The Spirit
THE blitzkrieg on England may have started, as this is
written, in a furious storm of bombings on British
ports designed to open the way for troop crossing of the

by similar attacks throughout

This bombing from the air will probably be the most
fierce and terrible attack ever attempted. Noth

blow. Will the English be able to stand up under it .
In France, Belgium, Holland and Poland bombings
were extremely effective. In China, the Japanese have
conducted vast and destructive bombing raids on Chung
king, and yet we read that despite all of this Chungking
has increased steadily in population and has built streets
and public works between raids. What the bombing has
done to the Chinese people may be indicated in a letter
from Mil Wen-Fu in the China Weekly Review. He says:
"The more and heavier the Japanese bombs, the
deeper the hatred of the Chinese peoole for the
Japanese people and all their works, and the strong
er the will of the people to resist. So long as we
have breath in our bodies, our1 resistance will con

We're Glad It's Over
THE strike at Yamsey is concluded, and the public wel
comes the news.
There is naturally curiosity as to the details of the
settlement of this protracted dispute. Concessions were
finally made by both sides and what appears to be a
reasonable settlement was reached after lengthy dis
cussions between President Wilfred Lamm and members
of the negotiation committee at Yamsey.
But the most important fact of all is that the men
have returned to work and a festering sore in the Klam
ath country's labor situation has been healed.
It is devoutly to be hoped that where other disputes
arise, similarly reasonable settlement can be reached
without the hardships of cessation of work hardships
that are felt by the employes, the employers and the
public.

It looked like a case of per

police were called to Gilchrist
to investigate a series of fires
in the nearby woods areas.
Near the spot where each fire
was set the officers found dis
tinctive tire marks as well as
footprints. They took plaster

Their clues led them to

Mr. Negus was as puzzled as
the officers until it was discov

about hunting snags for wood

Sparks from the muffler had

officers advised him to get a

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 In
distinct noises indicating dis
content within the republican
organization are genuine groans
and grunts against the way Wen
dell Willkie has been handling
tha party routine. A good many
of the in-and-out-of-season party
lieutenants apparently resent
Mr. Willkie's failure to set up an
orthodox single unit party or
ganization along historic repub
lican lines. One eminent gentle
man who waved the flag for
Willkie at Philadelphia, for in
stance, has spent most of the en
suing period sulking with a fish
ing rod In the north woods. Oth
ers have been whispering that
tha organization work is far be
low previous campaigns. Still
more, capable of making republi
can financial predictions, are pri
vately prophesying Mr. Willkie
will not be ablo to raise suffi
cient funds the way he has been
going, not even the extremely
modest $2,500,000 to which he
restricted his organization
Mr. Willkie has apparently
heard these noises and is moving
swiftly to correct the situation.
It appears he went into this cam
paign determined to cast a whol
ly new spirit into the republican
party, and did not want too
many old faces in the front now.
It is possible he has also had less
respect for organization than
those more experienced party
men who have been closely as
sociated with previous cam
paigns. A compromise seems in the
making. While Mr. Willkie will
undoubtedly conduct an individ
ualistic campaign, the steps now
afoot should swing the older
party people into action.
gather the confidence of a suf
ficient number of the gieat mass
of independent voters to deter
mine the majority. This opin
ion represents an almost com
posite view of a great number of
politicians in both parties who
believe Mr. Roosevelt is doing
just about all he can do in con
ducting his campaign by inspect
ing national defense projects,
and that the result will be deter
mined by what Mr. Willkie does.

CAPITAL DRAFT
The way new deal pitch-men
are talking up the subject of
drafting capital has inspired
some popular suspicions that
they may have a pian- They
have and several. Long before
Mrs. Roosevelt started advancing
the idea in her column, Jerome
Frank, chairman of the securities
exchange commission, hinted in
a speech before the war college
that he had been rummaging
around in the Maynard Keynes
realm for a new program to con
script the vast reservoirs of sav
ings from banks. No. 1 brain
truster, Assistant Slate Secre
tary Berle, had even earlier
started working on a program of
creating government - sponsored
capital banks to finance trade
expansion.
But Leon Henderson, assistant
to Frank, and the price man in
the national defense commission,
is understood to be the inspira
tion behind the current renewal
of agitation. He has been slight
ly cradling a proposal concern
ing the relation of banks to the
defense program which may turn
out to be the new rabbit.
How far the agitation is like
ly to go is not yet clear. Much
of the officially sponsored talk
here seems to have a wholly po
litical flavor. The idea of con
scripting capital makes an excel
lent official offset to the debate
in congress on the bill to draft
young men from 21 to 31. Yet
at root there is obvious wide
spread sentiment among new
dealers to have the treasury take
idle savings and capital at some
insignificant rate of interest,
such as one-half of one per cent,
to finance a war if there is to be
one and perhaps even the cur
rent national defense program.

Retired Naval Officer
Advocates Sale of Old
Destroyers to Britain
i Br Rear Admiral Yates Stirling
Jr., U. S. N., Ratirad
j (Copyright 1940, by United
i Press)
NEW YORK. Aug. 13 (UP)
I The proposal to sell to Britain
' 50 or more over-age World war
destroyers of the United States
navy has aroused hot contro
versy. In the opinion of the writer,
those destroyers should be
furnished to Britain. The British
navy is all that stands between
Hitler and his ultimate goal
the resources of the Americas
and Die enslavement of their
peoples.
Little Use to Us
The destroyers in question are
of little use to us as long as the
British navy remains unde
feated. They will be fighting for
America most effectively by be
ing added to the British navy.
If Hitler can seize the British
isles and destroy the bases of the
royal navy, even though he
might not destroy or capture its
ships, he will be in a dominant
position.
With the shipyards of Holland,
Norway, Denmark and France
added to those of Germany, Hit
ler could, within the next six
years or so, with the resources
of the world at his cMsposal,
build warships that would far
eclipse anything that America
could achieve in that direction.
Why Not Ships?
The United States has more
than 150 destroyers, built during
and after the World war and
now over-age, which could soon
be made available for service.
If the United States can permit
airplanes to go practically di
rect from the United States to
England, to be used in fighting
Germany's air forces, there
would give the old salts double
apoplexy with a side case of
palsy, it is a prospect of reform
ing the manner in which things
have been done traditionally in
that department- No navy secre
tary has yet won over the ad
mirals. Developments are await

seems no logical reason why de
stroyers also cannot be sent in a
similar manner, with British or
Canadian crews.
Both airplanes and destroyers
are warships. It we are wilting
to evade the rule of international
law in one case, why not m an
other? There are arguments to the
contrary, of course. Some mem- ,
bers ot congress contend fur- j
nishing the destroyers would
mean active United States par-1
ticipation In the war. 1 still do
not see the difference between j
selling airplanes to the British
and selling them destroyers. ,
Tachnicalitias Eyed
Legal arguments also have j
been advanced. Tho New York i
Law Journal says thai under '
technical law, no ban has been
put on the sale o airplanes and
munitions but sale of destroyers
is forbidden. I
It seems entirely technical,
and a matter which congress
should decide.
There is the molter of public
opinion. To examine both sides j
of the question, the New York
Times approved of Gen. John J.
Pershing's proposal for the sale
of 50 over-age destroyers to Bri
tain. On the other hand, the New
York Daily News opposed tho
idea. The News said that since
we have decided we need I
double the strength of our pros-'
cnt navy, now can we spare 50 i
destroyers now, and perhaps 50 !
later when those have been j
blown up?
It is a question for the Ameri
can people and congress to de
cide. A healthy debate has
arisen. The writer is expressing
his opinion. Let others do the
same.

Irate cjtlens of the Mills nd

council off In no uncertain terms
Monday night In a meeting held
in the council chambers to air
tho grievances of residents who
have allegedly suffered from
summer bull games, the patrons
and the noise.
Members of the committee, ap
pointed a short time ngo by May
or Clifton Richmond, were seat
ed around the council table nnd
gave their versions of Ilic "nui
sances" which they say exist now
that the softbull 1 ir let is used five
nights each week. Committee
members Include Mrs. Anna
Pearson, H. M. Monroe serving
for Mrs. Monroe, Harold A
Brownell, ond Walter T. Raynor.
B. P. Alexonder refused to serve
on tho grounds of ill health.
First to speak in protest was
Mrs. Pearson who roinplaincd of
the "noise, screeching, and rum
to the lawn." Mrs. Pe.irson sold
Ihcro was "no pence or comfort
left for those living near tho
park." Raynor, ulthoiiKh not a
property owner, said he hud
lived in tho some house for nine
years and tho land was adjacent
to the pork. Ho advised council
members the glare of the strong
lights used for night playing was
the most disagreeable Ic.miru to
him. and many residents report
ed they could not sleep at nights
because of the lights.
Brownell told the council the
park was a "continuous mus
unec" ami that In h.nl lived in
his home for 15 years and the
loud speaker and the lights were
disconcerting. Fourth member of
the committee, II M. Monroe,
building contractor. Mid he had
his business in his home ond
there were no parkii g facilities
for those who wished to conduct
business matters with him.
Before committee members
were asked to speak. Spec Mur
ray, city recreational director,
outlined the history ot the park,
told of the large sums of money
invested, and attempts made to
clear up the dust, noire, parking
difficulties, and oilier complaints
received from nearby residents.
Murray also pointed out that
sanitary facilities would be in
stalled as soon lis f.inds were
available, the lot would he put
in turf, and thai already some
$130 had been spent in oiling
the streets of the area to reduce
the dust "
Loss of property value was
pointed out by several of those
appearing Including A. G. Pear
son who told council members
he "couldn't livo thine, couldn't
sell his place, and who would
stand the damage?''
Attorney F. O. Small, who said
he was the "godfather of the
conference," told members of
the city council ht wished them
to weigh carefully their decisions
as it affected properly holders.
"It looks to me as if you have
gone at this thing backwards,''
Small said. "You have started
the games before you are ready
and have inflicted heavy prop
erty damage on these men and
women who, in middle age, hove
put their sovlngs into smoll
homes which have now been
greatly reduced In value."
A number of persons told the
council a petition had been cir
culated asking them to approve
a turfed field for the children of
Mills addition, and to be used as
a playground with one corner
utilized as a softbnll field. The
council members denied issuing
such a petition and a few words
flew between Mayor Clifton
Richmond and A. E. Owing!
when the latter said the peti
tion read, "Mr. Richmond has set
aside these lots for such a pur
pose." The mayor informed the

The matter was lefl hanging in
