Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
SPEAKING at last night's Knife and Fork
club dinner here, M. S. Rukeysor, New
York economic commentator,
case against the theory that
legislation and decree will
solve every economic problem.
He argued that fundamental
principles cannot be altered
by passing a law, and that the
only safe fiscal policy is to
spend less than you take in.
Those who agree with Mr.
Rukcyser should remember
that congress is responsive to
the pressure of public opinion,
and that we usually get from
congress just about the EPLEY
kind of legislation we deserve. Pressure groups
are constantly at work attempting to make
congressmen believe they represent the will of
the people. A militant minority group, spear
headed by active and vocal leadership, can
make a showing of influence over legislation
far beyond its numerical strength.
Will-o-the-wisp legislation also springs from
the fact that we are always subject to wishful
thinking and often seek the short-cuts even
gainst our better judgment. Many of us will
subscribe to sound principles in - silence and
make our noise in favor of something that looks
good temporarily but Is economically haywire
in the longer view.
We have a community example of that in
the situation regarding the Klamath airport.
The local attitude on that question has been'
that if it is economically feasible as a part
of a logical defense program to keep a navy
activity on the field, we want it done. If the
only basis for keeping it there is to please us
politically even though the costs would not
. be justified, we will give up the idea. That's
the kind of public fortitude that Mr. Rukeyser
advocated. - ,

What About It?
A LOT of bad luck has gotten in the way
A of the special events committee of the
Victory Loan drive. Weather has hit the com
mittee in the solar plexus a couple of times.
The latest unhappy incident was the failure of
Admiral Halsey to visit here in accordance
with a tentative schedule.
The committee had hoped to stage a $100,000
E bond day in honor of Halsey. We feel cer
tain that if the admiral's visit had been ar
ranged, and a huge crowd had gathered, that
goal would have been far oversubscribed. What
ay to pitching in and shooting the E bond
total up by that figure this week, anyhow? The
dough is here, and Klamath should get going.
It looks out of place on that step next to the
cellar floor.

News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 Mr. Attlee did not
get his way about giving the atom bomb
to Russia or to a United Nations commission.
Twenty-four hours before the decision was
announced, however, some of the best informed
correspondents were writing that the commis
sion solution had been agreed upon. There
were, at that time, some grounds for belief that
the British had induced President Truman to
change his mind. The mere publication of such
a suggestion brought his best advisers into
action, and he stood his ground firmly.
a
Major Hand
THE British prime minister, who apparently
had a major hand in writing the announce
ment, succeeded nevertheless in composing an
exceptionally interesting, if .elusive, text. This
document which stands in the nature 01 a mo
mentous world proclamation on the most im
portant subject confronting mankind requires
analytical understanding. Indeed it may lead
to breaking up the Truman policy in months or
years to come unless the president remains in
sistent and alert. .
The first point, the premise, asserts "there
can be no adequate military defense" against
the bomb and therefore no nation should mon
opolize it.
This assertion not only contradicts much
scientific evidence, and the entire history of
science which has always to date found de
fenses adequate for its inventions, it also con
tradicts other assertions of the Attlee text.
Point six maintains the spreading of informa
tion about the bomb should wait until science
has found the answer, the precise words are:
"We are not convinced that the spreading of
specialized information regarding the practical
application of atomic energy before it is pos
sible to devise effective reciprocal, and enforce
able safeguards acceptable to nations, would
contribute to a constructive solution of the
oroblem of the atomic bomb."
e
Truman Policy
IN short, point six must be persistently main
tained against the premise of point one, if
the Truman policy is to prevail. Mr. Truman
can maintain it only if he continues to get
popular support for his just and reasonable
position.
There are other revealing phases of the mo
mentous text. It says:
"We believe the fruits of scientific research
should be made available to all nations."
Then it proposes a United Nations commission
for the inspection of armaments a recommen
dation which originated in this column at the
time of the San Francisco conference.
Now if this pledge of international Inspection
of armamentj is kept, and thoroughly applied,
the giving away of military secrets will not be
necessary.
To put it another way on the' same thumb
nail, our official and public insistence must be
maintained for inspection, or the giving away
of the fruits of our scientific developments
will become dangerous, foolish, even suicidal.
, '
Russia Isolated
CONSIDER Russia in this respect She has
isolated herself. If we give her all our
scientific fruits and she maintains her isolation
against inspection by us and an international
body, the very fact that she does such a thing
casts such a reasonable suspicion upon free
fruit-giving as to make it worthless as a world
peace move.
Now do not conclude hastily that Mr. Tru
man and our government know all about these
things and will take care of them, or that the
possibilities opened in this momentous text
represent my imagination of a remote possi
bility. The wrong philosophy is already in the
text, balanced by the right philosophy.
Thus the text has left us with an obligation
to maintain the right part of it against misinterpretation.

CWCVA
KLAMATH FALLS. Ore., (To
the Editor): About ready to
leave Oregon, I had hoped that
my time of writing letters "to
tile editor" was over and then
comes Bob Sawyer, posing as an
authority on federal reclama
tion (which in my opinion he
knows little or nothing about)
and on federal-state relations
(about which 1 think he knows
little more) to instruct and ad
vise two groups of our promi
nent citizens about the awful
consequences of the passage of
Senator Mitchell's Columbia
Valley Authority bill.
I wouldn't think Sawyer's
opinion was worth much on this
subject, even if I thought it sin
cere, which I don't. He is en
gaged in spreading the propa
ganda, very biased propaganda,
of the National Reclamation As
sociation (a misnomer if ever
there was one) currently report
ed to be largely financed by the
railroads and private power
companies.
I agree with Sawyer in just
one thing: that the passage or
failure, of the Mitchell bill is the
most important event to Oregon
that will happen in the near fu
ture. Hence the time taken to
write this letter.
What Oregon MOST NEEDS
and MUST HAVE if it is to go
ahead in the immediate future
is less far-Eastern-control, both
political and financial, of its
natural resources, MORE ot
both controls here at home. The
Mitchell CVA bill will give you
that. It does NOT mean more
federal control. On the contrary.
It will NOT impair state rights.
On the contrary.
All our natural resources are
now controlled by the federal
government, by the Reclamation
Bureau, by the Forest Service,
by the National Park Service,
by the Biological Survey, by
the Indian Bureau, by the Bon
neville Power Administration,
by the Army Engineers, perhaps
a few others.
These are all Bureau's, all
lead back to some federal De
partment (War, Interior, Agri
culture) all headed by a Secre
tary, each of whom is appointed
for a short term, all of whose
qualifications are political only.
Mitchell would substitute for
this the COORDINATED devel
opment of all our natural re
sources under the control of
REGIONAL administrators,
nere on me ground, wnere we
could get at them: regional ad
ministrators who would stand
or fall according to their meas
ure of success in developing the
Northwest.
For instance, the Shasta View
irrigation district would not
have to line up the whole State
and go clear back to Washing
ton to get enough of the sur
plus water of Upper Klamath
lake to irrigate its lands at a
cost it could pay; sheep and cat
tle owners would not have to
follow the line clear to Wash
ington to get proper grazing
fees those things would be set-
tied HUKE.
Regarding irrigation, I
KNOW that progress of develop
ment will be faster under the
Mitchell CVA than It will be
under the Reclamation Bureau.
I had a part in framing the irri
gation provisions of the bill.
I advise anyone who wants to
understand the real difference
between our present federal
state set-up and the wonderful
new tool, the REAL decentrali
zation, the REAL regional con
trol offered by the Mitchell bill.

ters 13, 14, 15 and 16 of "Democ

Do you regard it as dictator

In your judgment would the
