of $10,000,000 a year.
This is not hay. But we should build this
business on a long-time)! sustaining basis, and
we should see to it that tho rush to make the

Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THE postwar tourist rush to and through
Oregon hns already started.
Wo attended a state tourist promotion con
Saturday, and it was agreed
that the immeaiaie proDiem u
not inducing visitors to come
to this state but accommodat
ing those who came and in
providing an atmosphere of
courtesy and hospitality that
will spread the good name of
the stale and make for more
tourist business later on.
Resorts and hotels in many
parts of the state, where there
are tourist attractions, are al
ready booked up for many
weeks, indicating the rush
began the moment wartime
travel were raised,
There is a vast reserve of both spending
power and a yen to travel. This is being
released at this time, and for a considerable
period ahead we could probably not stop tour
ists from coming here if we wanted to. Oregon's
immediate' tourist problem, therefore, is not
inducing travel, which is what most people
have come to think about in connection with
state tourist promotion policies.
.. e e e.e
Revive Cpurtesy
THE first thing the group at Salem did, after
a conference with Governor Snell, was to
issue an appeal to Oregon people to revive the
hospitality and courtesy that went pretty much
by the board in the war years.
'- It is not necessary to go into details about
what has happened to courtesy in trade re
lationships, and to friendliness shown by "na
tives" to strangers. We do not think this situa-;
tion has been serious in our own community,
but some of the stories told around the state
certainly indicate a need for re-vitalizing every-t
thing that is embodied in the term "western
hospitality."
This may not appear to be immediately im
portant, with travel continuing at a high level
and accommodations at a premium. But the
people who come here now are going to get
impressions of the state that will either help
or damage us in the years ahead when tourist
business will be needed as a vital factor in
supporting the state's economy.
In this same phase of the problem is the
matter of supplying tourists with proper infor
mation. This is not wholly a chamber of com
merce problem, by any means. Many more
information contacts are made at places where
tourists obtain services, such as restaurants, -hotels
and gasoline stations. :: There is talk of a
statewide education program, using motion pic
tures, etc., and local "schools" for people who'
meet the tourist trade.
Accommodations
THERE' is a definite feeling among those,
studying tourist prospects that Oregon lacks
the proper accommodations to take care of the
business headed in this direction. This applies
both to hotels and to tourist camps.
There must be reliance upon private enter
prise to make up this deficiency, and we suspect
that private enterprise will react rapidly when
business starts going by the door.
If Oregon public and semi-public bodies de
velop an aggressive tourist promotion policy,
investment possibilities in connection with the
tourists will be quickly apparent to the public.
This is a matter that is vitally important to
individual communities, and . we hope that it
is not being overlooked by the people who
should be interested in that sort of thing here.
Incidentally, the local situation is somewhat
affected by the uncertainty of highway routing.
The chamber of commerce has had numerous in
quiries from persons interested in investing in
tourist facilities here who need to know where
the highways through the cities are going to be
located. Public bodies .and others have urged
that these decisions may be made soon, and now
is a good time to repeat that appeal to the
state highway commission.
Don't Spoil It y
4E feel that : conservation has to go right
W along .with any tourist development pro
gram in Oregon. - It is the state's natural at
traction that will do more than anything else
to bring visitors to Oregon. If we permit our
roadsides to be despoiled, our lakes and streams
to run out of fish, our primitive areas to be
"destructively developed," we will kill off the
very things that form the basis of tourist busi
ness. There is also a need for developing local
recreational facilities that will attract and hold
visitors. Swimming pools and parks belong in
this program. They not only will add to local
living enjoyment but will make Oregon cities
attractive to visitors.
One can see there are many sides to the
problem, and perhaps it needs a study by some
such agency as the University of Oregon school
of business administration. Some of the prob
lems will tend to solve themselves, but others
call for planning, inter-community coopera
tion, and statewide policy.
The tourist business in postwar years may be
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 Calamity-howlors
are still wailing that the discovery of
atomic energy means "the suicide of civiliza
tion or world socialism." I beg to report not
necessarily. Those are not tho alternatives with
which the world is confronted. There is a third
' course visible, a plain and simple one, although
no one seems to be mentioning it.
Every time man develops a new and possible
horrible unknown quantity, all imaginations,
Wild or tame guess what the world is coming
to, and it never has gone there. This time
the more serious seers are trying to guess
whether it will be utter-destruction by fire at
long last as prophets promised, or an atomic
wonderland of great constructive advancement
In civilization. All we know is this government
has something which would certainly have
destroyed Japan (when we developed full pro
duction) but after that, all is theory. Nothing
has been successfully established yet, except
the world is playing with bigger dynamite.
. e e e e -
Greater Fear
ONLY a few months back we all rocked in
horror and trembled (editorially at least)
because the rocket bomb discovered by the
. Germans was to wreck civilization. Why a
- madman in the Himalayas might someday hit
' the Empire State building. Now all that fear
has been rendered obsolete by the discovery of
a greater one.
' Truth is, nothing military has been discovered
in this war except methods of expansion of
fields of destruction. A few short centuries
ago a man on a horse had an advantage, en
abling him a wider field of destruction in war
than a man afoot Then the advantage went
to the man with armor plate, but eventually
' it was pierced by a lance, and the man with
the lance was the most powerful destructive
. force on earth. Bigger armor, . better lances
gave way, degree by degree to artillery, then
to planes, then tanks, bigger bombs and now
the atomic bomb.
SIDE GLANCES
Adequate Defense
NEVER has there been discovered a weapon
for which: there was no adequate defense.
The scientific aim of offense has been bestirred
most in man. He always has discovered first
greater weapons of attack, but in time these
have never failed to develop necessities for
and therefore the inspiration to conceive an
adequate method of defense. The offensive dis
coveries are really effective only while they
are new, and before defense has found the
answer.
A proper answer to the atomic bomb Is not
. only to be expected, but is the logical next step.
So much for the military angle. The net re
. suit on that phase is the expansion of war from
a battle' line or field which may be far from
civilization. The world- has become a single
battlefield.
As for the rest of it to come the commercial
use of atomic energy you can let your imagin
ation skip along where it will, because no one
knows. The horse as an attack facility also
pulls the plow, or did, until the tractor (fore
runner of the tank), brought greater ability to
produce food. Dynamite; you know, first blew
up tree trunks and cleared land, and it moved
mountains for road construction in the service
of man. The constructive use of the atomic
energy theory depends on our future ingenuity:
It may supplant or challenge the use of coal,
steam, fuel oil, gasoline, water power and
electrical energy, but I am always skeptical'
of vast prophesies from unknown factors. We
thought beforehand, this war .would develop
along the lines of poison gasses and wholesale
scattering of pestilence with germs as a weapon.
It took a different line of development we
could not forsee, the use of liquid fire, for 'in
stance, which, .incidentally seems to me little,
less inhuman in ethical and moral theory, than
the atomic bomb or what we thought the war
might be. By this I mean, the future 'will
bring us a different conception of the' atomic
energy theory than any now held.
e ' ' e e
Political Use
BEWARE of one Immediate use of the bomb
development the political use. Those who
do not wish man to be free; say he cannot be
free with' such agencies of destruction present
in the world.. Others will try to develop selfish
deductions, warped to justify whatever political
action they wish to take. It may make navies
and even armies, more-obsolescent, along with
"universal" military training (the youth draft)
and the international setup for peace by a
security council directing armies jointly (maybe
all we need is a few bombs, which incidentally
are controlled so far by the U. S. and Britain).
No political action of any character is justi
fied yet.
But one paramount thing Is apparent. Mr.
Truman must set the minds developing this
bomb to developing the answer to it immediate
ly, and that part of the matter, might well re
main a permanent secret. Discovery of a new
poison, without the antidote, is a job only
half done. Certainly nothing could contribute
more to security and constructive world ad
vancement than completion of the task in as
complete privacy as protected the development
of the atomic energy theory in its first military
form. Along this line runs the more logical
open course. Upon it lies the remedy.
