" Tea again".- The coffee habit, which Is spreading so rapidly In London and wherever U. S. troops have been based for a long time, hasn't hit this part of the Mid lands. But English tea is easy to take. Food soon arrives and it is FOOD! Holy mother of pearl! Look at that lump of butter! ft would choke a giratre. And the bacon It is cut with a KNIFE, not shaved with a razor. And real toast, with but ter enough to souk it down prop erly. There are no eggs -eggs are like hens' teeth everywhere here - but the lusty bacon slices curl around one of these blte slze Eng lish war tomatoes, stewed and with a goodish sauce over it. THE strange, ofl tlils-world part of it is that it all TASTES like food. In war-ravaged London, oaten out of house and home by the hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians of all nations, the food all tastes alike but not like food. It makes no difference whether vou lav 18 shillings for it at the hot spots or two and six at a run of the mill place, it au manages to taste the same. As cevrywhere In Europe, the food is certainly better in tne country. TOMATOES (pronounced toman-toes by most and toin-mat-Iocs by quite a few) are not a natural English crop and are Im ported in normal times, many of them coming from the Channel islands, some from France and quite a few from Spain. The English climate lacks the sun and heat necessary to ripen them.. But because of their high vitamin content they are Impor tant in war diet. Since the whole British food effort has been directed at adequate food to main tain health, plus saving of ship ping space, growing of tomatoes has been one of the "musts." They are grown outside, picked from (he vines and ripened un der glass. They are alwut tin s.: of a good big walnut but their flavor is good and the British like this home product so well that Ihere is some thought that toma toes may be grown commercially after the war. ' Potatoes are heavily grown as a. war "must," because of their j high food total per acre. Potalo growing will slump sharply fafttr5 tfi'u-i. lisrvest. , . : - .,'.''"";'' J THE VALUE By Charles Frequently we have made dollars and cents of sports fishing in Oregon streams. This value, we believe, ahould be fully realized in calculating most beneficial use of water resources. Some waters, un questionably, Jtave greater value for irrigation than for rec reational 'use. With Bonneville already seeking outlets for power, jn the postwar period it is very doubtful whether further hydroelectric development is essential in the im mediate future. Flood control is a vital factor in some areas. But in every case where water is to be diverted for some utilitarion purpose, full consideration should be given to the possibility of damaging determination of wfejher the purpose to be served by diver sion outweighs recreational value. Some realization of sports values inherent in Oregon waters may be gained through a study of figures recently compiled and published by the Astorian Budget. The Colum bia river always has been and still is, primarily, a com mercial fishing stream. Astoria1 is the center of the fishing industry. Emphasis, is on the industrial side of the picture. Thus we found two recent editorials in the Astorian Budget of unusual interest in comparing relative values of Oregon fisheries. Pointing out that the fishing industry "is seeking to make well understood its value and importance as an offset to uneconomic, impraetically visionary, and obviously exces sive blockage of streams, (meaning high dams) upon which the industry depends for life", The Astorian Budget says: During the period of the Industry's existence, the salmon . resource has produced revenues totaling almost one billion dollars. Processors and dealers have an investment of $8,250,000 In plants, machinery, boats, trucks and other items of oporating equipment. The 1200 fishermen who operate annually on the river have more than $5,000,000 invested in their boats, nets, gear, docks and other Items. It is estimated that the gross annual return from this investment during the last five years has averaged $9,322, 245 a yoar, or 4 per cent on a capitalized investment of $230,000,000. Although salmon runs have been getting , ' smaller, and the tonnage of catch is lower than eVer before, the resource has maintained a fairly steady dollar value as prices have increased. Thus, even In the face of the . depletion, average for the past two years shows a 4 per i ! cent return on an Investment of $150,000,000. 'Keep in mind this figure of 4 per cent return on invest ment from commercial fishing as we turn to a paragraph in another editorial which appeared in the same newspaper: i j M "It is estimated that the lower Columbia draws revenues I tin. excess of $2,000,000 s year from the sports fisherman. ' Salmon angling on the river Is an enormous recreational asset, and should be cultivated as intensively as possible." 'Commercial fishing on the Columbia river returns 4 pet- cent on investment. At the greatly reduced, the industry tent level only by wartime inflation of prices. . I On the other hand, , the ; $2,000,000 recreational , industry unaffected by market fluctuation. Sportsmen will fish for salmon regardless of what the price of fish might their money for fun not for is certain to decline, sports fishing will gain in the postwar era. We are not told what investment is required to maintain the Columbia's recreational fishing, but we believe it is obvious the investment in boats needed to supply sports fishermen would be far less than the gear required to sup port a commercial industry. The precentage of profit, in relationship of income to investment, it is quite apparent, is far greater in the recreational field. Recreational fishing values increase and commercial fishing values decrease the further one travels from the Columbia river. If, then, the ratio between commercial and sports fishing is so plainly in favor of recreation on the Columbia river, primarily a commercial stream, how much greater it must be on the Umpqua, primarily a sports stream. If the people of Oregon can be brought to realize the fact that they are letting millions of dollars slip through their fingers because of their failure to adequately protect fisheries resources, they will think twice before they will let power-hungry bureaucrats and selfish interests wreck those resources beyond possibility of repair. Big 3 to Prevent Chinese Civil War NEW YOKE.

Hyr5 I IHICENJIMG THE SOUP Mikado's Disposal Presents Serious Problem to Allies By DeWIJT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst The vast reverence which tiie Japanese people have for their god-emperor is being demonstrat ed daily as the Tokyo govern ment proceeds cautiously with the dangerous task of implement ing its capitulation to the allies dangerous because the militarists are against it, and because the general public is undergoing a terrible shock, having been led to believe that Nippon was win ning the war. Now this reverence has noth ing to do with Hlrohilo's capabili ties. It would still be there if he were a moron. It rests in the fact that the people believe they are ruled bv a divine being a living god. They've believed It since 660 B.C. when, according to legend, the first emperor ascended the throne. The Mikado is the last word in the life of the Jap. Actu ally Hirohito has been more or less of a figurehead but even the greatest and most progres sive of his subjects approach his presence with diffidence. We see an excellent example of the Mikado's power In the at titude of Marshal Count Terauehi, Japanese commander in South east Asia. Despite Tokyo's capitu lation, me count rei.vsea lo sur render to Admiral Mounthatten until the emperor himself had given the word. There have been similar cases in other fighting zones. Delicate Situation This is a situation which can't be brushed aside lightly a lact that the allied leaders recognize. It's all very well to shout "hang the Mikado" as more than a few are doing but it would be a perilous experiment to com mit such violence on the primi tive ideas of Japan. Morevover, a lot of allied foil! believe we should be outraging our own Ideals if we struck down the head of a religion. One of the reasons which impelled our American forefathers to come hero from Europe was to secure freedom of worship. The second of the lale President Roosevelt's four freedoms Is "freedom of every person to worship God in his own way everywhere in the world." Sure, I know that opens up the question of worshipping false gods -but let's not go into that here. If the people of Japan want to continue the Shinto religion, we can't stop them by force. We can't stop them by removing their emperor, because Shinto is bigger than he is. Exnniple of Turkey Cited The late Turkish dictator, Kenial Atalink. abolished the caliphate in WIM and kicked the caliph out. Hut that didn't halt Mohammedanism. Atalurk even idiniishcrl tiie fez, which was es sential to the Mohammedan In worship because It had no brim and he could prostrate himself till his forehead touched the ground. Ala'.urk introduced west ern hats with brims, but the faithful found a way to beat that. I saw them In an Ankara mosque wearing American caps, with Ihe visors tinned around back, the way American baseball catchers wear them. Then there's another point: If we use tiie big stick to uproot Shinto, on Ihe ground that It's an in proper religion, we are taking in a lot of territory. After that do we deal with (he Confucian ism ot China, with Buddhism, with Hinduism and what not? The best answer to all this probably is that if western ideas and ideals are presented to (be Japanese xoplo in the mast fa vorable light, we may win them over to our way of thinking. We must remember that, after all, they ate largely a primitive peo ple who literally are generations behind our time. And It's only a little over three hundred years ago that some of us were bur.iiiig witches at the slake. Attends to Business F.. F.
