To Adopt Tough Policy

fire," he commented.
The Florida senator said in a
speech prepared for senate de
livery: "We must stifV threats against
us near their source. We have al
ready waited too long. If we con
tinue a pussy-footing policy the
foe will not fear us and our
friends will not respect us."
Speaking of lease-lend cargoes,
Pepper asserted that the country
"should resolve that no power
will keep us from getting the
goods to Britain, and getting
them there now."
It was up to military and naval
experts, he added, to decide on
the best method for guaranteeing
safe delivery.
As far as Hitler was concerned,
Pepper said that the United
States should react to him as it
had to the Barbary coast pirates
in the early years of the last cen
tury, and to (he gangs(ers of (he
Dillinger days.
The suggestion of bombers and
"volunteer" fliers for China was
prefaced by the assertion that the
time had come "to give some
plain talk and if necessary some
plain action to Japan."
"We know that the little yellow
men are waiting behind the door
with a drawn dagger to stab us
when we become involved with
another foe," Pepper said.
"We should take the initiative.
I believe n few American pilots
in first class bombing planes
could make a shambles out of
Tokio.
"If (he Japanese get a sample
in their capital of what they did
to China they may lose
some of their blood thristiness."
House republicans sought and
failed today to force an imme
diate vote on the question of
whether the United Sta(es should
convoy shipments of supplies to
Great Britain.
Rep. Bradley (R.-Mich.) said
that ho and others had planned to
offer an "anti-convoy" amend
ment to a pending bill which
would authorize President Roose
velt to take over Idle foreign-flag
tonnage for national defense but
had been informed that a parlia
mentary technicality blocked
their attempt.

even constructed fish ponds and

camp a few miles further up the
road is aptly named "Coffee Pot

Among the Interesting depart
ments maintained In (he main
camp is (hat In which fores(
signs are manufactured. The
(signs are made by cutting letters
and figures Into wood panels.
These signs are replacing the
formerly used metal signs as ra
pidly as possible. At present the
crew is working on a complete
set of signs for the Diamond lake
recreational area. Included Is a
huge carved wood map on which
will be shown all of the improve
ments, resorts, stores, camp
grounds and other facilities at
the lake. It will be placed be
side the highway as a guide to
those who visit the area.
Camping Comforts Extended
The Sou(h Umpqua Falls re
gion Is rapidly developing as a
recrealional area and the forest
service is meeting this condition
by extensive improvement. A
new cabin is now in process of
completion and will be occupied
by forest service personnel dur
ing the coming summer. Shelt
ers have been built for the use
of campers, and numerous im
proved public campsites have
been provided, complete with
stove, tables and benches.
Similar public camps also have
been provided at Camp Comfort,
now the terminus of the road, as
well as at various scenic spots at
frequent intervals along the road.
A large number of persons are
expected to visit the area within
the next few weeks, particularly
to see the wildflowers now to be
found In profusion. Dogwood is
in full bloom along the river.
Rhododendrons are just coming
into bloom and will be at their
best within the next two weeks
while the numerous seasonal
wild flowers of all types are to
be found in profusion.
From Camp Comfort trails
branch off into all sections of
the South Umpqua forest dis
trict. One of the most used of
these trails is that leading to
Fish lake, a distance of. seven
miles.
Fish Lake Beckons Anglers
Fish lake was visited over the
week end by a party which in
cluded Forest Supervisor V. V.
Harpham, Glenn E. Mitchell, wild
like supervisor from the regional
life supervisor from the regional
trlct Ranger Berry, Harris Ells
worth, editor of the News-Review
and the writer.
The lake, which covers an
area of more than 100 acres, is
nestled between steep, heavily
wooded hills, and is fronted on
the east by (wo high-towering
rocky peaks, now lipped with
snow. It abounds with eastern
brook and rainbow trout, and is
particularly popular with fish
ermen who are willing to make
a long overland trek (o find such
ideal fishing conditions. All pro
visions and bedding must be
packed In. There is a good trail
for the entire distance.
At the present time the lake
has from 300 to 500 visitors an
nually, but Interest is steadily
growing and it is expected that
a shorter season may be neces
sary at some future date to pre
serve the fish life. The fish
range in length up to 12 inches,
with an occasional larger catch.

fly fishermen are able m mam
excellent catches during the
early part of the season.
Fine Camp provioer
In keeping with Its policy of
making the forest facilities of
the greatest possible use to the
general public, the forest service
has provided four three sided
shelters, equipped with grid
stoves, and has built two boats
which are furnished for general
use without charge. The camp
is provided with sanitary facili
! ..un..n !tc otp . and a
cr.Hnr, f lA.mr cold water, locat
ed adjacent to the shelters has
been rocked in.
The forest service maintains a
cabin with telephone communi
cation and full equipment and
keeps one or more men at the
site during the peak of the sum
mer season to aid vacationists
anil to protect the area from
fire.
Buckeye lake, two miles farth
er on, also is one of the unequal
led fishing spots of the Pacific
coast, and, in fact, affords larg
er fish than are to be found on
the average in Fish lake.
Much of (he South Umpqua dis-ti-ipf

wilderness area, and as such will
be kept as nearly In its virgin
sta(e as possible. Roads and
(rails will be built only for for
est protection and recreational
use, and only such improvements
will hn made as are most needed
to serve the recreation-seeking
public.
