By Arthur Perry
The local rejoicing over the
surrender of Japan was a pro
nounced success. The oldest In
habitant cannot recall a shiv
er ec, or-freight thraln crossing
blockings, that produced so
much auto horn tooting.

Sidney Hillman, the CIO chief

proaching vast unemployment
and the conditions of 1933 de

WHEN DAD ACTS UP
(Kansas City Times)
"Mother would be far hap
pier if it were not for Father's
humor. Father feels he just
must be funny, particularly so
in the presence of sisters-in-law
and other wicked women,
all eager to see Mother suffer.
When Mother tells what her
new hat cost, Father thinks it
funny to toll the real amount
she paid for the hat, destroy
ing part of its value. When
Mother tells what she weighs
Father humorously tells her
weight and of course the soul
less women believs funny
Father."

Enlightened Self-Interest
This department has been such an enthusiastic sup
porter of Winston Churchill as Premier, it seems
strange to differ with him as leader of His Majesty's
opposition.
But we do and emphatically.
It is this paper's conviction that if Mr. Churchill's
advice is followed and, we quote :
"Britain and America hide the secret ot the atomic bomb
from Russia and all other powers."
Only trouble can result, serious trouble.
e a a
DUSSIA is suspicious enough of the Anglo-Amer-
ican powers as it is. With this infernal machine
solely in our possession, what will Russia proceed to
do?
Set her best brains, and the Russian Communists
failed to liquidate ALL of them ! on the job of se
curing the secret of this miracle-bomb and manutac-
turing same to the limit of her capacity.

Whereup an armament race in the diabolical busi
ness of harnessing the elemental powers of the solar
system will be on, and nothing, and we. MEAN noth

IF there were any reason to believe the secret could

policy as Mr. Churchill proposes. For it is true as he
maintains such a potent weapon would be a great
force solely in the hands of the English speaking
powers, for world peace.
But, there is none! In fact, some other country
mip-ht stumble on the secret tomorrow.
Trior, nil pfhiVal considerations aside, why not at
ln-ier mnlfo a virtue nf necessity and voluntarily turn
this secret over to the United Nations, witn tne solemn
pledge it be outlawed except as used by that organiza
tion of 50 nations to enforce WORLD PEACE!
UNLESS this, or some similar action, is taken, it is
tViia rlonnrtmpnt's cnmnlete conviction that noth
ing will be able to prevent another world war, and
complete destruction of what has been known as
modern civilization.
No holier-than-thou attitude need be assumed by
the donors, no plea of impractical idealism would be
justified to condemn such action, for at heart tne
action would not proceed from any altruistic motives,
but solely from principles of self-interest and self
preservation ! R.W.R.

SPUNKY PIONEER GAL
"A bright and attractive young
woman socially well known, too,
remarked to a man with whom
she was conversing at an after
noon tea tho other day, that he
legs were so stiff she could hard
ly move, owing to a long walk
the previous day. 'You needn't
look stnrtled,' she continued,
laughing, 'the day has gone
when women were supposed to
move about on the periphery of
their skirts like the doll pincush
ions at fairs. The end of the cen
tury woman not only has legs,
but she is not afraid to allude
to them.' " (SO yr. ago col. Pen

TPHE same theory Is being pur-
sued to the more limited ex
tent possible, in cancellation of
contracts. First announcement
at the moment of peace con.
cerned only 56,000.000,000 of
navy cutting, mainly in ord
nance- I suspect Mr. Truman
resolved all doubts in favor of
high budgets for the army dur
ing the latter days of the war
for the same purpose to keep
the economic mills churning.
How long this tendency can
be maintained in the face of con.
trary pressures of troops to get
free, and from setting the
treasury in order (tax reduc
tion?), remains to be seen. Cer
tainly the government appears
determined to go as slow as it
can in dismantling the war bud
get. So, also, with specific recon
version policies. For many
months, the popular and undis
puted public thought has run to
the conclusion that the end must
bring an economic shock, with
widesDrcad unemployment. Now
the economists are beginning to
inquire deeper into the matter,
seeking to ascertain wnat parti.
culnr types of workers and how
many in which industries ate
being affected. They nave
found there is another balancing
side of the picture which has not
been explored or fully observed.
"ORDNANCE workers, for in-
stance, are sure to go at once,
and production will not be resumed-
But all the other non
go vnment industries will be
different to some extent. In the
two largest industries, motors
and steel, the highest possible
peacetime production will be de
veloned as swiftly as possible.
In those lines much unemploy
ment will be temporary.
Shipbuilding production, for
another instance, will drop near
zero, but the Kaiser plants on
the Pacific coast, two months
ago, had employment of less
than 40 per cent of their war
peak. The majority of workers
knew what was coming and
went back home for better lobs
Also Kaiser long since started to
go into other fields, including
motors, and his total peacetime
employment may yet run as high
as wartime peak.
The large number of workers
who got into industry for the
first time during the war will
find husbands or supporting re
latives returning from the war,
and may desire to return to
their homes.

Nor do we arrorove of Mr. Churchill's remarks con
cernine; Soviet Russia.
And for the same reason. For here too, serious
trouble may result.
MOT that what Britain's former Prime Minister said
Yvoa tintrnn
Every statement he made recardintr Russia is. in
our iudrment, historically correct.
But, it is not always wise to tell the truth PUB
LICLY. And this is especially true at this critical time when
as distinguished a source as that of Britain's former
great war leader is responsible.
a a a a a
"DICTATORIAL Communist forces behind an iron
censorship" as Mr. Churchill declares "ARE
seeking to rule by terror," and it is "not impossible
that tratredy on a prodigious scale WILL result."
JJut, the way to prevent it is not to openly defy and
condemn Russia at this time.
We don't say Russia should be "appeased," as so
many of the so-called "liberals" in this country advo
cate. Nor should the silly chant that Russia can do
no wrong be continued.
As has been pointed out before in this column, such
a course will no more prevent trouble with Russia,
than it prevented trouble with totalitarian Germany.
In fact it will inevitably lead to trouble by convincing
Stalin that he too, "has the world by the tail' and no
large power will ever dare oppose him, no matter
what he may do.
RUT, with World War II just ending this is emphati
cally NOT the time, to wave a red-flag before
the Russian bull, but to follow the dictum of Theodore
Roosevelt under somewhat similar circumstances
when he said :
"Speak softly. BUT carry a big stick!"
For. as we see it, only by speaking softly, being
friendly and conciliatory in our ATTITUDE, can we
ever hope to allay Russia s fears regarding the inner
motives of the two great English speaking nations
thus giving Russia an opportunity to understand us
and likewise giving us an opportunity to really under
stand her.
flTE would not, however, withhold the secret of that
atomic bomb as our "big stick," we would keep
the power we have on the sea and in the air, as the
basis of it, and a friendly but a firm and frank atti
tude as its foundation.
Yes, we would endeavor in even possible and self
respecting way to keep friends with Russia; for un
less we, do, another war will threaten. But we would
keep that friendship only as Stevenson kept his:
"WITHOUT capitulation!"
Or to express the same idea in another way, the
Anglo-American nolicv in niir inrlo-mpnt should be
to do everything humanly possible to avoid trouble "vEi!?

VIA RED CROSS
Jackson County Chapter,
American Red Cross, has receiv
ed a telegram from the Ameri
can Red Cross, National Head
quarters, stating that, due to ces
sation of hostilities, the next of
kin may now send messages to
Prisoners of War held by the
Japanese.
Through special arrangements
made with the agencies of the
United States government, and
governments of the Allied na
tions, plans have been complet
ed for collection of messages
from officially designated next
of kin for delivery to United
States and Allied nations Pris
oners of War and Civilian Inter
nees in the Far East upon their
liberation.
Next of Kin Only
These messages will be ac
cepted from next of kin only
and will be delivered by the
American Red Cross in the Pa
cific Area North of Hongkong
and by the British, Australian
and Netherlands Red Cross in
the area south of Hongkong, as
soon as prisoners are liberated.
Messages will not be accepted
for men missing in action. They
will be accepted for Prisoners of
War who have no specific camp
address. If delivery of the mes
sages within six months proves
impossible, consideration will be
eiven to new messages.
From 850 to 900 words will
fit on the prescribed form which
must be used. This form is in
the Red Cross office only. One
small photograph may be attach
ed. The messages must be
strictly nersonal.
The letters must be in the
Medford Red Cross Office by
Saturday morning, August 18,
so that they may be typed and

torn where I sit . ly Joe Marsh
Best Way to Celebrate
The Peace
We were sitting on Bill Web
ster's porch the other night,
talking about how we'd cele
brate when the Japs surrendered.
Lrm Toiler allowed as how he
rras going to start his Tacation
then and there and spend it
ashing. Ed Mapes was going to
take his family to Mountain
Clly for a big feed and a picture
ihow.
Bill Webster had the last sug
gestion. "I'm going to pour a
glass of beer and drink a toast
to our fighting men," he says,
"and that is Just as far as my
celebratlng's going to go. I'm go
ing to make sure of being on the
Job next morning."
From where I sit. Bill Webster
has the right Idea. When Peace
comes, there's going to be a
whole new world to build.
There's a really big Job to be
done, A glass of beer, the bev
erage of moderation, and a good
night's sleep to be ready for the
task ahead-that's the right way
to welcome Victory!
