STANTON , y ' Attending a meeting of editors in Portland recently, we heard Cyrus Ching head of the U.S. conciliation and medi ation service, declare that "people of the United States are actuated by a fear complex." r, Until a comparatively few years ago, he pointed out, "we were an agricultural nation. People had their roots in : the soil. The soil was their security. Even though they might venture into other vocations, they knew they could always go buck to the soil. ' But now we have had several generations bred and ; reared in an industrial economy. They have no roots in security. They realize dependence upon industry with its history of employment fluctuation and economic instabil ity. Is in this fear, Ching says, that is leading to such issues as guaranteed annual wage, pensions, health insur- . ance and other labor demands which workmen feel will give them the security they now lack. He might well have added feather-bedding, make-work, apprenticeship limita- : tion and compulsory retirements. He pointed out that we ere in a period of rapid change and readjustment and issued a grave warning that "t h e freedoms we enjoy are not an inheritance. Each generation must pay its installment on freedom." Education Is Important Factor As we listened to the inspiring address by the huge, friendly 'conciliation. chief, we thought how well this analysis of Our troubled times fits into our educational picture. This is American Education week. Under the sponsor . ship of The National Education association, public atten tion is being focused on our school system. Our schools are undergoing change and readjustment ! just as is our economic psychology. A few years ago our schools concentrated on what we call fundamentals "the Three R's." . Typewriters and reproduction machines' were scarce. Records were written bj hand. Virtually all communica tions were hnnd written. Consequently writing and spelling were stressed. Penmanship was a tool essential to business , and social life. : .. Bonks, and magazines were few. It was not possible for each member of the family to curl up with a newspaper, a novel, a comic book or other printed publication. Nor was there- sufficient home illumination to permit individual readlpg.' So it was the custom for the family to gather while1 members took turns in reading the paper, a maga zine or a book aloud, concluding with a chapter from the Bible and family prayers. Consequently oral reading was ' an important subject. Purthermore, as students of the old McGuffey reader will recall, the subjects used for reading emphasized moral and spiritual values. Perhaps some of the same type of teaching and family worship today would reduce our rate of juvenile delinquency. Changes Bring New Methods Schools of a few years ago taught by rote and mem orization. Students learned dates of historical events, but seldom the underlying motives, reasons and circumstances surrounding those events. ' The student of today must be taught to live In a world governed by industry rather than agriculture. The tempo of modern living has been speeded by achievements in fields of il'umination, communication, printing, airplanes, radio, television, motor vehicles, mechanization, atomic reactions. Education must include vastly more subject matter than a few years ago. Furthermore, schools have been forced to assume educational responsibilities formerly exercised within the family circle, such as teaching daughters domes tic science, and sons the manual arts. The concept of education today is that a person may be well stuffed with information and yet be poorly educated. The effort is to teach the student to think; ai-alyze. It is the results of this program rath .'than the con cept where we might find room for criticism. We find too many products from today's schools who, classified as intellectuals, have been taught to think but not to think straight. Filled with ideologies and theories, they have lost sight of the practical. They nre visionary and idealistic rather than objective analysts. They are apt to , - accept rationalization for reasoning. Consequently we find in our school system altogether' too many intellectual "pinks" serving as instructors and too many graduates lacking what we call common horse sense. Educational leaders are aware of this weakness, but re adjustment and change has been too rapid to correct all the faults as they arise. The world is moving too fast, even in the field of education.

The speech read to parlia ment bv his Prime Minister as the king sat listening said the! world can see Egypt "Is resolved to recover her full rights and re deem her full sovereignly." The government, he added, Is determined "to proceed along the path it has outlined for itself with out hesitation or delay." The speech said that the British after Egypt's recent abrogation of the 1936 treaty -and the 1899 agreement between the two nations "chose a course of violence and sheer force" Instead of "a way of peace and recognition of reality." Britain has refused to recognize the one-sided scrapping of the treaties and replied to Egypt's act by rushing strong military re inforcements into the canal area. Before the address, the deputies and senators gave three cheers for "King Farouk, King of Egypt and the Sudan." Parliament gave Farouk that title when Egypt scrapped the 1899 agreement providing for joint Anglo-Egyptian rule of the rich cotton-growing Sudan. The speech itself referred to the Sudanese as "our people in the Sudan." Britialn has announced she will stay in the canal zone until Egypt agrees to some form of joint Mid dle East defense command. Egypt already has rejected such a pro posal until British troops clear out, Britain also has refused to leave the Sudan, contending that the Sudanese themselves should have the right to decide who shall rule them. The speech made no reference to the Middle East defense com mand. Ambassadors from the United States, Britain, Franch and Turkey , the four powers pro posing the command were among those who heard the speech.

Fulton Pir WASHINGTON Senator Robert A. Taft is convinced the administration's foreign policy as it emerges from the state department is a flop. He expresses this conviction in his b.iok, "A Foreign Policy for Americans," published by Doubledav and Company. i Taft is equally certain that the I is convinced there are enough men State department in particular ana the administration in general harm the traditions of liberty in me United States, as well as abroad. Instead of spending ourselves into bankruptcy trying to run the econ omy of Europe, the government should be waging a campaign to arouse in people everywhere the will to fight to regain their per sonal liberties, Taft says. The Ohio senator has lota of company when he accuses the State department of abandoning the principles of liberty and jus tice on which this nation was built. He asserts that the State depart ment has no regard for law and cites the Korean war and the es tablishment of an international army in Europe as two examples. There is nothing new in his claim that the administration is domin ated by the philosophy of econo mic planners who like nothing bet ter than to issue edicts for con trolling the life of Americans as well as foreigners, But he argues further that, unless restricted, our present foreign policy will lead to totalitarian government and event ually to war, Taft has a number of recent events in history as proof of what he asserts. It was not the free nations that forced us into World War Two, but instead the totali tarian governments of Japan, Ger many, Italy and Russia. Taft's assertions are in basic opposition to President Truman's current campaign to convince tne American people that only by more controls, higher taxation and greater secrecy in the government will there be prtice. It is Taft's argument that the administration is destroying liberty at home, thus enabling a few men to make the decisions that historically have been made by all Americans. He is certain that the decision be tween peace and war for this na tion, if current foreign and do mestic policies are followed, will be to go to war. The senator presents a positive program to counteract the drift towards war. Among the ideals he expresses is the bold proposal to infiltrate the Soviet Union and other Iron Curtain countries with exiles from those countries. Those counter-agents, if they believe in liberty, would serve as agitators against Soviet domination. Taft IMPORTED FROM SCOTLAND 1Y HONEYWOODJNC.

Taft as serts that any real battle against the Communist ideology in the world must begin at home. To help set Iron Curtain countries free we must first eliminate from the government all those who are directly or indirectly connected with the Communist organization in the U.S.A.. the senator says. And just to be sure there is no mistaking his ideas on the sub- tech he adds! "I have never seen any violation of constitutional rights in bringing to the people's attention the fact that a man's connection with any organization and propaganda which is clearly aainst the peo ple of the United States." All of this may give you some idea o the kind of president Taft would be if nominated and elected. It is certain that he would be a vastly different one from our pres ent White House occupant. Which is precisely why the senator from Ohio wrote the book. Hear Fulton Lewis Daily On KRNR, 4:00 P.M. And 9:15 P. M. Moscow Plays Up War Mimicry By Collier's MOSCOW (!P A recent is sue of Collier's magazine dealing with the aftermath of an imagi nary war with Russia is being widely quoted by the Moscow press to show Soviet readers that Amer ica plans to invade and destroy the U.S.S.R. The special Collier's issue drew fire from Soviet writer llya Ehr cnburg, writing in the Commu nist party organ Pravda, ind from Joseph Clark, New York Daily Worker correspondent, writing in the Literary Gazette. Both writers cited the fictitious material from Collier's as a sam ple of plans the Americans have for an occupied and dismembered U.S.S.R.

You don't see any little gardens run by one family. It's all big stuff, as big stuff goes in vegetable farming, ine uems tend to run away toward the hori zon, with the rows converging in the distance like the rails of a rail road track. In the main, it i cor poration farming. That isn't all eood. It makes lor a LOT of production and it makes fm- amort marketing, for corpora tion farming has to be efficient. I Stockholdera in corporation farms ' want dividends, and without effi ciency dividends won't be forth-1 coming. But it doesn't make for , general attractiveness, xou are; few beautiful homes. The tendency ; runs toward efficiently laid out, MANAGERS' residences on which not much money is spent for pure beauty. In fact, you don't see too many homes out in the fields them selves, as the workers are likely to . live in villages along the highway. We newspaper people don't think too much of that kind of arming, for it doesn't provide subscribers enough, and retail merchants in the towns don't think too highly of it, for it doesn't produce custom ers enough. I One has to admit, though, that it produces a lot of crops and markets them very smartly in deed. j So far,' I've been talking about efficiently diversified, smartly marketed truck and vegetable farming, which is what the Salinas valley is famous for. What I've been leading up to is this: In the background of every scene, from the far upper end of the vallev above King City clear down to the city of Salinas, ARE HERDS OF CATTLE. Beer came, in the main, annougn inere aic numerous dairy herds, cmeiiy hoi- steins. These cattle are fed out and fin ished off on the by-products of the valley's agriculture. When the beets are harvested, the cattle are turned in to glean the leavings from the harvesting macnines. iney gei fat and sleek in the process. They clean up the trimmings and leav ings from the lettuce and other vegetable fields. Nothing is al lowed to go to waste. Quite a lot of alfalfa is grown for rotation and this goes into the feeding of the cattle, along with the beet pulp and the scrap molasses from the sugar mills. Again I want to say: ALWAYS in the background in this prosper ous valley in this late fall season are herds of cattle being fattened out on the valley's crops. Where do these cattle coma from? They come from the vast range lands that surround the valley on three sides. Ever since the mission-founding padres came up from the south, bringing cattle with them, this part of California has been prime cattle range. From the early fall rains until late tae next spring these mils are cpvereo wuu a lush grow'-h of grass. There the cattle are grown. They are fateened down in the val ley. The result is a prosperous, well-balanced agricultural econ omy. We of southern Oregon have this same combination of vast range lands surrounding rich agricultural valleys. If we can finish-feed our cattle in large enough numbers, and add IF ONE REALLY KNEW!
