One Var
Abate This Menace
CONTINUOUS flood conditions in the Alfroms district
have become, with full justification, a matter of
serious nublic concern.
Health and sanitation
phase of the problem, have
attention of health authorities by the Kiamatn county
chamber of commerce.
The flood is a menace to
here. When it first occurred,
a considerable time, at great inconvenience to the public.
In the last year, the stretch of road that was built in
the flood emergency was threatened,, and it will be in
danger again in high water periods so long as the flood
continues. Blocking of this important highway has serious
military as well as civil aspects.
The flood is likewise a menace to an important local
industry, the Algoma Lumber company for a break in
the south dike there would flood the company's yards.
It is hardly necessary to argue that the flood has
caused a most undesirable condition, and that good sense
calls for its immediate elimination. The fact that the
flood has caused a great deal of litigation in circuit court
and that the question of liability for it has not been set
tled legally does not, it seems to us, justify permitting
this condition to continue indefinitely while the court
processes grind slowly and may drag on for years.
It is to the public interest that a reasonable plan,
wholly separate from the litigation and not affecting it
in any way, should be devised for eliminating and abating
this nuisance. It is our understanding that the county
court has indicated its willingness to use its good offices
in working out the problem, without; however,': involving
the use of county money. Because of the public interest
involved, such action by the county court should be jus
tified. z
It has become a reflection on this community that the
situation has been allowed to continue. Right now is the
time for getting together on a plan to do something
about it
Evacuee Labor Question
THE semi-official outline - of plans ;f or possible use of
evacuee labor from war relocation authority colonies
in harvesting autumn crops, which appeared in this paper
yesterday, did not indicate what micht be H
thing, about getting such help
evacuees going to and from the Tulelake Japanese settle
ment daily.
It would seem that inasmuch as the colony is located
in the middle of an area where there is a huge autumn
crop, some arrangement of that kind would be in. order.
It would probably be better if the Klamath basin autumn
harvest could be carried on without the use of evacuees,
but in case of a serious emergency, their availability
should be assured.
It is apparently definitely decided -that evacuees can
not be used anywhere in California for work off the pro
ject. But the regulations do permit their use in that part
of the Klamath basin within Oregon and east of highway
No. 97. The unanswered question is whether they could
travel back and forth daily from the project, eliminating
the necessity of providing them with living quarters on
the farms on which they work. Reason, we believe, would
require an affirmative answer to that question.
Medford city councilmen have taken action designed
to do something about family rows. Hope springs eternal.

He can either
PautNalloo do this, (and
confront us with a much more
formidlble array of power there),
or try to break through the
Caucasus, overrun the Near East,
and attempt to crush allied re
si star.ee in that whole part of
the world, including Egypt.
A- winter change of fronts,
however, seems a plausible and
logical expectation, in view of
two developments, the prospec
tive weakness of Russia, and
Hitler's need to defend his Ger
man cities from the terrific air
bombing they have been get
ting, and will receive, in in
creasing winter force.
Indeed, if Russian resistance
is sufficiently weakened, he
could maintain both fronts at
once, because he could then
spare the bulk of his air power
from the Near East attack,
where long allied lines of sup
plies prevent concentration of a
major force.
In this connection, suddenly
the other night Goebbel's Berlin
radio started blaring the news
around the world that we are to
open a second front through.
Dakar and northern Africa.
This was no doubt a feeler to
find but what would be done;
but it sounded also as if such a
step might upset or hinder the
plans Hitler is supposed to have
for - a' winter concentration
against Britain. In any event,
no one here is telling him any
thing. RUSSIAN WEAKNESS
The winter . prospects, of
course, hinge on the weakness
ot Russia, and the situation on
that subject is easy' to see.
The reds have had. time to erect
some earthwork and concrete
protection., in depth .around
Stalingrad, but the' ground is
not well suited to defense. It is
level in general, and nowhere
near as formidable a natural
barrier to the nazi, advance as
was presented at Leningrad and
Moscow.
Industries have been' moved
out of the city, up toward Sara.
tov and Kuibishev, and even
deeper into the Urals, but the
facts of Russia's desperate trans
portation, manufacturing and
food situation must be faced,
Three fourths of her war-time
traffic facilities v will go when
the Volga is cut, so greatly has
She relied on the boats of that
great river. Even- in peace,
half of all her traffic moved on
that stream. .. To add :to her
transportation difficulties, . one-
third of her railroads are al
ready gone.
Most of her richest fields are
now in nazi hands, and a food
shortage is in prospect this win
ter. : Four-fifths of her normal
oil supply will be . lost to her
when the Germans cut the Cau.
casus routes of trade, through
the Black and Caspian seas.
Only one tenth of her oil lies
safe behind the Urals. - '
She can still keep Germany
away from most of this oil if she
can hold the east-west line of the
Caucasus mountains, but the
nazis made a clever early .effort
to cut through the center of
that line.
CAUCASyS LINE
On their way southeast to
Grozny, they slipped a line of
troops off into a good road ud
ah. fcJDrus, highest mountain in
Europe, and took it, threatening
to break through the mountains
and cut off. Russian troops fight
ing west of that point.
The main fight for the rich
Baku oil prize, however,' is ex
pected to come after Grozny, on
the narrow (and bad) roads over
the foothills, southward from
that point to Baku.
This Caucasus line is more
important than Stalingrad'.
It Russian defense can be
strongly maintained there, .the
near east is relatively safe. If
the Germans break down Timo
shenko's resistance on that
front, they can roll . right on
through the Near East, endan
gering Egypt and all allied re
sistance in that quarter of the
world,, cutting completely our
southern' access to Russia, .
AH these facts together, at
this date, while the battle stiU
rages, mean Russia is weaken

the winter. It means we must

INVASION IS CERTAIN
There will be a second front,
make no mistake about that.
Pay no attention to the nonsense
being spread around this coun
try by some of the experts. For
instance, one is broadcasting
that Dieppe proved a second
front was impossible, because
dozens of. different umbrellas,
composed, of a thousand planes
each, would have to be placed
over each invasion point end
not that many planes are avail
able. ..-
All we need for invasion is
superiority , in the ".air at .the
points of invasion. If the Ger
mans have 1000 planes we
should have 1200, but if they
hive only 100 we need no more
than 123.
Invasion is not only possible,
but certain, even if it becomes a
tougher problem.
