, Why Not Try It? '
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 ;;,':;:,;.;;

PERHAPS it isn't too late now
"II Rresidente," ; the pistol" expert, might still
persuade hk less accomplished opponent to accept a
shotgun or brass-knuckle solution and give up the
weapon in which he (II Presidente) would enjoy such
a superiority. Then soon, on such a program, the war
would be over. - .
FINALLY with such a precedent established, per
V haps Mao of China and Senator Knowland of
California might agree to a similar procedure, to
settle their differences on the "field of honor' instead
of insisting upon tiirowmgvthisHpbharassed old

security; grounds, an expert highly, regarded by
General MacArthur when the U.S. agrarian .reforms'
were put into practice in Nippon but a inan iwho

Secretary Benson was very emphatic about the

rVESAGREEMENTS between members of a govern-

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?
PRESIDENT Eisenhower in his recent campaign
T ; said something about the dire result that would
accrue' from: theCelectionl of a'rion-Republican con
gress; It-would; he said, be like having two different
driverson one seat of a motor car, a situation that
would surely send the car into the ditch.
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. And the senior Senator from": California,
the party's senate leader, is leading them ! R.W.R.

A prophet is -not without honor save in" his own

particularly in our: up-state contemporaries, but out
side of the state, there is praise of him even in some
of the Republican papers. For example: - I :;
; Someone has sent us a" copy of an editorial In the
Illinois State Register, well known daily of Spring

"We vigorously commend Senator Morse of Oregon for

' Senator Morse recalls struggles of past years led by such
patriots as independent Bob LaFpllette of Wisconsin and

Matter of Fact
WAVE OF THE FUTURE :
Jakarta, Indonesia Here in
Indonesia, just as much . as in
Thailand, - the political tidal
wave started
by ' the Com
munist victory
in Indochina is
the great ; fu
ture danger. '.
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

. ''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

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 '

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.
HTHA'
T is to?say: ' '
On July 1, 1956, we STILL
WON'T BE SOLVENTr V '
That's what. comes of follow
ing the ' advice of people who
want to spend too much. . ; -
A THOUGHT to ponder: ,
In this great country, we col-
lect each year, in taxes from all
sources (local, state and federal)
a total of a little less than 100
billion dollars. - i t " -
r Of this total,; about two-thirds
is collected by . the federal gov
ernment and about one-third by
ALL the local governments.
T ETS bring that as CLOSE
ff HOME as possible:
Ever y time -i :,: government
spends a billion dollars,-it costs
EACH INDIVIDUAL about $7.
It costs each HEAD OF A FAM-
JLY OF FQUR ABOUT $28.
A NOTHER thought;! '
The federal -government now
spends about two-thirds of each
tax dollar collected -and spent
It has been only about- a gener
ation since the situation was ex
actly opposite. In those days
two-thirds of our tax money
went' for LOCAL Durnoses and
only ' one-third tot ; FEDERAL
purposes. ,....:...
Y this change?;; 5t ;
.There are ,two reasons:

To put "UveV television into
Room , 474 would involve spot
ting cameras on the same level
with Mr. Eisenhower. And this
probably wouldt mean that some

Hagerty wants no part ot such
a Solomon-like decision. He pre
fers instead to have the film
cameras shooting', overhead.
