But it happens there are more Oregon people directly inter ested who will currently ap plaud the mistake than would have applauded the sound de cision. In a situation of that kind, a public official is like ly to make a mistake. ' Furthermore, we feel cer tain that the merits of both EPLEY routes the Eugene-Mcdford-Weed that got the inter-regional nod, and the Eugene-Klamath-Weed -that made the competing bid have been so well emphasized in this discussion that both routes will share in future development. As a matter of fact, both routes are programmed for important development in the highway com mission's immediate post-war schedule. The most enlightened public statements on the question, including expressions from points on both routes as well as elsewhere, have favored high development of both routes. Fair Fight . ADHERENTS of the two sides In this dispute before the commission made a fair and honest fight. There was no hitting below the belt. We advocate no bitterness toward the commission or toward our. friends on Southern Oregon's No. 99, who wouldn't be worth their salt as citizens of their communities if they hadn't battled for their route. There has been a good deal of public mis understanding about the significance of the inter-regional designation. It does not mean any immediate priorities in construction work. It does not mean a vast super-highway. Inter state standards for the inter-regional call for a 4-foot wider road bed and S-foot wider should ers, but there is nothing to prevent- the state highway commission f r om developing both routes to the same standards. ; . rTl-a n inninnl ...... . ! 1 ; 1 T 1 future is mere designation, which gains publicity KeCiprOCOl KigntS lltlcal campaigning. The French communists already are organizing politically to get the government of France from the democrats and socialists, and their appeal to Browdcr to do likewise in the United States, was fully dis played by the communist paper in New York which ordinarily operatej on the Moscow line. Stalin had called off Browder after one of his international meetings with President Roosevelt. I assume he is unleashing Browdcr again now. Mr. Truman has dispatched Russian-Sympathizer Joe Davies to London and Mr. Roose velt's intimate man-Friday, Harry Hopkins, who was on the inside of the Russian appeasement negotiations, to Moscow. A report has been published that Davies warned the British we would not go to war against Russia to save British Interests on the continent. I do not know how true the report is, but probably it represents the feelings of our people. We do not want to go to war with Russia about anything. (We had the same feeling about Hitler when he was rising to power.) We wish to live in peace with her. The question is how. Suspicion Said Cause I TALKED the problem out with an eminent official of this government, now involved in these negotiations, whose name I do' not feel free to use. It was his opinion that the whole cause of the trouble is Russian suspicion of the United States and our suspicion of her. I am unable to believe this. Quite apparently, there is much more than suspicion involved. . In fact, two methods of government, sharply at variance in all their ways and aims, have simply come into a very natural conflict all along the line. Consider the Browder phase. We have no Browders working for us in Russia. We can organize no internal movement against the communist way of life there. The communist party is the only one permitted to exist by specific law. - We have no democratic paper in Moscow, such as the Daily Worker In New York. Here we have a free democratic way of press and politics, while Russia has an exclusive government-press, one-party undemocratic system. These two conflicting ways are bound to run into trouble on every line, but they certainly could live without war if, as my friend says, suspicions were removed. There are many ways in which these could be removed. Stalin could do it with one stroke. He could permanently establish his promised line of abandoning the world revolutionary principles of the Internationale, withdraw his controlled press and politicians from the democ racies, from France and the United States, and run Russia the way he chooses. - ' With such a' step he would dispel the suspic ions of democracies that he is trying to get control of the world. There is another way. It is manifestly un . Just for Russia to be permitted free use of democratic privileges . here while denying the same privileges to us in their country. for one route and tends to channel traffic in that direction. Because Klamath's is the best through route, we have felt the public would be better served by giving it the inter-regional designation. It didn't get it but that doesn't alter the engineering advantages 'that make it still the best through route. That should be enough to give our workers for highway and .traffic development plenty of encouragement to keep up their fine efforts. - Bend And Eugene -IN ALLY, let us direct the attention of Klam- JR. TRUMAN should develop his foreign policy to grant our rights only to those who reciprocate, and grant us the same rights. If Stalin is going to run political candidates for office in the United States, France, China and elsewhere, suspicion can be removed if he opens Russia and allows us to run candi dates there against him. If he is going to keep his controlled press active here, there and everywhere, a simple sense of justice should allow us to establish a Moscow edition of our newspapers. That would make it even. That would eliminate suspicions. r., , - as ine communists nave inmtratea into our K-iJflVh w H . pp?? eiven the Eugene- labor unions, we should be allowed to enter theirs. Culturally, economically and politically she has isolated herself, while infiltrating into everything in the world. Her skies and land are closed to travelers. Her mind is closed to outside ideas. This policy cannot do anything except generate distrust abroad, and only Stalin can do anything effective about it. Neither one-sided justice nor appeasement will endure. They must open up to us, or we must close one-sided advantages to them. In either event we will have established a mutually just basis of living without war. We tried appeasement with Hitler. It did not bring us peace. We can expect peace only if we establish sound grounds for it. We must eliminate suspicions and establish an even sense of firm justice in our foreign policy, which can be defended and maintained permanently. We cannot be either weak or warlike. We must be sound, just and firm. My official friend and I agreed no formula could be written which could guarantee peace Klamath-Weed route by the people at Bend. aena is not on this route, directly, but the folks up there came through with excellent assistance which, must not be forgotten when we have a chance' to plug for Bend and to work cooperatively in behalf of enterprises of mutual interest. ; Eugene remained neutral in the contest for the designation.- It is on the junction of both routes and that position appears logical. But Eugene spoke out strongly for developing both routes, and it should wield a powerful influ ence in that direction. . , Highway Commissioner Arthur Schaupp made an open, honest effort for the Klamath route.' He came out frankly for what he believed sincerely to be right. When the final, decision was made, he made his convictions and posi tion clear, and then changed his vote for the sake of unanimity and good feeling.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Pane One) of desperation. It is obviously based on the belief of their lead ers that there are plenty more Japs where the suicide victims come from. - (VN the other side of the world, there is annoying and in a way disillusioning news from Syria. It is disillusioning because the French seem to be seizing this moment of international stress and strain to GET THEIRS. THE trouble started Tuesday night, when SYRIAN CON SCRIPTS bolted away from French military units, which FIRED INTO the Syrian crowds that welcomed the fugitives. It spread all through yester day. Damascus was bombed by the French, with pretty heavy loss of life (accounts of the num ber killed and wounded vary). The British step in this morn ing and tell the French to order their troops Immediately to cease firing and withdraw to their bar racks to AVOID A COLLISION between British and French forces. (That is to say:- "Stop shooting, or WE'LL SHOOT TOO.") The result of the British ulti matum isn't apparent as this is written, but it has all the ear marks of international dynamite. . a THE trouble Is that the Levant states (of which Syria is one) are STRATEGIC GROUND. They command communications through the Suez canal. There is OIL all around. They are the tra ditional material of which inter national complications are made. They were mandated to the French after the last war. The French obviously want to hang onto them now as a part of the empire they are seeking to re build. TT is clear that the British mean business. With a red hot political cam paign on, in which he'd like nothing better than to catch Churchill's conservative govern ment in a bear trap, Atlee, lead er of the Labor party, tells the house of commons this morning (in regard to the Syrian ruckus) that "everyone joins in deplor ing bloodshed between our al lies, but under the circumstances we had no option in our respon sibility to-restore order."

It bogins to look that way. . . 1 am not such a strong repub lican that I cannot see uny good In b democrat. Harrv is not Uolntf to follow entirely In Roosevolt's steps as was supposed. Ho seoins to want to let congress run the legisla tive function. One congressman usked him about a cerium legis lation. Truman said that is up to congress. Ho said ho was busy with his own Job; if neces sary ho could vcio a wrong icgia lation. Truman has appointed some men for high positions, obscure individuals. Well, for that mat ter, there ore many men who are not nationally known who could fill Important places. I could pick men out of Klumath Falls who have ability. The chamber of commerce hero has several. In fsct, Klumath Falls has men who have put the city on the map. The best littlo city in Oregon. Truman did not consult the CIO or AFL in his appointment for secretary of labor. Truman was not tied to tho apron strings of Frances Perkins as Congress men John Taber of New York said of Roosevelt. As the col- umnnlst Paul Mallon said, Tru man seems to have a mind of his own; needs few advisers; even Invited Scnotor Wheeler, (an anti-Roosevelt man) in for consultation. In the democratic nominating convention, It seems there were a few, (may be many) who knew Franklin Roosevelt would not last out. Lots of us thought that. They wanted to put in a man as vice president who was of strong character, so nominated Harry Truman. I am beginning to think he will fill the bill with good sense and Judgment. He may forget the new deal but mav give us a square deal, which Is what we want, what wo want is fairness to labor, capital and business. Roosevelt mavbo meant all right, but that means littlo some times. An old man or a sick man has no business taking a high position. I was offered a fairly nign position, wnicn I reinsert for two reasons. I am too old. 75, and have reached the time where I want to get a vacation and play more. I was sorry to see Roosevelt pass, but everyone gets that soonor or later. The country will go forward Just the same. DR. W. P. TABER, 4000 Shasta way. JAPANESE SHOPPING QUESTION MALIiN, Ore. (To the Editor) In your May 25 issue of The Herald and News I read an Item headed "Director Exploins Japoncso Shopping." This item states that the retail trade com mittee of the chamber of com merce decided to determine by letter, those merchants not de siring certain Jnpnnoso trade. This information to be passed on to tho WRA center. I think there may be many of us who would like to have this information made public so that we may know how demo cratic these merchants are who do not desire this trade. These are the Japanese who have been fully investigated and found to be loyal citizens of the United States. Also they are from that group of Japanese who have thousands of sons that have served with distinction In our armed forces and gave their lives that this same democratic government may bo preserved. If this trade is not desired, why not openly so state and thereby probably avoid other "embarrassing situations." Sincerely yours, F. E. GORDON.
