It developed that in Turkey we proposed only to furnish military aid and advice. We and the Turks have never been particular buddies. "The unspeakable Turk" has been a by-word with us, for generations. It was obvious that no heat could be generated among American taxpayers by a program of feed ing and succoring the Turks. Be sides, the Turks, not having fought in the late war, are better fed than the average in that gen eral area. But giving them arms, ammu nition and military advice to enable them to STAND OFF RUSSIA, if need be, made sense. And so it developed, a little at a time, that the Truman Doctrine of helping deserving little na tions was really a program to stop communism before it got too big to handle. OF course all Informed, think ing people saw at once that the 'Truman Doctrine" was real ly a move to stop Russia before it was too late. Intelligent news papers presented it in its true light. But all this was private initia tive, acting upon guesswork or deduction. Our government stay ed as mum as an oyster, or at best spoke in parables. Never did it come out into the open and say flatly and authoritatively what- the Truman Doctrine was all about and what It was design ed to accomplish. A ND so It Is with this new pro gram of helping the peoples of Western Europe to help them Tlves with us agreeing to foot the bill if they do their part. It is really an admorable program. The world is so far gone in hope lessness, hunger and dejection thai unless we conje to the rescue fincc we are the only people capable of Intelligent altruism on .itich a scale) this speck of dust in the solar system that we call Oic Earth could slip back into the Dark Ages. Relatively spcak iiig, -the shock of two great wars fuming so close together has been ok destructive of human stability its was the break up of the Roman iMnplte. After the fall of the (toman empire, there was NO BODY to save the world. Now Qierc is only America. " Besides, this new program of ura. does put t hp spotlight on Oussla's profession that hers are Hie only pure motives in the florid. If we go through with What we have in mind, Russia Uiust cither help or hinder. We'll soon know which she is doing. It Kussia hinders such a pro gram, we can be quite certain in Qui' minds that she plans to com munizc the world (If possible) and expects to promote chaos and hunger and hopelessness as the kind of soil in which communism grows. ' That knowledge will be worth something. - ... IT would be far bet lor if our government told us all these things frankly, instead of leaving lis to guess at them. Diplomatic tradition is one reason it doesn't. Diplomacy is a caul inns and devious business. One of its first principles is that the less said the soonest mended, professional diplomats believe -implicitly and traditionally that such tilings are beyond the under standing of common people. - Then there is the fact that the '.program might backfire. In that yvent, it would be nice for the diplomats to have a screen of "general lack of understanding of what it was all about to retire bcijljid. , .. ., ... ... ADVERTISING RACKETS By CHARLES V. STANTON Roseburg retail business firms are being saved a con siderable sum of money Commerce investigation of advertising solicitors. Solicitors, before canvassiDg the business district, are required to obtain credentials from the retail trade department of the Chamber of Commerce. A secret committee passes on each application. Thus rackets are weeded from legitimate projects. Applications for credentials, according to Harold J. Hick erson, secretary-manager, average about three per day. They have increased tremendously since the war, ,a large part of the increase coming from alleged "veterans" sources. In dealing with applicants claiming to represent veterans' organizations, a committee composed of representatives of local veterans groups investigates legitimacy of the program for which advertising is sought. Solicitors claiming to represent labor organizations have their applications checked by representatives of local unions. The majority of applications, Hickerson says, are found to be pure "rackets," offering no value to anyone subscrib ing for advertising space and amounting, in fact to dona tions or contributions. Roseburg business firms, according to the secretary, are giving splendid cooperation, and few will even grant an interview to a solicitor not accredited by. the Chamber of Commerce. Because of this service, business houses are saved much time, which otherwise would be spent in listening to solici tors and determining the worth of the program presented. The advertising "racket" is an old one, and offers an easy way to raise money. Almost any man in uniform, claiming to be seeking advertising copy for a veterans' publication, -can pick up a few dollars from business firm cannot well afford to risk the ill will of a vet erans' group or a labor union by failing to cooperate in a worthwhile project, and he has no way of determining whether the solicitor is a bonafide representative of a legiti mate organization, except as investigation is made by a central agency, such as the Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, or other department of like nature. The Chamber of Commerce, Hickerson reports, endeavors to give full cooperation to any local organization which has a worthy appeal for financial assistance. All high school annual solicitations for instance are given immediate ap proval, as are activities by religious, fraternal, labor or veteran groups'. The itinerant solicitor, however, is subjected to thorough investigation. He is required to fill out a prepared form. stating his connections. A thorough check then is made to ascertain that his claims are called to determine whether to sell has merit, either in producing sales or in improving public relations. The fact that this Inquiry very large number of itinerants, Hickerson reports, for as soon as they learn they are to be made subjects of investi gation, they immediately move on to less exacting fields of operation. Second Mongolian Raid Hits North China Territory NANKING, June 10. - - (.IX - I'he government-controlled Cen tral News Agency reported lo ony, witnout continuation by any other source, thai Mongolian "Bandits" Intel carried out a puni tive raid In China proicr In the second "mongolian Incident of recent weeks.

Congress Approves Wool Duty Boost WASHINGTON. June W.-iiPi -- Senate approval sent to the White House yesterday administration-opposed legislation per mitting higher wool tariffs or re strictions on imports. The vote for the measure was 18 to .IS. Hackers say the measure is designed to protect the American wool market against low prices resulting from imports of foreign wool. Administration leaders, includ ing Secretary of State Marshall, have argued that the policv it lavs down will undermine United Stales efforts at the Geneva trade conference to lower world tariff barriers. The House, which wrote the controversial tariff provision into the bill, approved it earlier this week by a voice vote. Just before the Senate vote, Senauir Taft ili.-Ohioi, told his colleagues that objections to it are "utterly unfounded." "The bill won't interfere at all with our fnrcifii trade program," he shouted. The bill continues through lfl-18 and requires the government to support wool prices at the level now being paid. Russia Fails to Block Trieste Governor Issue LAKE SlUVF.SS. June 20. (.T) The I'nited Nations Security Council today overrode a Russian attempt to block immediate con sideration of a governor for Trieste. The vole was ! to 1. with France abstaining. Russia was alone in opposing the Hritish pro. posal to take the Trieste gover norship out of the hands of the Hig Four powers and placing it on the council's agenda. Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Groinyko objected strenuously to the British proposal. He contend ed the council could not discuss the selection of a governor for the new internationalized terri tory until the Italian peace treaty was ratified by all the big powers concerned. ... v " . . .

Contracts on 0-C Lands Extended by New Regulation PORTLAND, Ore., June 20. Timber operators who purchase Oregon & California timber will not have to worry about re-appraisals and consequent increas ed prices above their original contract for two years after pur chase under a new plan approv ed by Washington, D. C. offices of the Department of Interior. Walter Horning, regional ad ministrator here for the bureau of land management, requested the change following disapproval of current reappraisals by sev eral operators, the reappraisals being provided in former con tracts.

Soviet Envoy Raps WarMongering CHICAGO, June 20. - Ti -Soviet Ambassador Novikov yes day declared Russia and "the United States can live together peacefully despite their differing economic systems. l:i an address before a meet ing of the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship, No vikov vigorously criticized "pow erful groups" who. he said, con tend that war between the two countries is inevitable. "If our countries were able to cooperate during the war. there is no ground for saying that they cannot also cooperate during peace, he said. "There is no ground whatsoever for saying I hat I his cnnperaiin:i wuold be prevented by the differences in their economic systems." The Soviet ambassador said his country has never believed that it cannot live side by side with the United States because of dif ferent governments and econom ic set-ups.

June .'W.- .V - Ar thur Bax. press secretary of the Labor party, said yesterday the British government was thinking seriously of ways to juuk the llouso of Lords as a hereditary law making body.

They would include clergymen, doctors, scientists, ar tists and "other major national interests," the article said. They would be powerless to delay leg islation, but able to revise pro posed laws and guard against er rors in them. War Alternative To Firm Policy, Publisher Says PORTLAND, Ore., June 20. JP Americans had a warning from a Denver publisher today that they must settle on a strong loreign policy quickly or face the possibility of war and "complete extinction." Palmer Hoyt, editor and pub lisher of the Denver Post, told tho Northwest Institute of Inter national Relations last night that "solution of the problem of peace admits of no delay . . . already It is clear that we have squander ed a great deal of time." He advocated immediate strengthening of the armed forces and expansion of the Tru man doctrine, including govern ment aid in foreign countries for U. S. news services and publica tions "to combat tho false propa ganda of totalitarian. " "The supreme cynicism of the Russians in finding Fascist plots wherever they desire to occupy a country is frighteningly reminis cent of the ability of Mr. Hitler to find plots against the Germans in all ihe countries he sought to enter," Hoyt asserted. "We must insist that Russia keep Its signed war agreements," lie continued. "Wo can no longer look upon their violation in any spirit of forgiving. We must say to Russia-and mean it "thus far and no farther.' " Wider Doctrine Urged To broaden the Truman doc trine, Hoyt urged ten points: To give aid to "threatened coun tries who wish to preserve their freedom;" to strengthen the arm ed forces and keep the atom bomb secret: to refuse aid to any coun try "which withholds knowledge of what it does with American money and goods"; to support the United Nations "with or without Russia"; To support a government infor mation service overseas: to aid U. S. news services "in spreading their networks of objective news, American style, throughout the world"; to work for press free dom in all countries; To recognize the principles of reciprocal trade "as sound and basic for international harmony"; to adopt the Atlantic Charter and four freedoms as a basic part of foreign policy and to ins'st that Russia abide by signed agree ments.
