THE STRIKE WOULD BE CALL ED OFF BEFORE DARKNESS." e e THAT Bays about as plainly as words can put it that the people of Rome want to work, ; refrain from work only because they are afraid and HOPE that .something will happen to make 'It possible for them to go back to work. The mass Intelligence of the .people tells them that the only ' cure for what ails them is WORK AND PRODUCTION. They know instinctively, you see, that they can't have what isn't produced. They want food. They want cloth ing. They Want shelter from the storm. Wand-waving won't pro duce these things. Only by WORK can they be had. They want to work, and HOPE they will be allowed to work. But the communists order them snot to. a e IT Is a screwball program. But communism itself is a screwball program. In a world where men crave freedom as they never craved it before, commun ism brings back government by the few under the guise of "liberalism." It Is one of the great frauds of all history. e a a . k N officer of the American A Military Government In Ger . many unmasks communism this week In a broadcast address to - the German people. He says: "Communism is fascism In a coat of red paint. ... In Eastern . Europe, communists are beating - and terrorizing the people in a I manner typical of the worst ex cesses of fascism. "Behind the iron curtain in Eastern Euroie may be found case after case to demonstrate this point. Truckloads of com munist party thugs arrive sud '. denly at a peaceful meeting of ; democratic citizens. Clubs are brought out and men and women art beaten all In the manner - typical of the worst excesses ot ', fascism." ; He adds: '. "Communiam has NEVER ' come to power by a popular vote, . by democratic methods. It has j never won the majority In a fair competition of democratic polltl " cal parties. It can achieve doml- nance only by the Intrigues, and " machinations of power politics ' bloc tactics, Intimidation, bribery, ' force and the threat of force." a a a THOSE are blunl, truthful words.

REGISTER FOR ELECTION! By CHARLES V. STANTON The appeal for voters to register for the annexation elec tion to be held Dec. 26 is showing good results, according to County Clerk Roy Agce, who reports many new registra tions during the past few days. All persons who vote in the special annexation election must be registered. Due to the fact that precinct poll books do not conform to boundaries of the area proposed for annexation, the County Clerk will furnish precinct poll books carrying names of all registered voters of the various precincts and the judges of election boards, outside the city limits, will determine whether the voter the precinct seeking annexation. The registration requirement also prevails for voters re siding within the city, but coordination between precinct and ward boundaries eliminates any problem of further determi nation of eligibility. Anyone who desires to vote at the Dec. 26 election and who is not now registered, should secure registration at the office of the County Clerk without further delay. New comers are eligible to register for a period of six months and have lived for 30 days within the precinct. Any person desiring to vote either for or against the pro posed annexation should attend to the matter of registration immediately, as otherwise the right to vote will be denied. What's Right With the United States! Edward C. (Eddie) Sammons, president of the U. S. Na tional Bank of Portland, has the answer for those who find fault with our governmental and economic systems, and who lean toward some of the isms and left-wing theories creep ing into our thinking. Sammons said recently, as Review, published in Portland: Our country is the only nation in the history of the world that has continued with its Intrinsic, basic type of government since Its beginning 170 years ago. In those 170 years our per cent of the world's population produced 25 per cent of the world's goods and possesses SO per cent of the world's wealth. In no other country is there such op portunity as here. Too many people are saying what Is wrong with Amer ica. Instead we should be saying what is right with the United States. Why ahould capital be on trial here? Why ehould not eocialiem or communism Instead be on trial, when our people are asked to provide the money and the food and tools for other nationa to carry on? In my time we have defended our country three times from outside Invaders, but we are not defending It sufficient ly from within. The working men here Is able to live almost as a king compared with those In other countries. Other systems promise; our people have. The Industrial News-Hevkw a fundamental truth. The American people should shout from the housetops their faith in a system that has given them unprecedented tangible benefits and, infinitely more important, the intangibles that make for a life of freedom. We read that a new gadget radio station how many sets within its range are turned to any of its programs at any given time. It will not be perfect, however, until it gives a Uronx cheer whenever a listener turns off a singing commercial or horse opera. LETTERS lo the Edilor Opposes Intermingling Of White, Black Races I'd like to give my opinion for what it is worth on this "un American activity which is shock Ingly prevalent throughout thi ll. S. against minority groups, particularly Negroes, quoting from Miss Bo won in a former paper. First, I am not a Negro hater or persecutor, but 1 certainly do not believe in mixing with them. I fall to see the advantage In sending our children to a school where there ate 50 per cent Ne- firoes, as In some places In Port and. Oh, unless, of course, you have such utmost love tor the Negroes "on wouldn't mind a black In law. Perhaps your grand children might even turn out to be white, hut pity their children. And you can't say normal young people won't full in love v. lien thrown together. The Negroes have not progren ed so very far from the primitive state. I don't care how much you educate them: their primitive in tinrts and emotions will burst forth. And what have you? some of the most terrible rases o( cold blooded murder and rape known. Don't get the idea I'm one of those superior Individuals who thinks I'm bettor than anyone else. No one is a darn hit better than anyone else. But is that any sign we have to live with, eat with and mix with Negroes? (iive them an Inch and they'll take a mile. IVople In the South know them for what they are and treat them accordingly. No. I'm not a Southerner, lm from Idaho. MRS. TAVL CIBBY. Rosehurg. Oit.

Pee -i.T --A parachute which "blows Its top" under stress has been deel oped by the Navy as a means for airplane pilots to ball out safely at V0 miles an hour, the Naval Aviation News announces.

Lumber Output On West Coast Upped To Meet Demands SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 12 JPt Saws of more than 3,000 mills in the West Coast woods are screeching off record lumber production in California and near records in Oregon and Washing ton. Billions upon billions of board feet of fir, pine, redwood, spruce and other woods are being turn ed out to fill the spiraling de mands of the building and con struction industries. This area produces more than a third of the nation's lumber. From it will roll around 13,000, 000,000 board feet of lumber this year. The total was nearly 12.500,000,000 in 1946. In Oregon and Washington the outlook is for production of around 7,400,000,000 board feet of fir alone, about 100,000,000 ahead of 1946 and the best since the top year of 1926. Production of pine In the two states is expected to be 5 to 7 per cent ahead of 1946 and may set a record. State totals are not yet available. The western pine region 12 states is exrjected to hit a new peak of 6,500,000,000 board feet, however. An estimated 1.961 mills, are operating in the fir and pine regions of Oregon and Washing ton. Many of the Oregon mills were forced to close periodically or to operate reduced shifts in the late summer when lumber stacked up because of car short ages. Otherwise new production highs might have been establish ed this year. Despite neavy production in the three states, ample timber stands and re seeding programs assure virtually perpetual cutting. The west coast lumberman's association at Portland estimated conservatively that there are about 4dO,ox),u),uuu board leet oi fir still standing in Oregon and 000,000 of pine.
