No. 48
The Coos Bay Times has ad
vanced the suggestion that the
state use its credit and borrow
money in order to expedite com
pletion of the highway reconstruc
tion 1 which is needed,! mentioning
narticularlv the Columbia river
highway, the Pacific highway and
the jOregon coast highway. The
merit of these projects has long
been recognized and j funds have
been - allocated to them in sub
stantial amounts for the postwar
program. Even so it! will take a
long time and the Times and the
Portland Oregonian point out, to
complete the work. ,
There are some sound arguments
in favor of issuing bonds to speed
, up the work.- Interest rates are
now very low: the 'cost of the
money to the state wimld run be
tween one and two percent for a
bond with maturity of 10 to 15
years. ' The economic' gains from
modernized highways! would more
:thaii offset the interest charge.
: To return to financing road
building by borrowing money,
however. ' would reverse a policy
now of many, years j standing It
is true that after the first world
war; road bonds were issued up to
a peak of over $38,000,000 in 1923

Stalin Tells Wliy
16 Pole Leaders
Were Arrested
LONDON, Saturday, May 19.-()-Premier
Marshal Stalin de
clared today the Polish question
could be solved by agreement be
tween the allies only "if in" re
construction of the Polish provis
ional government the latter is rec
ognized as the basic core of the
future Polish government of na
tional unity."
His statement, broadcast by the
Moscow radio, said that the reor
ganization "must be in accord
with the Crimea decisions," be
cause no deviations from these
decisions can be permitted.
Stalin laid down two additional
conditions under which allied un
ity over Poland could be achieved.
They were:
Must Be Friendly
"If as a result of the reconstruc
tion a government is created in
Poland which, will pursue a policy
of friendship with the Soviet un
ion and not a policy : of 'cordon
sanitaire against the Soviet union.
"If the question of reconstruc
tion of the Polish government is
resolved together with the Poles,
who at present have ties with the
Polish people, and not without
them."
: Stalin's statement came in reply
to a letter from Ralph Parker,
Moscow correspondent of the Lon
don Times, asking for a statement
from the head Of the Soviet gov
ernment on the arrest of 1? lead
ers in the Polish exile government
Poles Not Invited
Stalin said it was untrue that
the Poles were invited for negotia
tions with Soviet authorities be
cause "Soviet authorities do not
and will noV conduct negotiations
with those, who break the law
dealing with the- protection of the
Red army rear.'
Stalin declared the arrest of 18
Polish leaders "with the well-
known diver sionist general Okulic
ski at their head" -had not con
nection with the question of the
reconstruction of the Polish pro
visional government -

An order deporting Fritz Kuhn,

Germany was announced today by
the justice department
For the 49-year-old Kuhn the
order opened no prospect for re

a "trouble maker" and officials
said that on his arrival in Ger
many he will be dealt with as the
U.S. army sees fit
The ouster was ordered by the
board of immigration appeals who
classified him as an undesirable

his conviction in 1939 of larceny
of bund funds and a denaturaliza

Labisli Growers
Moan; Moisture
Saves Flax Crop
By Marguerite Gleeson
Valley Newa Editor
Rain which brought joy to the
dairy farmers and has saved the
flax crop, for ; the' .- second time
since 1926 today was threatening
the Lake Labish onion crop ; and
was making the hop growers un
happy.
No positive encouragementjl was
given by the weatherman whdj pre
dicted warmer weather this'jpeek-
end. ?. i i -
... II' -:
How . much damage will have
been done to the onion, carrot
peas and sweet corn on Lake La
bish depends upon how long the
water remains upon the land,: and
weather conditions as it recedes.
Growers were agreed upon 1 this
as they held themselves in readi
ness to replant the crops as ilsoon
as possible, if necessary. ! ?
Onions Larger '
While water . has covered! I the
Labish onion lands as deep as it
is now twice since 1926 the-tuauji-dated
onions have never been as
large as they are now. This,! too,
is agreed upon by growers:; and
workers long conversant with the
ditsrict - i! "
The amount of the" damage to
the crop, provided it is not neces
sary to replant, is a point of dis
agreement and the labor problem
seems to be a great factor. Grow
ers who have felt the pinch of
labor shortages are concerned
about the weed problem which
will face them, if the water re
cedes with replanting unnecessary.
Other, large growers, who have
kept a large crew on their pajrroll,
consider it will only be a cafe of
taking out more weeds at I one
time, rather than a few at 4w6 dif
ferent' tones.'1 ' - ..'- I " ; i
Hop growers have been ihard
hit by the nine-day rain for it
has kept the workers out of the
yards when the vines needed train
ing. The rain did not affect the
cane fruits but was hard on goose
berries which were affected by
a worm, but "berries in general
were unaffected since jthey. have
not reached the blooming stage.
May Hart Cherries jj M
Cherries on lower ground have
not "set well" but about those on
higher ground, those who know
state it is too soon to be sure about
the "set" i j
Growers from both Polk j! and
Marion counties camplain a little
about the aphis on the vetch and
at least one grower from the; val
ley claimed to have observed
brown rot on the cherries. Others,
perhaps more scientific and! less
pessimistic made ligh( of the claim
saying they did pot believe ft
One man in touch with all parti
of the valley gaveJt as his opinion
that the rain "had been a bit ex

Cuban Accuses
j Of Wanting to Establis1i
A 'Collective Dictatorship9
' By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
j SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-(A-Delegates reported tonight
that a fiery Cuban,1 speaking in a United -Nations conference
enmrnittee, had accused big nations of wanting to ;set up a "col
lective wemaamppivtr tnr world-f"-' :j
. 1 In theost violent dispute yet witnessed by the conference,
delegates said Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) called for other
nations to entrust the great pow
ers with "the same confidence and
faith" in peace that they have in
war. .
It was another flare-up of con
troversies that have been sputter
ing between big and small nations
at this conference called to build
an organization to insure peace.
Delegates said Francisco Agu-
irre of Cuba touched off the fire-;
works in a committee considering
powers of a proposed all-nation
general assembly.
How Scrap Started
This is how the scrap developed,
as. reported by delegates who at
tended the closed door meeting:
Aguirre asserted that the big
four countries sponsoring the con
ferenceChina, Britain, the Unit
ed States and Russia want "col
lective dictatorship, that the same
totalitarian doctrine most of the
world has been fighting seems to
be the inspiration behind a new
world league." Then he added:
"They want to put free coun
tries under a new system of tutel
age." We have won the war and
should build the peace along the
same ideals," delegates quoted
Aguirre as saying, j -Senator
Steps la j,
Then, according to other dele
gates present Vandenberg stepped
in. The Michigan senator said he
agreed entirely with my able
friend that we have won the war
and that means the ' United Na
tion." i ; :
But, Vanjdenburg continued, "the
contribution byj big powers , was
more thanf Just; words. It was sub
stantial and cannot be' forgotten."
. He remarked that the large na
tions had the faith and confidence
of the rest; of the world when they.
were winning battles.
"Why is it now that wt are try
ing to wm the peace - that they
don't have the same confidence
and faith?," Vanderberg asked.
