Ideas on Rubber
TODAY, we pass along two comments on the rubber
drive which reached this desk from readers of this
newspaper.
Mrs. S. J. Jones, a resident of the Weyerhaeuser mill
district and mother of two boys In the service, told us
that the sight of rubber mats in business house entrances
on Main street excited her to great anger.
"My boys, and others in the service, are crying for
help," she asserted. "This is war, whether these firms
realize it or not. I feel they should turn in this rubber.
These mats are not really necessary. I have hunted my
premises from end to end, and have turned in rubber that
is far more necessary to me than are these mats to those
who are retaining them."
The other suggestion comes from Joe Reading, phar
macist He believes there are actually tons of rubber nailed
on the wharves and private boat landings at the various
lakes in the Klamath country. Some people, he said,
have used many more old tires than is necessary for boat
buffers. They could give most of these tires and still
protect the boats."
Joe has something there. We saw a tire pulled out
of Diamond lake recently, and the same thought oc
curred to us.
The time for getting this rubber into the- war collec
tion is growing short. If anything is to be done about it,
It should be done immediately.
British Propaganda
BRITISH propaganda officials 'use good judgment in
their decision not to send more lecturers to the United
States and to cease attempts to "force Britain down the
throats of the American people."
Americans react unfavorably to the kind of propa
ganda thus described by Brendan Bracken, minister of
information, in a speech to the house of commons.
We know Americans who turn purple with rage when
they hear a Britisher talk in the unmistakable British
manner. Perhaps that is one reason why Mr. Bracken
reported that British lecturers, sent to the United States,
did more harm than good.
High-powered British propaganda is not necessary in
the United States. Most Americans are convinced that
the destiny of this nation in the war is linked with that
of Britain. The best propaganda the British can possibly
spread in America is proof they are upholding their end
of the war effort. That proof will reach Americans
through the regular news channels.
Century of Disgust
IF you are disgusted with congress, the chances are
you feel the way your father, grandfather and great
grandfather felt in their day.
Take, for instance, the following editorial excerpt
from the Philadelphia Public Ledger of March 25, 1836:
- "The congressional news up to this date possesses not the
slightest interest. Congress seems determined to fritter away
its time, Instead of rendering it profitable to the nation
shame on such tardy legislation."
This paragraph was selected from a copy of the Led
ger of that date which belongs to W. F. Jinette, Merrill
farmer.
But let us not be too discouraged to learn that people
bitterly criticized congress 100 years ago and are still
doing it. It must have occasionally redeemed and justi
fied itself in the century, or it would surely have been
abolished as an institution. Those who today look upon
congress with disgust still have reason to hope for better
things from it. They can help bring those better things
about by their own actions m

WASHINGTON. July 8 The
main point behind fighting
In Egypt is that both the British
and axis are having difficulties
in maintaining lines of supplies.
Just before the final stage of
Rommel's successful drive, Ital
ians waylaid a British convoy
on its way from Gibraltar to
Alexandria. It was cut up so
severely, it was never able to
reach General Auchinleck, but
was stopped at Malta where the
supplies were needed much less
than in Egypt.
Since the Mediterranean has
become virtually a no man's sea,
so far as the British are con
cerned, General Auchtnleck's re
cently advanced reinforcements
naturally hid to come from other
directions, nearby Syria, our
own air base in Eritrea, and even
India.
The German line is ten times
shorter, but the British have su
periority in the air. Their bomb
ers, you may have noticed, have
been hitting Bengazi day and
night since their trouble started
Thus, the fighting on both
sides has been hindered to a sub
stantial extent by the Invisible
factors behind the lines. The
Germans, however, still hold
substantial advantage in this
critical aspect of the campaign,
because the British have been
pushed back from their advance
air bases.
Hope, but not optimism,
consequently being generally
felt here.
FOOTBALL TACTICS
Emphatic interpretations of
the news from the Russian front
have never been possible. The
nazis and the reds are engaged
there in tactics comparable to
American football.
The latest nazi hammering of
the line between Kursk and
Kharkov, several hundred miles
north of where the real play
was expected, has had many puz
zling aspects, but seems subject
to only one interpretation, ine
nazis apparently have been ham
mering the tackle and guard po
sitions there in preparation for
a run around the end where the
play was expected in the first
place.
The line north of Kharkov was
not as strongly defended by the
reds as their position around,
Rostov. The Germans therefore
were able to hit it hard enough
to break through and in fact.
cause some withdrawal of troops
from the southern front. Also
these tactics served to protect
them in the future from any
northern flanking move, if they
go forward with the Rostov
drive, as expected.
Consequently, both this unex
pected northern break through,
and the expected capture of
Sevastopol, apparently were only
nazi preparations for a , bigger
drive to come in between these
two points. At least that is the
only interpretation which
squares with the known facts.
Future events will tell.
CAREFUL REDS
The Russians lately have per
mitted our army observers to
get up a little closer to the front
lines than formerly, but mostly
in quiet sectors. No special mili
tary missions have been allowed
to come in. Only our men on
the ground have been allowed
to go forward.
The Russians believe In run
ning the war their own way.
No Moscow Interest in opening
up a Siberian front has been re
ported here.
The house tax-makers already
have changed their minds about
one thing Joint taxation of hus
band and wife. The committee
snipped that treasury provision
out of the tax bill after first
adopting it, supposedly due to
the ardent workings of Speaker
Rayburn who halls from Texas,
a community property state.
There has also been some talk
in committee that the White
House intervened, but this has
in no wise been substantiated.
NORRIB MAY RUN
The grand old liberal of the
senate, George Norris of Ne
braska, decided several months
ago he would not run for re
election, but he has since been
told by President Roosevelt that
it is "just as honorable for him
to die in the senate as on the
battlefield."
Not only from this but from
other evidence, the politico! as
sume Norris will probably an
nounce as an independent after
the August 11 primary. He did
that before.
This time the president's en
treaty might be strengthened by
the fact that the favorite In the
democratic primary race is Rep
resentative Harry Coffee who has
not been strictly a new dealer.
