It Is reassuring to hear Irom the President that no such form ol potential national 'suicide is contemplated. THE President's Navy day ad dress displays NO lack of con lidence In ULTIMATE interna tional co-operation to limit the dangers of world war. Instead, his utterances BREATHE CON FIDENCE throughout in the ULTIMATE possibility of such a thing. He says Ilatly that "there are NO CONFLICTS OF INTER EST among the victorious powers so deeply rooted that they can not be resolved." But he adds that the solution of these "conflicts of Interest" will require a combination of for bearance and firmness and a will ingness to find a common ground as to methods of applying the high principles that will be neces sary If these "conflicts" are to be peacefully settled. He comes as near as a Presi dent can to committing the United States to the Job of using Its great military strength to keep the peace in the DISTURBED INTERVAL while the world Is retting back to sanity after the greatest of r.U wars. II E then outlines a 12-point for- II elgn policy for the United Slates based on the use of mill tary power to preserve peace while we arc planning more ef fective international organisation for that purpose. This 12-poinl foreign policy program Is too long to be even summai'1.cd here, but it has been printed In this newspaper. Read it. Study it. You will find It a hijet and heartening statement of u LIB ERAL AMERICAN OUTLOOK ujion world affairs in which we come close to stating that our relations with the rest of the world will be based upon the principle ot the Golden Rule that Is, that we promise to con duct ourselves toward others as wc would like them to conduct themselves toward us. SUCH a statement is a practical approach toward icHli.uion ol the IDEALISM that Is funda mental In American character. WE must not, however, ignore the TREMENDOUS commit ment that Is involved in it. If ac cepted. It practically pledges US to the Job of WORLD POLICE MAN until the world becomes sane enough to police Itself. Are wc ready to accept that responsibility? WELL, If wc AREN'T may GOD help this world. NEVER since time began was PRACTICAL IDEALISM so sorely needed. Never liefore was there a nation with a background of idealistic purposes toward the rest of ttii earth and at the same time the l-OWER TO PUT ITS PUItlDSKS INTO PRACTICE. We st.ind at a gieat moment in history. WE are the ELECTED PEO PLE. If we don't do the Job NOW, It is probable that it won't tie done. If It Isn't done, our children and their children will pay the price. The price will be HIGH. CAPACITY FOR By Charles V. Stantoa Labor troubles eventually will iron themselves out, but while the light continues, apparently with increasing stub bornness, workers, industry and business in general are tak ing heavy economic losses, and reconversion is being criti cally delayed. Labor and management, we believe, should make a sincere effort to work out a formula, mutually bene ficial, rather than each trying to raid the other's pantry. But such solution obviously is impossible as long' as labor continues unwarranted, show-off strikes, and management is more interested in excess profits than in service to the nation. There are strong indications that management is stiffen ing its resistence to labor's demands for take-home pay equivalent to wartime hours and rates. If, as threatened, the automotive and steel industries, now faced with prob able strikes, adopt starve-out strategy, it will not take long to wipe out a large portion of accumulated individual savings upon which the nation is depending to maintain prosperity for the coming years. A prolonged deadlock could change our present trend toward prosperity into deep depression. Both labor and management would suffer, thereby. Let's take the case of the striking lumber worker here in Oregon. He is demanding a basic wage increase of 20 cents per hour. We are not arguing that this demand is unwarranted. He has been on strike for more than a month. Working at 90 cents per hour, the present basic rate, 40 hours per week for four weeks, he has lost $111. If he is successful in his wage demands, and his basic pay is set at $1.1Q per hour, it will take four and one-half months to make up what he has lost during the period of idleness. In the meantime he could havs cashed war bonds which he had been saving to buy a new radio, a washing machine, furniture or some other article, which would have repre sented man-hours of work for some laborer, in another in dustry. That laborer, in turn, might have used his earnings to buy lumber for a new home, or improvements to an existing home, thereby stimulating the lumber industry. ' This picture, of course, is exaggerated. Few striking lumber workers have been completely unproductive. Most of them are employed at some temporary job, pending set tlement of the strike. Then, too, if strikes are necessary to procure a decent wage and maintain living standards, they are justifiable. We are trying to point out, nomic loss to the nation by continued widespread and pro longed work stoppages. From this standpoint our example is not exaggerated and, in fact, can be carried much further. In every community where ness is vitally affected. Here every store and business house has had a marked shunp in trade volume since the lumber strike was called. This means less money in circulation less pating our accumulated back - be channelled into maintaining ment. It would seem (hat labor seriously concerned about this threat to our economy and should exhaust every means for peaceful settlement of dis putes before halting work. Our soldiers describe a comrade, prone to shoot before his target is well defined, as being "trigger-happy." The same description, we feel, fits much of today's labor trouble strikes called before recognized methods of settle ment have been fully exhausted. Labor's position is that higher wages w ill produce greater purchasing power and thereby maintain prosperity. In order to create such conditions, however, it is necessary that living costs be kept below the advance in wage levels. Industry contends that increased labor costs must raise commodity prices. Industry does not seem inclined to go along with the government's "cost absorption" experiment. Somewhere between the two positions there is a com mon meeting place. Every possible effort, we believe, should be made to locate this spot, before we dissipate our capacity for prosperity. Yiolinist Dated By Assn.

The Oregon work includes grading less than a mile of roadbed and stirfacinp anil oiling 20 miles at about S400.0O0. The commission also agreed to study costs ol a proposed bridge across the Willamette river south of Salem which would link the slate capital with Independence, Chairman Bannelrt told State Senator Dean Walker a plan whereby Marion and Polk coun ties would each share one-fourth of the cost would lie acceptable If the counties could repay the state in seven or eight years.

Union Dues Requirement Afoul of Arkansas Law LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 30 UP) Attorney General Guy E. Williams has held that discharge of union employes for refusal to maintain their union membership constitutes violation of the Ark ansas 1944 "freedom to work" amendment. The opinion went to Terrcl Spencer, president of the Monti cello cotton mills, who wrote that a union was pressing his company to take action against 15 or 20 employes refusing to pay their union dues. The "freedom to work" amend ment provides that no employe can be discharged because he be longs to a union or because he refuses to belong to a union. False Alarm KANSAS CITY, Oct.

A worried world neavco a sign of relief in mid-October when tne Chinese Reds and the generalis simo reached an agreement which ostensibly meant peace at long last. However, the ink was scarce ly dry on the pact before the clash at arms resumed and swelled until now heavy fighting is reported in numerous parts 01 the country, especially the north ern section which is the strong hold of the Communists. The trouble is that trying to make a union of the Chinese Communists and General Chi ang's Kuomintang dictatorship is liKe attempting to mix on ana water. The ideas and ideals of the two factions are as far apart as tne poles, ihey Just don t mix. Moscow Link Disclaimed Right here It should be pointed out that the Chinese Communists claim there's no relationship be tween them and the Russian Com munists. General Chou En-lat, one ol the Chinese Communist lead ers, assured me that there was no link with Moscow and that the Chinese Reds were mainly agrar ians who were interested in bet tering the state of the farmer. It may be significant that sources favoring Chiang's gov ernment say they believe the only way to unify the nation Is to eliminate the Communists by lorcc, and they think the gen erallssimo could do it in from three to six months. They go further and ligure he would start an offensive against the Chinese Reds if he weren't fear ful of the reaction of other coun tries, especially America, and the possiblity that Russia might sup port his enemies. Only Chaos in End Chungking observers are frank ly pessimistic about the chances of reconciliation between the Chi nese Communists and Chiang's government, the atmosphere of the ancient cify is heavy with gloom. And what would civil war bring to China? There is no conflict so terrible as civil strife. It would mean that the country's five hun dred millions would endure an agony far greater than anything tiiey experienced during the Jap anese invasion. It would ham string rehabilitation of the na tion's shattered economic struc ture. Chinas proud designation one of the "Big Four" would indeed be an empty phrase. it also might mean, as I see the picture, a further division of China. Unless Chiang could crush the Reds and they are powerful they likely would split off a huge territory in northern China and set up an independent state there. Indeed, in the long run such a division may be the only solution. Could this be a moment where the Big Three might use their influence to halt the strife?
