FOUR HERALD AND NEWS Tutiday, Stpt. IS. 1945 THANK JENKINS MALCOLM EPI.RV t Editor - Managing Editor A temporary combination of tha Evening Herald and th ui..ni. Nnwa Published every afternoon except Sunday ni Kkiilannde and Pine itrcets, Klamath Falls. OrcRon, by the iieraia ruwumin and the Newi Publishing Company. Member, Associated Prcsi Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE CIO action last week of announcing ac ceptance ol a WCLC request for work re sumption in the Klamath lumber industry has not developed into an actual back-to-work move ment as quickly as many had anticipated. Some o the headline writers on various papers made it appear that the workers were going back immediately. Instead, it was only a step toward possible settlement. This situation is shot through with so many complications that it doesn't work out with anything bord ering on simplicity. It is virtually impossible to state anything in connection with it that will not be chal lnnoed bv somebody. Even, on occasion, people who give EPLEY information will deny it or revise it almost im mediately. It has been quite clear to all observers that no one involved is going to hurry into any thing. As we have frequently said, the local strike is a little segment of a great nationwide problem. It certainly has not offered an ex ample for quick, efficient settlement of labor strife. It happens, for instance, that the CIO con tract with Weyerhaeuser Timber company, where the trouble started, provides for what seems to be a fair method of settlement of dif ferences and adjustment of complaints. It does not appear that use was made of this machinery, and the strike started without it. This is a fact noted by the WCLC in its recent telegram, and it might well have saved a lot of trouble had the peace formula been tried to its fullest extent before the more drastic strike action was taken, followed by the many complications that are now being cleared so slowly. Streamliner Talk RIDING the S. P. to Portland and back, we heard again the 'talk about S. P. plans for new, fast trains on the coastwise line. Travel ers and trainmen seem to think there will be one or two streamliners, and there is talk of a train that will travel between Portland and San Francisco in 14 hours. Some one has even sug gested 12 hours. The fastest train between San Francisco and Portland, the Cascade, now makes it in 21 hours. The S. P. has done a banj-up job of moving freight, military personnel, etc., up and down the Pacific coast in the war period, in the face of difficult odds. Its regular passenger service has suffered considerably in the period. A de cision to give the coast line modernized service would seem to be in order. Between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the S. P. has run some fine, modern trains, even during the war, such as the Lark and the Day light. That's the kind of service that would be most welcome on the whole coast run. Incidentally, here's a suggestion for a name for a new streamliner: "The Modoc." We would suggest the Klamath, but that's al ready the name of a train which, incidentally, is quite distant from the streamliner class. Old Fort Road DR. LOWELL T. COGGESHALL makes a sound appeal for improvement of the land scaping along the Old Fort road between town and the Marine Barracks. He has asked the Kiwanis club to take the lead in the project. The Old Fort road is not exactly beautiful in spots. Improvement of private property along the way, planting of trees and shrubs, and other steps can be taken to make it an appropriate access road to a fine military installation. Dr. Coggeshall himself has shown the way by spon soring some beautiful landscaping around the dispensary at the Barracks. This is a worthwhile community project. We hope the Kiwanis club takes it up and makes a go of it. We are still getting unsigned letters to the editor, or letters which are signed with the re quest that the name be withheld. On any im portant matter, especially controversial ques tions, we must have bona fide signatures on letters if we are going to run them. "Disgusted citizen," for instance, should let us know if his name is to be used on the letter received this morning entitled "If the shoe fits, wear it." Without the name attached, it can't be published. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (Continuing from yesterday). Now the idea is being' ad vanced that it is not correct to say the British want to cancel the $29,000,000,000 of give-lease obligations and get $6,000,000,000 more money to finance their planned socialist purchase of their own industries. Technically this is true; actually it is not true. They huvo come here with great piles of import-export figures, claim ing they lost their trade during the war (cer tainly not to us,) and saying they will use the new money to buy more foreign exchange than the export-import bank can furnish them. I have seen other figures showing they broke about even on exports and imports during the war, aside from give-lease. Certainly they need many things. Perhaps they will use the money for that purpose, although not all with us. ' But only by our capitalism balling them out, can they put themselves in a financial posi tion for their expensive socialism. Without the cancellation of the $29,000,000,000 and more cash, and the export-import bank and the Bret- ton Woods foreign exchange funds, will they be able financially to swing their purchase of their bank, railroads, etc? No one will or can deny this. . Using Our Money IN the truest sense, therefore, they are using I our money to finance their anti-capitalist pro gram and they do not want to pay interest on it while paying double interest to their own people for the purchase, and cancelling our give-lease while making repayment of real lend-lease to their own colonies. It is unques tionably true then that they propose to drain from our capitalism the fruits with which to kill their own, and Laski and the other social' ist mentors at home are all the while publicly saying it would be a dastardly assault upon their honor for us to interfere at all with their plans, which logically anticipates dislocation of their whole financial system. A person must pinch himself to ascertain if he has lost his senses when faced with such boldly proclaimed unreasonableness, but this is all a matter of public record, a record merely obscured for the present by carefully contrived propaganda. SIDE GLANCES B1 Agreement Needed ( R1TAIN is a nation of around 47,000,000 people, roughly one-third of our population, although her empire has 557,000,000, more than a fourth of the population of the earth. Her payable production is not imposing aside from woolens, linen and Scotch whiskey but her em pire produces every material which we need, and in most of which, we are short. Her in ternal debt (excluding give-lease) is, as near as I can find, around $100,000,000,000 ($4 pound), or also roughly a third of ours. In short, her people are about in the same debt fix as ours. While we have three times more people, we also have more than three times more debt. While she is reducing hers and cutting her com mitments, we are enlarging ours. A fair agreement would not appear difficult if both nations exhibited a reasonable attitude. I know what I would do, if confronted by the proposition Britain has built up for our chief delegate. Will Clayton. If I could keep my temper in the face of such British imposi tions upon my intelligence, I would send Keynes and Halifax home, and tell them to send over Prof. Laski and the chancellor of the exche quer, as we must deal with someone of author ity to know what they are going to do. I would say: "We bailed you out of the last war, and we will ball you out of this one. We want to. We cancelled the post-war rehabilitation debts of , World War I and we will cancel these. But we are not fools. This is getting to be a perma nent proposition. We can support our own country but not yours also, indefinitely, under me most lavoraDie circumstances, ana your planned attack upon the very American capi talism, which has furnished from its toil the money to save you twice, has created threaten ing unknown circumstances. "This money is extracted painfully from our people. It represents Sweat of their brow. Get your cards out of your hat and on the table, and we will work out something fair to both sides." U. S. Was Loser WE lost our last victory not only at the peace table, as Is generally known, but in the post-war financing,' as is not generally known. Germany never paid a net cent of these reparations, which drew our pity to such an extent that we ultimately took the lead in their cancellation, considering them so heavy as to be an unjust barrier to peace. Churchill once produced in the house of commons tRe full fig ures on reparations paid by Germany as com pared with allied money borrowed (largely from the United States and Britain) by Germany. He showed they just about balanced. Our Taxpayers Pay GERMANY took from us money in loans (which she never repaid) practically cov ering in full what she paid France. Actually then our people, our taxpayers, paid the repara tions which we so pitied Germany for bearing. And we do not even yet generally realize the trick Germany played upon us, making us allies assume her whole burden and enabling her to rearm swifter for the second war against us, We can lose this victory the same way. More, we can utterly destroy ourselves, and our way of life, by falling into these foolish . finan cial pitfalls, with which we are being presented.

Oonlrlbullon, following theee rule,, art warmly wel oomecV OUR LABOR TROUBLE KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To the Editor) I thank you very much for the September 15 edi torial dealing with the local lumber trouble. It hits the nail on the head and proves that here we have a real modern thinker, speaking through the press, impartially for all the people. It will not be hard to settle this question if all parties in interest will only do what they know to bo right, I, of course, have a fairly wide knowledge of the merits of the claims of the respective parties, but will not state them at this time, because I might thereby start some controversial matters, which would do more harm than good, to the speedy settlement of the question be fore us. The thing to do right now is to by-pass these "islands of trouble," get the men back to work and the factories running. which is just as important for recovery as it was for winning the war. Then we can have time for a general airing of the differences. and when we reach this status of restored activity I will take pleasure in stating the labor and capital question as it ap pears to me in its new environ ment. There is no need for any of us to cover a lot of ground in dealing with dead-issues; the warring factors of industrialism should die, along with all other classes of warfare, for they are just as inimical to industrial peace as guns and tanks are to domestic tranquility. Be it ever remembered that the last four years have brought about a great change in our thinking and our moral attitude among ourselves and also toward the rest of mankind. I, myself, have been almost overwhelmed in my thinking when I contemplate the tre mendous sacrifice which has been made by all of our people, rich man, poor man, and their women folks, and all around de votion to the new thought of a new world. All this has boosted my soul. and while I have always had a very high regard for the people ot my country, i now nave an even higher regard for Ameri cans than ever before. So, do not let a little squab ble over labor troubles get us down when we have just tri umphed over thoughtless ambi tions of another class of man kind. Yours respectfully, WM. F. B.

The War Today By DoWITT MacKENZIE Associated Pru War Analyst MacKENZIE Europe's dangerous shortiifso of food was cmnhiislzeri again yesterday when 47 American or ganizations petitioned President ri'unum for quick ship ments of food stuffs to avert starvation. T h o presi dent Inter Is sued a statu m cut snylng "t h I s govern ment Is bend ing every ef fort to find (. o 1 u 1 1 cms to this prob lem" and reaffirming his pledge at tho time of the Potsdam con ference: "If wo let Euiope go cold and hungry, wo may losu some of the foundations of order on which tho hoped-for world wide peuco must rest. We must help to the limits of our strength. And wo will." Suffering Expected lie added, however, that "much suffering may be expect ed during the coming winter in certnin mens of the continent." At tho same time mi Associat ed Press dlspntch from Germany epitomized Ihis perilous situa tion. It reported (hut shovel squads already me preparing graves for llerlin citizens who are expected to die from starva tion or suicide din ing the win ter. This Isn't a new crisis but one with which the nllies hnve been struggling ever since the col lapse of nazidom. However, It Is rapidly approaching Its peak, which will be reached after win ter has the unhnppy continent In its Icy grip.' Thnt is, It will reach its peak of suffering but none can sny what chaos may be let loose as the result of hunger, for thnt drives folk to terrible deeds. And it creates situations which aro taken advantage of by de signing men. Herbert H. Lehman, American director gnnornl of tho United Millions relief and rohnhllllidlon lulinliilstiiitliin, told Mr, Truinun the other day that Kuropo "laces a very gi'lm wilder, with iiiuvsl and possible chaos" un less relief could be expedited. Along with Hut terrifying short nge of food there is a crlllenl scarcity of coal, which Is u basic requirement since heat, light, transportation and industry de pend on II. No wonder Ml'. Lehman fears "unrest and possible chaos." One can foresee crime waves In ninny sections n( thu continent, and snnie of tho countries which nro hardest hit niny seo civil upheavals, The allies tire moving relief to Lurope, but tins Inn t ii situation which can be met overnight. As the signs read, thu best the allies can do won't bo enough. Time nluiie will toll how deep Kurnpo must sink Into Ilia swamp of privation before being pulled onlo firm ground. Now Doctrines Seen Now while this struggle Is go ing on wo probably shall sea an exemplification politically ot the truism Hint drowning men clutch nt straws. It bus happened be fore In Kurope, and It will hap pen again, that a despairing pub lie has turned to strange mid un tried political leadership in hope of improving conditions. Hitler owed much of his rise to this phenomenon and so did Musso lini. So we likely shall see the peo ple of some hard hit countries rushing to accept new doctrines In an effort to escnpo their troubles. There will be great rhnnges, and It will Indeed he strange If In some instances they are not uttended by violence.

We send our sincere thanks to the Army, Navy and Government authorities or their lympathetit understanding of our problems. to the shippers who cheerfully put up tvith delays so that more vital war freight could go through on time, and who cooperated in many ways to conserve equipment. to our passengers, for their good-natured acceptance of crowded trains and other wartime discomforts. to the thousands of people who stayed off the trains to make room for service men and other essential travelers. to the press and radio which understood our operating difficulties and kept the public informed. We do not know how quickly Southorn Pacific can convert from war to peace. Soon transports will be landing thousands of war-weary men at West Coast ports, and many more must bo brought back from Europe. Those men will want to get homo ni quickly as possible We intend to do our best to carry them in tho comfort to which they are entitled. This job comes first, of course.
