ORtooNu5sMPt PuSllSNERiUsjduTIOII Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Valley Insect life, due to the warm weather, was much astir .last week. The bees were ant hills of activity, and the ants were beehives of industry. The Leo Williams boy, Hugh, now a lieutenant in me army, and former B. Tornado basket ball guard, Is home on a furlough. Pass the Peace Pact President Truman has asked the Senate to ratify the United Nations security pact BEFORE the meet ing of the peace conference. This certainly should be done. For anv of the five world powers, but particularly me united outlets, iu gu w who kwucishw mm security pact hanging fire at home, would be extreme lv unfortunate. In fact such a situation might wel render any satisfactory peace agreement impossible So by all means let the Senate get busy and do this. e e THIS does not mean, nor should it mean, however, anv undue haste m the business of ratification. There should be the normal amount of discussion and debate. All opinions should be thoroughly aired. Not onlv should all members of the Senate and the House know exactly what the new pact is and isn't but so should the people of the country. . To pass any such vital legislation in ignorance or haste or under any serious misapprehension whatever would be inexcusable, and might prove tragic. AS remarked in this department before, one of the constant fears' at the San Francisco gathering was that this second League of Nations might meet the sad fate of the first, and be defeated by the U. b. benate. As a result there was not a provision ottered wnicn was not scrutinized fore and aft from this one stand point would it b.e acceptable to the U. S. Senate, r.hat is from the viewpoint of domestic politics? If there was ever any serious doubt, the decision was always in favor of the dictum of political expedi ency. No one in authority wished to take a chance. As one of the U. S. delegates declared : "A live dog is better than a dead Hon, a charter full of Imperfections but unanimously supported and actually functioning would be preferable to a product of perfection ists thrown In the ash-can." Rieht or wrone. that was the unwavering policy of the U. S. delegation at San Francisco, and none of the Big Five, only some of the smaller nations, ever op posed it. A S a result, defeat of this second League of Nations,. in this country, as we see it, is simply not in the cards. For on what ground could there be serious opposition except on the ground of extreme isolation ism?And isolationism as a political factor in this countrv today is dead, or feigning death, which hiiis the birthday of the nation i practicaiiv speaking adds up to the same thing. In MethUhTtrtak'acelnjfact this department will be surprised if there are a poison oak, and iiap mosquitoes, dozen votes against this pact when the time comes for final decision. WHY should there be? Unlike the first League of Nations, the United States assumes no mandatory obligations in this one. There is no Article X to drag us into war far from American shores and against the popular will. Not only as far as any military committments are concerned, but any political or financial ones, the United States under this charter; " will be under no obligation, legal or moral, to do ANYTHING IT DOES NOT WISH TO DO 1 Not only will it have an absolute veto in the all important League Council against any action of im portance; but as far as military involvement is con cerned there will be a double-check. Yes even' if the American representative on the Council should join in the unanimous decision to take military action against an aggressor nation, and it must be unanimous among the Big Five, the actual use of our armed forces would still be subject to our adopted constitutional procedure and sanction. That is to say unless the congress of the United States should vote for war for military action against an aggressor, there would be none. For all such action on the part of the League, by the terms of the charter must be according to the prevailing constitu tional methods of the country involved. e e IN short as far as any nation can have its cake and 1 and eat it too, this miracle is provided in this new Security Pact as far as the U.S.A. is concerned. From the standpoint of ratification, indeed, that is the great strength of the charter; from the stand point of international cooperation in the practical prevention of war it is its great weakness!

S at) Saturday afternoon- Please rememher Horse Shoes Popular To the editor: The Medford horse shoe club recently got un der way for the 1945 season on their attractive courts in the city park and from the way fans are joining up it promises to be a busy summer. Gratifying to the club is the number of non-residents that have taken out mem bership in the past month. They hall from the following points: H. A. Hunt, Yreka, Calif.; Larry Klnn, Redonda Beach, Calif.; Frank S. Thelin, Portland; S. F. Smith, Crescent City. Calif.; Har vie Sparling, Grants Pass; A. F. Terrlll, Central Point. These and others who have vis ited the courts and expressed in tention of becoming members on their next visit here, would In dicate that Medford could be come a popular Oregon center for this old but interesting pas time. This city has some skillful players, men who frequently pitch several doubles in succes sion and think nothing of it. The club also has a large number that can hold their own with most players, a fact demon strated to anyone visiting the courts when play is in progress. The club is proud of its fine court, as well as of its care taker, Louis Knlps, one of the good pitchers and a tireless worker in upkeep of the courts. The non-resident members are delighted with the friendliness of the resident members and ap preciate the fact that good shoes are available for visiting players at all times. The club expects to stage a tournament in July and a meet ing of club members will be held at the courts, Friday, July 6, at 7:30 p. m. to discuss plans. PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN, - (Name on file). Mackinac Island, Mich., June 30 (U.R) President Truman no tified the 37th annual governors' conference tonight that he would not be able to address it July 2. He enjoined the state executives to support our most ambitious effort" in "building world se curity." Gov. Herbert Maw, Utah, con ference chairman, read a tele gram from Mr. Truman sent from the summer white house at Independence, Mo. Reminding the governors that "war had touched each state" with a costly toll of lives, the president said the unstinted help of every governor would be re quired in "the task of building world security which we have Just undertaken. Gov. Maw simultaneously an nounced that Cmdr. Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Min nesota, definitely would address the governors the night of July on the San Francisco confer ence. Mr. Truman's pointed refer ence to the San Francisco char ter and Stassen's personal report possibly will lead to action by the governors assembly. Maw in dicated. The governors of 39 states ar rived at serene Mackinac Island aboard the Great Lakes steamer Western States after a leisurely trip from Detroit under sun swept skies. The conference opens tomorrow for preliminary discussions. Formal meetings be gin Monday. The reconversion problem and its attendant labor unrest came into focus yesterday after the governors toured, the giant Ford Motor company 'forge plant at Detroit. They were told by Henry Ford n, executive vice-president of Ford, that lay-offs of war work ers would create a major social and economic crisis that "only wise and speedy government action" can adjust.

PAUL SMITH SAYS JAPAN DEFEATED IN 18-24 Eugene, Ore., June 30 (U.R) America will need the most favorable possible success in the Pacific war zone and full support at home to conquer Japan in 18 to 24 months, Comm. Paul C. Smith, navy public relations' officer Just, returned from Oki nawa today told the Oregon Newspapers Publishers Associa tion meeting in Eugene. Smith, former general man ager of the San Francisco Chron icle, said that despite his "incur able-optimism" there were too many obstacles to count on the Japanese surrender or Allied victory in less than that time al though both Americans and Jap anese realize the Japanese can not win. He recalled that some of the factors likely to prevent( an early victory are the power of the Japanese military system; the presence of perhaps 100 di visions in China, 65 or 70 di visions on the homeland and an other 100 or 125 "second-string" divisions; Japanese occupation of Manchuria not yet conquered by the Allies; need for at least seven or eight months to build adequate airfields on Okinawa; some four months necessary to re-deploy divisions from Europe) and bad winter weather.
