L) llii! Immediate future in this gen eral urea. From where the Russians now are, tho Rumanian oil fields are less than 200 miles distant, but to reach them the Russians will have to force their way through a narrow gap (not much more than 50 miles wide) between the Carpathians and the marshy country of the delta of the Dan ube, where the great river flows out through a number of mouths Into tho Black sou. The Germans have been report ed for nearly two weeks to be rushing troops and equipment" through Hungary into Rumania, and It is a logical guess that In this narrow gap, with their left flank protected by the high Car pathians and their right flank by the wide Danube, they will make a last-stand fight for the Ploesti oil fields, which they can't af ford to lose. WHAT will happen In the Hal kilns from here on can only ho guessed nt. Many things j (jugi..!; Happen. The Russians might storm the positions tho Germans are un doubtedly building frantically in the valley of the lower Danube. The Turks MIGHT consider this the psychological moment for them to enter the war and make themselves solid with the victors hy. coming in on the German : flank through Bulgaria. We and I rne urnisu iviiv,mi invauc the llalkans through the Yugoslav back door, Joining up with Tito and his Partisans on the way and taking the Germans in Rumania In t lie rear. Or the Russians, as they have so often done before, might let tip at the southern end of their front and strike with tremendous force at the far ninth, where lliey have been quiet for sonic time. Any, or even ALL, nl these things could happen. What ac tually will happen Is largely up to Stalin. Tim fighting in Italy is still ills apHlnting from the stand point of our side. The (In in. ins are GAINING at Cassino. and are applying pressure to us at 1 An.lo. In all this lighlmg in wuiilu tii i Italy, they hold the advantage : of position and it is probable that their losses are considerably : smaller than ours.

Stantofc DOUGLAS COUNTY, for many years a republican strong hold, may find its position decidedly altered following the close of registration April 18. Newcomers being registered by the county clerk are preponderantly members of the democratic party. Our gain in population is largely con nected with industry, although some are farmers, princi pally from the state of California. Industrial workers have been for the most part support ers of the party in power, and were largely responsible for the third term victory. California's farm population is strongly democratic in political affiliation. Douglas county's new residents, being principally from these two groups, it is understandable that the democratic registration may be ex pected to increase. The 19-12 registration in Douglas county listed 7,150 re publicans and 5,145 democrats. A better comparison, how ever, is afforded by the 1940 list, which was a registration for a presidential election, showing 8,878 republicans and 6,550 democrats. Tho republican majority in each registration was ap proximately the same 2,305 and 2,U28 but current indi cations are that this margin of republicans over democrats will be materially reduced by current enrollment of voters. There is, however, one factor which may permit the re publicans to retain at least a numerical advantage, al though it may not be a factual margin. A good many demo crats are changing their registration to republican in order to participate in. the primary election battle between Rufus Ilolman and Wayne Morse for senator. Organized labor in Oregon tention to "get Ilolman." Consequently a considerable num ber of union workers, normally registered as democrats, may be expected to switch registration in order to carry out labor's program for defeating the incumbent senator. Thus the republicans may retain their paper majority and Douglas county may remain republican in the statistical column, but the situation contains only minor comfort. The registration books close April 18. There is every in dication that there will be a great last-minute rush on the part of prospective voters, who evidently are delaying regis tration, a necessary qualification for tho May 19 primaries. Hundreds of new residents are known to have moved into the county since tho 1940 election, yet comparatively few have registered to vote. Other hundreds have changed resi dence, moving from one voting precinct to another, but have failed to correct their registration. The number of new voters young people who have become of legal age since the last election will necessarily bo smaller than nor mal because of the many men in military service who will not bother to file their registration by mail. tJt is tie duty of every citizen to vote. The responsibility is greater now than ever before, as vital issues are to be be fore the American people during tho remaining months of war and tho period of peace negotiations and domestic re adjustments, almost certain to occur during the four years of the next administration. Every citizen should vote. preliminary qualiltcatton to casting a ballot one should neglect his registration. Our advice is to UKGIST1SU NOW! Don't delay until the last minute! s,.ac. tlian the ilways reassuring dispatches disclose.

C, Mar. 25 The visit of a group of repub Mean congressmen with Secre tary of State Hull has caused quite a stir here. Actually, and I know, because I was a member of tho group, there was nothing startling in the fact that some members of the house wanted to discuss foreign policy with the secretary of state, or in what took place In tho meeting. How ever, the current vagueness of our foreign policy as publicly stated, and the fact that soma recent developments havei been shrouded In mystery and secrecy, makes any happening at the state department pretty hot news. The reporters (and the people) . are hungry for news of what's going on in our foreign relations. We did not go to the secretary with a s.oirit of antagonism or even of criticism. It was hert'ev ecl that the silence of the State department on several important developments was actually harm- Therefore no!'"K ol"' "ar cffnrt- ,n mlr 'otter ' I..

Dealing with our present pow erful ally, Russia, is apparently complicated by the decided psy chological difference in back ground between that country and the democracies. For the past twenty years the soviet governt ment has been frowned upon and has even at times been roundly berated by Its present allies. Now that the situation Is quite differ ent, the Russians arc most sensi: live to criticism or anything that sounds to them like criti cism. This psychology is further enhanced hy the fact that Russia has suffered severe losses In this war and has acquired something of an abused feeling based upon (heir contention that we (the al lies against Germany) have been lying back waiting for Russia to biing Germany to her knees.

As stated In the first para graph of this., letter, nothing of importance came from the meet ing with Secretary Hujl. I did, however, gain an impression or two. The State department seems to bo woefully in need of a bet ter public relations staff. It should take the people of tho country into Its confidence, so far as can be dono, and should not place itself In a position of springing somothing new and slartling on qs that the people are in no way prepared, by pre vious information, to understand or approve. I gained the impression, wheth er it is right or wrong I do not know, that the attitude of the Slate department (and the ad ministration) in present handling of foreign relations and negotia tions is not in keeping with our actual power In the world of to day. Wo do not seem to bo force ful, to take, a p;h t of leadership, This, If true, may be a bit hard for the practical leaders of other powers to understand and hence he a source of confusion. From their point of view they would naturally expect this government to take a position of firmness and leadreshlo which it apparently is not doing. Or is it?- We sought to find out but did not.
