Aeeoclated Preaa Member Audit ' Bureau Ctrculallon Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY JUST the end of a battle, with more to go. That was our feeling about the forthcom ing victory in Europe after we heard Major General Julian C. Smith in a straight-fronvthe-shouldcr talk about the bitter Pacific strug gle yesterday. He made it clear that the military leadership of the allies must consider European victory just the end of one phase of global war. Inasmuch as military success requires a striving, determined home front, it follows that we civil ians, too, must look upon the situation in the same light. EPLEY A let-down after European victory would be breaking faith with the men who are carrying the hard-fought war in the Pacific to the strongholds of our Japanese enemy, and at the same time it would be bestowing a great favor upon the Japanese. V-E celebrations would best take the form of a dedication of all our efforts to cleaning up Japan at the earliest possible moment e e e Channeled Enthusiasm IT is possible that there may not be any one day that marks the clear-cut finish of the European war. American military leadership is looking to an imposed surrender of the Germans brought about' by a junction of the allies in the west and the Russians moving in from the east. However it comes, in one great moment or piecemeal, European victory is bound to gen erate vast enthusiasm in the United States. We do not suggest that it be suppressed, even if that were possible. But we do think it will be well if we keep our heads and train our thoughts and our determination on the final goal. A civilian orgy over European victory would be in poor taste and incompatible with our war objectives. ; Sunshine Friend ARGENTINA'S tardy declaration of a state of war against the axis gets a reaction in this country that is more cynical than en thusiastic - Although the situation is not analagous, it is reminiscent of Italy's declaration of war against the allies after Germany had virtually con quered France. There is no one who supposes that Argentina would have joined our side this week had the war been going the other way. ., U. S. Court Coming IT Is to be hoped that the forthcoming session of the U. S. district court here, called for trial of a number of Marine Barracks land condemnation cases, will, be the precedent for other sessions of federal court at Klamath Falls. For a long time, ail such sessions in south ern, Oregon have been held at Medford. Many of these have involved Klamath cases, neces sitating wasteful trips over the mountains for principals, witnesses, attorneys and others. Congressman Lowell Stockman, shortly after his election for the first time, undertook to bring about a change in this situation, and took the matter up with Judge Fee, who will preside at the sessions to be held here soon. His efforts are bearing fruit. e e e There were many interesting sidelights to the local circulation of a false rumor yesterday that the Germans had surrendered. Amusing was the dilemma of those folks who hadn't heard the rumor but were informed later it wasn't vi 7 a u? Wltn inquiries that ran happen?" mann, the American writer, for equally appar ent diplomatic purposes. The Vatican had been labeled "pro-fascist" and Lippman practically a pro-German, in which 1 thought was an effort to turn the American public against our own best demo cratic interests, and in promotion of Russian interests and communism. I also mentioned a third item of recent American-type propaganda showing that an obscure American newspaper syndicate had pic tured the Russian constitution as having been inspired by Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. The editorial was quite cleverly done. It ran only three paragraphs. The first paragraph was a truthful assertion that the Russians are great fighters who should be greatly respected by all Americans. The second said the Russian government and system was pretty good, too, and, in the third para graph came the real propaganda pay-dirt the flat assertions that the ideals of our con stitution were the same as the Russian con stitution. The truth, of course, is Karl Marx inspired the soviet constitution, and he is about as far from Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln as it is possible to get SIDE GLANCES Contrary Philosophy AASH1NGTON, Jefferson, VY and Lincoln founded and evolved a democratic cap italistic system, and Mane developed the con trary and opposite philosophy to abolish both capitalism and democracy, and promote the communist and socialist systems of government. But the truth shows an even greater disparity. Russia has a constitution which says many things which might sound to someone born yesterday as somewhat like ours. It provides a president and two houses of congress, and free and secret elections, for instance. But the president is a nonentity, and so are both houses of congress, and the elections, when and if held, turn out a 96.5 per cent for the communist party. The election result could not be otherwise, because there is a law against any other party "than the communists existing in Russia. A comparable system here would allow only the democratic' party legal status and abolish all other parties with a strong man. The existence of a president and two houses of congress mean just as little democratic freedom for individuals in Russia as the electoral system, because as everyone can see the country is run by Stalin as dictator. His constitutional standing is only that of deputy to the supreme soviet (congress). Actual ly, he is the supreme leader of the only political party allowed by law. Much was made here a year or so back about the freedom of religious worship guar anteed in the soviet constitution. Someone wrote that it was even better than ours because it guaranteed freedom to be against religion. The truth is Stalin turns the government atti tude toward religion on and off, as the Greek Orthodox church complies or fails to comply with his changing purposes. Marx considered all religions to be the "opium of the people" deadening their minds to "the class struggle," and this is basic doctrine. e e The Church In Russia , YOU cannot find out much about how the Greek church stands from time to time in Russia, because, unlike this country, all such news is censored there completely. My understanding is that the communists run the church mainly through the device of taxation, laying heavy, hidden, adjustable rates. But we know Moscow has announced figures claiming there were 8000 church, mosques and synagogues in the country in 1941 as compared with 9000 newspapers in that not especially literate country, and 144,000 portable libraries. That is hardly like Brooklyn. At any rate, the constitutional guarantee means a fluctuating nothing, or something, as Stalin decides. Here then is a contrast of the propaganda developing in the new world we are entering: the soviet press directed by the government to attack the pope after he advocated demo cratic freedom for the individual, the basic Christian concept, and Mr. Lippmann because he did not wish to deliver Germany into a Russian sphere of influence; and our own con trasting tendency, exhibited in the case of this extreme American editorial, to try to glamorize Russia as a democracy bent on perpetuating the Washington-Jefferson-Lincoln ideals. We will be taken in if we keep on these lines. We will deceive our people and our selves into embracing first thoughts and then policies which few of our people want, or would take under proper labels. What should we do about it? Prnhahiv like this: "What's this I've missed that didn't great many tnings to ofset- destroy the effects hannen?" of. and answer Hnrnnfivo and imin,ii.r..i ganda of all kinds and to develop a constant truth. r - nr. think we should follow the line of immoderate counter - propaganda and attack WW. 1MI IV lit If IWt.
