Aviation Future Here
ELSEWHERE in this paper is a news story covering the
C year-end report of the city-wide airbase committee
appointed last summer by Mayor John Houston. For defi
nite reasons, publicity on the work of this committee has
been scanty, and this is the first general report on its
The committee expresses the opinion that the Klamath
fills airport is not being and will not be overlooked in
tSe defense of the mid-Pacific area. It is understandable
that the federal authorities will not disclose at this tune
any specific plans for various defense developments, and
therefore activity may come to the Klamath airport with
oot the fanfare of publicity that would have accompanied
Iti before the outbreak of war.
For the future the long view the thing of greatest
importance to Klamath Falls and the surrounding district
in" this connection is the assurance of a fine airport here.
That has already come in the extensive development car
ried on by the civil aeronautics administration in cooper
ation with the city.
The effort made here for airport and airbase develop
rrjent has been a contribution to national defense and to
t$e future welfare of this community.
Greetings

Herald and The Klamath News offer greetings to
tneir big family of readers and express appreciation for
patronage and support from subscribers and advertisers.
May 1942 bring prosperity and good cheer to all.

will not be as bad for busi

the mourners bench suggest.
Sales will be great Nearly
everyone will be employed.
There 'will be more money in

greater stocks of goods on mer

than ever before.
It is true no new cars or tires
will be available. But 3,750,000
new passenger autos were sold
last year. Not many people will
lack efficient transportation. All
metal goods will be tight, (sew
ing machines, iceboxes, etc.)
But the average American will
not have to tighten his belt yet
as the Germans did, only ease
his foot from the accelerator of
living.
The careful calculations of the
commerce department suggest
retail and service sales through
the year will average as high
as 1936, which was not bad.
LABOR SHORTAGE
A labor shortage is in pros
pect for the latter part of the
year. The old defense program
contemplated 3,000,000 addition
al workers; the new one will
require twice as many. Taxes
will be terrific. You can expect
heavier nuisance taxes, probably
a slight increase in income
taxes, possibly a payroll tax.
The middle classes and success
ful people (doctors, lawyers,
teachers) will be hit hard. For
them there will be no prosperi
ty. Their pre-war incomes will
be cut tremendously by taxes
and higher prices. But a fairly
formidable price restriction bill
will be passed by congress to
stave off the giddiest heights of
inflation for 1942 at least. The
national income as a whole will
rise from $92,000,000,000 in the
old year to about $110,000,000,
000 in the new.
Small manufacturers will suf
fer. Earnings of companies will
be limited. A revolutionary
change in business customs will
take place, but the alert busi
nessman will survive and suc
ceed.
HITLER'S CHOICE
Hitler, the war maker, has
four doors to 1942 open this
new rears. He will probably
take the one into Turlcpv in
quest for oil. The alternatives
are: to fight across Gibraltar
into Ainca; to do nothing; to
attack Britain.
Latest international reports
in tne oil trade (accepted by of
ficials here) indicate der
xuenrers great oil reserves.
built up for this war, are now
down to about a two months'
supply. At the outset of the war
he had eight million tnn fn rp.
serve. Only six months ago, he
iiad even more ten million
tons, counting what he had ob
tained in Rumania. Poland anrl
Russia. But the Russian cam
paign has cut him down to a
four million ton reserve, with
consumntion mnnlne at twn
million tons a month. Counting
his synthetic production, plus
his Rumanian supply, he is
getting less than one million
tons a month with which to
meet his deficit.
LOST MANY TANKS
Der chesty fuehrer has like
wise lost many more tanks than
show in the Russian communi
ques not to the reds, but
through deterioration running
around a thousand mile front
At the start of the war he had
12 panzer divisions. By the time
he was ready to attack Russia
he had 21 for that front, two or
three in north Africa and one
in Yugoslavia. His losses from
deterioration and battle have
now caused him quietly to re
organize several panzer divi
sions into infantry divisions.
Likewise, the past few days
the reds have had superiority in
the air at the front for the first
time in the war. Joint British,
American and Russian plane
production now outstrips the
German.
Certainly this is not a happy
New Year day for der mighty
fuehrer.

obvious prospects of bad news

WHAT TO SAVE
The country apparently wants
to save tin cans, tin foil, razor
blades and old license plates
regardless. Protests have poured
in upon this column since its
contrary advice. The govern
ment however, does not desire
that the nation save these items.
Conservation division of OEM
found processing and collection
costs were too high to warrant
such action at this time. Inabili
ty of the average citizen to dis
tinguish between lead, tin and
aluminum foil makes that fa
vorite contribution of every citi
zen in the last war impractical
so far in this one.
At army camps where large
quantities of cans are available
without cost, they are being col
lected. In Texas (where the gov
ernment has an experimental
plant) and in some Pacific re
gions, can salvaging also is be
ing tried. A few junk dealers
in other localities find a profit
in reclaiming some cans.
But OEM wants you to save
only: newspapers, old rags,
scrap metals, old rubber. These
you must tie in neat bundles
and sell to your junk dealer or
give to the Salvation Army.
Two state boards to supervise
the work have already been ap
pointed. Three-fourths of the
states will be ready within 30
days. Pledge cards will be cir
culated to housewives through
grocery stores. But you must
start now. Make this the first
of your New Year resolutions.

Wide World War Analyst
The Japanese reportedly are
dying forty to one for their Brit
ish enemy on the edge of the
steaming jungle country of the
Malay peninsula, and are being
slaughtered by tho Filipinos
southeast of Manilii but still the
Japs continue to come In ever
growing numbers to Increase the
pressure In both these strategic
centers.
And as the Nipponese soldlurs
fling themselves into the flames
of death with that fanatical aban
don which marks their race, the
Japanese nation watches for
Premier General Tojo to journey
to the Grand Shrines of Ise to of
fer his pagan prayer for victory
to the sun goddess, Amatcrasu
O Mi Kami. The whole dramu
of this war with Its oriental out
look and barbaric practices Is
fantastic like a yellowed page
of history from the days of Uie
Shoguns.
Still, fantastic though It is,
there Is no gain saying it Is so
very real that the position of the
allies in the far east grows more
grave hourly as they await rein
forcements. The Japanese, oper
ating close to their island king
dom and having plenty of well
equipped bases, possess a vast od-
vumage at this stage.
'There is no telling how much
ground the allies may have to
give in these early duys. Cer
tainly the temporary sacrifices
may be great, and we should be
prepared for that possibility. As
remarked before, it depends on
the nature of the reinforcements
and how soon they arrive.
One hears mony expressions of
concern that American reinforce
ments haven't reached Manila
before this, but there is no oc
casion for such surprise. Even
if help started Immediately after
the attack on Pearl harbor, it
could scarcely reach the battle
field by this time, assuming that
a convoy was involved. It's a
long haul across the Pacific.
Then, too, one would scarcely
expect a naval contingent to try
to proceed direct to the Philip
pines, running the Japanese
blockade which has been swung
across he accustomed route.
There are other possibilities,
however, but involving a longer
voyage.
Australia provides excellent
naval bases. Sydney, with Its
new graving dock, which is big
enough for a battleship, is one
of them. Brisbane is another.
And then we have the northern
port of Darwin, which is stra
tegically situated in relation to
the entire war-zone. It is close
to the Dutch East Indies, and
only about 2300 miles from eith
er Singapore or Manila. Numer
ous allied Island-bases He much
closer.
Since the European war start
ed and the Japanese threat de
veloped, Darwin has been great
ly developed. Not only has the
docking accommodation been ex
tended, but a modern military
airdrome has been built and the
port has been connected with
southern Australia by a military
highway which links with railways.
