Editorial Correspondence En route "City of San Francisco" to Chicago, Sept. 9: The last time we rode this train was with "General" Jack son when we went to Washington to get, if possible, an army camp for Medford. The day, three weeks later, when we returned to Port land without the camp at least no official confirmation, the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor! That did what we were unable to do. though perhaps what we did, did no harm. a a a a a In sharp contrast with the S. P. train we caught at Dunsmulr last night known as No. 19, this train is one of the finest and fastest west of Chicago. It shows what the S". P. CAN do when it really WANTS to, Just as No. 19 shows what lt can do, when lt DOESN'T. ... a a Then No. 19 was unlucky on Friday the 8th. a date unlucky for travelers according to certain superstitious folk, anyway. It ran into a bulldozer up near the Indian school north of Salem, killed no one but scared the B. D. driver so he Jumped off, turned a somersault, arose and was last seen beating it over the hill In the direction of Silverton at a mile a minute. A few hours later south of Klamath the example of that train en route to Mexico City last April was followed. No. 19 was too heavy to make the grade so the train was split into two parts, like the lowly worm, and the hill negotiated in two operations. Such maneuvers take time. The "Klamath" was due to reach Duns muir at 11:30 last night. It finally reached there at 2 a. m. this (Saturday) morning! Which la one reason why y editor hopes to get to bed early tonight! We don't need as much sleep aa we used to, but we do need SOME. Last night the S. P., like Macbeth did murder sleep. In fact if there is ever a national contest for the worst train in America we would like to enter the S. P. No. 19, running from Portland to San Francisco over the Natron cut-off. If last night's engineer could be provided the victory would be pretty certain and we wouldn't exclude the Kenosha division of the C. N. & W. in the competition either! The engineer, no doubt, was a bull-dogger In his youth. That is why he ran into that bull-dozer, the inevitable hatred of the cowboy for purely mechanical transportation. Also such a back ground might explain why aforesaid engineer could not resist roping the Pullman car in which we had a lower, and throwing It, In a cloud of cinders, tieing its feet In a half-hitch, then jump ing off and going to the next Pullman, in six seconds flat! (A new record for W. L.'s rodeo). If the engineer of No. 19 lives long enough to have television in his cab he's going to have even a better time. Imagine what a kick he will get out of the breakfast tableaux In the diner next morning around Davis, when, wilh hit eye on the screen, he will see the cup of coffee roll off into "the old dame's ample Ibp" and the hot cakes and syrup lubricate "Mr. Gotrock's" checkered vest, while Baby Snooks In "Mumu's" arms, bumps her head on the water bottle and suffers a two-inch gash! a . a . a What a circus! We can hear him as he leans over toward the fireman and shouts, "Hey Pete, look at this look what THAT Jolt did to the poor saps back there In No. 2 diner practically a "strike" if the "con" hadn't been set fer it! "Brush up your screen, Pete, and have a look at the next one it oughter ba a riot!" . a . e a But this train la different, perhaps ona reason being It takes an extra fare from the passenger, and believe you me, brother, after last night's experience it is worth It' This Is being .written as we are approaching Reno, Nov.. where the Ft. Lewis soldier we picked up at Ashland Inst night was going. He was a fresh guy and breezily maintained that Reno waa ona of the few "hot-spots" on the globe he had never visited but waa aoon to have that pleasure with a 30-day leave and trans portation via the hitch-hiking and free gratis route! We dropped him and his navy buddy at Dunsmuir and he said "thanks." R.W.R. Westbrook Pegler Copyright, 1945, by King Features Syndicate New York, Sept. 11 When President Truman broadly In dicted the American people In the Pearl Harbor disaster he merely fortified the Indictment against the Roosevelt govern ment, Mr. Truman la a true be liever In democracy which means majority rule. Mr. Roosevelt gloried In his mandate from his majority and no other gov ernment In our recent history showed such exclusive Interest In Its own following or such sneering Indifference to the peti tions and criticisms of the min ority. Having no authority, this min ority of the American people could have had no responsibility so, as to them the indictment must fail. a a e NOW IT IS TRUE that there were Republicans in America first and some Republicans did call Mr. Roosevelt a warmonger. But Senator Burt Wheeler, of Montana, a Democrat, also was an mgrv isolationist and con gressman Hatton Summers, of Dall.is. a Democrat, remarked concerning the Roosevelt policies In the late pre-war days that a mBn v.'ho tickles the heels of a mule and Is kicked Into the mid dle of next week shouldn't blame the tiitile. But the most effective oppon ents of preparation for war were not mere publicists and opera tors nut Communists In the Roosevelt political party who controlled certain unions of his prob ge. the CIO. Among them Is the American Newspaper Guild. In (he summer of 1940, the national convention of the Guild killed a resolution which would have bracketed Commun ism with Nazism and Fascism. Stalin and Mussolini were war partners at the time and the American Communists. who domiruted the Guild, were damn ing th- war as a war of conquest by imperialist Britain and France. The Americans in the Guild were no match for the Communists of New York and California. Many ostensible Americans were undercover Communists who pretended to be "Liberals" and condemned as "lied baiting" and "Fascist reac tion" any opiiosition to the Com munist treachery. a a IN THE FALL OF 1940. the New York Local Organization of the Guild, always a favored sub division of the new deal, parsed a resolution condemning con scription. Had this attitude pre vailed tluoughuut the' nation, the United Stales would have been helpless after Pearl Harbor. However, Stalin was then col laborating with Hitler and Guild Communists wanted this country to remain helpless so that vic torious Russia and Germany could, partition the United States 8A they had Poland. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has been member of the Guild since Its beginning, although she never has been eligible. She, too, recently blamed "the people" and the Isolationists for Pearl Harbor. On another occasion. In New York, a general membership meeting of the Guild adopted a resolution In favor of the notor ious strike of the United Auto Workers of the CIO at the North American Aviation plant in In glewood. Calif., which Mr. Roosevelt put riewn by arms, em ploying a regiment of the regular armv to dispel rioters. This strike was sabotage to prevent the manufacture of planes for Britain and Fiance end the development of airplane production for our own ideas. Mr. Roosevelt called it an insur rection and pointedly identified its Communist inspiration. a a THE UNITED AUTO WORK ERS, the National Maritime Un ion and the Guild were conspicu ous among the unions dominated by Communists which, in those days, wore "unaware" of and "apathetic'- toward the peril from Japan and the coming necessity to supply the American mar:': of tools and fighting powei which Inter saved Russia from Hitler. At I he Guild meeting, which protested against the army's sup pression of the Inglewood ' in surrection." a resolution con demning "Communist and Nail" maneuvering in the American Union Movement was voted down overwhelmingly. IN JULY. 1!40. William L. Laurence, of the New York Times, recently hailed as one of the greatest American journal sts in recognition of his scien tific knowledge of the atomic nomb, resigned from the Guild He riatd it had been kidnapped by Communists and that its lend ers were "enemies of those very things that are to me the mo.-t precious of mankind." The Guild said he could not resign, warning him that he was exposing himself to sevt re dis cipline The inexperienced AincMCan ra:ik and file had en tered a man-trap union like the Comnmniit paitv, itself, livm which there was no resignation' but only explusion, with penal ties. e e ALL THESE ara Mr. Tru man's own people by political in heritance and the United Auto Workers bring to his adherence the worst record of strikes and subtle sabotage in the entire dis graceful story of political union ism I'.i the war. Nevertheless, Roosevelt, Henry Wallace, Harold Ickcs, Mrs. Roosevelt and others have hon ored and patronized them, indi cating beyond question that they had no serious objections to their guilt in the Pearl Harbor affair. COMMUNICATIONS Letter! to the editor mint Deal the name and addren ol the writer althmijtti the me of a pan-name or Initiate lor publication la permii Ihle The Mall Tribune reiervea the rtiht to edit all letter! with a view to elartty and coodentaUon Editor's Query Answered To the editor. Probably you don't often receive communica tions from as far away as Miami, Fla., but my daughter, now a resident of Eagle Point, sent me a clipping from the editorial page of the Mail-Tribune of Aug. 26 last, covering the editorials "The Meek Inherit the Earth" and "Right Is Might;" and I am moved to call your attention to what I believe is a clear and correct answer to your query. "Why?" Why was the secret of releasing atomic energy discov ered by the United States and not by Germany or Japan? Can we suppose that avoid ance of so immeasurable a dis aster to mankind as prior pos session of the atomic bomb by Germany or Japan would have been, turned upon mere chance? Germany led the world in chemi cal research. If it just happened that we got ahead of Germany in the race to get this bomb, then that Is infinitely the most for tunate happening that ever oc curred In human history. But can anyone who believes in a supreme Being who rules the universe, believe that chance decided the matter? I think not. There is a God in Heaven, the true and rightful Sovereign of this world, who If not always on the side of the heavy battalions, is always on the side of right. At the height of Hitler's vic torious march through Europe, students of Bible prophecy did not hesitate to predict that his ambitious drenm of putting Ger many on top of the world, would never come to realization. They knew that before this could be done, a few words of inspired prophecy would have to be proved false. These words are, "The kingdom shall be divided" and "They shall not cleave one to another," spoken by the pro phet Daniel with reference to the broken parts of the Roman empire, as he stood before King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to interpret the monarch's dream of the manlike image, described in Daniel 2. In the days of the Caesars the Roman empire "filled the world," as Gibbon ob serves; but by the year 476 A. D. the empire had become broken into 10 parts, seven of which still remain In the nations of modern Europe; and these parts, the prophet declared, would never be united again under one government. Neither force or arms or intermarriage has been able to make these separate political divisions cleave together. Hitler didn't know it, but he was fighting against a decree of the Almighty and his cause was hopeless from the start. What a pity that the Bible is today the neglected volume. In the prophetic Scriptures is to be found the cause and significance of the present world crisis, and the knowledge of what Is to follow. Seldom Indeed does an editor put before his readers more food for thought than you gave them in these two editorials. If you could do that right along you would be getting out the best newspaper in the U. S. LEON A. SMITH. Hi: N. W. 32 Court, Miami 35. Fla.

The stock mar ket went glee fully up. In deed, it went up about as much as left wing prestige here. The mil lennium there arrived for a Paul Mailoo fore definitely day or two at least. The phenomenon Is not diffi cult to understand and explain, if you study the program and add it up. Fundamentally the new pres ident promised to provide all those rights Mr. Roosevelt used to talk about by encouraging private business to provide full employment at decent wages. This is just what the country wants, and he offered his prom ise without a word of bitterness against anyone, or bestirring a single class hate. But, conversely, he asked for an Increased appropriation for everything, except war more free (without (axes) unemploy ment compensation for civilians and soldiers, more public works, housing, farm-price stabilization, research science, veterans, health, social security, foreign relief, FEPC, even more salaries for congressmen. For 18,000 words he continued enumerating necessities for increased govern ment appropriations, but in 250 words he said there could be no cessation of wartime tax rates and that his spending budget for this fiscal year Involving less than two months of war activity would run $66,000,000,000 which would continue about two thirds of the war expenditures rale until next July 1. a a A NYONE can see and under stand these propositions, but economists may have difficulty reconciling them. If full em ployment is to be furnished through greatly expanded and encouraged private production, why does the government avoid the point of greatest encourage ment to private initiative (tax re duction) and plan spending all that money six times as much as Mr. Roosevelt ever spent? Where is the need for it in what is officially proclaimed a tem porary unemployment condition in some industries. The contradiction adoes not stop there. Mr. Truman's own director of economic stabiliza tion, William Davis, announced, just before the message, a great prosperity is ahead for the next fow years, whicla would lift liv ing standards for the people 50 per cent without increasing prices. He figured on doing it apparently by increasing wages only in places where these would not force prjee increases. which in my opinion, would be a spectacular feat, if it could be done. The low-wage industries are those like canning and farm help and If the minimum wage can be jumped In those without Increasing the price of food. I would like to sec it done, before believing. a e e DUT Mr. Truman's treasury " secretary, the new-dealing Mr. Vinson, says that the perma nent budget beginning next July 1 (Mr. Truman did not mention this) would be at least $25,000, 000,000 a year or nearly three times as much as Mr. Roosevelt ever spent in peacetime. Here again is vital contradic tion. If we are entering a great ly higher sphere of prosperity, making all these autos. radios and washing machines we need (and the stock market confirms Mr. Davisi, why have a perma nent budget of $'.'5,000,000,000? Why spend three times more than Mr. Roosevelt in a coming prosperous period? Would it not be simple prudence to hold back all these proposed government expenditures until the pent-up war demand wears off in a few years and an economic justifica tion for them exists? Docs not government spending now com pete with private enterprise and add to inflation hs:ards. which t lie government economists all consider so dire? Is there not a natural, funda mental, unconceivable contra diction in this program which needs resolving? a a DUT contradictions do not end LJ there, cither.

Neither wants very much to go. The veteran has discharge pay and allowances enabling him to lay off for a rest, at least, and then seek a better Job or unemployment compensa tion, while the war worker naturally does not in full unan imity want to do his old work on the farm or in consumer services. Will an increase in the govern ment allowances aid this transi tion or further accelerate natur al individual inclinations? This and continued high taxes on pri vate initiative would seem to me to work to discourage the basic Tntman policy. My point about the program, therefore, is that the specific recommendations go contrary to the very popular and laudible basic purpose. While the aim is sound, the program Is no more sound than when congress al ways rejected it, as proposed by Mr. Roosevelt and Indorsed by C.I.O. Mr. Truman just makes it sound nice.

Sept. 11-JU.P The Agriculture Department to day forecast a 1945 corn crop of" 3.069,055.000 bushels com pared with 2,844.478,000 bush els estimated a month ago and a 1944 production of 3.228.361, 000. The estimate was based on Sept. 1 conditions. A crop of this size has been exceeded only in 1920. 1942. and 1944. The yield per acre is now es timated at 33.3 bushels com pared with 33.2 bushels a year ago. Less Acreage The estimated yield was on 92.229,000 acres expected to be harvested. This was 5.1 per cent less than the acreage harvested in 1944. More seasonable tempera tures and generally favorable moisture reserves brought a net gain for all crop prospects dur ing August, the crop reporting board said. It was estimated that the vol ume of all crops harvested in 1945 would equal the produc tion of the two banner war years 1942 and 1944 and would be 24 per cent above the 1923-32 average. The board put this year's out put in the "bumper class. It warned, however, that many crops, especially corn, are still in danger of an early killing frost. Biggest Wheat Crop The biggest wheat crop in his torv still was predicted on Sept. 1-Ja production of 1.152.270,000 bushels. This comoared with the Aug. 1, forecast of 1,146,283.000 bushels and a 1944 yield of 1, 078.647,000 bushels. Winter wheat production, placed at 836,969,000, remained unchanged from last month. This compared with 764,073,000 bushels in 1944. Spring wheat production was placed at 315.301.000 bushels compared with 314,574.000 bush els in 1944. The estimate last month was 309.314.000 bushels.
