Teachers Needed
An urgent call for extra teachers to serve in Jack
son County schools for the remainder of the year or
for substitute work, should not go unheeded by those
who can tmalifv. Shortage of good instructors is a
real problem in schools here. To add to the worries
of school officials, illness Keeps a certain percentage
nt teachers awav from dutv at this time of the year.
Those who have taught in any state under state
certificates, those who have "live" state certificates
at this time, and young men and women within one
year of graduation from a college or normal school,
can qualify for these important school jobs here. In
the latter case, an emergency Oregon certificate will
be granted. Actual pre-graduation experience will
prove highly usetm to college ana normal scnuui biu
dents. UNFORTUNATELY, education is not a kind of
nnntamnn which a student might "catch" if he
could be in the same room with it It is important that
rtto liio-h ntnnHard of Jackson County schools be main
tained, a goal obviously impossible without a suffic
ient number of able teacners.

EDUCATION is an important phase of national se
curity. The Army and Navy well know this fact
during this war. They have been shocked by the Utter
lack of satisfactory education on the part of thou
sands of supposedly "educated" young people. It has
meant the establishment of an emergency educational
system of monumental proportions to impart useful,
practical education to those who have merely' been
"exposed" to it before. '
Thus, we cannot slacken for even a brief time, the
Afficipncv we have had in our schools here. Those
who can qualify for either regular or substitute teach
ing should contact the county school office in the
Courthouse building without delay; This is a valid
wartime job; the work will

It seems incredible now, but nevertheless it is true

United States to join the League oi Nations, an re

that the League would mark a new epoch in . Europe

The truth is that even then the seeds of a Second

GENUINELY educated people both abroad and in

no attempt by the governments in power to inform

entanglements, an action of justified : self-interest;
which would in no material way effect Europe, and
certainly could not by any stretch of the imagination
cause in 15 or 20 years, the most terrible war in all
human history. And a war in which this country would
be tragically involved.
I7HY? Essentially because of the lack of educa-
tion and especially' in the direction of human
behavior and foreign affairs.
Not that any form of education is going to make

Inference Drawn That Creek
Trouble Rises From Well
Oroanlsed Radical Minority
Washington. Dec. 14 It is
difficult for officials to say ex
plicitly what caused the trouble
in Greece, yet
the inner evi-
dence here
plainly sug
gests the. pur
pose of the re
volt. It is re
ported through
subterran e a n
official a v e
nues of com-
munl cation
(army men and
senators have
heard and be
Paul Mallon
lieve it) that a Russian colonel
was discovered among the revo
lutionists, giving them military
advice if not leading them. Also
the firing began immediately
after the prevailing Greek gov
ernment had attempted to dis
band the guerrilla forces in
in which the communists were
a strong and armed element.
e e e
FtOM these and dovetailing
Unnilln fanie s aan.ral .tnn-
munists were struggling to get
control of the- remaining Greek
armed forces, and maintain their
own arms. They were adequate
ly represented in the govern
ment. Two communists were in
government seats of power.
three other radicals favoring
them had important posts, but
they lacked control of the mili
tary.
Not more than '5 per cent of
the Greek electorate is commu
nist or radical. The bulk of the
population is small farmer.
Leftists, however, control the
railway unions, the street rail
wya employes and such small
but highly organized city
groups and they wield an In
fluence far beyond their demo
cratic power.
N Italy the communists were
1 kept from cabinet posts where
they might do the most dam
age. War, foreign affairs, edu
cation, aviation, treasury, etc.,
were imea Dy liberals, labor
and Christian democrats. The
communists got a vice-premiership,
occupied territories, fi
nance (distinct from treasury),
and agriculture. In Yugoslavia
the communists are taking ev
erything, with Tito in control
of the army, -the reds Alongside
mm and Mitiauovjch retreating
westward over the mountains
of Bosnia. Not much news has
come from Romania or Poland,
where both censorship and con
tusion are In operation. But the
prevailing- communists have
again excluded four of our offi
cials from Bulgaria. .
t . e e e '..; -j
DUT do not these facts pre
sent in stark simplicity the
problem of Europe, even includ
ing Belgium and France?
The questions raised are; Is
it possible to reach agreement
with communists on the divl-
sion of democratic power? Does
not tne very nature of the communist-radical
cause prevent
inem from co-operating sin
cerely in democratic govern
ment? Is there not a new rav
of light for democracy rising
irom wese troubles? Would anv
country in Europe go commu
nist it tne people were allowed
an election free from the influ
ence or Moscow as well as Brit
ain? Are not the communist
radicals merely highly organ
ized small minorities? Are they
really not (getting from negotia
tion more power in their gov
ernments than a free, election
might provide them? But is it
possible to hold an election free
of Russian - and' British influ
ence? If It Is impossible must
the world not fall back neces
sarily Into' spheres of Influence'
with some for Russia, some for
the British, some for us?
certainly events are maklnir
the troublesome elements In
creasingly plain, and as long
as people can see what the prob
lem is, mere is a chance of solu
tion. '.. "

proposals for post-war military
conscription as part of "the war
minded philosophy of power pol
itics that has produced two
world wars."
The committee, composed of
32 lay and clerical - members,
labeled conscription a symbol of
militarism and exaggerated na
tionalism . and said it involved
an enormous waste of human re
sources. , '" ''.
"America's new position ,in

A congressional committee now
studying charges that the Gallup
poll had been used to influence
the elections sought an explana
tion today of why the poll did
not follow its samplings and
publicly predict that President
Roosevelt would carry New York
state.- .
Chairman . Clinton P. Ander
son, D., N. M., of a house cam
paign expenditures subcommit
tee, said Ihis question and others
remained to be answered before
the group completed its report
on the poll. The subcommittee
visited Dr. George W. Gallup,
director of the institute of pub
lic opinion at Princeton, N, J.,
earlier this week.
Anderson said Gallup was "in
genious" and that he personally
was surprised at the -apparently
accurate deductions that could
be drawn from small samplings
and a study of historical data.
But the chairman said he still
wanted to know:
v. "Why did Gallup say Just be
fore election that Gov. Dewey
would carry New York about
50'4 to 49? per cent when his
area samplings pinpoint samp
lings, he calls them showed
that President Roosevelt would
carry, the state by 52 to 48 per
cent, the, percentage by which
Mr. Roosevelt actually did carry
tne state?'.' -
Anderson said that before a
final report is made public
around the first of theyear, the
committee will have a detailed
statement from Gallup giving a
more detailed explanation of his
procedures than the committee
learned on its visit to Princeton.

Wells, writing in the left wing

attacked Prime Minister Win

demanded that he resign imme

, "In the midst of a still uncer
tain war, this ineffable prime
minister of ours has precipitated
us into a class war and on the
wrong side," Wells wrote. "If
we do not end Winston, Winston
will end us."
Wells said Churchill lost his
head completely and Is leading
Britain with an ideology that is
a "pitiful jumble of incoherent
nonsense."
He charged the prime minister
with being completely out of
step with the times.
"A Boy Scout is better equip

his purpose and -it is high' time
he retired upon his laurels be
