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

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.

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.

Being an easterner, or rather
a native of the midwestern states

temporary fence repairs not a

Now that I have shaken it off 1

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.
