HOW WARS ARE WON
(Bend Bulletin)
"Now that news censorship
Is officially ended v. a venture
to call attention to our own
recoid of compliance. Only
once in the course of the war
were we criticised for failure
to observe the regulations. We
had mentioned the fact that of
ficer's chests were being mad
at the local furniture factory.
Imagine how that aided the
enemy,"
Clostnl time tot Claeetfled Ada t-M
. m loo Lata te CUeeiiy Hat p. m.
Why Keep Up the Farce?
Why can't professional politicians behave like
human beings? We refer particularly to national
chairmen and their like.
Take Herbert Brownell, Jr., the Republican Nation
al chairman, for example. He is an intelligent, edu
cated man. And yet he returns to Washington, D.
C, after an extended trip around the country and
solemnly proclaims:
The G.O.P. will win the congressional elections next year
because:
1. The Truman administration has muffed the reconver
sion problem
3. The people have awakened to the dangers of continued
political control by one party.
S. The effort by Democrats to capitalize for party benefit
the patriotism of the people.
' 4. Popular skepticism as to economy promises made by
the Truman administration.
Could ANYthing be sillier?
THE Republicans may win the 1936 election. They
1 won handsomely after the first World War, the
Spanish War and the Civil War.
But, surely not for anv of the reasons cited.
t 0
(1) LJOW could .the Truman administration, for
example, have muffed reconversion when
reconversion has hardly started? You can't muff a
ball before it is hit!
(2) The people, at least many of them, awoke
to the dangers of one-man and one-party control long
ago, but with the death of President Roosevelt how
could that awakeninc have any real potency as a poli
tical factor this NEXT year?
(3) In the election of 1944 the Roosevelt adminis
tration did make an effort to capitalize on the war for
political purposes and the effort succeeded but
with the war over how can that be used EFFEC
TIVELY again?
(4) This department holds no brief for President
Truman. But, as before stated, we believe that up-to-date,
he has done surprisingly well.
More than that, we believe the people of the coun
try as a whole, regardless of party, feel that way about
it.
And certainly thev will not bp shaken in that belief
by any such mumbo-jumbo as Mr. Brownell perpetrates.
The only tWnsr that will be shaken will be their
confidence in Republican National Chairman Brow
nell, if any and his party!
fXTE are not picking on Mr. Brownell, however. He
is saying what national chairmen of political
parties in this country usually say, be they Republi
can. Democrat or What-Have-You i
But, we are picking on the silly, childish practice of
the chairman-breed, who for more years than need be
mentioned have talked this sort of nonsense before
every election and during it as well, maintaining
all that is perfect is in their narty, all that is evil is in
the other, and that the candidate of their party, who
ever he may be just CAN'T lose. No one believes
such rot. not even the chairmen themselves.
Certainly this sort of hocos pocus can't make votes.
It is all too absurd. Then why, when the main busi
ness of thpse partv officials is to get votes should they
persist in it? R.W.R.

Nothing New
As remarked at the time the atomic bomb was an
nounced, few people yet realize the vital, world-shaking
significance of that event.
les, the date of its discovery, August 5, 194o, will.
in all likelihood, go down in human history along with
1215. 1492, 1776, a date for. the school boys to re
member, as marking the end of one great epoch and
the start of another.
For this date will either mark the end of war, or the
end of the world, at least the terrestial world, and
one need hardly add such a date will not soon be forgotten.

A New World
TAKE Britain first, the biggest
and most-easily-seen case. An
American letter to business men.
purporting to carry the official
British viewpoint (although it
does not always say so) justifies
large loans to London on the
ground that the proposed social
ism for the British mines and
transport (their purchase by the
government) is to be financed by
self-liquidating bonds so we
naturally can have no interest in
them.
That is the kind of propaganda
to appeal to the American busi
ness mind self-liquidating loans
are sound. They pay themselves
off from profits. So, concluded
the propaganda letter, there
could not possibly be objection
to them in the United States.
The propaganda neglects to
reveal to our people the one
salient fact which would knock
the whole appeal into a double
cocked homburg, namely that
British socialism contemplates
also taking over the Bank of
England, which, of course Is the
most important consideration in
her future credit standing. Any
American business man who
thinks of that fact (he will have
to think of it by himself because
the propagandists will not tell
him) will immediately say to
himself: "Why, if the socialists
are to abolish the standards of
credit of capitalism In their best,
and perhaps change it from day
to day, or run it in any direction
they want, I would not make
them a loan, I would .nake them
give me some unchangeable as
surance of financial good faith
before I would even consider it."
e . e e
DUT they want more debt from
us and want to increase their
internal debt untold billions
more for socialism and make
their people pay the interest.
That sounds like a onesided
proposition. To put it in its sim
plest terms: Britain wants to
pull her out of the red and yet
have her way, exclusive of our
interests in any particular. (Her
government told parliament it
would be awful for us to Inter
fere with her wishes In any way.)
This same proposition is be
ing sold to the public In an
equally clever political way.
