vv And we believe it is
background, that very little is heard of hly Lulbert
son's "Fight for Total Peace, Inc." and his efforts to
have same adopted by the San l rancisco conierence.
For the plan, as we see it, has a great deal of merit

Mr. Culbertson held one

baker's dozen attended, and as far as we could deter
mine, not one of them wrote
THERE would have been something in this paper
if the M.T. representative had not been side

sense, but well, "probably jusi a puoncny sium,

And the papers man t.
WHY, except on the assumption noted above, we
have thus far failed to make out.
Had the plan come from a less eccentric and more
authoritative source instead of from the fertile mind
of an ex-hobo and former card sharp, this department
is quite certain, it would have been given serious con
sideration by every individual or organization, genu
nely interested in the maintenance of world peace.
Will It Be Adopted?
Bv the above we do not mean that had the Culbert
son plan been given wide publicity, there would have
been any better chance than now exists, of his pro
posal being accepted.
For, as has been observed in this department for
some time, the document that will eventually appear
from the San Francisco Conference can't, under the
circumstances, be anything but a WAR document.
IT will represent a perfectly sincere effort on the part
of the 60 nations represented, or at least a major
ity of them, to devise a covenant that will prevent
anv repetition of such a monstrous horror as is still
going on in the South Pacific; but it will be a product
of war psychology including its hatreds and its fears,
and will be directed especially against the recurrence
of a situation that, with the destruction of both Ger
many and Japan, will no longer exist
It is simply futile, therefore, to expect anything bet
ter from this San Francisco gathering. And as stated
the Culbertson plan at least as we view it, is def
initely better.
DUT imagine if you can, Soviet Russia, or the U. S.
u Senate, agreeing to a covenant that would give
an independent authority, an authority independent
of the members and particularly the 5 Big Powers,
as NATIONS, but not of the "Intel-national Teace
Authority" as the executive power of the League
itself, the power to take military action against any
aggressor including themselves?
Or imagine either of them, or any of the members
for that matter, agreeing to limitation of heavy
armaments?
The memories of this war, and the mistakes follow
ing the last war, are too fresh in the world conscious
ness. A ND jTt again as the piesent writer sees it,
unless some action of this sort IS taken, unless
the wise advice of Dr. Soong of China to voluntarily
modify national sovereignty is followed, the charter
to come out of the conference will contribute to the
peace of the world ONLY so long as the 5 Large
Powers, WANT it kept and are willing to use their
military and naval forces, to keep it.
And unless this war has created a New World,
unless the future divorces itself completely from the i
pattern and habiU of the past, this will not be long, j
CO what? . !
That all these weeks of hard work at San Fran- j
cisco will go for nothing? Will only another pious
gesture and another "scrap of paper" be the result?
Not necessarily. For as the charter is now drawn

Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member of Congrats From Oregon
NEW CABINET MEMBERS.
The sudden reorganization of the
cabinet by President Truman
created, as you might guess, con
siderable of a stir here. The re
action to the selections made was
generally favorable. I am not
personally acquainted with
Judge Schwellenbach, new sec
retary of labor, or Tom Clark
who will be the new attorney
general, but I have known Clin
ton Anderson since I have been
in Congress, and admire and re
spect him. He is a sincere and
competent man, and I am certain
will make a fine secretary of ag
riculture. Anderson, who has
headed the House committee
which has been investigating the
food situation, has a fine back-
ground and knowledge of the
food problem. He knows the
necessity for eliminating some of
the overlapping and conflicting
agencies and sub-agencies which
have served to confuse the hand
ling of the war-time food prob
lem. As a first step, the War
Food Administration will be
placed directly under him when
he becomes secretary of agricul
ture, and I think it Is safe to pre
dict that other consolidations and
eliminatl ons of unnecessary
agencies will follow.
e e
I have just received a report
from the War Food Administra
tion which is labelled "A Sum
mary of the Food Situation," The
first paragraph of the letter
transmitting this report to the
members of Congress reads as
follows:
"Prospective food supplies
will be more than adequate in
all parts of the United States
to meet all essential food
needs."
That sentence, by the way, la
quoted from the letter by Marvin
Jones, food administrator, as be
ing the conclusion reached by
the Agriculture Bureau of Econ
omics. I suggest you clip out this
paragraph and read that sen
tence again three months from
now. There is nothing in the
current food outlook, as seen by
the members of our (food study
committee, which would justify

EVERETT DIRKS EN RE
PORTS. My good friend, Con
gressman Everett Dirksen of Il
linois, has just returned from a
three months' trip around the
world. I heard him give a splen
did two-hour report on his jour
ney to the republican members
of the House in an off-the-record
session. I have also heard some
of his private discussion of his
observations. Dirksen is not only
a fair-minded man, but is a very
competent observer, and brought
home numerous documents and
newspapers, and other tangible
evidence to back up statements
that he makes.
Two of his observations stand
out above all of the others. One
was his description of the State
Department operations through
out the world, with the conclu
sion that the United States is at
tempting to operate such offices
too economically, and that our
representation is not generally In
keeping with our actual position
in the world. The other part of
his report which impressed me
was his description of UNRRA.
He found inefficiency and mis
management prevalent in this
important relief organization.
He told congress, "It is my set
tled conviction that It is impera
tive for congress to review and
re-explore that whole operation.
I have a lot of facts in my note
book which I could relate, but I
will only give it to you as my
considered Judgment that it
(UNRRA) is not doing the job
which we intended."
Almost immediately following
Dlrksen's report, the President
had a conference with former
President Herbert Hoover. Mr.
Hoover has had more experience
in international relief adminis
tration than any other living
man. His knowledge and back
ground have never been utilized
during the war emergency. A
great many people here in Wash
ington, and I am one of them,
hope that Herbert Hoover's
knowledge, experience and abil
ity will be put to use.

WHY DOGS BARK
To the editor,
To the party who suggests that
I attempt to stop the church bells
and sirens. These ring occasion
ally for a purpose. If they rang
continuously for no reason, they
would soon be stopped by an in
dignant public. To this same
party and the one who sent me a
ietter concerning the city dog
tying law I wish to say that it
was not many years ago that a
dog that roamed from his home
premises, was considered a tramp
and no good.
Any dog with a minimum of
training will not leave his home
premises. The tying law would
have never been necessary it It
were not for some five per cent
of dog owners who exercise no
control over their pets. The
dogs barking continuously In my
neighborhood are not tied and I
do not believe tying has much
effect on continuous barking.
To the lady who suggested
that I give instruction regarding
dog training. All dog owners
know how to stop this barking,
it is not necessary to tell them
how. They simply lack the re-

gard for the right of others that
would stimulate them to the
necessary effort. However, a
great many dog owners do not
realize that a large percentage
of continuous barking is caused
by worms. Therefore, my in
structions to stop tms Darning
would be first, worm the dog
thoroughly; second, let him know
that his barking displeases you.
About 10 out of a 100 dogs in
Medford are continuous barkers.
The blame lies with the owners.
I have one close neighbor who
works In his garden, while near
by sits his dog hysterically bark
ing at nothing. The owner gives
him no more attention than if he
did not exist. On the other hand
I have a close neighbor who has
two dogs. They never bark ex
cept in welcome, they never
leave their premises, although
not tied. The difference lies in
the owners.
Most people wish to have
peaceful homes, evenings and
nights undisturbed by a bedlam
of noise.- The others are not
bothered by racket, they would
rather let it continue than make
any effort to stop it, regardless
of the damage done to others
lives. I charge the dog owner
who permits his dog to bark con
tinuously, particularly at night,
with criminal negligence. He is
a menace to the community. He
brings sickness and suffering on
his neighbors, and he makes a
farce out of a peaceful com
munity. FRANCIS H. AMES.
Yes, a Dog Barks
To the editor: Courteously, at
first, as any well-bred creature
voices its needs or desires. Pa
tiently, oh, so patiently, he re
peats the request with no re
sponse, then, grief at such indif
ference on the part of those he
loves, changes the friendly bark
to a beseeching wail. Even this
grateful cry is of no avail, and.
at long last, righteous indigna
tion gives vent to loud angry
barking that is fully justified.
The city ordinance requiring
dogs to be confined during April,
May, and June works a great
hardship on animals and animal
lovers. Many owners of pets are
renting unfenced property. This
means that the dog must be tied
for ninety days. The master
leaves early and comes home
late.

of slack; the drinking cud is
overturned; a sudden shower
drenches him, the damp earth
below chills him, or, perchance
nature favors with sunshine, and
me parched throat of the dog
demands cool water where no
water is.
Spring months always mean
mucn unpleasant weather, colds,
dampness, lack of exercise, and
grief often bring on ailments
that cause much pain and suffer
ing. I, myself, know of a dog
that had to be put to death on
account of sore and infected
eyes. I am convinced that the
