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,

' 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

be hoped the WRA officials take the agricultural and civic
organizations of the basin into their councils in working
out uueu a program.

The coming week will be observed as Flag Week in
Klamath Falls and Klamath county. It will be an occasion
for displaying the flag and for re-dedication, of spirit and

American Officers

WASHINGTON, Jane t UP)
American army officers are erv

British commandos, their com
mender, Vice Admiral Lord
Louis Mounbatten, has disclosed.
The raider chief told report
ers nere yesterday that the color

result of "combined operations"
on the part of the British fight

American officers on 4ha

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.
