TOLD TO by the Kremlin. Unless
the Kremlin wanted the rest of
the world to know of it, the news
wouldn't have been passed by the
Russian censor.
It Is fairly safe therefore to
assume that the Kremlin may
have something up its sleeve.
Sakhalin would be as good an
excuse as any for getting Into
the Jap war.
OUR big Interest in Russia Is
whether or not she is going
to war with the Japs. If she gets
Into the Pacific war, we're going
to think quite kindly of her. If
she doesn't, we common people
(regardles of whatever stuff the
diplomats feed us) will wonder
why we go on lend-leasing her.
WE learn that the 400 B-29s that
raided southeast Honshu on
May 10 destroyed from 85 to 90
per cent of Japan's GREATEST
OIL STORAGE AREA, Including
both the army's and the navy's
fuel concentrations. In addition,
one of the empire's biggest re
fineries was forced out of oflera
tion. We know what oil destruction
d'.d to Germany. So we know what
It WILL DO to Japan. It is more
lit OUR kind of warfare.
fE'RE crowding the Okinawa
Japs hard, but' there is still
no dependable evidence of col
lapse of Jap resistance. We'll have
to kill them all, as usual.
WE could go at It more slowly
and starve them out and hack
them down by gradual attrition,
but we have to have bases and
Okinawa is our best bet. Its best
airfield possibilities He south of
Naha and the Shurl line. The
sooner we can get all of Okinawa
the soone we'll be able to begin
to fight our kind of war Instead of
having to fight the Jap way.
Besides, as long as we're fight
ing on Okinawa our navy will
have to be deployed around the
island to prevent the enemy from
getting in reinforcements. Thus
deployed, our ships are open to
Jap suicide attacks by air and
tea. We've already lost upwards
of two dozen ships sunk (mostly
smaller units) and tin undisclosed
but rather considerable number
damaged.
It will be cheaper In the long
run lo clean Okinawa up as
quickly as possible.
WHAT is happening in Europe
Is still more or less of a cen
sored mystery whose red hot core
Is the disposition of the na.l war
criminals.
A member of the allied war
crimes commission (on which
Russia is not represented) dis
closes that a decision will prob
ably be reached at a meeting of
tile commission on May 31. He
adils that the blacklist is about
tvmpli'le.
Most of us know what ought to
be done. We should try all of
them Ihal we can lay hands on
quickly, sternly and fairly and
then shoot the convicted ones
without delay. Above everything
else, there should 1m- NONE of the
traditional American sob-sister
stuff In the trial.
THAT is what probably will be
done, for these are stern days
and everyone knows It, but the
hush-hush censored mystery that
is being made of the criminals
business stirs suspicion and
doubt and gives the Russians con
tinued opportunity to pot shot at
us and the British, thus stirring
up suspicion and 111 will where
there should be complete and un
derstanding co-operation.

THE THREAT TO OUR RIVERS
By Charles V. Stanton
A startling: presentation of the threat to fish life in
Oregon streams if the army engineers, reclamation service,
and other agencies, proposing to build dams for hydro
electric development, irrigation, flood control, etc., are per
mitted to have their way, is contained in a report recently
released by the Oregon State Game commission, covering
more than four years of study on the Rogue river.
The study of the Rogue river, as reported by the Game
commission, reveals one fact, definitely and conclusively
if high dams are built on that river its value as a sports
fishing stream will be completely destroyed.
Relative to the proposal of the engineers for power dams
on the Rogue river, the commission's report declares :
The construction of any one or of the entire group of
five power dams on the lower main river below Grants
Pass, Oregon, would destroy the runs of migratory fish,
since it would be neither economically nor biologically
feasible to attempt to maintain them.
It is shown that in addition to blocking natural migration
of fish, construction of dams would i
tures ; would, through storage
controlled summer release, adversely affect flow of water in
btream channels and destroy natural spawning and rearing
areas.
The commission's report is confined strictly to the Rogue
river, on which the survey was started in April, 1941; but
the findings are applicable, we believe, to any other pri
marily recreational stream and especially to the Umpqua
river, on which army engineers and reclamation service al
ready have made studies preliminary to detailed surveys
and preparations of plans for development.
As we look at the waternower niet.uro in ni-nrrnn ViJ
question is one of economic
derived from generation of power, distributing water for
irrigation, and control of flood damage are greater than
the potential recreational resources, and, if one or the other
must be sacrificed, then the benefits should be accurately
measured and determined.
The Game commission's Ron-tie Fiver rennrf. rlrw tumm-
thing that has never been, previously attempted: it places
a dollars-and-cents value upon the Rogue river's recreational
asset.
The survey, takinir 1940 alio Inst
shows the income from recreation alone to have amounted
to approximately ONE MILLION dollm-H vt tho
investment in strictly recreational facilities is only two
nnu one-nan million dollars. Recreational activities fur
nished employment to from 4G9 to i49
than SO per cent "of the entire
T 1. liriii ...
ueacn ana weuaerDurn, at the mouth of the river, was
derived from the fishery resource."
Catch records show the value
commercially, to be approximately $280,500.
The report states: "If the annual inenmo fSi mm rmm
represents a return of 4 per cent, then the fishery resources
may . ue capitalized at nhout 5,000,000." , I
An industry worth S25 million is nnr. tr l. imu..v.,,i .,f
The question the people on the
is whether by sacrificing this
sake of irrigation, development
v.m nave an asset oi greater continuing value, bringing into
calculation the original investment and the annual cost of
upkeep and maintenance. Tim
must eventually face on the Uniqua river. The Rogue river
is fortunate in the fact that it lias at hand a detailed .study!
and a carefully prepared report, adequately authenticated.

..u UU nut, iihvu compiirauve iigures lor the Umpqua river
and it will require several years to gather the necessary
data. Wo hope the Game commission will undertake this
study without delay, because it will not be long before we,
too, will be faced with the question of whether we shall'
sacrifice our recreational resources for benefits to be realized
from water utilization.
Furthermore, we need expert study of the fish life of
our stream in order that we may more scientifically restore
those species, particularly salmon and steelhead, now Hear
ing extinction. The Umpqua river is rapidly deteriorating
as a salmon and steelhead fishing stream although its po
tential capacity is far greater than that of the Rogue river,
due to greater volume, more extensive protected area, lower
water temperatures, etc.
I! lit the Rogue river snortsinon had t.h r,i-nUi,ri,t ...

ne must secure protective measures on the Umpqua river
before it is completely destroyed, and to determine scien
tilically the best methods of bringing about recovery, we
first need a survey or the type produced by the Game com
mission on the Rogue river.

them Into allowing It to retain

THERE are probably good rea
sons Tor nil we and Ihc British
are doing, but it Is being done in
such a log of secrecy that sus
picions urise inevitably.
For example:
A London News Chronicle cor
respondent says thai Ilimmler has
been TRACED but not arrested;
that the British L'nd armv could
take him Into custody AT ANY
TIME. '
This is probably your first
thought: "Well, WHY DOESN'T
IT? Why risk his getting away?"
THERE are undoubtedly sound I
reasons for not nahhlnu !

to us. But with hatreds at white
heat all this mystery helps to fan
the fires of suspicion and ill will.
Another example:
Eden says that Admiral Doenilz
is under Investigation and "ac
cording to newspaiK-r reports"
has been arrested. All of which
leaves us certain thai he knows
a lot more limn he Is telling.
RUSSIAN prodding ot us and
the British isn't too hard lo
understand.
We and the .British are snoot
ing Russia because of her
handling of the Polish matter.
Quite naturally the Russians are
spatting back at us, putting us In

It Is bard tor us little people

DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
When Daniel was cast into
the Lion's den, King Darius
said, "Thy God whom thou
servest continually, He will
deliver thee." Next morning
the king hastened to the den
and called out to Daniel, who
told him that God had sent His
angels to stop the mouths of
the lions. Then the king issued
a decree that all people should
"tremble and fear before the
God of Daniel, for He is the
living God, and steadfast for
ever. That ancient Persian
king voiced the eternal cer
tainty of all life. The author
of Hebrews expressed the same
. thought. "Jesus Christ, the
same yesterday and today, and
forever." To ignore God in
Christ is to ignore the most
profound fact of life. Today
in the midst of warfare and
social upheaval, how reassuring
it is to know that there Is a
constant factor that does nof
change. Blessed are they who
in a world of unrest can none
trate to the very heart of God
and say, "O Thou who changed
not abide with me." The
hunger for God in the human
heart is universal and by the
same token God and His re
sources are available for all.
No man is defeated" who .has
God for He Is the living God,
and steadfast forever. Amen.

Be sure you get the special
Maritime Salute show scheduled
for 8:30 tonight. These special
presentations are usually worth
your listening time. You'll hear
Annaloris as usual at 8:00, but
Recital Halt of the Air had to
be postponed; we'll advise you
later as to the time for that. We'd
also like to mention the 9:30
show on Tuesday nights. It's title
is Chaplain Jim, and we'll admit
it didn't sound like much to us
when It was first announced, but
weVe heard It a couple of times
and we'll pass along the informa
tion that it's really very good.
Try It tonight and see If you don't
think so, too. We would also like
to recommend the new Something

hear each Monday, Wednesday
and Friday mornings it's very
entertaining.
Glancing through the publicity
