We note that Drew Pearson and Paul Mallon, two of our favorite columnists are speculating about war between Soviet Russia and the United States. That Is mischievous or if you prefer VICIOUS nonsense! Differences do exist, and this department certainly has dwelt upon them, for they have been highlights of this" conference. But WAR? Either now or in the near future? Absurd, ridiculous! We are convinced tha last thing In the world Soviet Russia WANTS Is sny more war. She has had enough to last her for a very long time. She wants peace because it Is to her SELF-interest to have peace, and reconstruction. This Is so true that we have our "dou'ts" she will ever Join the United States and Great Britain In the war against Japan. And certainly as soon as Japan has been knocked over this coun try will want no more war, first place. It was forced upon us, first So why even HINT at war? It can harm. The situation reminds your fight, ones witnessed. The two they had no particular grudge combative. So their owners took them heads against each other, pushed about, until their primitive instincts of self-preservation had been properly aroused and then, of Well a similar situation MIGHT States and Soviet Russia, for there is no doubt of their conflicting ideologies and politically speaking, conflicting interests. There is also no doubt Soviet Russia is suspicious of the "greatest capitalistic country in the world and we are, of the ' greatest communistic country ' in the world. But unless there is some such gether artificlpl war stimulation, there will not be war in this generation between the Soviet Union and the United States. For basically the causes of war do not On the other hand those who manipulation, agitation and artificial stimulation, have never ex amined carefully into the genesis between Spain and the United states! That war was manufactured by manipulation as certainly as the aforementioned. Mexican cockfight. a How quickly times change! Less than a week after the the Ht. Rev. Dionlslye of the Serbian Orthodox Church,, from the pulpit of the Church of St. John in this city, appealed to the people of San Francisco and the delegates of the Peace Conference to aid In freeing his church from persecution by the "Tito dicta torship" in Jugoslavia!

That ought to help H. G. and his co-workers. R. W. R. Education As Bibion Talks By Refer W. Babtoa Babson Park, Mass. (Special Correspondence.) Now that V-E Day has occurred, the many G.I's who will return to civilian life, will be anxious about veter ans' education. They can be as sured that their problems are being given deep thought. Both government and school author ities are conscloua of their obli gations to returning soldiers. They are equally conscious of th help needed from service men for continued promotion of world security. In that spirit may I offer word to service men. Mere Information vs. Real Eduealioa Education is every man's top Investment. However, let us be specific. You may think that all you will need is Information; but Information Is not Educa tion. Information is merely th raw material. The finished pro duct la development of your brain. For $10 up you can buy a dictionary which will inform you on every wofd ever uttered by the master minds of all ages. For $125 or up you can buy an encyclopedia which will In form you of every fundamental Idea known to date. Both a dictionary and an en cyclopedia are blue-chip, gilt edge investment. I heartily rec ommend them. They put Into your possession more informa tion than any man or woman could digest In thousand years of dally study. However, you will not find among the pages of these or any other reference book many stock dividend checks or bond coupons. Character Important In Applying Learning Words and even Ideas are only scratches on the brain until you develop the mentality and character to apply them. Mental ity Is what enables you to con vert Information into action. Character is what enables you to do things you don't want to do when you don't want to do them, a most important re quirement for health, incomt and happiness. Another great asset which most young people and many I adults lack is i Philosophy of we never WANTED war In the by japan and tnon By uermany. do no good and might do serious correspondent of a Mexican cock' game birds did not care to fight, against each other.

None goes none of the peace reports and few believed them. Then Nazi rats were trying to escape An Investment to Adults Life. As sea captains need to know the port for which they are heading, so students should have a program, purpose and goal. Until then we should never be given diploma. Renewing One's Youth Through Education "Going to bed mentally" is the best diagnosis of malady which besets too many investors and businessmen. It Is what hap pens when the maturing mind meets current doubts and dilem mas. A busin e s s m a n may "retire" in the sense of going to bed mentally when ha gets into a tax row with tha govern ment, quits under fire, and goes AWOL from active life. Discour aged investors or executives really need a good dose of adult education. It brings rejuvenation and restoration, the new dis covery in the old quest for the fountaln-of-youth. To regain that schoolboy feeling, go again to school. All of us, soon or late, are at a spot where we must go ahead or fall behind. The choice is to sit down, die down, and do nothing, or begin the repair and modcrnlintion of outworn and run-down brains. That may not be professional therapy: but it Is extremely practical advice. Invest In mental stimulus. No stock or bond, no real estate, savings account, nor Insurance can safeguard (1) Character, 2 Health. (3) Income. These "big three" are th fruit of education. "Diplomas' Mean Lest Than "Dog Tagt" Under the administration of political-minded school boards, the public educational system is corroded and rusty. Wayward parents are accessories. A gener ation of youngsters Is Sloppy Joe in apparel, deportment, men tality and character. "Gradua tion" has lost Its meaning. Once th word implied a step forward, not halt in education. Th whole educational system, from CAMPBELL'S MILK PASTEURIZED of RAW Grade A at your fsvorir Grocer, or 'phon 4190 pre-nursery to post-graduat, needs reform. It is the new ground however, the fertile fields of adult educa tion, which beckon most happily. Adult education appears at pres ent to hold out the optimum chance - of maximum progress. Children, by nature, are some what superior "sponges", nim bier learners. Adults, by very definition, are far superior in spirit and the will to learn and achieve. If you cry No! to this claim, thereby you add on more condemnation of our educational system. For what Is the purpose of education and of life it3elf, If I today am nowise superior to the child I was? Flight o' Time Mediord and Jackson Co.

SWEM'S Book and Gift Shop PEACE AGITATORS JAILED IN JAPAN; FREE MIKADO KIN (Bv United Prsss) Japanese Procurator General Namisuki Nakano has called for the arrest of "peace agitators," the Domel agency said today. The dispatch, recorded by the FCC, quoted Nakano as telling a meeting of presidents of the courts of appeal and chief public curators that: "The growing critical altua tion of the war had led to a tendency toward peace agitation and speech on critical matters in a portion of the populace. . . It is impossible to repulse the enemy outside Japan if there is no perfect unity within Japan." The dispatch said he called for arrests in the case of "any speech that might cause dis order in th national unity." London, May 22 (U.R) The London Daily Express reported today that Prince Yasuhito Chi- chibu, pacifist brother of Japa nese Emperor Hirohito, has been released after two years "honor able preventative detention." . A Bern dispatch of the Ex press said the Japanese legation there had been informed of Chi- chibu's release. It added that Japanese quarters were stirred even more by the news than by Germany s surrender. Chichibu was said to have been interned for trying to us his influence with his brother to prevent war between Japan and the United States. He was said to have been so successful that Japan's war lords went through with the Pearl Harbor attack to force the Mikado's hand by put ting mm in the position of losing face if he backed out of the war.

The rate reduction Is being made in order that electric rates in Crescent City and Del Norte county conform with the lower rates effective in the other ter ritories served by the Califor nia Oregon Power company. The rates, which officials of the company say are among the lowest in the nation, will reduce the electric bills of customers in the territory from 26 to 60 per cent, depending upon the amount of electricity used. The company announced plans for the building of a transmis sion line connecting Crescent City with the California Oregon power system and extending service to other communities in Del Norte county. Application has been made to the War Pro duction Board for permission to carry out the program. Electricity for Crescent City is presently supplied by a diesel plant. The construction of the new transmission line will re sult in better service and will assure adequate power for the fullest development of that area. It will also-make electric serv ice available to the communi ties of Smith River, Fort Dick, Idlewild and Gasquet, as well almost 200 farms, summer homes, and auto camps not now being served.
