The point is 7thls: ' .' In all controversies with Rus fsla, communists throughout the world are INVARIABLY pro-Rus- slaii which suggests quite strongly that they take their or d( rs from Moscow. If that Is true, the communist party Is every where an Instrument of Russian policy. ... THIS writer Is historically hope ful of Russia. History teaches us that newly liberated peoples are inclined to be CONQUEST mlnded. That was true of France after the French revolution. It was true of US ulter OUR revolu tion. But the lesson of history is equally clear that (Maples who have gone through a genuinely democratic revolution SETTLE DOWN after their earlier splurges of conquest and there Sftcr are more Interested in rais ing their standards of living than In conquering all the lands that Join them. That was true of the Prench and it was true of us. It Is reasonable to HOPE that It will be true of Russia. STILL, we must look at the world, Including Russia, with realistic eyes. In Russia today, some 180 mil lion people are Roverned abso lutely by some four or five mil lion members of the communist party WHO GET ALL THE GRAVY. It could be true that It Is the purpose of the communist party to keep Russia FIGHTING the rest of the world In order to PREVENT the common run of Russians from finding out how much belter off (In the way of standards of livlngl the peoples of the democratically governed countries are. Living stitnilmcls In Russia are low, and history suggests plainly that people who ate kept busy fighting foreign foes have little time left to think of such things as material comforts. It suggests also tltat those who sit In the seats of power seldom want to relinquish the privileges that go along with jkiwit. There If so far no reason to believe that Russia's communist party rulers arc exceptions to this general rule. . . SO WHILE we may be and should be HOPEFUL of Rus tilt we shall be abysmally foolish If we shut our eyes to all the dis luibtng possibilities and blindly trust that despotically governed Russia Is going to be Rood be cause being good is the way to be happy. ... ON THE home front. NYLONS enter the lists as a political Issue. Memlers of congress re port floods of mall from bsre lerged, flghtlng mad women who arc threatening to campaign against them if they don't IK) SOMETHING. , So they put (TA (Civilian Pro -" (taction Administrator) Small on - the pan and fiy nut ot bun a promise to produce 4SD million palm of nylons by this lall. r ... HERE'S a lip to the disgruntled: Get after your congressman If you don't like what Is going on. If you can SCARE him badly enough. he'U sUi't something yigM NOW. POLITICAL SLAVES Labor leaders in the First Congressional district are re ported to be "gunningr" for Congressman Walter Norblad, recently elected to succeed the late James V. Mott. Norblad was givert labor's endorsement when he sought election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Congressman Mott. Now he is accused of "stabbing labor in the back," because he voted for the Case bill, a measure claimed by labor to be restrictive and inimical to the labor cause. Organized labor has adopted a program of political action designed to purge congressmen whose votes do not please labor loaders. Action frequently is taken on the congress man's vote on a single issue, rather than considering his record as a whole. Do we as a nation of democratic people propose that our leaders shall be driven as slaves under the whiplash of pres sure groups? Are we to assume that we send representa tives to Congress to vote not their own minds but the minds of selfish cliques, which would place their own advantages before national interest? True, we have been drifting rapidly toward a state in which pressure groups hold increasing imiortance in national legislation. Our congressmen are in danger of becoming political groundhogs, afraid of every shadow; poking out their noses to test the voting strength in the wind which blows with each controversial issue. We need and seek a strong government to meet the trying problems which lie ahead. But how can we expect strength in either legislative or executive departments when our congressmen must face organized persecution if they follow the dictates of judgment and conscience, while our executive branch bases its appointments upon ability of appointees to bring money into the war chest rather than upon quali fications for efficient service in the respective posts for which they are proposed? We realize it is shouting into the whirlwind to appeal to pressure groups and political action committees to relent their attitude and permit legislation and control based upon common rather than factional welfare an opportunity. Hut the subject is one upon which the average citizen should be pondering. Our present methods will serve to eliminate from office competent and able men, qualified to exercise common sense and discretion in legislation, while we replace them with servile opportunists pledged to hold class advantage above common good. We would not for one instant deny to any group or to any individual the right to present his case fairly and in detail, backed with sound logic, in an attempt to influence legislation or executive action. We believe efficient democ racy demands differences of opinion, argument, and even stormy debate. But we do not can be maintained when leaders must live in constant fear of their political lives if they fail to bend their minds and backs to the crack of a whip in the hands of masters Svho seek unlimited license at the sacrifice of general public good. Egg Shipments From Midwest Cut West Coast Prices Continued Increases In egg pro duction and additional carlo! ship ments from the midwest resulted In price declines of 3 to 4 cents at most Pacific Coast markets during (he week ending Febru ary u, according to the Weekly Egg and Poultrv Review prepared by the OSC extension service from U.SDA market reports and other data. All markets reported supplies In exeesH of curent de mand. Dealers were forced to move some eggs Into storage, hut for the most part they wen1 in clined to delay storage operations until prices approach the seasonal low in ceilings which occur ra dur ing the first week of March. At Portland Grade A large eggs sold to retailers February t at 1213 cenls. Medium were to 40 cenls and smalls .'Hi cenls. These were all 3 mils less than a year ago. Shipments continued to arrive from the midwest where prices are 5 to ti ccids less than here on the Pacific Coast. For the most part these were a poorer quality product than the commercially produced eggs of the Pacific Coast, hot they still exerted a weakening Influence on coast markets. U. S.

Oregon Growers Planning to Slash Output of Turkeys (in January 1, turkey rrowers of Oregon expressed lutein ions to raise 17 per cent less lurkevs during IIHII than were produced in 1:11.1. nils years turkev crop is now Indicated at Xlta.lHM) hirds. well under the record crop raised In l:i.", totaling 2.lior,n0 hints. Actual performance later In the season frequently shows a con siderable change' from early sea son intentions, the Department of Agriculture reported. The number of breeder hens In Oregon January 1, l!lt(i, total .lOii.iKS), ;t per cent more than a year ago and 21 per cent alxivo the January 1, 1344, total of ;12(). 000 breeder hens. There has been a substantial increase in the mini tier of breeder hens kept on Ore gon farms in recent years. In I'.Ml the number was estimated at only Ut.KOO head, one-third of the January 1, isMS. number. Oregon Is one of the leading states In the nation In the pro duction of turkey eggs and poults for early shipment to other stales and' also ranks fourth among all stales ill the number of turkeys raised. Like Other States The situation found in Oregon of increased holdings of hrecder liens and prosvclie reduction in 1! in production of tuikrvs Is similar to that shown lor Wash ington and California.

Not neces sarily. You may oe surpnsea to learn lhat the CIO Automobile Work ers have never asked that each workers rate be raised 30 per cent. In fact, CIO unions seldom de mand a blanket percentage in crease. They say that when the same percentage of increase is ap plied to each worker, the neediest people get the smallest raises. t or example, suppose a ceriain percentage is given to everybody in a plant. Tom Smith, common laborer making relatively low watres. gets a much smaller In crease than Jim Brown, skilled workman operating a complicated machine. And the wage gap be tween Smith and Brown grows wider. That's why the CIO Steelwork- ers Union asked for a flat amount of raise for every worker 125 cents an hour; later reduced to lHi cents). How It Works Then what about the Auto Workers' demand of 30 per cent? Here's the explanation: The Auto Union decided to ask each company for a 30 per cent Increase in Its wages taken as a whole. That is, it would demand a solid chunk of money amount ine to 30 per cent of the com pany's straight-time wage payroll. This 30 per cent chunk would be divided In an Interesting way. Part of It would be used for an Insurance program sick pay, death benefits, etc. for all the workers. Part of it would be used to eliminate wage Inequalities within each company. The union ar?ues that people doing the same work for the samecompany should get the same pay, even 11 they work in different sections of the country. Divided Up The remainder of the 30 per cent would be split up equally among all the workers. Thus Tom Smith and Jim Brown would get the same dollar and cents raise. In the case of General Motors, the union once estimated that this would give each worker a raise of about 25 cents an hour. That is, all General Motors wage-earners would get about 25 cents an hour, plus insurance benefits. And some of the wage- earners would receive larger raises, 11 meir c aisiuik pojrv lower than that of someone else Hnine the same work. Thus it is not a blanket increase of 30 per cent. It Is really an aver uif ruise of 30 nor cent. ; If there were a worker hose pay accidentally happened to be me average wuuv 101 u.- uon- il's true he would get a 30 per cent increase. But all other workers would get either Jess or more than 30 per cent. In the General Motors case, the President's fact-finding board rec ommended a general Increase of 1!4 cents an hour an average r-,k of ahout 171 Dor cent. The board deliberately ducked the question of an insurance program and the elimination of inequali ties, leaving those matters to the union ' and the corporation to work out. Some for Insurance The union accepted the pro posal. The corporalion refused it. If both parties had accepted, would this have meant that every General Motors worker would have gotten a raise of 191 cents an hour? Not necessarily. A union siwkesman says the union no doubt would have ex pected lo use part of the 19i cents for the Insurance program and (he elimination of inequalities. The union and corporation would have had to srtlle this by collective bargaining. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System 1490 Kilocycle. REMAINING MOIRS TOOAT 4 tt fali.n Lew la. Jr..
