Collection of Rubber
i. yjOST people we know have a yen to collect something
IVl for defense. 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.

By &ULMALLON
YJ7ASHINGTON, June 9
Some readers are coming
back at me already for my
column of yesterday reminding
them our love for defenseless
peace, as expressed in our gen
erous disarmament treaty of
1922, enabled Japan to sneak
build her navy up to ours, and
that the Versailles treaty man
dates of Pacific Islands award
ed to Japan enabled them to
sneak-fortify the air bases and
sea bases which made their
conquest of the Far East pos
sible by forming a protective
outer rim for her operations.
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.
