Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
SOME time ago, comment was made here
about two compaigns in which Klamath
was then lagging badly the Victory Loan
. drive and the Community
Fund campaign.
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. '

LONDON. 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.
