Brief Comment
kinius. the reports of wlint the armies are doing in
W Spain are muddled and affected by censorship, it is
quite plain that underlying the whole struggle is the bitter
sentiment between fascism, on the one hand, and social
ism and communism on the other, lhat is the reason
for German and Italian threats to aid the Spanish rebels.
while the French government, which is socialist, shows
evidence of strong sympathy for the struggling socialistic
government of Madrid. 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.

Telling the
Editor
Now that the politicians have muffed attempts to
capitalize on the president's invitation of Gov. 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. It is a matter for serious consideration of

vu an siaes are reminders of autumn's approach. In
mo iiuumns or me newspapers are stories about school

a certain haze on the hills, that can mean only one

M swung, it nas oeen a ousy summer, with plenty to

that next comer, promises to be even busier. There are
many things that point to business and industrial activity,
and even though the 'people will be harassed with the
political upheaval that comes every four years, it looks
like a pleasant and enjoyable season.

having the health unit in adequate quarters. 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

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

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.
