Japan has Ignored the allied surrender terms to surrender' or be destroyed, thus Insuring the Oriental war lords they will get all that Is coming to them and then some. Already three of their flimsy cities are ablaze with more to follow. Japan ask ed for obliteration and will re ceive It seven-fold. : Was Churchill Repudiated? "Never thought the English people would turn Churchill down like that!" This reaction to the overwhelming political defeat of Britain's erallant war leader has been a common one in this neck of the woods, and very likely through out the country. It is based upon a misconception of English polities. In England the people don't vote for individuals, they vote for parties. ' Over there it is the party, not the person that is im portant. And it is the party, not electorate tnat select the leaders and AFTER the election, not BEFORE. SO this labor landslide was not a repudiation of Winston Churchill as an individual, or as a war leader or as a statesman, acknowledged throughout the world as one. of the truly great men of the Mm Century. It was a repudiation of his party. In fact. Mr. Churchill and also his foreign minister, Anrhnnv Eden, were re-elected to Parliament. No one annarentlv wished to retire either of them, to ob scurity and private life. Everyone or nearly every one, did wish to give their organization the boot, THE situation was somewhat similar to that in this country after the panic of 1929. The people ef England, too, wanted a change. They had had Con servative control lone enough, too long in fact,- they wanted a new deal, a new crew and captain, a COMPLETE house-cleaning irom tne oouom 10 me top.

There la still plenty of Iambi to follow Mary to school in Sep tember and plenty of wool to pull over me people g eyes. e The British election produced the greatest political landslide In history. It was more colossal thHn the year the Republicans carried only Vermont and Utah. see MIND AT WORKI (Oregon Ian) 'The band plays Tea For Two,' for a starter. That's Tea For Two, says the babe, and Jack brightens and asks, well, what product does It re fer to? "I don't know, the babe answers. I suppose it's tea?" (Radio Col.) . In the rural areas some of the cornstalks are almost as tall as the weeds within a dandelion's throw of the City hall. e EDUCATION IS WONDERFUL "After taking a poll and find ing that a hugs majority of the American people would welcome Russia's entrance Into the war agnln.it Japan, Dr. Gallup notes: "The group with the greatest amount of education those who have attended college contains about the same proportion who want Russia to fight Japan as does the group whose education did not extend beyond grade school, "In other words one does not have to go to college to learn that it is good to have a pal In fight. That is in the currl. culum of the kiddles' sand pile," (Chicago Dally News). Two-thirds of the agricultural lands of California are. In the great Central Valley. T was, of course, a slap in the face for Winston Churchill as theMeader of the Conservative party, an a navtv camDaiemer in fact, but it was not for Winston Churchill, the man who, by his own forcefu leadership, bull dog courage and sheer moral stature, brought his country from the deptns or aeieat to tne heights of one of the most complete victories Great Britain has ever known. K. w M. Japan s Peace Offer The report that Stalin brought new Japanese peace terms to Potsdam for the consideration of his two as sociates, sounds fairly reasonable to this department, For undoubtedly the one thing Japan wishes to avoid is the one thing that defeated Germany a war on two fronts. And with Russia still neutral, and yet with the most powerful land- force the world has ever seen ready to march, what more Jikely than tne iNippon snoum concentrate evervthintr on keeping Russia out of it? The time to do this being; before the end of the Big Three conference, for after it might well be "too .little and too late I MOREOVER, the Jap terms sound reasonable, T from the Japanese standpoint at least. Japan, it is claimed, is willing to give up all her conquests, even Korea, withdraw from the Chinese mainland entirely, if the allies will guarantee the integrity of her main home islands, abandon either invasion of them or armed occupation. Japan could hardly yield MORE than that, with out losing as much face as her defeat would involve. VET, from the standpoint of the allies, it is doubtful if the Supreme Command will even agree to con sider such an adjustment. (It is not unlikely Pres ident Truman discussed this very matter with General Eisenhower at their week-end meeting). For "unconditional surrender" has been the battle cry and this surrender, of course, would not be un conditional. It would be surrender with the very important condition of Japan reduced to her status of over half a century ago but still independent and free to rule and rehabilitate herself. And that, according to our military dogma, would merely mean a weakened but not a chastened Japan and a Japan that in any other generation might well be in a position to stage another "Pearl Harbor." 17TIEN one considers the American lives involved perhaps another million casualties, it is hard to accept such reasoning, but unless all signs fail that will be the net result of this final Japanese attempt to escape the punishment she deserves. K.W.K. Senate Versus Potsdam No one is paying the slightest attention to the United Nations charter and the debate in the Senate concerning it. In fact this includes the members of the Senate themselves, who are conspicuous by their absence, whenever a speech on the "immortal docu ment" is delivered. Well, "there's a reason." There is no contest, and who wishes to listen to a lot of hot-air when the out come is already known, and particularly when one has to live in the worst summer climate in the world 1 Also, unfortunately for the charter, as far as the limelight is concerned, happenings in the rest of the world are so much more vital and momentous: namely, the war situation, the British elections and the Potsdam gathering. in fact, in Potsdam is where the fate of the charter is really being determined. For just so far as the Big Three there AGREE the charter will succeed: just so far as they FAIL to agree, IT will fail 1-R. W.R. OFFICE OPENED FOR FARM LABOR A downtown farm labor em ployment office has been estab lished at 207 West Main street by the Oregon State college ex tension service with John Heck ler In charge, as a means of fill ing farm and orchard needs.

A Victim of Poison Oak To the editor, There is an old familiar proverb, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure;" therefore stay away from poison oak! In the future mis word will be as disturbing and disgusting to me as skunk, rattlesnake or smallpox, as I am Just recovering from a severe attack of this pest so common in the mountains and Pacific states. Being an easterner, or rather a native of the midwestern states that are immune from this breed of oak, I stumbled Into it acci dentally. I was making some temporary fence repairs not a thousand miles from Medford. Now that I have shaken it off 1 have been looking into the his tory and habits of this filthy plant that resembles the poison ivy oi the east but Is so much more deadly and troublesome. Both poison ivy and poison oak have long botanical Latin names that I am going to skip. even hate the English names and always will, of these poison-; ous plants. . It Is the poisonous oil contain. ! ed In the leaves of both oak and ! ivy that does the dirtv work.: Once you shake hands with it, or accidentally make its ac-1 qualntance, your scratching ; spree begins. Reeardless nf tho I doctor or druggist (even with the ! lauers well stocked shelves of cures ranging from snlvue in. tlons, washes and Immunlzers for internal or external use) you are uoomea to sutler. The many and varied prescrip tions and recommendations of well meaning and sympathetic friends work no better. These suggestions range from a butter milk and sal soda bath to one of fairly strong brine with vine gar added; or else a scalding hot bath with several cakes of soap dissolved in same. At the same ;,8 'ndulge in quantities of liquid Impregnated abundantly with that sure fire remedy known as Epsom salts. In the twinkling of an eye, say your friends, your troubles will be over. I say they are Just begun. GEORGE H. YOUNG 618 So. Oakdale, Medford. ,.B,!,topo8rapnical extremes, Mt. Whitney and Death Valley are within the confines of one California county, Inyo county.

ELKS SLOT MACHINES Klamath Falls, July 27 The Elks club here was raided Wed nesday by city and state police and four slot machines were seized. George W. Houston, sec retary of the Elks, was arrested for possession of a gambling de ice and directed to appear in Justice court. State police said that three 23 cent machines and one 10-cent machine were confiscated and that all were in playing condi tion. The machines were tested by officers before being seized. The possession of slot irta chines constitutes a crime in this state, according to a recent rul ing by Attorney-General George Neuner, and private clubs are not in any way exempt from ar rest and prosecution. This raid continues a drive against slot machines in Klam ath county in which the Tik-Tok drive-in, Lucca safe and the Buf falo lunch were knocked over bv state police in recent raids.
