Laborlte Bevin, backed by La bor ite Attlee, has been as tough with Russia as Tory Churchill ever was. Perhaps even' tougher. LETS keep clear In our minds what Churchill ACTUALLY SAID. He spoke of a "fraternal association" of the English-speaking peoples not a military al liance. A fraternal association, he said, "requires not only growing friendship between our two vast but kindred' systems of society, but the continuance of the Inti mate relationship between our military advisers, leading to com mon study of potential dangers, similarity of weapons and man uals of Instruction and inter change of officers and cadets at colleges." That, of course, embodies all the practical principles of an al liance, but does it INFORMAL LY. It leaves us free to pull out any time we don't like the way things arc going. That isn't a bad way to start ark all-Important experiment. Sec whether It works before going off the deep end. That is the way most business men work. i AVTEIt all, It may be taken for , granted by this time that we and the British peoples are going to work together. We've been do lus It. in spite of all the Jeal ousies and the suspicions that He between us. Twice we Americans have gone to wir, when we fer vently desired to stay out of war, in order to save the British from defeat. That can mean only a PEEP, UNDERLYING feeling of sym pathy and kinship as to ideals and purposes. Such a feeling goes deeper than mere governmental aurccmcnts, and transcends mere alliances. .What Churchill proosod amounts to no mure than INTEL LIGENT organizing of the sym- nalhetlc co-oiieiallon we have been practicing Instinctively. THIS Is something to remember: Whether we like it or not, two systems communism and free dom of the Individual NOW FACE EACH OTHER throughout the world. Russia shows no signs oi abandoning her communistic set-up. If we are going lo 'protect our system of freedom' of the Indi vidual, of which we and the Brit ish are the chief upholders, we'd letter STAY STRONG. The way to slay strong is to work together Intelligently. ' SOMETHING else to remember: Only moral regerenatlon of mankind can bring PERMAN ENT peace. but at 1,B8t lonR P' rlods of temporary P1"1 can 1)0 brought about by those who have the power. Rome, when she had the power, enforced the Pax Romana (pence of Rome). Brit ain, when she had the power, en forced the Pax Hrlltanlca (peace ' of Britain. Temporary peace ' M,Fr '""J NO peace. If we and the British peoples work together to IIOl-D THE lfiWER, we cm rnlnivc another PAX - which, because we are reasonably deront and toler nt, will be far better for man kind than what will follow If we tay divided and weak. DON'T kls oil this proposal for Intelligent oo-opcrauon be tween Britain and Amarlca with out erlou thought. . By CHARLES, V. STANTON - - . During 1945 a total of 52 industrial, business, and pro fessional ventures opened in Roseburg an average of one per week. Evidence of accelerated tempo is found in the fact that during the first 10 weeks of 1916 new enterprises totalling 28 have been established in Roseburg an average of 2.8 per week. In addition to new businesses there have been six changes in ownership in business classifications since the first of the year. Nearly every established merchant in this area reports almost daily opportunities to dispose of his business at a large profit margin. The only reason more changes in own ership have not taken place is that our merchants like Rose burg and want to stay in business here. As rapidly as quarters can be provided, many new commercial enterprises will be established. Industry is only awaiting a break in the housing situation before beginning a construction program which will supply at least 1,000 new jobs. We have frequently referred to the fact that many resi dents are not aware of the transformation occurring in this area. It is difficult to transform cold statistics into the excitement of boom conditions. But the figures on Rose burg's expansion in these first 10 weeks of the current year should be convincing evidence that a real period of expansion in this area has not even begun to reach its peak. A few persons in Roseburg apparently harbor anti-Semitic prejudices and professedly are perturbed by the number of Jewish firms represented in Roseburg's new business estab lishments. Race prejudice has no place in our community, where we need every shoulder behind the wheels of progress. If Roseburg residents will look back into local history they will discover that this community owes much of its early development to families of Jewish extraction. The names Wollenberg, Carty Abraham, Marks, and many others of like character, are indelibly written into Roseburg's pioneer record. Without the contributions of those highly respected families, Roseburg's progress would have been greatly re tarded. Future history, we are sure, will record just as im portant contributions from the many new Jewish firms and families who have lately become a part of our community. If any further evidence of Roseburg's bright future were needed it would be found in the fact that so many Jewish firms are establishing themselves here. Men of the Hebrew race are known for business astuteness. They do not com monly invest funds in localities lacking a promising future. Their increasing interest in this area is, we believe, our surest proof that predictions of extensive expansion have been conservative rather than radical. Some individuals engaged in the merchandising field are Expressing fears that the community may get too mueji new business and that many failures may result when general conditions of supply and demand become more normal. We may be certain competition will become extremely keen. Doubtless there will be failures. These failures will be con fined largely to those firms which cannot keep up with the competitive pace. There are, however, numerous factors to be considered in determining Roseburg's capacity for business growth. First and foremost is the fact that our population has in creased more than 50 per cent during the war years and that there is every assurance of continued growth at an even faster pace than at present. This condition of growth affords ample room for many new firms. Secondly, we must consider the amount of money spent out of town. A Rose burg merchant, discussing this factor, declared that the amount' of money spent by Roseburg people shopping in Eugene and Portland would more than support a business larger than any now in the city. The reason people go out of town to buy merchandise tan very largely be accredited to failure to obtain either the desired goods or adequate service locally. There are, of course, exceptions to this broad statement, but in general it is not reasonable that shoppers would travel long distances to buy goods if they could obtain equal selection, quality, price, and service at home. This, then, comes back to the matter of competition and merchandising methods upon which future survival will be determined. Canada Grants Britain Loan of $1,250,000,000 OTTAWA.
