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,

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! R.W.R.

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.
