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.

Here it is:
Last night I had- a shocking
dream
That filled me with dismay:
Our fighting men had gone on
strike
Demanding higher pay.
They wanted overtime, it
seemed,
For dying in the mud,
And shorter vorking hours for
The shedding of their blood.
"How dare they strike!" : the
home front screamed.
"When we give up so much,
Like candy bars and pleasure
cars
And cigarets and such."
The foe broke through the picket
line
And left a trail of graves
And overnight our people all
Were changed to fettered
slaves.
I woke to find our boys still
fought
And that the end seemed near

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

strength in Shcnsl province In
the' north. 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.
