir
dled should be bridge grafted.
This can be done any time al
though best results will be had
from February grafting.

How To Arrange
Holiday Greens
This year families have more
reason to celebrate the holiday
season. With family members
returning there is seen to be a
more festive air about the home.
Here in Oregon we have so
many natural greens to use for
decorations. From branches of
our evergreens, cones and seed
pod arrangements can be made
that will greatly add to the
beauty of our homes.
Simple directions for making
these can be found in the new
mimeograph HE 1918, "Holiday
decorations from nature."
Not to be overlooked of
course will be holiday food

Examinations Made
From Record ings
For Dentist Tests
Houston, Tex. flJ.R) A new
wrinkle in education is being
tried at Texas university school
of dentistry, where oral exami
nations are conducted by using
a recording of the instructor's
voice.
Dr. Frederick C. Elliott, dean
of the school, says a recording
eliminates a psychological bar
rier, as the presence of an in
structor might - frighten some
students.
With the recording, he said,
slow and quick students will
have equal opportunity.
Dental experiments will . be
filmed with a sound-track ex
planation so a student may hear
the same lecture as many times
as he wishes.
Simple clinical work will
start for freshmen students, in
stead of waiting until they are
juniors, as is the common prac
tice. "In this way we hope to ob
tain better dental doctors," Dr.
Elliott said. "The emphasis will
be off passing and failing. If
our method is successful, it may
revolutionize medical and den
tal education."
No more need to rub and scraps
dishes when you use KE-NU
(wilh or without sosp, as you
prefer). Just put two spoonfuls
of this sparkling blue powder in
the dishpan and see the differ
ence. KE-NU actually loosens food
particles, cuts grease and leaves
dishes spotless. Best of all
KE-NU rinses like a charm. No
. tice how even glassware dries
crystal clear without wiping.
You'll appreciate, too, the fact
that KE NU's silky-soft solution
is wonderfully efficient in lukw
warm water. Get a thrifty two
pound box of KE-NU at your
grocer's and see for yourself this
new way to better, faster, easier
dishwashing. '
