PAGE TW O THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1952 S O U T H E R N O R E G O N N E W S R E V IE W SCANNING THE WEEK'S NEWS of M ain Street and the W orld Hoover Revives the 'Great Debate'; Association Reports on Farm Labor GREAT DEBATE— Ex-President Herbert Hoover, In a m ajor radio and television address, revived the "great debate" and possibly an Important issue in the 1952 presidential campaign. The 77-year-old former chief executive expressed alarm at the "dangerous overstraining of our economy by our gigantic expenditures" and urged reduction in our arm ies as a way to cut down on spending. In stead of armies, he would have the country concentrate on highly mobile air and sea forces for defense. ’ In explaining his viewpoint, he said: "The first purpose of this repub lic must be the defense of this final G ibraltar of freedom—that is, the West ern hem isphere." Western Europe, he added, must be told that it must provide its own ground arm ies and that the United States will provide air and sea shields and munitions, all that the country can afford. For the home towners, who have been gravely concerned about the possibilities of war, the form er president had a reassuring comment. There is a lack of alarm in Europe because of a number of reasons. These included the fact the Russians could have conquered Europe before this if they wanted; that the Russians do not want to absorb any more nations now; that the Russians would be hard hurt in an atomic war, and that Stalin's first interests are in Asia at the moment. Hoover’s last m ajor speech was December 20. 1950. In it he criticized the adm inistration’s foreign policy and the handling of the F a r East con flict. In his latest address he again attacked the Korean situation by say ing "we denied ourselves victory" by not bombing Red China and using Chair.g Kai-shek’s armies. The ’’great debate" has been revived and it will become a growing issue as this presidential year progresses. And congress, now considering one of the greatest peacetime budgets in the nation's history, will watch closely for reaction to the form er president’s speech in the home towns of the nation.

NEWSPAPERS Use 60 Per Cent of World's Newsprint According to the United Nations’ 1951 yearbook, the United States used 60 per cent of the world’s news print in 1950, but was only seventh in circulation. The highest daily circulation in 1950, in proportion to the popula tion, was recorded In the United Kingdom with 599 copies for each 1,000 inhabitants. Australia had 455 copies a thousand; Luxembourg, 441; Denmark, 414; United States 357, and Switzerland 354. Those countries which have suf fered serious curtailm ent in news print supplies, especially England, have maintained circumstances by a drastic reduction in size. In Burma, India and Iraq there was only a circulation of six copies of daily newspapers per thousand population, the book reported. Forced Action Though "shortages were known to have existed in early 1951,” the report complains that "action In regard to the known Irregularities has had to be literally forced on the commodity office.
