.ever on the continent threatened
to get too big lor her to handle
has been merely Britain's way of
"looking put for her OWN best
.Interests.) . .
STALIN, can hardly be un
familiar w'th this hfstqrlcul
fact. Nor dan It be news tq him
! that thQ Pussia of today Is get
'' ling very big and very powerful
' Jt has doubtless occurred to
jhim frequently that the Russia
; he has had a big part In creating
j Is reaching the position of power
1 whqrq she Is a possible threat to
Britain's ' long-eonllnupcj domln
5 ailce of Europe.
IIo may bo expecting the Brit
' ish to do what they have, done
!; often enough before that Is, to
j CHANGE ' ALLIES (not necos
; sarlly right now, In the hent of
the. fighting, hut at some time
sooner or later).
He may be taking this round
about way of tolling them that
'he tsnt going to stand for any
i such tactics THIS TIME in the
case of Poland or anybody else.
THE sweetness and light that ap
peared to emanate first from
, Moscow when the top hired men
' of Britain, tlie United, Stales and
Russia got together to talk things
. ovqr, and later at Teheran, when
$ the top nier) themselves got q
i geljicr, havq seemed tq a ot of
? us io be too good to be rue.
There has never been much
.' danger that we and the Russians
" won't be able to get along ami
; ably, for we DON'T WANT THE
j SAME THINGS. But Britain and
Russia DO want a LOT of the
f same (hings.
Fqr one thing, they want
1 "spheres of Influence" In F.u
l rope. When you look al the niap,
J you can't help wondering how
. British and Russian spheres of
Influence can be drawn without
OVERLAPPING each other.
j Every such qverlnp Is a possl
ij,,.- fwiiu ui iiuiiiit:.
IN Napoleon's time, when Brit
ain (cared prance, she sought
Germany's help prltnai-lly and
Russia's secondarily. Whcn-Iirit-nln's
fears ahlflcd to Germany,
she sought allances with France
and Russia.
It could readily occur to Stalin
that NOW, with Russia gelling
big and unbelievably powerful,
Britain's thinking might turn to
ward Germany as an ally against
a TOO-BIG Russia.
. Qn purely historical grounds,
all this wouldn't seem loo Im
probable. r
URKEY now holds the Dar
danelles, which Russia has al-
' ways wanted. Turkey Is Hi-Hutu's
f. ally. Britain has been Instruqien-
4al Ix-forc (In the Crimean war,
I fur example) In preventing Russia
j from getting for herseir this
j strategic passage to the warm-
water Mediterranean.
JT isn't likely that Russia Is go
to stop fighting Germany. It
ERTAINLY Isn't likely that the

HIGHWAY
. By Charles V. Stanton
WILLAMETTE VALLEY communities are gaining in
" realization of the importance of the Pacific highway to
the state of Oregon, Ralph Koozer, president of the Oregon
Pacific highway association, reported here recently to the
Douglas county court. The task of educating influential
groups in the northern pat of the state has been a long, up
hill job. President JCoofcer has; succeeded through direct
action in arousing sentiment favoring improvement of the
Southern Oregon highway bottlenecks. He has just com
pleted a.trio in whjch he met personally with hundreds' of
business men, civic leaders, county court and chamber of
commerce officials and numerpus qther influential people
in the northern part of the slate to tell the story of the
Pacific highway and the need for general state-wide co
operation in prpmoting its improvement as the No. 1 post
war project.
Southern Oregon counties
working to eliminate excessive grades and curves which
predominate front Eugene south to the stale line, They
have been alone in their task
tered overwhelming opposition from Willamette valley
points, which, through greater political influence were able
to divert money needed for the Southern Oregon highway
into purely local projects. If,
can be secured from the
ment of the Pacific highway
ing the anticipated volume
portant step will Jiave been taken.
Need for the earliest possible reconstruction .of Iligl-
way 99 through Southern Oregon is evident in considera
tion of probable postwar conditions.
Planners everywhere are predicting a tremendous growth
in population and industry
west. The expansion is expected to center largely arpund
ports which will furnish outlets for raw materials and rrmnu
i'actured goods to the South Pacific, China and Russia.
A system of high standard
maintain the volume of exports. The Pacific highway jn
it? present condition cannot possibly accommqdate the
amount and character of traffic almost certain to follow
the war. Unless improvement is immediate, the existing
bottlenecks will seriously interfere with the probable devel
opment of the entire Pacific Northwest. As this condition
bpcomes more generally realized, increasing pressure will
unquestionably force eventual reconstruction, but delay can
be cosily.
We can reasonably expect
bo made, whether it be early or late. Hut we must not over
look the fact that here in Douglas county improvements of
the Pacific highway can have
able results.
We are (particularly interested in development of manu
facturing industries within the county. We have an abun
dance of raw materials, particularly timber. We are assur-
4 of a continuing indiistry
concerned. But we need plants that will turn these raw
materials into finished products. Wo peed furniture fac
tories, sash and door factories, plastic factories, pulp mills
and numerous other such plants
the ample resources we have.
dency to group these manufacturing plants and, unless we
are vigilant, the plants we want here in the Umpqua valley
will bo located around Portland, Tacoma and Seattle. The
better the transportation facilities, the greater is the likeli
hood of the manufacturing plants being located on tide-
-ater. MliSS
Wo would not, if we could, retard improvement ot the
Pacific highway. In fact we consider it the greatest need
we have here in Southern Oregon. But we must realize we
have need for immediate aggressive action in drawing in
dustry to Douglas county and that our task will be made
more difficult as transportation facilities improve. Con
sequently we must attack our problem vigorously,
make sense.
It Is much more likely that
this mysterious Russian charge
against Britain's good lallh has
to do with long-range afior-the-war
negotiations that must al
ready be under consideration and
that Stalin Is merely giving
warning that THIS TIME Russia
Is going to have what she wants.

FSA Borrowers
Of Douglas Post
New Marks in '43
Douglas county's 80 FSA bor
rowers topped all previous war
food production, loan repayment,
and canning records during 1943,
according to a progress report
released at the Roseburg FSA of
fice by Phillip W. Farrell, dis
trict farm security supervisor,
Redmond. Largely representing
family-sized and smaller arms,
all 19-12 records were passed de
spite increased wartime farming
difficulties.
"While many larger dairies de
creased milk production, FSA
borrowers In 1943 reported 27,300
gallons of milk as compared to
21,(100 in 1942 or a net increase
of 5,700 gallons," Farrell said.
Other important war food in
creases Included an 8.4(H) dozen
jump In egg production from 72,
000 to 80,400 last year, and a
boost in pork and beef from J9,-
500 pounds In 1912 to a total of
118,400 pounds in 1943."
Loan Repayment Rapid. 1
New highs In loan repayments
were reached with 34 borrowers
repaying their loans in full last
year and many making advance
payments on their obligatiohs,
the report revealed. Repayments
represent over 95 per cent of all
maturities duo. A total of 312
borrowers In the county have
been loaned $200,900, total repay
ments including principal and
interest, are $157,348, and 171 re
paid their loans In full. Others
still have from two to four years
to run.
"FSA homemakers added near
ly S7,00() to farm Income durine
the year through canning 27,330
quarts of fruits and vegetables
lor Home use." said Farrell-
"Value of family food produced
on tne larm, including meat
eggs, milk and garden produce,
averaged over 5400 per family
All borrowers deserve the high
est praise not only for their live-at-home
programs but for exceed
ing their goals in important war
toon production.
