THERE will be a terrific outcry li. his country to the effect that the British are getting off cheap and we are paying the bill. On the fRce of It, it does look that way. Total lend-lease aid to Britain during the war was ap proximately 29 billion dollars. From that must be deducted RE VERSE lend-lease, or what Brit ain furnished to us. The differ' ence la lumped off In the settle ment at less than a billion dollars. That will make a nice case for the British-haters among us, who are numerous. THIS writer's advice is to keep an open mind throughout the discussion (much of it super heated) that will follow. Take all the circumstances Into considera tion. Draw your own conclusions. Don't take ANY opinions that are handed to you ready-made. REMEMBER this much; Lend-lease is a contract AL READY MADE. We went Into It voluntarily presumably with our eyes open. The settlement Just announced amounts to the CARRYING OUT on our part of that contract. THE principle of lend-lease was that each would contribute to a common cause (the winning of the war) ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY. Accepting this princi ple, we contributed more because we were ABLE to contribute more. It Is much like the accepted principle of taxation according to ability to pay. Under this princi ple, the big man pays more than the little man. In World War II we were the BIG man. So we pay more. REMEMBER this also: We financed World War I on the principle of loans to be repaid in full later. It didn't work. Practically none of the loans were repaid. So, you see. we will come out of this war (which was financed on lend-lease) at least as well as we came out of the other, which was financed on the principle of loans to he repaid In full. INCLUDED In the settlement is a pledge by the governments of Britain and the United States to work together In an effort to achieve worldwide expansion of trade and employment by reduc ing tariffs, cartels and other trade barriers. That sounds Idealistic and Im practical, but Is MUCH LESS SO than It sounds. After all, we can raise our standards of living ONLY by MORE PRODUCTION and MORE TRADE. Tariffs, car tels and all similar barriers tend to reduce trade, and ai trade and consumption are reduced PRODUCTION Is Inevitably re duced. It It only by producing more that we can have more to con sume. The sooner we can learn that fundamental lesion, the more we and our children and our grandchildirn can have. You can't consume (or divide) what ISN'T produced. Virol Statistics MARRIAGE LICENSE PAGH W ILSON- Mark lversnn Psrh and I'aisv Ruth Wilson, both of North Bend. DIVORCE COMPLAINT FOSTER Harlev C. vs Alia PROMOTING By Charles V. Stan toe For every three tourists who visit the state of Oregon, 100 go to California, Commander A. W. Scott reported in Roseburg Wednesday night while conducting ceremonies at the official dedication of the new Greyhound depot. Cali fornia's promotion of tourist travel is achieved by thorough organization, planning and advertising, plus the more im portant fact that every Californian is a walking encyclopedia of tourist information, Commander Scott explained. Oregon, said the noted world has a great advantage over California in natural resources attractive to tourists. California's scenic and recreational resources are largely artificial. Oregon, on the other hand, has unspoiled natural scenery, unexcelled fishing and hunt ing and other attractions which, properly exploited, should give the state a great advantage over California. The greatest handicap to development of Oregon's tourist industry, Commander Scott said, is the attitude of its people. Because of familiarity with Oregon's natural resources, resi dents fail to recognize their value in drawing tourists. Few people are able to give a tourist information concerning the interesting places to see, or to describe the various types of recreation or sports in which he nmy be interested. Commander Scott's indictment of Oregon's failure to ex ploit its recreational assets goes directly to the core of the situation. We are failing to obtain ultimate benefits from tourist travel because of negligence rather than Ignorance. Most of us have a hazy idea of places to go, things to see, sports to enjoy, but how many could give a questioning tourist actual and definite information? How many could outline an itinerary for a two-day trip, a week's vacation, or a month's Btay in Oregon, listing spots of scenic and historic interest, types of recreation available along the route, and the best travel route? An extensive program to correct this situation is now in process of development. Governor Earl Snell has taken the lead in tourist travel promotion, and is being effectively aided by a special committee of his appointment, together with cooperation from the Oregon Advertising Club and various other groups. One of the first endeavors under this program will be to educate Oregonians in methods ot salesmanship. If Oregon residents can be enthused with the promotional spirit, of the type manifest in California, there is virtually no limit to the tourist dollars which would flow into this state. We are inclined to the belief that California has an ad vantage over Oregon because of its winter sunshine; that we must confine our recreation to the summer season, and, therefore, are definitely limited, by season, in tourist pro motion. P.ut. what, do vou suppose. California would do if it had -Diamond lake within the boundaries of that state? Would Diamond lake be used only as a summer resort? It would not! With its gorgeous scenery, with its snowfall from Sep tember through May, with its facilities for, winter sports, Diamond lake would be an all-year resort, advertised in every corner of the nation, and would be the Mecca for thousands of outdoors worshippers the year round. Ore gon's Cascade region could be developed into a world's winter playground, and, while mid-Westerners went to Cali fornia to escape the winter cold, Culiforniuns would be pour ing into Oregon to enjoy w inter sports. No finer sport is to be found in the world than Oregon's winter steelhead fiching. The steelliead run is to be found in virtually every coastal stream. We have the gamcst fish, pound-for-pound, to be found anywhere a fish that can be taken almost as easily by the amateur as the expert. Are we advertising this wonderful sport to the world? We arc not! And what's more, we're permitting commercial fisher men to take, for a few cents per pound, fish that would bring dollars in revenue to the state if taken by sports fisher men. Commander Scott hit the nail on the head when he struck at our negligence in tourist promotion. It is a fault whiief can be corrected whenever we come to full realization of the values we are overlooking and determine to give our natural resources Jhe promotion they deserve. Sen. Cordon's Wildlife Bill Noted in Magaiine (Continued from Page 1) cost may frequently transform a reservoir area of low wildlife and fish productivity Into one of major productivity.

Lipscomb Loses Rough Mat Battle To Parks on Foul Wanton brutality as his oppo nent. Herb Parks, lay beaten and helpless on the mat cost Jack Lipscomb, alleged Junior light heavyweight champion of the Pacific Northwest, a decision In the headliner of the weekly wres tling fracas at the Roseburg Ar mory Friday night. After each man had taken a fall, Lipscomb stomped and kicked Parks into an all-in condition and Referee "Sneeze" Achiu awarded him the verdict. Not satisfied with the victory, Lipscomb continued to punish Parks with his feet until Achiu got control of the situation and, reversing his decision, raised the arm of the prostrate Parks as a token of victory while the crowd of 500 roared approval. Time of the round was 6 minutes. Parks won the first fall of the bout In 17 minutes with a hang man hold. In the second round he clamped the same hold on Lipscomb repeatedly and appar ently had the so-called champ on the way out. Lipscomb saved him self by grabbing the ropes, forc ing the referee to Intervene, and ultimately rallied to take the fall with a leg stomper In It minutes. Jackson Falls to Appear Bulldog Jackson, advertised to battle Aehiu In the semi-final, failed to put In appearance and his place was taken by Promoter Elton Owen, who gave the fans a nifty exhibition of the skill that made him a one-time champion. The match was clean and fast throughout, with Parks in the role of referee. Achiu, in top con dition as against Owen's lack of training, won the bout In two straight falls, the first with a body scissors, In 17 minutes, the second with a brace of shoulder butts and a toe hold, in 19 min utse. It was announced that Lip scomb would be pitted on the next card against Rufus Jones, the Detroit Negro, promising a battle of full satisfaction to those fans who prefer rough stuff. The card will be held on the regular date of Saturday. Last night's bill was preceded by a collection of money to buy Christmas gifts for disabled war veterans.

CHARLES A. EDWARDS 7amOeepyoTTwriieTTT)OU the number of people whom I know who, under unusual strain and tension seem on the verge of breaking. You have no right to "crack up." You do not need sympathy or com fort so much as you need strength. The word comfort comes from two words, con fortis, which means "with strength." I cannot find In the New Testament any promise that Christians will have an easier time than non Christians. It may be harder, because they are more sensi tive to suffering and wrong. Certainly Jesus did not have an easy time of it. It Is not fair to hold God responsible for fulfilling a promise that He never made. I cannot see any way out, but I can see my way through. We are not to try to make the best of It, but to make the most of it. "The pain God Is allowed to guide ends In a saving repentance." Recently I read this prayer: "Give me the patience to accept those things which 1 cannot change. The courage to change those things which can be changed and the wisdom to know the difference. Teach me O Lord, to distinguish be tween sentiment and senti mentality, admiring the one and despising the other." Amen.

LETTERS to the Editor WANTS TO KNOW VALUE OF AMERICAN DOLLAR Editor, News-Review: Please find someone who can answer this question: How much Is a dollar worth in gold? For example, In the years around 1880. the ratio for sold and silver was 16 ounces to one j ounce of gold. Later the ratio was changed to 20 dollars silver or paper dollars for one 20-dollar gold piece. Then when the New Deal Democrats came Into power they took the gold away from the people and raised the price of gold to $35 per ounce. I have been told the govern ment can Issue five SI bills for every SI In gold deposited In the Treasury. ' If this is true, the ratio would be 175 to 1. Taking $20 per ounce of gold leaves the gold content in a $1 bill Just 11.4 cents. Please tell me how much a dollar Is worth? CHARLES KYES, Roseburg, Ore.
