Japan's decision to continue
negotiations with the United
States came as the breath of war
was blowing hot upon the Pacific
but It isn t surprising since it
bears out the indications that
Tokyo is anxious to evade con
flict with America.
The decision, is, of course, im
pelled by necessity. It may even
be that it is calculated to give the
Japanese more time to try to
make up their minds who is
going to win the European war,
One of Japan's greatest prob
lems has been to guess the out
come of tthe conflict correctly
If she crosses swords with
America and Britain, and Ger
many loses, it will be just too
bad for the land of the rising
sun. It might be just too bad
anyway, but that is a hazard of
another sort.
This being so. it is quite pas
sible that the reverses suffered
by the Germans in these last
critical hours of the Japanese
(Sablnet's debate may have had
much to do with the decision to
continue negotiations with Wash
ington. Had Hitler's forces swept
on into Moscow, or knocked the
allies out in Libya, we might
have had a different story from
Japan.
They call the nazi chieftain
"lucky Hitler" in Germany be
cause of the uncanny frequency
of his successes, but the past
weekend very definitely has
been one of his off-times. This is
by way of reporting that the al
lies have struck some powerful
blows of great potential import
ance. - The fuehrer has had a tre
mendous setback in the sensa
tional feat of the red army not
only in forcing the nazis out of
Rostov the hinge on which the
gate to the Caucasus swings but
in hurling back the invaders to
the west along the Black sea
coast. Indeed, if the bolshevists
can hold the advantage they
have achieved it will have a vital
bearing not only on the outcome
of the war but on its duration.
Here it is necessary to repeat
what has been said in this
column 'before to the effect that
Hitler's resources aren't going to
stand the strain unless he can
tap new supplies. Either he must
knock Russia cold as he did
France, or he must escape the
increasingly chaotic conditions
on the blockaded European con
tinent by breaking into the Cau
casus and the Middle East.
Now the greatest blow Hitler
has had in his efforts to reach
this land of milk and honey is
the red victory at Rostov and
westward. There are few things
the allies could have achieved
that would have contributed
more toward shortening the war
in their favor. "
Don't forget that this conflict
is going to be won on resources,
and the allied strategy must for
ever be directed toward keep
ing the nazis from reaching fresh
supplies.
Then as a companion piece to
the Rostov victory, the allied
forces in Libya continued to
maintain the advantage in their
offensive against the axis forces.
The Germans and Italians ap
pear to be trapped in Cirenacia,
for the allies have raced west
ward across the hot sands to the
gulf of Sirte and bid fair to cut
the axis off from retreat toward
Tripoli. In other words, the German-Italian
forces in Libya are
in grave danger of being annihi
lated or captured, a fact recog
nized in the fierce defense they
are making.
Skirmish Occurs

British motor torpedo boats and

News Notes and
Comment
By MAURICE O'CALLAGHAN
Well, as Friday draws itself
nearer on the old calendar, the
boys of the Boys Alliance carnl-
val are working
ai zuu speea 10
finish plans for
the big festival
of fun.
The carnival
committees are,
or will be ready
to bark out at
the customers of
the carnival, De
cember 5 in the
-' big gym at the
high school and attempt to ped
dle their wares to the public.
Doors open at 8 o'clock, dancing
starts at 0:30.
The Home Ec club's sale of
towels, stuffed animals, and oth
er home brightening articles has
been postponed from Wednesday
to Thursday.
The articles the girls are sell
ing are ideal gifts for feminine
adults.
Kraters were distributed
Thursday as scheduled with their
new type. The paper comes
forth with "stymie bold ' con
densed" on all pages except the
editorial, which will remain the
same. The new type is the sur
prise we told you about.
It is a type similar to that
used in the Oregonian. It
should prove a new and better
asset to the Krater.
Seems as if the journalists
hold the top place tonight.
The Klamath chapter of the
Quill and Scroll will handle the
sale of defense stamps in the
high school. The sale will be
gin Thursday.
m m
In every town, drives are
staged by groups to help those
who are not as well off as the
others. Klamath Falls is of lit
tle or no difference. As Father
Time brings the last pages from
the calendar, the Hi-Y is racing
with him in their annual drive
for food for the needy. The boys
work from about the first of
December until a day or two
before Christmas gathering and
distributing the food. Everyone
is very generous in helping them
in the past, but why don't each
one of us try to add just a little
to what we used to give? It may
make them a little extra work in
the long run, but the boys receive
enjoyment from the enterprise
and it also will aid greatly in
making someone else enjoy the
Yuletide more.
Those who haven't paid their
second installment on the El Ro
deo are asked to do so before
Christmas. Of course you can
wait till the day school is out,
but we suggest that you pay
now and have your money then
for Xmas gifts.

D RECTOR SAYS
OREGON
FACES
OF
PORTLAND, Dec. 4 (JP) L.
C. Stoll, state employment serv
ice director, said today that Ore
gon faced an economic crisis that
would mean wholesale unem
ployment unless concerted ac
tion was taken.
He estimated that at least 35,
000 men working in lumber,
heavy industries and the sheet
metal and building trades soon
might find themselves Jobless,
due to the Impact of nationally
applied non-defense building re
strictions and the scarcity of de
fense contracts. .
In addition, 20,000 men now
are available and seeking ship
yard and allied jobs.
Shutdowns already are begin
ning in the lumber industry and
are expected to spread from the
coast to the Columbia basin and
finally to the Willamette valley.
To complicate the situation,
other workers are migrating
here in search of defense lobs.
and another 5000 trainees who
soon will join the job-seeking
throng are enrolled in defense
industry schools.
Governor Sprague suggested
that the remedy might be a pool
ing of efforts by affected indus
trial and labor groups, the cham
bers of commerce and the Ore
gon economic council, the latter
serving as a "quarterback" to di
rect attempts to gain greater de
fense contracts.

Pilot Passes
PORTLAND. Ore., Dec. 4 (JP)
An early-day airplane pilot, de
scribed by members of his fam
ily as having demonstrated in
1912 how to bomb a battleship
by dropping oranges on one at
the Philadelphia navy yard, was
buried here yesterday.
He was Victor D. Yonck, 73,
who died Sunday at the home of
a daughter.
Yonck was forced into retire
ment by Injuries suffered in a
crash in 1913. Prior to that time
the native of Belgium who learn
ed to fly from Ollieslager, famed
Belgian pilot, had given flying
exhibitions along the Atlantic
coast.
The reason German airplanes
show loggy performance in the
air is poor gasoline. British-analyzed
fuel in downed planes
showed octane 73 to 83, the or
dinary automobile range.

CORVALLIS, Dec. 4 (JP)
Oregon State collego Is not seek

the recognized field of land
grant colleges as defined by luw,
nor ts it engaged in controversy
with any institution. So read n
statement issued hero by col
lege administrative officials in
answer to an nddress last Fri

ath Falls, a member of tlio state
board of higher education.
The statement points out that
the original law defining tho
scope of land grant colleges, par
tially quoted by Groosbcck. re
quires that the federal funds be
used for colleges "where the
leading object shall be, without
excluding other scientific and
classical studies and including
military tactics, to teach such
branches of learning as nro ro
tated to agriculture and tho me
chanical arts in order to promote
the liberal and practical educa

continued.
"With the abandonment of
that unified curricular plan at
Ashland October 28, the state
college Is duty-b'ound loconforrrl
to the now policy of the board
by moving to bring the instruc
tional service at Oregon State
college In line with that of simi

the specific educational needs of
the state." tho statement went
on.
Oregon Stato has nine major
courses compared with an avo
rngo of 12 for the other 11 land
grout Institutions In tho west,
college officluls said. All of the
largest Institutions give majors
in business or social science or
both, they said. These facts do
not bear out Groesbeck's state
ment that "the college had bet
ter do Its Job within Its own def
inition before it begins to Inter
fere with the university," the
statement added. It further add
ed that the college has never at
tacked any other Institution, has
never asked that any work at
any other institution be discon
tinued. TAX MONEY SAVED
