A Memorial Day Metsagt to those Ameri
cans who sometimes ask themselves: "Are
we fighting each other or the Axis?"
THE eve of Memorial Day somewhere on an
American battlefront!
An American boy and a letter from home. It
sure is good to get mail.
I wonder if Mom and Helen and Jack really
know what it's like for those who are doing'the
fighting the constant alert, the nearness of death,
and those moments when fear creeps in fear
which can be fought off only by reminding your
self of everything that's at stake, and of the ter
ror, the nameless terror, that would sweep the
world if by any chance we should lose this war.
He begins to read the letter. And at first it
fambles on, as good homey letters always do,
through the little events of the week back in
America his brother's marks in school, a movie,
a promotion for Dad at the factory.
But what's this? "People are complaining about
the gasoline shortage. Meat is being rationed, and
there is not always as much as some axe used
to having."

You keep more friends if
you're good for nothing when
it comes to a loan.
About the only ones having a
tough time keeping their spirits
up are the liquor dealers.
War is tough on civilians, he muses. But some
one ought to explain to them how many gallons
of gas it takes to push a tank ten miles through
jungle. Someone ought to point out that, if there
is not enough meat at the front yes, and
excess to allow for submarine and bombing
losses our army or our allies just won't have
enough to keep them going.
He turns the page. "There's talk about the
Peace. And there are those who say we mustn't
let ourselves be carried off our feet with a lot. of
idealistic words on World Cooperation.
Is this the old isolationist gang in there punch
ing again? Haven't they got the idea yet that
Memorial Day itself stands for all the wars we
have had to fight just because there was no way
to keep international bullies under control? Have
they forgotten the hell that Dad had to go
through in France in 1917 just because some
body killed a duke in the Balkans? Must kids
like me go to war every twenty-five years just
because of those who would rather not
"take a risk" for peace?
"Food prices are going up," the letter
goes on. "The farmers say that Congress
should permit higher prices for wheat
and hogs. Labor is grumbling about the
ost of living; business men about taxes.
OREGON LIFTS
POTATO MOTH
QUARANTINE
Another quarantine, this one
the potato tuber moth quaran
tine which has been on Oregon's
books for more than 25 years,
was lifted on May 23 by the
state department of agriculture
with approval of Governor Earl
Snell.
This action followed a first
hand investigation of the tuber
moth situation in California by
a department representative,
who found the need no longer
exists for the ban for the simple
reason that the California area
once infested with tuber moth
is now free of it. The action is
also in line with recommenda
tion of the 1942 meeting of the
national plant board, which sug
gested that all states having

Haven't these folks back home learned the
facts of life? Conflict, strife, dissension! Between
nations, it means war, and stinking death in fox
holes. Within a nation, it means disunity, weak
ness, and the discord that gets decent men
fighting each other instead of the enemy.
Farmers against labor, whites against blacks
motorists against ration boards, labor against
management! This is the sort of thing the enemyi
himself is trying to stir up. And in every speech
that smacks of selfish sectionalism, in every yelp
of special interests, in the repetition of every
sneaking lie of the Axis rumor-mongers to stir

California is virtually the only

ships a considerable quantity of

that this movement will now bo
