Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
ABOUT this time of year, It has become
customary in this column to take a quick
look back at the shipping season in Klamath's
remarkable potato Industry, it
seems that it is always worth
comment, and certainly so this
year.
Figures given elsewhere in
a news story show that the
basin shipped more than 12,
000 carloads of potatoes to
markets in the 1945-46 season.
These are in addition to some
2000 carloads which remain
In the area for local con-
Gumntinn nr for Rperl.
The above-12,000 figure on trtLi
carlot shipments is somewhat surprising, for
the advance official estimates were for about
11,600 carloads. About a year ago, when in
cessant rains had badly hampered planting and
rotted a lot of planted seed, it seemed im
possible that this year's shipments could be
even close to 12,000. But there are the figures,
right off Ross Aubrey's little black book.
And up go the value estimates on the 1945-46
crop. When Charley Henderson put out his
agricultural income tabulation for 1945 a few
weeks ago, he set the potato crop value at $9,
929 672.
On the basis of what has happened late in
the season, he has raised his sights. The new
figure is $10,250,000.
a a
20 Years Growth
NOW, let's go back over 20 years of potato
growing history in the Klamath basin.
The official figure for potato shipments in
1925-26 was 135 carloads. The value of the
crop that year was $181,666.
Klamath farmers planted spuds on 1142 acres
in 1925, whereas, 20 years later, they planted
28,098 acres to this crop.
But it wasn't just acreage increases that
brought potato production figures skyward in
those two decades.
- The government figure on per acre produc
tion in 1925 was 101.4 bushels.
The figure for the 1945 crop year was 340
bushels.
a a a
Stability
THE lumber industry of this area looks ahead
to at least several months of stabilized
labor conditions, as a result of negotiations with
both unions in the past few weeks.
Wage increases of 5 cents an hour have been
agreed upon for both CIO and AFL employes.
In the case of the AFL, the recommended agree
ment states the purpose is to set wages until
Jan. 1, 1947, while the CIO set-up names April
1, 1947 in the same connection.
In a time of considerable industrial trouble
and production blocks, it looks as if the Klam
ath industry is set to go right on sawing wood.
That is good news for everybody.
Earl Warren's remarkable political feat in
California will make him a marked man in
consideration of the presidential possibilities for
1948. It seems inevitable his name will pop up
in any discussion of that situation.
electorate to challenge the grasp of the com
munists for controls. Earlier the socialists had
been the most important challengers of com
munism. Now the communists are trying to arouse
anti-Catholic sentiment by calling this new chal
lenge a religious movement, and attributing it
largely to the Catholic church, but it is not
religious in nature. The issues it raises are not
religious in character and of no religious sig
nificance except in common resistance to state
ism as a religion, which has been atheistic in
character. There are no available forces of
Christian democracy in France, Italy and much
of western Europe, outside the Catholic church,
to which the bulk of the Christian population
adheres. But this bulk includes many socialists
and indeed is unified politically only in its re
sistance to communism.
a a a a
Communist Tactics
THE only change in truth then is the growth
of the power of Christian democracy in
this bulk. The socialists had heretofore dem
onstrated the greatest political power against
the communists, but they compromised their
position by collaboration in France and else
where. In this accurate consideration of the matter,
it would then be a serious mistake for us to
fall for the communist propaganda and mis
interpret the precise nature of results which are
going our way at long last, and give them a
religious nature as the communists and their
propagandists wish us, thus furnishing water
on their wheel against our own best interests.
The communists are simply centering their at
tack upon the Catholics, in order to have their
own resistance joined by other religious de
nominations such as Protestants and Jews not
only in Europe but throughout the world.
Behind the simultaneous report of the United
Nations committee investigation on Spain lie
the same discernible strings. The report pe
culiarly held that Spain's Franco was not a
menace to world peace now but would be
when the U.N. assembly meets in September
(for reasons not stated), and he should be kicked
out then. Now there are few believers in
Christian principles in Spain who also are not
Catholics, but Gibralter is more important to
the world than Spain in the matter of peace.
As Gibralter will still be there presumably
in September, the report drawn by the chair
manship of a British possession, Australia,
created much perplexity. Indeed, inspired
stories immediately came to the press from
responsible American diplomats that the com
mittee had exceeded its authority in recom
mending action because it was appointed to
find the facts about how much of a threat to
world peace Franco really was.
Few authorities think Britain will join the
UNO to rout Franco by the provided means
(bombers, etc.) or others so soon and thus open
another nation to Russia, which, if it came to
power in Spain, would sit upon the biggest link
in the British lifeline. A growth of a Christian
democratic movement in Spain, which would
assure some future moderation, is unquestion
ably what is needed first

WASHINGTON, June 6 The European
elections have projected a new political
course for the western half of the continent
The surprise in France was the growth of the
popular republican movement which is best
described as Christian democracy (parliamentar
ianism, freedom for all parties, individual lib
erty), and thus represents the same trend as
the unexpected size of the vote for the mon
archy in Italy and the successes of the Catholic
centrists and Christian democrats in Holland
a few weeks earlier. In each instance, a similar
new political force came rising up out of the

fHETHER this development had anything
do with the resignation of the im
mediate father of UNO, Edward Stettinius, as
our man in its leadership, is subject to legi
timate speculation because it developed immed
iately after the report My personal opinion
is that there are American and British diplo
mats who have found the promised incessant
haggling with the Russians as hardly a desir
able life prospect. Some may feel there is no
future in it, in view of the stand of the Rus
sians resisting compromises common to western
civilization. I do not know what the life in
surance rates on diplomats dealing with the
Russians runs now, but I do know some men
who have found it far from conducive to

to hold Mr. Truman to a personal promise to
let him go when the organization got definitely
under way.
The election results demonstrate only that
political arguing with the communists is enter
ing a new phase, in which our viewpoint is
more powerfully represented, but do not bring
settled conclusions within easy sight. Also
demonstrated is the fact that in free and open
elections the communist program has widely
lost popularity since the end of war. Even in
adjoining Czechoslovakia Russia barely squeezed
a majority.
The World
Today
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
aw , i r u , t
Those two bitter political op
ponents England's ruling social
ists and the conservatives whom
they unseated in the last general
election have found common
ground in their fear that, as
former Prime Minister Churchill
puts it "the seeds of a new
world war are being sown" in
the areas under Russian influ
ence in eastern Europe.
This general theme was em
phasized by both parties in the
full-dress debate on foreign
policy in commons the past two
days. Foreign Minister Ernest
Bevin began with the statement
that permanent peace in Europe
could be guaranteed "only if
Russia enters freely into the
European settlement." He added
that one of the greatest obstacles
to peace is that Russian diplo
mats appear to believe that "the
security of Russia can only be
maintained when every country
in the world adopts the Soviet
system."
Churchill Rampant
Churchill, who has been rid
ing the socialists hard under the
lash of his clever tongue, took
the floor and declared in hand
some terms that the government
had made "an important con
tribution to world peace" by a
"resolute denunciation of com
munism." He praised Bevin as
''a representative of much that
is wise and courageous in the
British character."
This solidarity of viewpoint
between England's political ex
tremes is significant of their
mounting concern over the con
tinued communist thrust west
ward. It has taken the approach
of the towering red tidal wave
to bring the socialists and tories
together but together they
stand in this crisis.
By coincidence or otherwise
the British debate on foreign
policy came as France had just
finished another general election
and Italy was voting on the ques
tion ot wneiner it snouid retain
the monarchy or have a republic.
Both these countries are vital
strategic theaters in the Euro
pean set-up, and in both of them
the real Question at stake has
been the extent of the communist
strength, which has been de
veloping under an intensive and
systematic red drive.
Franc Moves to Right
In France the communists
sustained a set-back and there
was a moderate swine to the
right. In Italy the people chose
a repuouc ana me king is leav
ing his native land. The middle-
of-the-road Christian democrats
came out well on top, with the
socialists second and the com
munists close behind.
However, the important point
to reinemoer is mat communism
retains great strength in both
r ranee ana Italy, That s a fact
of moment to western dem
ocracy, and especially to Britain
wmcn is standing in the path OX
that red tidal wave.
William II was England's
only bachelor king.
