The Voter goes on to say, however, that t chances of GOP victory in wis state were improved by the J defeat of Wallace. "The anti- Roosevelt democrats were hanftonpH ViV thflt defeat, but ! It rfnnhtfiil whether anv of S?-s J their votes will be turned by it, says the Voter. "The J masses of zealous New Dealers t were discouraged by .it. So J called Roosevelt republicans were on the whole favorable to Wallace and many of them were sorely disappointed by EPLEY the triumph ,of the Hague-Kelley-Flynn-Hanne- gan combination in defeating him." Oregon, with a solid republican 1942-44 con ", gressional delegation, and a republican majority in voter registration, would appear to be a JJ fertile field for republican campaigning this year. . v - e e .a . . J Pail' Elections I ' NREGON has ended up in the Roosevelt J column in the three presidential elections of the last 12 years, but the figures indicate a recent growing trend toward republicanism, emphasized by the complete republican con 's gressional triumphs at the last of the period. J In 1932, the Oregon popular vote was: Roose- velt, democratic, 213,871; Hoover, democratic, 136,019. In 1936, the vote was: Roosevelt, 266,733; J Lf o 125,977. - In 1940, the vote was: Roosevelt, 258,415; ; Wlllkie, 219,555. Oregonians plumped for Roosevelt for a second term, but began cooling off when he I made a third term bid. What they will do on ' a fourth term can be no more than speculation at this stage, but it appears that an able re s' publican campaign could swing the state. - Campaign incidents, developments in the war, - and other factors not predictable, could change J the outlook materially. a . a e The Bosses i THIS column could discover no great enthus- ; lasm for Henry Wallace among democrats o in this district, and is therefore uncertain as to the local effects of Wallace's rejection by the democratic national convention. ' However, in folksy, politically-clean Oregon, . it would seem that the part the political bosses J t distant big cities played in the Truman nomination might prove an unfavorable factor for the democratic ticket. ? In this week's Life, the picture of the week " shows Boss Kelly of Chicago triumphantly . holding up Truman's hand at the convention. The caption recalls that Truman was a protege J of Boss Pendergast, jailed for tax evasion, and f. that Kelly and Pendergast were pals. Now J Kelly glories in the triumph of the protege J of his jailbird friend. , J''-. That Isn't likely to make many democratic votes in a state like Oregon. . - : News Behind the News Z By PAUL MALLON AASHINGTON, Aug. 1The International J TV bank created in the woods at Bretton is misnamed. It is nothing like a bank, -except that it will be a place for foreign nations to get money. It is really a credit guarantee institution. Only one fifth of its pro posed loans for rehabilitation and development will be made directly by it. The other four fifths will be guarantees of loans by private bankers ' As a matter of fact, the negotiators at Bretton did not want to call it a bank, but could think of no other word. MALLON A bank, as you know is a place where people deposit their money, which is taken by the banner ana loanea to Dnng a profit to the institution. Any comparison of that formula to what was set up at Bretton is humorous if not ironical. Certain general standards for the loans were fixed, but these were the easiest possible stand ards naturally. They were not the standards of banks for commercial loans. What these standards are will become fully apparent only as the loans are made and the complex wordings of the agreement are in terpreted by the heads of the institution. Promotional Program BUT the whole Idea is to promote foreign re habilitation and development (not to get the money back) so the standards, you may be sure, were fixed accordingly. What the realistic Russians thought of this is apparent in their actions. They fought for the lowest possible part in the bank, and the best part they could get in the exchange ar rangement. ... ,, Partfcipation in the bank obviously Is a lia bility. But participation in the exchange agree ment will give the Russians more dollars and ' more pounds, and also give them more power in world trade voting, as voting power over the fund is to be based on the extent of mone tary participation. In fact the observers thought the Russians did the best in the dickering. They finally came into the bank at the ratio assigned (high er than they wanted, but not our 'first figure) only after we, agreed to increase our own participation. a a a a British In Background THE British remained pretty much in the background. Lord Keynes (author of easy spending policies) ran the bank end of the con ference, but held only one press conference. Our Harry White ran the monetary exchange end, and appeared as front man for the gather ing. The Latin Americans handled the miscellan eous part and Mexico got in a few licks for silver. The Latins had 19 out of the 40 odd nations on the ground nearly half. Will the exchange- agreement stabilize ex change at the existing level, or at a fair and just level as everyone wishes? It will have trouble. The agreement did not fix rates. We have already fixed some rates for ourselves, the in vasion rate of a 2 cent franc and a 1 cent lire. In the negotiations, each country wanted to keep its rate as high as possible against the dollar and thus China achieved the prospect of a 5 cent yuan. That is a politically friendly rate, not an actual rate. One expert recently out of China said the true internal rate of the yuan runs anywhere from 500 to 1900 to the dollar. The indicated rate of 5 cents in the agreement will be diffi cult to sustain. Even 2 cents, some say, might be difficult. ...'. Rates Not Frozen ACTUALLY under the agreement present rates of exchange are not to be frozen, but will be fixed from time to time in the future under the principles laid down, principles which are more or less geared to existing rates. The defect of the fund is that the contribu tions to it are to be largely in the currencies of foreign nations, the worth of which in the future may depend on anything else but the controls of the international exchange agree ment. Furthermore it prevents countries which might pay us in gold, and have some gold with which to pay, from using it (France, Latin -America, Russia.) The conclusion must be reached, therefore, that this exchange agreement does not itself stabilize exchange, but merely furnishes an $8, 800,000,000 fund, through which it may be done. As for the $9,100,000,000 bank, it will go on the rocks sooner or later.

Oont.lbulloiw lellowlni thise ruin, are wsrmli wl-eomsil INGRATITUDE KLAMATH FALLS, Oic, Tp the Editor) The sheer Iniiintl; tude oi people has prompted mo to write this letter. As you know the county bought a tire truck which lius capucity of. two hundred and fifty gallons of water. This equipment was urliilnally pur chased to protect county prop erty outside the city limits. However tho county court do elded to lot tho people of tho outlying districts who hud no other protection, tho use of this equipment M well as tho men to run it. This service has not been Ibx paid, but Is duo to tho county court's desire to help the people of Klamath county to save their homos In case of (Ire. In tho three years that the county has had this fire truck sevoral thousands of dollars of personal equipment has been saved. When a call conies to tho county shop, men who work there must drop their tools, board tho fire truck and reach the scene of tho fire as soon as four tires can carry thorn. They fight to save tho prop erty, but if tho fire has had a too long of a start, tho only thing to do is to keep it from burning surrounding biiiUlinii. When the men get back their work is waiting right where they left it. Trucks and oilier equipment must be ready to no to work, repairing and building roads, often an hour at n fire means tho lights must burn later at nlfjhl. As one might think this serv ice docs not end when the works are shut down for the night but goes on around tho clock. If a call comes In tho wco hours, a man must get up, wipe the sloop from his eyes, Jump into his trousers, call somcono to help him, drive out the truck I1IW1 Wll It until his holpor ur rives from his homo. All this takes time but Is done Just at soon us is humanly possible. The mon here at tho euunty shop do nut mind doing this, It is just a way to "'i weir ui low man in Umo of trouble, but when people grumblo bo. cause they don't do more that Is n different story. A short time ago a house in St. Francis caught flro, neigh bors called tho county fire do piirtnn'iit which answered the mil. There was no one at home when they arrived, nothing to do, but break down the door, the flro was put out. When the lady of tho house appeared she was very put out because her door had been ruin ed and a hole chnppod In tho roof. Perhaps tho fire crow should have waited until she got home with tho koys. Another lucldont to Irk these men happened only today when I hoy were called to Algomu, which is a long way, especially to a flro. Nevertheless houso and gas station were saved, only to havo tho owner get mad because thuy didn't got there sooner, As I said beforo, these men aro glad to do anything In thoir power to help save homes and equipment mat couidn t bo re placed in war times. It seems to me that these peoplo could say, "thank you," and if they didn't feel llko doing that, at least not grumblo in tho ears of the men who helped them. Yours truly, mrs. lvle Mccormick.
