The pub is a great place to talk things over.) These British cousins of ours urc no qulters. When they start something, they aim to finish it, There's a bulldog quality to the breed that you can't help admir ing unqualifiedly. . BESIDES, British prestige (call It "face" If you want to) is all tied up with the Jap war. If the British fizzled out of the Pacific war, they'd be all through in the Far East and they have no intention of permitting them selves to be all washed up there. In the world of the future, the British are overlooking no bets, and their Far East bet Is an im portant one. On Friday morning (the (lay niter the political end of the world) the London papers gave EQUAL PLAY to the Potsdam tiTms to the Japs and the elec tion news. The Times printed on editorial about it right along side its calm, tolerant, well-thought-out essay on the star tling, not to say revolutionary verdict of the voting. a a THERE Is a lot of guessing (some of it here; more, ap parently, in the States) about the possible effects of the election on British foreign policy. Here is this rank outsider's guess: In its ESSENTIALS, Brit ish foreign policy will be VERY LITLE AFFECTED. British foreign policy (which, unlike ours, Is definitely tied up with the welfai'3 of every British subject) Is something that goes on and on, regardless of elections and party changes. il IOTE that Churchill took Alt- lee, his opponent In this hot test of hot elections, ALONG WITH HIM to Potsdam. It wasn't Just a Cliurchilllan gesture of sportsmanship. It went much deeper than that. It went, In fact, clear down to the roots of the British system. Kemember that this Potsdam conference, with Its unbelievable possibilities for good or evil, be gan while the verdict of the Brit ish election was still held in sus pension. There was the inevitable, unpalatable, rough-edged and hard to swallow contingency that Churchill's Conservative party might be overthrown and the Labor party might triumph. In that event BRITAIN (as it turns out to have been) would be left in an extremely awkward posi tion, with a new man coming Into the conference right in its middle. Somehow that dangerous situa tion had to be circumvented to whatever extent was possible. SO--Churchill took Attlee along to that, In the event of the dreaded change of power, Attlee would have been there on the ground, taking part In the de liberations, familiar wllh the de cisions. EQUIPPED TO CAHKY ON for Britain. . . IT was a fine thing to do. Hnf brratlse It Is FUNDAMENTAL in the British system, il must ho repented that it wasn't just a iipontaneous, sportsmanlike ges ture on Churchill's part. Churchill is CAPABLE of that kind of gesture, but he didn't do it just as a personal move. He was simply doing what he knew British public opinion called up on him in the circumstances to d.-. He was PROTECTING BIUT- By Charles V. Stanton Taking note of the fact that the city of Roseburg has adopted an ordinance raising the speed limit of trains pass ing through the city from 15 to 25 miles per hour. The Oregon Statesman, published in Salem, made a crack that Roseburg was waking out of its sleep. We might Inform the Statesman the reason we hesitated to raise the speed of trains is that vye wanted our kids to know what a train looks like. Up in Salem, where trains whiz through every few minutes, youngsters are familiar with the most de luxe freight and passenger trains. But down in this neck of the woods the S. P. is so ashamed of its passenger trains that it runs "if long after curfew hours and many of our boys and girls have never seen a real, live; hohest-to-good-ness train in which people ride on cushions. We have .plenty of freight trains, carrying out more than 2,000 cars of our own products every month but passenger tralns-hunh-uh. Consequently, when we have to look at them in the dark we at least want them to travel slow enough that we can make out a few distinguishing characteristics. But some other ordinances on Roseburg's law books need changing. ; For instance do you Roseburg residents know that you are required to honk the horn of your automobile before driving into an intersection. Yep, that's right. It was passed along in 1907 to save horses from conniption fits every time one of those infernal gas buggies, driven by the reckless radical and decadent youthful population, snorted its dusty way along the main drag. But before you start trying to obey that old 1907 city ordinance let us hasten to add that you can and probably will be thrown into jail if you try to keep within the law, for the city has another and later ordinance which declares it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine andor jail sentence, to make unnecessary noise. And that goes for yelling but loud. You can toot your own horri, but leave the automobile klaxon for emergencies only. And if you drive into town in the surrey with the fringe to top don't forget to look up Roseburg's law, still unrepealed, which regulates the manner in which 01' Dobbin must be hitched, tied or otherwise secured. Roseburg wasn't a one' horse town in the old days, though it is a one-passenger-train town now. It's time, in our opinion,- 'that the city of Roseburg re codified its laws, adopted a new charter, and streamlined municipal management. It's time to get out of the hprsd Hhd buggy days and adjust our administrative functions; to keep pace with the progress destined to come as; soon as war- caused restrictions are released. - : , : ' ' Roseburg is certain Iff become the center of the Pacific coast' b lumber industry, which will bring increased popula tion, new .businesses and new activities. A lot of headaches are in store for city officials in the next few yea A as--Wft. struggle with problems of zoning, streets, sanitary system, fire protection, police protection, building codes, inspections, and all services for which municipal government is respon sible. - In those days we will not want to be encumbered with archaic methods of administration, nor a bunch of old obso lete charter provisions and outmoded ordinances. Now is the time to start clearing the decks. Let's prepare and adopt a new charter, recodify our laws streamline our city government, switch, perhaps, to a city manager form of administration. But let's start now. Let's not Wait until the pressure is on.
