This newspaper has received a number of calls from local residents who have gathered materials they thought would help the war effort, only to discover there was no place to dispose of them. This frustration has led to some pretty definite expressions of disgust Now, according to President Roosevelt, people who want to collect can get busy on rubber scrap. There will be a nationwide campaign to get together all the old rub ber in the country, and from that point there can be a more realistic planning for meeting rubber shortage. The results of the rubber collection campaign may affect gas and tire rationing, and that means something to just about everybody. A man in New York named Elliot E. Simpson, an independent rubber dealer, has been urging a nationwide collection of rubber for reclaiming purposes, and has told a congressional committee that this country can sup ply all civilian and military rubber needs without work ing hardships on the people. Simpson thinks the country ought to make wide use , of ersatz, as has been done in Europe. He declares that restricting orders are being placed on consumer goods in the U. S., creating in the case of rubber a "mythical" 'shortage. " Simpson says he has taken common materials and con verted them into products required, by civilians; He has combined paper and - asphalt into materials for belts, trunks, suitcases and sock-lining for shoes. He has harden ed paper with certain chemicals and. iihe result was an efficient material for shoe soles and heels, according to his account In the field of bedroom slippers, he says, a combination of newsprint, sawdust Tags and rubber dust will make soling material. H reclaimed rubber and ersatz wHl help us' meet all military needs and at the same time cushion the hard ships of the war on civilian life, lefs have them. If our part of the deal is to gather and turn in "rubber scrap, let's do it - ; Can City People Help? A POSSIBLE farm labor shortage in the Klamath basin in harvest time, discussed on this page by a Merrill correspondent ia. generally regarded with concern. How serious the shortage may be is a subject of some disagree ment but it there-will not be the plentiful supply of competent hands such as was available in" the years prior to 1941. Last year, transient labor moving through here was pretty poor stuff. People worth their salt were generally at work at defense jobs. This condition will probably be even more pronounced this year. . However, the FSA again plans to operate mobile camps at Merrill, Malin and Tulelake, and presumably some of the people who follow, the harvests will be here and some of them will be good workers. As our correspondent relates, some effort has been made elsewhere to get city people out in the fields to help harvest the crops. Varying stories of the success of these enterprises have reached our ears. We do know from comments we have heard that many people of Klamath Falls would be glad to give their assistance to the farmers if an emergency develops. And many of these people have had some farm experience and know something as to what it is all about The most serious problem would be physical condition. Fanners, we believe, are generally skeptical of the ability of city residents to handle farm jobs, and they may be right But a lot of urban folks, with the right spirit behind their efforts, might do a great deal of good in a labor emergency on the farms. It wouldn't be a bad idea to start now on a plan for marshalling urban help in case the need arises. In the meantime, the employment office here reports there are a number of boys of the middle 'teen ages registered at the office for farm work and can't get jobs. It also reports that no calls for farm help have been going unfilled. The situation, for the present, seems to be pretty well in hand. No Sugar Beet Loss, Sroll Says PORTLAND, June 10 UP) L. C. StolL state employment erv.ee director, predicted Mon day there would be no sugar beet crop loss In eastern Ore gon. ' He said the labor shortage has almost been solved, and any loss will be negligible. An additional 190 Japanese from the evacuee assembly cen ter left here, joining 100 others who volunteered for work in the harvest. - WAILING WALL CHICAGO m Walt Sands, OCO block captain, has invited his block residents to a meeting where they can cry to their hearts' content about rationing operations. . . But, when the wailing has end ed, he'll ask the assemblage to view an old tire, sugar cubes, a coffee and a gasoline can and repeat this pledge: "I do hereby now and forever cry for the last time about sugar, coffee, tires, gasoline and any thing else I may have to use less of, or go wlth&ut, for the dura tion." : , Ueaetat fciltor Carrier tn Cltj .T - l-ii ENLIST IN NAVY PORTLAND, June 10 W Naval enlistments announced here Tuesday included: Klamath Falls Gail C.

Readers say they always thought the Japs were treach- erous treaty-breakers, but that if we make treaties for disarms ment with Germany and Italy (and Russia?) after this -war, it may be different, because we can trust them. ... None of this is true. Treaty breaking is not a racial or na tional characteristic of certain nations. Let us face the truth. Japan, Germany and Italy fell into the hands of military cliques which deluded our statesmen and the world. Those cliques thought they were act ing in the beft interests of their countries in breaking treaties which imposed disad vantageous conditions upon them. In the -case of the Versailles treaty, the Germans certainly had a case. By it, they were re duced to permanent inferiority. FRENCH MISTAKE France, through the league of nations, imposed every pos sible treaty guarantee to keep Germany inferior reparations, political and economic denials, even partial occupation for a time. She did more. She backed those treaties with what she thought was tthe greatest army In the world and the Magtnot line. She made a mistake In both Instances, but the second one was irredeemable. If she really had the best army in the world, she would not be where she is today. She was lured psycho logically into c position of in feriority by a reverence for the security of treaties with Russia, with Britain, et al. Her initial mistake was the belief that she could perm anently impose harsh condi tions on an enemy. She could have undercut the Hitler move ment in Germany before it started by a fairer and more just appeal to the German people than the Versailles treaty provided. In truth, she did mitigate the reparations terms later on with some of our money. But she never thought enough of her own debt-treaty with us to pay her war debt, thereby showing again even our friends do not keep treaties against their own interests. 1 Again, she could have stop ped Hitler when he made his first belligerent move,, by marching into the Rhineland. Her military superiority was even then sufficient to have crushed him. But she thought her treaties guaranteed her security . and she did not want to fight. Her treaties engendered pacifism among her statesmen and people, and kept them as easy marks for Hitler's tricks. ' . SCRAPS OF PAPER . Is not the path of history strewn back for 6000 years with scraps of paper, torn up by every nation which thought it to its best interest to disre gard or violate treaties? . Can anyone, then, now say that treaty-breaking is a racial or a national problem? Is it not an Instinct of human nature, the primary Instinct, for self-security, self preservation, self wel fare? I think this fresh history of our own generation shows we could not safely put our trust either in the good treaty or disarmament with Japan or in the bad Versailles treaty. Nei ther did the job, WHO WILL RUN IT? "International police force?" Some readers ask. Who Is going to run it? The United States, Britain and Russia? I rather . suspect the British Empire is thing of the past, which would mean that the In ternational police force would be led mainly by the United States and Russia.- How long would that last amicably? There would certainly be plenty of looking over back fences In that deal, and perhaps some burrowing under. Any realistic consideration of that prospect, must lead you straight to the same point of our experience with Japan and Germany. To be really secure and to be certain of maintain- SIDE GLANCES tow. WIBW srevict. KT naitll l "The office called and said not to worry about a thing during vour vocation your substitute just swung that big deal you've been working on for tltree years 1' ing peace at home, we will first need a domestic police force of the biggest army, the strongest navy and the best air force, in the world. LEAGUE OF NATIONS? An association of nations? others ask. That is of secondary Importance if you keep the U. S. army, navy and air force strong and alert and see that no one gets a better one. If you choose, make a bigger league of nations, a greater world court, but don't trust it to keep your own peace any more than an international po lice force. Fortune said about one-third think this war would not have occurred if we had been members of the league of nations. I do not believe that. To accept that conclusion is to assume that our statesmen would have been- smarter than the British and , French,, that they would have stopped Mus solini when he went into Ethi- opia and destroyed the" last 'ves tiges of confidence in a league of which he had been a mem ber. ':. - Our memory tells us we were not smarter. Nor would we have done anything different about the Japs thumbing their nose at the league and moving into Manchuria. I don't think any internation al police force would have done any different either, because the people of this country and its leaders were of the same opinion as Britain and France and the league at that time namely that they did not want to fight. They had been lulled Into a fake sense of security through treaties. You may differ with my de ductions, but you cannot forget tne recent history of all treaties when you form your next peace. You cannot let -Interna tional propaganda or your own good Christian hopes blind you to this record which is stained with American blood. ' The fabric of our future world policy, wherever It is to be, must be woven from the thread of these events upon the loom of realism. I hope it is backed by the best possible army, navy and air force.

TRAIN FARM LAJSOIt MERRILL, Ore., (To the Ed itor) Maybo it's time to say to the chamber ot commerce of Klamuth Falls or any othor town, soon again we will have a short age of labor in our fields. ' So let's take losson from Nanipa and Boise, but let's try to make a better success of it than they did. C. ot C. of Nam pa and Boise released tlielr of fice and store employes to help farmers for half a day. Some 1SO0 of them surely tluit Is quite a few people to help If Utcy only had had at- least an experience of some kind in farm these men and women, or the greatest part of them, hud never been in the country except for picnics. Women unit girls with long painted fingor nalls, white shoes and nicely pressed slacks went out to thin or block beets. Men and boys who had never seen a hoe, with suits on, to do tho sumo kind of work. People who couldn't tell a beet plant from grass were sunt out to work from 9 a. m. to 12 in rain. Let's not make this mistake. Let's get acquainted beforehand If we must have such help. Growers of Boise and Numpa were slow in getting help and when help came it was poor help. . Don't you city folks say 1 don't know what I am talking about, but learn to look upon a farmer as your best friend. If we should take a notion to strike as you do you would sturvo, for wo farmers uru tho back bone of countries. If you don't believe it try to get along with out any food for a week. So please, chamber of com merce or any other organization, if you start giving us help start In training as you would for the army, or even better than for the army, for the food that comes from- the farmers Is what we live on. I hope you will all give this a thought . and prepare yourself for. the worst as in burope. . ; MRS. ANNA B ALLEY.
