News BEM! ox 1 (TT3 3V Weekend Roundup WARTIME precautions against giving information that might help the enemy will eliminate this year the public forecast of dangerous fire weather. Good citizens will not need the forecast. From now until the general fall rains, all weather is dangerous fire weather. For various reasons, it is going to be one of the most dan- gerous fire seasons in the history of our western forests. Citizens of the Midland Empire, where forests are a vital economic factor and a source of great pleasure, know what to do and what not to do as their part in the protection of their forests. This is the yearno follow the code to the last letter. ' Recent developments in the Pacific war point to the importance of early distribution of gas masks as announced several weeks ago by federal defense authorities. The OCD this week distributed thousands of masks in key cities for use of air raid wardens and other defense workers. Presumably, no time will be lost in extending this distribution to the smaller cities in the coastal area. In its announcement of several weeks ago, the OCD indi cated more than 16,000 masks would be available for Klamath Falls. .,'' ; There will be no firecrackers for Junior this year. Fire works have been restricted or banned by law in many m- corporated areas for years, but the regulations have been loosely obeyed. Oldsters, including the police, have been inclined to tolerance of this sort of fun, even when it re quired winking at city ordinances. As a matter of fact, a lot of oldsters like to shoot firecrackers, themselves. But this year, there must be no violation of this rule, which has been strengthened and extended to the entire state under an edict issued by Lieutenant General John H. DeWitt of the western defense command. Under executive order of the president, General De Witfs orders carry the same force and effect as laws upon the statute book. Governor Sprague this week issued a statement reminding the public of the strict rule against fireworks of all kinds,' and instructing law enforcement officers to make arrests if any violations occur, i, .... ."''V ' ' While there has been official silence so far on the matter of extension of the Japanese war relocation project on Tule lake, it is apparent that such a program is being under taken. The reason for official secrecy on the development is not apparent. At the time the engineers were in this area making the first study of the site, it became clear that it offered many favorable features that would probably result in the loca tion of a large re-location settlement. Now, with the settle ment actually in operation, expansion is a logical develop ment All of the preliminary details are out of the way, and It is probably easier to build on a project already started than to inaugurate additional ones. : The, camp started as a 10,000 population program. It was then raised to 11,000, and latest reports indicate from 16,000 to 18,000 colonists may occupy the colony. It is .to he hoped the agricultural program carried on through the project is carefully worked out with a view to ra eiiect on the ennre agricultural activity of this basin, and that methods may be developed whereby the presence of the colonists may assist in meeting the farm labor prob- mu m mio nrea hub year, a pian mat is iair to an con cerned should be developed without difficulty, and it is to be hoped the WRA officials take the agricultural and civic organizations of the basin into their councils in working out uueu a program.

The raider chief told report ers nere yesterday that the color ful exploits of his men were the result of "combined operations" on the part of the British fight ing services. The presence of American officers on 4ha mando staff actually makes It an inier-amea combined staff, he added. VTASHINGTON, June 8 The ardent HH rn) ta banish all so-called isolationists from public life In tha midst of war was started by the New Re public magazine for reasons not clear at the time. The implication was that they were unpatriotic. But an in spection of their voting records In congress since December showed they generally supported every war measure and were not talking much. Actually they were no obstacle to the war ef fort. When that reason thus fell down, other publications which took up the campaign, turned to the point that the isolationists should be exterminated because they opposed getting into the war before we got Into the war, The liberals hammered that rea son for a while, but it left mat ters just as much in the dark as ever, because Mr. Roosevelt op posed getting Into the war before we got in. His speeches and statements show this to have been his an nounced policy in his re-election If that is the measure of isola tionism, then the president was an isolationist and so were most of the people of the country. Any real reason for the cam palgn continued to be unex plained until the New Republic's June 8 issue came out this week. Then it offered a good reason. It said it was not socking Iso lationists because they were isolationists,- but because most of them were against the new deal, quote: The enemies of the new deal are the very ones who could keep us from winning the peace. This is an issue which must be fought and won on the domestic front, and it must be won while the war is being waged. That clarifies the matter. The attack, it now appears, was timed all along for the primaries and the congressional elections. for domestic political reasons which are fair enough in them selves. But such a clarification certainly requires the liberals to drop that fake mantle of patri otism under which they have been hiding this purely political sword. ; -tii- The question then Is whether the New Republic and associates are going to dictate the peace ana future domestic politics af ter eliminating their political opponents from the discussion during the coming elections. MOURNING Mourning about the new tax bill is widespread among those who are making it and who may bring it out in about two weeks. Designed to curb inflation and raise $8,600,000,00, it does neith er. The government economists are clicking their teeth about it because It will make the nation's total federal tax bill about $24, 000,000,000 a year, only about one-fourth of our national In come and that income may go to $120,000,000,000 by the time the bill becomes effective. They all say it therefore cannot be a guarantee against inflation. Mr. Morgenthau first asked for a $7,600,000,000 bill and then sent up supplemental re quests which would bring it up to $8,600,000,000. As it stands now the bill would raise less than $6,000,000,000.
