when TOO MUCH POWER is
placed in ONE set ol hands.
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.

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.

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.

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.
