Swedes Pleased by
Transit Decision
STOCKHOLM, Aug. 8 (IP)
The Swedish public demonstrat
ed pleasure today at the decision
by the government of King
Gustav V to bar Sweden's transit
facilities to German troops and
war material. -
The average Swede never ap
proved of the nazi transit traf
fic between Germany and Nor

prepared nation In 1940.

Sweden is canceling facilities

Japs Lose Twice
As Many Warships
As United States
U. S. HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTH PACIFIC, Aug. 6
(IP) Japan has lost more than
twice as many warships and four
times as many planes as the
United States in the South Pa
cific since the beginning of the
Solomons campaign one year
ago.
A compilation based on of
ficial communiques showed to
day the extent of American
superiority over the enemy in
the air as well as on sea.
Figures covering the period of
August 8, 1842 to May 8, 1943,
for the South Pacific only,
placed Japanese losses as 96 war
ships sunk, 18 probably sunk
and 129 damaged.
United States losses were 41
ships sunk and nine damaged.
FIRE TOTAL
Seventy-seven fires have been
cdmbatted in the Klamath basin
thus far in the season, Vern
Moore, county chairman for the
"Keep Oregon Green" cam
paign, said today.
Man-caused fires in the Klam
ath Forest Protective association
number four, while lightning
has been responsible for 16. In
the Rogue River-Lake o' the
Woods district, no man-caused
fires have been reported, and
only three fires were started by
lightning.
In the- Fremont forest area,
lightning caused '18 fires and
men 12. In the reservation area
there were 12 of each type of
fire.
None of the fires have been
very serious, but the most dan
gerous season for fires is yet to
come, Moore cautioned. Favor
able weather and restricted
travel were given as possible
reasons for the good record to
date.
Moore warned about a com
placency which might allow
more fires to be started through
carelessness. The prevalence of
grass fires in . suburban areas
and hills surrounding Klamath
Falls indicates, a disregard for
laws designed to protect us and
a general attitude of careless
ness as well as a failure to edu
cate children properly in re
gard to starting fires, Moore
said.
. The "Keep Oregon Green"
campaign also includes keeping
highways free from unsightly
and unsanitary objects. Some
cases have been reported in
which debris has been dumped
within 10 feet of the highway,
Moore revealed.

danger Is that people like you
and me will hesitate to take the
risks involved in new ventures
suggested by research, because
government has removed our
chance to reap the benefita of
hard work and enterprise in
volved in putting these ventures
over."
No Incentive
Pointing to the tax problem,
which has taken as high as 81
per cent of earnings, he said:
"There exists today no incen
tive whatsoever for a company
like ours to risk $750,000 or any
other sum of money to effect cost
reductions, to pursue research or
bring out new products, except
the hope that after the war the
taxing power will be more gent
ly exercised.
'This company's present and
post-victory policies are entirely
predicated upon a belief in the
return of endurable taxes and
degree of business freedom com
mensurate with the responsibili
ties we are willing to assume.
We expect to continue to remold
our plant facilities as new mar
kets can be developed markets
that will utilize the wood now
growing on the Weyerhaeuser
Klamath tree farm and on other
similar areas.
To Stay In Business
"In short, with your permis
sion, we expect to stay in busi
ness." Macartney reviewed the his
tory of the Klamath lumber in
dustry from the first little mill
at Fort. Klamath to the big de
velopments following the com
ing of the railroads. The Weyer
haeuser people began buying
timber here early in the century,
and started construction of a
mill in 1928, beginning produo
tion in 1929.
"Our company is quite proud
of the fact that except for three
months in 1933 its mill has
never entirely shut down from
that day to this and we hope it
never will," said Macartney.
' Taxes Paid
He pointed out that the Wey
erhaeuser company had paid
nearly $3,000,000 in taxes on
real and personal property in
this county, paying taxes not
only on forest lands, but retain
ing its ownership of cut-over
lands after the first crop was har
vested. "Only by being sure of our
supplies of raw material can we
plan for steady and continuous
manufacturing," said Macartney.
We have planned as carefully
as we know how to make ours a
permanent wood-working indus
try in Klamath Falls. We believe
all this is simply the exercise of
good, common-sense business
practice. We believe it makes
good business sense for the com
.munity of citizens who live in
the Klamath basin. In sum, we
are trying to keep the harvest in
step with the growth."
Forests Attacked
The local manager told how
decay, fire and insects are con
stantly attacking the forests.
Stating that it is expert opin
ion that intensive management
can materially increase the yield
of saw timber. Macartney added
that it is common knowledge
that the total potential growth in
this region is considerably less
than the present cut. The region
Is not now in balance.
'It means that when the pre
sure of cutting for war needs is
over and when the pressure of
cutting on old timber is over,
then eventually Klamath basin's
permanent forest industries will
find a natural balance between
growth and cut," he said.
Tree Farming
Turning to tree farming, he
said:

ponding responsibilities delegat

Important Step
Governor Snell said that the
dedication of the "pine tree
farm" marks an exceedingly Im
portant step in the stabilization
of the economic life of Oregon
and the west.
"Now let us protect this and
subsequent tree farms from the
ravages of fire and destruction.
"It is generally recognized
that the success of any forestry
program depends about 75 per
cent on fire prevention. How
ever, any well-rounded forestry
program demands more. A com
plete program demands fire pre
vention, conservation and educa
tion, sustained yield, orderly cut
ting and the utilization of waste.
Oregon Leads
"And in auch a program, it is
my understanding that Oregon
leads the nation.
"This means much In the years
to follow in the post-war per
iod. I wish to emphasize that the
over-all success of any post-war
program is inseparably connect
ed with the post-war success of
private industry and free enter
prise."
Presents Certiiicate
Governor Snell then presented
the tree farm certificate to Wey
erhaeuser and Macartney.
Mayor John Houston intro
duced Governor Snell, who left
after the meeting to return to
his offices at Salem. J. Vern
Owens, president of the chamber
of commerce, presided at the
banquet.
