More Money for Public Assistance
,- I- . - C' ' ; : '.r-: . . '
' The state public welfare commission last
week made public its appeal to the state emer
gency board for additional funds for public as
sistance during the winter months. The esti
mated requirements range from $850,000 to
$1,000,000. The money would come, according
to the nress reDortl from unexpended balances
earmarked for the public welfare
Presumably this money is needed prim
ly for what is called general assistance wnch
simply is cars of the destitute. So

assistance, that the public has little conception
of the needs ox those unaersoo wno are poor ana
out of work. We have many sucht persons and
families. It is for them primarily that the money
is asked. , '
: . While industrial employment ives some
promise of beingquite stable in the months im
mediately ahead (barring prolonged bad weath
er) unemployment will still be high, even
though lumber mills run more steadily, than in
1049 'For the labor Domilation has crown both
by immigration and by the increase coming from
schools as youngsters mature. Against these
gains would have to be subtracted the number -of
deaths and those retiring from employment
to get the total labor force. It is however larger
than ever, so unless employment increases there
is bound to be considerable distress. j
Then it is true that, many who would be
classed as casual laborers or farm workers did
not earn as much money during 1949 as in pre
vious years. Harvest periods were short, as in
bops. Canneries held their runs down to avoid
overstocking. Youth had more trouble finding
jobs and so run . short of money they ; need in
going to school. : ' :.
A few weeks ago the writer attended a con
ference of heads of local welfare agencies. The
common report was greater demand for help.
Each agency had to report its ability to give
assistance was limited. (If our Community Chest
fund had been raised they would have had more
money). So the only agency to turn to. is the
public welfare department, And from our know
ledge of conditions we can see where additional
funds should be provided for general assistance.'!
The federalgovernment does not share in
meeting the cost? of general assistance, though
It does on programs for the aged, the blind and
for dependent,, and crippled children. The state -and
the counties must bear the assistance load.
Unemployment compensation is now more
liberal and for a longer period of time, but it
does not cover farm workers or those working
in shops where fewer than four were emrjlov-
ed. The UCC load is heavy too. with 32.383 set
ting unemployment compensation
. This doling out of. funds is a hard land in
many ways a thankless job. The public which
puts up the money is spared the depressing con
tact with the poor, and easily may become
critical of their demands. While a great manv
of these people are thriftless others are deserv
ing; and in any event hye cannot let them starve.
We are confident the people of Oregon will
agree with Chairman Jack Luihn'av conclusion:
"As long as there are hungry people here and
the commission has 'the money, let's take care
of them." . i

Toughest Job for U.S. Waits in Asia
By James D.' White '"f
AP Foreign News Analyst
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. l-(ffK
Uncle Sam's toughest job abroad
this year lies In Asia. 1
Europe, compared to the
Orient, is relatively stable. It is .
far better off. Its people want
real change far less violently.
There are far fewer of them.
With congress about to recon
vene. American policy decisions
on Asia are .coming .toward the
surface. These decisions,
through success or failure, can
affect world history for genera
tions to come. .
Decisions will come hard for a
number of reasons. Asia is a
jungle of dilemmas. -Every time
American policy planners add up
' the arguments for a certain line
of action in a certain line of
action in a certain area, strong
arguments can be produced
against that very same fine.
Consider French Indo-China.
This French dependency has two
governments. One Is sponsored
by the French under Emperor
Bao Dal Last week the French
signed more power over to him. j
Yet if French troops should
withdraw, Bao Dai's government
mi?ht not last long against its
militant rival, the Vietnam re
public under Communist Ho Chi
minh. -
V What should the United States -do
in this case? As an enemy of
communism in Asia, it can hard
ly deal with a fellow like Ho.
Yet the French-sponsored al
ternative is so weak that it the
U. S. supports Bao Dal the policy
may bounce, as it did in China.
Bao Dai has something in com
mon with Chiang Kai-shek... His
government depends upon out
side Support. , 'f , "
the other hand construction costs for distribu
tion lines will be heavy, and Its bonds, issued
as revenue bonds only, draw 4 per cent interest,
which is quite a high charge for money either
for private or public utilities. Facing competi
tion from the established utility the city will
not be able to offer very substantial cuts in
power rates initially.'
Up at The Dalles the county PUP has built
lines in the heart of the city and is doing busi
ness in competition with the private company.
That again is wasteful competition.
If a city wants to go into the power business
that is its privilege, though with electric rates
as low as they are in thetnorthwest the attrac
tion seems limited. The pressures are political
rather than economic. Where a city or a utility
district does vote for public ownership of elec
tric distribution it seems both fair and economi
cally wise to purchase the existing system. The
municipality always has the power of cond em
anation which it can resort to if agreement is not
reached by negotiation.
Two electric systems in cities like Spring
field and The Dalles are foolish, involving
wasteful duplication of plant and overhead ex
penses. The consumers pay in the end. But why
precipitate the controversy for slight possible
advantage by voting for public ownership in the
first place?

Jailing the Parents
! Albany is following Eugene in enacting an
ordinance fixing parental responsibility for
juvenile delinquency. The neglectful parent may
be fined up to $250 or sentenced to jail under
'the ordinance. '
It is a common saying that thetparents are
the ones really to blame when kids go wrong.
Often they are. Few young people prepare for
marriage or for parenthood by any study of the
responsibilities they will assume in those rela
tionships. Perhaps the surprising thing is. that
children turn out as well as they do.
' But delinquency among juveniles isn't con
fined to those whose parents are ignorant or
neglectful or indifferent. Many a mother and
many a father grieve their hearts out over their
wayward children. They, try to discipline and
train them, but seemingly without success. So
neither Albany or Eugene will stop boys and
girls from getting into. trouble merely by jail
ing their parents. In fact such penalties should
be invoked only in cases where the evidence of
parental "responsibility for the child's delin
quency is clear. 'I ; !
' ' FEP has caught up with the -national guard
in Oregon and nine other states. Hereafter en
listment will not be barred to a person other
wise eligible, because of his race or religion.
After putting the. boot on employers not to dis
criminate in their hirings the state couldn't
very well hold color bars for guard enrollment. '
The new order of the governor and the adjutant
general should not cause any protest in Oregon.
Race relations here are not badly strained. v
now. I! ;
" PresldentTruman will give his "state of the
union" message to congress on Wednesday. Al
ready some preview glimpses have been offered
(cut in excise taxes to be balanced by other
revenues). Probably the message will be large
ly a reprint of his 1949 message and his 1948
campaign speeches; and ; will Araw the same

Bob Hope was No. one money maker in mo
viedom in 1949, passingiBing Crosby who held
the, spot for five years.' Shows how it pays to
be funny when you can make people think you
are fur(ny.,
Even the prompt American
recognition of the United States
. of Indonesia is not the air-tight
proposition it might seem. The
: Indonesians are new at running
their own affairs .and their
. country is in bad shape from the
war, four years of colonial war,
' and dried-up world markets. .
Red propagandists attack both
the Bao Dai setup in French In
dochina and the Indonesian gov
ernment at Jakarta as stooges of
colonial imperialism.
That brings us to the core of.
the problem of making an Amer
ican policy fortAsia. In the end
no policy will work unless it im-
Sresses Asiatics more, than what;
le communists, offer them.
.Asiatics are in a choosy mood.
They hate anything to' do with
imperialism and seem inclined to
buy any bill of goods labelled
"anti-imperialism."
Thre reds bf f er them a pattern
of nationalistic revolution under
communist leadership and con
trol Japan poses a dilemma too.
Yesterday General MacArthur
told the Japanese people they
had the right to defend them
selves but reminded them in the
same statement that their con
stitution prohibits t an armed -'
force. - j
. -With the American Joint chiefs
of staff planning to visit Japan
in February, what can the Jap-,
anese and other Asiatics think
but that America is hinting for
the job of defending Japan, even
after a peace treaty is written?
And that peace treaty there's
another dilemma. It is needed to
set Japan on her feet again
among the nations, but can it be
written either with or without
the "aid" of Russia and red
China and made to stick?
What would it be worth if it
can't be made to stick?
These are some of the ques
tions that U. S. policy planners
must try to answer during the
coming year, trying to balance
the merits of each situation
against the cold war and internal
American politics. t
,The answers probably must
come this year if the United
States is not to lose out in Asia.
Asia is restless, changing.
More than half the human race
; may not know where it's headed,
but it's on its way.

retracts purchasing and creates
problems for welfare agencies. ,
. In short, I think the forces of
deflation will gather strength as
the year advances; but that in
itself brings counterweighting
benefits: lower costs, lower
prices. Deflation will not be pre
cipitate because of regidities in
the wage-price mechanism and
because of war-accumulated de
mands still unsatisfied.
World Problems probably will
be less acute this year than for
recent years. The Berlin airlift
success brought a victory to the
west in the cold war. China will
continue to be a conundrum. It
is doubtful if the reds will try
to seize Hong Kong or Ameri
cans will use armed force to. fend
them i off of Formosa. Western
Europe will need . and get less
Marshall plan aid. Britain's eco
nomic condition will remain
pinched but no crisis is in sight
for 1950. Labor will win the
coming elections.
Domestic Polities will be ' in
large degree stage play for. the
November elections. The admin
istration will concentrate on its
long list , of uncompleted proj
ects, making the congressional
battles the basis of its appeal
to the country. The democrats
.next November will win control
of -the next congress, picking up
a few seats in the senate, and
losing fewer in the house than is
usual in a mid-quadrennium
election.
Oregon will remain republican
in the voting. Governor McKay
and Senator Morse will be re
elected, the next legislature will
have a republican majority.
The pressure of higher taxes
will put brakes on ventures into
the welfare state. Voters will be
more tax-conscious from here on.
Agriculture will again prove
rewarding thlugh not on the lib
eral basis of fhe war years. Farm
labor will ; be abundant and
farm wage rates lower. !

Aldington,
might better have been applied
to Audubon Societies than Au

his development of his ancestral
home, Walton Hall, in Yorkshire,
into a bird sanctuary. Waterton
himself might have agreed; if he
was attacked in his day by
"closet naturalists,' he did some
attacking of his own, and ranted
at Audubon as an 'ornithologi
