M. Daladier, so . the story goes, argued that the French cause was virtually hopeless, that little help could be expected from British fearful of invasion of. their own little island, and that something could be saved for France out of an Immediate Yuasoa with thn ftorman eonnueror. ): Until a short time ago the French government. He was demoted Dut Kept in uie :Bhinit: now he is out. and his reported proposal was ; turned down by men who all costs and fighting on even if it is necessary ior me government to leave the country. At this juncture, it is impossible for the world to know how seriously the sug gestion for a separate peace was considered. Today, the : world is awed bv the heroism of France. i Battered and driven, ready to give up the defense of their beautiful capital, the French fight on. Their lines are lengthened and thinned, more susceptible than ever to successful attack by the German juggernaut Their government has fled to the southwest. A great area of their country has been over-run and devastated. Their civilians are on the march losses have been terrific A on new fronts. ( Only their morale, the ' Imbued by it they fight on. ; yialiant chapter in history. . 1 Photographing Crater Lake SO many pictures have been taken of Crater lake, one -would think the proper technique would be known to all who click shutters at masmificent'. scenery. ifeBut no one knows how been taken of Crater lake. -yes, we have, taken a lot displayed. , Arno Cammerer, the director of the national park service, writing for a photography magazine, gives some tips that should be of interest to the thousands of camera fans who visit Klamath county's greatest scenic attraction. ! Mr. Cammerer says that you can't get a good picture by, shooting at a hole in the ground. You have to put something in the foreground something to frame or set off the magnificent background that is Crater lake. A tree, or an equestrian (or maybe better still an eques trienne) or something of the sort, should be relatively close to the lens when you shoot with a camera at ' Crater lake. 1 Come to think of ft, most of the good pictures of Crater lake have followed this technique. Mr. Cam : merer advises it not only for Crater lake, but for other : "holes in the ground" such as the Grand canyon. j - Official primary election returns show that about 60 per cent of Oregon's republicans voted May 17, as .against a 49 per cent vote by the democrats. The dif ference is neglible, and in contrast to the poor showing of the democrats in Klamath county. Here only 37 per . cent of the democratic registration voted, as against a 52 per cent republican vote. The fact that the state vote did not show a similar general trend makes the Klamath county situation interesting and' worthy of further speculation as to why it came out that way.

OBITUARY CLAUDE FRANCIS LEONARD Claude Francis Leonard, for the last ten years a resident of Klamath county, Ore., passed away in this city Wednesday, June 12, 1940, at 9:19 a. m. fol lowing an illness of two years. He was a native of Council Bluffs, la., and at the time of his death was aged . 63 years 2 months and 9 days. He is sur vived by his wife, Mrs. Arvllla May Leonard of this city. The remains rest in the Earl Whit lock Funeral home, Pine street at Sixth, where friends may call after 2 p. m. Friday. Notice of funeral to appear in the next issue of this paper. Two Tourists Injured In Crash Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Durln, of San Jose, Calif., were in the Klamath Agency hospital last night as a result of an auto acci dent three miles north of the Agency on Highway 97 late -this afternoon. Mrs. Durin is suffering from a fractured leg and possible frac ture of the jaw and Mr. Durin from cuts and bruises. According to state police the Durin car was traveling north on the highway when it sud denly veered off to the left and crashed into the ditch border ing the road. No other car was Involved, police said. THE NewsIx BeHIMM WASHINGTON, June 13 The " historic French interior line of resistance on the Loire river looks stronger on the map than it is. Its rolling hills would have offered firm geographical defenses in the last war, but this time the hills are insuffi ciently steep and woods too far apart to afford many natural obstacles than the new German tanks overcame north of Paris. Most unsatisfactory feature of this line however, is that it con cedes the best French porta and the great bulk of the French in dustrial region to the hordes of force. Without industrial pro duction, the French could not hope to maintain a battle line there very long. AGAINST ADJOURNMENT GANGING Roosevelt leader in the house Mr. Rayburo, has been saying around the demo cratic cloakroom he would like to see a democrat vote against adjournment of congress. Short ly thereafter the entire Okla homa delegation and then the Virginia delegation decided to vote against it. Individual represen t at 1 v e s could be effectively punished by Mr. Rayburn but not entire dele gations. RULING THE SEAS SEAL1NE Prospects of Brit ish and French navies ruling the seas from bases in Iceland, Can ada, Greenland and Bermuda in case land resistance becomes impossible do not look good to naval authorities here. The al lies could put up a blockade against the dictators, but it could not be as effective as the one they have been conducting. German and Italian craft could slip through the vast area in foggy and rainy weather almost at will. , Hitler has lost about one-third of his fleet in the war. He still has two battleships, one or two pocket battleships, three of the seven cruisers he started with, and many of his 45 original de stroyers. All of his submarines have been lost, but it is not known how many he has built since the war started. The Ital ian fleet can be bottled in the Mediterranean. Thus the allied navies, the Japanese and ours could be the only armed ships worth mentioning upon the free seas. Any three of these four navies could rule the three fourths of the earth's surface which is water for many years to come. Three to four years are required to build a cruiser. How much harm it would do Hitler and Mussolini is debat able. If completely successful on land, he can probably turn the seized industrial plants of Belgium and France to substan tial productive effort within six months time. Where he is going to get food this coming winter, however, is not clear. HARD CHOICE Something like the personal courage of Lincoln in the eman cipation proclamation was be hind Mr. Roosevelt's choice of a course at Charlottesville. It may seem to have been the only course now that be has taken it. But he made it in the face of the unanimously black confidential reports he has received on the allied outlook and in the dark knowledge that he was tempo rarily deficient in guns to back up his words. In effect he was committing himself to a course he could not control. The alternative would have been to refrain from displays of belligerency toward prospective victors until fully armed and ready. Such a choice apparently occurred to a number of con gressmen who have been growl ing, mostly in private, that the Charlottesville address was eith er too late or too soon to be de cisive. That's about the same advice Lincoln received from, his cab inet on the emancipation proc lamation. The stirring enthus iasm of such efforts can gener ate a driving force to overcome practical considerations. METALS BILL Not all political forces here have laid aside practical consid erations. The silver bloc, for in stance, is backing an amendment to the reconstruction finance corporation bill which will pro vide government loans for placer miners and corporations to go out and hunt up more gold and stiver mines to add to prevail ing surplus stores. The amend ment also mentions tin, which is a legitimate strategic mate rial, and the movement is being promoted under the guise of add ing to this and other needed products. About 20 senators signed their names to this pro posal. Incidentally the U. 8. hag not paid claims due for mining ven tures started similarly during the last war. A bureau is main- NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, SIDE GLANCES Mi urwtr t "Sure. I'm low you'd be, too, if your brother was celtin" married an' you faced the future without spemlm money!" taincd in the interior depart ment to handle these claims. ADVERTISING Even more practical is the democratic national committee. Largest advertisers in its con vention book this year as usual included private business firms doing business with the govern ment two typewriter firms, air lines. operatinR under postoffice subsidy, a dredging concern oper ating under government con tracts, aircraft engineers who make planes for the army and navy, etc. The three largest rub ber companies apparently got together so each would buy just as much democratic advertising as the other. They bought exact ly $3125 apiece. But the two largest democratic advertisers were brewers who took $70,000 worth of this indirect govern ment prestige.

The labor movement has grown up with the American way of doing things- In the early colonial days there were trade associations ol stone cut ters, printers, tailors. The car penters in 1836 won the 10 hour day through strike action. Prior to that time men worked "from sun up to sun down" and the strongest argument used against the 10 hour day was that "workers with leisure would fill the cities with idle ness and vice." The year 1877 was marked by riots and blood shed In a truly American fash ion. And, there were no foreign "isms", to be made the scape goat then! We Americans are a hurly burly lot. Transcontinental rail roads were built with a tremend ous waste of men and money. Not a few sections in the United States can point lo a race be tween two roads to a certain spot to get a franchise, every one knowing that one of the roads would lose. Not a few of our splendid religious organiza tions can trace beginnings back to harangues and debates which lasted for days in groves and rough hewn tabernacles. Such terms as these havo marked the struggle of organized business: "land grabbers,' "carpet-baggers," "cut throat competitors," etc. Can anything good come out of the current labor struggle? Can organized labor make it self understood? Can the unions develop Into strong, leliable, so cially sound American institu tions?

BARS TO PRODUCTION GREENVILLE, S. C. (To the Editor) To the thoughtful voter who wants to see an ade quate and comprehensive plan for national defense worked out, the news emanating from Wash ington is discouraging and bodes 111 for the future of American democracy unless the Independ ent voters of the country speak out now in no uncertain terms and make their volets heard In the councils of both political parties. What is transpiring today In the United States Is but a re echo of what has happened in the past In England and France a stubborn insistence of the parly in power that they alone are capable of dealing with the international situation which they have permitted to take the country unawares, simply be cause the leaders did not have the moral courage to come out in tho open and tell the public the truth and up until recently the opposition party was equally devoid of moral leadership. The truth of the present situ ation as It concerns this country is that both England and France while actually engaged in war havo managed to bring about changes In their governments that would enable them to wage war more vigorously and the same can be done in this country if the public wills it. In a sound democracy no man or group of men aro Indispensable for carry ing on democratic processes of government, as has been amply demonstrated by recent political events In England and France and with equal force it can be demonstrated in tins country if the public demands It To a dispassionate observer I the public Is beam treated to the same old political "run around" and no one In high authority has yet come out In a forthright manner and told the public the sacrifices all classes of people will have to make in order to be prepared to preserve our free institutions. The Ameri can public today is being lured into a false sense of security just as was the French public by the Leon Blum popular front government about four years ago. The Blum government In spite of the danger signals of German re-armament embarked on a program of social reforms similar to what we have been undertaking In this country for the past few years a forty hour week, wages and hour laws and the whde gamut of social legislation such as wo are now living under. The result has proved almost disastrous to France as her preparedness pro gram lagged and enabled the nazis to get such a lead as the British and French have as yet been unable to overtake. The American public, as well as labor, might ss well be told the truth at this time and the sooner they will accept It and demand action of the govern' mcnt the better it will be for the future safety of the country. The recent Washington confer ence of airplane manufacturers, which the president called, clear ly indicates that tnt goal of 50,000 planes a year is unattain able for at least two years un less there is some modification of labor laws.

The labor leaders of the country are re sponsible for this shortage of skilled labor for they have ex cluded from tholr unions a suf ficient numbor of apprentices to create such a reservoir. There fore If this country is really going to get anywhere with Its preparedness program there Is but one other alternative and that la longer hours ol labor for the existing labor supply and the enlargement of the number of apprentices In unions. In such clrcumstancos If labor leaders Insist upon war Indus tries paying time and a half for overtime the tax payers are going to be bled white and the cost of the defense program en ormously Increased, In order to get off to a proper start on our preuarednoss pro gram the congress before it ad Joums, should re-examine the various restrictive laws and policies which will keen the in dustrlal machine from reaching its maximum efficiency. The walsh-Healy end the Vinson' Trammel acts, certain regula tions under the wage and hour and the Wagner acts and cer tain trends In the department of justice now bar the way to the peak of production. The con' gress aided and abutted by tho executive, should with courago take up these mattes and speed ily as possible. Will they do so? I fear not unless public opinion Is brought to bear. There is no doubt that tho rank and file of American labor Is as patriotic as any other group of our cllircns and as willing to make any sacrifices demanded by the public welfare as any other group but can tho same be said of some of Its leaders? Time will tell and labor itself and the public as well should be on guard against the "fifth column." National unity must prevail at all costs and leadership drafted regardless of party affiliations.

EGYPTIANS MOVING CAIRO, Thursday, June 18 (UP) Egypt today moved slow ly toward war with Italy, her empire neighbor on the west, after a unanimous vote by both houses of parllamont severed diplomatic relations batween the two countrlos and the Italian minister was handed his pass port. Despite Premier Benito Mus- i ollnl's assurance In his declare- tlnn of war on Monday that Egypt had "nothing to fear," the Egyptian parliament asked the government to give Its utmost support to Great Britain and to France as well In "the de fense of right and liberty," King Farouk, 20 year old monarch of the Egyptians, Is ex pected to Issue a proclamation clarifying the extent of Egypt's aid. (Egypt Is aligned with Britain by the Anglo-Egyptian treaty of alliance signed In London In August, 1938, which terminated the previous stationing of Brit ish armed forces In Egypt but permits Britain to keep forces here for defense of the Sues canal.
