"PREPARING FOR THE TOURIST"
Two of our iriends have been writing in tnuir newspaper
columns lately about Oregon's prospective tourist travel in
the period that will begin ut tno end of the war. Eacn,
Charles A. Wprague in nia Oregon Statesman and Malcolm
JEpley in his column in the Klamath Falls neraid and News,
was moved to write by remarks made on tne subject by Art
Kirkham, Portland radio announcer, in recent talks betore
chamber ot' commerce groups. Jilacn agrees witn tne Kirk
ham tnesis that mere will be a tremendous volume ot tourist
travel alter tne war. Sprague accepts more detimtely than
does Epiey the Kirkham thought that the state should under
take a major tourist promotion program. Each wonders
about the accommodations the tourists will find when they
arrive.
Epley says, for instance:
it is Ecnerally agreed that the end ot the war win release.
a flood oi tourist travel. People are supposed, timing this period
ot transport restrictions, to oe building up a huge uppeme lor
moving around and seeing things, and once the noldeis are oit
they will start doing that In such numbers as to uwari pre
war tourist statistics.
Tho west Is expected to benefit tremendously from (he post
war tourist rush, and Oregon will unquestionably get a big
shure of that. Art Kirkham, Portland radio announcer, told
chamber of commerce executives of the state in Portland the
other day that Oregon should be getting ready with a big lour
ist promotion program. He taiKeu In big Ugures when evaluat
ing the potential lounst crop, and urgea thai the people of Ore
gon overlook no bets in getting all 01 that business they can.
Wo are not concerned so much about the problem of getting
people to come here as we are about the facilities they will find
when they arrive. Outstanding accommodations will make
Klamath Falls a major stopping and visiting place for travelers.
Providing such accommodations is a challenge to our hotel and
restaurant people, and others who cater to the travel trade.
" Indications are that the business will justify improvements and
expansion.
And here are extracts from the Sprague column:
Very well, what are we doing to get ready for an enlarged
tourist trade? Of course new construction Is practically out. But
what planning is being done, aside from highway work? Who
see the vision and opportunity and are planning to erect modern
hostelries for tourist accommodations, convenient, with good
beds, AND good dining service? In the great fishing region of
tho McKenzie and Deschutes is there any resort of size that
has been built within the last 20 years? Or any planned?
Timberline lodge on Mt. Hood is the only Important venture of
the kind in decades, and that. was a WPA undertaking.
I agree fully with Art Kirkham that Oregon, can stand plenty
of lourist promotion; but before we beat too many tomtoms
we'd best be sure we can give our visitors go0"" treatment when
they do come, as come tiiey will.
The numbers will be large In any event. And I wonder 1C
we are prepared to take care of them. What we lack Is attrac
tive tourist hotels at our scenic spots. Along the whole stretch
of the Oregon coast there are a very few first class hotels for
example.
The reader will not fail to notice, we are sure, that each
of these good Oregonians thinks about our prospective visit
ors in terms of hotel and restaurant accommodations. What
will these visitors find, they ask, in the way of facilities for
housing and feeding the tourists that are expected?
Well, those are important items, in such' thinking and
planning as may be done for post-war tourist business nor
are the ideas new. The late Simon Benson, one of Oregon's
first highway leaders, often spoke of the importance of good

Clark had been sick and so stayed
with the boats while Lewis went

usual moments or hours ot Inde

fork. The work .of progressing
against the current was daily
growing more difficult because of

plans to meet other mountain

Missouri for a big hunt. Lewis

that there was a Shoshone woman

would be there soon. Well, that
was big medicine and he induced
the restless reds to linger until
Clark arrived at the eleventh hour.
What a sigh of relief Captain
Lewis must have heaved when he
heard the boatmen coming! It
had been a delicate situation. But
the dramatic climax came when

There is, however, one great 1 leiu in winch tne state can
operate a field in which public bodies and civic groups can
combine for the purpose of making and keeping Oregon aU
tractive to its visitors. Kirkham, Sprague, Epley each
takes Oregon scenic values for granted and so does every
body else. Is the state as attractive to the tourist, however,
as it was 25 years ago? It has better highways but what
about about the scenery? What about the roadsides'.' What
about the timber on the highways? What about the Oregon
coast?
For the most part the tourist's view of the scenery of Ore
gon is tho view he gets from the highway and it is hardly to
be denied that there has been a constant deterioration in
that view. Fires, clear cutting of timber, roadside advertis
ing, unsightly structures, slum municipal fringes, incongru
ous paint, the gashes of construction borrow pits all have
contributed to the destruction of Oregon's beauty.

San Francisco, Calif. When
the San Francisco conference is
all washed up and the United Na
tions charter is written, the key
question will become: "What is
to be the future position of the
United States In world affairs?
Without prejudice and without
conviction as to their Tightness
ui wrongness, some ot the possl-
uimies oi inis situation are worth
a close look.
It cannot be denied that manv
of the smaller nations will go
home from San Francisco disap
pointed in the stand which the
U. b. delegation has taken on
many of the more important .is
sues which have arisen at the con
ference voting, trusteeships, re
gional security.
There was a hope that the
United States would take a firm
stand as the champion of all small
nations, all oppressed peoples, all
the colonial territories whose na
tives want to be free of foreien
domination.
If the United States had taken
this position, it would have met
opposition from the British, Rus
sians and possibly the Dutch.
French and other colonial Dowers.
But the rest of the world would
have been united behind the
United States, and it is entirely
possible that the resulting combi
nation would have been strong
enough to make the other great
powers recognize its force.
The feeling that "the United
States does not know its own
strength" Is all too prevalent
among delegates from the smaller
nations. Their reliance on Roose
velt, which at one time amounted
to near-worship, is now lust a
memory. In its nlace is a much
more substantial resneet for the I
United States as a country. This
has been augmented by the 'trip
to San Francisco which revealed ;
the size, and the resources and
the unbelievably high standard of '
living wnicn the American people
enjoy. Now more than ever these I
delegates from the smaller coun-1
tries would like to see the United ;
States step out to assume world
leadership. t
The responsibilties which the
United Staes would assume by j
such acion twould obviously be 1
tremendous. It would put a bur
den of military guardianship on!
this country at a time when the
American people are sick and:
tu-ed of war. j
It is doubtful if American pub-i
lie opinion would for long sup-1
port a foreign policy calling fori
United States interference in the
affairs of other nations, even as I
a protector of the oppressed :
against exploitation. American
foreign policy will never be able j
to run much uhead of what Amer
ican public opinion will support.
The idea that the Truman or any :
other administration could step 1
out too far in front as a world
savior, imposing democracy even
where it s wanted, protecting any-;
body, any place, any time, is pre-,
posterous.
