The states of Washington and Oregon
again have all the gasoline they need-the
tanks are again filled
That is unfortunate.
1t means IulIing the people into a false
sense of security that may have disastrous
results when total war comes.
If there is any who believes that total
war is not coming in the Pacific northwest,

there is no likelihood that the Pacific north
west win know the meaning Of total war,
In this day of just derisiOn Of 'tabIecIoth
strategists' it is rather dangerous to talk of
major war strategy without likelihood Of
criticism-even danger of being accused Of
being unpatriOtic. 1t is easy to assume that
the authorities in Washington know every
thing-that '1aymen" can do their part by
contenting themselves by cOmpetentIy dis
charging their daily duties. Yet it Is appar-
ent every day of the year that brOadside
rules laid down for the conduct of the
nation in war in a country so vast as the
United States must needs have some ex-
ceptiOns to care for local conditions.
We are informed that the War Production
Board has decided that the Pacific north
west must be governed in the matter Of
gasoline fatiOning just as is the Atlantic
coast. We are confident that the WPB Is
not cOgnizant of the difference in conditions
on the two seabOards.
49, The east coast has maze of pipelines,
railroads and highways which can take care
of military needs of petroleum products,
even if no tankerS are able to make their
way up the seacoast. 1t has been established
that tankers cannot survive a submarine
campaign, submarines even going into the
st. Lawrence to stalk their victims Until
some effective device can be found to halt
the submarines there is no reason to believe
that tankers can continue to ply between
California and Puget Sound, in the event the
Axis determines to stop them. Japan has
plenty of IOng-range submarines which can
halt this traffic when desired
viii Japan desire to halt this traffic? 1t
is no military secret that the Pacific coast
has no pipelines. There is now pipeline
to San Francisco gas line is being con-
verted into an oil line. But beyond that
there are no pipelines and that one is inn
potent beyond local California needs The
only alternative to tanker traffic from Cali
fOrnia to Puget Sound is rail traffic. That
is the point that is being stressed today.
Federal agencies have given warm praise
to the increased deliveries of petroleum to
the Pacific northwest by rail. An increase
of 20 percent was noted in the week ended
April rs. The total was only slightly over
1,6OO tank cars for that week
At the same time, truck deliveries were
increased, and it is reported that the high
ways are filled with tank trucks, hauling

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81
Democrats, seeking to gain con-
troll of pivotal Pennsylvania in
next weeks election, are leaning
heavily on a "support-the-Presi-
dent" stand while Republicans
are banking on a $4,000 edge in
voter registration and the COM
monwealth's traditional mooring
to the G. o. p. in state affairs.
A hot contest for governor be-
tween soft-spoken adjutant gen.
eral Edward Martin, Republican,
and fiery state auditor general
F. Clair Ross, Democrat, over
shadows other contests. Voters
will fill four other state offices
and select 33 representatives in
Congress, the entire member
ship, 208, of the state House of
Representatives and Is, or half,
of the state Senate.
CITE QUALIFICATIONS
Both candidates for governor
emphasize the Importance of the
highly industrial keystone state

paigning on theme that he is
best qualified to direct the state
government in wartime.

debt of $29,811.51 for $3,726.43.
A suit to set aside the settlement
was entered in Washington
