Today's Roundup
fly MALCOLM EPLEY
HERE'S a big orchid lor Congressman Lowell
Stockman for getting us, at last, the con
struction and operation cost of the Tulelake
. Japanese relocation project.
The congressman's own size
? demands a proportionately
"t large flower, and so also docs
j his success in breaking through
i official reticence about the
i f cost figures on uie Dig center
at Tulelake. So far as we
know, no announcement of the
figures has been made prev
iously, and they are certainly
fei&m a news here.
EPLEY Details are given else
where in today's paper, but in round numbers
the construction cost of the camp was virtual
ly $7,000,000.
That is approximately seven times the cost
of the Tule lake tunnel project, for which com
munity effort was put forth for several years
here. It is almost as much as the total con
struction cost of the whole Klamath reclamation
project, which is $7,367,000.
It is well over half the assessed value of all
taxable property in the city of Klamath Falls.
Built In Hurry
THE Tulelake center was built in a great
hurry, at a time when all construction costs
were exceptionally high. Economy was obvious
ly sacrificed for speed. During the construc
tion there were many evidences of waste that
became a subject for widespread discussion
throughout the nearby district.
It was a wartime job, accomplished under
pressure conditions, but it gave local people a
first hand demonstration of what a government
construction job is like under those circum
stances. If it made them more tax-conscious
and aroused their sentiments against public
waste, it accomplished a good purpose.
The operations cost for nine months have
totaled nearly $5,000,000, and the per year
cost per evacuee is estimated by the WRA at
$457.33. These costs will continue to run on,
but presumably will taper off as evacuee
are moved out of the project to individual jobs
removed from the coastal defense areas.
All of this money has been spent in a pro
gram which, under the pressure of war condi
tions, has been regarded as a necessary part
of domestic policy. This is indicative of the
enormous cost of war; what could be accomp
lished with the same money in this locality
under peacetime conditions is demonstrated by ,
that comparison with the cost of our great
reclamation project.
Sympathetic Treatment
WE do-, not know why, up to now the
figures on the cost of the Tulelake pro
ject have not been announced.
Our understanding is that there has been
official desire to show to the world that the
government has treated Japanese and Japanese
American evacuees fairl and sympathetically
in connection with the war relocation program.
These figures, it seems to us, offer conclusive
proof that the government has done that. It
has spent huge sums to provide temporary
homes and other facilities for the evacuees, and
it is spending huge sums for their support and
care.
The figures show it
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, May 4 Only a paltry para
graph or two heralded the news that
business has changed its policy and now favors
the Hull reciprocal trade pro
gram. At least, that portion of
business as represented by the
National Association of Manu
facturers and the United States
chamber of commerce, m a d e
such an announcement through
representatives appearing be-
fore the house ways and means
committee. The public appear
ance of the NAM was made
after its board nHvflv aaruA
to reverse its policy of three years ago with
very little dissent of members.
The business experts did not say so, but
I it 'MM
MALLON
apparently they figured world trade must be
different after the war. Our manufacturing
production capacity has been greatly expanded
by the armaments program.
The machines now used for weapons can
be changed back to peace-time products much
easier than they were changed to war. Re
placement of one or two parts and tools are
all that will be necessary in many instances,
they say, and a better machine tool industry
exists to do the job.
This extra production will have to be sold
either in a greatly expanded American market
(more people able to have radios, bathtubs, re
frigerators, etc.) or in a larger foreign market.
The world will have little gold or goods with
which to buy our surplus manufacturing pro
duction. It would be very foolish of us to "sell" these
extensively on credit through any of the old or
newly suggested devices. Actually, all we
would be doing under such arrangements la to
give our products away at the expense of our
people as a whole.
As long as we export more than we import,
we will naturally accumulate world debts which
cannot be paid, or gold which is of doubtful
value. We already have too much of both.
If we establish the Keynes or White systems
of international payment, we will merely ac
cumulate all the new international currency,
"unitas" or "bancor," which, apparently, is to
have only the value which our government un
derwrites for it. In times of international
bankruptcy and post-war conditions will ap
proximate that the only way for us to get
paid for our products is by importation of
goods.
This line of reasoning has brought the busi
ness people here around to the idea that 50
per cent reductions of our tariffs, as provided
in the Hull program, may help our selling.
The old fear of cheap foreign labor and foreign
under-selling appears to have diminished.
And, Inasmuch as labor has joined in ap
proval through AF of L's Bill Green, it looks
like Mr. Hull has gathered unexpected support.
Fourth-Term Talk
NEBRASKA'S new republican Senator
Wherby was just about right when he said
at Pittsburgh that Mr. Roosevelt is already
nominated for the fourth term. He is nom
inated as far at common Interpretation in
Washington la concerned.
The generally accepted belief In all political
camps her is that the war probably will be
on at the time and renominatioo will be ar
ranged as a matter of course.
Just now, the government officials like OWI'i
Elmer Davis are saying that the fourth term
talk Is "hot air" while the party wheel-horses,
like Senator Guffey and Governor Neeley are
out making speeches presenting the fourth term
notion as "natural and inevitable."
The pattern of the fourth term campaign is,
therefore, little different than the third, except
in one particular. The exigencies of war seem
to have led Mr. Roosevelt's personal officials
(Ickes, et al) to refrain from participating open
ly in what the wheel-horses (Walker, et al) are
openly promoting.
Jackson Hole Monument
INTERIOR SECRETARY ICKES hat decided
not to make too much of a monument out of
the Jackson Hole country, even with his presl.
dential decree. He has announced grazing can
be continued and those who have homes in
the region may keep them for life under the
benevolent philanthropy of the new federal
landlord.
But this does not settle all the basic prin
ciples or difficulties of the federal seizure by
presidential order.
The county government will lose close to
$20,000 a year In taxes as . a result of the
president's action. Approximately 200 men have
gone from that region to fight the war for their
homes, only to find now that these homes are
to be available only for life, by executive
decree.
It now develops further that two congres
sional committees refused to let the government
seize the area before Mr. Roosevelt chose to
do It by fiat. As one citizen of the region
has written:
"Jackson Hole may be a monument to Mr.
Ickes, but It's only a tombstone to me" and to
everyone else who lives there.
MINER TELLS OF
GRANTS PASS, May 4 (Pi
Possible lead to the Dauntless
dive bomber the navy has an
nounced missing since March 13
was reported here today by Pete
Neubert, miner, who saw a large
light-grey ship in obvious dif
ficulty sweeping the treetops on
that day near his shaft on the
lower Illinois river. '
Coming in low on a stormy
iailwind from the southwest the
plane, its engine misfiring, could
not hold its right wing up nor
gain altitude, Neubert said, and
was pocketed inside a rim of
mountains, it barely missed the
bluff when it failed to top the
ridge and circled away.
On a second attempt it cleared
the rim and posed steeply down
as It disappeared from sight on
the northeast side. Others saw
the plane, Neubert declared, and
lis placed the date as about
March 14 by reference to his
mine payroll book and damage
done by the storm then blowing.

SAILOR ON LABOR ISSUES
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (To The
Edtior) When I left Klamath
Falls to enter military training
in the navy, there was appear
ing in your column quite a con
troversy on the labor unions,
wages, hours, etc., matter. I
would like to add my bit to this
argument as a laboring man and
also as a sailor.
The boys at home in the woods
and mills were griping about
low wages, time and a half, long
hours, etc. Well, boys, I just wish
you hams were here. We work
from 12 to 16 hours a day and as
a guard company we work 20
hours a day, four hours sleep.
We don't get time and a half, 48
hours a week. We get $50 per
month. No back talk or explain
ing allowed.
We aren't organized Into the
AFL or CIO, maybe that's what
we should do, but wouldn't this
be a h of a navy? This patriot
ism preaching is a fact, when
you guys get a $300 check, think
of our $50 a month. Sure we get
our meatless Monday, Wednes
day and Friday, our first issue
of clothes free, but from then on
it s pay and pay dearly.
If the BLIND American labor
er doesn't get wise to the labor
union racketeer soon, it will be
too late. Why must you suckers
keep a million labor racketeers
on easy street and let them do
the thinking for you? Usually
when they're boiled down, they,
your brains, are less educated
than most "lumber jacks," and
that's not saying a h of a lot
for either party.
If the people would take time
out from their fast day and read
their own Constitution, they
would find that the department
of labor, in our own present cab
inet, was formed to "Protect and
further the living conditions and
working conditions of the labor
ing man." Why isn't this being
done? What right have unions
doing this government business?
At the present time, the labor
ing man, through the various
unions, have taken away sacred
rights of the employer that have
been theirs since the Industrial
Revolution. Do you men realize
when you collaborate and tell
the man you work for, the man
with three million dollars invest
ed In a logging concern, when
you tell him you won't work be
cause he fired a man, that his
money is idle, I'd also hate to
think I wasn't man enough to
hold my own job without union
help. Think it over, boys, for
when the next FALL comes,
which it Inevitably will, regard
less of FDR; when that man, the
employer, starts giving VOU a
bad time, don't cry, Just think
of the BAD times you gave him.
Just work, for we're fighting
and we'd hate like h to win
this war and come home to have
to kick h out of a bunch of
AFL and CIO BUMS. '
Most sincerely,
WAYNE CHASE.
