CHIEF STICE Is
SORE AT ASSOCIATES

Members Of the supreme court
are staging an open and ora
torical revolt against their new
chief justice. Harlan Stone.
When the blaek-robed sages re-
sumo their sessions late this
month. they may indulge in a
vocal scrap that would not look

Chief Justice Stone is deeply
hurt by his associate justices
acceptance Of speaking engage
ments in which they discuss
both domestic and foreign prom
lens. He believes that su-
preme court member. as a mat
ter Of propriety. should be seen
but not heard. Acting on this
theory. he has declined several
requests TO make speeches in
New England and elsewhere. In
one refusal letter he mentioned
specifically the tendency Of Jus
tees Douglas. Frsnkfurter and
Reed to speak out Of turn.
The chief Justices views are
known. OF course, By his asso-
oistes. he had expected that
they would abide by his unoffi-
eisl decree. But since his atti-
tude became public. two other
members have stepped off the
dock and sounded off on the
question Of the Roosevelt for
eign policy. They were Roberts
and Murphy. The latter was
dragooned into making a speech
By the White House. which fears

The trouble with you Yanks
is that you're yellow: you won't
fight. although this is Just as
much your fight as ours"
When such remarks are made
in the hearing of American ship
yard workers, a bang-up row
ensues. And usually the under
sized Britishers are on the los
ing and black-eyed side. Quite a
few have had TO be hospitaized
on the East and West coasts.
Bad blood between the British
and Americans is nothing new.
As every AEF veteran knows.

Our men loved the Aussies and
the Canadians. but they had no
use for the British. Prospective

the day when they viii go to

consulate VIM. kROH.
Since the consulate in Seattle
was closed. more than a year
ago. It's business all has been
handled by the consulate in San
Francisco. Now that that is
closed, too. any inquiry should
be directed To the German en-
basuy in Washington, d. c.
which can designate local

ness. If IL seems TO warrant that
attention.
Mr.. Ffxit: would like 10
know the names and addresses

Mr.. Fixit: Where can I write

The army is doing all its own
work in Alaska with civil SER

Nimble Name-Callinu

How well France is learning the Nazi technique Is
shown in the arrest of 10000 antNaz French making
. total of 10000 since the armistice.
The Nichy-Nazis announce that they all Jews
and Communists
Does il make sense7 Certainly not All 1t means is
that France has now adopted the technique of Hter's
early days, when anybody who opposed him became inn
medately lin his propaganda either Jew Com
munist, preferably both.
We have not been entirely innocent of the of this
trick IN this country where Communists have loudly de-
nounced all who oppose them Fascss and conservatives
have often been able To raise dust against reform by
nouncng any progressive Communist.
But so transparent demonstration of the technique
that now being given in France should make wary. Be-
ware nmble name calling avoid toofacie classification.

century later. with the Grand
Coulee project just about COM
pleted. Gantenbein again sees
great things going to happen.
Paseo Is to become the assem-
bling point of the multitude Of
products that viii come from
the rich soil of the Columbia
basin. Paseo will flourish like
the green bav of the Columbia
basin area. Down the river and
by truck and railroad train the
products will flow into Pasco
but that is only part of the
story.
To finish il there must he an
outlet TO tidewater and the
markets of the world. and Taco
ma happens to be at the point
Indicated by the gods for the
meeting of the ocean channels
and the products from the Co.
lumbia basin.
The story may seem bit fam
tastie but actually there is
something to it. Take a map
of the state of Washington and
starting from Pasco take a near
~ direct line to Yakima and up
the Chinook pass highway to
the American river: from there
shoot straight across through
Naehes pass and then in an al
most straight line TO Tacoma.
That takes care of the Pasco
end of the Columbia basin but
there is still a great area to the
north that will need an outlet
to world markets. From the in
tersection of the Chinook high
way and the American river,
draw a line straight to Ellens-
burg. From there the map shows
state roads radiating in all di-
rections through the Columbia
basin area.
-.
The only remaining link.in the
chain TO make the pioneer dream
come true is building of the
highway through Naehes pass.
When that is done. as it will be,
1t will be a good idea to keep
your eye on Pasco" and Tacoma

Because he knows that part of
the Columbia basin area so well,
Gantenbein is able to create an
alluring picture of the effect
Of irflgating with water from
the Grand Coulee project. This
is nothing exactly new, as thirty
years ago when there was talk
of developing the Priest Rapids
project.
That was about the time the
slogan, Keep Your Eve ON
Pasco," was being broadcast TO
the four quarters of the world.
A great boom developing there
was emphasized when full
trainload of lumber-as much
as could be hauled over the
mountains-left Tacoma with
Keep Your Eye ON Pasco' ban
ners stretching the length of
the train.
The Northern Pacific land
department was all worked up
over the prospect and plans
We're being made to serve at
Pasco the worlds greatest meat

Gated there TOO because Of the

rigation with water from the
Priest Rapids dam.
But something happened.
Bankers in the east saw a few
fleeks of cloud on the financial
horizon and refused 10 risk the
money required for develop

boom. How surely the boom
existed IS indicated By maps that

JOHN GANTENBETN. whose
y family brought him TO
Eastern Washington and estab-
lished a home near what Is now
Pasco sixty years ago. and who
became Pasco's first postmaster,
dropped in the other day with
good argument why the Naehes
Pass highway should be built as
soon as possible. He did not
have that particular highway in
mind as he talked of the great
prospects of Eastern Washing
ton and the necessity for direct
connection with tidewater at
Tacoma, but his argument works
out that way.
Dramatically, II a bit fantas-
tically. he tells of a legend
about a battle of the gods for
control of the rich area in the
Northwest. 1t was great bat
tie and when it was all over the
territory, like Gaul, was divided
into three parts. each equally
productive in its own way and
each provided with an outlet.
First there was the William
cite. a great productive area in
what is now Oregon with an out
let at a point that is now Port
land.
Next was the territory 10 the
north-Alaska-ri in minerals
and other natural resources with
an outlet TO world channels of
trade at what is now Seattle.
Third and last and richest of
the three great subdivisions was
the Columbia basin, feeding TO
a point at the confluence of the
Columbia and Snake rivers
where the town of Pasco is sit
uated. The world outlet for
this area was TO be BY a pass
