He boarded the American merchant ship Flying Arrow in Hong Kong a while back and rode it through the blockade shooting, landing event ually in Tsingtao. He got ashore while the boat was unloading cargo, and spent four days talk ing to the Sharitung Chinese, who are now ruled by the commu nists. Since he is a trained corre spondent, seeking only such facts he can linn, caring noi a tinker's dam for propaganda, what he tells us is interesting. ONE of his contacts was a well informed Chinese whose name, of course, can't be given; the communists, either Chinese or Russian, would make quick work of him for blabbing.

Favors County Fair To the Editor: I read your ed itorial in the January 21 issue of the Mail Tribune in regard to a Jackson county fair and I know you would be disappointed if no one found any obpjection to your statements. I am very much on the other side of the fence and think that Jackson county should have a fair. There is no reason why a county fair should .not pay its way, any more man a gooci ousi ness or a well run household. It is well enough to keep up with the Jonses but don't try to be ahead of them, regardless of your ability to do so. It might be well before you say too much to discourage hav ing a fair, if you would explain to the people why the 1932 fair board lost money, if it did, aside from being during the worst de pression any of us has ever seen. However, if It must be partly supported by the taxpayer, I cannot think of anything that I would rather help support than a Jackson county fair. No, I don't think the county fair has lost any of its attractive ness. My wife and I visit the Ore gon state fair every year and after all it is just a big county fair and the 50,000 and more people who gather there in a single day prove that it has not lost anything, and the Josephine county fair, which we attended on two successive days and nights in 1949 was something which I shall never forget. I would like to hear from oth ers, through your paper, who would or would not like to have a Jackson county fair. Henry M. Croucher, Route 2, Box 200. Central Point.

Consequently I many MILLIONS of people will ' starve before next year's harvest, 1 despite anything the communist tinttat-nmani nnnlrl nn Aifun if it ' was willing. Even nowln various areas people are eating herbs and leaves." TOUGH, isn't it? What do you ; reckon the Chinese will do about it? ' : Richardson's informant says: "The average Shantungese (Shantung is a province of China, as Oregon is a state of the Union) thinks even less of the reds than he did lot the Kuomintang (Chi- i ang's crowd) but will remain j apathetic. Consequently, there appears no reason to believe that j the armed communists, by re- sorting to gestapo methods, can not maintain effective control." NOTE, please, that the Shan tung Chinese, who are a shrewd and cynical people, HAD REACHED THE POINT WHERE THEY HAD NO FAITH IN , EITHER PARTY. They were so far gone in political disillusion ment that it made no difference to them whether they were in the Kuomintang frying pan or the communist fire. Paste this in your hat: If we ever reach that point, we'll be as bad off as the Shan tung Chinese. When faith in BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE OPPOSITION IS GONE, nothing much is left. RICHARDSON'S Chinaman goes on: "The Kuomintang, through sheer corruption and robbery of the people by their financial measures, lost . . . their prestige with the people. There is no more behind the communist money than there was behind the Kuomintang money. The rate is already 21,000 dollars com-; munist for SI American." Funny money, you know, nearly always follows funny gov-. eminent. ! AN OLD-TIME resident of( Tsingloa (name not usable, as he too wants to go on living) tells Richardson of a ruse the communists used to get rid of robbers and beggars. "They arrested one robber," he ; said, "and convinced him that he wouldn't be molested if he; registered his trade. He regis tered as a burglar, told his col-1 leagues about it and they regis-: tered too. THEN THE POLICE j CRACKED DOWN AND AM RESTED ALL OF THEM. The same trick was played on beggars. After they all regis tered, they were arrested and sent to the salt mines as forced laborers." That might be called the "end result" of Regimentation. THAT is the pass that BAD POLITICS, continuing for generations, has brought the Chi nese to. If our politics got BAD ENOUGH LONG ENOUGH, that's the pass we'd come to. Moral: Don't scorn politics. If politics is kept good, we're well off. If it gets bad, we're bad off. your beauty-life with... by "iAajJi 4-JttitUit"' Former Legion Leader Portland, Jan. 27 Funeral services will be held here to morrow morning tor George E.
