IF Oregon expects to take advantage of the
exceptional opportunity ottered in the Marine
aarracks as a veterans education center, it
iceds to get going with a def
nite request ior the property
md all that goes with it.
On Saturday, when mem
bers of the higher education
md emergency boards were
bero with Gov. Snell, we
icnscd too much of this sort
of thing: "What will the navy
let us have?" rather than
"Let's ask for everything."
When the education board
drew up a resolution, it said
It was "inclined to look with
favor" upon the plan.
The Oregon officials should shed this timidity.
It was proper for them to . look carefully
at the property and at the problems involved
in operating it, and to size these up alongside
the critical issue of providing facilities for
veteran education NOW.
Having done that, it is quite apparent that
the officials of the state are convinced the edu
cation plan for the BarracTts is a good idea.
Okch, then, go after it for bear!
Oregon has a public purpose of outstanding
worth for this valuable property. The navy
can turn it over to this state without any
question of its proper use for a public cause.
The state has a record for political integrity that
will be most helpful in this transaction. '
There has been a good deal of official con
versation about the "offer." This isn't so much
an offer as it is an opportunity something to
be seized by the scruff of the neck with both
hands. .
Not A Local Project
PERHAPS at this point it is well to say that
this Marine Barracks veteran education
plan has not developed as a local community
enterprise.
While the Lions club had constructively sug
gested use of the Barracks for educational pur
poses, the specific proposal for state use began
at the top, not locally. It came down to the
board of higher education through the gov
ernor's office.
The thing has statewide significance in con- .
nection with a statewide problem. It is not a
matter of "Klamath Falls trying to get some
thing." It happens that the military installation
in Oregon that is best adaptable to educational
purposes, due to the peculiar purposes of its
original mission, lies near this city.
At the same time, we say unhesitatingly that
the people of this community are ready to co
operate in any way to help make the project a
success if it is located here. Officials of the
Marine Barracks as a military installation can
and will testify, we believe, to local willing
ness and ability along that line.

VA And The Barracks
THE Veterans' Administration appears defin
itely to want the dispensary at the Marine
Barracks for temporary use as a veterans' hos
pital. Confirming a previous report to that
effect published first in this paper, General
Bradley has been quoted on the national wires
to the effect VA had, "agreed to take over 17
surplus army and navy hospitals, including
one not previously announced, at the Marine
Barracks, Klamath Falls, Ore."
The dispensary is only a small part of the
Marine Barracks plant, and its use by the VA
should not hamper the state program there.
In fact, several of the state officials in the
party here Saturday expressed the opinion that
this federal activity on the project might well
work to the benefit of the state in. a number
of ways, including financial.
For instance, it will spread utility costs, such
'as heating, between the state and the federal
government. Possibly a plan may be worked
out where the VA can furnish medical and
the usual "infirmary" service to the college
veterans on the project.
It is interesting that the Klamath Marine
Barracks, which rendered a most Important
war service, may now be used in providing
two of the principal things the public owes
its fighting men and women in the postwar
era medical assistance and education.
News Behind The News
Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 In complete of
ficial privacy, the state department has
spent some weeks getting UP a new statement
of American foreign policy. The only great
question of policy, of course, is how to treat
Russia. On this, the paper was not illuminating
in its original form.
The Byrnes policy established at Moscow and
London since mid-December, has been sub
stantially this: Press no point which would be
offensive to Russian claims. Retreat on policy
as much as possible and accept Russian con
tentions. The apparent but not professed pur
pose has been to entice Russia out of her na
tionalistic isolation into dealing in the world
of affairs.
This has kept world news rather calm but
events behind the news, particularly from Eu
rope, are working up boldly and may break sen
sationally. Do not, for instance, let yourself
be currently misled into believing the domina
tion of the' French government by communists
and socialists is a permanent arrangement, or
that the name of De Gaulle will remain forever
in retirement from French politics. Give great
er notice than has been given to the victory of
the Belgian Catholic party over both commun
ists and socialists. Belgium is half French,
with all the same elements of French politics
! ,!nioi ' Inrioeri thrnuffhout EuroDe. even
in Yugoslavia, the resistance to communism is
taking the only effective torm yei evmcut
in the gathering together of Catholic elements.
Firm Ideology
I HAVE heard American statesmen say these
Christian groups are the only ones in the
world todav who know how to resist com
munist, ideologically or politically. These groups
have a firm ideology themselves.
Britain was the first nation to talk up to
the Soviets, but the diplomatic resistance of
Bevin at the London UNO conference was
tactical rather than formidable. The Russians
had raised the question of British influence in
nrimarilv to cover their own tracks in
Poland, the Balkans, Iran, Turkey and other
places where they are attempting to extend
their influence, iney lorcea uriiain m ure
defensive by raising this question. . After ac
complishing this purpose, and succeeding in
getting UNO to allow Moscow to deal separate
lv with a nro-communism Iranian prime min
ister installed at Teheran for the purpose
Russia withdrew her Greek charges against
Bevin. The Indonesian charges she continued
to press, keeping Britain on the defensive.
The common current belief that Bevin may
have found a way of treating with Moscow,
therefore is unjustified. He twice passed "the
lie" to them and they backed down, true
enough. But when you add up the results, you
will see Russia won the action she .wanted
from UNO, while Bevin won nothing except the
red herring. Emulation of Bevin by us, then,
would not answer the question of how to
deal with Moscow.
President Truman, meanwhile, is recognizing
that the army seems to know how to get along
with the Soviets, without losing their shirts,
better than our timid and confused diplomats.
Interested In Results
ARMY men, by nature, should be more in
terested in results than in the political
ideas of justice for this and that, which have so
confused our-diplomats in recent years. (Latest
example: Joe Davies, who thinks Russian spying
on Canada justified, but no doubt would cry
out against any Canadian spying on . Russia,
whereas any realist knows all nations have
always spied on all others and always will.)
This new reliance on army realism is the
.most hopeful development in American foreign
policy, in contrast to these childish but pompous
accumulations of vaporous generalities the state
department plans to put out under the claim
that they are great state pronouncements. I
mean it is most important, if a recent pro
nouncement by Mrs. Roosevelt does not out-
measure it. Mrs. Roosevelt has been recognized
as a spokesman for the class-thought which
pressured Byrnes into the appeasement policy,
causing him to retreat from his resistance estab
lished at the London council of foreign min
isters last summer. She has counseled a giving
policy and believed realism to be red-baiting.
But to the American soldier in Germany, after
a little personal experience in dealing with
Russia herself at UNO, she gave this formula
for treating the communists:
Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your
beliefs as they stick to theirs. Work as hard
as they do.

BERLIN, Feb. 25 You have
to see the ruins of Berlin to get
even a smattering of the truth
about what the war has done
to the world's
fourth largest
city.
This column
the other day
described the
destruction of
the great Rhur-
land industrial
city of Essen,
which literally
was torn to
nieces bv
bombs but MacKENZIE
which still clings to life and,
amazing to relate, has a popula
tion of some 365,000 existing
among the ruins. Berlin is a
vastly magnified Essen mile
upon mile of heaps of rubble
and shattered walls which once
were homes, business houses,
churches and oublic institutions.
In this desolation are hundreds
of thousands of cave dwellers.
Of course, here and there you
see a building in which the dam
age is relatively slight. Mrs.
Mack and I have been living in
one of these. Children are go
ing to school in one of the worst
schoolrooms that youngsters
ever saw, and there are studying
their new denazified reacun ana
writin' and 'rithmetic. Courts
because they are given a ration
of food and fuel by civilized
conquerors. To be sure, some
Berlmers are engaged in gain
ful employment ior the occupa
tion authorities, but theso folks
are comparatively few, and their
earnings don't benefit them
greatly because there isn't much
to buy excepting ironi me uimn.
market lceciies who charge stag
gering prices. For the most part
you see these "cave" people try
ing to make their habitation)!
more livable, standing in queues
for their rations or making their
way out into the country to pick
up bits of wood In the forests
to supplement their slender fuel
supply.
Well now, you'd think theso
followers of Hillcrism were as
thoroughly beaten as a pcoplo
could be, and in one sense they
are. They are beaten physically,
and those who have undergone
the horrors of bombing and
actual battle are In" a very
chastened mood. But as I have
remarked in previous reports
from Germany, I don't believe
the Germans as a whole are
beaten mentally. When they re
cover from their shell shock and
economic chaos they will be
heading for further conquests
unless something elves them a
spiritual change meantime.
Different Situation
?The first time I was in Ger
many was at the end of World
War I. The difference between
the situation then and now was
that in the first conflict the
Germans didn't suffer actual
contact with war on their home
soil. They were in tho main
cabin Is occupied by Zclla Behnc.
Sunday the department true
was called out at 11:42 a. m.
when a false alarm was received
from Ewnuna Box company. At
0:24 p. m. the truck ran to tho
William Peoples' residence at
rm N. 3rd. when a flue fire
threatened the structure. There I
was little damage.
More than 200 new types of
