Member 'Audit Bureau Circulation Member, Assoc la tad Press Today's Roundup j , By MALCOLM EPLEY jrLAMATH FALLS Is pretty much a navy X town, and local residents as well as navy people and navy employes will be interested m a statement received here 4rom official sources predict Big a continuation of busy iuvy activities on the Pacific . rnst'for "a long time." The . message is from the mmander of the western sea ' ontier, . and came to us . Iirouglt the Klamath naval air ation. It takes note of predictions liat industrial activities might ane with the termination of the JaD war and says that . EPLEY whatever may develop in other parts of the country, it is obvious that on the Pacific ioast these predictions are unjustified, especial ly in respect to those activities conducted by the navy in support of the forces afloat and ashore in the Pacific." -.. . There is still a big supply problem. Over rteuling, reconverting and maintaining equip ment as it returns to this country will take a tot of work. The statement adds: j. "At navy yards, ordnance depots, air stations, rfupply depots and at other navy facilities essen tial to preserving the fruits of victory,' there is no prospect of any major force reduction . . . Opportunities for steady employment will con tinue for a long time in all such navy facilities n the west coast while working and living Conditions will steadily improve . . . This state ment is supported by recent advices from the riavy department." 7 This will be locally scanned, of course, for Indications as to the future of the Klamath Javal air station. Although the local station is not concerned with supply, it is certainly in cluded in the installations which, the statement liays, will have no major force reduction and where there will be opportunities for employ rpent for a long time to come, i. That's it, for what it's worth as a hint 4s to the future of our air station. Anyway, we see lots of white caps on the streets, and tiear the friendly roar of planes overhead on these moonlit nights. - ' " fevs Behind The News ' - By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 Shennanigans are starting for the dispensing of credit-and-loan billions abroad to replace lend lease. Mr. Truman announced the good news about the let-down in lend lease spending, and Mr. Crow-; ley simultaneously took the credit to taxpayers for the news that Britain, Russia, France, China and the rest of the world were coming in with their hands out to him now Every news reader is naturally asking himself the question what kind of a bargain did we get, or-are we going to get. It should be a good bargain because the rest of the world is politically non-cooperative -with us in certain glaring examples of foreign policies, but must have our financial help. The answer is nowhere apparent yet, in front of or behind the news, but : some, doubtful., aspects are discernible to those in the financial know-how, ' ; Propaganda Letter TAKE Britain first, the biggest aha most-. ; easily-seen case. An American letter- to business men, purporting to carry official Brit-, ish viewpoint (although it does not always say .' so) ' justifies large loans to London on the ground that the proposed socialism for the British mines and transport (their purchase by the government) is to be financed by self liquidating bonds so we naturally can have no Interest in them. That Is the kind of pro paganda to appeal to the American business mind self-liquidating loans are sound. They . pay themselves off from profits. So, concludes the propaganda letter, there could not possibly be able objection to them in the United States. The propaganda neglects to reveal to our people the one salient fact of the matter which would knock that whole appeal into a double cocked homburg, namely that British socialism contemplates also taking over the Bank of England, which, of course is the most important consideration In her future credit .standing. Any American business man who thinks of that fact (he will have to think of it himself be cause the propagandists will not tell him) will immediately say to himself: "Why, if the socialists are to abolish the standards of credit of capitalism in their best, and perhaps change it from day to day, or run it In any direction they want, I would not make them a loan. 1 would make them give me some unchangeable assurance of financial good-faith before I would even consider it." British Argument NOW their argument (the British) is that they had to have the Johnson act repealed to cancel their last war debt; the London econ omist was put up to say that a 50-cents-on-the-dollar settlement is necessary to pull them out of lend-lease red (although no one else said anything officially about paying anything), and they are in a desperate financial plight for dol- lars, credit and internally from their terrific war debt but they want more debt from us and want to increase their internal debt untold billions more for socialism and make their people pay the interest. That sounds like a one-sided proposition. To put it in its simplest terms: Britain wants us to pull her out of the red and yet have her way, exclusive of our interests in any particular. (Her government told parliament it would be awful for us to interfere with her wishes in any way). British Loan THIS same proposition is being sold to the public in an equally clever political way. The news accounts out of the Crowley press conference (quite plainly presenting off-the-record material) said a $3 billions loan to Britain was being discussed but British officials were anxious to make some arrangements "con cerning external debts incurred during the war before taking on additional outside debts." Not a word was mentioned about Britain taking on more internal debts by purchasing her own industries ones which she already controls in the public interest. Our officialdom just let it be known "some way would have to be found to carry Britain over the bumpy road ahead," but not a word that I see about what we would get out of it in any particular. But one day the news from abroad quotes the' British brain truster. Prof. Harold Laski as suggesting the new British government does not have the interests of the United States at heart in any respect but would work closer to the Russians, developing socialism through out Europe, . revise England throughout, and enough other things to drive any creditor away, and then days later comes Foreign Minister Bevin, belatedly, agreeing that maybe some of the Balkan elections and plans are not on the : level, or our level. Have we any guarantees in this'conditlon: how firm are they? What are they? : ' ' ;" ; De Gaulle FRANCE'S General De Gaulle came in for his loan discussions with a picture of Ben jamin Franklin. It might be a snide remark to anticipate that the British are coming in with the picture of Dorian Gray. The French choice of a present for Mr. Tru man was wise in all particulars. Franklin's hame stood for integrity and honesty to every one. His credit was. recognized everywhere. I would not know what the picture of Dorian .Gray stands for, but I know no one would make him a loan.

' wV "If you sell him so much as a frankfurter I'll have you arrested he's been boasting for years that he's a strict , vegetarian!" , The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst ""VAX I China's incipient civil war raises the harsh question of whether our conflict-weary world finally is managing to clamber out of the frying-pan only to tumble; into the fire. This long-: standing and: bloody quarrel between the Chinese com-: m u n i s t s and Generaliss i m o P h I o r. a Kill-1 . " r -u..trriTvi? Shek s Kuomm-. " tane government has suddenly flamed up again into white heat to become one of the threats to world peace. Yesterday from Chungking came the grim report that the communists in North and Cen tral China had "gathered their strength for an all-out offen sive." We get some easement to day in the statement from offi cial c o m m u n is t 'sources in Chungking that communist lead er Mao Tse-Tung has accepted Chiang Kai-Shek's invitation to send a representative to the cap ital to discuss a peaceful settle ment of the trouble. General Choir En-Lai, a man pf great capabilities whom . I " met in Chungking in 1943, has been se lected as the red representative. Big Three To Help Fratricidal war in that huge nation of some- 500,000,000 close to a quarter of the globe's population would present ap palling dangers, oo it is encour aging to read Hanson W. Bald win's . Washington dispatch to the New York Times, stating that Britain, Russia' and the United States will undertake joint political action to avert this catastrophe. From today's development one wonders if they haven't already made rep resentations. Certainly such intervention by the Big Three would be jus tified in the interests of world peace, especially since . the San rrancisco securty organization isn't yet functioning. The gen eral moral effect of such a move by this mighty trio would be good. Of course this strife between the Chungking government and the communists, who demand representation in a coalition gov ernment, isn t new. It really be gan " some nineteen years ago, and the genesis of it was this: Back in 1923 the great revolu tionary leader. Dr. Sun -Yat Sen, appealed to Russia for help in ousting the Chinese war-lords who had got control of his na tionalist government. This aid was granted and the war-lords were driven out. Sun Yat Sen died in 1925 and a year later the nationalist government in its present rorm was estaDiisncd with Chiang Kai-shek in power. General Chiang . dismissed the Russian .advisors and tried to break up the communism which had been established in North ern and Central China. This warfare has continued ever since and the communists have centered much of their Watch Crystals REPLACED While-U-Wait F.

One of the sensational episodes of this long struggle came in 1936 when Chiang Kui Slick went to Sheiis! to negotiate with the communists for their adhesion, and was held captive thirteen days. His famous wife rushed to his side, determined to "live and die" with him, and she was generally credited with per suading the captors to free Chiang. When the Japanese attacked China truce was made between the Chinese communists and Chungking. They buried the hatchet so as to present a com mon front to the invaders. The rods then had several powerful armies in he field, and they re cently "claimed that their forces totaled over a million. Despite -the-truce there were numerous sanguinary clashes be tween the red and tho govern ment troops. Furthermore the two factions didn't present a unified and - efficient fighting force. The other allies tried to bring them together, but with out success. Now,: with the collapse of Japan, the pent-up political pas sions of China arc trying again to break their bonds.
