News 5e,W the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON. AprU 29 This is ono
world all right but take another look
t It behind the news of the day.
This was sianeo. unco uti
many attacked Poland. Sep
tember 1, 1939, and 15 days
later, Russian troops crossed
Poland's border cancelling
soviet-Polish treaties. Indigna
tion in this country ran high
against both Germany and
Russia.
Three months later, on Nov
ember 28, the soviet govern
ment renounced its non-aggres-
MALLOH tion pact (1932) with Finland,
and, two days later. Invaded that country.
Popular American opinion against Russia hit
uch heights that we collected millions of dol
lars of our good money to aid the Finns against
the Russians. Anyone In our country who did
aot contribute was an enemy of democracy.
These almost unanimous public beliefs of
ours prevailed for nearly two years when Hit
ler suddenly (June 21, 1941) turned on Russia.
All our thinking switched diametrically.
Little Finland began to fight back against
Russia, but we no longer considered her as a
valiant democratic nation fighting against ag
gression. Her fight was the same, but, this
time, we looked on her as a tool of the nazis.
Indeed, events drew us the whole way
around and soon we found ourselves also fight
ing on the side of Russia, contributing billions
to her cause.
Only last week, we withdrew most of our
embassy from Finland, presumably because she .
would not make peace with Russia. We could,
not afford to be aiding an enemy of our sew
ally.
a
Polish-Russian Situation
ALL the while, we harbored the exiled.
Polish government which had been crushed
by the nazis and invaded by the Soviets. But
this week - when that Polish government de
manded a Red - Cross investigation of Polish
murders, our soviet ally practically declared
itself about these people in our midst by .with
drawing diplomatic recognition. The Kremlin
acted quickly, without consultation.
This act seemed a shock to us, but In view
of the above history. It was logical and natural.
The only reason it appeared to us as a shock
was because we had nationally deluded our
selves Into false assumptions.
Sveryons with an eye clearly focused could
see from the start that Russia was in this war
because the double-dealing Hitler had invaded
her homeland, and that this homeland was what
she was fighting for not primarily, to defend
democracy or a new world democratic federa
tion, or-a quart of milk a day, not for the four
freedoms, certainly not our conception of them
M far as Finland and Poland are concerned.
Our swiftly changing publicity promoters,
however, have tried to make seme propaganda
mesh out of the necessities which brought us
and Britain into the war on the same side '
and to dovetail our Ideals and our purposes."
They did it so enthusiastically that they got us
to believing that everyone on our side looked
at this war as the average American man in
the street.
Perhaps they even convinced themselves
until Moscow put them right. Indeed, Moscow
dispatches say she might have acted earlier
against the Poles in connection with other
matters. Molotoff s note says straightout that
Sula wants Polish territory.
And is Molotoff wrong In thus preparing to
demand Polish territory? Poland was Russia,
Austrian and Prussian before the last World
war. The treaty of Versailles restored her
ancient individuality, but thereafter she always
had trouble with Russia.
a a a
Historical Answers
STALIN no doubt will contend eventually her
eastern provinces are rightly his. It all
depends on how far you go back Into history
which answer you get. Both sides get the one
they want.
Anyone who can settle the boundaries satis
factorily to Russia and Poland has sufficient
astuteness to be the leader of the world, but
no one will ever fulfill that mission.
Now the Russians say the Poles are making
nazi capital by bringing up the atrocity matter.
That may or may not be.
The far more important thing to us is that
these facts regarding Poland and Finland show
how mercurial has been our public opinion and
how whether high or low it has seldom
looked at the other fellow's side of the matter
or understood his position. We too make up
our opinions on a basis of our own self
interest. Every nation has, always will.
Certainly here is the profound eternal truth
of international relationships. Here is the basis
upon which the post-war world must be built.
It is a basis of conflicting interests, ancient ter
ritorial arguments, racial and religious com
petitions. The solution of our hopes to live in peace
hereafter must be founded upon these human
equations, these realities. It cannot be found
in the stars of idealism or in the skies of self
deceptive hopes, or by throwing away of money
and food to get temporary conformance.
It is one world, but it is an earthy world.
SIDE GLANCES
The War Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
THE rather startling debate in Washington
over whether we are, or are not, encounter
ing difficulties with our supply of high octane
aviation gasoline, gives to wonder how our
number one antipathy. Heir Hitler, is getting
along with his fuel supply.
America is by far the world's greatest pro
ducer of petroleum' and gasoline, and the big
gest industrial nation. If we strike snags (or
do we?) what must be the trials .of the Hun
whose supplies of oil apart from what he
piled up before the war and stole from occu
pied countries come from the comparatively
small production of the low-grade Rumanian
wells and from synthetic processes applied to
coal? ...
a a a ' a
German Gas
OF COURSE the Germans don't normally use
octane gasoline, which is for specially de
signed American engines. However, the prob
lem of ordinary aviation gas still remains.
We don't know Just what Hitler's gasoline
resources are, but as long ago as last summer
military experts noted indications that the nazis
were running very short. The great storage
of oil and gas which he made in preparation
for the war, and the stocks he took from
France and other ravaged countries, undoubted
ly are depleted.
The Germans likely are making most of
their lubricants and gasoline synthetically from
coal. That's a slow and arduous process, for
it takes a lot of coal to produce a gallon of
oil, and much more for aviation gasoline.
Probably the production of 100 octane gasoline
in practical quantities would be out of the
question.-' '
a a
Direct Injection Engine
OF COURSE, the nazis have built their air
plane engines for a much lower grade of
gasoline. They use a direct injection engine,
that is, one without a carburetor. The result
is that they get more power with their ordinary
gasoline. '
Still, figure it as you will, the oil experts
feel fairly certain Hitler is suffering from a
serious shortage of gas. That undoubtedly Is
one of the reasons why his air force has been
lying doggo for months now. Not even the all
important North African show has drawn
very much air strength from the continent, and
thus far the Germans have taken the bombard'
ment of western Europe lying down.

"Dear Joe: Somethin' mighty
swell happened to me on my last

corner, not knowin' anybody in
town, when a stranger says
hello, soldier-how'd you like a
chicken dinner at home with me
and the wife?'
"Well, It turns out they were
the kind of folks who couldn't
do enough to help out soldiers.
They'd invited two other feb

"We bad a fine dinner, talked

New Pine Creek
Marvin Fisher, and young son.
from Sacramento, paid a sur
prise visit to New Pine Creek
last Friday while he and his fam
ily were visiting with his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fisher
in Lakeview, and with his broth'
er, Raymond Fisher and family.
Marvin and son were on horses
getting a touch of the good old
western ranch life as he knew
it 20 years ago when he gradu
ated from New Pine Creek high.
He is now an Instructor at Sac
ramento Junior Business college
and finds his work there inter
esting. He said the enrollment
in the physical education depart
ment there had decreased from
345 to 168 and that the whole
college enrollment had dropped
from 3000 students to 700 in
two and one-half years, so that
now they- have nearly a girl's
school. This gives one an idea
of what a total war status does
to a college. He also said the
Sacramento school system had
lost to the service or defense,
101 teachers.
Mr. Fisher said he had 22 men
in baseball uniform and none of
them last year's lettermen. All
new material, but boasted of
having some real good players
at that
Marvin was on a five-day leave
and therefore had not much time
to visit old friends and acquaintances.
The New Pine Creek Pinochle
club met last Thursday at the
home of Mrs. Maude Butler with
Mrs. Jack Hinton as hostess.
Those present were Mrs. Faye
Keller, Mrs. Elizabeth Alexander,
Mrs. Betty Snider, Mrs. Dorothy
Blunt, Mrs. Alpha Smith, Mrs.
Maude Butler, Mrs. Grace Ber
nard, Mrs. Eliza McCrary, Mrs.
Jewel Cambron, Mrs. Buna B.
Far is and -the hostess, Mrs. Vir
ginia Hinton.
Mrs. Jewel Cambron won high
score, and Mrs. Grace Bernard
got low.
Delicious grape-nut sour cream
pie and coffee was served for re
freshments. Mrs. Delbert Cloud and Mrs.
Carroll Cloud made the trip to
Klamath Falls last Wednesday
week with Mr. and Mrs. Claude
Newcombe of Lakeview.
Arlene Tuxhorn is among the
last of the local school children
to come down with chickenpox.
She is getting over them nicely,
however.
Mrs. Ruby Daniels of Lake
City visited with her son, Leroy
Daniels and family here over the
weekend.
William Allen, son-in-law of
Charles Lark in, and wife arrived
last Sunday to take over the
Larkin ranch. Mr. Allen plans
to stock the ranch and make it
their home. For the last 12
years he has been driving a cater
pillar tractor for the McCloud
Lumber company, at McCloud,,
but for some time has wanted to
locate on a ranch.
Mrs. Dorothy Blunt left last
Tuesday morning to visit her
husband. Pvt. Glessner Blunt, at
Camp Roberts, Calif. She will
be gone about a week.
William Owsley, who has been
operating the hydro plant up
the canyon for the California
Public Service for nearly a year,
is quitting the first of the month
to work for the ZX ranch at
Paisley driving truck. Dick Gale
of Lakeview will assume the re
sponsibility of running the plant
after the first, Mr. Owsley said.
The Owsleys have made many
friends in the short time they
have resided here who will hate
to see them leave the commun
ity. -
