Creation Of Indonesian Republic Reverses Statesman's Assertion By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press fortlgn Affaire Analyst "The day of small nations has passed away; the day of empires has come." You may have three guesses as to when that declaration was made, and by whom. Give up? Well, the famous British states. man Joseph Chamberlain made that statement in 1904 during a speech at Birmingham, England. That was only 45 years ago. lasi ween me uutcn signed away their sovereignty to the rich Dutch East Indies over which Holland had rulled for three cen turies. These brightest jewels in the imperial crown now comprise the United States of Indonesia a republic The 70,000,000 natives of these bounteous islands of spices and sugar and rubber and oil are taking over management of their own birthright. Thus has the Netherlands fol lowed the footsteps of Chamber lain's England, which rapidly has una Color $" jjir Thf wort "Colorlw" It tn4-marfc. 9 TP fer fluid pinl rolorsnL . . 4Hct it's more fun to know that the colors will GOl Now horn decorating it the) exciting fun you've always wanted it to be , . . now you can dream up any color scheme and find Colorizer paints to match.

The Dutch move gives us further indisput able proof that we must reverse Chamberlain's statement and note that "the day of empires has passed away; the day of small na tions has come." The historic agreement between the Dutch and the Indonesians was signed at the Hague. Under that pact, which is subject to ap proval of the Dutch and Indone sian parliaments, the new repub lic becomes a sovereign part ot the Dutch commonwealth which is linked together by the crown. The union is similar to the Brit ish commonwealth. One Disappointment On one important nolnt the In- donesians were disappointed. They had wanted to include the Dutch portion of the' great island of New Guinea in the renublic. The Dutch opposed the transfer and finally the matter was com promised on tne basis tnat nol- One-Man PATDfTt PDfDtNO CHAIN SAW Save your mujcks.

PEETZ Phone 279 920 S. Stephens land should retain control of the New Guinea territory for another year, pending further discussions as to its ultimate disposition. The eastern part of New Guinea Is of course occupied by. Australia. New Guinea is the world's third largest island, so huge that it is almost big enough to be entitled to the designation of continent. However, it is such an inhospit able land that at first glance one wonders why anybody should claim it. The island Is a wild area, much of which is covered with the world's most horrifying Jungle. This jungle is a hell-hole, filed with more forms of evil death than a madman could conjure up. So why the yearning for this territory by both Indonesia and the Dutch? Well, it seems that nature played a rick on mankind. She concealed great wealth in the earth of New Guenia minerals and oil and then set some of her most evil forces to guard the treasure. New Guinea already is known to hold great riches, and portions of it stiU remain to be explored. Moreover the big island is strategically important.

Rex Mays, Noted Speed King, Dies En Racing Crash DEL MAR, Calif., Nov. 7 UB Death struck Rex Mays, one of the great automobile speed kings, in a flash of roaring steel here yesterday. His death on the. 13th lap of a 100-mile big-car American Auto mobile association race brought sorrow to the auto racing world. He was roaring around the south turn of the one-mile track, second to Jim Davies of Los An geles, when something went wrong. The nearest to official accounts (a deputy sheriff's report) was that Mays' car collided with one driven by Johnny Parsons of Los Angeles. He was thrown from the speed ing machine as it turned over and over and crashed through the In field rail. The 22,000 spectators saw his body hurled onto the middle of the track and then-flung up again as another car hit it. A second car was believed to have struck him. After the track was cleared, the race went on with Davies winning in one hour, 10 minutes, 17.41 seconds. Eleven of the 17 starters finished. Mays was the AAA National Champion in 1940-41 and holder of a numbgr of track records. He raced 12 times In the 500-mile Indianapolis classic. Beaver Bathe As Deer Dam Ditch Many reports of wildlife dam age are received and investigat ed by employees of the Oregon State Game commission, but two recent complaints from Grant county have the commission's district agent- wondering. From Ritter Hot Springs came a re port that the beaver in the area were not only cutting fruit trees but were trailing down to the hot springs and taking baths in the hot water tubs which had been constructed for human use. The same mail brought a com plaint of the reported activities of deer damming up an irriga tion ditch. The district agent is wondering if this could be some cooperative agreement whereby the deer were taking over the normal work of the beaver while the lat ter took the cure for rheumatism, without payment of fee, no doubt.
