Elbow grease, Only One Way The following paragraph, from an editorial column in the Ashland Daily Tidings, is herewith nominated for one of the most asinine of the cur rent season : "They" (they voters) "also know that the legislature can pass a sales and cigarette tax in a single day if they so choose and the present budget can then be met with money lo spare." They (the voters) don't know anything of the kind, and the editorial columnist knows it. Or if he doesn't he owes it to himself and his readers to find out. FIRST, there always has been strong sentiment r against a sales tax in Oregon, and there still is. If certain indications are valid, that sentiment is begining to shift toward one, but the outcome is highly uncertain. The same is true of a cigarette tax. The legislature (the same one that met earlier this vear and resoundingly rejected a sales tax) is little more apt to adopt one in November than it was in May or June. It is much more apt to cut state appropriations to the bone. Even if it does adopt a sales tax in a single day" (hah!!) it could not go into effect until 90 days thereafter in January at the earliest, and probably later even if it isn't referred. A ND IT IS almost a certainty that a sales lax " andor cigarette tax would be referred. There are too many vested and organized inter ests opposed to this form of taxation for it to get by unscathed. Then it could not be voterl upon until May, at the earliest, and probably November, 1964. By that time the biennium would be almost over, and the state would be in the poor house. And even assuming, as our naive editor friend does, that the legislature passed a sales and cig arette tax "in a single day (hah) and it is not re ferred, it would become effective in January or February, with the b 1 e n n 1 e m more than one- quarter gone, and the revenue which could have been derived in that period gone forever. (We've already lost V2 months' potential revenue simply because of the referral, to say nothing ot the $275,000 or $300,000 the election will cost.) WE SUGGEST that the Ashland editor, in stead of dreaming wild and irresponsible dreams about cutting taxes and then having things go on as before, consider instead how many of his subscribers are Southern Oregin Col lege faculty members, how many are school teachers, and how many of them support his ad vertisers and the economy of Ashland. We suggest he read the Oregon Constitution, which requires the state to live within its income, and think what will happen when higher ecluca ton, welfare and school district budgets are pared to below subsistence levels, as they will have to be if the tax measure fails. Thinirs mirrht not be as bad as painted if the tax bill fails. But you can bet your bottom dollar that some old folk will go hungry, some faculty members will be fired (or leave), some school teachers will go on warrants (or leave), and that the state will sink into a slough of fiscal and edu cational despond from which it will not soon re cover.

How have the great minds in history felt about the superi ority of races? Judith M. Horsey Back Ridge road East Orland, Maine no mm Lippmann WHAT HAVE WE" AGREED TO? So that we shall not expect too mucn or value too little tne partial test ban treaty, we must, I believe, ask why this agree ment, which has been sug gested so often before, became at last feasible. What has been the p r i m a r y reason? Not the pollution of the air bv fallout. The danger of that has been known for years. Not the Soviet quarrel with Rod China. For while that could conceivably ex plain why Moscow became will ing to agree with us, it does not explain why Washington became willing to agree with Moscow. Not a sudden realization after the confrontation on Cuba that war must be avoided, though it is true that what it was like to stand nn the brink has not been forgotten in Moscow and in Washington. These and many other reasons have, no doubt, played a contrib uting part in the decision on both sides to sign the partial lest Dan treaty. UT the primary reason has ' been, I submit, that a pre ponderant scientific opinion has developed on both sides that con tinued testing in the atmosphere could almost certainly NOT produce a decisive breakthrough in the nuclear race. There is a dissenting minority, led bv Dr. Teller in this country and re flected in the negative votes in the Senate, which continues to believe that a breakthrough can be made if enough atmospheric tests are conducted. And there is reason to believe that in the COME OR ALL of these thincs will happen matter what the Governor does, no matter i? &nL .. .

There are, undoubtedly, some people who couldn't care less. But it seems to us that those who have a care for the young people we are committed to edu cate, for the elderly poor, for the integrity of 'our state and our state's institutions, must, willy-nilly, vote to tax ourselves a bit more to prevent this from happening. Only by doing so can we avoid a period long or short of fiscal chaos, governmental disarray, educational slippage, and human deprivation. E. A.

To be sure, our responsible of ficials have been careful not to go on record publicly that a breakthrough to an anti-missile missile is virtually impossible. But they could not have sup ported the test ban had they not lions. But what has happened in very recent times is that the vital issues between the Soviet Union and the Atlantic commun itywhich arise chiefly from the partition of Europe, the partition of Germany, and the partition of Berlin are being defused. rpHAT is to say, neither side is - expecting to settle the issues by nuclear weapons. That is a great deal better than if they expected these issues to be such that they could be solved only by nuclear weapons. By dealing with the peripheral issues Antarctica, atmospheric tests, going to the moon it will not become harder, and it may become easier, to deal with the vital central issues. Just this week, the Secretary General of the Gaullist party in France told the Council of Europe meeting in Strasbourg that "Europe must be careful not to become the vic tim of this closeness" between the United States and the Soviet Union. Monsieur Raumel need not worry too much about that closeness. He is having a night mare induced by reading ton much European history and too little American history when he imagines Khrushchev and Ken nedy sitting down to impose a settlement on Europe. Even if we wanted lo make a deal behind llie backs of our German and French allies, we could not make one. We have many faults, heaven only knows, but how to play Machiavelli or Talleyrand or Richlieu is not in the American educational curriculum. In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS Dear Miss Hersey: "Race" was originally a biological term. It referred to the varieties of an animal species; for instance, different kinds of dogs. As ap plied to man, it took account of the typical differences in physi cal characteristics skin color, hair texture, skull shape, facial features, and bodily stature which are to be found in various groups occupying different geo graphical regions. Many thinkers, however, have doubted that the term "race" can be applied as properly to human beings as it is to dogs, pigeons, and other animals. They have questioned whether the races of mankind are sharp ly separated types, originating in different pure stocks, or are instead mixed groups which fade into one another, rather than are sharply delimited. Most anthropologists have held that men share a basic structure and set of characteristics, and a common origin in a primeval human couple. Darwin expressed this view in his "Descent of Man" almost a century ago: "Although the ex isting races of man differ in many respects ... yet if their whole structure be taken into consideration, they are found to resemble each other closely in a multitude of points ... It is extremely improbable that they should have been indepen dently acquired by oboriginally distinct species or races. The same remark holds good with equal or greater force with re spect to the numerous points ot mental similarity belween the most distinct races of man." Similarly, many great human ists of the 17th and IRth cen turies stressed the unity of the human species and decried all invidious implications ot superi ority or inferiority among the various physical and geograph ical divisions of mankind. Her der, for instance, denied that there are various races of men with different origins "exclu sive varieties." And Leibnitz and the van Humboldt brothers insisted that all men belong to "THE human race." However, many writers in the past century have espoused the view that there are inferior and superior races of men. They have contended that certain ra- to make nuclear bombs that we were considering selling tn the Russians, it would be dif ferent. They would shoot the bombs back at us. But it isn't bombs we're talk ing about. It's WHEAT.

The most famous and influential of the works produced by this school of thought was Gohin eau's "Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races", which was published in the 1850's. The theories about human ori gins recently propounded by the eminent anthropologist Carlton Coon, seem to give support to those who assert innate racial distinctions among men. Coon believes that the present day races of man originated inde pendently of one another from a common subhuman stock, which had spread lo various parts of the globe. "The races of man are as old as man him self," says Coon, in contrast with the conventional theory that the races originated from a common human ancestor at a comparatively late period. Coon asserts that there are important physico-chemical dif ferences between the races for instance, adaptation to heat, cold, and altitude, and immun ity to diseases which he as cribes to natural selection opera ting in differing climatic condi tions. He also ascribes compara tive advancement in cultural rte- velopment among the races to the occupation of favorable geo graphical regions at the time of uieir emergence. ccuraing 10 uoon, some races reached the fully human stage of Homo sapiens much later than others. However, he ascribes this later emergence lo va.y.ug environmental condl tions, not to innate inferiority indeed, he asserts that the groups which evolved later are now challenging the formerly more successful groups through their use of modern technology and communications. In spite of his emphasis on racial distinc tions, then. Coon is not neces sarily opposed to the humanists in their assertion of the equal cultural potentials of all the peo ples of the earth.

In brief, al though less is known about North Viet Nam than almost any other coun try in the Com munist bloc, it AiiitD is now quite certain that the condition of North Viet Nam is downright desperate. Prof. P. J. Honey, the En glishman who is literally the only serious authority on Viet Nam with no French or other axe to grind, compares the pres ent situation in the north "to the worst moment in China after the disaster of the great leap forward." That was the moment, of course, when Com munist China came periously close to internal collapse, as was proven by the breakdown of discipline when the Hong kong border was opened. nROF. HONEY, whose infor- mation has been authorita tively confirmed here in Hong kong, describes the North Viet namese masses as living on or below the brink of starvation outside the two show towns of Hanoi and Haiphong. Cloth is so short that the peasant women work the fields in breech clouts a real horror tn the Viet namese. And deaths from sim ple hunger are reported from the villages. None of this is particularly surprising. North Viet Nam nev er had enough food lo support its population, even without the huge additional burden of a large Communist army and bureaucracy. The Communists are so eager to get the rich south within their grasp pre cisely because the north is not viable. The cause of the present crisis-conditions is quite cer tainiy the cumulative effect of this basic non-viability. One of the more idiotic cliches of our time is the reason, in turn, why almost no one but Prof. Honey and a few profes sional intelligence - collectors have paid the smallest atten tion to the state of North Viet Nam. The cliche is that, once the Communists fit their grip on a nation, that grip can never be broken. Hungary proved the contrary for Hungarian Com munism was restored, after all, not by Hungarians but by So viet troops. Let the cliche con tinues to be parroted. IF THE position in North Viet Nam is anywhere nearly as desperate as it is thought lo be, by the only persons who know anything about it, then this fact should be given much weight in the American calcu lations about South Viet Nam. When you may be nearer to winning than appears on tha surface, it is no time to cut and run. But here again, ths cliches operate. In its present state, the gov ernment of President Ngo Dinh Diem is neither admirable nor even dependable, at least with out radical measures of self improvement. But the power of idiotic cliches has helped might ily to bring the Diem govern ment to this pass. The central cliche is that, it a country like South Viet Nam receives American aid, then its government ought to be remod eled in the image, let us say, of the government of the state of Michigan not of course tha Michigan which has had so many incompetent, reactionary, and corrupt state administra tions, but the new, bright Mi chigan of good George Romney. Michigan springs to mind be cause members of the staff o( the University of Michigan for so long played a large and often ludicrous advisory role in Sai gon. But this idealistic American demand for "Asian democracy" is doomed to be unfulfilled. Highly educated, highly indus trialized Japan is a special case. But Asian countries which havn not fully emerged into the mod" em world are even less well pre pared for democracy than, let us say, Alabama. riHE persistent application o our standards to Asian leaders, the insistent demand that Asian leaders perform in a manner more ideally Ameri can than many an American state governor, is not merely silly in itself. In addition, tha underlying self-righteousness i9 deeply pernicious. Its pressure warps and cripples Asian lead ers who might otherwise per form quite respectably, as in the case of President Diem. Worse still, American policy it self is also warped and crip pled by the same pressure. About an Asian government, in short, it is a clear sign of twaddle-think lo ask most of the questions that are usually asked at home. About such a government, only three ques tions need to be asked. Docs it work? Docs it serve American interests? And is it not belter, with all its faults, than Ihe prob able alternative which in pres ent day Asia is quite often a Communist government like that in North Viet Nam. Even today, the Diem gov ernment is at least far heller than that in the north. But lha problem goes beyond Diem. Look at the facts! Mouth no more cliches! Down with twaddle-think! These should be tha new slogans.
