(Continued from pagr IV
and continuing concern for the
lot oi the common man, and they
want to be Iricnds with us."
!
DR. COMPTON, new head oi
Washington State college, oi
lers a pregnant thought. He says:
"Our nation will not lind the
answers to peace-time problems
il we see in atomic energy only
a threat of annihilation; we
WILL find them If we see in It
the promise of a more abundant
life."
WE are standing at a moment
ous crossroad In human his
tory. We can go on to undreamed
of heights of progress and
happiness.
OR we can go down into the
abyss of utter and complete ruin.
It Is for us to make the choice.
THE decision (whatever It is to
be) will lie not so much in the
realm of science as in that
of HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.
Science can be a power for cither
good or evil depending on how
It Is used by HUMAN BEINGS.
BUT enough of moralizing. Let's
get back to present realities.
A spokesman for Chiang Kai
Shek says that Chungking troops
will soon begin a mass movement
Into Manchuria In TRANSPORT
PLANES turned over to Chung
king China BY THE UNITED
STATES. (There Is an Interesting
and perhaps fateful suggestion
In the news that these planes are
to be flown by AMERICAN
CREWS.)
It looks very much as If we
have decided to back Chungking
to wipe out the Chinese Com
munists. From their bitter and
angry attitude, we can guess that
these Communists regard us al
ready as an enemy.
IT Is practically unthinkable that
we would move In against the
Chinese Communists In the face
of certain Russian opposition to
such a course UNLESS our
leaders have decided that the
time Is here for a showdown with
Russia.
ALONG that line. Admiral King
tells congress that demoblllza
tion has proceeded with such a
rush that the Navy is NOT NOW
PREPARED to light a MAJOR
BATTLE if called upon to do so.
If that Is true, we are playing
a DANGEROUSLY UNWISE
game again as we did alter the
last war.
If America is to have any
weight at all In the world of the
future, it must stay strong.
THERE is a new development in
France.
De Gaulle, unanimously chosen
interim president by the New
French constituent assembly, re
signs the next day when he fails
to "compromise differences" with
the French communist party. The
communists, the dispatches re
IKirt, had set as their price for
participation In a coalition gov
ernment the appointment of a
communist as one of the "big
three" ministers I foreign affairs,
Interior or war).
There Is a later dispatch to the
effect that FRANTIC negotia
tions to prevent Ie Gaulle's resig
nation are undVr way In Paris.
Who is doing the frantic negotiat
ing isn't staled In the dispatch.
The communists are the strong
est of three parties represented
In the new French constituent as
sembly, but are outnumbered by
the other two. It Is obvious that
they are making a play for all the
power they can act.
LET US THANK GOD
By CherUi
We will pause as a nation
Thanksgiving holiday. The day has become by tradition
one of feasting, family reunion, entertainment. Churches
throughout the land will be open to preserve the original
intent and purpose of the observance, but too few of us will
turn our minds from the pleasures before us to give devout
thanks to God for manifold blessings which have come
upon us.
Yet, while we may not kneel in reverent gratitude, we
as a people are deeply thankful for many things. We are
thankful that a terrible war has been ended, that our
sons and daughters are returning, that mankind has turned
its eyes toward permanent
may now be obscured while danger of continued war, be
cause of human error, still hovers above us. We are thank
ful that we live in a land of abundance; a land not rav
aged by war's desolation; a land where little children are
sturdy and strong, instead of deformed by malnutrition,
and mentally ill from horrors of bombings and scenes of
death and destruction. As we
upon thousands of people throughout war-torn lands will
be dying from starvation. Our thanks that we have not
met similar fate may be translated into active demonstra
tion if we will give of our
save lives threatened by famine.
While we feast, rejoice and find entertainment, we do
so in the midst of a world dark with danger. Perhaps, as
we look back to the original Thanksgiving day, we will
find a great deal of similarity.
The Pilgrims had survived perilous times. Of the 100
persons who had set out on the Mayflower, only 50 re
mained. Peace had been established with surrounding
Indian tribes. Crops had been bountiful for the first time.
Twenty acres of corn had been harvested, although wheat,
barley and peas from England's seed had yielded only small
crops.
But for that first Thanksgiving feast hunters brought
in enough game to .last the entire colony for a week, while
Indians, who joined the celebration, added five deer to
the menu.
The Pilgrims knew full well that many difficulties were
to face them in succeeding years, but they had passed a
milestone in their colonization effort. They had the will
to succeed. They had food, shelter, peace and had estab
lished a new industry the beaver trade. Their first
thought was to thank God for these achievements.
We, too, have abundant food in a world of famine. We,
too, mourn our dead. We, too, are thankful for peace.
We, too, rejoice in prospects of a new prosperity a vast
field of industry that has grown almost miraculously in
the years since those first colonists began trading beaver
pelts with the homeland.
But we, too, know that difficult problems are ahead. The
great weapon of our salvation, the atomic bomb, poses a
threat to all mankind, unless the new-found energy be
devoted to ways of peace rather than to the cause of war.
We face new wars unless forces of greed and selfishness
are subjugated to the universal demand for harmonious
international relationship.
The world is full of power politics, isolationism, national
ism, imperialism ail threats to freedom and to peace. We
can well take heed of the words of Acting Governor Howard
C. Belton, who in his Thanksgiving day proclamation says:
"Let us do homage to God in our homes and churches.
Let us honor our country by the display of our flag. Let
us resolve ourselves to the peaceful tasks of rebuilding
and reconstruction.'

News-Review Reedsport Correspondent
It isn't everyone who can criticize the editorial staff of the
World Almanac and get away with telling them they are in error
concerning some specific date, because that publication is supposed
to be final authority and many wagers have been settled by Its
statistics.
The one exception we know
has performed the feat of prov
ing the World Almanac in error
is a humble Douglas county-
born Oregonlan, a farmer and
dairyman who uses his spare
time to keep posted on national
and world events and who has
an uncanny memory for dates'
ana places.
This person is Alured Walker,
56, who lives on the farm his
father acquired on Scofield river.

1876. There he has resided con

times listed for the Custer mas
sacre and the Chicago fire.
He wrote the "editor of the

One of the outstanding charac
teristics of the Jap.ir.ese and
German war lords, as is bring
brought out In the Pearl Harbor

discovery of secret Nazi records,
is their cold blooded duplicity.
There was (and Is) no honesty

callous trickery which Hitler,
Gut-ring and other Nazi leaders'
used in annexing Utile Austria,
while they kept the rest of Eu
rope quiet with double-talk. We
see It in 11)0 Jap treachery at
Washington.
Every day emphasizes the ne
cessity of removing these war
mongers from society. It's grati
fying, therefore, to see the Nuorn
berg trials of top Nazis opening

factory laud forgive me if I'm

rial as a war criminal ajnng
with numerous other militarists
whom General Mat-Arthur has or
acred imprisoned pending their
appearance before the allied

Far be it from us to gloat over
llonjo's suicide. As a matter of
