REPUBLICAN By Charles Manv people are sincerely ity of recession should there The Socialist-Democrats are Let Them Take It Away." They make use of scare propa ganda, as they have been doing for 20 years since the Great Depression made such propaganda possible. Will the Republicans, if put in power, be able to sustain the present high level of prosperity? Would we preserve inflation? Would we continue present high levels of employment? Let's examine these questions with which many people are seriously concerned. First, let's take a look at the Great Depression. Herbert Hoover has been the target of Socialist-Democratic propa ganda for 20 years. Yet we would have suffered that de pression regardless of anv administrative effort. The econo my of the entire world was in ver saw what was coming and tried to put our national house in order, but money-mad people failed to heed the hand writing on the wall. It is claimed by many economists that Hoover's program for recovery would have brought the nation out of the depression far earlier and at less cost than the extravagant, wasteful, artificial plan which has placed a mortgage on many generations to come. Tha Theory Of Scarcity The New Deal recovery program was based on a theory of scarcity. , To boost prices, we lowered production. We took care of widespread unemployment through publie works, includ ing' a vast amount of boondoggling. We paid the cost by de ficit spending, incurring debt far beyond the comprehen sion of most people. . Having formed the habit of deficit spending, we have permitted it to continue even in times of inflation and artificial prosperity. We have not been permitted to forget the fright born of the depression. We continue practicing the theory of scar city. Whenever a product reaches the point that volume would lower the price, we immediately have strikes. By this means surpluses can be absorbed and inflated prices main tained.' The production level is thus kept in balance with inflation. Farm production is kept within bounds by payments to farmers for crops they do not grow; by government pur chases of surpluses and their subsequent destruction. What Price Prosperity? Whether it was deliberately planned, or resulted from colossal stupidity, Is open to question, but tho Korean fiasco was ready-made for the progrnm of scarcity. By permit ting the "police action" to drag, instead of forcing it to a conclusion, we have an excuse to crowd our military camps with men; men who otherwise would be in competition on the labor market. No one can rightfully object, we believe, to our resis tance to communism in Korea. We can, however, check up as either gross stupidity or virtually treasonable scheming the withdrawal of our troops from South Korea, the an nouncement thnt we would not defend Formosa, the lack of aid to Nationalist China, etc. Have we, in Korea, adoptej the British system of holding actions as a means of solving unemployment at home? Will the Republican party, if placed in power, strive to continue prosperity mid inflation under exisiting policies? We do not believe it will. We cannot believe the Ameri can people want prosperity and inflation at the price we are paying. We cannot believe that the American people, if they will face facts squarely, want fat paychecks if they must be signed with the blood of brave fighting men. We cannot believe thnt the American people are willing to sacri fice their sons to the Moloch of war,, simply to keep the un employment rate lowtat home. ' We cannot believe that the American people truly approve theories of scarcity and fear. We believe it is possible to maintain a sound prosperity and reduced inflation without practicing scarcity. We be lieve we can have a sound economy, an adequate defense and high level production without war, threats of war or continued war scares. But if it comes to a choice between recession or pur chasing our prosperity at the cost of lives, scarcity and fear, we'll take the recession. FromAhi -at JrL . J fr- S -TX! Last summer EJ and I hoped to have a look at Hell's Canym, but didn't get there. However, wo have just been enjoying a really wonderful picture of it, or of one point in the 40-mile atrctch of the snake Canyon an named, in the October HOLIDAY, a 13x13 inch picture in colors. Wonderful! The text is from the tireless pen of Richard Nouberger. Says he: "Few Americans have heard of Hell's Canyon; fewer still have seen it. . .It is the greatest gash in the North American continent." He quotes the U. S. geological Sur vey as saying Hell's Canyon "ex ceeds in depth and narrowness the Grand Canyon of the Colorado." The Neubcrgcr article gives di rec -Tons for reaching the point, but I shall quote from Frank C. Bee son's letter of August 9, '52. He Is the manager of the Union Coun ty Chamber of Commerce, and re plied to my inquiry about the road conditions.

Dwight D. Eisenhower for with drawing U.S. troops from Korea prior to the outbreak of war are pathetic, Even the great military expert, Secretary of Stale Dean Acheson, who apparently learned his strat egy at Harvard University law school, has joined the chorus of blame against the general. I await the final word from Gen. Harry Vaughan, the president's military advisor, whose combat scars in clude a wrenched back from un loading deep freezes for Whits House personnel. Eisenhower and the joint cik's of staff of which he was chair man, w'ero dealing with facts when the decision was made to con centrate Pacific defenses in Ja pan, Okinawa and other discs. The facts were simple: The President and the U. S. State Department had already handed over control of the Chinese mainland to '.he Communists -at Yalia and Potsdam. The joint chieis of staff, including' Eisen hower, could not reverse that de cision, although every military man living has wished a thousand limes since th.it that decision could have been reversed. Nobody at :he Pentagon could overrule the White House and Acheson on the decision to hand to Russia islands and ports on the perimeter of Japan.

The miliary was ousted not on the advice of Eisenhower, th Navy or the Air Force, but on orders from Acheson and the President. Just to keep the record straight, now that President Truman is whistle-stopping his phony argu- mpnli acrncc Ihn .nnnlrv t Secretary of Slate Dean Acheson who ruled that the "dust must set tle in China" before adequate U.S. aid could bo sent there. This was in the face of demands by Lt. Gen. Albert Wedemcyer, who was on the scene, for more support for Chiang Kai-shek. Sincere foreign service officials and military troop leaders in Korea pleaded with the State De partment for more concrelo sup port or the South Koreans, even up to the day the Communists at tacked. But Owen Lattimore. the Balimore bugle who plays the notes for Acheson's diplomatic dancing, ruled that Somh Korea must fall, "but it must not look like we pushed her." Gov. Stevenson is at the fojt stamping stage over what he terms "Eisenhower distortions" of U. S. foreign policy, including the de bacle in Korea. He seems to think that anybody who regrets the thousands of dead there, is inca Potsdam, nor the mission of Gen George C. Marshall in China when he attempted to persuade Con gress to equip ind train 10 Chinese Communist divisions as a "peace" move in China. At the worst. Eisenhower can he accused of not anticipating the Korean war. If Stevenson. Tr i man and Acheson want to set themselves up as having done so. In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) who sulks in his tent when things don't go his way. But I certainly can't agree with your Vancouver statement that SO per cent of all state of Washington farmers OWN their land (instead of having it mortgaged up to the hilt) SOLELY as a result of Demo cratic party farm policies. I think it betrays a SHALLOWNESS in your thinking that is not creditabi to you as a leader. You ignore completely the fact that we have just come out of the most destructive war in the history of the world. During this war, the econojnies of the countries that formerly were our competitors were destroyed. Let's put it this way: Suppose a drastic drouth de stroyed the crops of EVERY STATE IN THE UNION but Ore gon. People have to eat. If food were available nowhere else save in Oregon, there would be a huge demand for Oregon's crops. In such a case, tha law of supply and de mand would result in HIGH PRICES for Oregon's crops. Until the balance that was upset by the calamity of drouth was finally restored, Oregon would be "pros perous." That would tin about regard less of what political party was in power. And this temporary, arti ficially stimulated, prosperity would come to an end whenever the conditions that caused it came to an end. That, also, regardless of what political party was in power. This too would happen: During this period of high level (even if TEMPORARY) prosper ity, most Oregon farmers (probably 90 per cent of them) would get their mortgages paid off and their machinery aad other equipment paid for and would be pretty well off. REGARDLESS of what political party was in power. I know, senator, your party feels that it HAS to hold the farm vote in order to win the election this year. I think it is generally con ceded that if you lose all, or even the bulk, of the farm states, you'll come out in the small end of the horn. Hence vour partv's sudden and EFFUSIVE affection for the farmer. But I think you ought to stick to facts. And I'm SURE the conditions resulting from war (including the wiping out of our competition from abroad and the creation of un precedented demand from abroad for our "goods, including FOOD) have been vastly more effective in creating the farm prosperity of the past decade than the policies of the Democratic party. Let's be realistic about these things. There will come a time when we will HAVE to be realistic about them. man on the Korean peninsula. A number of State Department for eign service officers also sent in repeated warnings to the State De partment. None of them ever reached Eisenhower's desk. In fact he wasn't even around the Pentagon at the time, or the While House, or the State Department. Only Acheson, Truman and Mat shall were there. And we all know what they did. They dumped the load on Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's shoulders and then fired him for carrying it successfully. Since Mr. Truman thinks whistle stopping is such fun maybe it would enliven things if somebody would ask him, at each stop, about Yalta. Potsdam and the Marshall mission. I'd like to hear his ex planation, and I'm convinced th rest of you would, too. Hear Fulton Leans Daily On KRSR, 9:15 P.M. Writer Wants To Know Why Papers Republican ROSEBURO Just read Mr. B. Ames' letter which, of course, hat a great deal of truth in it especially in regard to the two newspapers in each community. It also prompts me to ask why have so many newspapers all over the country "turned" Republican? Editors are, as a whole, the most educated, best informed and broad-minded people in the coun try. They have access to all the facts and must be extremely ef ficient in weighing these facts. And if all their knowledge and contact with politicians, educa tors and others induces the large majority of editors to change or to remain Repubican, it seems to me there is something drastically wrong with the Democrats, their policies, etc. ' So many extremely smart and well-educated men wouldn't be Re publican, if ihe Democrat leaders were of a higher grade paitv in stead of the corrupt, extravagant liars that they . are.

Denmark Bases For NATO Units Roil Russians MOSCOW in Russia has ac cused Denmark of negotiating with the United States to set up NATO bases for foreign troops on Danish territory. Such bases, a firmly-worded Rus sian note declared, would create a "threat to the security of the So viet Union." The formal Russian protest, pub lished Thursday in all Moscow newspapers and delivered Wednes day to the Danish minister here, said establishment of such bases would violate Danish-Soviet agree ments reached since the end of World War II. "The Soviet government puts upon the Danish government all responsibility for possibe conse quences of such a policy," the Rus sian note declared. The protest followed close on Soviet press attacks on the recent eight-nation NATO "Mambroce naval maneuvers around Norway and Denmark, both Atlantic Pact members. Russian newspapers had de scribed the war games, which in cluded a landing by U. S. Marines on Denmark's Jutland peninsula, as evidence of aggressive inten tions toward Russia. The tone of the note indicated the Russian government is taking an extremely serious view of the question. What counter-measures the So viets might have in mind could only be speculated on. In Denmark, the -cabinet was called into extraordinary session to consider the Soviet protest. Foreign Minister Ole Bjoern Kraft declined any comment on the note. Reliable informant in Copen hagen said later, however, that the Danish government will either re ject the note or leave it unan swered. Public reaction thus far has been one of resentment against what Danes feel to be unwarranted Soviet interference in Danish and NATO affairs.
