WHEN Regional Forester Horace Andrews
briefly discussed Klamath's industrial
luture in his talk here the other night, he was
r. , on I subject that is receiving
paew ' a good deal of attention nowa-
uajo.
Rapid cut of timber in re
sponse to the war's heavy de
mand for wood has brought
the Industrial destiny of the
community to the fore in local
thinking, and there are favor
able evidences that that think
ing is taking a constructive
turn.
One such evidence was
meeting held a few days ago, at the suggestion
of C. S. Robertson of the First Federal Savings
and Loan association, for discussion by a
group of men active In industrial, business and
civic affairs of the community.
An interesting fact about the informal talk
was that there was not a hint of defeatism in
the entire conversation. It turned chiefly on
such subjects as the best method of getting a
survey of the industrial potentialities of the
community and the means of realizing them.
That there are such potentialities, and that they
are extensive, was never a subject for question.
Timber and the Future
THE community's industry will continue for
all time to rest extensively on timber pro
ducts, it was indicated definitely both in this in
formal discussion and in Mr. Andrews' talk.
While the heavy wartime cut is reducing the
raw material resource, Mr. Andrews hinted
what seems certaU to happen intensification
and diversification of manufacturing of timber,
products will sustain the labor payroll and the
profit from the vise of our timber resources.
Mr. Andrews described it as a "material in
crease in the man hours of labor to be used on
every 1000 feet of timber manufactured here."
He mentioned, in particular, remanufacturing
and waste utilization.
Weyerhaeuser Timber company, which is the
largest private holder of timber in this district,
Is conducting extensive experiments in the use
of wood products. It is operating a laboratory
at Longview said to excell even the forest pro
ducts laboratory at Madison, Wis. It is pre
sumed that Weyerhaeuser's experimentation
will be applied to the various timber products
on its extensive holdings here. Local manufac
turing developments should result from this
enterprise. x
The regional forester, in his talk, said that
he was "very hopeful for the future of wood,"
pointing out that the war itself had brought
new recognition of wood as a valuable material
for many purposes not previously realized.
The' Lord helps those who help themselves.
While the opportunities for this sort of develop
ment are here and seem certain to attract the
attention of industrialists and capital, the com
munity must see to it that they do. This will
take constructive local planning and action,
such as is likely to grow out of the meeting
held last week.
Organization work on this specific project
is in order, and will become increasingly neces-
sary as time goes on. It is good news that the
matter is already under local discussion. The
community must go to work on the problem
through the most effective methods that can be
developed.
ee.ee
Land Use
AT the Industry meeting, the subject of land
use development was brought up, and it
certainly has a place in any consideration of the
future of this community.
The obvious project along this line, which
is already under discussion, is the opening of
added thousands of acres in what is now the
Tule lake sump area. This is a resource that
is already of value, through farming by lessees.
The next step is to bring all land feasibly pos
sible into permanent cultivation under private
ownership.
The present form of operation naturally
tends to deplete the resource, for the land is
used on a temporary rather than a permanent
basis. It is not preserved as is done when per
manent drainage structures are Installed and
private owners operate it with a view to sus
taining the productivity of the soil for all time. '
The methods of community action by , which
the sump and tunnel project was brought about
may well be brought to bear on this land use
development a natural successor to the sump
and tunnel program.
But this is not the only land use develop
ment that may be regarded as a potential re
source of the Klamath community. There are
several others of outstanding importance. They
point to agricultural extension as a vital part
of the community's future economic prosperity.

By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, May 10 Mr. Roosevelt
said, after his southern camp inspection
trip, he thought it might be a good idea for
very young man to give a
year of his life to the service
of the state after the war.
Most of his hearers con
cluded that he had in mind
something like the various
European systems of military
training.
In most democracies before
the war, youths were re
quired to serve a year in the
army. This was done, not be-
MALLON cause it improved the young
man, but because the nations could not other
wise muster formidable military forces from
their small populations.
Compulsory military training often has been
discussed in the United States, but never at
tempted. We never have thought we needed
such a large army.
The New Dealers around the president, how
ever, think his terse remark was widely mis
understood. They do not believe he has any
idea of forced military training, but is thinking
along the same old lines he has followed on
this subject in the past.
The orthodox New Deal' textbook on youth
and youth training by the state apparently is
an essay on peace by the Victorian Harvard
philosopher, William James.
His idea was to inject pacificism into youth.
He thought war could be ended if an outlet
could be found for the pugnacious exuberance
of youth and if a physical substitute in farm
ing, for Instance, could be developed in them.
At least this is the way the New Deal philoso
phers tell it.
"
Farm Experiment
A MINOR experiment along that line was
tried In 1941 under government auspices.
Some Harvard and Dartmouth graduates were
brought, under the leadership of Professor
Kosenstock-Huessy, into experimental farming
work at Camp William James, Sharon, Ver
mont. There was much political ado about the
matter when Representative Engel (Republican,
Mich.) dug out of Who's Who the fact that
Professor Rosenstock-Huessy was not then
(1941) an American citizen and had Instituted
the German labor camps from 1925 to, 1933.
' The especially enthusiastic columnist, Dor
othy Thompson, was identified with the experi
ment, which apparently is still going on In
some trivial aftermath. At least, Dr. Rosenstock
Huessy is still around and interested, and some
Harvard men are supposed to be working on
several farms in New Hampshire or Vermont.
The experiment, however, was never satis
factory to anyone involved, and publicity about
it has vanished as well as any known govern
ment connection with it.
But Mr. Roosevelt is supposed to have been
a close follower of James, who was very popu
lar with students around the time of Mr.
Roosevelt's graduation from Harvard in 1904.
So many students attended James lectures that
they packed out through the doors into the
hallway.
It is therefore likely that the line of youth
service to be proposed here in post-war may
run into a yet unsuspected direction. It is more
likely to seek to utilize the facilities of the
federal government to give non-military train
ing or something in the way of a substitute for
military training, from which the physical bene
fits of the James philosophy may be derived.
Open Argument
ANY columnist will certainly be over his
depth wading into such unmeasured and
bottomless ideals. But anyone can join the argu
ment as apparently many people already have.
The importance of the James ideal in the
post-war world would seem to me to rest en
tirely upon the question of whether Mr. Stalin,
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, Mr. Churchill
and others would inject their youth with the
same anti-toxin serum. Its success in bringing
peace to the future world would depend more
on what other nations did than what we do.
Indeed the idea might itself lead inevitably
to war again if we practiced peace and others
did not, because the military weakness of our
ideals would invite a challenge by whoever
wanted to conquer us.
Wars do not spring from the pugnacious ex
huberance of youth as Mr. James supposed.
Certainly this one did not. It sprang from a
challenge to our civilization by ruthless aggres
sors who stole the march on us while we
studied ways of appeasement and peace.
Mr. James did not have the advantage of
knowing the ways of fascism and communism,
In my opinion, he would have written a very
different essay on peace today.

Hermit Cat Likes
Well-Fed Solitude
MONTCLAIR, N. J., May 10
(JP) A cat which is trapped be
tween walls of an apartment
house at 73 Walnut street appar
ently likes it there, because It
eats salmon and milk but won't
come out.
Duncan Gentles hacked a hole
In the wall of his first-floor
apartment, and roof ventilators
were removed.
The cat, however, has failed
to appear.
More bait of fish and milk will
be set out today, this time out
side the wall. If the cat still
remains adamant, Gentles said
he anticipated another sleepless
night.

THE BATTLE
I was flying my plane
Above water so pale,
When I saw a Zero
Right on my tail.
I dodged just In time,
And the bullets did fly.
Who'd be the winnerl
The Japl or I?
I started to climb higher
Into the air,
Said I to myself,
"He is going nowhere."
I climbed In the sky
Higher and higher
Then dived on the Zero
And started to fire.
My bullets struck home.
His motor was broke!
His plane was on fire,
He went up in smoke.
I watched him go down,
He was going to crash,
The Zero exploded
And made a great splash.

WHAT KIND
OF PATRIOTISM?
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) I would like to ask
Mr. King, the champion of the
unions, a few questions in con
nection with his reply to Mr.
Chase of the U. S. navy. If John
L. Lewis is not dictating to the
government of the United States,
what would you call It, Mr.
King? And one of the lesser
racketeers has already told the
government what his men are
going to get, or else. This Is the
president of the Pittsburgh dis
trict, with a name that you or I
couldn't pronounce. '
Another question Mr. King.
Would you be willing to give up
your paycheck and have tho gov
ernment pay you $5000 a month
and feed and clothe you? And
don't forget that after your first
issue of government clothes, you
would replace them at your own
expense.
Thank God we have men like
Mr. Chase fighting for us instead
of men that think as you do Mr.
King. Your labor leaders tell
us how patriotic organized labor
is and in the next breath will
order a walkout in a vital war
Industry. This is sabotage and
the men responsible for these
shutdowns should be put In a
detention camp for the duration
or put on one of the fighting
fronts for $50 a month. For
every slow down of war mater
ials means more American sol
diers are going to die on some
battlefield, for lack of some of
these materials of war.

Driving Trucks
For Private Use
Held ODT Violation
Driving trucks between places
of residence and business, to cir
cumvent gas restrictions on pas
senger automobiles, is a viola
tion of regulations, and gasoline
for this purpose is being denied,
it was stated here today by Her
man O. Sites, district manager
of the office of defense trans
portation, motor transport di
vision. "It should be clearly under
stood," Sites said, "that refusal
of war price and rationing
boards to give additional gaso
line for passenger car use Is not
sufficient grounds for the ODT
to give any more gas for truck
use.
