GETTING. back to the talk ses sion, General, Arnold, head o( our air forces, says: "With our bombers Increasing in number evc'.'y day, and in con Junctipn with the British, we ex pect, to give Germany 24-hour bombing service from 3(10 de grees" (meaning all around the Circle.) Ho adds: "i our bombers keep going to Germany, It won't take long. .There won't be much fight, left, whet) the time for invasion comes," f ENERAL ARNOLD. Is talk lU Ing to the 'GERMANS. When our Washington leaders talk to US, whom they suspect ot being much too confident, they take the line that it will be a, LONG TIME and that there will b a LOT of fight left In the Ger mans when the lime for Invasion comes.) I LL ot which leads, us, In the I most natural way, to DIS BELIEVE EVERYTHING' that ANYBODY says, L line, says the fighting In Rus sia has proved that the Germans LACK RESERVES, adding that the Russian army now clearly outnumbers the ENTIRE Ger man army of live to seven mil lion men. FIGHTING Admlrul Hal soy, back from the Pacific for a few days, contributes a good crack. He says: "When American troops get to where Tokyo NOW STANDS, there will be a little celebration whore Tokyo WAS." Ho adds that our boys are bet ter In every way than the Jap and are proving It every day. IT Is "disclosed" that we (and the British) now have a twiiir engine KOCKET-propcllod fight er about really for quantity pro duction. It Is exacted to be fast maybe as much as 500 mph. Maybe even more. Somewhere over '100 mph Is supiwsod to be the top limit for propeller planes, and so the rocket-driven type is being dcveloied In order to get more speed. Otto A.

' By Charles UB were privileged for three " of the Oregon State Indutruil council in Roseburg. We were greatly impressed by this convention, despite the fact we were able to spend only a little time in the convention hall, ; ;Accu.stomed to meetings at which delegates and visitors .spend a, good deal of time ijt entertainment, recreation, and horseplayi : wi$lt; , an occasional showing of rowdyism, we could not, help but be impressed with the conduct of the delegates to the state C. I. O. gathering. Except for the fact one saw on the streets a number of strange men and women wearing badges, and that hotels and restaurants were crowded, there was little to indicate a convention was in progress. No hotel lobby groups were harmonizing "Sweet Adeline."' No mirrors were tossed out of hotel windows, no bags of water dropped on the heads of passersby, no noisy night parties. It was not the kind of a convention we have been laminar witn m the past. Most interesting was the conduct of the business sessions. The convention hall demonstrated the old town, meeting ijt its best tradition. Any person was privileged,, to 'stand on. his own two. feet and speak his piece. Direct-action was manifest from beginning to end. .There',;tyas :lttle; use of, formal, diplomatic language. When a delegate had some?. thing to say, he said it without flourishes and without any chance for his words to contain double meanings JJis state; ments were unequivocal and to the point. If he had a criti cism to make, there was no mistaking the: subject of his criticism nor the reason for it. There wer'e'clifferences.o opinion, and arguments waged hot and virulent. But little bitterness or rancour was in evidence, and diiteAhJiJieuUsd; words which might fly any mignt be seen a lew minutes later-collaborating on. another issue on which they were in perfect harmonyJ,- , j Ernest Baker, president and presiding officer-;1 made it a point to see that any delegate or visitor who desired to speak before the convention had an opportunity to be heard on any subject. Yet, in conducting the business affairs, he could be blunt and forthright in keeping the discussion confined to tho issues before .the meeting. It was one of the most democratic sessions of its kind we have ever had the pleasure of attending. Although we, personally, could not agree with some of the viewpoints expressed by individuals and, at times, by the convention as a whole, yet the demonstration of a group of men and women attacking important problems in a vigorous, forthright and democratic spirit was an encour aging sight.. I, '-' We observed also the apparent sincerity with, which the convention approached niajor problems. - Some of the speak ers were intemperate in statements and at times bordered ,tho radjical,, yet they were given polite hoarinn ajnd corn pleto' freedom of expression. But those speakers who dis cussed major issues of politics, economics, production, and other problems, and who presented an authoritative view. were given the closest attention and appreciative applause. We may not at all t.-mes agree with the attitude of organiz ed labor. We are certain to find, when groups are organized for their own particular welfare, au intolerance of other groups and classes. Nevertheless as long as men and women imbued with the patriotism demonstrated in the C. I. O. convention here get together and, with full exercise of democratic privileges, freely discuss the varied opinions they hold, there is ample assurance that this country cannot go too far wrong for any great period of time.

Our people hope for the future lies in this fact. Today we do not point to our mate rial might, as we think in terms o our nation we do not point to our material might. We are thinking in terms, ol something more worthy than wealth. We point to those men who have loved liberty and Jus lice, and who have been willing to lay down their lives for those things. It is fitting that we should thank God that He has given us the opportunity to hold aloft the light of truth, liberty and justice that all peo ple may have equal chance for 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," and may under stand with, us the sacred mean ing of America. i'God bless America, land tbut I love, stand beside her audi guide her, through the night with a light from above."
