The Register-Guard' polio u the complete and Impartial publication In Its news page, of all news and statements on news. On this psge the editors of The Reglater-Gusrd offer their opinions on events of the day and matters of Importance to the community, endeavoring to be candid but fair and helpful in the development of constructive community policy. Chamber Makes A Distinction So far the board of directors of the Eu gene Chamber of Commerce has refused to adopt any resolutions in support of the "revolt" at Grants Pass against "stop" orders on construction, They have discussed the matter thoroughly, and they have reached a rather interesting conclusion: "We will not lend the support of this Cham ber to lawlessness in any form. Protests? Yes! We will support the right to protest but not defiance of law." ; This distinction between "defiance of law" and "protest" is quite important. Ad mittedly the administration of CPA and oth er government control agencies has been very bad. But CPA acts under laws of Con gress and the Chamber's policy suggests obedience under protest. In other words the remedy is to get Congress to change the law. We think the position of the Chamber is very sound. Of course, the question might be asked: l "At what point does protest run over into . lawlessness and revolt?" There is always a shadowland between che two. In fact, we think it is overstatement to call the Grants Pass affair actual revolt. People did get together to defy law and re fuse compliance, and if this type of action were to spread it would become revolt. But, it had the atmosphere of dramatics rather than revolt. Federal agents still go in and out of Grants Pass without molestation. The alleged "crimes" will eventually be passed upon by courts. (And it is 'our hope that the courts will recognize the defiance as drama tized protest rather than serious revolt). "But what about the effigy hangings of Bonneville officials in 'darkest Florence'?" There was absolutely no defiance of law at Florence. There is no law which prohibits the lampooning assault on public officials for their PUBLIC acts (or failures to act). There is a marked difference between what happened at Florence and what happened at Grants Pass. At Florence no law of the land was involved; at Grants Pass, it is the law and not just the public servants that Is attacked. "How is the defiance of stop orders at Grants Pass different from bootlegging defiance of prohibition some years back?" There is no difference. There, is an abso lute parallel here. True, prohibition was flouted, just as any unworkable law will al ways be flouted. It would be hard to find any Chamber of Commerce member who could say truthfully that he never violated the prohibition law (just as we suspect it would be hard to find any Chamber of Com merce member or anybody else who would not do a little 'hunching' if he had a build ing to build under present absurd conditions). But even under prohibition, good citizens did not go round advocating mass violation of the prohibition laws or seeking to prevent the prosecution of the gangsters and boot leggers. Good citizens do not advocate mass revolt aeainst CPA or OPA. They shout their heads off for repeals and reforms. The Grants Pass episode is simply drama tic protest, not actual revolt. The famous Cavemen and other characters of the Jose phine County metropolis have rung the pub licity bell again. They have called attention to a bungle, and we suspect they have had a lot of fun doing it. The Eugene Chamber has chosen to keep its head and make a very nice distinction by standing clear. SOCIETY, WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS By ANN CONNELL WASHINGTON LETTER By PETER EDSON Register-Guard Washington Correspondent New German Occupation Policy WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (NEA) U. S. State Department directives on policy to be carried out In Germany by Generals Joseph T. McNarney and Lucius D. Clay are now being completely revised, and will be announced soon. Effect of the changes will be to rewrite com pletely the directive known as IPCOG 1067 the Informal Policy Committee on Germany's General Staff memo No. 1067, approved In April, 1945. Gen eral Eisenhower carried these orders into Germany after V-E Day. They laid down the policy which U S. military government authorities were to fol low in the American zone and in the Allied Con trol Council in Berlin. IPCOG was disbanded a year ago. It was suc ceeded by SWNCC the State-War-Navy Co-ordinating Committee of Assistant Secretaries in those three departments. The job of rewriting 1067 has fallen on SWNCC, under the chairmanship of As sistant Secretary of State John H. Hilldring. Ten-sixty-seven, as it was known, was originally a negative set of orders. It told what should be done to de-Nazify Germany, do away with Nazi laws, wipe out the German government for a new start, reduce the German war potential. All those things have now. been done In the American zone.In addition, there have been free elections in the three Laender, or states, making up the U. S. occupied area. Democratic governments have been elected from the smallest political unit upward. State constitutions have been drawn up and will soon be submitted to the voters for rati fication. Recent Developments Dictate Change On top of this, there have been a number of im portant economic developments in Germany. The four occupying powers have agreed on a standard-of-livlng level for Germany, based on annual steel production of 5,800,000 tons--about one-fourth of Germany's prewar output. The U. S. and British zones have been unified the first step toward making Germany self-sufficient France and Russia are expected to come into line gradually, thus removing all trade barriers between zones. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes has made three Important declarations on American aims in Eu rope, changing government policy as the situation in Germany has developed. The first of these was a statement of last Dec. 12 on Germany's peacetime economy. It set forth these four principal objectives: Increase the export of coal to liberated areas. Settle the German reparations question. Set up uniform and central ized control of German finance, transport, and communications for all four of the occupied zones. Prevent mass starvation in Germany, during the past winter. Other developments which have made necessary the changing of orders given the U. S. military government authorities in Germany include two recent speeches by Secretary Byrnes. Byrnes' Speeches Outmode No. 1067 Before 150 German officials at Stuttgart on Sept. 8, Byrnes proposed that Germany be reunited tinder a provisional central government with which a peace treaty could be negotiated. On Oct. 3, before the American Club in Paris, Byrnes made another speech on U. S. foreign policy in which he brought forward again his pro posal for a four-power treaty guaranteeing the disarmament of Germany for 40 years. These are the public declarations which have made necessary a revision of IPCOG 1067. Not maae puDiic are a number of cables from the State Department to General McNarne-,, directing changes in policy as new situations have arisen. All such orders are now being reviewed. A com pletely rewritten order to the Armv in EnrnnA nfii result, to govern the American zones until the next " , . oeveioping a peaceful German nation Is called for.
