Ho ud BUtUoa OoasUai Nt a:iia Weekend Roundup THERE is a need;for more show of faith in our fighting iforces. - W do" not say a need of more faith, for we befteve that -exist. But there is too much superficial cyftjcisif, too much; easy talk about possible defeat, at a moment-, when our side has taken the offensive in an important sector. ? The men who fend on the beaches of Pacific isles and advance in the fae of heavy fire deserve the spiritual backing of the 130,000,000. or so of the rest of us who watch their bravery from safe distances. They need to know that we believe in them, that we believe they have the, stuff that. wilV bring victory. .Many of these3ads have played on the athletic teams of Wr American-schools. They know what it means, in gaiSes asfay front; home, to know that the folks back home are pulling for them.' Let's pull for them now! k . iThe question of saving all possible waste wood for fuel, brought up iy the CIO and clarified by Klamath fuel dealers, is of vital interest to all of us as we look for ward to a winter of possible that a determined effort is being made to salvage all material that can be economically used for fuel purposes. fjjrluch has been done in recent months to convince nedDle'here atad throughout the northwest that they should prepare, daring the fuel supply, .liocafcfuel dealers, the governor, ana ieaerai officials have wariied of a possible shortage.

News Behi thew By &ulHallom WASHINGTOX, Aug. 15Th primaries Tuesday, and de velopments since, show how some few folks in the magazines, the government and newspapers are still trying noisily to make this war an exclusive social af fair for their political friends only. STP" They don t want anyone in it, fighting or working for our side, except those whose pol itical views they approve. They don't want Lind bergh. They would bar cer tain congress- Paul Mallon men who did not vote before the war for their social views. They constantly rail and ag itate against congressmen, pub lic figures, and against a few newspapers which held similar non-interventionist or isolation ist (whichever you will) views before the conflict. All this and more of the same they have continued twenty-four hours a day for some months now in the name of unity. This agitation is preventing unity. It is further preventing the generation of a fighting spirit in the people which is necessary to wirr the war. War is a fight to the death, individually and nationally. The first instinct for conflict requires that you use every weapon, every energy and every person at your command, or anyone you can get on your side, to help you win. In a fight against odds, you do not turn around to see if everyone fighting with you is socially or politically desirable to you not if you want to win On that commonsense principle, we swallowed the communists as allies without gulping. Why should some of us be straining so hard at a few of our own isolationists? The facts suggest the left wing political groups of the United States want to win the war, but they also want to eliminate the right wing and all opposition in the process. Anyone who wants to fight or work or rail on our side should be allowed to do so if he satisfies the only important requirement loyalty. I do not raise any question regarding the loyalty of the leftists or rightists, but I do question the wisdom of trying to win a war this way. Our only political test now should be one of loyalty applied fairly and honestly to conser vatives, liberals or political hot ten tots. If this playing of politics, this crying of "fascist," this dealing with social oppositions under the guise of patriotism, does not cease, we shall lose this war. In the face of this internal dis sension we shall never be able to muster the popular unified fighting spirit required for vic tory. To scourge social or political opponents in wartime with a reign of publicity terrorism, or by bitter election campaigns, is purely negative. If the Johnnie-come-lately patriots, who are trying it, would devote the same amount of thought and energy to some affirmative action to help win the war, to sell bonds, or to Always 20c plui tax ENDS TONIGHT The Great McGinry and Below tHe Border COMING SUNDAY 1st Hit LCH THESE HOT-i mm ru aniuniu 1 ufimtn-uunuiin 2nd Hit BOB BURNS in "COMING 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN" p 1 - SIDE GLANCES iiw m ill UN.

As it is, they are only widen ing and deepening the gulf that lay between our peoples, which was the greatest defect and weak ness of this country before the war. a a SECOND FRONT Mrs. Roosevelt's impatience with lady criers for a second front at the Hunter college forum, accurately expressed the Washington viewpoint toward that pressure which is rising up higher on all sides. It was not so intended, but it may be considered a response indirectly to a high soviet of ficial who presented a lugubrious view of the red military pre dicament at a private luncheon here. The soviet official pointed out it would be much better for the British and Americans to face the 20 to 30 nazi divisions now in occupied territories than to meet the 300 divisions which will be ready to meet us if Rus sia falls. This red authority said in vasion by Norway and Italy would not suffice. If we struck at either of those strategically desirable points, we would not relieve the pressure on the Rus sian front. Only a bold thrust into France would do. His points are all more or less true, but do not go deep enough into the facts. Just keep in mind during all this second front argument that it requires 15 gross tons of ship ping to send a single soldier to the second front, and two tons of shipping a month to sustain him.
