Main Issue Ignored
A NEWSPAPER dispatch from Tokyo reports that
Japanese newspapers were solemnly concerned over
the Panay incident. 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

outside the city limits, giving

If every Klamath motorist would adopt Secretary of

maAa in 10.39 in trip number of auto fatalities. In
effect, Mr. Snell's idea is for

a lot safer for everybody if motorists generally will
make that pledge.
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.

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

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

White House only last week for
a friendly visit, as soon as the
stock market displayed new

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.

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
