We Can Help the Heroes
THIS ii American Heroes Dy, dedicated to the honor of
the men who carry on heroically on our fighting
fronts. j
There are to be no eeremonlea here. A lot of words
may not be said or written in honor of our heroes on this
day, for it is a day for action, not words.
It is a day for the purchase of war saving bonds
which will furnish America's fighting heroes with the
sinews of war. If you ask one of these lads which he
would rather have, a wordy tribute or a superior piece
of equipment, you know what his answer will be.
In Klamath county, we have a huge war savings bond
quota to reach in July. Indications at present are that
we will not make it, unless there is a general increase in
the rate of bond buying. It is hoped that Heroes' Day
observance will stimulate bond buying here, and help
Klamath to reach its quota.
' We can't all be heroes. But each can be a help to
a hero in this situation, and that ought to bring a good
deal of personal satisfaction.
How Do You Like Yourself ?
WANT to know what an American is liket
The British view, right or wrong, is contained in
a statement to RAF cadets headed to New York for
training. The statement; made by the British air min
istry, eays these things, among others, about a typical
American:
"He likes to ramble and fight
; "He is curious, generous, violent, talkative, and un
reserved. , "He stalks the dollar with the ferocity his ancestors
used in gathering redskin scalps. .
r "He leaves culture along with child-bearing to his
women." '
Whether or not we agree specifically with all of these
points, we must admit the British have something when
they say that the "American is so many things it is some
times hard to understand him."
Natural surroundings may have something to do with
ft . The air ministry reminded the BAF cadets that an
American "lives in a vast and fabulous country where the
northeast is like the British isles, the deep southeast like
the tropics, the middle west an empire richer than Ger
many and the Ukraine put together, Texas very similar
to southern Brazil and Uruguay, California and. Southern
Oregon like parts of Australia . . ."
Faith in Klamath
OUTSIDE money has been invested in a new piece of
Klamath Falls business property the Safeway store
property on Eighth street it is revealed in county clerk's
records. The property has also been leased back to the
Safeway people.
The implications in this transaction, for Klamath peo
ple, are definitely indicative of faith in the future of this
community by people with "smart money." The Safeway
lease, given to the new owners, is for 40 years.
U. S. Air Force Claims
World's Safety Record
WASHINGTON, July 17 VP)
The war department reported
today that the army air forces
have the best safety record of
all the world's military air or
ganizations, with an accident
rata 68 per cent below the
army's rate for 1930 and 10 per
cent below tha 1930-40 army
average.
Records show, the department
said, that better than 80 per
cent of the air force accidents
are caused by personnel failure,
and especial attention Is being
paid to takeoffs and landings in
an Intensive campaign to lower
the accident rate as the bulk of
the accidents involved them. .
Secretary of War Stlmson al
so made the following announce
ments: A battalion of Norwegian sol
diers, including citizens of Nor
way living in this country and
Americans who speak Norwe
gian, will be organized at an un
set date at Camp Ripley, Minn.,
to serve with the army's ground
forces. The secretary noted that
the battalion of Norwegian na
tiona would "demonstrate to the
Norwegian people all over the
world the determination of the
United States to restore their
government to its rightful sover
eignty."

tain five grams of crystalline

The army needs nearly 30.000
additional doctors by the end of
this year .and is setting up nine

Always 20e
Plus Tax
By RtULflALLON .
WASHINGTON, July 18 One
day last week the farm
lobbyists trooped unobserved in
to a closed session of a senate
appropriations sub-committee. In
line they came, representatives
of the American farm bureau
federation, tha grange, the U. S.
live stock group. The news
papers did not find out about
it.
' Next day a peculiar amend
ment loaded with poison ; ar
rows for Leon Henderson, ap
peared strangely in the annual
appropriation bill for the office
of price administration which the
sub-committee had been hand
ling. This amendement said Mr.
Henderson shall not fix the price
ceiling on farm products or
even processed goods, like cotton
shirts and leather shoes which
does not reflect 110 per cent of
parity back to the farmers.
Everyone said it was merely
a restatement of existing law,
but no one bothered to explain
why the farm lobbyists felt it
necessary to restate such a law
in an appropriation bill deal
ing with other matters. To the
initiated in this peculiar poli
tical farm business, however, it
was evident that the farm lob
byists had set out to break up
Mr. Henderson's price policy.
a
NET RESULT
The amendment would cause
Henderson to abandon his pres
ent program, re-open thousands
of price items in the farm and
process schedules, and this time
follow Agriculture Secretary
Wickard's direction to fix much
higher prices than now allowed
prices which would give the
farmer that 110 per cent parity
index.
The farm lobbyists and their
congressional bloc felt justified
In playing this and other little
tricks on Mr. Henderson, be
cause he has not followed the
law they wrote for him in the
first place. They feel tricked
Some months ago they suc
ceeded in enacting provisions
which they thought would give
Agriculture , Secretary Wickard
veto power over Henderson and
would assure the farmer his 110
per cent. Mr. Roosevelt stop-
pea that by ominously informing
the world In general (but par
ticularly Mr. Wickard) tliat Mr.
Wickard worked for him and
would be expected to follow his
wishes.
Henderson never consulted
Wickard on anything except
wool at the outset and later on
fruits and vegetables.
Lately, Mr. Wickard has re
joined hands with farm lobby
ists and is supposed to be work
ing on Mr. Roosevelt to get an
approval of the pending separate
bill granting 100 per cent loans
to farms. Mr. Roosevelt's bud
get director has approved this,
although some authorities sus
pect that such a permanent step
would put all private trading
out of business.
a a
HENDERSON'S MAD
On the other hand and In the
other corner, Mr. Henderspn is
mad as a hornet. He is particul
arly angry at Wickard for hav
ing written him the recent let
ter forcing him to boost the
prices on dried and canned
fruits, which he had set to re
flect less than 110 per cent par
ity. He held an off-the-record

"You'd better watch your boy friend when we start piny,
ing postoillce she's the home wrecker type l,f
press conference to vent his
anger. Some of the words he
used were hotter than the Amer
ican airmen customarily employ
when they go into a dive on a
Jap ship.
All this back and forth news
devolves down into the issue of
whether the administration's
price program will be allowed
to stand. There is some justice
In the arguments on both sides.
The farmers' goal for years
has been 100 per cent parity,
and now that the war has
brought it in sight, the farm
bloc seems greedy in seeking
the 1 V per cent. Yet the aver
age lm income is much less
than the nation's average.
Farm labor costs are particular
ly doubled and a shortage exists.
Futhermore, the administra
tion has let labor break tborugh
its economic ceiling in some few
lines and Is supposed to be
about , to increase the whole
labor scale In the "Little Steel"
test case.
But as far as justice to all the
people is concerned, it is obvious
that a breakdown of the Hend
erson effort at this early date
would hoist the nation into a
dangerous inflationary realm.
Prices would be forced up ab
normally by either farm or
labor concessions and start a
destruction of values, the end
of which no one can perceive.
Only one decision is possible
for Mr. Roosevelt if he wants
to protect the interests of all.
He must stop both the farm and
labor blocs.
