I
MacArthur and Morale
i
THE upping of General MacArthur to supreme command
of the United Nations forces in the Far East did more
for the morale of American citizenry than anything that
has happened since December 7.
, As we commented here several weeks ago, it would
have, been disastrous folly to let MacArthur remain holed
up oh Bataan or to permit him to be captured or killed
there. He is too valuable a man for that.
In all of the chain of events in the Pacific and the
Far East since December 7, there has been truly only one
bright spot for the United States and the United Nations.
That was MacArthur's stand on Bataan.
; In removing him from Bataan, there existed the pos
sibility that the act might be misunderstood as his aban
donment of his loyal band on Luzon. Now, however, there
is; no question that MacArthur was ready and willing to
remain with his Bataan troops to the end. It was good
sense, good military judgment, and response to a public
desire, that brought his move to Australia and his com
mand of the hard-pressed forces of the United Nations.
r We doubt not that the wonders it did for morale among
the citizenry of Klamath Falls, Oregon, had its counter
part in a lifting of the spirit and the determination of
United Nations people everywhere and the armed "forces
who are fighting the battles of these nations.

I Continuing Levies in Tax Rate
THE current proposal for a four-mill continuing levy
, for the fire department directs attention to the various
special levies of this type which are a part of the rate
on wnicn Klamath Falls property owners pay taxes.
Here they are: city parks. 1 mill: citv band. 410
of a mill; playgrounds and recreation, of a mill; mu
nicipal airport, 1.8 mills each year through 1944; city
library, up to 2 mills annually.
i These are annual levies, all of them continuing indefi
nitely with the exception of the airport levy. The only
manner in which these millage levies can be stopped is
by a vote of the people. They are automatically applied
to all city property each year.
I They total 5.7 mills a year. If the fire department
proposal carries, the total will be 9.7 mills yearly. All of
this is in addition to the regular operating (voluntary)
budget of the city. (The library, which has authority
to use the taxes from a 2-mill rate, is not at present using
that entire amount, but is nevertheless levying outside
the regular budget on the continuing levy basis) .
! Last year, the city Durnoses tax rate wu 27.9 mills
including these special levies and the levy for the regular
ujierauBg ouaget.
These figures are given here in order that Klamath
citizens may fully understand how their tax rate is made
up, and may study the fire department proposal in the
light of this information. The additional 4-mill continuing
icvy in uor. a matter io De passed over lightly, but to be
considered seriously in all its potential effects on the tax
rate and the value to be received from the money raised.

have already done a good deal to help us save tires. But
mere are sun a great many holes and rough spots on the

Best wishes for an early and active spring for your patch

WASHINGTON, March 18
Hitler's unamplificd prom
ise to return Russia to its "de
finitive" frontiers after he an
nihilates Its army was really a
covert reference to a secret
agreement supposed to have
been reached recently within
the axis for redistribution of
the European and Asiatic spoils
of war.
"Definitive" frontiers depend
only on who does the defining.
no natural rivers, lakes or
mountains were involved in this
one. The nazis, Italians and
Japs merely met with their
carving knives and picked out
advance slices of the Russian
meat. Tbey adopted a new for
mula to replace the old classic
Hitler-Mussolini plan for fascist
dismemberment of Russia.
The Kola peninsula and Ka
relian isthmus are to go to Fin
land. Leningrad and territory
just south of it are to go to
Hitler-dominated Estonia, Lat
via and LithuaViia. White Rus
sia and Poland are to go to
Germany as is all the Ukraine
extending over the mouth of
the Volga, and the Caucasus oil
fields to the south. Italy was to
have received some territory
south of the Caucasus under
the old "classic" formula, but
that is out now
A separate Mohammedan
state is to be created of all ter
ritory between Orenburg (south
east Russia) down to and in
cluding the west half of India
(Turkestan, Afghanistan, but
not Iran or Iraq).
The Japs get the maritime
provinces of Russia on the Si
berian Pacific coast, thus bot
tling up the Reds from any out
let by sea excepting the Arctic.
A Mongol republic is promised
for central Siberia.
This, then is the pre-vision of
the axis dominated world of
Europe and Asia Japan seiz
ing everything along the Pacific
shore and the east half of In
dia. Germany everything from
Leningrad to the Caspian, the
Mohammedans and Mongols to
share the intervening deserts,
and the Italians (as befits a
worthless ally) to get scraps
from other tables elsewhere.

Navy Names New j
Eastern Sea Head
WASHINGTON. March la
(UP) The navy, in another
streamlining move to centralize
responsibility, has named Rear
Admiral Adolphus Andrews to
the newly-created post of com
mander of the eastern sea fron
tier.
The action vests in fltld man
the responsibility for protecting
the eastern shores from Maine to
rionoa against hostile attack.
Andrews' duties fin mmmnn.
dant of the third naval district
have been taken over for the
present by Rear Admiral Ed

It has its propaganda aspects
so far as the Turks, Persians
and Egyptians are concerned.
They long have sought an Islam

short-sighted to appreciate that

a
NO ORDINARY LIAR
People ordinarily use words
to convey their thoughts, but
Hitler uses them to make you
think whatever he wants you
to think at any particular mo
ment. To a greater extent than
any politico alive, he has sev
ered the connection between
what he thinks and what he
says. He is not an ordinary
liar. Truth and untruth have
merely been banished from
thinking processes. He uses
words only as political weapons.
So when der fuehrer hinted
his spring offensive will be de
layed and the red army anni
hilated this summer, few au
thorities here even went to the
extent of State Undersecretary
Welles in accepting the opposite
as probably true. To them, it
was only a propaganda answer
to Stalin ("we have nothing
against the German people,
only their fascist leaders") for
domestic consumption and ut
terly meaningless otherwise.
Reports of extensive prepara
tions Hitler is making on the
south Russian front are more
trustworthy. A nazi attack there
within a month' is confidently
expected, unless the reds get to
them first.
SECRETIVE REDS
Only one soldier of the Unit
ed Nations has gotten near the
Russian fighting front since the
war began. A British marshal
was conducted on a Cook's tour
by the reds, but not allowed to
get too close.
The Russians thus have kept
their military secrets better
than any nation. For seven
years they are supposed to have
been building a second trans
Siberian railway north of Lake
Baikal, but no one outside of
Russia yet knows if it has been
completed, iso one knew they
were building a canal from Len
ingrad to the White sea until
it was finished.
Yet the reds have a fairly
good underground communist
movement still working in Ger
many, and an excellent one in
Yugoslavia and other Balkan
states.

Free Nations
Laud Naming
Of MacArthur
WASHINGTON, March 18
(UP) America and the other
free nations allied in the com
mon fight for existence today
thundered Joyous acclaim of the
"best news since Pearl Harbor"
that Gen. Douglas MacArthur,
a military genius imbued with
the "habit of success" has as
sumed supreme command of al
lied forces in Australia.
Wherever the standard of free
men still flew, whether it was
in Washington or London, or a
small town in New Mexico or
the plains of Australia, the feel
ing was the same: "Thank God'
that the man who frustrated the
Japanese In the Philippines has
been given the monumental task
of protecting the last allied
stronghold in the far Pacific.
"Real Fighting Man"
Tiere was joy for; the 7,000,
000 souls' in Australia, who have
implored London and Washing
ton for reinforcements since the
threat to their land became more
than real with the fall of Singa
pore. "That's wonderful!" said Wen
dell L. Willkie In New York.
"There will be a real fighting
man in Australia, croaked a
grimy little Cockney on the
streets of London.
"There's going to be something
happening down there now,"
said an American army officer
in Britain, speaking for U. S
armed forces abroad.

TOO MANY COORDINATORS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore, (To
tlio Editor) Wo aro hearing
about somo very queer hupiicn
Inns in high places. Wo under
stand that some of the frills nml
trimmings were dispensed, with
tlio exit of chief coordinators of
clvlliun defense. Mayor LaGunr
dln and Mrs. ltonncvclt. But it
seoins there aro UU0 other speci
mens strewn about tho country
under ono, Mr. Kelly of Phila
delphia. Sort of an indl-ipeu-
siblo leave over from tho formei
regime, that Mr. Landls, the
present chief, would fain wash
his hands of. There uro coordi
nators galore. Coordinators of
bowling, of golf, of tennis, of bil
liards, of marbles.
Now Mr. Editor, as mv wife
and I dont play any of Iheso
first four games, and feel a little
foolish to be caught playing mar
bles at our age. what would you
advise us to rm In case enemy
bombs start falling around us?
Who, f Instance, is tho local
coordinator of marbles? (We
might try that.) You see, we
want to do our bit to sustain
public morale, and there's noth
ing like a game of marbles, or
golf, or tennis, or billiards, or
bowling; pvrhups?
But then, we think of our bov
who last year graduated from
Klamath high and left Oreiion
State the day after "Pearl Har
bor," and is now somewhere out
in the blue Pacific in the US
navy. Wo will bo pardoned a
few misgivings about this game
of marbles bolstering our mor
ale. Wo heard an appeal for u
day of prayer to Almighty God
we liko that better. It will take
prayer, and lots of it, if we con
tlnue such crackpot ideos to bol
ster public morale.

(UP) War Production Chief
Donald M, Nelson revealed last
night that airplane production
litis approached the 301)0 n month
rate, but solemnly warned In
dustry and labor alike to beware
of axis propagandist, engaged
in a "fiendish" campaign to bog
down America's war effort.
Ho said In a nationwide radio
address, carried by all four ma
jor networks, that the enemy is
uwure U. S. production will
bring ultimate defeat, and Is
therefore attempting to divide
this nation and lead tho fighting
factions "into tho name pitfalls
ho prepared for the people of
rrancc and Norway.
"PUued and Alarmsd"
It was un obvious rcterciice to
a recent flood of axis propagan
da, cinlnuting from radio sta
tions In Home, Berlin and To
kyo, claiming that tha ull-out
production campaign Is an at
tempt to "sovlotize" American
Industry. The broadcasts also
sought to convince labor that the
current production drivo, de
signed to boost output by 25
per cent, was merely a "speed
up." "Frankly," Nelson sold, "I was
both pleased and alarmed to
learn that the nazis do not like
our production drive. They are
afraid of it. They are afraid that
this nation Is buckling down to
the production of more war
equipment, and the- know that
means ultlmato defeat for them.
"That is why I was glad to
know that the nazis take this
thing seriously very serious
ly."
