The attendance in dicated much community interest in state and national af fairs, as well as the current political situation. The two men ho aptly honored by the Drain community are highly deserving of public commendation. In these davs of Dolitkal v"andstaiulers, socialist opportunists, self- starters, fellow travelers and demogogues, men w ho follow i policies of statesmanship are uot as plentiful as they should b". Governor McKay is not a sensational governor. He is not a publicity seeker. Ho is not attempting to dictate state policies. Instead, lie strives to serve as a competent exec utive in mai'aginjf the state's business. The fact that he is so self-effacing, while the state's business progresses so smoothly, efficiently and economically, is his best recom mendation AbiliU for efficient business management, not showmansh'p, is th. most important qualification for the of fice of governor, t hus McKay has demonstrated his com petency, wli'lc his opponent, w ho promises all things to all people who with his cohorts complicated the last legis lative sess on by partisan politics, adding heavy expenses hv unnecessarily prolonging the session has nothing other than showmanship and Socialist leanings to recommend his candidacy. Ellsworth Plugs For District Like McKay, Kllsworth has not attempted to lie spec tacular while serving as representative from Oregon's Fourth concressii'iial district. Vet few men have worked more diligently for the country's welfare. Naturally, we are somewhat at a disadvantage in ex-1 tolling Kllsworth's irtues. We worked with and for him over a long period of years while he was editor of this newspaper He still retains a fininacial interest in the paper, although he has had no voire in management or policies since going to Congress. We would feel no more hesitancy in puhlii Iv criticizing Kllsworth than any other! person if we felt criticism to be justified. Vet, because of, our association with Kllsworth we obviously are open to charges of prejudice. In fact, we admit prejudice, a favor-! able prejudice, based on our intimate acquaintanceship. We think we know Kllsworth as well as it is possible for one man to know another. We therefore know his ronvic-l tions, his honesty, his sincerity, his patriotism. We don't always agree with him, but so long as he remains sincere and honest, he holes our esteem. Do Not Need Rubber Stamp Kllsworth' opponent at the forthcoming election, of fers himself to the public as a self-pledged rubber stamp an administration yes-man. If elected he would be required to take mi oath of office in which he would swear to uphold the Constitution of the t'nited Stations. Vet he rnmpaigns on a platform of disregarding constitutional checks and balances by submitting himself as a stooge fo the executive branch of government. His long reccid of service to the left-wing faction is good indication that if elected he would conform to the Sorialist pattern His campaign, in which he advocates CVA and ther S-cblist ideologies, and promises his full support to the administration, should, in our opinion, dis qualify him for consideration. He dc.hrcs that because he would be an administration stooge he could obtain more "pork barrel'' appropriations. We doubt that. Hut. admitting his claim might be true, he is deliberately holdinjj out, a bribe a bribe to be paid w ith our own nvnoy. A vote in his favor on that premise would express willingness t'i accept a bribe. Conscientious Voting Needed In these troublesome times we need conscientious vot ing. Vntcri should weigh carefullv the qualifications of each candidate "trd each measure. Do we want j es-men in office? Do we want show men ? Knr the office ol governor of Oreiron and for the office of representative from Oregon's Fourth district we have men who. as incumbents, have proven their worth. They have served ably, sincerely. As their opponent!' we have candidates seeking election on pledges of enn'ormity to socialistic policies, promising anything they thi.ik might gain votes, even though their promises do not square with past performance. Oregon voters should think seriously on thoe matters as they prepare to cast their ballots at the forthcoming election. National Defense (9pti"im. Pessimism Traits Of G.O.P.

It was only when we began to de PM't from the original simplicity of our foreign polity that we began to get into trouble. The war with Spain was our first The trouble wilh us. as I see it, is that since we abandoned isola tionism we've never had a fnreiun I ' . , , 1 1 111- vtrtl Wltll Ollfllll VJfl 1,111 IIIM policy that the masses of our pro-' ,f parU,re. it led us inio an expert- ,..r u,m, ,m,hhi nruevea in ana m.nt ,n imperialism." This ex-1 were willing to fight for. penment in imperialism led us1 away from our basic foreign policy It was different when our 1.1 principle that all we wanted was original colonies took the steps that to be let alone. We got farther, led to I he Revolutionary war. We ?wny from that original basic prin-' knew then what we wanted. We c.nle in World War 1 We eot still warned K A I R TRADK RKl-A-TIONS wilh Kngland. 1 That was the foreign policy we I were interested in. We were tired j of sending all our raw materials j to the moiher country, having them I processed there and shipped hack to us as finished goods to he sold to us at HU,H PRICKS. We wanted .' to do that for ourselves. I We wanted it so much that we ; ttere willm to FIGHT FOR IT. farther away from it in World War II. We're getting STI1.I, FARTIIF.R AWAY now. I'm not proposing that we go hack to isolalionsim. (I'd like to, but if is no longer possible. We're a big girl now, and we have to act as big girls act.)

WAN'TK D TO RK I, FT AI.ONK Willi. F, WK DFVFI.OI'KO OCR R(; COCNTRY AM) PKR FFCTKD OCR WAY OF I, IF. In those days, the Monroe Doc trine was practically our sole for eign policy. The Monroe Doctrine said to other nations: "KKKP OCT OF OCR YARD. We want to fix tip our yard 1o suit ourselves. Not only that, but we're going to. If you can get over into our yard, we'll throw you out by force." That, in substance, was our for eign policy, ll was simple We be I'rxed in it. We were willing to ficht for il because we helivccd it to be essential to our national wel- seling to us Ihe idea of buiding f.'re. up adequate military force understandable and intelligent the Monroe Doctrine. When we do that, our people will no longer be confused, upset and uncertain as they are now. They will do will ingly w hatever is necessary to CPHOI.D our foreign policy he cause they will know what it is they are upholding. So I'd suggest to Mr. Acheson fhat he devote himself to working out a foreign policy that will he simple enough for people to un derstand and wise enough and practical enough for them to he willing to FIGHT FOR.

There is no limit to the demands made upon it. There also is no I'mit to the effort it will go to meet those demands. Rut it can never meet them all. It is one of the most cussed and discussed commodoties of the times. It would be less cussed if its critics could keep in mind Ihe fact that a newspaper does not make news. It reports it, reflects it, sometimes interprets it, but it does not make news. To the question, "is there cen snrship," the answer definitely is "no." To the question, "is there at tempted censorship," the answer is "yes." Road blocks constantly are be ing placed in the path of getting news. Federal agencies and boards, some of them, particularly have tried lo perpetuate the no comment" or "off the record" ap proach which grew up during the war. Some other agencies, federal and slate, resent giving out news.) And there are always a few would-: he kings in lowly places who sitl on their self-styled thrones and im ply that it's none of the taxpayers' business what they or their offices do. That isn't censorship as such. Rut it makes more difficult the newspaper's job of giving the pub lie what it has a right to know Csu.illy it does the would-be cen sors far more harm than good, too. Your own newspaper wants to be of greatest possible service to its siibseriher friends. to its city, to the area it serves. If and when it falls short, it wants to know about it. It doesn't expect kind words because it gets so few- although Ihere are much-appreciated excep- tions Rut if Hnns nnno H A m nr. led Statei j can public will realize that a free i press is truly, distinctly and all- - i bul -exclusively American. !
