MAIL TRIBUNE
Thankful for What?
This is Thanksgiving. "" -
In answer to the query what, with the world in its
present mess, there is to be thankful for, the answer
is considerable. -
Like the first Thanksgiving all one has to do, is
go back to first principles.
QUR Pilgrim forefathers were not so thankful for
the abundance they had, with wild turkeys and
cranberry sauce, as what they didn't had missed.
Unlike two years before they had a good harvest so
they didn't have a famine. Also, unlike the former
period, they had peace; there was no immediate
threat of another Indian war. The weather was an im
provement also. And weather was very important
then as it still is.
So they felt extremely grateful, and decided to
give thanks to the Almighty from whom they believ
ed these blessings flowed, which was entirely right
and proper. ' - '
We might quite properly today do the same.
-
MOT that the world isn't in a mess; not that this
country and all democratic nations for that mat
ter don't face perils of a greater immediacy and mag
nitude than perhaps ever before. But look at the
other side of the picture observe what we haven't
got, what WE have missed, as did our forefathers.
No. 1 : We are not at war. There is no war, hot
at least, raging here or anywhere else on the globe.
" As that realistic but always optimistic old warrior
Sir Winston Churchill remarked the other day, quote :
"We might even find ourselves in a few years, moving
along a broad, smooth causeway of peace and plenty,
instead of roaming and peering around the rim of hell." .
UE MIGHT.
Premier Mendes-France, who also is in a position
to have the facts and certainly has the aggressive
statesmanship to act wisely and effectively regarding
them, recently expressed much the same idea. After
his visit to this country, and a survey of his own,
he foresees a period of peace in fact a "United States
of Europe" before many years have passed. The sign
ing of anti-Communist pacts in Europe and in the Pa
cific, will be, he thinks, constructive steps in that de
sirable direction, European unity, , and a check on
Russian aggression.
CO not only are we at peace," but there are indica-
tions in spite of all the Reds here and abroad may
do, that war on any large scale at least, can be pre
vented for the near future
Thanksgiving has been succeeded by another. That s
something, in fact it's a great deal.
No. 2: The election is over.
We won't have another one for two years. So
once more let us all be thankful. Elections are nec
essary, of course, but they create too much ill will, dis
sension and friction which after the storm has passed
both sides usually agree might have been avoided,
or at least materially reduced if more people" had
kept their heads and retained their sense of humor.
Now we have a political breathing spell, and next
time we may all do better. Thanks again !
AT the moment the weather locally isn't so hot,
particularly for those who prefer rain to winter
fog, but don't like either. i
However for over a month the Weather Man has
done a remarkably good job and he might get back
on the ball tomorrow.
At any rate climatically speaking, this has been
one of the most delightful Falls in recent history. So
that item should be added to the list of things we
have to be thankful for, on the. last Thursday in
November, and let us hope meanwhile it may con
tinue. DUT to return to Sir Winston Churchill:
There is a statement niade by the great British
"elder statesman," which has never received the
notice it deserved, for it expresses a great truth con
cerning this country, which is too often overlooked,
especially abroad, but also here at home. : Here is
the gist of it, quote: ,
"Gentlemen many nations have arrived at the summit
of the world but none, before the United States . . . has
chosen that moment of triumph, not for aggrandizement,
- but for further self-sacrifice sacrifice for. the causes by ,
which the life and strength of mankind is refreshed. The
United States has shown, itself more worthy of trust and
honor '. than any government of men or associations of
nations that has ever reached pre-eminence by their action
on the morrow of the common victory won by all."
Leaving out the 100 isolationists that is as
true today as it was, when it was made, on May
25th, 1949, in New York City.
: It wouldn't be a bad idea for every American on
Thanksgiving Day to read it over and be thankful
that not only was it stated by one of the truly great
statesmen of the 20th Century, and not a resident of
this country but that it was then and is today
entirely and completely true something for which
every American should be both thankful and proud.

Editorial Comment
Rather a Common Ailment
In a recent editorial comment,
The Medford Mail Tribune the
other day, said, speaking of the
Republican "party, . while
the Grand Old Elephant seemed
united and in good health during
the recent campaign, the tran
quility was only skin deep, for
Jumbo is really suffering from a
split personality, and has been
for some' time."
There's truth in that; but
RWR completed his editorial be
fore getting around to pointing
Thursday. November 25, I8S4
and certainly until this
out that the Democratic party Is
afflicted with exactly the same
ailment, "and has been, for some
time."
One would think that our third
("Independent") party would be
free from this type of thing; but
alas! even he shows signs of in
terior political cleavage. Al

Deetz Plans Bill
To Revamp Oregon
Election Practices
Oregon City (U.R) Elmer
Deetz, Canbys - "gallon jug
dairyman" who led the success
ful fight against Oregon's milk
marketing administration, has
announced another ' crusade. '
Deetz, who won election to
the Oregon House in the same
election in which the 21-year-old
milk control act was deci
sively repealed, announced yes
terday he planned to sponsor a
bill in the next legisature to re
vamp Oregon election campaign
practices..
Candidates Responsibla
He said he would author a bill
which would make each candie
date responsible ifor all money
spent in his behalf in a cam
paign. The measure would also
put a legal limit on campaign ex
penditures. Deetz also said reports on
campaign expenditures should
be made public 10 days before
an election, instead of after the
balloting. He predicted the rest
of the nation would f oUow Ore
gon's lead if a "sane" campaign
expense biU were enacted.
The Canby dairyman cited his
own campaign efforts as an ex
ample of what can be accomp
lished with a small amount of
money. He said he spent $1099
to get the milk law repealed and
$67 to get elected to the. House.

In TKe Day's
By FRANK JENKINS
Let's caU . this "Quotation
Day" in this space and start
off with a quotation from one
of the world's GREAT men.
SPEAKING in London on Nov.
.Q. Sir Winston Churchill.
prime minister of Great Britain,
said:
"The whole foundation of our
(Britain's) existence stands on
our alliance and friendship, and
if I may say so an increasing
sense of brotherhood, with the
United States.
"And we are also developing
increasingly intimate ties with
France, Germany, Italy and the
Low Countries, and these ties
are stronger and more practical
than any that have ever hitherto
been devised." : . . , ,
H
E ADDED:
important , agreements we hope
we shall be able to create that
PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH
Which will allow time to play
its healing part and bring about
an altogether easier relationship
all over the world.-
"We might even find ourselves
in a few years moving along a
broad, smooth causeway of peace
and plenty INSTEAD OF ROAM
ING AND PEERING AROUND
ON THE RIM OF HELL." '
AS to Russia, Churchill said:
"If the Soviets really like
being governed by officials in a
sealed pattern, AND SO LONG
AS THEY DO NOT ENDANGER
THE SAFETY AND FREEDOM
OF OTHERS, that, I feel, is a
matter for them to decide them
selves for themselves."
PRESIDENT EISENHOWER,
another of the world's great
men, told reporters at his press
conference that:
"The United States wiU re
main vigorous and strong . . .
The greatest mistake we could
make would be to lose sight of
Russia's quest for world revolu
tion and domination." .
He went on: - .
"I would not favor an East
West meeting of the Big Four
powers until the allies have rati
fied the agreements to bring
West Germany. into the Europ
ean defense alliance.".,
BUT
He enn eluded
"Whenever the U. S. has any
real reason to believe any coun
try wants to TALK EARNEST
LY ABOUT PEACE, the talks
will be held." ..
AT this point, let's quote an
other great American.-Speaking
at the" Minnesota state fair,
in the first year of this Twen
tieth Century, Theodore Roose
velt said:
' "There is a homely adage
which runs: 'Speak softly and
carry a big. stick and you will go
far.' If the American nation will
speak softly and yet build and
keep at a pitch of the highest
training a thoroughly efficient
navy, the Monroe Doctrine will
go far."
THAT was away back in 1901,
when our country had a sim
ple and' uncomplicated foreign
policy in which every American
believed and which every Amer
ican was willing to die for, if
need be the Monroe Doctrine.
But, in a much more compli
cated world, the advice given
by Teddy; Roosevelt THEN is
perfectly sound NOW. -
T ET'S close this symposium
with a quotation from per
haps the greatest American of
all Abraham Lincoln, in his

News
second inaugural address, de
livered in the closing days of
our bloody Civil Wan
"With malice toward none;
with charity for all; with firm
ness in. the right as God gives
us to see the right, let us strive
on to finish the work we are in;
to bind up the nation's wounds
. . . to do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting
peace among ourselves and
WITH ALL NATIONS."
VOU must have noticed ' the
hopeful turn our economy
seems to have taken in this No
vember of 1954.
Professional Democrats would
have us believe it is because the
Democratic party has taken over
the reins in the congress. Pro
fessional Republicans contend it
is because the vote at the recent
election was so close that it can
in no way be , construed as a
rebuke to the present adminis
tration's policies. :;r
Personally, J think it is be
cause people generally have
come to the conclusion that with
leaders such as Churchill of
Britain and Eisenhower of the
U.S.A. peace throughout the
world in the next few decades is
NEITHER IMPOSSIBLE NOR
IMPROBABLE.

Hoover Predicts
Communist Defeat
Tuebingen, Germany U.R)
Former President Herbert
Hoover said today the Commu
nists futilly are attempting to
destroy freedoms ; of Western
civilization "by infiltration,
propaganda and conspiracy."
Mr. Hoover predicted the
Communists will be defeated in
their schemes because they have
underestimated the "spiritual,
moral and educational force"
that confronts them. '
The 80-year-old former Amer
ican chief of state spoke at cere
monies which he was awarded
an honorary doctorate of econo
mics at the ancient University
of Tuebingen.
He is visiting West Germany,
a country which he helped put
back on' its feet in the bleak
postwar days, on the invitation
of Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
