Klamath has been moving along peacefully since that busy September Sunday. The Jehovahites, whose activities I tv-V I i aroused the local ire have been I YlvIl mucn less in evidence 5ince that day whether because ot EPLEY what happened then, we do not know. We venture the opinion that even under the same provocation, the local folk who got into that affair would not do it again. Maybe we're wrong, but we have the idea this community is undergoing a "settling down" process that makes such a civil disturb ance less likely to occur. Meanwhile, there have been a series of sen sational outbreaks of civil violence in various parts of the country. These incidents have usually occurred in larger cities New York, Detroit, Los Angeles, Oakland. Vancouver had a dangerous one. Race feeling was at the back of much of this, while payday sprees have apparently started trouble in war production centers on the west coast Our town, which had its flare-up early in the war period for entirely different rea sons, isn't threatened with such ugly incidents as have been occurring elsewhere. That's all right with us. The people here are working hard, taking their pleasures moderately, and for the most part giving solid home front support to the war effort. That s all to the good. . . , The one emotionally unsettling factor locally for the past year has been the Japanese center at Tulelake. Strong feeling on this subject has risen and subsided at intervals over the war period. If, as has been indicated, the army establishes a battalion of military guardsmen at Tulelake, and stricter regulations are im posed by the WRA when "disloyal" Japanese -are concentrated there, one cause for concern over that situation will be alleviated. Please Don't Do It ON rather rare occasions this newspaper, like others, has been duped by some practical prankster who induces' us to carry a false story.' One such incident occurred last weekend, when an erroneous wedding announcement ap peared in the paper. The pranksters who did this job. teamed up ingeniously to make the story appear real. They left a written copy of information about the prospective wedding at the newspaper office, and a girl, Impersonating ' the bride-to-be, called by telephone to give further details.. As is clear to anyone, that system is likely to get the story in the paper.. We try to take every reasonable precaution against such things, but it is possible to fool us. Anyone who would stoop to such an act is pretty low, and probably impervious to appeal, but we do urge our public to help us keep our news straight and to avoid such incidents as occurred last weekend. - Pick-Ups AE have a V-Mail letter from Major Dayton VY E. Van Vactor, erstwhile Klamath attor ney now with the air corps in some foreign land ... He didn't say where, but we've heard Van is in Africa helping the air corps do the Job up right over there . . . He's received some recent letters from here that have pleased him immensely. Wonder how many people, like us, catch themselves walking away without putting down the cash after giving up ration stamps. Recent rumors about a naval base on Upper Klamath Lake remember the one that was built last spring and is now being built again were due in part to an effort to increase the membership of our Commandos, girls' service club . . . The club does want more qualified members, but not to entertain the boys from the Upper lake navy base. Chairman Marshall Cornett of the "This Is the Army" committee, scared his fellow com mitteemen by demanding they walk out on the stage of the Pelican Wednesday night and be introduced . . The yowl of protest almost drove the senator back to Kentucky . . . The committeemen and women will be introduced from their seats at the big benefit show , .... Personally, we aren't sure whether to credit it all tojstagefright or modesty. Every time a Roosevelt victory in 1944 Is predicted, our republican friends are frightened and indignant over what it'll be like after that ... We offer them the brightly optimistic thought that they'll still get mail delivery then, just like the democrats . . . There's no practical alternative means of getting federal tax state ments to them and for getting tax returns and. checks from them.

For a historical authority, Mr. Lippmann cer tainly has ignored a lot of history. Alliances as . a security for peace? Hitler and Stalin had a non-aggression security alliance (August 1939) through which Russia got half of Poland and furnished Germany with material but 22 months later they were at war (June 1941). The Anglo-Japanese alliance (1902-22) is not too old to be forgotten. Yet Britain and Japan are now at war. Military alliances to safeguard defense secur ity? Poland had just such an alliance with Britain and France at the outset of this war, a - pact which pledged both to protect Polish borders.' As the Poles well know, no help arrived. The pact could not be made effective for the purposes of Poland at that time. , - History is strewn with more black pages than white on the subject of alliances, running all the way back to the triple alliance of 1688, and even the holy alliance of 1815, and yet the world periodically came to war. - ' What about the Anglo-French alliance? Brit ain has always had a foreign policy, and for many generations past, it has been exactly what Mr. Lippmann now suggests for our fu ture. Essentially, it has been the Anglo-French alliance -to out-man and out-gun the rest of Europe. But many English will now testify their historic policy based on alliances is a fail ure, and got Britain into wars, but did not give her peace from any.

Ma rraaclaeo, Xaw York, Sa- alUa, Chicago, Portland, Lot ABftlea, MALCOLM EPLEY ifaaaurinf Editor ' " ' Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 Now comes an other book with another proposal to at tain security - in the post war world. This time it is by the widely-accepted international com mentating authority, Walter Lippmann, who occasionally dips his pen in official ink. His book, "U. S. Foreign Policy" has become a best seller, second only to Mr. Willkie s "One World," which is still going strong. Mr. Lippmann's idea Is that the United States never in all its history, has had a foreign has -had no foreign policy is not rooted in any .more solid facts.. . The U. S. has had a policy, a very determined policy, even when it has been negative. In fact, Mr. Lippmann refutes his own contention, by pointing out that we have even had . unannounced, unofficial but ineffec tive alliances from time to time, such as those which drew us into the last two wars on the side of Britain and Russia. He could also men tion the Kellogg-Briand pact renouncing war forever. ' Now I do not wish to Join any arguments between isolationists or interventionists, or vice versa. That current discussion will be out dated as soon as Churchill and Stalin speak their minds on post war. I wish only to point out that some very bad and misleading history is now achieving best-seller circulation. I wish only -to say that alliances never brought peace to anyone, Alliance Possibilities PERHAPS there will be an Anglo-American-Russian alliance after this war, or at least an Anglo-American alliance. If there is, let no man accept it as a new peace panacea or a new solution for security. Let no American then drop his guard. The security, if not the peace of this country, must rest on more substantial foundations, or not at all. We must buttress whatever deals or alliances the politicians make with new air bases protecting this continent, with a superior two-ocean navy which will shield this continent, with a superior air force kept continually alert (this last being the most important). It may be expensive, but it is less costly than support ing the rest of the world, and far less costly than war. Start Repeating History IF WE put our faith in alliances and not In guns, if we are thus deceived into a false sense of security and disarmament, if w can find no other way than this to keep the peace, we can start repeating history right back at the disarmament conference of 1922. We made an alliance then, a tri-partite disarmament alliance, which was not kept by Japan, and which was used to screen her secret naval building against us. . v If we accept this way of fooling ourselves again, we will put ourselves in the pre-war position of France, wholly unalert to the dan gers of secret arming in Germany and Italy, confident in her alliance with Britain (Czecho slovakia and Poland) and in the massive monu ment of the inadequate Maginot line, which is now the headstone on her grave. . his flock yesterday was depriv ed of his "C" gasoline ration book and had his "A" book sus pended for 30 days. Stephen B. Derringer, chief investigator for the district of fice of price administration, said the "flock" included one member each In Sweet Home and Hood River, Ore., and that the minister had visited both with a stopover In Portland to visit his mother-in-law.

' SIDE GLANCES "Writing to Clark Gable nnd but why not write to the soldier boys you know? You j don't have to be that patriotic!" From Other Editors Klamath's 500.000-Acr Tree Farm (Coos .Bay Times) Klamath Falls is now in pos session of a 500,000 acre "tree farm," the largest and said to be the most scientifically managed private engagement in sustained yield of timber in the United States. Governor Earl Snell went there last week to place a mem orial marker at the entrance of the farm and we would be re creant to our keen interest in reforestation if the event was ex cluded from editorial comment by the vital war news. . - - Promoters and owners of the farm are the Weyerhaeuser In terests who with the Crown Zellerbach company and the Longbell firm are dominant among the perpetual . forest yield private planners of the northwest. Speaking at the farm dedication, R. R. Macartney, manager of the Klamath Falls operations for the company, gave the key to Klamath Falls' jubilation when he said: "We have planned as carefully as we know how to make ours a per manent wood-using industry in Klamath ' Falls." It takes no prophet to realize the signifi cance of such news to every householder, every merchant, every person who wishes to take root in that southern Oregon city and there make his life. J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., was at the meeting also and he ad mirably stressed the research his company is doing in better use of forest raw materials. Unques tionably the field for getting more finished products from each board foot in the tree is barely started in the northwest. Weyerhaeuser, while commend ing the government for working together to bring forest conser vation and tree growing as well as new processes of utilization, criticized existing tax policies which tax as much as 81 of a company's earnings and leave little room for risk capital to venture into the forest business. We think the post-war period, will unquestionably see these taxes materially reduced. In ad dition, this newspaper is coming to the view that only the federal government or a very few large operators with huge investments such as Weyerhaeuser, can ex pend the money, bide their time, manage the "tree farms" until the time of reaping is at hand. Whatever the process be, pub lic or private tree farms, or both, or a combination of both these are subsidiary facts to the urgent need that the north west stimulate the growing, proper harvesting, full protec tion of its timber crop. When a vast timber manufacturing concern such as Weyerhaeuser leads the way, the example is more forceful than columns of newspaper preachments. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP By Charles V. Stanton Roseburg News-Review There has been a record switching and doubling of jobs in the News-Review office dur ing the past few days. With two men in the hospital and another on vacation, the remaining reg ular employes are getting a mighty tough workout. When Louis Reizenstein, telegraph ed itor, went on his vacation this week (leaving us, thank good ness, a week's supply of his LFR quips) we took over the job of editing the wire news. Lotus Porter, society editor, slid over to the local news desk and Jeanne Dillard has been dividing her time between so ciety, personals and counter work. 'Out in the mechanical de partment, Ralph Russell, lino com itti w mt aawncc tac. t. at am it a. nr. on. Tvrone Power is oil right. type foreman, and Violet Lewis are working day and night to set the typo required for each day's paper, while Lorne Swcn son, one of the three full-time linotype operators lies in a hos pital bed, minus his appendix. Ross Jacobs, who took over the job of printer in the ad alleys when Louis Gau went to the hospital in Eugene recently for a major operation, also is a linotype operator, and has not only been making up the ads but has set a good deal of type for both news and advertise ments. Walt Frcdrlckson, press man, stereotypcr and engraver, and Ellen Crabtroe, makeup, give much aid in various me chanical operations outside their own duties. Edwin Knapp, business man ager, and his corps of workers In the business office Olive lies, Marge Miles, Clarethcl Roselund and Orvllle French have let a lot ot first-of-thc-month business accumulate, while they pitched in to help alleviate the troubles resulting from curtailed working force. The proofreader, Elizabeth Campbell, doubles in waiting on trade at the counter. Dick Bush, Job shop pressman, rolls bundles lo help Harold Hincy, mailer. A newspaper is a closely geared organization. Every em ploye has a definite and special ized job. When all are in their places everything moves smoothly, each performing his task in an orderly and efficient way. But when one is absent it is like a missing spark plug, causing the engine to limp even though it keeps running. We explained some of our manpower problems a few days ago and made a request for co operation from advertisers. We want to thank our advertising clients for their wonderfully fine response. We asked that copy be furnished by 10 a. m. on the day preceding publica tion. Not only has this request been fully observed, but some regular advertisers are bring ing in copy three or four days ahead of publication. The News -Review manage ment is mighty proud of its crew they're swell people. Working long, exhausting hours is no pleasure. It takes real loy alty to stick when the going is so tough. We also appreciate, more than we can tell, the cooperation given by our advertisers. It has been a mighty big help. But we are serving fair warn ing, here and now, that the next reader who stops us with a su percilious sneer to point out a typographical error is going to get bopped right on the beezer, if, we can muster strength enough to lift a tired fist.

Tho tcrribla doviistutlon wrought by British royul nir force bombers during tho past few nights in ancient Milan, richest industrial city of Italy and next to Romo tho largest metropolis of tho country, may well pi-tuiigc its destruction, it indeed it hasn't alroady been virtually lovolcd. That statement may como as a pergonal shock to n lot of Americans who, like tho writer, knuw Milan well and luivo loved tho old place, especially tho flno cathedral which for mure than five centuries kept its doors open to wayfarers from many lands. Grtat Center Milan not only Is the center of great war Industries, but it lies north ot tho river To, which runs across northern Italy (rum west to east and provides tho strategic line of fortifications which tho Germans have man ned as a defense against any nl lied advance from tho south. Thus this city, and other un happy places like nelithborlng Turin, will remain In German- held territory and bo subject to continual bombardment even if ' the rest of Italy surrenders. j Dispatches from Switzerland say that thousands of Milan s Inhabitants havo been parading tho ruined streets and demand- Inff It lh.U .....PA .....11 south ot the Po, such demon strations might get them what they ask, provided other peace minded cities joined In. But as things now stand, the huns are likely to sacrifice all northern Italy In order to delay the surgo ot the allies towards victory. Similar Fit Whether the rest of Italy must suffer a similar fate depends on old Marshal Badoglio's govern ment, which thus far has chosen to play the boche game. Ho has been warned by British Premier Churchill that "Italy will be scared and scarred and blacken ed from one end to the other," unless he surrenders. . . Thus far tho only thing Badogllo has done to try to suve his country has been his unsup ported declaration that Rome is an "open city," a statement which his government has the grace to admit can't be expected to save the eternal city unless it's substantiated by proof. Pend ing the production ot such proof, to the complete satisfaction of the allies, the bomburdmcnt of Rome will have to proceed If the exigencies of war demand it. The capital not only is the , strategic railway center of all Italy, but it Is filled with war industries, not to mention the government and military head quarters. Two Chances There are two chances, so it seems to me, that the portion ot Italy south of the Po moy short- ly find surcease from the pun isnment of war. One is that the peace demon strations ot the people may swell into such proportions that the government will be compelled !ii"?!!re'Jilcr 10 th" "llles "nd tell the Germans to go hang. The other Is the possibility that now the Germans have with drawn as many of their equip ment as they can from Sicily, Hitler may rclcaso Badogllo from further nazl bondage and let him save what he can by surrender.
