LATEST local word is that a conference is to
be held within a day or two by represent-
" tives of the IWA-CIO union, the AFL machinists'
. union, management and the U. 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.

Escape Attempt
At Pan Thwarted
WALLA WALLA, Sept. 6 (VP)
Three state penitentiary inmates
including Lifer Herbert Allen,
convicted of first degree mur
der for a Spokane killing, were
thwarted yesterday in an escape
attempt, when a tower guard
observed one of the trio sliding
down a rope to go over the
wall.
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. .
