Chinas Active Chinese representatives were making frienas among the dele Kates from other nations and Pao Hua-kuo, former director of the bureau of social affairs of the Chungking municipality and government delegate, revealed China's objective in the confer ence. "We are seeking race equality for Chinese seamen," he told newsmen. "There is no reason why the Chinese should not get equal pay and the same living accommodations as other sea men." Pao expressed the hope that the conference would support the Chinese' demands. Regarding the proposal, which shapes up as the conference's hottest issue, the question of an international wage minimum for able seamen, Pao said he would support the proposal "in princi pal."

This makes a total of $7,84S.39 spent at the Fair Grounds. During that same per iod of time the City Band'and other bands received $2,292.50. In 1937 and 1938 , the Drum Corps of Klamath Post No. 8, received $680.00. In 1942 the Troop En tertainment Committee received $1,000.00, and in 1943, $3,326.13 was turned over to the Commandos. In 1944 Klamath Post No. 8, American Legion received $2, 500.00 for a Veteran's Service Officer, which was invested in War Bonds, because plans for a county wide Veterans Service Officer to aid all returning Veterans in this area, did not materialize because the Government established the Veterans Administration Office in this city. The Legion is holding this money for this pur pose when the need arises. Nothing has been paid to the directors or the Legion members who have worked for ten years free. The above dates and figures and many others are open for public inspection by any authorized persons wishing to do so. It has been intimated that the Community Enterprise which motivated this com mittee has not been followed of later years. We ask the public if after reading this report whether the Legion has kept faith with the community. When the business men and merchants of this city first asked the American Legion to put on a Rodeo celebration whereby they would furnish the capital and the Legion furnish the man power, was it done as a community project? The true answer Is that everybody was leaving town and the community was dead over the 4th of July week, and in sponsoring this rodeo, the merchants hoped to keep its citizens at home and also draw outside trade for their own business interests, as well as providing enter tainment for their community, and securing relief from the yearly donation for a 4th of July Celebration. The Buckaroo Days committee has worked long and hard during this last 10 years to help furnish this community with a good rodeo-' celebration during the July 4th week, and not one of iU directors, who must be members of the American Legion, has ever received any remuneration 'whatso ever for his services. The rank and file of the Legion has also worked hard these past 10 years, without any remuneration whatsoever, except for the Minouncer and announcing system. It has also been intimated that a few of the merchants who donated funds to sponsor the rodeo in the early days are not satisfied with the way the money has been spent and that they should be reimbursed for this contribution which was about the amount they donated yearly for a 4th of July Celebration prior to the Buckaroo Days, and if it were not for the Buckaroo Days he would contribute this amount each year. The American Legion would like to have the names of any merchants or business men who feel they have not received full value. It is also rumored up and down Main Street that the Buckaroo Days has some $12,000.00 cash in reserve. With the exception of a fewJhundred dollars in the General Fund used for operating expenses, what reserve fund they have is in War Bonds and like any sound responsible business, is held in reserve as a sinking fund in case of an amergency due to bad weather or other cause beyond our control. One bad year rould entirely wipe out this reserve and the merchants would have to put up an other guarantee fund if they wanted the present rodeo to continue. To ran a rodeo takes a world of time.skill and manpower throughout the year as well as at Rodeo time. If the Legion were paid at present prices for the services which they now donate, it would represent $6,500.00 this year. I3 it fair to say that the Legion is running this show only for itself when it is donating $6,500.00 a year to the Community Service in this one activity alone? The American Legion has always been and still is willing to cooperate to the fullest extent in continu ing their interest and service in the Community Welfare, and we think it is unfair that criticism has been made of our president and directors of the Buckaroo Days Association until both sides of the story have been heard and the facts checked.
