is a Job Creek In Baker county,

You Can 't Beat It
It there is anyone who still doubts the intrinsic
investment value of these Fifth Loan bonds here is
a suggestion.
Get in touch with the best and most trustworthy
investment counsel you can find.
Investment counsels are men who have made the
grading analysis and final classification of. invest
ments their life work.
Certainly if it is humanly possible to know the
actual long range worth of investments, then these
experts must be the "Supreme Court," must know
what they are talking about.
.
fK. We don't care who the final selection may
v be, if he is a reliable and experienced invest-
1 .1 1 1 i T L AT
ment counsel, mere is no aouDt wnaiever oi me
result.
These 5th war loan bonds, or any previous war
loan bonds. will be rated at or close to the very
TOP. And this is not considering security of the
investment alone, but security and rate of return,
BOTH.
Patriotism, war, everything else aside, merely as
a matter of self-interest, you can make no better
investment for yourself and your family than an
investment in these war bonds. So if you have any
spare cash, why not put that cash into these bonds
and do it now
You could by impartial and authoritative evi
dence, have your money in no safer or more profit
able place.
Should We Follow Russia?
There is a wide spread belief, particularly
among youngsters hereabouts, that Soviet Russia
has something no other nation has got, that tne
post-war world is going to be a Russian world,
whether we like it or don't.
The main cause of this belief seems to be the
marvelous showing Russia has made in this war,
as surprising as it has been a life-saver for the Allied
cause.
And of course there is no doubt that Greater
Russia WILL be one of the dominant nations of
the world.
But not as we see it, because it has anything
no other nation has, nor because its form of govern
ment is so superior to all other forms.
In fact, in spite of both.
EXCEPT in its huge numbers, its almost unlimited
natural resources, and the tremendous energy
released by the Bolshevik revolution, implemented
for the time being by a revived and militant nation
alism Soviet Russia is inferior to any of the other
dominant world powers.
Tn onifo nf trnlv mirarnlnuR nrnoress in the Dast
quarter century in the realm of industrial develop
ment, arrriculture and education, Soviet Russia is
alill far below the western world average in literacy,
material production, and its standard of living level.
. . . . .
IN fact' one of the delightful ironies of this pro-
Russian whoop-la now sweeping this country,
and other parts of the world, is this undeniable
fact: that while so many of our youngsters think
hev should co to Russia to find out the marvelous
magic existing there; Russia is staying awake nights
trying to find out the secret of Americas magic
ouch. and in literally a thousand dinerent ways
is imitating the American way of doing things down
to the minutest detail. Yes, when the rulers of
Russia are stumped in any direction especially in
industrial problems what do they do?
Thev send post-haste to get an American engi
neer to tell them how to solve it. And he TELLS
them with all expenses paid and a fat bonus.
fXR to express the same idea in another way. While
the new generation in this country wants so to
follow Russia and turn to the' left, Russians are do
ing everything in THEIR power to get their hastily
constructed social and industrial machine in the
Yankee groove and turned TO THE RIGHT!
And in this particular instance Russia is making
the wise decision the United States fellow travellers
are NOT 1
PENALLY, there is the matter of government, the
idea that Russia in its form of government,
whatever it is, has discovered a kind of magic
political formula which one of these days will be
adopted by the rest of the world, including America.
Because Russia started out to establish a com
munistic state there is also a widespread belief that
this great political panacea is communism.
News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Paul Mallon
WELL it ISN'T.
T T
Russia tried communism and then dropped it,
for the sole and simple reason that it didn't work.
And it couldn t be made to work.
What Russia has now is a kind of state con
trolled capitalism, under a ruthless one-man dicta
torship, but with special emphasis upon the welfare
and betterment of the Russian masses.
The spark-plug of capitalism, however, which is
the profit-motive, has not been abandoned. Nor have
class distinctions, though the latter have been put in
reverse, the former serfs are now in control, the
former aristocracy are the dispossessed.
Ann because the former always far outnumber
the latter, the system supported by such tremendous
man power and such a wealth of natural resources,
does, for Russia and the Russians, WORK.
But it is nothing idealogically to adopt else
where, and especially in this country. The Russian
course, from left to right, with the American
standard of living and industrial development its
cherished goal, PROVES IT!-
Washington, June 13 The un-
resolved conflict between the
four freedoms and radical ideol
ogies which is
apparent be
hind the con-
fusing political
news from
abroad Is also
conspicuous be
hind much do
mestic -news
and Interpreta
tion. The left
ists' Journals
are currently
campal g n i n g
for the Bever-
Idge proposed "way of life" in
Britain, with the critical demand
that It also be pursued here. They
think that Is what the four free
doms mean assumption by the
state of more complete author
ity over the lives of men eco
nomically, fixing their wages,
their employment, their secur
ity rather than encouraging the
individual to do it himself on
his own initiative. That is the
kind of peace and post-war plan
ning tney want.
But we have campaigned this
war through to a point near
victory on the basis of bringing
liberty ar.1 democracy for the
individual both here and abroad.
Is their thinking now not as
confused and as far wrong as It
was a few months ago when
they were campaigning for a
quart of milk a day and labor-
wage standards to be fixed
throughout the world?
WHAT Is liberty? What Is de
" mocraey? What Is freedom of
the Individual? If we do not first
decide that, how can there be
anything but confusion about
post-war planning?
To me. an individual enslaved
to a state economically by taxa
tion or otherwise Is no less a
slave than If controlled political
ly. In a dictatorship, his life Is
no more free than the conscience
and ability of the man who hap
pens to be running the state at
anv given time.
If he has a democratic form.
he is still no more free than by
whatever degree his president
and congress are free from dom
ination by minority class groups
and Interests. In the religious
sense, he Is not free If he is dom
inated by one world imperial
power.
The radicals see this, but this
part of it only. How can they
expect anyone to believe dom
ination brings economic freedom
when they see so well It does
not bring religious freedom?
They could nnt consider the
world pnlltlrnlly free if It was
omlnated . by one world Impe
rial power, at least no one else
would. Oneness domination nev
er yet has achieved freedom or
liberty or demi-cracy in any way.
Internationally or domestically,
the star of real liberty must be
I maintained as indispensable.
We must abhor collectivism
as an Ideal, and compromise with
it reluctantly and temporarily
only to the extent truly neces
sary to bring Justice to the Indi
vidual. We must abhor oneness dom
ination, totalitarianism, dictator
ships, and remember always that
an individual enslaved to the
state by any means whatever
will have no more liberty and
democracy than the fluctuating
goodness and Justice of that con
trolling force.
Men do not take well that kind
of power either as heads of
worids or any of the subdivisions
of society, including nations,
states, counties, cities or even
labor unions.

HAT we wou!d like to have
complete freedom for all
oeoples In all ways, economical
ly, politically, religiously. This
always has proved too Idealistic
i goal for the world to achieve
entirely but by whatever fur
ther progress we make in that
direction the peace will be suc
cessful. By whatever measure
we compromise it, the peace will
fall.
We were drawn deeper Into
what measure of collectivism
we already had before this war
only to meet failures. The Ideal
was not voluntarily epoused as
the propor way of life. It was
not what we wanted. It was what
we ;.ad to take. Entering the war.
we assumed the additional col
lectivism only for war.
Our course- In that direction
should be pursued In the post
war peace only to whatever ex
tent it will bring true Justice
to the Individual. The star of
lndlvldutl freedom should never
be eclipsed one Inch by collec
tivism as our ideal.
Our success In this war was
not .due to collectivism, but to
voluntary democratic co-operation
by all hands. To whatever
extent labor sacrificed Its rights
to strike It expects to get that
right back, and so with all of us.
Internationally we did not win
by collectivism either, but by
truly democratic cooperation.
One nation did not dominate the
military decisions nf how to pro
ceed with, the fighting. The
democratic way Is working well
against a nation which practiced
collectivism and preached sub-!
servlence of the Individual to !
the state. !

last fall and intended for
United States and allied prison
ers of war and civilian Internees
held by Japan, and to arrange for
distribution of future shipments,
according to information receiv

officials state that after the sup
plies had been shipped to Rus

resentative refused to caU for
them for a considerable period.
According to the Information

tion from the Japanese govern
ment was received by the U. S.
government May 10, through
Swiss government channels. The
offer was made by the Japanese
to send a Japanese ship to a
Soviet port at regular Intervals
to nick up relief supplies already
stored at Vladivostok and also
included a plan for distribution
of additional relief supplies and
mail intended for allied nationals
interned in the Far East which
would be sent subsequently via
Soviet territory. The Soviet gov
ernment has expressed its wil
lingness to cooperate, the article
states, and has named a conven
ient Soviet Pacific port where
the relief supplies already on
Soviet territory may be picked
up by a Japanese ship.
Relief supplies valued at ap
proximately $2,500,000 are now
in warehouses at Valdivostock,
the report states. Food, medicine
and clothing constitute the main
items trans-shipment to prison
ers and internees.

Vice-President Henry A. Wal

Novosibirsk, Central Siberia,
urged "close co-operation" be
tween Russia and the United
States now and after the war,
the Russian radio said in a
broadcast recorded by U. S. gov

"Just as during this war, close
co-operation of our two great
peoples and helr allies will be
the best guarantee for the suc
cess of their work," the broad
cast quoted Wallace as saying.
Fledges for such successful
co-operation between our peoples
are the fighting operations of
the Anglo - Soviet - American
troops in northern France, Italy,
and on the Soviet-German front,"
he said, according to the broad
cast.
