Will Germany pay? If you were the German dictator you would probably laugh at the Idea and that Is Just about what he will do. It Is one thing to send a bill to somebody but It Is quite a different problem to get It col lected If the debtor Is unwilling to pay. The supreme court of the Unit ed States which handed down the final decision on these claims yesterday might wisely have in cluded a few more millions In the bill as damages for recent blasts. We might,' In fact, bill Cor many for our entire defense out layIf It were not for nazl ag gression and determination ;o dominate the world we would not need to arm. But then, enough of this line of thinking. The kind of "prosperity" we are beginning to enjoy Is not pre cisely the kind of prosperity we would like to have seen. There Is no doubt that the basis of It Is war orders by the government, paid for by borrowing on the gov ernment credit. That means that for such "prosperity" as we arc now en joying, the taxpayer Is still pay ing the freight. Yet even so, It is something ot a relief to see the relief rolls gradually declin ing: 3 per cent In November as compared with October, while In certain Industrial cities the drop has been as high as 20 per cent In a single month. The transfer of men and wo men from relief to regular Jobs in private Industry is good in It self, though artificially Induced by the emergency arms program. We should prepare now, as much as we can tlo so, to keep lliem there. The Goddess of .earning, Min erva, has come back lo Hclgium six months afler the German In vader overran the land.

IN the Balkans today: German troops that are being rushed into Rumania arc report ed to be consolidating their posi tions FACING Russian troops. The Russian ministers to Bul garia, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Rumania have been called back to Moscow to report. At this point a guess: Hitler WON'T RISK a fight with Russia. If he starts a drive down through the Balkans, Rus sia will have agreed to it. PHIS, of course, doesn't put Russian treachery out of the picture. Stalin, if it suited his purposes, might tell Hitler to go ahead and then TAKE HIM IN THE FLANK at the first favor able opportunity. Anything is possible in war. AS to Stalin, the only thing you can be sure of is that he will do whatever seems to suit his own purposes best. LOCAL NEWS Reoorted III Mrs. Murk I..

GOT A ART CLEAMIN' A J ' Jg Navy to Add 4,000 Planes This Year, Congress Advised WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (AP) -Rear Admiral John H. Towers told congress today that despite delays and bottlenecks the navy expected to add about 4,000 air planes to lis fleet this year. The chief of naval aviation, testifying at the opening of an in vestigation of the navy's ship building and aircraft programs by the house naval committee, disclosed that the number the navy expected to receive this month was 331 -about double that of December. In response to questions by Chairman Vinson lU-Ga.l, Tow els said that while he was "of course not satisfied" with the present output, he fell that ev erything possible was being done to remedy the situation. Discussing delivery schedules which he said had not been main tained Towers told the commit tee that among the reasons were shortage of machine tools and tool-makers and failure of some sub contractors to fulfill their obligations to prime contractors. The admiral said that on Jan uary 1, the navy had 2,590 planes on hand. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System 1500 Kilocycle!

Raymond Attebury, chaplain of the 146th artillery at Camp Murray, asserted last night that "it a society teaches that nothing is worth war, then it has prepared the eventual death of that society." "You don't realize how far you've destroyed the soul of America by the continuous, In siduous propaganda in the schools that nothing Is worth war," the former pastor of a Seattle Methodist church told a civic club. 1 He charged that the United States produced "international anarchy" by failing to go to the rescue of Abyssinia, China and republican Spain. "We've lost the belief that there's something for which we can die vouncr and live immortal- 'ly," he said. "And if we don't recover it, tomorrow will finu us a subject people." "If there be any God in this universe, this country will pay with blood for the dirty spots that have been put on our flag be cause we lacked honor," he de clared. Improving Mrs. Carl E.

(AP) American agriculture is up against a "life and death" struggle against "wholesale bankruptcy," N. E. Dodd, west ern division director of the ag ricultural adjustment administra tion, said here. Opening the 13-state western AAA conference of farmers, AAA employes and government offi cials, the director stressed that a condition closely resembling peonage would be the result for the nation's farmers should the farm program fail. For more than a year now tno poison ot war and economic ag gression has polluted the world," he said. "Our AAA program has protected agriculture from the worst effects so far, but each month and each year It will be more difficult to stave off the effects of a dying world trade." Ureine his hearers to stuuy the underlying philosophy of the farm program rather than to hunt only for the monetary pay ments of compliance benefits, he said: I fear that if we don't give an 80 to 85 per cent favorable vote in this region on tne quota re ferendum (on wheatl, we win have no wheat loans next year. Such a situation, in the face of present conditions, would, I fear, mark the beginning of the end for agriculture as we know it. 'The next sten, incucareu ny history, would be a system of larce land concerns and virtual peonage for American farmers. Days Creek i-av rnwK Jan. 8.

EDWARDS Our loyalty is the key to our character. To bow before God is an act symbolizing al legiance and obedience. The heart of patriotism is loyalty to the nation. The heart of religion is loyalty to Christ. High living and high lives come out of high loyalties, and the nobler the subject on the object of those loyalties, the more noble and worthy will be the life and character of those who profess and prac tice their fidelity. Our lives are greatly Influenced and largely shaped by the princi ples and the persons to which and to whom we yield our al legiance. Our relationships have much to do with our des tiny. The goodness and the greatness of religion so power fully appealed to Paul as to lead him to subordinate all other causes. It reorganized his whole life and unified his personal energies. Everything else had to be relate to this one central purpose, and for this reason he became a man of the "undivided mind." He laid the sum total of all his powers upon the alter of his Lord. That which differen tiates men is not so much their gifts and abilities as it is their power of concentration. Amen. were Roseburg visitors Tuesday.

(AP) Eleven small ships which still fly the flags of Baltic republics ("absorbed" by soviet Russia re main one of the major obstacles I to more friendly relations be ;tween Moscow and Washington. I The ships have been tied up in 'American harbors ever since .their home ports In Europe pass ed into Russian control. Authoritative sources disclosed today that aside from the ques tion of what, if anything, to do with these ships diplomatic re lations between the soviet and 1 the United States were on a more i cordial basis than they have been l in years. ' . Since the United States still 'recognizes Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as independent repub lics, however, it has refused to , turn over to soviet Russia the S Baltic nations' ships which .sought safe havens In American ports. Russia is badly In need of mer chant shipping and wants the vessels but none of the negotia tions, here or in Moscow, has yet established a basis for an ac ceptable solution to the problem. The Baltic ships are among the 2G6 foreign merchantmen which have taken refuge In American ports to escape the risk of fall ing into British or axis hands at sea. Like the others, they have been earning no revenue, but are piling up port charges instead. A basic principle of American foreign policy, officials said, was the United States government's refusal to recognize the transfer of sovereignty of any territory ' acquired by force of arms. i WEATHER STATISTICS By the U.
