after the war are now feeling some of the unwelcome

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
You may remember the name
Wayne Richardson. He's a cor
resDondent (AP). 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. He
tells Richardson:

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.

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.
