As is customary every fire season, there have been a few fires whose origin was not fully determined. But foresters have been exceptionally alert in the matter of fire origin, in view of the balloon threat, and so far they haven't been able to mark up a single blaze' to the credit (or blame) of the Japs. CheaDlv built as they are, EPLEY the Nips must have spent a great deal on the balloon campaign. The results of that effort have been negligible, with the exception of a single great personal- tragedy in the Klamath country. So far, at least, the Japs will have to write the balloon campaign off as a wild Idea that didn't accomplish much. .. a a We Burn 'Em INCIDENTALLY, there have been several man caused fires in this area. In one day, three such fires were reported in the Klamath Indian reservation, and motor ists and campers were given another severe warning. . It appears we are doing a better job of burn ing up the country than are the Japs. a a a e Briefs From The Pocket File EVIDENCES of the new movement of men to the Marine Barracks can be expected -in the next couple of weeks .

News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, August 2 Some of my . socialist readers question my conclusion that free, democratic capitalism adds a great volume of business to the national economy, perhaps 50 per cent, accounting for the much higher wage scale and better working condi tions in this country over any other nation in the world, and my resulting contention that socialism of the Russian, nazi or proposed Brit ish kind impedes this great volume of "created business"- and therefore must bring less pro duction, less national income and static or nega tive economic results. They cannot have thought the matter out thoroughly. I can illustrate: Take a popular American drink, the Ameri can soft drink. It is a simple example of a created business, where little or none would have existed under socialism, and its history is multiplied by the thousands of other products which are in daily use in our vast mass mar kets, solely because appetites of consumers were stimulated by advertising and incentive business selling methods, prompted by individ ual desire for profit. No other system yet conceived by man furnishes such economic stimulus in creating business. The story of how a small Georgia soft-drink ' man, literally built- his five cent product up into an international business involving hun dreds of millions of dollars, is familiar. - But I am not Interested in the romantic side .of it.. The economic .point which must be apparent to all, is that this business was wholly created, . and furnishes employment and wages to a vast number of people, profit to them all along the r: line from maker to drug store. ; Such businesses do not exist in Russia or ' Britain, or in fact, any other nation. a . Automobiles IF you think I have selected a particularly biased example for a partisan purpose, con sider automobiles, our largest industry. Today Goldsmith Discusses Medical Plan Here Dr. Leon Goldsmith, director of the division of medical care in the state ' public welfare com mission, was in Klamath Falls T"ewaj Tuesday to meet with' the mem bers of the local public welfare commission and local doctors. Dr. Goldsmith is . from Port land. During his visit here, he cnnfprrpH with th and doctors about a medical plan for this community. A GEM of THOUGHT Says a little boy named Blora, the three little pigs ain't at home any more. They got fed up at their house L'Cauie their Pop, the big louse, . Turned out to be such a Bore. Stock Remedies , From Doc and Idella's Drug Store Phone 8466 Thursday, August 2, 1949 we look on the auto as a necessity. It is not a necessity in Russia, Britain or any other place. It has become a necessity to us only because business initiative built it into a necessity. Good roads, competition between manufacturers, improved high speed engines, brakes, tires at declining prices in mass production, and many other factors combined to bring tha automobile up to its present economic position, all because of one factor and one only the chance for private profit. The automobile Industry would not be furnishing the jobs, wages and profits it does today all along the economic line from iron miner to used car salesman except under profit incentive system. It is a created busi ness, created solely by desire for profit. Elim inate this incentive and power and fewer cars will be sold, roads would run down, car im provements decline, prices would increase as mass production declined, therefore also wages, jobs and working conditions would correspond ingly deteriorate. The socialist who greedily wishes to capture the profits ot this industry for distribution to the worker must see, if he stops to think, that there must be much less profits to distribute in socialism and the benefit to the worker is more than lost by the elim ination of the factor of "created business." Take any product from toothpaste to air planes and think honestly through its .history, . developments and its economic contribution to our national income. . But the socialists say, there would be no unemployment under this system. They mean that the state would promise to employ every one. True enough at the expense of the work er. Sharing Less Work AS advertising stops, as management passes into political hands, as business is no longer created, production - also -declines, ef ficiency falls and therefore there must be less money to be distributed among the workers but there will be more workers because the government promises to employ everyone. More workers then will get less of a share in less business that is all socialism would mean. It is purely a share-the-work arrangement shar ing of less work. This unemployment angle was never an economic capitalistic gravity commensurate with the political attention directed to it. At the depth of our worst depression our free spending labor government counted 9,000,000 unemployed, and directed the whole economy . of the nation to that segment, emblazoning the problem on the front pages daily, but never mentioning that there were 43,000,000 then employed five times as many people working, paying taxes, contributing to the support of the unemployed,, without a government thought wasted in their interest. There have always been 3,000,000 unemployed in the most active American business periods men between jobs, the lame, sick, faltering and those not apt or inclined to apply themselves, many deserv ing, many not. That a whole national economy, a whole political system, should be turned over and destroyed to give them jobs that the Interests of 3,000,000 people should prevail above 130, 000,000 is absurd. Not even socialistically despotic Russia dis tributes her jobs on the basis of "need" xany more. She has come to think in terms of efficiency, ability, effort and productivity. A nation cannot operate well otherwise. The - socialists are thinking -in terms of old fash ioned New Dealism, which never encouraged sound economics. Now Britain proposes through her labor gov ernment to use - the people's money to buy publie utilities and other industries, which al ready are controlled in the people's interest as to rates, prices, charges, finances, etc. Why buy what you already control? The War Today By DeWITT MaeKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst PROF. HAROLD LASKI, intellectual socialist who is chairman of the British labor party's national executive committee, has strong statement qf govern- P mental policy which gives one to wonder whether he him self doesn't represent an anomalous figure in the new political set-up. . Custom in the past has left such pronouncements to the prime minister, as leader of the party and very definitely skipper of the ship of state. Of course, the broad govern mental policies naturally spring from ' the party, but DeWm Mackenzie, the prime minister has had the last word and generally has acted as hi own spokesman in matters of moment. . ' a Laski's Power IT; therefore sounds strange to hear the law coming from Prof. Laskl who isn't even a member of parliament, although he is one of the strong personalities of the socialist party and is head of its policy making body. To -be sure, Prime Minister Attlee is attending the Big Three conference at Potsdam but a discussion of policy could have awaited his return' to London. . . ' . Now this column Isn't trying' to convey the Impression that Laskl is the power behind the new prime ministership, although some observ ers take that view. Laskl belongs to the left wing of the socialist party, and there are many of the Iaborites who are far to the right of him and don't agree with all his views. Still it's an interesting deviation to see the professor at the outset of the new regime acting as spokes- - issued a OAirut .' ONION SAIT LgJ cmnr ait feS lAVOI SAIT Masqnino V.

His Impressions PROF. LASKI'S text was that "this is the arrival ot the people in power." In this con nection one notes that he de veloped one of the cardinal tenets of his creed from ob servations which he made in the United States while lectur ing at various universities. The reference book "Current Bio graphy" quotes him as saying after his return to England in 1920 that in America he had seen ''more nakedly than I had seen in Europe, the significance of the struggle between capital and labor. I learned how little meaning there can be in an abstract political liberty which is subdued to the control of an economic plutocracy. I came back from America convinced that liotrty has no meaning save in the context of equality, and I had begun to understand that equality also has no mean ing unless the instruments of production are socially owned."
