' We heartily commend a return to dueling, as the President of Nicaragua suggested with,' of. course, certain common sense restrictions. , vs .For example, 'the duel should be carried to a finish. Not a fatal one necessarily, but until one of the combatants should cry. "uncle ! ENOUGH!" -: ': The 'peopleof the nation whose representative had thus admitted defeat should accept the decision gracefully, and the victorious nation should in view of this concession, agree to renounce war, and accept arbitration of the dispute before the United Nations. If the duel, thus modified, had been adopted to settle , international disputes fifty i years ago, just imagine "the saving in blood, treasure, sorrow, suffer ing and wholesale destruction! The sum total would be incalculable. i ;;,':;:,;.;; 'i ' ,:.:.-.

Then soon, on such a program, the war would be over. - .

Secretary Benson was very emphatic about the "security" phase of this case. But he had hardly con cluded; his statement before Foreign Administrator Stassen, rehired the same man and just as emphatic ally stated, there were no grounds for such a security suspicion. - " - , ..... - ' ' V- rVESAGREEMENTS between members of a govern- ment can't be avoided entirely,' of course. But to have no agreement at all, is we believe unprecedented. And; certamly unfortunate. : - We think tiie time has come not only for a reap praisal, of our foreign policies, but a reappraisal of the administration morale as a whole from the stand point of what it stands for and what it doesn't, what is true and what isn't, who is the leader and spokes man and who isn't?

Well there has been no such tragic outcome. The Democrats, to date at least, are not trying to drive the administration car one -way or the other-But there are at least half la dozen Bepublicans and prominent ones, who are not only trying to drive the car as they personally. wish and contrary to President Eisenhow er's expressed desires, but to crowd him off the seat entirely.

'. It is striking that this should bee so. Thailand is both , a small country and Joseph Also clQae tQ the source of trouble. Indonesia," in contrast, is one of the world's great nations, with a devoutly Muslem population of 80,000, 000. And the tepid seas , that lap these rich green islands protect Indonesia from the direct mili tary menace to which Thailand may soon be exposed. : y ; AU the same, it is almost cer tain that this superb Indonesia archipelago will be added to the expanding Communist empire in Asia, if Thailand is allowed to fall. In the absence of anything like a serious Western or Indian policy for South Asia, the Com munists can afford to take tlieir time in Indonesia. But soon or late, the Communist wave' of the future will reach these " shores unless it is quickly .halted on the Asian mainland.- i - v " - This is true, moreover al though Indonesian communism is inherently weak. Back . in 1948, on the Day of Madiun, the famous Musso and other season ed Indonesian Communists tried to sieze the leadership of Free Indonesia .from President : Su karno, and his collaborators of that period. As a result, , the whole Indonesian ' Communist high;, command . was briskly executed. .. j v':. 7;'" Under its new and untried chief, Aidit, who. has not even had "hard Moscow training, the Party has been slow to recover from the Madiun setback. It has made some headway in the labor unions in Jakarta .and other big towns: But as yet it has no sup port among the great mass of peasants who are Indonesia's backbone. And the armed serv ices and police are still sternly anti-Communist. .:, V In these circumstances, it would be suicidal for ..the Party to .try to take over now in the near 4 future, before there' - has been - a geat change of . political climate. So the present Commu nist line in Indonesia is , not to take power. It is to isolate Indo nesia internationally and to soften up Indonesia internally. ' . . ..... THETattacks on President Su karno and the present gov ernment of Prime Minister Ali Sastroamidjojo, as being "pro Communist," have been exag gerated, and unfair. But is must be said in honesty that a diffi cult internal political situation has caused Sukarno and the Ali PklciriKPedirs By SID HOLLINGSWORTH ' . ''Catfish" Clayton has re turned to the fold as president of the fishing club, after a. year's sabbatical. They had their or ganization meeting last week at which time . plans' for the 1955 fishing; season were outlined. There were 14 fishermen in attendance. ; This is "one ; of I the most popular member groups on the station. Trips;; are made to nearby - waters in . VA. busses, and lunches are carried for a feast, around a-camp fire. Fish ing tackle is provided for the men who are not able, to buy their own. ' - :ly -; ; : . The tackle is made available through donations y by patrons among the. many fishing enthus iasts in the valley. Jacob Ber tel was named custodian of the club equipment. Clayton's first act was to pen a message to these supporters and well wishers. ' "I want to take this oppor tunity, to thank the many people of Medford and . southern Ore gon on behalf of the members in the Camp White domiciliary for their kindness and generosity shown ; us for the new fishing tackle and partly .worn- tackle donated to us. In this way many members, some without pensions can enjoy going on fishing trips. "I also want to assure the tax payers and citizens that we do not at any time . violate any fish and game laws and we "are very careful about fires. We all try to conduct ourselves in a decent manner and ; try to be courteous and kind to those we meet and show our appreciation for - their hospitality on ; our trips."' Mrs.Vera Martin, of Sierra Manor, north of-Trail, who his extended an invitation to fish at her place at any time, and-J. Duckett, of the Cascade Tackle and Supply store in ; Medford, who; has donated tmuch of the tackle used, -were ,r especially thanked by Clayton. . 1 All Veterans Administration employees are eligible for in centive awards ranging from $10 to $5,000 for suggestions, ideas or- inventions which con tribute to efficiency, economy or other 'improvement in govern ment operations, under (he terms By Joseph Alsep Government to fall in, perhaps unconsciously, with the Commu nist line. rfM0i: t The tragedy of free Indonesia is that the great quintet who. led this country to freedom Sukar no, Hatta, Sutan Sjahriri Hajji Salem, and the Sultan of Jogja did not remain united after free dom was attained. If they had stuck together, Indonesia today would already, be fulfilling. In donesia's enormous promise. -' Instead, unfortunately, a wide breach opened between the pre eminent figure 'of the. quintet, President Sukarno, and 'the Mas jumi . and Socialist parties to which all the others belonged. The Masjumi is the 'Muslem party, with the largest popular support To balance the Masju mi and the Socialists, therefore, the Nationalist party which pre dominates in the Ali government needed the : help of the. Indone sian; Communists And this was the political arrangement to Which President Sukarno gave his blessing when the Ali Cabi net was formed. The motive was local politics There is no doubt that President Sukarno and Prime Minister Ali believed they can control " the Communists; just as did Benes and Masaryk in Czechoslovakia. Moreover they have not yielded to the Communists any" of the vital levers of power that Benes blindly gave to them in Prague. Yet the Communists are pur suing their line, none the less, with obvious success. ' On the one hand, the international iso lation of Indonesia is proceeding apace; If things go on as they are going, Indonesia will hardly be on 'speaking termslwith any but Communist and neutralist pow ers when and if the moment of Indonesia's danger comes. t On, the ' other hand, '.President Sukarno's amiable dealings "witE the Communists have given them a kind of temporary re spectability, just fas ..President Eisenhower's: toleration Of Sen. McCarthy gave McCarthy a kind of temporary respectability.1 And this respectability is proving an invaluable asset to the Commu nists in their attempts to soften and infiltrate. 7;S: - i - . . . . ' 'f-rjyfS ltlAYBE the oncoming national election will change the whole picture. The odds seem to be about even that it will. But if this isolating and. softening .up process continues in Indonesia, and all Asia meanwhile trembles from a succession of new. Com munist triumphs, the wave of the future will be quite strong enough to cross the seas to this country.. Indonesia's resistance will be weakened. A sense of the inevitability of Communist vic tory .will be instilled. And so the victory will finally take place. Halt the - wave now, and the Communist task here is all but hopeless. Let the wave o-oll, and Indonesia t will eventually be engulfed. . :-: t ' Copyright, 1955, " !.

President Eisenhower sends to Congress his budget for what is known technically as fiscal 1956 which means the U.S. fiscal (money matters) year' beginning on. July l,' 1955 and 'ending on June 30, 1956. ' Here are its highlights: . In fiscal 1956 we should spend about 62 Vi billions, as compar ed with; about 634 billions in fiscal 1955 and about 67.8 bil lions in fiscal 1954. HERE'S the nub: In fiscal 1956 we should RUN A DEFICIT of about 2.4 billions as compared with a .deficit of about 4.5 billions in fiscal 1955 and 3.1 billions in fiscal 1954.
