The nation's press, in its war
headlines continues to refer to
Gen. Eisenhower as "Ike". No
kraut editor ever called Adolf
Hitler, "Ad".
Metropolitan Democrats are
mad at the Multnomah county
"registrar bill" passed by the
last legislature. They have not
yet asked Secy. Ickes, who has
not peeped in weeks, to say
something mean about the meas
ure, in a speech praising Bonne
ville Dam.
Valley pessimists fear there
will be no spring, and reel tne
same way about summer. There
has been no weather yet, potent
enough to make shade enjoyable
and cause people to mobilize for
a picnic,
This week is Sunday School
week. Most of the Older Genera
tion have attended, but only a
small minority of the crowd that
will fight the next war, can say
the same.
In the Coast league, the Port
land team is out in front, as far
as Gen. Patton's tank army, to
the amazement of everybody, in
cluding themselves.
Extemporaneous barking by
residential area dogs Is again
causing light sleepers to react
profanely.
TALE OF TWO CITIES"
"But Medford has a nation
al reputation as the source of
fine fruit, especially Cornice
pears. It is a thriving city,
which allegedly- does more
business by parcels post, than
any other town save Chicago.
Over the mountains is Klam
ath Falls, a rough and ready
town which illustrates to per
fection the American capacity
for achieving dilapl da t i o n
without achieving antiquity".

April, Page 402.)

Spare Clothing Needed
It Is a pathetic picture we are getting these days
of the people in liberated Luzon and the countries
that only recently made up the sprawling Greater
Reich. As United Nations forces have penetrated into
lands held in slavery by the foe they have found
intense suffering and despair on every hand people
threadbare with tattered
ed bodies disease rampant because of insufficient
clothing.
But this is the situation
It is hard to bring the facts
in comfort and security.

million men, women and children in war-ravaged
lands are desperately in need of these necessities of
life "will, we are sure, touch the hearts of every person
in this country of every American.
. . . .
THIS month, when attics, basements, closets and
trunks should be cleaned for the spring season,
is the time to dig up every item of clothing that can
possibly be spared and turn it in for the United
National Clothing Collection. The need is immediate
and great for mills and looms in liberated countries
have been idle and warm, wearable clothing stripped
by invaders.
IJERE is, indeed, a golden chance to do a good deed.
Here is a fine opportunity to make a real contri
bution to the cause of lasting peace, for through this
aid in the rehabilitation of war-torn nations can we
build firm friendships in other lands for years to
come.
IJERE in Medford. the
1 merce, with characteristic enthusiasm and energy
is conducting the drive, with generous support from
the city and county schools and local service clubs.
Receiving depots for clothing contributions have been
established at 33 South Riverside and at Sixth and
Fir streets.
THE sobering knowledge that spare shoes, clothing
and bedding in the attics and closets of Medford
homes can actually save lives should be all that is
necessary to assure a successful drive here. H.G.

"Dear Lord, Thv will be done"
For all the Joy Thy child shall

'IZVES1' LISTS
JAP AGGRESSION,
Moscow, April 7 (U.R) Japan
not only aided Germany in its
war against Russia, but was
"ready to gamble on German
cards," the official newspaper
Izvestla said today in pointedly
commenting on Russia's denun
elation of the Russo-Japanese
neutrality treaty.
Izvestia pictured Japan as a
potential aggressor against Rus
sia during the period of Ger
many's initial success and cata
logued a series of Japanese ag
gressions that began with the
Russian revolution of 1818.
"Germany's temporary suc
cesses over the soviet union
turned the heads of many Japa
nese politicians who were ready
to gamble on German cards," it
said. But the rebuff which the
red army administered at the
gates of Moscow and in numer
ous other sections sobered up the
hotheads in Japan.
"However. Japan's ruling mili
tary and political circles even at
that time developed the idea of
necessity to exploit a golden op
portunity and to begin the ma
terialization of their secret im
perialistic designs in the south
sea. leading to Pearl Harbor.
"During the most difficult
time for the soviet union, Japan
continued to strengthen her col
laboration with Germany, which
was not only of high political
significance, but constituted sub
stantial aid to Germany against
the soyiet union."
Izvestia said that even when
it became clear that Germany's
"adventure" was doomed to col
lapse, Japan did her best to aid
the reich. and under those cir
cumstances, the neutrality pact
became meaningless.
