C, (Special Correspond ence) Arrived in this steaming national capital yesterday morning and have been gasp t 1 ing for air ever since. I1 J"- lTl.i. WnfMtinlnn haflt nKftllt , "' which we had heard so much, I y3 deserves every slanderous ad- jective applied to it. It is a k J' i sticky, soggy heat, the air ,. being so thick one feels as if ne is moving sooui in a mass of very wet and very warm mashed potatoes. We started this piece with talk about the weather, be cause that is what Washing- tonians seem to talk about most. Incidentally, if you want to find out what it will be like tomorrow, you dial a certain telephone number and a sweet woman's voice gives you the dope. It is a transcription that repeats regularly so long as you hold the receiver to your ear. Here in the nation's capital, a most likely spot for enemy bombing, it takes just a lift of the telephone receiver to get an official weather forecast. Yet at home we cannot publish a fore cast and we can't even publish the facts on past weather conditions until they are 24 hours old! The newspapers here publish all the weather Information that is taboo in Klamath Falls, 0 0 ' In Washington COMING into Union station here yesterday morning, we found that magnificent struc ture busy .but not filled with sweeping droves of humanity as one might expect from '. the stories about Washington in war-time. Instead of an expected long wait, we got im mediate attention when we presented a baggage check for a bag checked from Klamath Falls. Taxicabs, however, are on a strictly share-and-share alike basis. At Union station, you don't take any cab that comes along. You wait until one comes that is going in your direction, and you wait until it is filled. This, we be lieve, is a current practice in most large cities. Hotel rooms are reportedly hard to find here. But we had our choice of rooms in three good hostelries. Maybe the stories about war-time Washington have been exaggerated or maybe we just got to thinking it would be worse 'than it is. Tenst Thursday AE arrived a day too late. Everybody tells V V us that Thursday, the day congress over rode the president's veto of the anti-strike bill, was the most tense day in Washington since war was declared. The house vote against the president was a distinct surprise to everybody, because it in volved change of vote by a number of con gressmen who had previously voted against the anti-strike bill. We are told there was considerable resent ment among administration congressmen who had been given to understand Mr. Roosevelt was for the bill and were put on the spot when he vetoed it They stuck by their orig inal vote for the bill and some others joined them. Victory Gardens ENOUGH for the time about Washington. We've been intending to say something here about Victory gardens. We've really seen them on our trip across the United States. We saw hundreds in backyards along the train tracks. In Chicago, vacant lots everywhere were growing vegetables. Apartment house residents had started gardens in vacant space adjoining the apartment buildings, dividing the spaces among the families. Buss Andrews, one-time Klamath Union high school dean of boys. Just called us up from Chevy Chase, Md., where he lives. He said he was spending today (Sunday) to his V garden, along with the rest of Chevy Chasers. There'll be a lot of vegetables grown in home garden plots of America this year. We've seen enough to convince us the V gardens idea is a SIDE GLANCES I COW. 1W 1Y MW tttVlCt. Wfc T. M. MO. ttt W.

"Our new neighbor seems to be having a terrible time- won t you run over and help him get his car slatted ' Familiar Note IN the utilities building in Chicago's teeming I Lkxp district, we came to a door with an inscription that was pleasantly familiar in those strange surroundings. It read: "Pelican Bay Lbr. Co." It is the office of O. J. Leonard, midwest sales manager of the Klamath firm, father of Bob Leonard, erstwhile Herald and News sports editor now in the service. The Leonards showed us a lot of Chicago in the brief stay we made there. These grac ious hosts left us at Pennsylvania station with a parting warning about Washington heat that was justified in every particular. We'll call this off and get into the tub. M.E. News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON ' - J ) WASHINGTON, June 29 Dear-: You' ask me for constructive suggestions for a post war plan. The maintenance of eternal peace should be the only objective of the set tlement I do not believe any of the old reactionary sug gestions will do the job league of nations, world courts, sworn promises to out law wars, pious pronounce ments of peaceful intentions. Indeed, we have found from current experience that they were only artificial and super ficial methods. They do not reach down into basic causes 7 I V J formula,, not an intricate contrivance, based on deals to be made by the world politicians, swap ping territory and policies here and there in a world conference. o Simple Method Best IF we could put our world of the future on I the same basis in which the people live to gether in a community, then we mav hav simplicity and sincerity as the foundation of our undertaking not some jumble of compromised principles arrived at by haggling between Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt and Chiang Kai-Shek try ing to outwit each other in some new confer ence. MALLON of war. In our search for a real solution, two basic '' of the community way of life, and you will .1L1 J. 1 1 j. 1 a . . '. Mi 1 mm - ... na yourseii arriving at these following lines I think we should lay down the basis upon which we promise to live, and maintain nun of the future, and let others adjust them selves to it as they will. Apply the principles 01 democracy and Christianity to the formula principles must be adopted first. The solution we want must be democratic and Christian. No nation which will sincerely espouse the principles of democracy or Christianity will be the aggressor in any war. It will not seek to Impose its will on others through an interna tional police force, a suggestion, which to me, is only an excuse for imperialism. Perhaps we might keep the world peace by Imperialism, but it would necessitate a com plete American policing of the world, and this, of course, is out of the question. Our allies would not accept such a proposal, even if of fered. The only kind of a peace-making imperialism which is possible In the existing situation would be one conducted Jointly by Russia, Britain, the United States and China. Such a Joint im perialism could be neither democratic nor Christian in nature. The Russians have a different system, which they no doubt intend to keep. Indeed, even the British system, while like ours in its Christian roots, is different from ours in democratic practice, because it is basically a limited Im perialism, developed to further the necessary aspirations of the British empire. o 0 Transient Empire IF we enter upon such a joint Chlno-Anglo-Russc-American imperialism, the makeshift empire will not last long, because its compon ent parts are not naturally congenial, but rather competitive and conflicting. These same considerations Impel me to lose hope in a world state, because such a state would only draw a deceptive cloak over the differences which exist in this world, but would not cure them. Indeed, such a pro posal is impossible for other reasons. Neither the Russians, British nor Chinese desire to sacrifice their national Interests and purposes, even If the United States desired to do so, and I cannot assume that we will ever desire such a state until it can be contrived on the basis for which we stand democracy and Christianity. Until the world comes to our principles, I do not believe our people would want one world. It would have to be our world. How then do we seek eternal peace on a basis of democracy and Christianity? What kind of a formula can wc get? I think we Bhould seek the simplest possible ' of planning: . A United States of Europe, modeled after nur own United States, elimination of tariff bar riers inerem, self-sufficiency in raw materials, the variety of nationals in Europe to have a common army, legislature, president, premier of wieir own cnoice. As for us, we would do as believers in democracy and Christianity do everywhere to protect themselves, in line with the community spirit We would acquire air bases and ' territory, not In the interests of world conquest, but to defend our shores, or hemisphere or "sphere of defense" wherever It lies from a strictly military (not a political) standpoint. The army and navy should decide this, not the White House. : We should get these In return for the debts outstanding against us, and we should seek them not only for defense but to make our selves self-sufficient as regards raw materials. Just as we proposed to have Europe do. We would maintain an army and navy, but particularly an air force competent to deal with any challenge of our Interests. We would have a good neighbor policy with the world, particularly with friendly democ racies, not on a basis of lending them money uuiiu ateei rams to compete with us, or any basis like that, but upon a genuine basis of mutual advantages. We would not strew our money around the world to change living standards, but we would cooperate with all nations in an effort to get them to improve themselves. Of all totalitarian regimes around the world, we should be suspicious and alert. We should remember that Britain and France could have killed off Hitler easily, and almost without loss 01 me, a they had moved promptly to meet their peril, rather than furnishing him with credit adjustments and materials to build him self into a formidable fighting force (as we did also with Japan). '' Prime Lesson THAT is the prime peace lesson of this war Constant alertness against any authority challenging our way of life. Complacency is the sin for which we are now suffering. Our future army, navy and air force must not only be su perior to its problems, but kept politically alert to its dangers. (Incidentally, the navy always wanted to go in and clean out Japan before we let her rise to a position of momentary super iority in the South Pacific; it could have been done easily some years ago.) Here we have the real cause of this war, and we must meet it directly. Now if you want some inter national organization, I say all right. Join it, for the minor superficial, speech-making thing it will be, but such a thing is dangerous, not primarily for what it will do to this country in a political or military way, but what it will do psycholog ically. It will make us com placent again. We will think we are secure again through this means alone, and discard our armament, and open the way for some stealthy aggressor, through secret treat ies and secret armament, to challenge again our superior ity in this world, because we will always have enemies as long as we are superior, and they will always be plotting to make themselves superior, whether through domination of a world state, a league of na Hons, or whatever other means. ucn international organiza tions always have been inconse quential up to now, and will be dangerous for the future, if we throw away again the superior armament we are acquiring for our side In this world. Let's keep the war won the way we win it. Let the future be an in definite armistice. Follow a new progressive course of developing the world to democracy and Christianity by example, in hopes that some day a world state on our basis may become naturally possible but always keep a strong right arm.
