It states: Throughout the hostilities in China the Japanese press which usually Is quick to react and retort to foreign criticism showed a remarkable example of turning the other cheek In abstaining from polemics in connection with the sharp criticism of Japan in the Americau press. Glancing through the reports which follow, giving the essence of Japanese editorial comment on the sub ject, we fail to find any remarks about the situation wherein the Japanese civil government is apparently without control over the high-riding military. Dorothy Thompson, the noted newspaper columnist, remarked in her Sunday, contribution: It would appear that the Japanese civilian government ia without authority. There is no connection between the diplo matic policy and the actions of the army and navy who really rule Japan. These armed forces of Japan, which have never been defeated, apparently think they are invincible against the forces of the world, if need be. . . . The much vaunted Japanese discipline, at this moment, is a myth. . . . The aggressive ele ment of the armed forces is criminally irresponsible and reck less. Remark on that situation by the Japanese press would be impressive and encouraging to peace-loving Americans but the Tokyo dispatch fails to show that &ny such comment appeared. As it now stands, Ameri cans who understand the situation described by Miss Thompson feel no assurance that there will not be a repetition of the Panay incident. For a Better Record ARE-SURVEY of 1937 automobile accidents by Dr. George H. Adler, county coroner, shows that there were 24 fatalities in 1937 due to such accidents. This is one more than the fatality record of 1936, a fact worth the attention of motorists as they enter the new year. Klamath has a bad reputation for automobile acci dents. A few years ago Klamath Falls led the nation in the number of auto deaths per 1000 population. In 1-1. rAn n Wl r vr i f V fll rVio fatal accidents occurred uie pool. yci, " outside the city limits, giving humiliating to tne Kiamain country as a raic.

Major information bobble of the recent storm, from the standpoint of this section, was a report in the Port land papers that the Klamath Falls-Lakeview highway was closed. The Lake County Tribune thinks that maybe tate highway authorities were confusing winter and summer conditions on the road. As a matter of fact, motorists who have recently traveled to Lakeview report that the highway is in better condition than at any time in the summer. A LIXK WITH FAME DENVER (PI A r t h u r V.

Just a few more days to figure which New Year resolutions will be least embarrassing to break, 1 MARCH News Behin THF DylULflALLONT WASHINGTON, Jan. S Mr. Roosevelt seems to have a keynote of his program, very softly, 1n the personal Christmas Rifts he sent unannounced to heads of nations In the western hemisphere. All that got out about it was a one line dispatch from .Mexico City saying the Mexican presi dent received a yuletlde "remem brance" from the White House. The "remembrance" actually was a book, handsomely bound In leather with satin lining, suoh as was sent to all other leaders of Latin American nations. On the front page, the name of the recipient was expensively em bossed. Beneath the name was a personal Christmas message for each, written in the presi dent's own hand. The text, print ed in both Spanish and English, was a repetition, word for word, of the president's speech deliv ered st Buenos Aires to the Fan Amerlcan conference In the late fall of 1936. To Insiders It sounded signifi cant in view of the talked-of ex tension of the American frontier from Nome to Cape Horn, with an expanded navy capable of de fending that line against forelgu dictators. XKW SIGNIFICANCE Mr. R.'s repetition of his words, in such a personal and friendly way now after the Japa nese affair and the recent devel opment of the Gorman-Italian-Japanese alliance, clearly seemed to have that double strength and new meaning. Listen: "In the determination to live at peace among ourselves, we in the Americas make it . . . clear that we stand shoulder to shoul der in our final determination that others who, driven by world madness or land hunger, might seek to commit acts of aggres sion against us, will find a hemisphere wholly prepared to consult together for our mutual safety and mutual good . . . Let us affirm that we maintain and defend the democratic form of constitutional representative government. "In that faith we will have- peace over the western world. In that faith and spirit we will all watch and guard our hemi sphere." ACID MAX New dealers their sourest political stuff to air. tckes for dissemination. Every efficient organization has as acid man tn handio what nn one else likes to stain his fin gers with. In the new deal, the interior secretary appears to be it. But they never handed him a deader one than that grave- yara story about tbe 60 families running America. Mr. Ickes might have gotten away with it. He mentioned only a few living families like Ford and DuPont, but he made the political mistake of men tioning the name of a book which did list the 60. His blunder gave everyone an opportunity to check up on him and to discover that those 60 families, charged with starting this recent depres sion, were the old financial dynasty of 1924 some 13 years ago. The "America's 60 families" in the book of that name are really the highest taxpayers In that prehistoric political year most of whom are now dead (Mellon, Mills, Rosenwald, Duke, Baker, etc.) and whose empires no longer are influential (Still man, Morgan, Kahns, Warburg, Curtis-Bok, Thomas Fortune Ryan, etc.) One of these 60 supposed to be responsible for the latest de pression wag in a sanitarium aW v 'Renfrew of the Royal Mounted' LAST DAY TOMORROW ROMANTIC FIREWORKS and LAFFS! I SA f t 'YOU CM 17 SIDE GLANCES "Look, tlenr the judge traded me n mulch folder from the iSorniumlie lor Urrec or when last heard from several years ago. The list. In fact, is so obsolete, it does not contain names like those of the Van Sworingens, who built up a financial empire, lust it and died since the list was compiled. srinriT.u.is.M uclks Hut they're not all dead. No. IS in the list, lur instance. Is the Lelminu family from which Gov. Lehman of New York was pried to lend strength to thu presidential ticket in New York in 1936. And No. 59 la Bernard llaruch, who tripped Into the White House only last week for a friendly visit, as soon as the stock market displayed new weaknesses. Mr. Ickes could have gotten far more live ones if he could have obtained from thu Wmte House the private unpublished guest list of those grandson and granddaughter guests of young John Hoosevelt who were danc ing the big apple in the execu tive mansion at the very moment Mr. Ickes was disturbing the sleeping 60 on the air. The Du 1'onts, Dtexels and Biddies are supposed to have been represent ed. And the published dinner guest list of Mr. and Mrs. James Roosevelt that same night con tained at least one Duke, Sin and Mrs. Angii Diddle Duke and the Philadelphia Straw bridges. In general, It Is clear, how over, that If Mr. Ickes' 60 are still running the country, spirit ualism has at last come Into Its own. XOTKS Note 1 Only other thing wrong with the Ickes list is that it does not even represent those who wore supposed to be run ning the country In 1924. Miss ing are Henry L. Doherty, J. Ogden Armour, Louis Swift and many other biggest business lead ers of that era, who did not pay large Income taxes that year. Note 2 One of Mr. Ickes' pals says that broadcasting companies knew at least a few of Mr. Ickes' 60 were not tombstones because they made him sign a libel re lease for permitting him on their air. Note 3 The thing which Ickes and Jackson have not made clear yet 1b what they are going to do with the hundreds of thousands of employes of big business, after they have destroyed it.
