' Expansion in Soviet Asia The current Saturday Evening Post has an article on "Stal in's Mystery Cities of Siberia" by Victor A. Kravchenko, an apos tate from communism, who formerly held responsible positions in the soviet administration. The article relates the rapid ex pansion taking place in Siberia of heavy industries; steel mak ing, coal mining, railroad construction, petroleum development. Forced - labor gathered in great concentration camps does the work, according to the author. He also quotes soviet instructions issued in 1943 calling for converting "our Soviet East" into a "powerful steel fist, abundantly supplied with oil and prepared to strike, if necessary, like a universal joint, toward either the east or the west." It will occasion no surprise to learn of this development east oj the Urals. In the first place it is a vast and in places rich storehouse of metals, minerals, forests; thinly populated, ready for exploitation. Again Russia found in two wars the risk of having its industries exposed close to its western frontier. The invasion of the Ukraine forced the relocation of heavy in dustry far in the interior, in or behind the Ural mountains. She wants to be better protected in the future. Kravcheno's concluding paragraph is: Under the impetus of the second World War, and with the invaluable help rendered by American Lend-Lease, the produc tive might of the Soviet East has already reached a point which exceeds the Politburo's wildest prewar dreams. According to a recent official announcement, the rate of annual production at tained by the end of the war in the JSoviet East alone was 30.000 airplanes, 40.000 tanks and 120,00CT artillery units of all types and sizes. The completion of the current Five-Year Plan will vastly augment the war-making potential of the Soviet East at the certain cost of reducing Soviet living standards still fur ther, and at the possible cost of plunging the world into another ' war that the Russian people want no more than any other. But the Politburo's actions in the east, not its propaganda in the west, are the key to its real intentions. Undoubtedly this industrial development has a dual pur pose; production for internal use and for defense. The news of this expansion is hardly news, except as to details of place and extent, for Russia has announced the goals of its five-year plans. It would be surprising indeed if the USSR did not resume its march loward industrialization. Nor should we be alarmed if these new plants have mili tary values. After all, is not the United States still pouring considerable money into Alaska for perfecting its defenses; and doing military exploratory work in Arctic regions of Canada? Our country will insist that its purpose in all this is purely defensive, and Russia may easily declare the same intention. So lonj?, though, as mutterings of war between these two powers continue we must expect the military command of both to be alert to possibilities. Yet it may prove to be true that in its industrial develop ment Russia may fmd outlet for energies and means of satis fying the needs of her people so that military aggression will never materialize. Certainly such aggression would not be prompted by lack of resources within the country, for Russia is well supplied with natural resources unless it be petroleum. Soviet Asia has great potentialities, not only as a base for warfare, but also as a base for world trade. Huge quantities of goods went under lend-lease from northwest ports to Vladi vostok. If our countries become sensible there can be substantial volume of trade between them on a permanent basis, growing as relations become closer. Rubble in German Cities Royce Brier, one of the editors of the San Francisco Chronicle,, who made the recent trip to Europe with other America- newsmen, comments in his column on the enormous problem -facing Germany in disposition of the rubble in cities that suffered from bombing and artillery fire, as most of them did. The 'German buildings were of sturdy masonry and steel. Now they lie in ruins, either razed into heaps that spill over Into streets or tottering with unsafe walls. The -German people haven't the physical energy to handle this accumulation of stone and brick and twisted steel. They haven't the mechanical equipment to take care of it. and there is adjacent to the cities not enough wasteland for the hundreds of millions of cubic .yards of debris to be piled on. In conse quence, little or nothing is being done, save to clear the streets for traffic. Brier doesn't suggest an answer, but engineers surely can find a- way. Unsafe walls may be pushed in: steam shovels and trucks may be used to haul away the stuff; and big as the piles look in the cities pockets of the hills would surely contain them. Or it might be that, as in ancient times, the new buildings would be built -over the raina of the old, letting the former basements remained filled. The magnitude of the task will prolong it into the indefinite future. After all. Europe, including Germany took centuries for the building, and it will take decades for reconstruction. Ger many is prostrate now. but when its political future is cleared, capital should become available for the rebuilding job. Then the Germanscan set about the task in earnest. We only wish that deposing -of the ruin of cities were the chief problem for the new Germay. Senator Marshall Cernett of Klamath Falls claims to have lined uf the necessary votes to make him president of the sen ate in 1947. Of Marshall it may be said he will make a good looking presiding officer. Grant high of Portland won the high school football cham pionship for the state for another time on Thanksgiving day, defeating Hood River. The city dudes seem able to put it over the upstate farm boys. Pravda fcolds. a soviet tractor works for producing only 446 axles against a quarter's quota of 2000. Maybe the Russians re imitating American postwar production. Editorial Comment IN COMPETENT RETORTING To describe Walter WincheU's Sunday night reporting of the C-53 plane ciash ir the Alps as "incompetent" is arbitrarily to give him the better of the two possible alternative adjectives. If it wasn't Incompetent it was deliberately misleading. With hell, viewing the event from a distance of 3000 miles, de clared with the utmost conviction that the occupants of the stricken plane were "joyriding" at government expense "taxpayers' " ex pense, re took pains -to point out. Leaving this assertion to stand by itself, he easily accomplished the implication that the inexorable workings -of fate had overtaken this group which was playing fast and Jeoee with Uncle Sam's largess. The fact is just as a small amount of research would have established that the dependents of military personnel in the occu pation zones are transported to the zone at government expense by time-honored find perfectly legal custom: once there, they are trans ported about the zone, and in and out of it. necessarily by the same means They land at the government port of Bremen and whether they proceed to their destination by car, train or plane they go by government conveyance there is no other way. When they move from one city or one area to another they go the same way or walk. Whatever small amount of "sensation" extracted from this bit of radio journalism was accomplished at the expense of a little group of Americans who have just survived a desperately unpleasant ordeal arid who are innocent of any wrongdoing. It sometimes happem that good reporters lose a "scoop" by investigating the facts, and learning there is nothing to report It may not -be as fascinating as the other form of journalism but it is the only good. Jouraatiana! ( Saa - Francisco Chronic!. ) Frees Oar Cast temporaries aecr Note to Parents (Story also on page 1) Following is a copy of a letter sent Friday to parents of Salem high school .students in regard to membership in the long-outlawed secret societies: "Dear Mr. and Mrs. "Your son. t has com to the attention of th local School Board as-- a. member of on of the literal club organizations in the local senior high school. I am directed by the school board to advise you that since these organizations are Illegal under the laws of the state of Oregon, that soma definite action must be taken immediately in connection with your son and his membership. Under the laws of the state of Oregon: "35-33M Secret societies prohibited "Secret societies of every kind and charcter. including fraternities and sororities, so called, which may now or hereafter exist among the pupils of any of the public schools of this state, including high schools, either local or county, are hereby declared unlawful." "33-3505 Suppression of societies by boards "It k hereby made the duty of each school board within the state to examine, from time to time, into the condition of all schools under its charge and to suppress all secret societies therein, and for this pur pose such boards are hereby author ized to suspend or expel from school, in their discretion, all pupils who engage, in the organization or main tenance of such societies." Te Disceerage Organizations "The school board has and will corv timie to use every reasonable means to discourage and suppress such or ganizations. Since such organizations re illegal, and to the end that such organizations shall be . suppressed in accordance with our directive from law. the- school board directs me to advise you that your boy cannot con tinue to be a member of the Salem public schools and at the same time a member of such illegal organiza tions. The board therefore are pro viding three alternatives: (1) the boys with membership in such organization dissolve ; their organization; (2) an individual member may withdraw from such organization and give ac ceptable evidence of permanent with drawal; This alternative is not open to any boy already in violation of his written agreement relative to mem bership n such organization.) or (3) exclude himself from the Salem schools as of Dec. 7. 1M. "There is no desire on the part of the board to work a hardship upon any child, and whether there shall be a hardship must rest upon the choice of the student himself. We earnestly urge that you as parents use your good influence with other parents of boys of the same organization to cause such organization to be summarily and permanently dissolved and there by protect the Interests of your own child and further the harmony and food standing of our own city schools, 'ailing in this, your ton may. unless he is now in violation of a previous written agreement relative to mem bership in such organization, with draw from such organization and be continued in school upon acceptable evidence of withdrawal. Asks Students. Parents Confer "Students or parents wishing to confer on dissolution of their organi zation will discuss the conditions with the high school principal. Mr. E. A. Carletoa. If an arrangement can be arrived at which is acceptable to Mr. Carleton. such proposal will then be submitted to the school board for considerat ion . "Students and parents wishing to conger on withdrawal from such or ganizations will discuss the condi tions with Mr. Carleton who may act directly. If satisfied, or refer the matter to the school board. "Failure on the part of your son to meet the conditions of the first or second (if eligible) of these alter natives, on or before December S. IMS. will thereby have excluded him from the privileges of the Salem schools.. "In the Interest of your o. i boy. and the Salem schools, we ask your earnest and wholehearted cooperation In this matter " Cordially yours. Connell C.

Conceivably, unity may evolve though the more likely prospect is for continued dissen sion, with civil war pulsing its ebb and flow as it has for centuries. The United States is in a tough spot itself in China. It is accused of aiding the regime, as undoubt edly it has since the latter was the established government. Yet the United States does not want to be a partner in any civil war. We still have marines in China, though what their assignment is we hardly know. General Marshall remains there, evidently thinking his mission though frustrated may yet mature successfully. Is our purpose in China to foil Rus sia or to help China? Clearly our government has some hard ques tions to answer. In my opinion our government has been trying principally to aid China in its period of reconstruc tion. Our representatives have worked to avert civil war. As pointedly as they can they have urged governmental reforms, long overdue. In the end, however, the Chinese must run their own court try. I would think better of Chiang's retirement if the assembly were more representative, giving better promise of reorganizing the Chi nese government on .democratic lines and with greater efficiency and less corruption. It seems probable that China's travail will continue for a long period. Bates Urges Building Freed From Controls Private enterprise can do the job of providing houses for the nation better than government controlled public housing meas ures, in the opinion of Arthur E. Bates, secretary of the Salem Fed eral Savings and Loan associa tion, who addressed the Salem Board of Realtors Friday. Bates attended a recent national sav ings and loan association conven tion in the east. Speaking at the board's week ly luncheon meeting at the Mar ion hotel. Bates said that opinion at the convention indicated that producers of building materials would be able to produce more materials if present governmen tal controls were loosened. The savings and loans indus try has handled 70 per cent of all GI loans negotiated. Bates declared. The American Legion headquarters in Washington, D. C, Is expected to soon launch a program intended to solve or ease the veterans' housing and loan problems, he added.
