Churchill on Peace Plans for Britain Over the Peak . f
From time to time there: have t been predic
tions that when the war in Europe was oyer
and effort was c6nfcentrated on the war with
Winston Churchill remains the master
phrase-maker of the time. He can roll his ora
torical periods with a flourish none can excel
In this day. His style is characteristic: a fresh
ness of diction and sentences cast in a prose
rhythm.
Speaking as party ledder of the Conservatives
at a party conference the prime minister made
it clear that he plans to carry on the task of
heading the government, even after the war.
He turned his thoughts therefore in the direc
tion of party policy in shaping the government
policy of the post-war period. Recurring as is his
wont to the task in hand, Churchill uttered this
sentence, which reminds one of phrases in simi
lar tone in the house of commons and to, the
American congress:
The continuous and ever more rapid prog
ress of t$e war against Germany and the nazi
tyranny leads us all to hope that the giant foe
against whom for more than a year we stood
alone, unflinching and undismayed, will be
forced intp unconditional surrender, or beaten
to the ground in chaos or ruin. '
As to postwar plans Churchill plumped
strongly for private enterprise, scorning the so
cialist program "for nationalizing all the means
' of production, distribution and exchange. He
said, again in the old English spirit:
We are determined, he said, that the native
genius and spirit of adventure, or risk taking in
peace as in war shall bear our fortunes for
ward in profitable work and trade for our peo
ple, and that good and thrifty housekeeping,
both national and private, shall sustain our
economy.
One wouldn't class Churchill as much of a
new dealer or a Henry Wallace revamper of
enterprise. He said:
This ;is no time for windy platitudes. The
Conservative" party had far better go 'down tell
ing the truth and acting in accordance with the
verities of our position than gain a span of
shabbily bought office by easy and fickle froth
and chatter. ;......,
All this will tickle the ears of the conserva
tives in Britain and on this side of the water
too. But we wonder if Churchill really knows
what his own people are up to? The British
program of government and business seems to
lean heavily on government bossing, on cartels
and cradle-to-grave, security. And Labor may
take over if Conservatives really become conr
servative. - ' '
Senator Wheeler
The state senate did honor to one of Its vet
eran members, H. C. Wheeler, Wednesday, when
it adopted a resolution of appreciation for his
long service. Wheeler served in the house from
Lane county for three terms, 1919, 1923 and
1925. He is now serving his fourth term in the
senate, having entered with the session of 1931.
His major service has been on ways and means
committee (chairman, 1933) and education,
which he has been chairman of for many ses
sionsrFirm in his convictions Wheeler has
been one of the stalwarts of the senate, and his
quiet manner has won him many friends in and
out of the legislature. ;
Before coming down for this session Senator
Wheeler told his constituents that this would be
his last term. In his 81st year he can retire
from the stir and turmoil of legislative sessions
and relax at his home in the beautiful Pleasant
Hill section of Lane county, one of the oldest
settled districts of the upper valley. He has
earned an honorable retirement.
How Come? i ;
Our state department has gotten around to in
quiring "How come?' with respect to the coup
in Romania, by which Premier Radescu was
ousted and "previously little-known Petru Groza
was installed as his successor. If our country
or Britain had been permitted to have news
correspondents in Romania we would have had
the facts. They are excluded. All our news
comes through the Moscow filter and that fil
ter is still red.; ;
Editorial Comment
FEDEKAL AID FOE SCHOOLS
In the Oregon legislature, the enactment of an
augmented plan of state aid for public schools is
apparently near. : We have discussed such plans
before now. We would now like to discuss a plan
for federal aid for schools which has been placed
, before the national congress. ,
In some respects this plan is similar to the state
plan, for where the state plan would aid school
districts, the federal plan would aid states. Each
would get the money from the general fund, which
means that almost any sort of tax might eventually .
contribute to the expense. '.Neither program of as
sistance would take into consideration the amount
of money that taxpayers of a district had paid Into
the state treasury or that taxpayers of the state
had paid into the federal treasury. The state would
distribute its largess on the basis of child popula
tion; the federal government would shower its bless
ings on states in which relatively insufficient pro
: vision had been made for education. There would '
be drought for those states where conditions were
relatively good. v '
Not that the drought would be apparent. It would
- not be discerned at alL It would merely seem to
the delighted educators that more money was com
ing their way. No indication that this money was
costing anyone anything or at least no indication
that the money was costing the recipients anything.
The illusion is a common one when disbursements
are nude from pooled resources. . . .
But here is the way it would actually work.
There would be $300,000,000 to distribute. Of this,
Oregon would receive $1,891,478. Toward the $300,
000,000, Oregon taxpayers would contribute $3,
242.000. ' .
Yes, Oregon would be one of the donor states.
You see, conditions are not so bad in Oregon after
all. Our Pacific coast states are three of the 17
which would pay more tharr they would receive.
Maybe it would be better for Oregon to run its own
affairs. By the same token, maybe it would be
better for the districts of Oregon to run their own
affairs.'- "-' V
The federal measures to which we have referred
are S. 181 and H.R. 12S5. Like proposals have been
before the national legislature in its past four ses
, sicr.3. Eer.i Bulletin. ' -----
Japan, the pressures on this coast would grow
heavier. There wasteven a warning to Jrortiana
to expect a big inflttk of population to take care
of the huge volum J of shipping. The States
man! has been 'quite; skeptical about these pre
dictions and alarms It seemed clear that both
the railroads and the ports were handling about
all the traffic they lould. It also seemed rea
sonable to expect pat when the pressure of
supplying Europe's twr wa off the east the
facilities of rail anf ports there, would be di
verted to help with: the Pacific war, using jthe
Panama canal for shipping. ? i
This is 'what is (transpiring. - Vice Admiral
Vickery of the maritime commission said Thurs
day that large suppl shipments destined f for
the war in the orieftt were being moved out' of
east coast and gulf ; ports "because west coast
ports have not the capacity to accommodate the
shipping." Also, he added, failroads could not
possibly move all the: supplies overland.
The fact is that our bases in the far east are
getting well stocked now foil big-scale war op
erations. Huge dumps have been established
on island bases. There will be increases when
the European war ends because of the desire to
finish up the job as quickly as possible. But
the port of the Gujf of Mexico and of the At
lantic' coast will' participate in this business.
There will be no shrply mointing peak of traf
fic or of work on tljiis coast;! ;J
In this same interview Admiral Vickery dis
closed that the merchant shipbuilding program
for the war will be pretty -well concluded in
1945. Many yards'; will convert to ship repair,
but the big job oH; laying down hulls will; be
completed. Already the employment peak! has
been passed. Now there ate 170,000 fewer ship
yard workers than a year ago. Clearly the
bloom will be off he boom bjr the year's end.

New Hampshire
There was something gripping about the re
port that the citizens of New Hampshire meet
ing in special towi meetings, expressed them
selves on the question of approval or disappro
val of the plan developed at Dumbarton Oaks.
These New Hampshire folk'can make no final
decision. That rests with the people of all 48
states acting through; theijfchosen representa
tives. But the people of this old New England
state felt the matter was important enough for
them to pas! on b. formal voting. So in town
halls all over the ftate, from busy, navy-yard-city
Portsmouth tothe snow-bound hamlets up
in the White mountains, the citizens turned jifut
to discuss and to vj)te. The meetings were pre
ceded by an active campaign of education too,
as seems quite appropriate Ho a New England
state with its traditions of ; education and de
mocracy. The votie--it was- overwhelmingly: in
favor of the Dumbarton Oaks program. But the
result is incidental td the unique event of holdv
ing over 200 town meetings on one day to dis-'"
cuss and vote on a question pf national concern!
-Citizens of New Hampshire do not propose to
shirk their civic duties and; "pass the buck''; to

The War News
By KUtKE L. SIMPSON
ASSOdATETJ PRESS WAK ANALYST
There are broad intimations from the west "front
that American Third army tanks are on the loose
again, ripping their; way up the left bank of the
Rhine, in Germany Ws they race through France to & was
start the Nazi retreat to fortified German frontiers.
One armored unfit Was reported virtually half
way to the Bingen bend, of the river above Coblenz.
Air scouts spotted German convoys streaming east
ward out of the Saar basin to escape entrapment.
And a wide and deep gain by American Seventh
army comrades coming to grips with the last seg
ment of the once boasted Nazi westwall defense sys
tem still in German hands tended to verify the im
pression that an enemy collapse in the Saarland was
impending. ;. ff ji
The significance tof the Third army push up the
Rhine toward Bingen is two-fold. Main communi
cation lines serving all the northern half of ;the
Saarland converge in the vicinity ofBingen.! If
they are reached by American troops before ! sub
stantial Nazi forces, still deployed in the northern
half of the great industrial basin, Germany's , lit
tle Ruhr," make good their escape . beyond!; the
Rhine, another heavy bag of prisoners could result
Bingen also stands, however, at the northwestern
corner of a broad plain lying along the west bank
of the Rhine from -that point to the Karlsruhe cor
ner. ; That plain apparently offers General Patton's
seasoned tankers the best terrain they have had
since they stormed' across France. There are no
natural obstacles West of the Rhine to bar their
surge southward perhaps to effect a junction with,
the Seventh army, in the Karlsruhe-Haguenau e
glon to the south, dosing a huge trap on probably
tens of thousands of Nazi troops. '
Nazi commentators admit that the Third' army
break through southward over the Moselle i has
placed such German industrial centers as 'Frank
f urt-on-Main, Darmstadt, Mannheim and Karlsruhe ,
in jeopardy. All of them lie east of the Rhine but
the danger of encirclement west of the river of a
substantial part off te troops relied upon by the
Germans to guard that all-important stretch of the
river is very reaU If the looming American trap
on the west bank is closed it could leave the whole
wide stretch of the Rhine from Coblenz to Karls-
ruhe virtually unprotected.- . ;':r.:: - :
The importance i6f that cannot be over estimated. .
It is the Coblenz-Karlsruhe span of the Rhine that
: guards the best military approaches to the great
central plain of Germany into which refugees from
east and west have been pouring. A crossing of
the river anywhere between Bingen and Karlsruhe -would
expose such cities as Nurnberg and even'
Munchean (Munich), Nazidom's birthplace, to early
attack. -- t -
The squeeze attack on the Saar basin holds glow
ing possibilities of shortening the period of German
organized resistance materially. It is bringing pow
erful American armies jlirectly into that portion of
Germany they have been assigned for occupation '
under Yalta agreements between the United States,
-Britain and Russia; , .- . " j ;-

ran to "the mild voluntary man

one agrees is not much of a

Pepper, et al preferred the CIO
to the president when the show
down came, although this obser
vation contains ': some political i
oversimplification.
Even the house eased down in
the vote Wednesday to an ex
tent making quite apparent the
futility of the president's stand 1
for a compulsory draft of work-
-er- 1; ' I j. f . I
How did it happen to stand
with him In the' first place and
pass the stronger May-Bailey
bill? Well, the bill was promoted
by the house military affairs
committee which will do what
ever the army wants ordinarily!
It was rammed through the
house because our army was not
yet out of the hole caused by
the German break-through, and
Speaker Rayburh made support
of the war department in this
matter an issue of emotional
prestige for the president : who
then absent abroad. Even
then Rayburn had only a 10 -man
margin for compulsion against
one of the substitute plans. .
It is quite clear now ' that the
house is caving in and in any1
event Mr.' Roosevelt cannot get
a labor draft in any form; fur
thermore, he must take approxi
mately the weak senate plan or
nothing. vf .:- ; .-J; . y ;
To attribute his defeat to the
CIO, however, lis .ridiculous. I.
believe the primary : cause was
this: i ::!.: j
,: The- army admittedly made a
mistake when it expected the
end of the war last year and
began; retrenching on) produc
tion. In dismay it went to the
opposite extreme and since then
has been working -on the! offi
cially announced basis that the
.war will never be over, and is
constantly expanding its de
mands, (recently steel, alumi
num, zinc, etc.) j j J
At least they are following
this ' policy in general, although
I hear some private talk of in
dividual and secret cutbacks be
ginning in certain lines, Which
they donot want made public.
But the average congressman
Is convinced the war: in Europe
should be over, between April
IS "and June 30. Manpowerer
McNutt dutifully testified for
the boss (the president has done
all he could to win this fight
for the army and himself) that
there would be no retrenchment
on V-E day, but everyone ex
pects it must come the day after,
in a great many lines at least
Furthermore, the , president,
army, 'McNutt and others j failed
to make out a case of a national'
crisis on labor, warranting such
a drastic departure from demo
cratic processes. There are sup
posed to be some 87,000,000 peo
ple working now. No official ev
er claimed the shortage was
more than 170,000 to 200,000
'workers. ; I . j
And there were many answers
offered to those figures! The
shortages were in sub-standard
wage industries, in certain lo
calities, in special industries.
Probably a-jcreater deterrent
to war production was the union
and money conditions. Unions
fixed quotas in many war 'plants,
limiting production.' W 0 rkers
who could make big money, all
they could spend, working four
or five days a week, just) would
not work longer. - J
Tne Mead committee got this -evidence
out of its Detroit in
vestigation, if any evidence of
such an obvious general con
dition was needed. Yet we ; are
supplying the world. '
I think a fair, objective ver
dict on the months of fdebate
and conflicting .evidence j would
hold that the manpower short
age 1 was limited and . that' the.
condition did not come anywhere
near Justifying a draft f 4
Not even the prestige and, un
paralleled power of the- presi
dent could overcome these facts
and they could not ; be entirely
obliterated by the official great
administration publicity j cam-"
paign. Indeed the only effective
argument for the bill was that
the president wanted it because
he thought it would be popular
with the soldiers, but that did
not go in the senate, and is now
- falling in the house. '; : ' ;
j I wish I could report this as a

doubts the offerings would be in
greater volume than purchases,
with resulting price declines.'
j What does this mean for fu
ture bond marketings? That is .
fwhat the bond men and bank
ers are wondering.-! Don't be
surprised if ' interest rates ! are
hot shaved on issues of the sev
enth war loan, due to come up
in May. Great Britain last No

jltts of 1950. It. will not be" sur
prising if our treasury doesn't
either lower the rate or lengthen
'the term at the old rate.' Thus
the ten-year. twos' might be suc
ceeded by 15-year 2s; or the 2i '
'might be-replaced with 2s of
the same maturity, i - -
There is a great amount of
trading in government bonds, es
pecially by financial houses.
jThey have been able to make
neat profits on the rise. Here-w
jtofore the popular medium has;
been the 2s,. because of their:

distant maturity tneir increase
should continue farther than the
2s which face an earlier matur
ity and still earlier call date.
Don't get excited Just because
your bonds of these; issues have '
gone up in price, and rush down
and sell them. If the issues of
the seventh war loan are offered
with lower coupon rates, men
the older issues are apt to move
ahead still, more. It should be
comforting to holders of govern
ment bonds, however, to realize
that they can sell at a profit if
they want to. That ought to
help in the promotion of the next
war loan.

A condensation of this White
paper on Russia by the author of 1
the excellent "They Were Ex
pendable" appeared recently in
a magazine and was criticized
heatedly. . I" r
In the introduction to the
book White admits there were
some errors. "Some of these mis- -takes
were favorable to the Rus- -sians,"
he writes; ? "some were
unfavorable and these last of
course I regret"
He gives the - Russians their
due, in passing. Stalin is "a
. great man;" Russian : artillery, .
"excellent fy the red ; army,
"good." The soviet union han
dles the race problem intelli
gently. All the youths are at
war. The Russians don't have
enough fruit and vegetables.
But he has more fault to find
than praise to bestow. From the
very first page, where he notes
a soviet vice-consul's "creaky
schoolboy English to the last
paragraph, he voices suspicion
of - and s complaints about the
Russians. ; -:' y- - r
The bulk of his book, written
after! a trip with Erie Johnston
and interpreters, is composed of
findings like these:
Russia is run by "combination
city manager-Little Caesar
types." The country Is like
penitentiary. The army is as be
draggled j as ' the - "Mexican'
army. There are few paved high'
ways. Stalingrad is only a little
place compared to London. The
factories are dirty. The Moskva
hotel is like- a barn. Wash basin
drams dont drain.
To continue: Red diplomats
don't smile; they wear badly cut
suits! of I shoddy material. The

arouse bis enthusiasm? Yes. He
admires I very much some old
palaces cf the czars, various ar
cniuictunu, zeatures - - in p re-
