i t The FrencH Fight On
ONE of the Washington xolumnista asserts that the
reason ex-Premier Daladier was recently removed
: from the French cabinet was that he wanted France to
make a separate peace with Germany. 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

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.

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-

taincd in the interior depart

ADVERTISING
Even more practical is the
democratic national committee.

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.

AMERICAN UNIONISM
Trade unionism is as typic
ally American as a buckskin
jacket. 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? Humpback liners, banjo hits,
droopers, plunkcrs, leaping
Lenas and Japanese liners are
other names for "Texas League"
singles In baseball jargon.

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. There is no rcscr-

voir of skilled labor In this
country upon which to draw for
airplane construction, ship
building and In fact most of the
heavy industries such as needed
for war preparations. 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.
