We SOU Have That Chance ,
. The New , York Times' world 'survey of men-under-arms
brings out a discouraging picture of impoverished nations
spending great proportions of their budgets for a bewildering
arfaiy of already-outmoded defenses.
The newly-gathered military statistics show a considerable
parallel between the present time and the 1919-22 armament
race, but with one major variation military tactics of a quarter
ot a century ago left some hope that well-prepared smaller
powers might weather the onslaught of a major enemy ; now,
the ftanding armies of the weaker countries, no matter-what
their budget, would be a futile sacrifice for a scientifically
built machine of war.
And yet in many smaller nations, millions of dollars are
going for static weapons while the caloric diet of the nation's
citizens remains at -near-starvation levels. . , . .
The Times estimates that 39 nations are spending at the
rate of $27,400,000,000 a year to keep an estimated 19,000,000
men under arms. Biggest military spender is the U. S., although
China (with around 6,000,000) and Russia (probably 4,000,000)
have the largest military personnel. And that while millions of
China teeming population die needlessly of hunger and un
controlled diseases.
So far, the world seems bent on emulating the period after
World War I, with variations. But it still has a chance to veer
from tbe course of selfish nationalism which activated the seeds
of World War IL A chance and nothing more. But that chance
is our ray of hope.
Anyway, They're Punished
Tl A : - ,f " 1 f 1 1 A. A I -
inc sentencing oi njatmar ocnacni to eigni years ui a
labor camp completes disposal of the 21 defendants in the
major war-crimes trial of postwar Germany. It also gives new
point to the oft-voiced opinion that there was and is more
anti-nazi sentiment in Germany than' might be supposed.
Schacht was freed by the allied tribunal which found the
former reichsbank president not guilty on-all four war-guilt
counts. So were Franz von Pappen and Hans Fritzsche. But the
latter two later were sentenced by a German court and now
are serving eight and nine year sentences, respectively, at the
Regensburg camp. And now Schacht. will join them, by verdict
of his own countrymen who apparently did not believe his
story , that he had lauded Hitler so he would have a better
chance to sabotage the nazi machine.
The German sentencing of Schacht, von Pappen and
1 Fritzsche may have more influence in the crucial years immed-
' iateiy ahead than the allied punishment of those with records
even blacker. After all, it makes a difference which pot calls
' the kettle black, if the nazis choose 'to regard it that way.
Tourists ' No Dream .
If anyone has an idea the predicted influx of tourists is a
chamber of commerce dream; he has only -to ask the state high
way commission to find out he's wrong. Prior to 1947. the high
est number of out-state inquiries received by the commission
in any one year was 75,000. But for the seven months since
last October, the number totals 90,000.
of hamburgers to the availability of a home site on Mount Hood.
Tint all rtf tVim inrltrata a lren anrl rmwin cf inforect In thm rt-

Thousands of maps, folders and booklets regarding the
state are going to all parts bf the country from many Oregon
agencies, including the highway commission, chambers of com
merce, service clubs and promotional areas. And they are . being
sent in response to requests, not unsolicited and at random.
All of which points to a record crop of tourists and of
tourist dollars and to the need of preparing ourselves for
adequate reply to the many and varied questions well soon be
hearing first-hand from a myriad of drivers whom we should
discourage from "just passing through.
More Limits Off Building
Despite a rather widespread disregard of federal building
restrictions, many prospective home-owners have refrained
from starting a project in violation of law or directives. Such
are the folk. who will welcome the announcement that, in an
other move to, lessen existing limitations, the federal housing
adminiitration now will, approve building a home up to 2000
square feet under certain, rather liberal conditions.
The previous limit has been 1500 square feet, and with a
good many plans predicated on the so-called one-story, ranch-
house type of construction the smaller limit would hardly care
for a family of any size. ?
The building picture is not as discouraging as it was a

It is getting around to that timi of the year when fire, regarded
as "everyone's enemy," Is most likely to take the offensive against
our forest and other property.
The Fire Protection Institute in New York City announced re
cently that the 1948 fire "bill' for the United State was $600,000,000.
T, Innn. f i rtT-w ff f t ra.f i grh ti n 9 itnttwaa
double the fire loss 10 years ago.
The institute goes on to report an average of 27 people lose
their lives every day in-fires; that enough homes were damaged In
1948 by fire to equal 50 per cent of new housing for veterans.
With the coming of the dry season here, accompanied by fusty
winds, it would be time well spent for all of us to check our homes
to make sure there are no firehazardi. . Waste paper, oily rags and
other rubbish can be dangerous. Care with cigarets and matches
cannot be overemphasized.
We should make every week our own personal fire prevention
week. (Coos Bay Times.)
WE DKEAM O&EGON ACTS - ,
Down in Oregon, they're really going out after the tourist busi
ness. While Washington Lans talk about 'a $200,000,000 tourist indus
try, and the legislature chops off the necessary funds to develop
such a potential income, our neighbors .from the webfoot state are
actually doing something about getting their share, or more, of the
1847 crop of visiting dollars.
Tying in with the state's national j advertising campaign is a
special plan' to educate Oregonians on how to behave in front of
the expected horde of tourists.
About 25 schools, conducted by several Oregon groups inter
ested in tourist dollars, are in operation, and the students are service
station attendants, merchants, restaurant workers and hotel, lodge,
motel and resort proprietors. Tbe schools teach carefully planned
studies on what to do and see in the vicinity of each school location,
mileage -distances, road conditions and. what to see and do while
in Oregon. - .
Every effort U being made to make tourists feel at home in
Oregon. In the meantime, we here in Washington, with much more
to show visitors than ourtriends to the south, do a lot of talking,
cut off appropriations and dream of a $200,000,000 tourist industry.

schools. Comparisons are not ex
act because some districts may
effect economies by restricting
what the school has to offer.
Condi Uons would appear very
favorable for a union high school
In the Turner-Aumsville-Stayton
area. A network of good roads
serves the district so transporta
tion would be a simple matter.
The quesUon to answer is not
so much one of expense but what
will be best for the young people
who are to be educated in the high
schools. Local pride hates to give
up a local high school; but if a
better school is in prospect then
the sacrifice should be made. That
pride would then be transferred
to the high school of the enlarged
community and should grow as
people see it develop into a strong
institution doing a good Job in
training boys and girls.

Club Hears of
Game Fishing
Development

ber of commerce floral room.
Fifteen Oregon hatcheries raise
steelhead. cutthsoat. rainbow and
eastern brook trout for planting
in lakes and streams, according to
Halloway. With two million legal
size trout placed in coastal lakes
and streams this spring, another
two million fingerlings will be
planted in Cascade mountain
lakes this summer, Halloway said.
Halloway listed some of the
games activities as cleaning log
jams and natural dams and bar
riers out of streams to permit free
passage of fish; salvaging salmon
and other fish left in potholes
along coastal streams when they
recede in the spring; and control
of trash fish, such as chub and
perch, by seining and poisoning.
