Germany and Italy, flanked on the east by the communistic Soviet, are fearful that Spain, should the present government remain in power, will go communistic, and western Europe will become a stronghold of socialism and communism. Spain is the battleground between the two schools of thought, and the tendency of outside adherents to mix into the mess is unpleasant evidence of the danger of general war. It comes as a bit of shock, but the last report of the United States Census Bureau reveals there are 4,283, 753 Americans more than 10 years old who can neither read nor write. Here is a large segment of our popula tion handicapped at the outset for any competition in a modern world that demands the best education a person can obtain. If the individual cases of these 4,000,000 were analyzed, it might be found that hundreds of thousands are unemployed unemployed because they never have been equipped to earn an adequate living. These figures, incredible as they seem, offer a real chal lenge to every community. Adult education programs should be fostered. The government already has done much in this direction, but a great deal more of the task lies ahead. It is a big job, but it justifies any effort America can't afford illiteracy at any price.

Landon to his western states' drouth conference, it might be well to consider the incident for what it really is worth. Here is merely a meeting of the governors of several states with the president of the United States in an effort to halt the scourge of drouth in the future. The invitation of President Roosevelt, and the acceptance of Mr.- Lan don, should be construed as no more nor less than mutual recognition of a real public need. . . Attempts to read any- tiling mure into it are extremely petty. ... . . Klamath people will be interested to know that the move towards local pictures for smaller city newspapers, evidenced by the many pictures appearing in The Her- am ana xews, is spreading rapidly over Oregon. The Eugene News has just installed a small photo-engraving piani. . renaieron came m a snort time ago. Lars Bla dine, co-publisher of the McMinnville Telephone-Register, tells us that his paper, a semi-weekly, is going into the business of making its own pictures. This is a notable . trend, and it shows that Oregon newspapers are pro gressive ana aeierminea to give tneir readers the best service possible. There is considerable concern locally as a result of recent, morais oiienses against .children. Out of the flow of transients through here there can be expected to be a few moral derelicts, whose presence in the commnnir.v is dangerous.

Further more, statistics (such as those on venereal disease, for example) show, the need for a more effective public health program m Klamath county than it has had in past years. The unification of various services under one head, and out of one general headquarters, is in line with economy as well as effective service. The in adequacy of the present cramped quarters can only be realized by those who spend a little time there in the busy part of the day. THKKAT DIPLOMACY The rumors now current that the president has Information indicating a general European crisis early In September, there- tore, do not appear to be Justi fied. The way the lads at tha helm sue up the situation Is this: Mussolini might be madman enough to start a war, but they do not believe it. They would set the odds anywhere from 10 to l to lov to 1 that be will not. The game he is playing Is ob vious to tuem. it is the same one he used against France la the Ethiopian crisis, the threat- fear gamo to keep France quiet. That explains to them why he is always Inspiring belligerent press dispatches, from .Rome, i While any situation like' this in Europe Is serious. It Is not necessarily grave. Nationalistic diplomacy of all European na tions has probably over-empha sized the possibilities of war In the public mind.. ' , . whimsy: ' - The more logical explanation for Mr. Roosevelt's decision was offered by one of his sage coun selors -here, who told an alarm ed group of callers: 'I do not know how true it is, but I have heard there is a political campaign going on." The president enjoys nothing more than a little whimsy now and then. A number of bis ad visers told him from the start that bis protracted itinerary on the drought trip was needless. economically, administratively or politically, because there is noth ing outstanding be can do about it more than has already been done. The Spanish crisis, therefore, may prove to be more of a bandy excuse than a danger. ' PREPARATIONS ' Largest arms purchaser here during July was a country of which Americans rarely hear, the Dutch East Indies. Licenses for the export of 11, 400, 000 ot war materials were Issued to that Netherlands possession by the state department. No one here had any previous notion that the Dutch East Indies were aettlne ready to go to war with anyone. The answer is Britain and the Shell Oil company. Largest store ot oil In the far east is In the Dutch East Indies. Oil Is what runs battleships. The Dutch fields are largely under control of the British. In case of trou ble in the far east, they would be the centor of dispute between the Japanese and British fleets. The newly purchased "muni tions" are really military flying ooats. iney are to patrol the coast line, which covers 4 de grees of longitude, a distance as great as from New York to San Francisco.

Ore (To (he Editor) It seems fulllo for tun average taxpayer to make pro tests as to the tuudeiii'y of all pub lie offlcluls to INCREASE ex penses, iu th or t lis ii to cut thorn down. All candidates pledge themselves i to reduce expenses only to ignore all such pruiulsus, once in oitu-e. The present county court was olertud. on just such a platform, and yet continued new ways of spending money are found and put iuio enoci, A few months ago the Klamath county health department, was builunted at a total cost, if the writer remembers correctly, of tboul 118,000 yeurly. This Is about twice what this department should be allowed, but w have a goodly number of nurses em ployed at larger salaries than pri vate employers pay, plus fat ex penso allowances for maintonanco of cars, and there Is also a secre tary In addition to tha madl.-nl director. one of the rare Instances of at tention to public welfura was evi denced by our city council refus ing to oe roped lutu this health unit business, but the county court swallowed It all, hook, line and sinker.

It is. for that matter. But why rent the place at all? The court house has plenty of room for all of this business. ... In fact It has bren conducted there for years. The court failed to mention that this bouse will now have to have I a janitor and care-taker, which will no doubt cost Ido.OO more. i. mill and bent will easily tuke so. vu additional, and there are always extras and upkeep to ovory publlo building. So we have added about 1 3 S more to the amount to be paid for rent, and Klamath county tax payers now have U'loo.00 more added to their tax-burden. Useless! Uncalled fori Wan ton waste of public funds. It Is just such waste, just this disregard of public welfare that Is drugging our wholo country to bankruptcy. The worklngu.au should arouse himself to the fact that In the long run ho pays every dollar of this tax, whether It be for an armory In Klamath Falls, a dara at Bonuuvllle, a bonus to the furmer for crops destroyed or tho rout of a resl- uence in Klamath Palls.
