Planting Starts Soon

tions 'will-not get into full swing until May 1.
Boll conditions - are still pretty much on the
moist-side, and in some fields the wet has pre
vented plowing.-
j The, .potato, acreage increase has come about
through, a partial solution of the fertilizer prob
lem and opening of Tule lake leased ' lands to
potato production under prescribed conditions.
Add to tliese factors the determination of Klam
ath farmers to produce ail they can in this war
year,-and you have the background of a big
Tpud-. production for 1943 . which, if all condi
iions'.are right, will set a record in volume. .
! In 1937, a potato acreage of 21,500 acres set
he previous 'all-time record for planting. This

W- ASHINGTON, April 18 Some highly,
placed men in the state department have
3tprassed; to' senators their personal disapproval
or air. itoosevelt's wish to bar
congressmen and limit the
press at the international food
. and refugee conferences.
They say they would have
opened' up both meetings, but
Mr. Roosevelt personally made,
the decision against that
course. .

conferences might as well have never been
held. If the developments of the conferences
were fully reported in the daily press, the pub
lic mind might be prepared to accept the de
cisions favorably.
Furthermore, both conferences will no doubt
require congressional legislation and appropria
tions to fulfill their recommendations. But, with
no congressman present at either gathering, en
thusiastic congressional championship of the
plans to be adopted is hardly to be expected.
No doubt the president has in mind the
theory that if the press reports daily squabbles
in the meetings, and the congressmen know
about these, they can be used by some in
dividual groups to promote political opposition
to the majority decisions of the meetings. Obvi
ously, he does not want the press or congress
to influence the decisions of the meetings by
comments while they are going on. '
But the way he did it, he promoted probably
more opposition than would otherwise have
been forthcoming as both gatherings are tech
nical and likely to be of little sustained news
value.
'
Aircraft Pry
GENERAL M' ARTHUR'S solemn public
warning about the danger of his air situa
tion in the South Pacific was obviously designed
to pry more fighting aircraft out of reluctant
Washington. But it has also bestirred a general
over-all decision of war strategy.
The debaters are discussing technicalities such
as the number of troops, planes and ships here
and there while neglecting to stress the primary
defect of our positions both in the South Pacific
and in Europe.
Look at the map of MacArthur's position. He
has struggled successfully for months to gain I
a foothold on New Guinea, mainly to protect
Australia.
Our navy, marine and army forces . have
fought desperately also to maintain their vital
defensive positions on little Guadalcanal. But
all north of these two small points, for thou
sands of miles, the Japs hold thousands of
jungled islands practically unmolested.
If MacArthur got enough planes to win back
half of these, or even Java and the Philippines,
no I one suggests that the war would be over.
The seat of Japanese power, which is the Jap
anese mainland, would still be unbroken.
The Japanese aggressors, like the nazis, have
been able to. fight their war on frohts far from
the real roots of their war power. If we capture
Tunisia and even Italy in the European theater,
the heart of nazi fighting strength the war
heart from which troops,-planes and manufac
tured munitions flow would still be beyond
our reach.
' Both Tokyo and Berlin are waging buffer
wars. They have made us concentrate our ef
forts defensively on territories (Africa, New
Guinea, etc.) which are of little consequence to
them. Our victories In New Guinea and Tunisia,
therefore, are largely local in character and
in no way decisive.
Direct Methods
THESE truths suggest the desirable over-all
strategy for us, both in the Pacific and in
Europe, is to plan more toward striking at the
heart of enemy war power, not at the outward
reaching fingers.
A direct invasion of Germany through Hol
land and Denmark has been talked of in a
minor way, but there has not even been any
discussion of an invasion of Japan. Systematic
bombing of Germany follows this line but we
do not consider it a primary war effort and
there has been only one bombing of Japan.
Certainly, in any general discussion of strat
egy, these direct methods to reach the core of
the enemy deserve primary attention.
