Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THERE have been varied Interpretations of
the recent British election results as they
indicate British attitude toward the war with
Japan, and there have been
warnings to us not to try to
interpret at all.
The Oregonian, for Instance,
points out in effect that the
British might well have mis
understood the election of Mr.
Dewey over Mr. Roosevelt,
had it occurred, as a changed
American attitude toward
prosecution of the war with
Germany. Hence, it infers,
we should avoid trying to
make too much out of the
British election results.
The Salem Capital Journal, on the other
hand, has this to say:
Ever since his youthful days as the cor
respondent in the Boer war, Churchill has
been a dominant and recognized leader in
all of England's conflicts at arms, just
i he has been comparatively submerged in
times of peace. All of this adds up to the
conclusion that a great majority of the
English voters view the conflict in' the
Pacific as being our war and merely a
diverting sideshow for them.
e e
British Report
THE British, of course, have sounded off with
repeated reassurances, from big shots of
the Attlee government down.
Perhaps there was some significance in the
fact that the British Information Services week
ly bulletin for July 28, contained a summary
of British "effort and achievement" in the
war with Japan.
Briefing the summary:
Naval British fleet for months actively op
erating against the Japs, joining Halsey's third
fleet in striking the mainland, and sending
planes over Tokyo airfields. The British ships
supported the American landings on Okinawa.
Three 35,000-ton battleships are in the Pacific,
only one of this size not being mentioned in
this theatre. Of six new aircraft carriers, five
re serving with the British Pacific fleet.
Military The allied combat forces engaged
In the Burma campaign are 85 per cent British,
13 per cent Chinese, 2 per cent American. The
British twelfth and fourteenth armies, based on
Rangoon, represent the largest land forces en
gaging the enemy on the Asiatic mainland,
excepting the Chinese. Six Australian divisions
are fighting the Japs in an arc from Bougain
ville, in the east, to Borneo, in the west.
Air Force Of air forces in the China-Burma-India
theatre, 60 per cent are American and
40 per cent British, while those in Burma are
100 per cent British. The RAF will be closely
Integrated with the USAAF in further air war
against the enemy.
Civilian British people continue to accept
civilian mobilization and restriction. Taxation
continues at a high rate, rationing of clothing
and food Is severe, and production of naval,
military and air force equipment and stores is
being pressed.
That's the British account of their participa
tion in the war with Japan at this time.
e
Far Away
A CHANGED British psychology, however,
must certainly have followed the close of
the European war. That struggle was close to
the British. Its land battles came to their very
The War Today
By DtWITT MacKENZIE
Auoclated Press Foreign Aifalts Analyst
THOSE psychiatrists who long ago took the
position that Hitler and his leaders wero
paranoic, or had a tendency towards paranoia,
would seem to be getting support for this
theory from the American internment camp at
Mondorf, Luxembourg, where some of the
fuehrer's chief henchmen are held.
The nazl leaders in that camp, and others
who have been accounted for elsewhere, have
in most cases displayed mental abnormality,
though this column doesn't profess to label the
type of abnormality. That's highly interesting,
for the experts tell us that paranoics flock to
gether. Our gangster gunmen are an example.
e e e
Mental Pattern
ONE of the characteristics of the paranoic
is an exaggerated imagination. He thinks
he is a superman; he is persecuted; he's right
and everybody is against him. In the final
stages of his disease, they tell us, he may be
come dangerous a killer. From his viewpoint
he isn't a criminal, but an inspired being who
is righting the world.
Hitler exhibited these characteristics. If you
trace his history back to the last war you find
him suffering temporary blindness from hys
teria. In 1938 when I followed him about in
the Chamberlain conferences at Berchtesgaden,
Godesborg and Munich, and later into Sudeten
land, he certainly was displaying strange com
plexes. Now far be it from your columnist to try
to give an expert appraisal of Hitler's mental
condition during his evil dictatorship. We
know that, paranoic or not, he was one of the
most powerful leaders of history. Still, the
methods employed by this self-ordained divin
ity wholesale massacres, attempts to extermin
ate races, enslavement of millions all seem
to fit the theory of paranoic tendencies rather
snugly.
e e
Death Questioned
BY the way, we may not be rid of this devil
yet. Col. General Gorbatov, Russian chair
man of the allied kommandantur for Berlin,
says there's no definite proof that Hitler is
dead. He may be in hiding.
e e e e
Nazi Captains
A ELL, so much, for the master, and now
W for the nazl captains. Little Joe Goebbels,
Hitler's minister of propaganda, who presum
ably committed suicide during the siege of
Berlin, was abnormal. He was an expert in
lying and trickery. Rudolf Hess, who myster
iously flew to England in 1041 and was im
prisoned, is reported by his wife in Germany
to have undergone certain "psycho-physical"
changes. In short, his screw-ball mentality fin
ally has jelled.
Oversize Hermann Goertng, Hltler'i crown
prince, who has a long record of abnormality,
is in a bad way in the internment camp. He is
a dope addict, and since his arrest he has been
cringing in fear of death. He even cracked
up the other night because of thunder.
e e e
Abnormal Minds
SO the story goes. Even some of the Prussian
general staff are showing signs of mental
peculiarities, and go into hysterics over slight
things. The sum and substance of all this is
that the Hitler regime, and some of the military
command, was comprised of such abnormal
minds that one would have to search far to find
proofs to controvert the psychiatrists' claim
that the nazi leaders had paranoic tendencies.
Anyway, mental abnormality was responsible
for one of the most barbaric wars of history.
The kaiser waged a war of aggression, but he
didn't descend to wholesale massacres and en
slavement. The moral? That seems clear enough to
put all the Hitlerite leaders permanently out
of circulation in the forthcoming trials.
Forester Sees Cleaning For
Old Timber Beds Necessary

North River fire which has
seared 7600 acres of slashings in
Pacific and Grays Harbor coun
ties is "pretty good evidence"
mat leaving cutover land un

get a new timber crop, State For

"That area was logged in the

New Pet Sent To
Hunger-Striking Lad
PORTLAND, Ore., July 31 (VP)
Three-year-old Johnny Palmore,
the lad who went on a hunger
strike when his pet Collie dis
appeared, has another one.
' The new Collie is a gift of
William P. White, Peoria, 111.,
who saw an Associated Press
picture of Johnny when the boy
was grief stricken over loss of
"Bingo."
1 When the new Collie arrived
yesterday, Johnny gurgled "nice

cat that joined Johnny in his

think we can get away from the
fact that before new timber can
safely grow, the old beds have
to be cleaned .out."
Goodyear said' the North
River slashing fire had proved
to be the worst his department
has handled in four years. " He
said it occupied over 400 men at
one phase, including state per
sonnel from as far as Snohomish
county. The fire has now cooled
to the point where it can be put
on a patrol basis, but Goodyear
said tie expects it to continue
burning in spots "until Christ
mas." t
Goodyear said other fires
burning around the state, all un
der control at rjresent. include
two above Morton in the Riffe
district, a small blaze in the
Wishkah river area in Grays
Harbor county and a couDle of
smau Durns in Kiltatas and
