Detestable Practice
A FEDERAL court jury in Medford this week startled
the defendant and his counsel as well as everyone
else in the courtroom by bringing in a not guilty verdict
in the case of a Klamath Indian charged with stabbing
to death a white logger. It had been generally felt that
the government had a strong case, and at one time it
appeared possible a plea of guilty to second degree mur
der might be offered if acceptable to the court. Still, the
jury spent only 50 minutes in deliberation and freed the
defendant
In casting about for an inkling of what went on in the
minds of the jurors in this case, one is bound to suspect
that they considered the status of the white victim of
this stabbing at the time the knife was wielded. The
fact that he had been in the home of an Indian, providing
Indians with liquor in violation of the law, was certainly
not a legitimate consideration for the jurors in determin-
ine justification for a killing. But it is a well known !
fact that such considerations do frequently enter into
jury deliberations.
Reason a little along this line: the stabbing occurred
because the Indians had been consuming intoxicating
linuor; the liquor was provided for their use by the victim
of the stabbing, in conscious violation of the laws of the
United States; hence, the victim had a key part in de
veloping the situation that cost his own life.
The point we seek to make in mentioning this case
is that white men who engage in the detestable practice
of furnishing liquor to Indians not only jeopardize their
freedom by violation of federal law, but they jeopardize
their lives by creating a situation pregnant with possibil
ities of violence. And, if we are to judge from the recent
case at Medford, the chances are none too good that the
courts will avenge their deaths if they happen to become
the victims of that violence.
This area is badly infested with whites who stoop to
the low practice of providing Indians with liquor. There
must be a continued and determined effort to stamp that
sort of thing out of the community.

Pastor's Problem
AN interesting incident of the week was Rev. Victor
Newman's appearance before the Kiwanis club
Thursday.
- The hard-headed business men in the club took a ter
rific lambasting from the minister, applauding him round
ly as he went after them tooth and toe-nail for violations
of Sunday observance, failure to attend church and simi
lar practices of these modern weekends.
One member remarked, as the meeting broke up,
that he would go to church more often if he could be
assured the pastor would deliver that kind of a sermon.
And the minister's reply was that he would like to have
enough offenders in church to justify his doing so. For,
he pointed out, there's no sense in giving the faithful
the dickens for the shortcomings of those not on hand to
listen.
There you see the pastor's problem. When he does
have opportunity to speak his mind, as he did Thursday,
it s worth Hearing, and it s worth thinking about

have been selected as the first string for Klamath Union

a suggestion to folks who like sports: football isnt the
only game that's interesting and entertaining. Basketball
offers a thrilling exhibition of speed, endurance and skill.
Let's give the high school basketeers the same sort of
support the football team enjoys.

quered Europe because "it is ! might be a year hence If the

American shipments of food-!
stuffs will certainly prolong the
war and suffering.
The warning was issued by
Minister of Shipping Ronald
Cross, in a radio broadcast to the
United States at 4 a. m. (8 p. m.
Wednesday), as Britain mustered
her forces against Germany's sea
raiders. Their attacks have
made Britain's food situation
"just as grim" as in the bleak
days of 1917.
The radio warning to the
United States followed an
nouncement by the British gov
ernment, through Ambassador
Lord Lothian in Washington,
that it bad rejected a plan spon
sored by former President Her
Dert Hoover to send food to the
occupied nations oi turope.
Women Called
The government called for
large numbers of airmen and
naval officers to lead a strong
new counter offensive against
Germany's sea raiders which are
sinking British shipping at i
furious rate.
A call was issued for thou
sands of British women to go in
to the fields and produce foodstuffs.
Ministerof Food Robert Hud
son admitted that Britain's own
food shortage is "Just as grim"
now as it was In the spring of
1917 when Germany world war
U-boat offensive was running
wild.
On the other hand. Lord Wool-
ton, food minister, was under
stood to have told some mem
bers of Parliament at a private
meeting that there was no likeli
hood of Britain having to resort
to synthetic foods.
Stocks of wheat and other
essentials were said by Lord
Woolton to be "satisfactory." it

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (UP)
The United States today closed
the door on proposals sponsored
by former President Herbert
Hoover and others for feeding
the peoples of German-conquered
areas In Europe.
Following closely the British
governments formal rejection
of the Hoover and similar plans.
Secretaryo of State Cordell Hull
suggested persons and organiza
tions interested in sending relief
supplies to German-occupied
nations might ask Germany to
contribute to the cause.
. No Intention
Germany, he indicated, might
be called upon to contribute part
of its much publicized food re
serves and clothing to war vic
tims.
Hull left little doubt the ad
ministration has no intention of
asking the British to modify
their blockade so supplies can be
sent into German - dominated
countries.
Hull underscored this when
he suggested the feeding and
clothing by Germany of the
war-ridden civilians would be
in accordance with custom
when one nation has conquered
another.
Later, British Minister of
Shipping Ronald Cross warned

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 Hit
ler was answering someone
with his defensive labor speech,
but not even the all-knowing of
ficials here have been able to
find out whom. No trustworthy
information is available In offi
cial quarters concerning Internal
conditions in the third reich. The
official supposition, unofficially
expressed, is that sabotage and
unrest among worker groups In
spired the patriotic appeal. But
it was not clear whether the
condition existed in Germany or
the occupied areas or both. Pos
sibly, he also wanted to offset
the current international circu
lation of an old speech by his
agriculture minister, predicting
virtual enslavement of the work
ers of the world by German
conquests.
The pronouncement represent
ed a baffling change of tune,
nevertheless. Up to now his
Nordics have been a race of
supermen whoso physical and
mental superiority entitled them
to supremacy. This theme song
has been fatal to expansion of
the nazi movement outside the
exclusive German-Nordic circle.
Now he Is apparently indulging
himself in a change of front as
drastic as his alliance with com-1
munism by trying to play big!
brother to the workers of the1
world.
SERIOUS THREAT
His promise to subdue Eng
land when he gets around to it,
was less mystifying. Herr Goeb
bels furnished supplemental
light by announcing simultan
eously that the Germans intend
ed to "go around" the British
Maginot line, which is the Eng
lish channel.
You can find the answer to
that one in the published speech
of Lord Lothian in Baltimore.
He disclosed the British have!
information that the new drive
is to be an encircling submarine
airplane campaign to cut Eng
lish sea lanes from Spain around
to Norway.
This threat is very serious.
One official here describes it as
ten times more serious than the
bombing devastation in Britain
which is attracting public at
tention.

SWINGS AROUND
Established theories of the
new dealers are undergoing
some revision. Assistant Attor
ney General Thurman Arnold
expressed an Idea which Is cer
tainly new in the new deal,
when he argued beforo the su
preme court that unions have
depressed their own annual
waKcs and prevented low cost
housing In Cleveland, Chicago,
and other cities, by high wage
demands and denying the util
ization of prefabricated male
rials. 'The dues some unions charge
because no new unions can arise
are fantastic," he said.
Questions asked him by the
now pro-new deal court suggest
ed he is not likely to win his
case.
NEW TUNE
One of the outstanding ad
vanced economic thinkers of the
new deal group is simultaneous
ly astounding his frlcnda by say
ing this is "No time to worry
about prices it is about time
some one made some money."
But the most striking re
declaration was Mr. Koosevelt's.
In his message to the Economic
club he inferentially suggested
the administration further relax
its old emphasis on group causes
in favor of a program of group
unification, tie sulci the present
