i THE CHARLES A. SPRAGUZL Editor and Publisher. . . liember of The Associated I Press " ' ' The Associated Press Is exclusive!? entitled to the use for publication of U news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this newspaper. Lend-Lease in Russia v- - - ; : " n V If, as seems to be the case, the Russians hare stopped the German drive with massed armor on the Kursk region southwest of .Moscow, it ' is probable that our own lend-lease Reserves - much ot the credit .The Russians describe the battle as the biggest "armored battle of all time, and claim a daily destruction! of 500 1 enemy tanks, truly a startling figure, one pretty hard to assimilate at this distance. The Russians are probably exaggerating the dimensions of the attack to magnify their own success in defense. If the Germans poured into such a narrow, sector so large a weight of armor, and metal, and the Russians have stopped them with -such scant lossbf ground, then the nazis are whipped in Russia, and can never hope to capture Mos h cow or reach the oil fields of the Caucasus. In ' gaining this victory undoubtedly planes, tank I destroyers, tanks and trucks contributed by the western allies have played an important part. , Russia appears to have been able to knock out nazi planes from the sky and retain air. super iority. The ' ground equipment furnished : in quantities under lend-lease , must have helped out substantially, to; say nothing of the food and medical supplies which we have been send ing in quantity to Russia. .j j We do not begrudge our contributions in the light of its effective use in , stopping the nazis. We can't expect the Russians to take all the physical risk of battle while we confine our selves to furnishing supplies. But our part is not the less potent if, until we can engage the enemy directly we can supply powerful weapons to those who, like the Russians are already en- gaged. ' Food Control ' One thing on which there appears to be gen eral agreement is that the national administra tion has badly muffed the ball in its handling of foods, as to production, distribution and ' pricing. Some time ago ex-President Hoover, one of the greatest authorities on the subject in the whole world, urged a centralizing of au thority over foods, instead of having it scattered, as it has been among many agencies. This was n't done, and Chester Davis quit as administra tor because he found he didn't have power to handle his task. However badly the business has been man aged, it remains a fact that controls of the pro visions of the American people is a complicated and difficult undertaking. The Food Industry War committee, headed by Clarence A. Francis of General Foods found this out when it met and tried to agree on a program. The 20 mem bers found they ' couldn't agree among them selves on what ought to be done, and they were top-flight men right in the food business. Peter Edson, a .Washington columnist who writes for the NEA service, related something of the grief of the committee as revealed in a press conference called by Mr. Francis. We take the liberty of quoting a few paragraphs from his recent column: r "When Mr. Francis complained about the 260 million man hours of labor required to handle ration stamps, he was asked if he were against rationing. Oh, no! The committee was for ration- ing and for price control and against inflation BUT a new balance should be struck to bring prices in line with increased labor costs. : Just try to figure out the logic of that. "The committee was unanimous in its opinion that OPA was being run inefficiently and not in the public interest BUT they had to be char itable to OPA because the law said it must ob serve parity, apply, ceilings as of Sept. 15, and allow for reasonable profits. The committee didn't believe the dictates of the law could be carried out unless subsidies were used BUT they were opposed to subsidies. Where does that leave you? ' r; They opposed OPA's plan of having several price ceilings for stores doing different volume of business BUT they favored a single price ceiling which would force the smaller, "less ef ficient" stores out of business. Then they com plained about the large number of stores being forced out of business by OPA. "The food industry! was' not interested solely in; profits BUT present OPA' policies had resulted in squeezing profits, resulting in loss ; es by wholesalers and retailers. "The financial statements of the industry for the six months would show good profits BUT - the industry hadn't been making any money since May 10,' when the OPA local dollars and : cents ceilings on specific food items went into effect ' . - 'r; y: wy --ifi' "They favored the placing of food production," , distribution ' and price control under the ad ministration of a single agency "in a matter of hours, not of days BUT after a two-day ses sion of their own they. were, unable to write a ' report expressing their ideas. . "And so on. - - - - "One of the restrictions ' which the. recent runaway session of the House proposed for OPA was that only men from the. industry concerned should be permitted to work on;its staff and make its decisions- The performance of the ' Food Industry War committee outlined above would seem to indicate this might be, to put St mildly, somewhat questionable. . All of which reminds one of Portia's famous utterance: "If to do were as easy as to know what were good to be done, chapels had been churches and poor men's cottages prince's pal aces." Rut even wise Portia made no comment when people can't agree on "what were good to be done, which seems to be the case with our food supply. , . - , ,u ; ' j ; Spokesmen for the unions which collect! toll from the workers in. shipyards defend their charge on this ground: these workers ought to be willing to contribute to the union which has, secured such, "splendid wages" ior them. Now the unionefs are seeking an - increase in' the already "splendid wages." ,If. tlxey get it maybe they will claim a higher percen'.ase for their 'thare. - ; . " '- " . "-..".- STATES!.IAN PUBLISHING CO. ; Jap Naval tended only Shipbuilding Record In the smgle Losses , ' . : The London Tribune, a sort of English New: " Republic, criticizes the allies : for overstating : forces of the enemy and overstating enemy losses. It says that if all the claims of our navy . as to sinkings of Jap warships are true Japan1 would have only 35 ships left . . . Onlyf the war and navy records,-which will - not be available until the war is over, for inde pendent investigation, will disclose the truth; We have claimed destruction of many Japan-; ese naval vessels, but except for a few battle ships and heavy cruisers our claims have ex to light cruisers and destroyers.' ; Our navy does claim to have knocked out plenty ' of these; and this fact is certain, that in all the naval engagements since the battle of the Java ,- sea our forces remained ; in possession of the, f waters where the fighting " occurred. ') Regardless of what number of ships of the Japanese the American navjr, has destroyed,' it is generally conceded that Japan's battle fleet remains intact The great body of its battleships, and heavy cruisers are still afloat, held in re serve for the "battle of Japan." That battle will surely come off. It might occur if our forces) move in on Truk; or it might be deferred until the fleets of America and Great Britain move into the waters of Japan's home islands. But; come off it surely will; and it will be the great est battle in naval history in points of tonnage, engaged and tonnage lost or damaged. On this r man's errand, we are sure not to send a boy . in -the -way of a light naval force. So we are con- , fident of the result when this predicted battler takes place. . . , A few days ago we made reference to possible . comparison of the record of the ; Keiser ship-; yards in Portland to that of the government at ? the Hog island yard in world war 1. Now we have that comparison: year, 194Z, Oregon Shipbuilding corporation built and delivered more ships in ' its 11-way yards than Hog island did in its 50 ways during the period from 1917 to 1922. The capital investment in Oregon Ship is only one fourth the amount that' was invested at Hog ' island. j The three Kaiser shipyards in the Portland , area are said on very high authority to be the most efficient in the whole world. Oregon Ship ' shows the lowest rate of man-hours per ton in -ships it produces. X --Vf f;;: With this marvelous record it ought to follow ' that these shipbuilding facilities, or the major portion of them, should be used to produce ships when the war ends. That, is why it is important '' to get the - Victory ship production started at Oregon Ship. This type of vessel is larger and faster, better adapted for the , competition of peacetime shipping. f ' ; 5. May we repeat what we have said before: Oregon must look to the sea, must capitalize ; on its location fronting the Pacific ocean. Our j people must become more sea- and ship-minded, r and less land-minded. Here we can build ships; let us continue to do so, and then employ them in world commerce. ; Could it be that the new barber law would, backfire on its sponsors? The present, union' scale is 65c for haircuts; but it is reported that y the barbers in their balloting expressed a pre-: ference for a 50c charge. If the law would re quire a reduction to 50c by all shops that would be something the sponsors of the bill hadn't figured on. ' . Congress has adjourned for a summer vaca tion of ten weeks. Isn't it playing a mean trick on the despised bureaucrats, who are thus left ; to simmer and parboil in the sticky Washing-, .. ton heat7 .. - 2 Editorial Comment From Other Papers . . . LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS In the early days of the Roosevelt regime, when ever it was desired to. bring about some change in. , the social atructure, to develop a new phase' of the' new. deal; or to . smear some group or interest, it was the practice to bring about a congressional in vestigation by means of which the faults and weak nesses of the existing order were thrown on the screen of publicity and popular support for the de- J aired change secured. At times in the process the . , bounds of legality were exceeded as was the case when, on one occasion, 'certain Income , tax reports were made, public without authority. On another Senator KKK Black seized telegram in a - move' later condemned by the court of which he Is now a member. We recall these matters as we read that a par 1 tiaan majority refuses to approve an investigation of the Wallace-Jones controversy over expenditures for critical war materials. This controversy Is bit ter. The principals in it occupy high position. The' . subject is one of great importance. Its connection with the war effort is obvious and the people who are supporting the war with their taxes and bond purchases and whose sons are fighting in it are entitled to know the facta and, knowing the facta, - to force a correction of whatever may be wrong. The refusal of the Democrat members of the com-' mittees to vote the investigation suggests their fear of what an Investigation will turn up. In short, here Is another matter on which the administration pre : fers secrecy to full publicity with the people per- ' , mitted to know what goes on. Bend Bulletin. Txaa lao ' ' ; - 1 '... . : There are many, editorial perils In trying to keep comment In pace with the changing of events, not to mention expressing the correct opinion. This Is particularly a problem for. the national magazine. For example, The Saturday Evening Post of this week Which carries the date of July 10, devotes its lead, editorial to a plea for full authority for Chester C Davis to handle the war food situation. The editorial which has as its title, -"Why Not Give the New Food Administrator a Chance?," by reason of advance printing schedules, fails to recognize that the new administrator is now already the old administrator and has been replaced after he and the President chose to differ.
