HANK JENKINS Editor MALCOLM IPLEY Managing Editor : Mambar, Aaaoclatad Praia MtmlMr Audit Buiwu Circulation j Today's Roundup Bf MALCOLM EPLEY SEVERAL erroneous statements have appeared In Oregon newspaper! and elsewhere to the effect that the Klamath Falls Marine Bar racks has been declared sur plus.. Our attention has just been called to a comment of that nature in a story in the. Medford Mall Tribune on the veterans hospital situation. The Marine Barracks is a going installation. There have been no official announce ments concerning any change ' In its operation, Tho men in charge of the installation have received no communications that would Justify any state-, EPLEY ment that it has been declared surplus. : Some time ago a Washington dispatch ap pearing in some papers carried a list of in stallations which the navy 'might declare sur plus, and this list included the Marine Barracks and the Astoria naval air station. This dispatch did not state the installations had been classed as surplus. Inquiry in Washington brought a statement from high navy authorities that the list was only tentative, and was being revised dally. It was brought out at that time that the Astoria air station was -definitely to be continued,- indicating the danger of jumping to conclusions on the basis of the published list, as was apparently done by the Mail Tribune. From this corner, it appears that no decision has been made as yet regarding the long-time future of the Marine Barracks. Until that is done,! talk about it is conjecture and should be recognized in that category. r :.vj . ;: .:.. Smaller Hospitals Programmed THE Mall Tribune, in another paragraph in '.its story, quoted a veterans' administration statement to the effect that new hospitals would be built "only near the country's largest cities where the nation's top-ranking medical, surgical and dental men were already grouped." Here again the Mall Tribune drew an erron eous conclusion. We have before us a copy of a statement given out by Maj. Gen. J aul R. Hawley, acting surgeon general of the veterans' administration. We quote: ; ' "There is another misconception that should be dispelled. This is that we plan to build ONLY around medical centers. This is NOT -, true. Our program includes a generous pro- portion of smaller hospitals to be built in -smaller communities to be - of greater con venience to the veteran. We think, we can staff these smaller- hospitals with full-time doctors, because they will not require, the large number of specialists of all- kinds that are required for the larger hospitals. . Perhaps 80 per cent of all cases can be handled well in . these smaller hospitals , . ." (The emphasis on "only" and "not" is General Hawley's.) That is plain enough. It shows why Klamuth Foils was chosen as location for a veterans hospital. . The planned development here fits squarely Into the veterans' administration pro gram as outlined by General Hawley. .' The other day the Eugene Register-Guard quipped on Page One that if you're in need of Vitamin D, you re wrong if you look lor it in Oregon. The idea was that Eugene had gono a whole month without a sunshiny day. Now over on this side ,of the mountains we grow very weary of the way Oregon is pub licized as a wet and sloppy state. That's west ern Oregon. East of the mountains there is more winter sunshine and a lot more country for the sun' to shine on. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 A few of the bravest administration congressmen said t God loves everyone and the British loan agree ' ment is a good one, immediately after it was announced. The suspicious or knowing congressmen roundly denounced it. But the bulk bucked and ran when they saw newsmen coming to seek comment. These detected a high aroma of unpopularity about the whole affair wafted in the first puff of the news from the state department. They did not know much of its vast unfathomable rami fications. What they knew, they did not like. And the deeper they went into it, the less they liked it. It was so bad few wanted to be connected with it one way or another. 1 Indeed its sponsors, in the sacred halls of the department, were not eager' to champion the success of their negotiations in congress. They rather made plain they would welcome a delay at least until parliament has acted on the Bretton Woods agreement, and would not press for approval until after the Christmas holidays. Modest Enthusiasm IF Britain turns down Bretton Woods, our sensationally modest official enthusiasm for this thing, will be revised downward. The first superficial examination of the pro position by the congressmen was enough for most. We are to lend Britain far more than her whole cancelled first World War debt. The amount to be advanced is $3,750,000,000 while the old war debt still owed is $2,331,000,000, less than two thirds as much. The only way we can raise this money is by borrowing from our people. The Interest charge to us is not less than 2H per cent. The loan to the British carries only two per cent. But we must pay our people interest from tne date of the loan. For the British, interest will not starf until five years, at least so the publicity said. Actual ly her interest payments will not start until five years after December 31, 1946 more than six years hence. . The British permanent underchancellor of exchequer. Sir Edmond Bridges, succeeded in slipping the extra year In at the lost moment. Britain can use this money anyway she chooses. The pub licity put stress upon her likll hood of buying American pro ducts. This is but one purpose among many specified. The others are so brood as to per mit her to spend tho sums through her treasury onywoy she wishes. Simultaneous announcement was made by Mr. Attlee to pur liument that, of course, he was going ahead with tho socializa tion of Britain, To buy coal mines, utilities and other busi nesses, he will issue bonds to his people, but not delayed ac tion bonds. No one con glvo me offhand the cost, of British socialization but it will be cer tainly $3,750,000,000 added to British exchequer obligations. Use Of Our Money THE use of our money to pro tect the British financial pos ition permits the socialist ex periment. Otherwise that added debt could not be carried, judg ing from the official British statements bf her financial plight. But on our loan, we get noth ing for five years (what will happen in this atomic age by then?) while Britain can draw the money as she wants It.: This is, strangely enough the best feature of the deal. It gets worse from here on. The lend lease deal is almost un believable. Britain owes us about $25,000,000,000 under what Mr. Roosevelt deceptively called "lend lease," Now it is officially said this money and goods were neither loaned nor leased. Mr, itoose velt had a provision for repay ment in kind, so we could at least get some of our equipment back for use or scrap. That is forgotten in the current ar rangement. Britain gets the title to every thing we have given her for what the agreement calls a pay ment of $50,000,000 to $700, 000,000. This is not a "pay ment." We merely add it on to the loan which is to start be coming a loan six years after the money is paid. Actually Britain pays nothing unless or until she pays the new loan 56 years hence. In short we throw away $25,000,000,000 of debt for a new debt of $50,000,000 to $700,000,000," to begin in six. years. We Get Promises WHAT do we get? We get promises. Nothing definite about anything. No time limit or signed specific plan of im mediate action. We get a hope of negotiating the abandonment of the various gypping arrange ments by which Britain has SIDE GLANCES Tutidny, Dc. 11 1B45 The World f Today By Dswrrr mckenzie AP Foreign Affairs Analyst LONDON, Deo.: 11 War has brought England- a heavy - in crease in divorces, most of which .have been based on infidelity, ana in aaaiuon to those that actually have reached the courts there has been a flood of matri monial upsets which have been adjusted, through ' the kindly offices - etlea; : This seems MaeKENZIE so contrary to the ultra-conserva- ... w.ia.isv.n V, lilt, u.liuu, Will '. fllwnvn rintt Vipon nvoreA tn ranch ing family linen' in public, that ' in searching for reasons ' one naiurauv comes un against tne question whether there has been nmr Ahanaa In mnral atenlaiirla Mrs. Mac and I have been , delving Into this highly Impor tant suoject in many places, in cluding, the crowded tenement district of South London, and .have talked with three British experts one military and two civilian who are engaged in handling thousands of so-called "poor nerson's cases." that is. the cases of folk who haven't enough money to finance litiga tion -wifhnnt nirl. Slump in Conduct This widely experienced trio agrees that a slump in John Bull's moral standards is not among the reasons for the in crease in divorce. There ob viously has been a slump in con duct, due to the extreme circum stances created by the world con- nict out the moral outlook is held to remain about the same. If this seems paradoxical, in view of the fact that most of the divorce cases are based on adultery, it may be explained by the fact that atomic age society reveals what it used to conceal. When I first came to England during the last war, England as . a whole regarded divorce as a disgrace, quite apart from the religious condemnation of it. Then, too, there was the code . which held that . Caesar's wife must be above reproach, but that Caesar himself could raise a fair amount of devil with out rebuke. - ., - Separate Divorcg Laws There was one divorce law for men and another for women. These were based on the theory that the man was lord and master of the family by divine : right, , and that by the same token he could do no wrong through infidelity. A husband could divorce his wife for misconduct, but she couldn't divorce him on that ground. No fearl She had to prove some other matrimonial offense in addition to infidelity. The law coolly held that it was the husband's prerogative to sow as many wild oats as he wished. : But heaven help the married woman who stubbed her toe. .
