Delivered by Carrier la CKy Let the Purpose Be Fulfilled THERE is growing evidence of public concern and dis satisfaction over freedom which is allegedly allowed the people of Japanese descent at the Newell settlement. ,This was indicated at a recent hearing on duck shooting restrictions held at Tulelake, in resolutions which have been passed by a number of organizations including the 40 et 8, and in comment which has appeared in the Sis kiyou county press. There are reports that Japanese from the settlement roam outside its confines, a condition that has . aroused concern on the part of the white population in the valley. W. I. Humphreys, writing in the Dunsmuir News, charges that a truckload of Japanese went to Medicine lake with out guards for the purpose of gathering rocks to beau tify the settlement. A Klamath Falls man, concerned about the situation, has written to all members of Ore gon's congressional delegation about it. The American Legion, in national convention at Kan sas City recently, adopted a resolution opposing any spe dal privileges for Japanese in the WRA colonies, urging that they be denied the privilege of leaving the settle ment under any pretext during the duration of the war, and that control of the colonies be placed in the hands fit military authorities. This newspaper is well aware of the difficult problem confronted by the government in handling the Japanese evacuation. It realizes that this is an unprecedented situation and that all of the policies adopted must be new ones and cannot be based on previous experience. It has urged community cooperation with the war relo cation authorities in every reasonable way, and it has cautioned against jumping at conclusions concerning the settlement which may not be based on full information. But it is patent that the purpose of the evacuation was to remove all of the people of Japanese descent from places where any one of .them could do any damage. That purpose requires confinement of these people to closely limited and well guarded areas. If that is not done, why evacuate "them at all? It has cost' a lot of money, and that is the only value to be received from the enterprise. Inasmuch as the public in the vicinity of the colony ' at Newell is showing evidences of serious concern, a state ment is in order from the federal authorities as to the specific policies followed with regard to freedom granted the colonists. If those policies do not show sufficient pre caution against all danger of damaging acts by the evac uees, they should be corrected. Farm Benefit Payments May Be Used to Spur Output WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 W Farm benefit payments, used In th past largely to discourage excess crop production, may be employed next year to obtain the largest possible food output lor war needs. A new production-inducement role is cast for the payments in plans being made by the agricul ture department lor its 1943 "Food-for-Freedom" program. It is not known yet how much will' be available for such pay ments, since the money must be appropriated by congress. Offi elals said the amount might ex ceed $600,000,000, including soil conservation and parity pay ments. In some past years pay ments have totaled more than 1750,000,000. Heretofore, most of the pay ments were made for cooperat ing with production control pro grams aaecung cotton, corn, wheat, tobacco, rice and peanuts. A grower received maximum payments if he planted within acreages alloted him and carried out recommended soil conserv ing practices. .: Under proposed new plans, payments would be made on the same crops, but farmers would be required to meet production goals for their products as well. The subsidies would be tied to production programs which would be worked out for each individual farm. These programs would include allotments for the basic crops normally grown on PIGS HEAR, FEAR ST. JOSEPH, Mo.

THE ... t&kzz-... News B By- jTkULlLLON . YASHINGTON, Oct. 14 Hot- have been buying government bonds in public, then sneaking to the postoffices and banks to re deem them for cash. The number of these chame leon heroes is- growing, not much, but too much. The last treasury figures show $25,000, 000 of war bonds were redeemed in July, $32,000,000 in August, and $34,000,000 in September, for a total of $91,000,000 re deemed of all bonds sold since Ma. How many stamp chlselers have tip-toed in for redemption, nobody knows. The amount in volved in dollars cannot be large, yet it seems almost Incred ible that any American, at a time like this, would cash in either his bond or his stamp, unless he faced a personal crisis Just as serious as the national crisis which caused him to invest in victory. Not much is said publicly about these people. From the purely financial standpoint, the treasury is not alarmed, inas much astlie September redemp tions amounted to only .027 per cent of the bonds sold that month. But everyone knows it costs the treasury money to sell bonds (administration, advertis ing, etc.,) and every bond or stamp redeemed must be sold over again at added expense. There are few more effective ways you can aid tha enemies of this country than by bravely pretending to buy what you do not propose to hold and defend. o o o NO FOOLING " The government Is not fooling now in its promise to provide tires for all, to keep this motor ized nation going on wheels. The promise of Mr. Jeffers can and will be fulfilled. The government already has practically doubled the recapped tire quotas for public disposition this month of October, from 425,000 to 925,000. As tires wear out, B, C and S card-holders will go before an inspector every 60 days (A card holders every four months) and from them may secure certifica tions with which to appeal to the rationing boards for reclaimed rubber tires. No one here sug gests the program will not work. Two months ago rubber was the hottest subject. Today, it is the coldest. The only thing that has hap pened in the meantime has been a straight - forward, common sense investigation of the prob lem and the appointment of an experienced (but not in rubber) businessman with an affirmative reputation to work out an af firmative reputation to work out an affirmative policy is all that anyone, including this column, ever asked. The only new part of the pro gram is the proposal to develop 20,000,000 victory tires from re- ROAD BACK DRAWN fFOR . OFFICE EtflNMli SIDE GLANCES I IIlII , f com 141 by ara stwet me. T. m. etc. o. "Yon can't fool me, Doc I'll bet this big order of gro ceries is just another one of your prescriptions for soma, hard luck family 1" claimed rubber, and even this proposal was being worked up in the government mill before Mr. Jeffers took over. j It might have been Instituted anyway. So what Mr. Jeffers has contributed actually is a change of government policy from repression to affirmative help. The old chant that the auto mobiles of the nation would be in the ditch, or everyone would have to walk by such and such a dale, has been replaced in a few weeks with a valid and workable solution.- The altera tion is a really great achieve ment of government, and an ex cellent example of what can be done, by selecting eovernment directors who saythey can do things, in place of those here who have favored a "can't chant" from the beginning. o SECRECY Some editors and readers have written . me asking about the lack of comment in this column on the censorship dispute of the press with the White House, and requesting my personal views. It seems to me the discussion went astray somehow. The de bated questions have ' bee n whether the president's life was really endangered, whether news of the trip should have been kept from the people so long, and such technical matters. The president should have the right of war-time censorship, if he thinks his safety is involved, whether or not anyone else be lieves it was. But he should take the responsibility of this censorship entirely from the press.- The way the White House handled the affair may leave sus picions in the minds of some peo ple that they are not getting all the news they are entitled to, through their press. In any OF WAR INFORMATION a ear. orr. to-Af similar future censorship, the government s h o u'l d go far enough in handling the matter to prevent any such suspicion from arising. So also with the president's criticism of "certain publishers, columnists and radio commenta tors" for breaking down public morale, his blanket castlgatlon tends to tear down public con fidence in general. If he had specified those whom he believed guilty, and wnat tney have said or done to provoke his charge, they would have been exposed and tried be fore the bar of public ODtnlon. A blanket cloud would then not remain over all. PTA Notes Fairhaven The Fairhaven PTA met Fr day, October 9, at 3 p. m.

Thursday in Mills school. Rivenida The goal of $1000, set by Riverside students in their 1042-43 war stamp and bond drive, seemad likely with , the sale on Tuesday of $34.65 worth of stamps. Each student is be ing urged to participate in the purchase of stamps and the sales thus far have been highly satisfactory . according to 'Prin cipal Verne Speirs. Riversiders are war conscious and taking an active part in the scrap metal drive. Scrap is be ing brought to the school grounds piece by piece. The PTA regrets the depart ure of Grace Rhoades, first grade teacher and secretary of the group, who left Tuesday for duty with the WAACs. A sewing kit was presented Miss Rhoades from the PTA.

I wish to stAte that It is tha most unfair, unjust and un-American editorial I have read for long time. You state that the Witnesses ASKED for the regrettable vlo lence that occurred In that Sun day's demonntratlon. I wish to ask you, Is Klamath Falls In the United States of America or Our. many? One expects these Inci dents against Christian people in Germany but not In Amitri We are still living under a de mocracy where we are supposed to nave rreedom of speech, press and worship. Just because you don't believe as I Aa I .till haven't a right to run you out of town or harm you or destroy your property. There la no Haiiaaa In nn mm. stitutlon which says that this xreeaom ot speech, press or wor ship applies to all but Jehovah's Witnesses. Therefore, whv dlrin't tha Witnesses have right to navo a peaceable assembly In Klamath Falls? It Is not only presumed that the federal authorities know about Johovah's Witnesses but they HAVE investigated the ac tivities of this Christian urann long ago and if we don't trust our officials capable of taking care of their business we cer tainly ara not saod A Inasmuch as we are asked by mesa authorities not to have vlgilnntelsm. How can von call Klsmnth Falls a patriotic American com munity! is there anything pa triotic about those who engage in moo violence which was pre meditated against a group of peaceable citlzons. All that Is destroying the very principles of our flag, and to turn around and salute it doesn't prove you are an American. One could go on about such hoodlums, but Klamath Falls may soon learn It is still In the United States of America. Christians have always been hated and that Is exactly what the Bible shows us. In Matthews 24:9 we read, "Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." So therefore, true Christians realize why persecu tion comes upon them. Those that are fighting the Witnesses are renlly fighting the Lord. In Matthew 25:45, we find the treatment Inflicted on his servants counts It as dona un to himself. MRS. VERVILLE JOHNSON. PENNY'S WORTH GRANTS PASS, Ore.
