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.

C.N.
4441,
No. 44416 is a Great
Northern war worker.
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 .
