It ends (not always, but FRE QUENTLY) In outbursts p( unre strained hatred such as we are witnessing In Bolivia. THE. thing for us to remember is that down through the centuries dictatorships (In one form and another) have tended to arise WHENEVER the people be come too lazy, too Indifferent, too self-centered to face the responsi bilities o! governing themselves wisely and, welL . THERE Is another explosion in Jerusalem where "terror ists" bomb the King David hotel, In which British army headquar ters are located. The dispatches indicate some 50 deaths. Palestine Is an explosive spot because of a project to movo Jews, there from Europe where, because of man's intolerance to man, they are a headache. The idea of the powers that be In Europe is to move the Jews bod ily to Palestine, now heavily pop ulated, by Arabs. The Arabs resist the colonial (Ion of Palestine by Jews. The Jews (already desperate because of injustices in Europe) RESENT the unwillingness of tho Araos to receive them. Hence tho disorders that are making Palestine a powder keg. THE powers that bo In Europe (we, the British, the Frcncn, tho Russians, etc.) are unwilling to face the problem of absorption of the unwanted Jews AMONG lis. So. in effect, wo say: "Let's force them onto the Arabs in Palestine" (which is the ancestral home of the Jews). (If you are familiar with your Old Testament, you will recall that the Jews took Palestine FROM SOMEBODY ELSE.) THE curtain is rising on civil war In China. As usual, wo get no clear pic ture of what is happening. We have to Judge from CONFLICT ING PROPAGANDA claims. The communists say they have won a resounding victory In which they captured 12,0 00 government troops. Tho nationalists retort that after the battle they have already BURIED 20,000 COMMUNIST DEAD, and aren't through yet. -1 MME. SUN YAT-SEN, widow of China's revolutionary hero Iwhn seems bv some freak to have been unselfishly devoted to improvement of the lot of the Chinese PEOPLE) gives out a statement In Shanghai to the ef fect that REACTIONARIES In tho Nationalist (Chiang Kai Shek) government are fostering a civil war In the hope of bring ing the United States and Russia Into the struggle and thus crush ing Chinoso communism. She says we ought to GET OUT OF CHINA . . . that we should make loans only to a reorganized and truly representative Chinese government . . . that we should make It plain that wo will supply neither munitions nor military assistance to EITHER SIDE. PROBABLY the outcome of (hat policy would he that the com munists, with Russian assistance, would win. Still, it Is a little odd in' hear ANYBODY assert that rabllihtd Dall; America should stay out of ANY WHERE. THE world, you see, is In a mess. It is a pity, The principle of the Golden Rule, If honestly followed by everybody, would bring order and happiness out of the moss. It is doubtful if anything else WlM. ' ' " OH, WHAT By CHARLES V. STANTON Confusion, of the American people regarding need of price controls is understandable when we read conflicting reports in our daily newspapers. For instance:. The Republican Congressional Food Study Committee survey claimed to show that "in spite of propaganda about supposed runaway prices and isolated instances of down right profiteering, the actual cost of food to Washington, D. C, consumers was less on July 15, 1946 two weeks after the end of price control than it was on June 29 the last clay of OP A. , . The same day the Republican committee submitted its report, the White House released a statement prepared by the- Commerce Department assorting that prices have risen rapidly since OPA went out of existence despite efforts by price control foes "to keep prices at a minimum until OPA's fate finally is decided." The statement asserted that follow ing lapse of OPA controls the price spurt "boosted the Bureau of Labor Statistics index of daily spot market prices for 28 basic commodities 25 per cent during the first 14 days of July." All of which serves to remind us of the old saying that "figures don't lie but liars do figure." Here are two absolutely contradictory statements both issued the same day and in the same place and by two appar ently reliable sources. We can't believe both or can we? . The Republican committee lists 20 food commodities com monly used, by the average family. In tabulated columns it shows reductions in prices from, OPA ceilings. The Pepartment of Commerce roport does not list the 28 items it uses as a base for its statement. Everyone knows that prices on meat, butter, milk and some other commodi ties made a sharp rise due to the withdrawal of subsidies. There is nothing to indicate but that these items formed the basis for the "spurt in prices," claimed in the report. The Department of Commerce! following tho fright psy chology so common to administration agencies, points out that: "it is to the interest of those groups in the community who have been lobbying to end price controls to k.iep price increases at a minimum during the interim while the fate of OPA is decided by Congress." In other words : "Look out! If we don't get controls, prices are going out of sight!" Plainly the two contraditory statements arc pure propa- ganda. The Republican committee is out to discredit the j administration (a job which, too difficult). The Commerce is playing ball with the bureaucracy of which it is a part. Some other reports, however, do not make the press wires and are not printed in newspapers. These are confidential reports compiled by professional analysts, economists and others, and circulated to clientele composed of business inter ests. These reports are based upon information gathered from numerous sources. They are, insofar as it is possible for their originators to make them, unbiased and unpreju diced, They are used by businessmen as a guide upon which to conduct their operations. These analysts endeavor to pre dict the economic fiuure, based upon current trends. In recent reports they have been practically unanimous in calculating that prices would reach a maximum level at least 5 per cent, lower WITHOUT OPA than they woulld have done had regulations remained in effect. They also have been advancing their prospective date for reconversion, PROVIDING PRICE CONTROL IS ENDED. For our own part, we believe both sides of the propaganda battle. But each is reporting only facts favorable to his OWN sido. He is not reporting the whole truth. Compare these facts with those presented by professional and commercial reporters, and it becomes quito evident, we believe, that in stead of the bogey business man waiting around tho corner tp spring ouk with his inflationary jack-in-the-box the mo ment price controls definitely aro off, as the Commerce De partment would have us beliove, the business man is to bo credited with a sincerity of purpose which goes unrecognized iu government reports, and is actually working for and achieving better price control than was obtainable under the OPA or than can be obtained by tho patched-up dummy proposed to replace our fallen Humpty-Dumpty. Seals, Oaks Still Half Game Apart (Bv The Associated Press) Almost duplicate performances against lower division cluhs kept live Pacific Coast Baseball League's pair of pennant chasers in their 12-day-old clinch today, half a game apart.

' Warm Weather : Increases Crowds At Swim Beach With expectations of the South Umpqua river to be condemned to swimmers, plus the current warm weather, the Templin street beach is reported as at tracting larger crowds than ever before and swimming classes, taken uo Monday by the recrea tion department after the Red Cross school, are almost at their capacity in enrollment. Checking the number of swim mers daily, Lifeguard Jerrv Hug gins reported 20(i persons in the water and 20 on the beach at 3 P. M. Monday. The Recreation Department's swim school, instructed by Sunny Gray, reports the youngsters are now returning from various sum mer camps and, out-of-town trips, which explains the great increase in enrollment in the new swim classes. This school, she said, is being held with no designation of ages, but student swimmers are being put in classes according to their previous experience. The new classes are meeting at the following hours: 10 A. M., Junior life saving; 11 A. M in termediates; 12 A. M., beginners; 1 P. M. high beginners; 6 P. M., senior lite saving. Miss Gray urges parents to en roll their youngsters immediately in this week's classes as the river is expected to be condemned in the near future if the warm weather prevails. She added that several of the parents them selves as well as local merchants, have been turning out for the senior lire saving instruction at o f. in. eacn day.
