I British Labor and Mass Production
There is sharp and favorable contrast be
tween Great Britain's dismal outlook a little
1 more than two years ago when Churchill spoke
of 'fighting on from the shores of the i new
' world" if the islands fell io the enemy, and the
present outlook: kssured victory, continued co-
. - hesion of the empire at least for .the most part,
- even an improved status as a World power and -party
to the shaping of international organiza
tions -. " . I !
Yet as Mayor Earl Riley has pointed out in
reporting on his bbservances there, Great Bri-
tain faces serious-postwar problems. Labor will
' be in the saddle, and British labor leans heavily
to socialism. Theire is more reason for British
workers to favor; socialism than is the case In
America. Britain? "middle class" is really a
land-monopolizing aristocracy into which few
workers have been able to elbow their way; a
highly-cultured set ;of parasites who neither
produce nor contribute managerial talent. Most
Americans, no matter what their economic sta
tus, will agree that this "middle class" is a fifth
wheel and musi eventually j disappear. One
phase of its monopoly has heretofore been bro-
. ken through a ;socialistic step, nationalism of
the coal mines. Naturally if not wisely, British
labor advocates a similar solution to the re-
- mainder of the problem.
Possibly though we entertain grave doubts
f the British can 'make a limited socialism work
without destroying their democracy; they have
these advantages,? that their "trade union move
ment" has learned responsibility and that the
"left" and "right" argument has been carried
on there rather more calmly, without the re
criminations so prevalent here. Whatever else
happens there will be no violent revolution.
But no matter who is on top, Britain will face

for which they were endangered the Nikopol man--.
ganese mines and ; the Krivoi Rog iron center and
.... rail hub have been lost.
There seems no "warrant for a continued German
stand in what is left in nazi possession in the Dnie
r. per bend. The situation calls aloud for a general
German retreat westward while the limited and
gravely menaced route still at nazi disposal east
of the Bug river remains open. , .

v Moscow, advices say Krivoi Rog is doomed by a

less northern gatepost of the collapsed Krivoi Rog-
t Nikopol corridor. There can be little question that
; any German remnants still east of that line are
j surrounded and due for annihilation, or that the
! Krivoi Rog area nazi garrison is in growing peril
. ox a uae xaie. . -
There is only one escape route still open to Ger
i man troops in the Krivoi Rog sector, and Russian
" columns to the south are driving westward to by
pass Krivoi Rog itself and reach that line, the rail
" ' road leading southwestward to Nikolaev on the
lower Bug river. That escape channel is menaced
als from two other directions. The eastern' flank
; of the second Ukrainian army in the area to the
northwest is within striking distance of a critical
Junction, Dolinskiya, and capture of this would
I snap the escape line SO miles west of Krivoi Rog.

Salem. Bond Capital for a Day ,
Salem has been Oregon's political capital for
almost 90 years. But that' word "capital has
several meanings. Financially, Oregon's capital
has been quite heavily concentrated in Port-
land for almost as long; too much concentrated
to suit us, especially these last two years. Natur
ally, the war finance program has, also centered
there. .- ;f ..." ; l
But for a day, next Tuesday, Salem is to be
the war bond capital as well as the political
capital. And what a day li The climax of tha
fourth war loan campaign. On that day, it is
anticipated, Oregon wilt go over the top. Tha
final tabulations will be inade here and an
nounced at the Salem and Marion county "vie-;
tory rally" in the high school auditorium. Si-'
multaneously they will be announced to tha
state at large over radio station KOIN, whose
Million Dollar club will stage the Salem pro;
gram. J
The last couple of days war bond purchases
here have been lagging. Now, what is to be the
report? When final totals Segregated by coun
ties are announced from Salem next Tuesday;
night, will it be good publicity if Marion county,
is one of the few still short of their quotas, or:
one of those just barely oyer while others are
far ahead? Won't it be good publicity if Marion
county is up among the leaders? I
What individuals do, particularly in the pur
chase of series E bonds, will determine whether!
this statewide wind up rally turns out to be
good, or mediocre, or bad publicity for this!

By PAUL MALLON I j
(Distribution by Kins Features Syndicate, Inc. Repro-j;

WASHINGTON, February Freedom of th
air has flopped.
The original new dealing notion that the landing!
fields of the new air world tie opened to free-for-f
au traffic has dropped quietly
into the limbo of impossible
ideas alongside the quart- of-4
milk - a. - day. It could not
be done, even if we wanted to.
and we don't wish to open ourj
domestic fields and business tof
every nation in the world. f
Instead, the inner govern-l
ment policy is developing be-;
hind a plan set forth by Chair-;
man L,. !Welch Pogue, of the
civil aeronautics board, in 4
little noticed speech to the New York Herald-Trib-I
unt forum. . If
Mr. Pogue is an outstanding young government
executive in this local political swirl where young
brains are rare. He wanted tiie new air world se
up on an international agreement among nations
to allow gasoline reservicing facilities at all air-l
ports, but restricting the i commercial business
(landing and taking on passengers) to two-way
agreements between individual nations. ,
Sovereignty of the air arid over the business
thereby would be retained by each nation except as
specifically modified by mutually beneficial agreed
ments. f
Even less observed was the unofficial response
of Lord Beaverbrook that this seemed a good way
of going about the problem. There the matter now
rests, with no negotiations yet under way. (Bea
verbrook was reported secretly in this country some
weeks ago, but if he was here, it was on a personal
mission not connected with this matter.) f
Down deep at the core of the problem is a sen"
satknal lobbying struggle of Pan-American airways
to get a monopoly on all foreign American busi
ness in this postwar air world. I
A congressman, Sheppard, California democrat;
gave some of the inside of this in a speech Febru
ary S. Sheppard charged if that Pan-American's
dynamic vice president, Juan Trippe, has made
connections throughout this government (Foreign
Economic Administrator Leo T. Crowley is on
Trippe's board, as is Robert Lehman, a partner of
Lehman Brothers, and Staie Under - Secretary
Stettinius -is Trippe's brother-in-law). Sheppard
told of a lobbying entertainment house lavishly
maintained here by Tripped
All that Sheppard implied about Pan-American's
hold on the government is true. Trippe built up
. . Pan-American from nothing by the use of govern
ment money, subsidies, and diplomatic power. But
he seems now heading in a popular demand for
postwar air competition.
The leading domestic lines (American Airways,
TWA, Eastern) have all filed applications to extend
their lines into foreign service after the war. They
' may produce just as muchvpower from Interested .
; senators and congressmen as Trippe has wielded
: formerly. Pan-American does not function within
the borders of the country,: They do. My guess Is
Pan-American will be beaten. f
Necessities of competition for the people are ob
vious. Scarcities and government controls have
; eliminated competition in serving the public during
this war. Look at the results in railroad service,
restaurant service, or In any line. In a capitalistic
system, competition - is essential for ' public good;
, monopolies are repugnant ;J . ? j..
If Mr. Pogue wins, this government probably
will enter agreement with 'Britain for a division
of mutual commercial business. The British want
to sllow us only 50-50 rating with their comnara-
tively inconsequential Imperial airways, but ob
viously we must insist upon carrying American
originated business to the fullest possible extent
furthermore, the simplest iolution with the Br
.tish does not even seem to be under consideration.
It is unthinkable that south Pacific airports
bathed in marine blood or built by American Sea
bees on British possessions, (Guadalcanal, etc)
; shall return to exclusive British commercial or
military use after; this war especially as Britain
will owe us a tremendous lend-lease debt which
she cannot otherwise pay. If there is any excuse
; for us failing to. acquire new world air bases for
lend-lease balances, it has not yet been offered. I
Westbrook IPegler has colunmljed contrary ; ad
vice on the ground that we. will asquire natives
with the bases, whom the Incw dealers will feed
and vote under WPA. This half-baked deduction
was concocted on one of Mr. Pegjert few bad days.
The bases are essential for military protection prl
marily, secondarily valuable . for commercial air
- purposes in the new air world. Uplift of natives Is
a separate comparatively minor consideration which
this government may or . may not undertake. Mr.
Peglert objection therefore, was only obscurely
.htsnorous. - ...J, , 1 .-v-

- getting 30 cents a dozen for eggs, '
and now we are getting 32.
A year ago5 we were told to
raise more cockerels "to lick Ifit
: . ler- . ;-'! : . VfcpiZ:.:
I said then you could-not lick,
:. .Hitler, with cockerels;", that It
would, have;, to be . done" with
guns, and I was right .
; Now, they tell us to cull, and
' cull heavy. f
I say, cull 100 per cent, and I
am right, again. . '
Someone tiinks poultrymen
are dumb and it must be so, oth
erwise they would have the
white collar Job, . and not be
shovelling fath out of .a hen
.house.-, -"!-'.
Do you know there are old
" people, cripples and blind peo
. pie, trying to make an honest
living raising chickens, and now
they are being driven right up
against the wall? . ' : . .
- - Who told lis to produce more
poultry and eggs to help win the
; war? i '- . . .
What has happened to the ceil
lng on eggs?'r v:v ' r-'.VK-
Why hasn't the ceiling been
regulated according to the price
we are paying for feed? Can you
answer this?

Was not so bad as my second ex
perience which was getting up
in the morning with the "War
Time" and not quitting work un
til dark. You say I did not have
to work until dark you are
wrong I was raising poultry,
4uad the poultry ignored the war
time they just wouldn't go to
froost until dark, f . J.
f Regardless of poultry there
Was io much work to be done
that the average farmer was im
pelled to work- so long as he
could see. ? !

Fourth V7ar
Loan Tfioucht
For Today I
Ne Excuses l
i The final days of the fourth
war loan are no time for fancy
phrases or campaign stunts 'to
persuaae you u

You either
have done your
duty as a citl-
sen or you have
shut your eyes to your responsi
bilities. i '
1 In this newspaper you will
find the latest local and national
- fourth war loan sales totals.
These figures can be as big as
the universe and yet this drive
is an 5 absolute failure for you
personally, ' if you have not
bought extra war bonds. By the
same token, our grand sales to
tals may be headlined as "lag
ging and yet you yourself may
not have lagged in backing the
attack. The fourth war loan is as
personal as a nazi or Japanese
bullet is to your son and neigh
bor's son. ; - . - ' . '
I -Take a moment and think of
an excuse you could possibly
give to one of our boys in Europe
or in the Pacific for not helping
him by buying an i extra war
bond or two today. Will it stand
" i?p? You say you haven't the
i money or the time or you haven't
been asked. If you are seeking
excuses for not buying extra
bonds, you don't deserve the sac
rifices being made for you on the
bloody battlefields of Europe and
