Yugoslav ships appears to be
technically true. As a part of our
general program in Eastern Eu
rope, we have been trying to keep
Russia from getting COMPLETE
control of shipping on the Dan
ube, which is the heart of the
Balkans transportation system,
So we have been hanging onto a
considerable number of Danube
river boats which we captured
while the shooting war was on.
1 WASHINGTON dispatch says:
A "Diplomats here see In Tito's
quick submission to the U. S. ul
timatum a sign that the nations
in the Russian sphere of influ
once have decided against fore
ing AT LEAST NOW a major
showdown that might shake if
not wreck the machinery for
preserving peace."
'
THE big point Involved is that
for the present while wo
have a store of atom bombs all
ready for use, and nobody else
has time Is on Russia's side and
AGAINST us.
That Is to say, every DELAY
lerves Russia's purposo but
works against our side.
IESIDES, tho Dardanelles Is
sue (in comparison to which
Yugoslavia is a mere speck of
dust) is casting its menacing
shadow Increasingly over Euro
pean events. .
W have declared against ex
clusive Russian control of these
straits. Naturally, before forcing
a showdown, Russia will want to
sec if she can bluff us diplomati
cally on tho Dardanelles ques
tion. Keep clear in your mind that
EVERYTHING that is done in
Europe and Asia Is a MOVE ON
THE CHESSBOARD, to be Judg
ed not on its OWN merit but In
connection with its part In the
whole dangerous international
power game that is now being
played out.
WHAT Is the game?
Well, the impression is grow
ing that TWO SYSTEMS one
communist, the other free enter
prise are hardening into shape.
The communist system will be
led by Russia, the free enterprise
system by the United States and
Britain, with the United States
the NUMBER ONE leader.
BOTH are Jockeying for posi
tion and power in the rivalry that
will ensue when the lines are fin
ally drawn and sot.
That Is pure guesswork, but
events tend to support it.
IN China, what is described as a
"last chance" compromise plan
is put out by Chiang. Under this
plan, all disputed areas would be
put under American trusteeship,
pending a final settlement with
the communists. A Chiang
"source" says that under his plan
Americans would be authorized to
run these areas without restric
tion, while ultimately free elec
tions would determine whether
Chiang or the communists would
take them over.
The communists are extremely
suspicious of the scheme. One of
their "spokesmen" says he thinks
personally the communist com
mand will hesitate to accept it
on the ground that all communist-occupied
areas might be
classed as "disputed."
In the past few days, both Chi
nese factions have been accusing
each other ot using, or planning
to use, poison gas in the civil war
that is being fought behind the
screen of secrecy and censorship.

on the Job in China, doing
what he can to keep the smulder-
By CHARLES V. STANTON
In a recent editorial entitled "Need for Salmon Escape
ment," appearing in The Oregoniun, Portland, the writer
lauds Columbia river commercial fishermen for their ac
ceptance, without protest, of a decision by the Oregon Fish
Commission and Washington Department of Fisheries, deny-
lntr reauest for n three-rlmr ovf-onmnn fk. r-it ;u;,.
J 7- I - - j ban.uuii11 fj. uic iau xmuiiig
-r-s? season. Because of extremely lie-ht catches fishermen had
asked for three more days, but voluntarily made the proviso
that they did not want the extra time if biological studies
indicated the additional period would result in an escape
ment too small to insure subsequent migrations.
In its closing paragraph The Oreyonian editorial said :
There is perhaps an element of opinion among anglers
which holds that the commercial fishery and its delegated
representatives are without scruple in their approach to
the problems of conservation. One hears a great deal of
loose talk. The Oregonian suggests that sportsmen, from
whose ranks the critioism of commercial interests largely
is recruited, pattern their own code and conduot after the
example of tho commercial salmon fishery in this instance.
It is sound oonservation, and it seems to be sound sports
manship, too.
It is our opinion that the theme of The Oregonian's closing
paragraph will be heard with many variations during the
next few months.
Fish packers, who conducted one of the most disgraceful
smear" campaigns ever known in Oregon, in connection
with the 1942 "Steelhead Bill," are preparing a more subtle
approach to their campaign against Bill 378, the Coastal
Streams bill passed by the last legislature, and referred to
the people at the November election upon petitions circu
lated by commercial fishing interests. They are paving
the way to demand that if restrictions are to be placed upon
commercial fishing, then 'angling, too, must be limited.
On the Umpqua river, for instance, studies conducted
jointly by the Fish Commission and Game Commission have
forced1 commercial fishermen to read the handwriting on
the wall, insofar as the spring Chinook salmon are con
cerned. The count bears out the contention, so long ad
vanced by conservationists, that the river has been almost
entirely depleted of this species of fish.
Now the demand is being advanced that if nets are forced
out of the river, tho Chinooks also should be protected from
anglers.
In a little more than 25 years sportsmen have seen their
bag limit cut from an unlimited number of fish to 15. In
some waters the limit is even less. Many once prolific fish
ing waters have been closed entirely, particularly tributary
streams. Instead of complaining about restrictions, sports
men, in many instances, have sponsored these conservation
measures. Contrary to the implication contained in The
Oregonian editorial writer's sly little "dig," the rank and
file of sportsmen's organizations has been actively promot-
ng conservation, even at the expense of their own recrea
tion. - - . .
The necessity of imposing continually tightening restric-
ttoiitrupon angling was created by the insatiable greed of
the commercial interests in fishing our streams to the point
of extinction. Are we now to accept without remonstrance
the theory that the sports angler must pay for the damage
done by commercial fishermen?
As to the stand taken by Columbia river fishermen, we
join with The Oregonian's editorial writer in commendation.
But the Columbia river fishermen not the packers are the
best conservationists in Oregon ; their future livelihood de
pends on saving the Columbia river salmon, and they are
fighting the packers as vigorously as are the sportsmen.
Bill Puustinen, business representative, for the Columbia
river fishermen, is one of the state's best informed and most
enthusiastic and hard working conservationists.
To group the Columbia river fishermen with the packing
nterests, as the "commercial fishery and its delegated rep
resentatives," is a reference to which we cannot but take
exception. The interests of the fishermen and the sports
men are identical to save our fish from extinction. The
packers have no interest other than profits and have vigor
ously opposed any and every conservation effort. Their
now tune, "Make the Sportsmen Pay," to which The Ore-
youiau's writer has given voice, albeit inadvertently, is one
we expect to hear with increasing frequency until after the
November election.

Our stake In China USED TO
BE a free Chinese people, lib
erated from the shackles of tra
dition and oppression, with whom
we can trade to our mutual ad
vantage. Our stake NOW seems to bo to
prevent communism from spread

Truman's Budget
Slash Stirs Ire
Of Demo Leaders
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23,-tP)
President Truman, who already
has crossed verbal swords with
Republicans over his budget re
vision, today faced a major row
wn some oi nis own party lead
ers over the same issue.
The Democrats are aroused by
a $300,000,000 slash they contend
he- ordered in expenditures for
flood control and rivers and har-
oors project for the fiscal years
1947 and 1948.
Four key party members in
congress issued a statement term
ing the presidential action "with
out either constitutional or statu
tory authority . . . and in de
fiance of the will ot congress."
They described it further as
"an assumption- of unwarranted
and drastic power" and issued
a call for a national protest meet
ing in. New Orleans September
The four are: Senate President
McKellar (D., Tenn.); Acting
Chairman Overton (D., La.) of
the Senate Commerce Commit
tee; Chairman Mansfield (D.,
Texas) of the House Rivers and
Harbors Committee; and Chair
man Whittington (D., Miss.) of
tne nouse .f lood control Committee.
Overton, who made public the
statement by the four, told a re
porter that "the nation is arous
ed" by the cutback and said "we
are receiving protests from all
over tne country."
Republicans Join In
The aroused Democrats Invited
Republican members of their
committees to join them in the
protest meeting.
Several Republicans have
taken issue with Mr. Truman
since he announced his revision
of the budget earlier this month
in an effort to bring it into bal
ance either this fiscal year or
next.
R Ohio) issed a statement con
tending the new presidential esti
mates were "misleading either
through the use of imagination
or ingannation."
Later Senator Bridges (R N.
H.) also criticized the nresi.
dentlal program, terming it a
"boom and bust' 'plan. He com
mented that the federal budget
needs "a sharp presidential knife,
other nation, Including Russia and
her satellites, live up to their ob
ligations," Sen. Wayne Morse
said.
Sen. Guy Cordon and Rep.
Homer Angel! concurred in citing
foreign affairs as he United
States' major current issue.
There is no room- for partisan
ship in their solution," both said,
i Morse said he would fly to Eu
rope within two months to study
problems personally.
Ail three congressmen told a
group c( 800 that the close unity
of Oregon's congressional delega
tion had astounded senators and
representatives from other states.
