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.

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
