Today's Roundup
Bf MALCOLM. EPLEY
IN THE Klamath Yesterday! department on
this page today Is an Interesting reference
to talk made to a local iervlce club exactly
10 years ago by
Lloyd B. Emery,
still a member of
the faculty of
Klamath Union
high school.
Mr. Emery spent
several years in
educational and
consular work in
Japan, and speak
ing from that ex
perience, he told
the Kiwanis club
10 years ago:
"The Japanese
re tremendously
ambitious. They
plan definitely to
be dominant in the
Orient. It is not
impossible they
hope and plan to
EMERY be the dominant
people of the world. They will beer watching
by every other nation."
Mr. Emery made this prophetic comment in
the early stages of the Manchurian incident,
which, he told the club, would be prosecuted by
the - Japanese to a successful conclusion no
matter how long it took.
Most of those who heard Mr. Emery's talk
probably forgot what he said, although they
knew years later that every word of it was
true.
Today's Danger
A HEN we came across that little item, we
W gave Lloyd Emery a ring today and
asked him for comment. With characteristic
modesty, he disclaimed any exceptional per
spicacity, but said that anyone in his position
could foresee what he foresaw.
. As to whether a mistake is being made in
United Nations policy regarding Germany as
the foe which must first be beaten, Mr. Emery
aid
"I wouldn't pretend to know If this is right.
The men who shape that policy have informa
tion that the rest of us do not have. But I do
feel that we must give strong heed to the
danger that, the Japanese will be able to
entrench themselves in a position from which
they can be ousted only by a terrific struggle.
We know they seek to dominate all that part
of the world bordering on the Pacific, if not
the whole world."
Japanese bitterness against Americans can
be laid to several factors, Mr. Emery remarked,
including the Japanese exclusion act, envy at
U. S. progress and prosperity, and resentment
against any Interference with Japanese plans
In the Orient.
Japs' Good Luck
MR. EMERY voiced a concern over Japanese
opportunity to consolidate their gains that
Is widely felt by observers of the Pacific
scene.
The Japs, before and since Pearl Harbor,
have benefited vastly by American high policy.
Before the war broke out between Japan
and the United States, the Japanese continued
to obtain from us the materials of war to use
against our friend, China, and later against
ourselves. Surely, no one can question that
there was wholly unjustified complacency to
ward Japan just before Pearl Harbor, giving
the Japs a tremendous advantage at the outset
of the war.
Now, after well over a year of actual war
between us, they benefit further by a policy
that regards Germany as the No. 1 enemy which
must be licked while we, so to speak, mark
time In the Pacific. That policy may be neces
sary, but that does not alter its favorable
effect upon the Japanese fortunes of war.
Feeling on Coast
AMERICANS living on the Pacific coast feel
strongly on this matter, and for under
standable reasons. Recently, we re-printed on
this page an editorial from a Washington news
paper which criticized Washington's fascination
with Europe and its Inclination to under-rate
the threat in the Pacific. That indicated, at
least, that the concern felt on the Pacific coast
is not wholly without good cause.
Another service club speaker we heard re
cently remarked that it Is safe to move evacuees
of Japanese descent from the Tule lake WRA
project to the Middle West, because the feeling
is not so strong there as "in the Klamath
valley."
That is no doubt true; but the thought oc
curred to us, as we heard the remark, that
the sooner the people In the Middle West
acquired some of that feeling, the sooner we
would begin to win the war in the Pacific. That
feeling is borne of a realization of the danger
ous significance of Japanese designs in the
Pacific area, and the bitter struggle our men
are making there against great odds. It may
be, and probably is, misdirected when applied
against evacuees, but it is reflective of a spirit
toward Japan that must spread over America
If we are to win this war.
Home Front Roundup
By JAMES MARLOW and GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, March 31 W) Why does
your butcher have so little meat if any
to sell today?
There isn't any single answer, agriculture de
partment officials will tell you, although prob
ably the immediate reason is that most people
did some pre-rationing buying . . . Getting in
more of a supply than usual, perhaps buying
a whole ham (where available) or other items
that'll keep.
These officials list half a dozen reasons back
of the whole problem of shortages:
Civilian Buying
HEAVY civilian buying: This has been one
major cause of rationing, agriculture de
partment men say.
It stems from three groups which want more
steaks and chops and roasts than in other
years the millions who were unemployed and
who now have jobs; those formerly in low
income brackets who have taken war jobs at
higher wages; men and particularly women
who have tackled hard manual work and
whose appetites can't be satisfied with salads
and weight-reducing diets.
Then, too, there are families in all classifica
tions who have been buying more meat they
can't buy automobiles, radios, vacuum cleaners
and a flock of other war-casualty goods, so they
decide to spend their money on better living,
have been indulging that taste for thick steaks,
lor instance.
a
Reserves Pile Up
SUPPLIES for the armed forces and lend
lease: These take one-fourth of the meat
supply, Secretary Wickard says.
Too, the armed forces and lend-lease both
are piling up reserves of foodstuffs. The army
quartermaster corps states its policies this way:
The army buys six months ahead. Its sup
plies aren't that far ahead, but the foodstuffs
come in all during those six months. Generally
speaking, the army keeps 80 days' supplies
on hand. For troops overseas, this means double
that amount a 60-day supply in the war
theater, plus 60 days' supplies at some coast
port ready for shipment.
Also, in calculating what is a 60-day supply.
the army makes allowances for possible loss
in the war theater, for the possibility that
enemy attack may destroy supply depots; in
preparing shipments, allowing for ship losses
to the extent of double the present rate of
loss from submarine, surface and air attack.
The navy's handling of food supplies is gen
erally the same as the army's.
Black Marker
BLACK market: Officials say there's no way
of arriving at any certain figure on the
amount of meat drawn off the regular markets
through illegal transactions, but a congressional
committee last month heard testimony that
black markets had become nearly as widespread
as sale of bootleg liquor In prohibition days.
OPA expresses belief that it has the black
markets on the run, now that rationing has
started.
Other reasons: Officials here concede that
meat price ceilings, as originally ordered,
brought maldistribution of available supplies.
In some areas, ceiling prices were higher than
elsewhere. Result: Distributors shipped their
meat to the areas with the higher prices.
OPA is attacking this problem through the
plan of uniform price ceilings. So far they've
been applied to pork, will be applied to other
meats later.
Hoarding of meat in frozen lockers has been
another factor but an insignificant one, of
ficials declare.

New Steel Alloy Pennies
Fool Unintiated Spenders
PORTLAND, March 31 OP)
Portlanders attempted today to
accustom themselves to the new
steel alloy pennies that look at
first like a dime and later like
a squeezed cent.
One bank was so delighted to
get the coins, slightly thinner
than the old pennies, that it
placed 9000 of them on a table
and put up a sign for patrons,
"Take One."
An Oregonian reporter found
out the silver color wore off
after 15 attempts to pass the coin
off as a dime. In the meanwhile,
six persons accepted it as a ten
cent piece.
One man wasn't fooled,
though. He said, "hey, this is a
Canadian penny."
Another protested, "wait a
minute. This isn't a dime. It's
a nickel."

BUILDING A FENCE
"FOR FIDO
Eugene Register-Guard
At least the Eugene city coun
cil cannot be accused of sitting
on the fence in the great season
al argument between dog own
ers and gardeners. It has decreed
"fences for Fido" throughout the
spring and summer, or, death for
Fido and fines for his owner.
This enactment should earn for
the city council the unqualified
gratitude of the gardeners. The
council is emphatically on the
side of the gardeners.
However, we have a "hunch
that "the good neighbor policy"
is still going to be quite as impor
tant as law in this situation be
cause
1. Fencing is very scarce; wire
fencing is not obtainable for such
purposes as dog-pens; wood fenc
ing is limited and rather costly.
S. The April 1 deadline for
putting Fido in the pen is very
close.
In many eases It Is going to be
necessary to keep Fido on a long
leash while rounding up fence
materials. Fido may frequently
chew his way to freedom. While
on leash he is almost certain to
express his sorrow vocally.
There may be those in the neigh
b o r h a a d who will question
whether the vegetables are
worth the price of Fido's mourn
ful soliloquies.
Somehow or other we have the
uncomfortable feeling that the
dog-garden controversy is not
ended by this decree. Perhaps
the best to be said for the new
ordinance is that it supplies a
basis for the immediate rounding
up and disposal of canine strays
and vagabonds. The disposal of
pets may prove a much more dif
ficult problem, one requiring
mucn tact and wisdom.
There are those, of course,
who would exterminate all forms
of dog life. They will want to
hunt down and wipe out every
form of dog life with the fury of
the Roman against the early
(jnristians. There is still need for
considerable neighborly kindness
toward both Fido and his own
ers. Before Fido is turned over to
the head-hunters these questions
are in order:
Has Fido's owner been notified
that he is on the loose?
Has Fido's owner made any
preparations to keep him in
check or to prepare a fence?
Is Fido a genuine nuisance and
is his owner really negligent?
Dog owners are facing manv
problems these days, because,
among other difficulties OPA
has failed to provide any meal
tickets for Fido. Many who love
dogs are already trying to place
them In country homes. This
world of total war is not "kind
to animals."
The majesty of the law has
moved against Fido In Eugene.
but In each neighborhood there
is still need for kindness. Maybe
we can grow gardens and win
the war without trampling too
much on children (for it is kids
who are responsible for much of
tne "pet nuisance)."

blackout which hns lasted slnco
early November, the lodge hero
now has electric lights again.
Tho blackout was not occasioned
by four of Japanese bombing,
but rather duo to the hydro-clou

from Trapper creek to the plant
freezes In the fluino mid conse
