S. conciliation ' service. This move toward eon ' ferenee grew out of the conver ' rations yesterday morning at 1 the Weyerhaeuser picket line, and may well prove to be a most constructive result of that . incident We say that in the hope that - this conference may produce the basis for an end of this strike which has continued too " long for the good of anybody ' concerned. Its early conclu sion has become a matter of EPLEY distinct public interest in this community. Unusual Factors "FHERE have been certain unusual factors in- I volved in this situation which have tended to cushion the impact of the strike. 1. The war ended soon after the strike began, removing the pressure to produce lumber for prosecution of the war. This cannot be called an extenuating circumstance in the start of the strike, for that occurred while the war was still on and no one was certain how soon it would be over. But it is Quite certain that had surrender - sot come when it did, the strike would havt ended weeks ago. 2. Employment opportunities for persons on ' strike have been fairly good, and people gen- ' " erally have money in savings. This lessened the economic pressure upon the employes. - 3. War lumber contracts were cancelled and temporarily, at least, this lessened the pressure on management to produce lumber. These, and other factors, created an unusual , psychology, and have contributed to continuance of the work stoppage over a long period. False Security AT the same time, we believe that these factors create a false impression of the real ser iousness of this strike. People have tended to dismiss this situation as something that was "too bad," and we have detected a public indiffer ence toward it The strike has unquestionably eaten into the savings reserves of many of our people, at a time when we are entering a period of con siderable uncertainty and change. .This is on' of the most serious aspects of the whole affair. It is an effect that may not be immediately ap parent, but it is bad in the long range picture. The things for which people have saved over a long period can be quickly lost through a drain on those savings for current sustenance in. a period of work stoppage. In addition, the strike has no doubt caused a considerable dislocation of employment Many ' of the workers who are a real asset to this com munity have drifted away. The strike has adversely affected maintenance activities of the Industrial and logging plant that' are an asset both to labor and management as well as the community as a whole. Work that must be done in good , weather for activities that go on in winter weather has been stopped or seriously reduced, and the fall is now p-" proaching. These specific conditions must be added to the unwholesome general effect of disagreement and -dispute, which divides our people and, continu ing, must eventually result in ill feeling. Conference Opportunity cite these things because we feel they W should loom large in the thinking of those who are soon to confer and in the public interest in this meeting the first real conference that has been held with all sides represented. It must be clear to everybody that the time Is here to end this strike. We will be disappointed, and we believe that the vast majority of the people of this com A m unity will be disappointed if this meeting J does not produce constructive results. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept 6 Mr. Truman is on his own, to wipe the lend-lease slate clean or rather his own and Jlmmie's (meaning State Secretary Byrnes.) Congress can, and will do nothing. The lend-lease law, which now turns out to have been a give-lease law, also gave the president free power to make and close agreements, without guiding principles. The original misinterpretation of Mr. Truman's announcement that we should not expect repay ment, has been amended by Byrnes and Senate Leader Berkley to an extent which represents average congressional opinion. Mr. Byrnes said we expected to get some undefined things he called "commitments" although not dollars. Debt Forgetting THE run of congressmen think similarly it would be impossible to collect debts, along the funding lines in which we tried to lower drastically and then collect a minor portion of the debts of World War 1. The nations cannot pay, they say. It would be dangerous to impose any financial obligations on them, so why not forget the whole business? (This means, of course, our taxpayers must pay the deficiencies.) No sentiment for any affirmative -action to make Messrs. Truman and Byrnes take any course about the debts exists in either house. Some debating pressure urging Mr. Byrnes to get the utmost in commitments is present and will be exerted. Nowhere can I find anyone who wants to ask what of Russia? Who can say she is in no position to pay her debt? She has no internal war debt like ours, at least none of more than nominal consequences. I understood she started out paying us for everything she got, but lapsed lately. Dollar balances? Russia can mine gold for perhaps $11 an ounce cost to her and sell it to us for $35 an ounce (thereby getting about 70 per cent price reduction on goods from us) and by this means is in a position to repay, without hurt Also look at her captured re sources and markets' in Europe and Asia, which have permanently enhanced her financial and economic position. In spite of injured industry does she not have genuine ability to pay? . Reverse Give-Lease THE condition is different as regards the British Empire, the Netherlands, France and others, including China but not totally. The British, Dutch, French and Chinese (now expanded through Manchuria) control the world output of ' every material we are short of. True, they are financially on the brink (the world has put up some $18,000,000,000 to help them through the Bretton Woods bank and exchange fund) but after the war, they conducted world cartels and monopolies in such strategic materials as rubber and tin. Could not a small yearly percentage of that monopolistic production be applied to reverse give-lease to help us build permanent stock piles, or ever-normal supplies of manganese (which Russia has in abundance), tungsten, lin seed oil, quinine, and even Pacific oil to keep our patrol battleships going around Japan in the interest of world peace, without having to ship fuel to them across that vast ocean? Government authorities do not seem to want the West Indies and Bermuda which are valu able defenses and air bases, on the ground that we would have to support the poor natives. Well we need farm labor in the southern citrus and cotton belts which might enable the natives to support themselves, and the bases might well be worth- a loss for security. This phase of re payment may be debatable, however. Commitments Short THERE can be no debate about the fact that our allied friends have been short in "com mitments" of every kind to us, political as well as economic; in fact have made none outside the United Nations organization which is on strictly a mutual basis. The British, for instance, are socializing the Bank of England while seeking a new dollar loan directly from us, in addition to the financial aid of the Bretton Woods agree ments and promising to Bide with Russia on the continent The Russians have resisted our policies throughout Europe, and what trade or interests we will get or be able to maintain there is dubious.. The field of "commitments" which could be made to us by our allies is limit less in both politics and economics, and involve matters upon which a . friend who owes you money might well wish to make a "commitment" to establish good will if we asked for it. My inside information suggests Mr. Truman made his too-all-embracing observation for world consumption because his ' earlier cessation of give-lease had been a shock to the nations which expected to get rehabilitated at Uncle Sam's ex pense. A leading government official, Just back from Europe, is telling his colleagues the aston ishing extent to which they were shocked. Actual closing of - the books - through Mr. Byrnes may be a less onesided proposition than slate-wiping I hope.

(To the Editor) The leadership of the CIO in the strike in this ' area reminds one of the young man that was learning to play poker. After an all-night ses sion, he was bragging to his father: "They sure couldn't bluff me, Pa but they broke me." JAMES JOHNSON.

Allen alone managed to get outside the prison building, and he dropped to the ground inside the wall when guards fired on him. The other two were Robert Patterson, sentenced from King county for robbery, and Eugene Weaver, under 30-year sentence for kidnapping. Br Dewrrr Mackenzie Associated Press War Analyst MacKENZIE Is it possible that we shall have to fight the Japanese war over again a few years hence? Outspoken Vice Admiral John S. McCain, whose famous U. S. naval task force 38 played such a noiaoie pari in the victory over Nippon, declares that neither the Japanese war lords nor the rank and file consider them selves defeat ed. Then he gives this grim verdict: 'The Japa nese generals are not half licked yet. They're going to take a lot of killing at some future time." Physical Beating That would indeed be a gloomy outlook if we didn't feel justified in assuming that the admiral is in part speaking fig uratively. He means, 1 take it, that the militarists aren't licked mentally that they haven't had their ideas of conquest knocked out of them and there's plenty of evidence to support that claim. However, there can be no doubt that Japan is beaten to a frazzle physically. Surrender Forced Premier Hagashi-Kunl made that clear in his gloomy address before the diet in Tokyo yester day. He said that enormous military losses, impoverishment and exhaustion at home had forced surrender. And it should be noted that this position of de feat was reached before the ad vent of the atomic bomb. Of course the premier probably is s'u u eiiinnusize mis wan ine idea that it may soften allied treatment of his country, but ine laci remains that he is speak ing the truth and that Jnnan u shattered physically militarily, economically, industrially. This definitely means that we don't have to fight the Japs in the near future. It means, too, that if we capitalize the situa tion which now exists, we won't nave to light Uiera in the distant future, either. The fate of peace in Asia is in nlllcH hanrtai Tho ruiure is up to us. Must be Preoared In order to insure continuanr of peace there are several condi tions to be fulfilled. One of them obviously is that America and the other major powers must maintain a state of full military preparedness, ready for action at any moment. We can't afford any more Pearl Harbors. Then of course JaDan must be re-educated into peaceful ways of thinking which means de mocracy, in conjunction with this, those generals who "are not half licked yet" must be re moved from contact with society in one way or another. Militar ism must be destroyed in Nippon. jap neiorroaiion t This reformation of th .till (in many ways) medieval Japa nese presents a tremendous task and one which won't be achieved overnight. But vast as it Is, there remains another problem which affects all Asia and must be solved along with the Jap difficulties if peace is to be made secure. I refer to the danger of an Asiatic bloc, with anti western sentiments, developing in ine t ar Hast. That's a subject to Which this column hum re. ferred numerous times since my last trip to the Orient in 1943, but I return to it now because of its importance. japan wa in process of build ing up an Asiatic confederation, pitted against the western world when we dropped the atomic bomb on her. She was taking advantage of the widespread feeling among Asiatic nations including some who have every desire to be friendly to the west that the Occident is bent on exploiting the Orient and that the Atlantic charter with its pieoges or respect lor sover eignty and self-determination Is meant lor the western world and not for the east. .
