We are now on top of the Victory Loan situation. A whirlwind finish, stimulated by the queen contest, appeals to the county's pride, and the fundamental tendency of peo ple here to support the whole war loan program, came to the rescue of a project that ' looked pretty discouraging for - a while. Our congratulations to EPLET Tommy Thompson and the people who worried and worked with him. They've got a grand and glorious feeling right now, and they have It coming. - Not So Good UNFORTUNATELY, no such happy report can be made about the community fund. It is just as bad off as it was a couple of weeks ago when we remarked about the lag ging drives. The. quota is about $71,000. The last report showed about $45,000 contributed. The contrast between the success of the Victory Loan campaign and the imminent fail ure of the community fund campaign is not flattering to the attitude of Klamath people on matters that require outright giving. . . War loan totals represent investment money people will get back, with interest. They represent little, if any, sacrifice. The com munity fund calls for outright contributions money out of pocket for worthy causes, money that represents' generosity, charity, unselfish ness. In that department, we haven't done so well. It's Here, All Right ' AiB have at in meetin8 in which people ' VV u8 deep for every possible excuse for the failure of the community fund drive. A favorite one is that the money is not here that strikes and other conditions have simply eliminated the availability of cash for giving. . That's plain hooey, when applied to the . whole picture. ' 1 -The state liquor store here does one of the biggest businesses In the whole of Oregon. We can't; estimate the amount, but we know that ; large sums are spent here every week, in gambling. 'The houses of entertainment are jammed to the rafters. Expensive sports are highly popular. . ' To say that people here are so bad off they ' haven't a cent for anything but necessities, and can't afford to give further to the Girl Scouts, 1 Boy Scouts, USO, Salvation Army, and other worthy causes, is a classic example of the stuff that is colloquially called an unprintable name. We do not question that there are numerous individual Instances in which financial circum stances prevent further giving. But that can't be applied to the community as a whole. The obvious evidences all point to the availability of plenty of free money here that ought to be shared now with the deserving causes repre sented by the community fund. Proposition HERE'S a sporting proposition to the holders of liquor consumer permits.1 We propose that every one of .them who reads this column sit down now and write a check' for the price of a good quart of whiskey and send it to the Klamath. Community Fund, 323 Main street, Klamath Falls, Ore. If ten of them will write us or call us up to say they have done it, The Herald and News will match those ten contributions. Those of us who have already given to the fund, no matter how much, can add that much more. And we are sure that hundreds of liquor permit holders haven't yet contributed a cent to the- drive. . How about it? ..' Today's Bible Reading From Epheiians IV I. THEREFORE, the prisoner of the Lord, I beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. There Is one body, and one spirit, even as ye re called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who Is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace ac cording to the measure of Uie gift of Christ . , Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted. forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's take hath forgiven you. News Behind The News Bf PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 The defense of the British loan deal Is that there are only three things which can be done with the British: A Prop them up. B Let them fall. C Let the Russians take them. On Uiis basis the project is being sold to the reluctant and discouraged congress and will increasingly be sold. This is the argument which is planned to win congressional approval, and it probably will. At this writing, a de layed acceptance of the plan, without material amendment, seems likely. In its details, the arrangement is indefensible. A careful reading of the agreements will show that upon practically every agreed point, the British have contrived an ' escape clause or phrase in short, an out. In the matter of interest payments, for ex ample, these will be waived unless British trade averages more than in 1936-38 for five proceeding years. Also, the British are to try to do something about the sterling discrimina tion pool against the dollar, but will only "make every endeavor" to do so. They agree to "relax," not stop. Again, they agree to discuss a new, de luxe, super Bretton Woods arrangement to create a world trading and monetary system; they agree to work with us for this "international trade organization" at a world conference next year. But nothing definite is provided beyond the "discussion" stage. Again they promise to pay perhaps $750,000, 000 in settlement of the "lend-lease" (how ironical those two words sound now) but only $50,000,000 is to be cash within five years, and we will not take this money, but will use it to build educational or other institutions in the British Empire. Legal Escape THERE is hardly a line in this agreement which is not hedged thus with a legal escape. For this, we are to throw $3,750,000,000 more after the $25,000,000,000 of "lend-lease" we are cancelling off thus giving them title to remaining planes, guns, trucks, typewriters and what not, without trying to get the materials back for scrap or use. (Army claims we al ready have more than we can sell or use in surplus property, but they are thinking of peace, not yet restored.) The best objective world finance authorities tell me the British carefully carved their ex cuses in advance, because they cannot expect to repay this "loan" any more than they could pay our war advances, given away under "lend lease." They have no raw materials on their island except coal. They cannot produce without raw materials, and they cannot pay for the . materials except by production. With their prospects they would have dif ficulty getting anyone to say their amortization plan for this "loan" is sound. They can win a respite against fate with our money, but their 55-year future does not justify the deal fi nancially. What Could We Do? BUT what could we do? The Byrnes people are already asking the senators in private. The senators are saying we could have taken title to the equipment we have given them and used it for. storage against the future or scrap; we could have taken payment in ma terials of which our own stock piles are low; we could have acquired territories needed for raw materials and for civilian and military world air bases. In short, we could have reached a fair and ' good business settlement "in kind," and closed the books on this endless dumping of the pro duct of our toil into Britain these last 30 years. We could have reached a final settle ment. ' As it is, we have left the books open, to furnish more money when this "loan" is gone and cannot be repaid money which really rep resents the sweat of our workmen, because our treasury has no "money" except as it drains that source. We could wisely have prepared ourselves with territory, stock piles and power for a new barter world of trade (which, is coming as surely as borrowed international money is never repaid). We could have won the peace with this deal. The Byrnes people come back and say: ; We have thrown $250,000,000,000 into this war, without taking anything but world's head aches. What is $3,750,000,000 more? The deal is done now. Take it or leave it ' As I say, I think congress may take it,, but not enthusiastically. ' SIDE GLANCES oora. IW tV MCA tic, ma T.M.O.U.riT..

Dec. 12 T h e heavy increase in divorce in Eng. land represents in large degree the opening of the floodgates to the accumulation of grievances between the soldier over seas and his missus back home. We don't need to mince words. There's been a lot of u n faithfulness on both sides. The majority of the petition ers are sol diers but this certainly- doesn't mean that the wives have been more unfaith ful than their men Tommy Atkins sometimes has a naive outlook on this sort of thing. For instance, many mar ried soldiers don t consider that they've committed adultery by associating with an unmarried lady of professionally easy vir tue, xou gei mat slant on the young man in the divorce court, Adultery Before his case comes up for trial. Tommy likely will swear to his attorney with great fervor that he hasn't committed adul tery. This is an important point in English law, because if a peti tioner is guilty of misconduct, and doesn t make it known to the court in advance, the case is thrown out. Well, Tommy gets on the stand and his wife's law yer demands: "Do you mean to swear that you Haven't had any relations with a woman since you've been overseas?" To this the astonished young man retorts: "Of course I've had relations with women. Who hasn't? But that isn't adultery so long as they aren't married-." It then takes a powerful lot of explaining to make Tommy un derstand that he has violated the law just as much as has his wife whom he is suing. This means that his case will be dismissed unless the court gives leave to amend the petition. Mrs. Mac and I have dug deep into the reasons for the inrroa in divorces, and the chief cause probably has been the protracted separation necessitated by the husband's duty overseas. inis nas been a long war, and the soldiers have been away from their wives in most cases between 40 and 48 months with out leave at home. And there have been more men in forelun service than eves before In Brit ish history. Naturally this has contributed to immorality. It has given more cnance lor oiavinu about Probably if there had been no separation there would have been no divorce. Coifthouse Records Marrlkf License MATTER -HE UP.
