Today's Roundup
Ey MALCOLM EPLEY
fj EMINISCENT of the false armistice of No-
vernier 7. 1918. was the wild flurry of
rumors that hit our town this morning c.'ior
in erroneous broadcast quoting Eisenhower as
laying tie Germans htd quit.
A juick correct: an was , ,
mate tooay. but a lot of peo- j v'.. ..
pie got a thrill thst almost r I i i
suited a celebration. J -V; 1

of 3jj?gbi
herclri ior Xovi:.itsr, 1918
We UrceJ to ."ovei'ser -7,
"Nation Viild Over Coming
Peace." was the headline
the Herald that day. The
norv V2s obviously written
by some o.e wuo wasn't qu.te EPLEV
sure tee ana-stice had cn signed, but was
influenced by the local jollification that hed
started on the basis of an erroneous repo.t
by : - caited Press.
He said the rumor was "ptemaf.re to some
extent," ana that there was "no oicitl sub
stantiation of the rumor." The he-iid was an
Associated Press paper, and the cautious old
AP hadn't reported the armistice that people
were beginning to celebrate.
Next day, November 8, the Herald headline
read: "Hun Plea for Quarter Beiore Foch."
There was a story on Page 1 that day stating
that the celebration of peace "is too previous."
"It was generally realized here that the
armistice had not been signed but the people
celebrated the event which was hourly ex
pected,'' said the Herald. Local folks started
bonfires that they kept going even after they
learned they had been misled by false reports.
On November 10, the banner line read:
"Kaiser Abdicates." "
On November 11, five-inch type announced:
"WAR IS OVER."
Said the Herald writer, now sure of himself:
"The greatest conflict in history has come to
an end. and autocracy with its despotism and
oppression are to be banished from the face
of the earth.
"The German war lords, who were not con
tented to grind down those within their own
realm, but thirsted to put the whole globe
underneath their bonds of slavery, have been
throned so thoroughly that they nave lost the
support of their own vassals, and are now
fugitives skeltering in every direction.
"Right has at last prevailed over might,"
Houses and Sewers
rE next housing project to be built here for
navy personnel, on a site adjoining that on
lAashourn way where 80 units are now nearing
completion, will cost the government more than
baK a million dollars.
It will include 153 units, some of them to be
built in two stories. They will be for navy
and marine families, only. (
Klamath Falls will probably get a valuable
sewer development out of this project. Applica
tion has been made for a trunk line sewer and
pumping plant to serve the project, which will
be a part of the Klamath sanitary sewer sys
tem. This will cost more than $100,000, and
will facilitate development of sanitary sewers
for that section of the city and suburbs which
may later come into the city limits.
We've recently seen several letters, to the
editor and otherwise, In which local people
take pokes at other local people. It looks as
if local hot-beads are about to pick up the
clubs they dropped on December 7, 1041, and
start beating each other again.
Spring is here, all right. Last night the
first spooners were driving around on the
tops of the hills east of town.
C. C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter
who was on hand throughout the legislative
session, agrees with us that there are too many
women in the way on the floors of the two
houses. Legislators seeking to confer with
each other had to crawl over women's legs or
tall: across their laps, he said.

..t are the fact;? .ej t..e tL-t thmg th.t
w.a ste yoor ee w.icut re-earch or special
Luormauon is Uiat Russia wants to make
Italy "a democracy" like Russia.
Lo we? Gr do our people want to make
Italy a democracy like us, without a dictator,
wl. tout a one-patty totalitarian system?
Well, what has the pope done a'out that?
He issued a Christmas message in firm pene
trating language that the Issue everywhere lies
between those authoritarians who look upon
people as "the masses," to be led, and those
who believe in the people as individuals, with
individual human souls.
He was plainly hitting at fascism and com
munism. Both are dictatorships which t;-o;-t
the people as masses to be governed, without
individual rights, but only with mass-r.ghts,
under a singleheaded dictatorship telling them
what to do.
The Individual right of the people to tell the
government what to do in their Interests is
what we believe in. It is the fundamental
foundation of democracy, any kind of democ
racy. The pope then has clearly taken the
democratic side.
But this is a protectant country, at least, the
large majority of its people are not Catholics.
They might read the Russian attack on the
Vatican and may not have read that the Vatican
has been championing the democratic side.
They can be easily misled.
Fertile Field
IT seems to me the smart soviet propagandists
have discovered the fertility of the religious
field in this country for their political stratc
gems, in their political dealings with the
Vatican. Our people do not understand that if
Stalin reached an accord with the Vatican,
the "war and the working class" would be
singing the pope's praises tomorrow, with no
more factual ground for that than for its cur
rent criticism. ,
The Lippman case is In every way similar.
Mr. Lippman issued a denial, just as the
Vatican did in its case. He said that if Pravda
had read and understood his book, it would
know he was against Cordon sanitaires and that
he proposed to do away with them. There was
no more truth in this accusation than that the
Vatican was pro-fascist.
But both the attacks and denials had to be
carried in our press under our free democratic
system, to let the people make their choice,
although not in Russia. How were our people
to know who was telling the truth?
To anyone who knows Lippman or his writ
ings, the implication that he was "worried
about the Germans" after the war was absurd.
But how about the great majority which does
not know? How are we to deal with such
matters in the brave new world?
I will attempt to pursue the American propa
ganda position in an analysis of the third case
the portrayal of the Russian constitution as
inspired by Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln
tomorrow.
