Because not everyone here
Is familiar with the Warm
Springs route, we have tried In
our own rough way to produce
a doodle map In this column today that shows
the location of the Warm Springs as well as
the Willamette, and the place each road has
In alternate routes from here to Portland.
The comparative distances, according to the
local chamber of commerce, are:
Via Willamette, 301 miles.
Via the Warm Springs, S13 miles.
- While this shows a mileage advantage for the
Willamette route, Bend people point out that
the Willamette takes the motorist through the
congested road system in the Willamette valley,
while the route via Warm Springs Is through
comparatively open and unsettled country. They .
claim a driving time advantage of from one
half hour to one hour for the Warm Springs
route.

stantial volume of traffic into The Dalles-California
highway, vitally benefiting Klamath. The
Willamette 1s already doing this, and naturally
and the biggest Job is a bridge over Mill creek
The Willamette, as we have said, has been
carrying general traffic for about three years,
but there is important construction work yet to
be done on the western end. The route follows
a former county road through the Pleasant
Hill country in Lane county, and the connec
tion at Goshen is most inadequate for a traffic
carrier of the Willamette's Importance.
We do not have, at hand, the total cost of
the proposed work on the west end of the Wil
lamette. The highway commission, however,
has recognized the need for this work by start
ing some actual construction there.
Post War Program
BOTH the Willamette and the Warm Springs
projects must have an important place in
forthcoming highway development, both as fast
through traffic carriers and in Intrastate traffic
functions.
From the Klamath Falls standpoint, the Wil
lamette not only is a good route to Portland,
but it is also an Important connection between
the Klamath country and the Willamette valley,
including the homes of our state schools and
the state capital.
The Warm Springs is also to be a fast, fav
orable route from here to Portland. Its local
significance to Bend is that it connects the
Central Oregon country with the. metropolitan
area more directly than does the present route
around through Maupin and over the whole of
the Wapinitia.
The construction work on both route Is
well removed from Klamath Tails, but we
are vitally interested in both. Bend certainly
is plugging hard for the Warm Springs, and
Klamath has a right to expect Eugene interests
to give solid support to the work on the west
end of the Willamette, which it near Eugene
and in Lane county. Both Jobs deserve Klam
ath interest
If all predictions of heaw hlshwav avrw.nrfi.
tures in Oregon after the war materialize, both
of these construction projects should be carried
through to completion and both routes wiU
then occupy their rightful place to the Oregon
highway picture. We owe Bend a debt of
graumae xor calling our attention anew to the
aiftuuicance or we warm Springs.

By PAUL MALLON , whUe Wallace Is trying: to carve out a new
len-wing career for himself, or force Mr. Roose
velt to include him on the fourth term ticket,
the orthodox democratic politicians are taking
a decidedly different but Just as interesting
w uucj mrmagjves.
Rayburn's "Grumblins"
QPEAKER RAYBUHN, often mentioned as the
a next Roosevelt running mate in Wallace's
place, has made a Texas speech denouncing
both criticism and critics of the administration,
calling them "Grumblins." This followed by a
speech from Senator Carter Glass, saying no
criucize ine administration in war
time.
Apparently, the democrats are not only get
ting ready for the fourth term, but are pre
paring to shush anyone who says anything
. ney not only want re-election,
but their tactics suggest they are going to insist
on no vocal opposition.
If they can create an impression that Jt is
unpatriotic or unwise for anyone to criticize
the president or the administration, the election
should be a mere formality.
A Butcher in Politics
CRITICISM, however, still goes on. A butch
er in a leading Washington grocery store
(one where Mr. Ickes sells his eggs)- has been
following a habit of asking each customer if he
would vote for Mr. Roosevelt for reflection.
Then he always announces that, he, for one, Is
not going to, and he will give, you a pretty
good talk running from five to 80 minutes on
his reasons.
A Justice department agent called on him
, e says, eitner to see if he is
loyal or If he could be hushed. The Justice
department man lost the argument. The butcher
laid down this rule to him:
"I am not saying anything about the war,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 His yes-men say
Henry Wallace is a changed man since
his unofficial demotion to about fourth vice
president behind Jimmy
Byrnes, the real first vice
president, Fred Vinson,, the
second, and Marvin Jones, the
third.
(This country now has more
vice presidents than a New
York bank.) But I'll say Mr.
Wallace has changed too.
By a heavy, violent speaking
campaign in the farming mid
west, now to be extended else
where. He seems to be trying
to re-establish himself as the
rallying point for the utmost left wingers and
the utmost internationalists.
To me, he always will be the father of
scarcity economics, the man who devised the
plan to pay good treasury money out to farm
erf for not growing things. I thought he was
proud of it until I read his recent speeches.
In those, he ardently denied being a scarcltlst
and came out for utmost mass production in
the post war world. His story was that his -killing
of those little pigs was somehow less
deplorable than the big steel corporations pig
iron curtailment when there was no market It
is a little mixed up, and no doubt Henry intends
to keep it that way.
Indeed, the story would go all right In the
CIO labor headquarters of the east (where Wal
lace seems to be) but how his metamorphosis
as a mass productionist would go over with
farmers still receiving his government benefit
checks, I am not able to say.
In general, his new line of goods, blaming
everything, including his own scarcity econ
omics, on the Invisible "corporations" is stand
ard political stock in trade, which, if a little
shop-worn, is still considered good stuff.
But now he is going to Chicago to advocate
the Ball-Burton-Hill-Hatch resolution a few days
after Mr. Roosevelt told the country this is
no time to argue over peace details but to
get on with the war. Senator Hatch does not
believe this Wallace move conflicts with the
White House wishes, because he says Wallace is
not going into details. Neverthless Wallace is
an outstanding advocate for getting together
with foreign nations now on a peace program

This column yesterday sug
gested that one of the problems
likely to be discussed in the
forthcoming conference between
Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill
Is what policy will bring the
best post-war cooperation among
the United States, Russia and
Britain in particular, and all the
allies in general.
This great issue, as I see It,
contemplates the likelihood that
the soviet union will emerge
from the war the dominant
power in Europe, and perhaps in
the orient as well. That's the
way the cards are falling at
present
Pressing Problem
Now of course I don't know
whether that subject will come
before President Roosevelt and
Premier Churchill. I just think
it's so pressing that it almost In
evitably must arise. Next to the
winning of the war, there's' no
question of greater importance
today. Vice President Wallace
pinned the thing down with
startling bluntness last March
when he declared:
"Unless the western demo
cracies and Russia come to a
satisfactory understanding be
fore the war ends, I very much
fear that World War No. 3 will
be inevitable."
Everyone Aware
Mr. Wallace isn't the only one
wno foresees the possibility of
conflicting interests. I found it
au tne way from England,
through the middle east to
Chungking, during my recent
35,000-mile tour. Now on the
eve of the allied conference we
see this idea cropping up sig
nificantly In the British press.
Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden's newspaper, the Yorkshire
Post, says Premier Joseph Stalin
was Invited to attend the confer
ence but wasn't able to accept
The paper then warns that the
"hour is at hand when it will be
imperative for the United Na
tions to nursue a unitpr! rnur
not only with regard to military
operations but equally with re
gard to the polities of Europe."
unity stressed
The London Times "The
Thunderer" stresses the neces

icans, British and Russ ana. and
gives as a gloomy alternative "a
fresh calamity for Europe." Lord

Standard expresses regret at

iiticai lmerty to JBurooe."
What's the exact nolnt of sll
this anxiety as the war rushes
toward its end. We et manv ex.
presslons of fear but people seem
to be terrified of taking a peep
into the closet to see what's
mere.
No Dark Secret
Actually, there's no dark se
cret involved, and no reason why
it shouldn't be discussed. Better
understanding of the problem
might help solve the difficulties
if any.
The point is that many astute
observers throughout the world
believe Russia will, as already
stated, dominate Europe and
maybe the far east. Because this
would represent a volcanic po
litical upheaval, a lot of coun
tries are afraid of the conse
quences. They are particularly
fearful lest communism should
be thrust upon them.
Big Country
Russia is the world's largest
country in area, occupying one
sixth of the earth's surface and
having a population of nearly
200,000,000. It is virtually self-
contained, possessing almost
every natural resource known to
man. It stretches from Europe
clear through to the Pacific a
two-continent empire.
Already it possesses a titanic
strength which potentially would
seem to be unlimited. Militarily
it's virtually impregnable. Its
position as a military power has
been established by sensational
achievements on the battlefield.
Domination
All these circumstances com
bine to make Russia heir to the
polltico-economic-mllltary dom
ination of central and eastern
Europe which Hitler threw away
when he started out to beat the
world. The soviet influence in
the far east long has been great,
and the war will enhance it.
So there in a very sketchy
way are the fundamental facts
of the situation. The problem is
to work out some agreement
among the major powers which
will prevent the circumstances
from developing adversely.
