Orofron's home front victory was impressive, with a quota of $107 millionover-subscribed JACKSON County's record was Impressive, too. The treasury department asked for $2,280,000; we S3 5fi8 nnn. Six hundred thousand dollars in "E" bonds were Jackson County's share of the state's quota; smaller investors nere oougni ou.o per cent more than this amount. a a a . BUT periodical victories do not win wars. A firm kaonVlt-oal ATI T.IITlfin IB OTllV A Rtjlrt for MaC- UtUl.iiU1.(.V. v. mv Arthur's conquering drive for the big island. The con quering of France is a stepping stone on the road to Berlin. This war can be won only by sustained effort BOTH on the battlefield and at home. OUR war spending now runs about $270,000,000, while tax reyenue brings in only about $112,000,- 000. This leaves $158,000,000 daily which must be borrowed and the American ent source of borrowing, the greatest source of the nation's income, which simply means that the men and women with jobs must buy bonds at the rate of $158,000,000 a day if we keep the war going and our economy sound. This means, of course, that bond buying must become a regular habit, not just confined to periodical war loan cam paigns. s WITH this in mind, those who can buy E, F and G hnnria shnnlrl tint. rest, iinon their Sixth War Loan laurels but start that patriotic and thrifty habit at once. Jackson County's conservative quota for Janu ary, in these particular bonds, is $231,000. To date less than 30 per cent of this amount has been bought with only three days to go. This sudden let-down in bond buying here is deplorable and should be cor rected at once ! H.G. The War Veto Issue . a To the Editor: I We were interested in your editorial regarding the Dumbarton pact in your Friday's issue, as this group has been studying the matter. Haven't you overlooked an lm-. portant point In your criticism of the program as far as the Security Council Is concerned. It is our understanding that not only the five great powers you mention but six other ? lowers are to be members of this body and the latter not he former will hold the balance of power in any action taken. So if war were threatened the five great powers alone could not veto the use of force, the six powers could over ride them. T'S'G-, : (Name on file) We haven't the complete text of the Dumbarton agreement but we have issued at the close of the October meeting, ana assume that is correct. , Accordintr to that summary there is a Council of II members but only 5 permanent ones, the United States, Russia, Britain, France and China. And in case of a threatened war, to prevent which all peace ful means have failed, any decision to employ force must be UNANIMOUS. That is what we meant by veto. . Say 30 years from now France should decide to attack Spain because of boundary disputes in North Africa. Spain should appeal to 'the League Council to take action against France. This action could NOT be taken, unless France agreed to it What chance would there be of that I "THE Council does consist majority would rule in in the case of a war declaration. Can our correspond ent imagine a condition, even in the former case, where the permanent five great powers would be overruled by a combination of the six small and temporary ones? Only one of the latter would be needed for the five permanent powers to gain And look ,at the overwhelming force behind that permanent as compared with the temporary member decision I As stated in the Friday defect in the Dumbarton agreement, but it is, as we see it, a serious one which should be corrected. It Will Be No Picnic The approaching "Big Three" conference may well be the most important of to speak, is over. In previous conferences the defeat of Germany was the main topic, the ways and means. On this question, Britain, the United States and Russia were in perfect harmony, and anything any one of them believed would contribute toward this end was highly acceptable. BUT while Germany has not yet given up the ghost tic uaa uccii laiauy uuib, ctuu uiiuuuuwuijf uie end is now only a question of time. So the main topic at this meeting will not be how to defeat Germany but what to do with Germany and with Europe, AFTER that defeat And there the self-interests of the Big Three, especially the interests of Britain and Soviet Russia, will depart THE break over the fate ernment, and Churchill and Roosevelt supporting the provisional London government. Polish differences however will be nothing as seri ous as those regarding Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, the Iran oil fields, the complicated spheres of influ ence all over the Near and Middle East. And through all of them will run the thread of economic friction between British capitalism and Sixth War Loan may well by 46.9 percent. people are the only pres wage earnings are by rar the press, release summary of 11 members, and a other decisions. But not a majority of the whole. editorial, this is not a fatal all, for the honeymoon, so of Poland has already been Russian communism. Yes, we venture to predict no hearty toasts of vodka and champagne will mark the discussions when "Winny" and "Pal Joey" get on THIS portion of the agenda. 1XHERE will F.D.R. take his stand? "Ah there's the rub. President Roosevelt will be in one of the toughest spots he has ever occupied as far as these "Big Three" huddles are concerned. We can't see him opposing Churchill or Stalin on any important issue, and yet there is nothing more certain than that before this conference is over he will HAVE to do so regarding one or the other!

(U.B Prema ture logging of young growth in West Coast areas may threaten the future of forestry and opera tors should move at once to get on a basis of continuing growth, warns Emanuel Fritz, forestry faculty member of the Univer sity of California. Fritz told members of the Western Forestry Assn. of Drob- lems created by the sudden In crease In the industry's output in the past few years. He urged concentration on stands which are mature or over-mature and said the lumbermen of Califor nia, Oregon and Washington should be thinking of the days when their industry must be supported by new stands. Sustained Yltld "Sustained yield is only an Ideal," Fritz explained. "No lumberman will know when he has a sustained yield on his tim ber lands. However. It is an ideal that should be aimed for and approached as nearly as possible. But -neither the public nor the private forester will be able to say positively that this or that timber stand has a sus tained yield." Fritz said Public Law 273, living the U. S. forest service power to set, up co-operate tim ber stand ownership working to ward sustaining yield, "is a step In the right direction, provided the federal government doesn't use it to build up its own local power." He said one possible downfall in applying the act would be the private individual who will put less into the co operative agreement than he gets out of it Plastics No Cure-all Plastics will not be a cure-all for the Industry, although they have great possibilities, Fritz said. He said lumbermen must not lose sight of the fact that when they make plastics they are making a product which Is in competition with their own major project of lumber. He added that the steel and light metals industry are organized better than is the lumber in dustry as to research and mar keting facilities for new prod ucts aiter uie war. The pulp and paper Industry in Washington state has grown from a payroll of $4,855,528 In 1927 to more than $21,000,000 in 193. 18,000 GTS AIL EUROPEAN FRONT, FLOCKTO PARIS Half Involved In the Black Markets Arrests Triple Past Month Paris, Jan. 27 (U.B Between 18,000 and 19,000 American sol diers equivalent to one and one-half combat infantry divi sions are absent without leave in the European theater, mostly in this city, the provost mar shal's office disclosed today. The statement followed one by Brig. Gen. Pleas B. Rogers, commanding general of the Seine section, who placed the number at about 12,000 with more than half involved in Paris black market operations. Simultaneously, . Col. Ernest Buhrmaster, formerly London provost marshal and now of the Seine section, said., arrests in Paris had tripled in recent months. 'In London, 700 MPs took care of the situation," Buhrmas ter said. "We have . 4,000 in Paris although It is not as im portant a base as London was before the invasion. . He said the number AWOL was twice as high as before the invasion, but emphasized it was lower than during the first world war. 'Even more serious Is the channelization of crime among soldiers into gangs,'' he added. Black market operations are rife for two reasons, Buhrmaster said. First, the low exchange rate gives soldiers only meager pay while it enables them to ob tain fabulous prices in France for government equipment. Sec ond, acute civilian shortages have created a market for any thing the soldiers sell. EXLOSION KILLS JOHN BLAKELEY John B. Blakeley.

T aVatat aTasaai 1, Mhaa APPROVAL SENATE OF WALLACE HELD Democrats Maneuver For Peace In Own Ranks No Compromise Washington, Jan. 27 U.R) Senate confirmation of .former vice president Henry A. Wallace as secretary of commerce ap peared highly improbable to night. This appeared to be true re gardless of whether or not the commerce secretary Is permitted to hang on to the vast lending powers which have been exer cised by Jesse H. Jones. Senate sentiment against con firmation shaped up as a little band of democratic senators ma neuvered behind the scenes to persuade Wallace himself to take some step to placate his opposi tion. These senators have no Inten tion of voting for confirmation unless they are assured that the reconstruction finance corp. will be divorced from the commerce department. If It is, they said, they will vote for confirmation. That is the way they would like it to be, because it would be embarras sing for them to have to vote against their party leader's choice for the post. They have asked Wallace to send an emissary to the com merce committee which yester day voted against Wallace and for divorcement of the RFC or to senate leaders with the sugges tion that his nomination be held up until the RFC bill can be en acted. These senators, who never ob jected to the dual job of com merce secretary and loan admin istrator as long as Jones held it, said Wallace also might ask President Roosevelt to Inform senate leaders that he would sign the George bill taking the RFC away from the commerce department That Wallace would do either of these things did not seem like ly, however. One of the more articulate groups supporting him, the businessmen for Wal lace committee, declared today that he should get the commerce post with all its RFC trimmings. The statement was signed by James H. McGill of Valparaiso, Ind., chairman. ' But senator after senator democrats as well as republicans indicated in off-the-record con versation that they would vote against confirmation in any event. There thus appeared to be no margin for compromise. HURT IN EUROPE The war department an nounced Saturday that 1st Sgt. Clarence W. Taylor and Pvt. Thomas E.
