Feb. 18. 1S FRANK JINKIN1 Editor MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor EPLEY Today's Roundup r By MALCOLM EPLEY WE haven't any specific information, but it's pretty safe to assume that there are men who trained at the Klamath naval air sta ll tion In Admiral Mitscher's huge carrier forces t which crave the Jananese .-::.: For more than a year, the J Klamath station has been tunc- ft i iiomng as an important cog in the fleet air training program readying men for exactly the , sort of work that was done so . effectively over Nippon last j week. J Members of squadrons which polished off their training in J Klamath and Lake county skies last year have since gone J to sea to fight from carriers, in planes of the . same types which are flown from the installa j tion here. i Klamath people, therefore, have a very spe J cial reason for gratification over the glorious exploits of our Pacific carrier forces. I For a period early in the war, there was con- siderable fretting hereabouts over the fact that J we had a fine aviation installation that ought to , be playing a more important part in the air war. I Then came the navy men, who looked at our field and found it good, and laid out the huge I gunnery ranges in Klamath and Lake counties. Before construction of facilities had gone far, I navy planes were leaving the runways of the Klamath field on training missions, and the pro J gram has been carried on intensively since then, i It is training such as is given here that is row paying off in the Pacific. We can be glad , the navy has done a job here, we can take satisfaction out of whatever local cooperation J that has been given, and we can pledge our- selves to continue helping out, in every way available to us as a community and as in " dividuals, until the war is won. : Merrill, Tulelake, Henley IN the past fortnight we visited three nearoy communities for local organization meetings. I The Merrill Service club, the Tulelake Rotary club, and the Henley grange were the groups J whose meetings we attended, and we found the experience interesting and stimulating. J The Merrill Service club has been functioning for several years and has many important com J munity accomplishments to its credit. It is not a large organization, but its membership is alert 8 Tend active. Its meetings are now held in the J annex of the Merrill Presbyterian church. Tulelake Rotary club, a favorite spot for "make-ups" by Klamath Falls Rotarians, is one k of the basin's most active semi-public groups. Its J weekly sessions are marked by good fellowship r and constructive programs. It also meets in the J dining room of a church. Henley grangers jammed their grange hall J Saturday evening for a dinner and program. Like a number of other granges, the Henley people have made excellent use of what was J formerly a schoolhouse; and" numerous meetings are held there in the interest of the community. Saturday night's dinner chicken, potatoes, ice cream and the trimmin's was exactly what one J would expect from the capable' women of the Henley farms. These three communities are basically agri- cultural. Their prosperity, which is much in evi- dence, comes directly from the soil and the I water that goes on it. They are well aware a of the vital importance of protecting the coun J ty's agricultural resources, and their interests are basin-wide in scope. We mention these three because of recent contacts. They are a part of t a whole family of fine communities in the Klamath basin. i News Behind the News l By PAUL MALLON CHARLESTON, S. C, Feb. 19 The war cities down this Atlantic seaboard, bulging at their seams, are worried and confused about k their post-war prospects (as every collection of people everywhere.) r Food is good, money plentiful. Rationing has ' teen less painful than in Washington and New York. The people have gotten through the war better. But just abo.t half of the authorities are ap prehensively anticipating depression and un employment, while singular as it sounds the other half expect the opposite result, good post war business, built on great private spending, with the towns holding much of their growth and the people retaining much of their im proved financial position. This divergence of opinion ties in precisely with a poll of national business management, recently made, showing also that about half the employers are optimistic, half pessimist. The pessimist side, "as I find it, is based upon logical reasoning running like this: People have money in banks and bonds in unprecedented amounts, it is true, but their verv annrehension about the future will keep them from spending it to buy all the things they need. Fear Strengthened THE constantly advertised attitude of the labor union leaders who are trying to pry big postwar spending appropriations out of con gress, has strengthened the already latent fear among the people that a depression must follow a war. Confidence in the future is lacking, money is already becoming wary. This is a new and true condition which has not been noticed before, and it makes more critical the prospects that reconversion of fac tories to peace production will lag. The auto industry (which is the nation's foremost) will take at least six months to change over, they now say. But perhaps the most impressive line of new thought on the subject is that our war produc tion has been so greatly expanded, this nation cannot possibly absorb the products of its own machines. I have heard the contention from a foremost industrial leader that our airplane fac tories in one week can make enough planes for a whole year of our post-war needs. Some means must be found of selling our production abroad, but no foreign nation has much with which to buy or barter and it takes a long time to build up an equalized foreign trade, not founded on credit (which in most instances would amount to giving our goods away at the American taxpayers' expense.) Powerful Analyses THESE are powerful and unquestionably true analyses of the problem ahead. Nevertheless the forecast result can and should be avoided. The divergence of opinion, in the first place, does not represent confusion. These authorities and employers are thinking of their own busi nesses. Their split, therefore, seems to forecast that perhaps half the businesses of the country will suffer unemployment and depression, but that the other half logically can anticipate good business. Then, furthermore,, this much is true: There never has been so much money in the hands of the people and never a time when people needed everything for living. The gov. ernment has control over the release of men from the services, control over business recon version through war contracts, control over every aspect of the economic situation. I cannot bring myself to believe that there could possibly be depression in this country during the 2 H years following peace unless the government makes a bad job of this, too. - Every ingredient for success is present.. Wise ly managed capitalism, working under imagina tive, clear-minded leaders, should certainly make all these ends meet. No Leadership THE trouble today is no one has taken hold to furnish that leadership. The propaganda from Washington has been wrong in disturbing confidence. An inspiring leader there, - who thought he could do the job, could soon correct this condition. f As for the reconversion of men and machines, good business brains certainly could work this out. If men of proven success were put to this task (as Knudsen, Nelson, and all business was put to the war ta.sk at the outset) the technical features of reconversion would justify confi dence. Certainly this is no tougher than the war tark. . The only real cause for pessimism then lies in the fact that Washington has shown 'no signs of furnishing the proper leadership. Politics and personal enmities should be dropped from this business, as they were dropped for war. Mr. . Roosevelt had better send out a hurry call for brains before it is too late.

Two Qualify for Prizes in Drive Two more members who have qualified for prizes in the chamber of commerce member ship drive are Everett Dennis and Dena Backes, who have brought in four members each. Several' others have been suc cessful in bringing members in to the chamber of commerce in this new drive, and should soon be eligible for prizes, accord ing to Charles R. Stark, cham ber secretary. It is hoped that the goal of 300 members will be reached through the efforts of the workers. Portland Traffic Toll Reaches 16 PORTLAND.

Since the sturdy plywood- steel boxcar was built in the railway's shops last April it has carried many loads of military and civilian freight to both coasts and points in between, wfgjjg Great Northern keeps constant tab on No. 44416 thru its Car Records office. Checking movements of the railway's nearly 50,000 freight pars where they are, how many tons they are carrying is an important and exacting responsibility. Efficiency of this service is typical of Great Northern's ability to provide its territory dependable transportation . H. I.--WAYNE, Generd Agent 0. N. Station ,-' .
