Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
EXPANSION of agricultural experimentation
U th current objective of individuals and
group concerned with the future of agricul
ture a a foundation stone in trv,"Ty 1
JQamath basin economy.
They point out that an in
dustry that returns $23,000,000
la a (ingle year to this basin
community deserves the re
search and Investigatory work
that can be done only by a
full branch agricultural experi
ment station.
This is especially true when
it Is realized that despite the
rich returns from agricultural
activity in this area, there is EPLEY
till much that can be done to develop the
Industry and to increase the efficiency in land
tttnisation,
To a layman, it may be surprising that
land can change so greatly in productivity as
aloes the land in this area. There is , acreage
that has declined to a status of near worth
lessness, and has then been brought back, by
careful management, to become some of the
most productive land in the valley.
A map of the area, showing the various
classifications of land, looks much like a check
erboard, and the extent of the lower classes of
land Indicates the immense possibilities of im
provement. That is one of the major objec
tives of experimentation, and What has already
been accomplished along that line promises rich
results from sound- research.
What Is, Proposed
NEAR the airport is the Klamath experi
mental area, where E. A. Gross for a num
ber of years has carried on valuable experi
mental work with a small budget and little'
to work with besides his own ingenuity and
determination.' Mr. Gross has accomplished
much, and his efforts likewise indicate the
great potentialities of agricultural experimenta
tion on a larger scale.
What is now proposed by the county's econ
omic planning committee and the land use
committee of the chamber of commerce is an
expanded program 'with its main objective the
improvement of land already within the culti
vated area of the basin.
: It is planned to acquire three pieces of land
for experimental purposes Class 5, Class 1,
and marsh land. -
"The county court has put $10,000 into the
new budget for experimentation, as compared
with the customary $1500, and it is planned to
ask the state college to make a full branch
experiment station out of the present "Klam
ath experimental area." Local contributions
may. be obtained to acquire the additional land
needed for the project. , .
This is a sound program, deserving of public
support and the cooperation of the public
agencies concerned with agricultural experimen
tation in Oregon. ' ' ,
-
OCCASIONALLY, to our desk comes a con
tribution from a reader that eiit- our
special interest because of the feeling that lies
behind what is written. Such a contribution
was the unforgettable anonymous letter to
Tommy Pritchard, Klamath boy lost at the
beginning of the war.
; Another such appears on this page today. It
is poem written on the morning of D-Day
by the mother of a paratrooper in the invasion
theater. It deserves, and receives, a special
place on this page today.
Our favorite newspaper has gotten so military-minded
it listed Mayor Johnny Houston" as
"Major" Houston in yesterday's Page 1 "cut cap
tion. If we are going to make mistakes like
that, we ought at least to call the good mayor
rear admiral or brigadier general.

News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, June 13 The unresolved
conflict between the four freedoms and
radical Ideologies which is apparent behind the
confusing political news from am,
UmaJ i .In. naiMnli.(iati ha.
hind much domestic news and
interpretation.
The leftist journals are cur
rently campaigning for the
Bevcrldge proposed "way of
life" in Britain, with the criti
cal demand that it also be pur
sued here. They think that is
what the four freedoms mean,
assumption by the state of
mnna Mimnlata authority over
the lives of men economteally. MALLOK
fixing their wages, their employment, their se
curity rather than encouraging the Individual
to do it himself on his own initiative. That is
the kind of peace and post-war planning they
want.
But we have campaigned this war through
to a point near victory on the basis of bringing
liberty and democracy for the individual both
here and abroad.. Is their thinking now not as
confused and as far wrong as it was a few
months ago when they were campaigning for a
quart of milk a day and labor-wage standards
to be fixed throughout the world?
What is liberty? What is democracy? What
is freedom of the individual? If we do not
first decide that, how can there be anything but
confusion about post-war planning?
Slavery by Taxation
rme, an individual enslaved to a state econ
omically by taxation or otherwise, is no less
a slave than if controlled politically. In a
dictatorship, his life is no more free than the
conscience and ability of the man who happens
to be running the state at any given time.
If he has a democratic form, he is still no
more free than by whatever degree his presi
dent and congress are free from domination by
minority class groups and interests. In the
religious sense, he is not free if he is dominated
by any class group either. Domination by one
religion or by atheism is equally far from any
democratic ideology.
The radicals sec this, but this part of it only.
How can they expect anyone to believe domin
ation brings economic freedom when they see so
well it does not bring religious freedom. They
could not consider the world politically free If
it was dominated by one "world imperial power,
at least no one else would. Oneness domination
never yet has achieved freedom or liberty or
democracy in any way.
What we would like to .have is complete
freedom for all peoples in all ways, economical
ly, politically, religiously. This always has
. proved too idealistic a goal for the world to
achieve entirely, but by whatever further pro
gress we make in that direction, the peace will
be successful. By whatever measure we com
promise It, the peace will fait.
We were drawn deeper Into what measure
of collectivism we already had before this. war
only to meet failures. The ideal was not
voluntarily espoused as the proper way of life.
It was not what we 'wanted. It was what we
had to take. Entering the war, we assumed
the additional collectivism only for war.
Of course in that direction should be pursued
in the post-war peace only to whatever extent
it will bring true justice to the individual. The
star of individual freedom should never be
eclipsed one inch by collectivism as our idea.
Democratic Cooperation
OUR success in this war was not due to
collectivism but to voluntary democratic
cooperation by all hands. To whatever extent
labor sacrificed its rights to strike, it expects to
get that right back, and so with all of us.
Internationally we did not win by collectivism
either, but by truly democratio cooperation. One
nation did not dominate the military decisions
of how to proceed with the fighting. This demo
cratic way is working well against a nation
which practiced collectivism and preached sub
servience of the individual to the state.
These are rudiments of simple common sense
for peace. If we wish to dispel confusion and
plan our way, we must first define our words
and understand our goals. We must decide
that, internationally or domestically, the star of
real liberty must be maintained as indispens
able. We must abhor collectivism as an Ideal, and
compromise with it reluctantly and temporarily
only to the extent truly necessary to bring
justice to the individual.
We must abhor oneness domination, totalitar
ianism, dictatorship, and remember always that
an individual - enslaved to the state by any
means whatever will have no more liberty and
' democracy than the fluctuating goodness and
justice of that controlling force.
. Men do not take well that kind of power
either as heads of worlds or any of the subdi
visions of society including nations, states,
counties, cities, or even labor unions.
Jap Broadcast Mentions
Fori Klamath Soldier
: FORT KLAMATH On May
16, Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Orth
received a telegram from the war
- department at Washington D. C,
advising them to pay no atten
tion to a JaDanese short wave
broadcast in which the name of
their son. Pvt. James H. Orth,
was mentioned, and stated that
the army was investigating and
would advise them further.
, Pvt. Orth has been a prisoner
of the Japanese since the fall of
Corregidor in , the Philippines
two years ago, and is now in
Manchukuo, in Japanese-occupied
China, having been trans
ferred there from the Philippines
some time ago. In these two
years, the only communication
received directly from their son 1
Vl V TvTr DtlH Mp. firth an, n
written postcard signed by him,
aiuiougn iney wnie to nun regu
larly each veek.
Upon receiving the cryptic
wire irom me war department,
the Orths were considerably
worried, imagining any number
of things happening to their son
which could have caused men
tion of his name in a Japanese
broadcast. Their relief was great
the next day when they received
the following telegram:
Washington D. C.
Mav 17. iDdd
Mrs. Edna Orth,
Box 250, Fort Klamath, Ore.
Following short-wave broad
cast from Japan has been inter
cepted, quote "Dear Mother
p-A Gem of Thought From Idella's 1
A ship welder's husband named Gray
; Met his wife at the dock each pay day
" He said. "If I don't meet her, you see,
; She sneaks away from me,
And In beauty parlors squanders her psy."

and Dad: I am glad to get the
chance to write this letter. I am
all right and hope you are the
same. ', Tell everyone hello, and
I wish I was there with you.
Maybe I will be some day. How
are the kids around town? Be
sure to tell them hello. Does Don
nie Gray ever write home. I am
well so don't worry. With Love,
Your son, James Henry Orth."
Evidence of the authenticity of
the letter which was read over
the Japanese broadcast is proved
by mention of Donnie Gray, who
enlisted in the marine, corps
about the same time Orth enter
ed the U. S. army, PFC Gray is
now in California, and is a veter
an of the Guadalcanal campaign
where he saw active service with
the marine corps. He was re
cently home on furlough. 1
By a coincidence, the second
wire from the war department,
arriving on May 17, came on the
21st birthday anniversary of Pvt.
Orth, which also marked the
birthday of his mother, Mrs.
Edna Orth.

June 6th, My Prayer
Today my son hos gone into battle,
In the invasion of France!
My heart beats like a machine gun's rattle,
Cod! Give him a fighting chance.
He is strong, brave, and well-trained, true,
He's young ond eager to go.
But I know, dear Lord, he's depending on you,
To guide his hand, tell him what to do.
Keep his mind both clear and strong,
His zeal forevor bright.
In his heart, Lord, keep this song:
' "This world must be made right."
Right for daughters, right for sons,
For all Humanity!
For these our soldiers carry guns
And fight our enemy.
A murderous, monstrous enemy.
One versed In wicked ways;
Our boys wont peace eternally.
Our homes need restful days.
So now, dear Lord, a mother asks
.Protection' for her sons.
And for sons of other mothers, too,
Help them 'in this tosk.
. And Father, we at home will do
The things' you'd hove us do,
And all the praise ond glory shall
Be rendered unto you. .

Editor's Note: These verses were written by Mrs. C. C. Ellis,
Klamath Falls, on the morning of June 6 when she heard of the
invasion of France. Her youngest son is a paratrooper and she
believes he undoubtedly participated in the invasion.'

FROM A SOLDIER
ORLANDO, Fla., (To the Edi
tor) You are wondering just
why I am writing to you, but
could you spare me just a few
moments of your time?
"Thanks." .
I am a soldier stationed at an
air field in "Orlando, Florida"
and I have been in the army for
some time now, and never can
take a furlough because I
haven't any place to go or visit.
I had the privilege before I en
listed in the army, to enjoy a
welcome I shall never forget. I
was in your little city of "Klam
ath Falls" at Christmas time, and
I met so many nice people there.
They all treated me swell, and
you will never know how much
I appreciated their kindness.
I have met another fellow here
in my outfit that is alone also,
and he would love to be able to
visit there with me. I would
like to know if I could come and
visit your town when I get a fur
lough, which is coming up soon?
I would like to know if we could
get a room and visit all the nice
people I met there? I would like
to know If they could be so nice
as to lot a couple of lonely sol
diers enjoy a dream of a furlough
in your city? By the way, the
the fellow that has the skating
rink there sure treated me swell.
I shall never forget his kindness.
I will close now, and send my
best wishes to all the people of
"Klamath"and God bless them.
I remain, sincerely,
Pvt. Robert D. H earn 21,
Pvt. Charles Muskwick 30.
