Their food habits were forcibly changed. Their freedom was interfered with to an extent that we can't fully realize, for ut the end of nil the persuading hero In England has been FORCE. II you didn't do it vol untarily, you could be (and as a matter of fact often WERE) conv pelled to do it. If you simply wouldn't go into the right kind of Job, a policeman could (and sometimes did) lead you off and PUT you where you should be. If the farmer couldn't be honeyed into growing the crops that were needed, he could be (and In In stances WAS) tossed off his farm and somebody was put there who would grow the right kind of ' crops. This war with Germany was for keeps, and every Englishman knew it. While the WAR WAS ON he stood fast and did his Job with a grim determination that has seldom been equaled. He took what came and stood up under it. THEN, almost as suddenly us; one awakens from nightmare ridden sleep, the bombs ceased to fall. They ceased to fall be cause the nazis were whipped and could no longer launch them. The MENACE of Germany was removed. You know how it is. When DANGER IS IN THE AIR you do your best and if you're normal you do It uncomplainingly. When the danger pusses you re laxand IMMEDIATELY you be come conscious of ull your minor discomforts. It was that way with the British. When the bombs quit falling, they realized suddenly that they didn't have nil they wanted to eat, that getting what there was was all bound up with red tape, that their personal liberties were inhibited, that there were no houses to live In, that they had to stand In queues for everything from busses up. And so on to Hie end of the chapter. They were dog-weary with the whole state of affairs, and they were in a beautiful mood to hit somebody on the nose. The nose that presented Itself was the party in power. So they SWATTED the Con servatives and all their works. THERE enters here a point that In this writer's opinion Is of the ulmost Importance. If Presi dent Roosevelt had been defeated last fall, it would have been a PERSONAL, defeat for him a clear sign in the sky that the American people had lost con fidence in HIM, and wanted SOMEHODY else as their loader. It doesn't seem to be that way here. After diligent inquiry pursued among as nearly all classes of people as a stranger in a strange city In a foreign country can eume Into contact with, I his writer Is convinced that there is NO dirr.!:;uti---.". in 'he respect In which Churchill Is held. They are jusl as fond ot him as ever. People of the obvious type that must have voted the lubor ticket speak of him with AKl'ECTCON. Listening to this talk, one Just can't believe that there was any PERSONAL element in Cliur chill's defeat. MltfELL," you ask, "w Vf it add up to?" hat does To this: The government of Britain Is a GOVERNMENT OK LAWS, and in the recent sioe tacular election the people of Britain were going after the makers of the laws, with little rancor toward the EXECUTIVE "EXPERT" RECONVERSION By Charlss Observers predict for this depression to be followed by ly anticipated to continue on from four to six years. The problem of converting our great industrial machine from war to peacetime production is causing much anxiety. Government economists expect iinenr ployment to reach the seven million mark by Christmas. Can cellation of government contracts for materials of war means idle factories and idle production of civilian goods is opinion that the process of reconversion will be completed by the middle of 1946 when the postwar boom will begin to manifest itself. Here in Douglas county we have no reconversion problem. Our sawmills will continue to cut materials on government order, at least for several months, and anxious customers, owners of empty retail lumber needed for a gigantic building and abroad. Furthermore, lifting of machinery and building restric tions should bring new industries, particularly in the field of specialized manufacture. believe, has an exceptionally favorable economic outlook for many years in the future. We would feel much more optimistic about' the national outlook if we heard less from government economists and more from industrial leaders. Maybe we're just old fashioned in our thinking, but all this talk of government-planned reconversion gives us the jitters. As a sample of our antiquated opinions, we believe that men who head successful business enterprises know more about business and industrial affairs than do govern ment economists, the bulk of whom are college professors or recent college graduates, few of whom have ever been con nected with a successful business or industry. We've seen government agencies and bureaus bungle, mud dle and befuddle about everything they have tried to do on the domestic front during the war period. We've seen things bulled up until the average individual has given up in des pair. Business, trying to cope with the maze of pyramiding and conflicting controls, has been terrifically handicapped If the expert muddlers are to have their fingers in the re conversion problem, we frankly fear the worst. But if the government experts will quit trying to manage the affairs of private industry and business and give normal processes a chance, we believe the postwar slump can be shortened considerably. We're just simple-minded and old fashioned enough to be lieve that if big and little business (private industry, if you please) are given an opportunity to manage the industrial and business activities of this country with C 0 0 P E R A T10N, rafher than MANAGEMENT, from government, we'll get back into full scale production a lot quicker than if wo continue under the thumb of the so-called government experts. We'd like to get buck to a condition in which a business man could know who Human Quality of Atom Bomb Plane Pilot is Revealed By neWl'IT MacKENZIE AH Foreign Affairs Analyst Just before Japan's inquiry about peace terms, the Tokyo ra dio was directing a barrage ot name calling against the allies because of bombing "barbaric," "savage," "Inhuman" and what not. The Jap spokesmen also were surprisingly "frank" in broad easting (to the outside world but not to the home public) the ef fects of that first historic atomic bomb on Hiroshima- how every living thing, both human and animal, was destroyed. It was calculated to make one's flesh creep and certainly had consid erable success. Well, now, these charges of barbarism, backed by stories of wholesale slaughter of civilians, were Intended for more than mere vituperation. Their pur pose was to break down the de termination of the Allied peoples to carry the war through to utler destruction of Japan unless there was unconditional surrender. The Tokyo spokesmen were trying to play on our emotions. Humaneness Uppermost The best answer 1 know to all this is a little storv. in which the central figure Is Vol. Paul Tib bets, of Miami, Kla., who piloted the D-28 carrying the atomic bomb to Hiroshima. It well il lustrates the code of the Amor- who bosses the job. Thoy were entirely consistent. We In America are trending toward a GOVERNMENT OF MEN. When we don't like the way things are being run, we GO AFTER THE MAN. It isn't a particularly comfort ing conclusion, but this Is about the best this writer can make ot it. 1 1. SO no one can make this humble writer believe the British are going off the deep end into socialism and all Its works. More consideration for the common man and his wel fare, yes. That Is a world-wide trend. Hut not into a communis tic state in which everybody says: 'This Is OURS." It seems to this writer, after admittedly brief observation, that the British like too well to say: "This is MINE." V. Stanton country a temporary, postwar a period of prosperity, general the upgrade for a period of workers until the change to completed It is the prevailing yards, are seeking materials program both in this country Douglas county, in general, we was running his business. lean airmen -of the Aillied air man, for that matter. 1 ran into Tibbets back in October, 1942, In England when he was just getting under way on the distinguished career that has weighted down his chest with decorations. I had a long talk with the young officer at his headquarters, and deliberately steered the conversa tion around to his reactions to the Joh of bombing. He told me that while he was waiting for his first raid he was sick over the thoughts of the civilians who might suffer from the bombs dropped by his machine. "That feeling probably dates back to my training days," he remarked. "We had it hammered into us constantly that in prac tice we must watch out for the folks beneath us. This reaction persisted through my first three raids. Finally I got used to the idea, but 1 am cautious. When I look at a 2,000-pound bomb in the bay of my ship I know a lot of people may get hurt. My anxiety is for the women and kids." The colonel paused and his eyes sought the horizon. Then, hesitatively: "You see 1 have a three-year-old boy of my own at home. I hate to think of him playing near a bombed factory. That makes me careful." Proud of Fighting Code A few days before that Tib hots had piloted his squadron in an attack on the great French industrial city of Lille, then in tier man hands. 1 asked him il he had any special impression during this raid. "Yes." he replied. "This is the most heavily populated area we have attacked and our target was in the thick of it. I rcmomlx-r as we eanie above a great circle with a church beside it which was the guide for our target- it came over me that If wo missed the target we should hurt a lot of people. 1 gave the bombardier a heap of mental supiiort to get his target. We don't want to hit anything but our target." That sort of thing makes you proud ot our fighting code. II does seem odd that fate should have selected Tihhots for the Hiroshima mission, although the city was an out and out military target, liul maybe late wasn't so cr,i. at that, for Tibbets' ethics are a good answer to the Japanese charges of barbarism.

THE QftfW WHY MOTHERS GET Russia Believed Using POWs On Reconversion Jobs WASHINGTON. Aug. 17. (AP) Russia has declined to dis cuss the fate of hundreds of thousands of Gorman prisoners in her hands. This development of the Pots dam conference has disrupted at tempts to reach an Allied agree ment for the systematic return ol captured Germans to civil life in all parts ot Germany. American occupation forces have proceeded on schedule to screen and release prisoners not held lor war crimes. But so far as this country's representatives nave neen able to learn, Russia has released few, if any, of the men it holds. The supposition in oficial quar ters here is that the Russians already have put many of these prisoners to work in rebuilding uicuii lus juiu ernes ocvasiarea oy the German invaders. The Russians Ions aco made known their intention of utilizing lorcea moor ior reconstruction. i here were reports that laree numbers of civilians had been transported from Poland and other Soviet-occupied areas to Russia to work in factories, on farms, in the mines and on re construction projects.

Mr. Cannon will be at the Em ployment office in the court house, from 8:30 A. M. until noon, to assist employers and employes with social security problems. Monday, August 20, at 4:45 P. M., Cannon will broad cast over KRNR on "Our Town and Social Security." In speaking of redeployment, Cannon said that many return ing veterans are going into busi ness for themselves for the first time. Some are men who have never been an mployer of labor before. These individuals are re minded that any new employer should file an application with the Social Security board for an identification number for the business. This is necessary even though oniy one person is on the payroll, and perhaps works only part time. Each employer is re quired to keep a record of the worker's social security account number for use when it comes time to make out the social se curity tax return to the collector of internal revenue. Interested Individuals, who live outside of Roseburg, should watch the newspapers of their cities for the announcement of when a representative of that office will visit their community. New employers may secure ident ification numbers either by call ing at the employment office or by writing the Eugene office of the Social Security board, for ap plication forms SS-4, Cannon says.
