Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THERE'S . an old axiom around this news
paper office that when botli sides in a
warm local controversy complain to us, we
can be satisfied with our fair
handling of the situation.
We got complaints from two
directions this week following
publication of two advertise
ments in Thursday's edition
dealing with the current lum
ber strike.
One of the advertisements
was inserted by the CIO-IWA
union, sponsor of the strike.
The other was signed by the
companies whose operations
are affected.
The complaints came because they were pub
lished on the SAME DAY and on the SAME
PAGE in the paper. Both a company official
and a union official expressed some doubt as
to whether it could be coincidence that the
first advertisements dealing with the issues
from both sides should appear in that way.
How It Happened
HERE'S what happened:
The CIO advertisement and the companies'
advertisement were handed to our advertising
department on Wednesday and authorized for
publication Thursday. They came in within
an hour of each other. As sometimes happens
in merchandise advertising, two competitors gQt
an idea at about the same time.
It is strict policy in our advertising depart
ment not to divulge any information, as to
publication dates or contents of advertising, to
competitors. We followed that to the letter on
the CIO and lumber company advertisements.
'Both were accepted by our poker-faced adver
tising department, without a word to either
group as to the other's intentions.
With two advertisements on the same subject
scheduled for the same day, it was an obvious
and sensible thing to place them on the same
page. There was coincidence in the fact the
ads came in for the same day, but not in their
location in the paper. That was done for the
convenience of our readers. No apologies are
in order or are offered!
Our Conscience Is Clear
NOW, when our news representative called
on the CIO-IWA union headquarters the
following day, he was told by a union official
that there would be no more news for this
paper, on the indicated ground that the union
had not been treated fairly.
We presume that his attitude was prompted .
by the advertisement incident, which we have
explained in full. But perhaps the time is
ripe for a little discussion of this strike,
especially from the standpoint of news and
editorial handling by this newspaper.
, It has been our determined purpose through
out to tell 'a straight, objective news story of
this unfortunate affair. If anyone says other
wise, he either tells a malicious falsehood or
is so prejudiced he would be satisfied only
with a COLORED story colored his way.
On one occasion, the union press committee
came in with a complaint that it felt editorial
comment had been injected into a news story.
We had intended to explain, rather than edi
torialize, but we published the union com
ment on the matter in full to dispose of any
question of good faith. We carry our editorial
comments on this affair in this column, under
the name of this writer, who is responsible for
them.
We believe in frankness, and the surest way
to provide a full story to the public on this
The War Today
. By DtWITT MacKENZIE
Associated Preis Foreign Affairs Analyst
OVER in Tokyo bay the great man-of-war
Missouri swings at anchor amidst the
armada of fighting ships, complacent in its
massive strength, its decks
spotless and its brass gleam
ing, waiting for the ceremony
which will mark the official
capitulation of Japan to allied
might.
The Missouri symbolizes the
end of the barbaric attempt
of the axis powers to enslave
their fellows. It marks a mo
ment of high drama from
which it is difficult to turn
aside. Still, while we wait for
the Japs to sign, we shouldn't overlook that
other drama which is being enacted just across
from Japan in China the Chungking confer
ence upon which may depend whether this vast
country will be plunged into that most terrible
of all conflicts, civil war.
Mackenzie
Active Threat
T
iii: cninese development in a way is as
Important as the official surrender aboard
the Missouri. For Japan already is beaten
and has lowered her flag, while the fierce
quarrel between the Chinese v communists and
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's government
is an active threat to peace in Asia. Fratricidal
war in China might nullify much of the good
achieved by the defeat of Nippon.
The position is that Chinese communist lead
ers from the" north, headed by Mao Tse-tung, at
long last are in Chungking in response to
Chiang's invitation for a parley. Major General
Patrick Hurley, American ambassador, flew
clear up to Yenan to accompany them back
to the capital, as a good-will go-between.
a e
Step Forward
THAT was a step forward, but with the
arrival of the communist leaders in Chung
king their central committee issued a manifesto
demanding the immediate formation of a coali
tion government, giving the communists a full
place. This was a reiteration of the demand
against which the generalissimo has been fight
ing for years. He has had thumbs down on the
Chinese communists and many -bloody battles
have been fought between the armies of the
two factions.
e e
Chiang Compromise
THUS Chiang is being asked to compromise
on his principles. It is a tense moment.
If he compromises it means at least temporary
peace. If he refuses, all hell may break loose.
We now come to one of the highlights of
this second drama being unfolded in the ancient
city which clings to. the precipitous hillside
above the mighty Yangtze. Madame Chiang
Kai-shek, who for a year has been in the United
States under medical treatment, is racing back
home on the appeal of her husband. She says
she is "needed there now."
Conciliator
THIS brilliant, American-educated woman,
who ranks among the world's great per
sonages, long has been her husband's right
hand. She has been his chief adviser in mat
ters of state, as well as commander and de
veloper of the Chinese air force. Indeed, she
has been virtually co-ruler of the country and
often has been referred to as "the brains of
China."
It is significant in the present Instance that
Madame Chiang has a knack for conciliation,
and has turned many of her husband's enemies
into friends. You will recall that it was she
who, at the risk of her own life, flew into
the wilds when Chiang was kidnaped by bandits
in 1936 and persuaded them to release him.

PAY CLAIMS SEEN
SALEM, Sept. 1 fP) Claims
filed with the unemployment
compensation commission dur
ing the second post-war week to
taled 1640, compared with 2170
during the first week after the
war ended, the commission said
today.
The commission said:
"With job openings continu
ing high in lumbering, canner
ies, railways and service indus
tries, many of the emergency
workers were transferring
quickly to peacetime pursuits.
"The commission expects the
real pinch to come this winter
when seasonal work falls, off
and shipyard jobs dwindle. Farm
work has attracted many of those
laid off, although hop, bean and
fruit growers are depending
mainiy on local residents."

a transportation gem in the gen

Bv no stretch of the imagina

AS a whole, British day trains
" are unbelievably crowded,
unbelievably dirty and shabby
and fantastically war-worn and
dilapidated as they have a per
fect right to be, since they are in
their sixth year of war service
with neither time nor materials
for slicking up.
Back home, you have to have
a reservation for a seat in a day
coach before you can get on the
train. They don't have that rule
here. You pile on if you can
get on, and by the time you
reach your destination the aisles
will be packed to the roof. If

third-class ticket, drop into a
seat in the first-class compart

and when the conductor comes
around you pay him the dif
ference and all is rosy. If you
can't find a first-class compart

You get your eye-teeth cut
