Military Road Matters
CONTROVERSY developed at the recent meeting in
Portland called to promote the improvement of the
Pacific highway as a military roadway in connection with
the current government military highway program.
Seattle people at the meeting favored action of a gen'
eral nature, calling for improvement of "the most prac
ticable" north and south highway route, following
strategic recommendations of the army and navy. They
contended that the specific mention of U. S. 99, the
Pacific highway, in a resolution, would lose the support
of congressional representatives east of the Cascades in
Washington.
The discussion, according to press reports, waxed
warm but a compromise was finally worked out whereby
two resolutions were adopted, one of a general nature
and one "approving and supporting the selection of the
war department and the public roads administration of
highway 99 as of first importance in the military program."
It will be interesting to note tne extent to wnicn po
litical pressure and regional interest can influence the
aelection of highways for improvement for military pur
poses. One would suppose that the only real considera
tion would be strategic, and that decisions would be
made on a hard-boiled basis wholly unaffected by urgings
of a local nature and "civic" activity.
However, no community dare take a chance on losing
benefits that may come to those who do the "hollering."
Klamath Falla is interested, of course, in seeing The
Dalles - California highway and The Dalles - Calif ornia -Willamette
highway connections given their just dues in
the military highway program. The least we can do is
to ask our congressman, who occupies a position similar
to those "east of the Cascades congressman" bothering
the Seattle people, to see to it that due consideration is
given these routes ana to jeave no stone unturned, msoiar
as his opportunities for service are concerned, to bring
them recognition as or prime importance on tne military
highway, program.
Greetings
THE HERALD AND NEWS take this occasion to extend
New Year's greetings to their family of readers in
Klamath Falls and the great Midland Empire, our greet

who formerly lived in this area and keep in touch with
what goes on in their former home through the columns
of these newspapers.
We warmly appreciate the support and friendly in
terest of our subscribers and our advertisers. We pledge
a constant striving to do our job well, to improve our
papers and to increase our service to the big commun

gestions are always acceptable, as are the "news tips"
which flow into this office steadily from friends and

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 That
dire outline of 1041 events
to come, furnished by Mr. Roose
velt in his radio address to the
world, was the most difficult
speech he has ever prepared.
The president started out the
New Year a few days ahead of
time by resolving to write all the
speech himself. Contributions
were made to him by State Sec
retary Hull and some others In
the state department. The na
tional defense commission con
tributed recommendations for
the defense part of it. But the
president spent more than two
entire days working up the final
composite draft in carefully se
lected language.
The old brain trust advisers
who gave freely to presidential
addresses in the past are not
around any more. In matters of
such international significance
their backgrounds would be of
little assistance. As a result this
fireside chat superimposed a
wholly new picture upon the old
ghosting era.

BALDWIN EYED
The light of Connecticut's Ex
Governor Baldwin will shortly
emerge from under Sam Pryor's
bushel basket as a prospect for
the chairmanship of the repub-.
lican national committee.
Mr. Pryor, the eastern man-;
ager of the last campaign, has
been active in party circles in 1
Baldwin's behalf, and the ac-i
quiescence of his Connecticut :
colleague is believed to have 1
been secured.
These workings have bestirred
already some opposition among
party leaders in the west and
lar west. The farm belt men j letter of Dec.
wuu crtr lar more successful
than the eastern leaders in the
Willkie campaign arc casting
about for a candidate of their
own. Few names are being men
tioned, but that of Harrison
Spangler of Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
is one. He always has been
friendly to the Hoover wing of
the party and has been a work
ing headquarters influence in
some past national presidential
campaigns.
It appears. the restless search
for a party manager is heading
up into a sharp inside struggle!
Apparently the Dewey, Vandcn

WHAT HAVE WE GAINED?
MALIN, Ore., (To the Editor)
To me, Commissioner Benner's
18 was the real
essence of what every true
American should be thinking.
I hold no brief for Hitler,
Stalin, Mussolini, or Hirohito,
but if the democracy wo preach
about is so good, we ought to
practice it. The countries repre
sented by the above are a part
of the world, in a different hemi
sphere, yet in 1823 we told, by
the "Monroe Doctrine" that for
eign nations must keep out of
our hemisphere and likewise we
would not meddle outside in
theirs. Yet in 1917 we allowed
our emotions and ideals to at
tempt to establish justice in Eu
rope, and as a result conditions
in Europe haven't been so bad
for a hundred years. And we got
our fingers so badly burnt we

NO VACANCY
An inquisitive newsman asked
a White House spokesman who
is to be the new ambassador to
Britain. .
The questioner was surprised
when the spokesman replied he
did not think the president was
worried about the job because
it was not vacant.
Mr. Kennedy in resigning, ap
parently, agreed to go back to
London for a short time if an
emergency situation arose in
which he was needed.
This delicate technicality in
spired immediate speculation in
view of the harsh things which
administration hecklers have
been saying about the supposed
ly ex-ambassador, who was ex
pected to appear before congress
and the people with his version
of British needs and prospects,
probably differing from that of
Mr. Roosevelt.
"Then will Mr. Kennedy's
speeches hereafter have to be
submitted to the state depart
ment for approval?" asked the
newsman.
"He's still our ambassador,"
observed the spokesman although
no one could observe if, or how
deeply, he was chuckling.
The state department went
further In interpreting this gold
braided noose that had been
deftly dropped around Mr. Ken
nedy's neck, possibly to render
him inarticulate. It was said
there Kennedy is an ambassador
on leave without pay, and the
own business and getting squared
up from the last time we played
Uncle Sappy.
Mr. Carnahan. seems to be
afraid Hitler and Mussolini are
going to come over and settle a
score after they lick John Bull.
France seems to be about as
badly licked as any nation could
be, yet she retains her navy.
I think by the time Italy settles
the score with J. B. in Libya
and with Greece in Albania, she
will be ready to tend to her own
business. Likewise, Adolf hasn't
been able to cross the channel
yet and after he tries it he won't
be coming across the Atlantic to
settle something.
We certainly should, by all
means, be thinking, working and
helping those who served in the
last war.
Now let's stop and think just
a minute. In the ten years, 1930
to 1940, we have doubled the na
tional debt, raised it from 221
billion dollars to over 45 billion
dollars with the government ob
ligating itself for 12 to 15 billion
dollars additional. Taxes are
double what they were to start
with and they only pay half of
the bill. ,
We have a defense program
that will take at least 20 billion
dollars In the next four years.
And so we are steadily back
ing Into a war, and if we get as
much out of it as the last one, it
tried to get them to delay the
strike until we were better pre
pared. I can prove these state
ments, which Is more than Tuck
er can do about those he made.
When my fellow workers struck,
I walked out too, and when the
AFL, having taken our cash,
(about $2500. according to them)
lost Interest in us and threw us
down, I, with others, urged a
continuance of the strike until
we got a raise,
1 fought then, and I still fight
for a fair and reasonable return
for laboring men, and being a la
borer, I'm interested in tho bet
terment of my kind; but I will
not fight for nor uphold the
gangsterism, the disregard for
personal liberty or rights, tho
filching of the working mans
pocketbook, or the selfish disre
gard for national safety that ex
ists in unionism today. I want
this mess cleaned up so I won't
be ashamed to wear a union but
ton. '
Mr. Tucker, relative to coer
slon employed by AFL organ
izers, are you Just plain Ignor
ant? Your big shot friend, AFL
organizer, tried to co-erce me, by
flattery and intimidation, and
I m not the only one by a long
shot. Even your wife said she
joined tho culinary alliance be
cause she "had to." Why are you
so "hot up" about the AFL?
Well, if I were like you and be
lieved in reporting rumors and
hearsay, I might throw some
light on the matter.
Why beg the question, any
way? We were pleading for co
operation in our national de
fense, which is the most Import
ant issue In our country today.
What are the unions doing to
cooperate in our national defense
program? They say you shall
pay your initiation fee, even in
defense projects. Man's right to
work, even in defense of his
country and his home, is taken
from him by the unions.
Worse than that, recently In an
aluminum plant, where the
wages amounted to $44,000 per
day, a strike was called because
one man refused to pay tribute
to labor racketeers. Did these
racketeers, union officials to you.
