father than in company. But it must have been
6uite a scene when three kings of the orient vis
ited the president of a distant but famous de
rnbcracy. " "
King Farouk is the successor of the ancient
Pharaohs though his empire is not so broad nor
bis grip on power so firm. He might have made
conversation with President Roosevelt by point
Jog to the spot (if it is in that vicinity) where
the hosts of Pharaoh were drowned when they
pursued the Israelites fleeing from their slave
labor (making bricks) for the Egyptian rulers,
though not without some compensation (leeks
and garlic) i
Emperor Hailie Selassie might have discussed
a trip in state made by one of his predecessors
in office, the Queen of Sheba, who traveled by
caravan to visit King Solomon in Jerusalem.
She brought gifts of gold and spices and had a
good time at Solomon's court. Poor Hailie Se
lassie, we wonder who loaned him the coat he
wore when he called on the president. It looked
a bit like a GI overcoat. But then he should
be happy. He is back at Addis Ababa, and Mus
solini is jibbering in a north Italian resort.
The one who could come and be sure of re
ceiving every possible consideration was King
Saud, and that not because of the fame of his
ancestors or predecessors in office. For King
Saud's country is rich in oil, and the rulers of
Britain and the United States and Russia do
well to treat him with deference. King Saud
brought along bis own camp, and pitched his
tent and laid, his' bed on the deck of the de
stroyer. As a devout Mohammedan he prob
ably was not offered any of the president's "old
fashioned" drinks. He brought' along his own
mutton, on the hoof, and his milch goats. But
the president made him feel right at home.
It was a deft touch, that of Roosevelt's in in
visiting these three kings of the orient tq call.
'Two of them, Farouk and Ibn Saud, preside
over key countries, whose good will is invalu
able for world security. Their assistance in the
war is appreciated, and their continued cooper
ation strongly desired. And we have no doubt
that the three kings of the orient left the Amer
ican destroyer with kindly thoughts toward Mr.
Roosevelt and the great country of the Occident
over which he presides. V ,
B. B. Beekman r .
The Beekman name belongs in the roots of
Oregon history. C. C. Beekman was a pioneer
express agent and banker in Jacksonville at the
time it was a center of gold diggings. (The town
is still a veritable museum piece rich in antiques
and historical lore). B. B. Beekman, whose
death in Portland occurred a few days ago, was
a son of the pioneer banker. Given a fine edu
cation at the University of Oregon and at Yale,
the son became a teacher and then a lawyer.
His great interest in his later years was pioneer
history. He sponsored the C. C. Beekman prizes
for high school essays in Oregon history. He
served as member of the board of directors of
the Oregon Historical society and was an active
member of the S. A. R. and of Masonic groups.
He was a familiar figure about the Portland
hotel where he resided for SO years. Quiet and
unostentatious, Mr. Beekman used his means
and his influence in behalf of worthy causes.

Get on Bandwag6u
Turkey and Egypt have declared: war on the;'
axis powers. So have! several of the Latin
American nations in recent weeks. These decla- j
rations are based on advice from the Big Three
nations that unless they actually declare war
on Germany and Italy they: will not be invited
to attend the San Francisco conclave on world
organization nor given a place at the peace con
ference to follow the war. So they have rushed
for the bandwagon. I
We do not understand why these nations need
to be belligerents in order to have a place at the
San Francisco meeting.? That is a meeting to
frame finally the organization for world order.
To it all nations ought to be eligible except en--emy
states and those lined up with hem. They
can make no greater contribution to the allied
side in this war through formal declarations
than they already are doing: The necessity for
these nations to become' belligerents is not ap-
. a i,'
parent. . 8 . ' J' '
As far as the peace Conference is concerned
these small nations will have little to say any
way.' They didn't at the Paris conference in
1919. In international affairs power is still the
measuring rod, and the small nations, lacking
power, have to.take what is given them. They
very well know, however, ' that they wiil fare
better under the overlordship of America and
Britain than in a Hitlerite world. -' I I

ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR ANALYST?,
The answer to Nazi ability to maintain hnj or-':
ganized defense aground .within the roofless; citadel
that lies between the Rhine and the Oder may be
evident soon. ;
And when it is, the duration of the war: in Eu-;
rope can be answered with some reasonable degree jj
of accuracy. ' f I 1 1 ;
Germany was face to face with another supreme
test I t -t!
There was no question: but that the final phase of J
a coordinated Russian-Allied winter drive to crush i
the wehrmacht was on although the full scope and
: direction of simultaneous massive ground attacks I
from east and west had yet to develop. , . f
Under cover of a sustained Allied air bombard-1
ment that blackened German skies day and night I
with bombers the big push began.
In an anniversary order to Red armies issued J
while Allied bombers were ripping at every vital j
Nazi communications key in. preparation for the
culminating break-through ground attacks, lremier 1
Stalin again defined the Joint objective as annihila j
hon of the German army.;; For the first time, too, he 1
disclosed officially that) the iRussiathAllied oflen- 1
that if he makes a loan and
loses, the government will share
the loss pro rata with the bank
er, up to a $2000 maximum. .'
But: on a $4000 loan banking
practice, based, on experience,
will permit only' a 50 per cent
: loan. The banker might be will
ing to make the loan if he had
the underlying security, but in
stead of the government making
a flat; guarantee up to 50 per
cent of a $4000 loan, it merely
off ers to d i v td e the loss, and
where several thousand veterans
are seeking J full 100 per cent
loans j there are bound; to be
losses! ' 4: , 1 : ! I'
And the government requires
the banker'to make these loans
at the very low rate of 4, per
cent! fl' " . j',. :f t
What Is the result? The bank
er, who is lending chiefly not
his own money but the money
his depositors 1 have left with
him, cannot make 100 per cent
loans I on such j a deal, because
there tare sure to be losses and
the interest rate is too low to
absorb such probable 1 losses,
even With government sharing.
When this is explained to the
ex-doughfoot or the ex-seaman,
he is apt to say, as he turns
away: "Just 'what I was afraid
of; another gyp."
This lending' deal is not as
practical as the FHA lending ar
rangement in which the govern
ment made a guarantee of the
lop ten per cent on loans for
housing, permitted a higher rate
of interest and then took a
small. percentage for an insur
ance fund on such loans. This
has worked out very well both
for borrowers and for the banks
and lending agencies and for the
'. government ' j
It Would seem that radical re
vision is necessary before the
lending provisions, particularly
for business loans, will be of
much value to ; veterans. Better
to let the normal methods of
business prevail in which the
veteran can obtain credit accord
ing to his own credit rating than
to hang up hopes which; cannot
be realized. 1 i '

.-A lawyer-business man who is
, government official listened to
a group of the learned and wise
among his - associates, discussing
whether. Stalin won the Livadia
conference, whether lefteist to
talitarianism (quasi; communism )
will sweep Europe, what our
own post-war
future . Is, for
more than an
hour before he
broke in to say:
"I think com
munism or some
similar disinte
gration of our
system is ahead
of this country
: in the next fifty
years. But I
think it is coming, not because
of Stalin, but because of our
own foolishness. We have not
met our problems wisely and
soundly. We are hot doing that
today. . .'J i
It is inevitable j furthermore,
that our people will soon sweep
aside the coming communism in
whatever form it takes, as soon
as they experience it They do
not want it They will fight to
get out of it, and to restore
soundness in values all values
money, morals, religion, liter
ature, art, economics. They will
return to common sense for
many generations thereafter."
No one present disagreed. A
religious leader noted the same
'symptoms in 'his line of work
as the banker found in his. On
the religious sidei the 'decline
of popular faith in soundness ;of
moral values was evident-4A
disinclination toward 'common
practices which f mikes for

The banker noted that the
American' Bankers association
does not oppose the side of the

proposes giving money awey for
rebuilding the world, but only
the foreign exchange part Even
bankers have become so con
fused and disillusioned they no
