Tulelake homestead drawing ceremonies. To the applicant, it was some thing like sitting it out through a commencement address, wait ing for that diploma but in this instance, there was the added suspense that there weren't enough diplomas to go all the way around. It was uniortunate, of course, that so many of the talks started with apologies for somebody else who couldn't be there and who had named the speaker as his representa tive. That is always a de tracting feature, and in this EPLEY case, able as those representatives were, we feel it was traceable to a deplorable under-estimation of the significance of the occasion by certain; high-placed officials. The reclamation bureau itself might well have: had its commissioner,. Michael Straus, on liand for the first opening of reclamation land to World War II veterans. Now that we've gotten those sour morning after remarks off the old chest, let's say that as a whole it was a grand party, well planned,' smoothly and fairly conducted, and with re- suits that point to a fine group of new young landholders for the great Klamath basin com munity. Sound Talk AS to the speeches, some very fine things were said, and as an example, let's take a look at the text of the statement read by Laurence W. Carr, Bedding attorney and of- . ficial representative of Gov. Earl Warren of California at the drawing ceremonies. Speaking for the governor, Mr. Carr said: "Here a grateful nation is rewarding its men whose sacrifices so recently brought us this greatest of victories. This nation, however, is not merely giving some veterans a chance to become owners of valuable public land. You are being given an opportunity to become self reliant, independent, American farmers an op portunity to join that great army of men and women who pursue a most noble and honorable profession. "We observe today the American tradition of . "public land to the returning service man,' but the importance of the traditional policy of "public land to the veterans," which is being carried out here today. Is dwarfed by the im portance of another national land policy which is in evidence on this occasion. That other policy is the encouragement and establishment of family-type resident owned and operated , farms on newly irrigated areas through the wise application of the federal reclamation law. This fundamental policy a vital part of the reclamation law was valiantly defended in its early history by an eminent congressman. -who came from among you, the late Judge John E. Baker of Modoc county. ' "The congress then knew, as we now .know, that one of the greatest bulwarks against the destruction of democracy by false philosophies of government is the love of freedom possessed by the average American farmer living on his own family farm." - . , . Well said, we think. ' . Of Proven Worth A MAN who spoke for himself, and did it well, was Nelson Reed, chairman of the homestead examining board. He told briefly of the trying work of the board in a situation in which the amount of land is limited and the number of deserving veterans myriad. "At least, . give us your sympathy," he said. - Mr. Reed emphasized that the land at stake in the drawing is not raw and untried, but land which has already been successfully farmed and has proven worth. in. these quarters to have turned into what might be a losing game. It is on a possibly falling basis, they say. A peace deal with Rus sia, to be successful, must be on a mutually genuine basis which would open up Russia as much as Russia has opened up. The Byrnes program falls short of that objective. It opens all the outside world to Russia, but does not open to the world. Russia may fix standards for us and for the world, but the world can fix no standards for Russia. Communism may pene trate the entire world, but the world is not to penetrate communism. The validity of this feeling can best be un derstood in the action on disarmament in which case Mr, Byrnes is not entirely defense less: indeed the republicans are equally if not more directly responsible as Chairman Austin is republican. If you will read the disarmament program of the general assembly of all the nations you will see it "recommends that the security coun cil give prompt consideration" . . . that it "urges expeditious fulfillment" . . . that it recommends the council "expedite considera tion" . . . and so on, in connection with every single point excepting one. The program obvi ously then is but. spur to the council of Big Five and selected smaller nations, and action must come from them including Russia, in thetuture. Suggestions. News Behind The News " By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Dec: 19 Behind the printed rumors that Mr. Byrnes might resign as state secretary (he denied them officially) is the feeling in some quite lofty quarters that his accomplishments in New York left some, large Vacant holes which are not invisible. The entire Byrnes agreement plan is judged NOW the assembly laid down these following suggestions: That the council try to regulate and reduce arms through multilateral (many nations) treat ies. This hardly suggests disarmament around the corner, but is rather made a question for regotiation. More definite is the next point which says an "essential step" is to prohibit the atomic bomb. As a practical matter, we have t! .. bomb; the rest of the world does not have it. To pro hibit it now, would prohibit our weapon, to the obvious advantage of the rest of the world, and particularly of the only threatening nation Russia, which does not have atomic bombs. Next point suggests withdrawal of troops from occupied enemy territory especially when the occupied nations do not want the troops. As a practical matter, Russia can control the wants of the enemy territory she has seized: but we may not It would be quite a simple procedure for Russia to have her satellites de mand retention of Russian troops: while the infiltrated communists agitate in our zones for withdrawal of ours. Conceivably then Russia could force withdrawal of . our troops from Europe while hers stay. But Byrnes has said we have 550,000 troops abroad, and Bevin announced Britain has less than one million at home and abroad, while Russia has not been penetrated on this point at all. Indeed she opposed adoption of the clause to reveal home armies, showing boldly she did not wish to be opened at home on the question of disarmament, but as interested in disarming the rest of the world. That opposed provision was nevertheless adopted. There will come the rub. Byrnes, no doubt, - believes he can pene trate into the isolation of Russia and ascertain her home armies. Russia does not think so, obviously and in the end this matter will be up to the security council upon which Russia wields her greatest world power. . Thus instead of Russia coming forward gen uinely, or with equal generosity (no more), she has secured adoption of a resolution which she i could use to extend her revolution throughout the world. Bigger Hole BUT she has contrived a larger hole even than any of these. If the atomic bomb is pro hibited immediately and the . disarmament is thrown into future negotiations of the security council as the program specifies the United States will be disarmed of its superior weapon before anyone else disarms, if ever. This action by the atomic commission before action by the security council on general disarmament would react solely to the critical disadvantage of the -United States. Thus future actions will deter mine the basic value of the agreements. It is only natural then that Molotov said the New York progress steps "are as satisfac tory to the Soviet delegation as they are to other delegations." To what use he might put his opportunities for advantage, he indicated by furnishing the largest vacant spot of all in his farewell message to the United States.

It was quite significant he said nothing about Christmas whatsoever, although the next holiday is that coming day, while the new year will not come until after. I hope there was nothing equally significant in his new year wish, which he rendered in the Russian words, hoping for us "nogo godu." I hope that does not mean what it says in English.

Detective Lt. Paul Beckwith said that Maddox's dive cli maxed a quarrel with Ms moth er. Mrs. Pearl Webb, in their apartment last night. . She screamed for police. They found Maddox lying on the pave ment, his head in a pool of blood. A detective went upstairs to talk to Mrs. Webb. When he re turned, the body was gone, "Wasn't he dead?" the detec tive asked. "On the contrary." a policeman replied. "He walked away from us when we weren't watching and we -had to bring him back to the ambulance." Hartford hospital authorities said Maddox's condition was "good," but added that he would be kept under observation for a few days to make sure he wasn't injured internally. Freight Boost Meet Slated SALEM.

President Truman's statement regarding China constitutes both a warning to the ombattled fac tions there and an answer to Russia. First of all is notice to the Chinese that the wurld expects them to get together, coupled with the offer ot a prize It they do. The inference is that urn for economic development will not be forthcoming until they do. Second is word to the Rus sians thut they have been mak ing mountains out of molehills about American troops in China; tiiat they have been removed as rapidly as repatriation ot Japa nese prisoners would permit, and that now only-a handful remain. Also that sales of surplus ma terials to China has not Included arms. The statement apparently was issued mainly to help General Marshall get under way with new effort to bring the nation alists and communists together In a "broadened" government. Hut it also suggests additional possibilities If he fails. U. 8. Help The United States has been working alone In trying to help establish a stable China because of special ties between the two countries, lt 'has been going on (or some years. But now the United Sluice has a new over-all policy of working on such mat ters through the United Nations. And Mr. Truman says continued civil strife in China is a threat to world peace. As such it would be subject to action by the Unit ed Nations.- And that might be embarrassing to the central gov ernment. Not so much that the Kuomintang, attempting to steer an unorganized country through a war, adopted some or the methods of the European dicta torships, but more because it didn't seem too sorry about It. And because during the war, when America was fighting frantically to get war materiel through to Chiang's armies, we were having little success In really getting it used for some thing after it arrived. Elliott Roosevelt quotes his father as saying during the Cairo conference that he was trying to learn "more about the war that Isn't being fought, and why. Chi ang's troops aren't fighting at all. . . He claims they aren't trained, and -have no equip ment . . . but it doesn't explain why he's been trying so hard to keep Stilwell from training Chi nese troops. And it doesn't ex plain why he keeps thousands and thousands of his best men up in the northwest up on the borders of Red China.'1' At that time the communists were fighting. Maybe they were fighting only for their own ter ritory, and not for China. But they were killing Japanese. Nationalist Armies Now the nationalist armies are fighting on the far western flank of what has been- con ceived at General Mac Arthur's headquarters as a world-wide front against communists are feared to be the spearhead of Soviet Russia. The United States seems to feel that there is still a chance of including them in a unified China and ending this threat. Something about Presi dent Truman's emphasis-on our recognition of the Chiang gov ernment as representative of China, the general tenor of his statement perhaps more than specific phrases, indicates that he expects the responsible gov- BtBM NSWS.
