The larger cities were persuaded to withhold their efforts to secure competing service until Klamath Falls had been granted its air line connection with the rest of the world. Those few illustrations show what I mean when I say that the chamber turns wishful thinking on the part of a lot of individuals into well organized, intelligent action in the best interests of Klamath county. a Many Activities YOU can add from your own knowledge some reports on other chamber activities, such as helping get more refrigerator cars, assisting new and established industries, promoting tour ist travel, urging the planting of more fish and game birds, encouraging construction of private housing, securing the new veterans hospital, strengthening inter-city relations, securing high way development, watching state and national legislation (and acting in what seems to be the best interests of Klamath county), and all the mass of detail work carried on by the office, such as answering the community's mail, greet ing its visitors, giving information on a thousand subjects. There's plenty to tell about, Mac. We want people to know what we're doing, because then they'll be interested in becoming members. Just this morning one of our membership workers asked a prospect two questions: "Do you think Klamath county needs a cham ber of commerce? Then WHY SHOULDN'T WE ALL SUPPORT IT?" ' Guest Editorial ' By JOHN HOUSTON President. Klamath County Chamber of Commerce AS I see it, the chamber of commerce is an organization of persons interested in Klam ath county who band themselves together to accomplish those, objectives which they can reach more easily by united action than by individual effort. Doesn't that just about cover it? To put it another way, the chamber of com merce provides an agency to put into intelligent action the wishful thinking of the community. ' Take the Marine Barracks vocational school project, for example. The chamber of com merce has worked on this for a year without any fuss or publicity. Last Tuesday we got a major disappointment when an unfavorable re port was voted, but this wasn't the end of the matter. When a rehearing was granted, the chamber of commerce lined up ten of the com munity's strongest representatives to go to Salem. They made a fine presentation and gave the Barracks a new chance. The chamber put the community's wishful thinking into in telligent action! Going back to 1945 Just for the early stages of another matter, a CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board) examiner stated that air service should be granted to Klamath Falls, but that a small feeder line between here and Medford would be adequate. The community felt a surge of resentment, and people said something ought to be done about it. But what could any individual do? The chamber of commerce secured permission for two community representatives to appear before the CAB in Washington, presenting the case for Klamath Falls. Marshall Cornett and Phil Hitchcock did a fine job and the CAB (ranted main line service. ' Before this service could be started, an agi tation arose in some of the large coast cities to seek a change in the CAB ruling to give a competing carrier the right to operate from San Francisco to Portland. . If the CAB had granted a rehearing we might not have had air service in here yet! The chamber again furnished a means for community interest to be translated News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April a Moscow has turned out to be Versailles all over again. The French want more coal than Germany can pro duce lying prone economically. The Russians have taken over the former position of the British empire and want similar reparations beyond Germany's defeated capacity. And they both want to keep Germany inert economically so she cannot produce enough for herself. The game against us at Moscow is about the same as that of Clemenceau and Lloyd George, with Molotov in the role of Lloyd George and Bidault as Clemenceau, but just a bit more obvious. The United States is supposed to sup port Germany with food, occupation, relief, perhaps even money to get her industry started. Thus we are expected actually to pay the repar ations for defeated Germany. We put in (pres ent cost of occupation is supposed to be about $200,000,000 a year without other consideration), while they take out. a Not Kidding IF you wish to go all through that again, the Russian position might be accepted. What aided us in making fools of ourselves last time was an illusion that somehow our money and help would bring peace. That illusion is not visible this time in the reparations situation. These half-stated considerations are what lie behind General Marshall's rejection of the Soviet ultimatum on reparations. He said frankly no agreement at all was better than one like that. Marshall is not kidding. He is not playing diplomatic politics, rejecting some thing for effect and inwardly intending to com promise later. He means what he says. Unquestionably semiofficial sources say Mar shall has been prepared to get out of Moscow and return to this country by April 15. They expect some developments tending that way next week. The other unexpected development which might prevent fulfillment of this expec tation they say, is that the Russians would sud denly agree to some concessions which would let the conference continue in some other city, possibly in London or Paris, thus preventing the conference from openly arriving at the stalemate toward which it is headed. The Soviets might do this just to avoid the public opprobrium which would follow an apparent break-up. The World Today By DeWITT MacKENZlE AP For.lgn Affairs Analyst England has given no more impressive exhibition of deter mination to whip her economic crisis and defend her interests at home and abroad than we have just witnessed in the circum stances surrounding the passage of the peace time conscription bill through its second (and de cisive) reading in the house of commons. That measure is a live bomb, providing as it does for the call ing up of some. 200.000 men be tween 18 and 26 annually for service in the armed forces. It comes in the midst of a grave economic crisis. Britain is living in frugal austerity on borrowed money, and Its essential Indus tries are lagging because of lack of manpower. Moreover, owing to the short age of miners the country for weeks hat been without adequate fuel and light because of scarcity of coal. And to niako the cup ( misery overflow, England has been wading through hell and high water, due to unprecedent ed storms and floods. Prestige Maintained Could one imagine a tougher moment in which to present bill for the conscription of man power into the army, the navy and the alrforce? Yet the social ist government is determined to keep the country on an armed footing which will provide ade quate defense and maintain Britain's prestige as one of the Big Three. And in this emer gency the conservatives, who politically arc the mortal foes of the socialists, turned to and sup ported the government when It was (need with a split In its own party. What happened was that a considerable left-wing section ot the labor (socialist) party de serted the government over this issue enough so that Prime Minister Attlec's ministry might have been overthrown if the big conservative minority had joined with the socialist dlxsUletitg. But former Prime Minister Churchill led his followers into the fight for Atllee.with the result that the measure was adopted by a vote of 38tl lo 89 a result which doesn't show the full' extent of the leftist revolt, since qulto a bloc ot members rofused to vote, Conscription was opposed on several grounds. Those who fought it maintained that in dustry needs men nuiru than do the armed forces, that conscrip tion is Inconsistent with labor party policy, and that the cost ot the armed services Is excessive, Some extreme leftists also op posed it as being hostile to Rus sia,. rive Year Act The conscription act would run for five years and Defense Minister Alexander says that by 19M It would produce a trained reserve of 700,000. At present Britain has some 1,500,000 men on active service a tremendous fighting machine. The govern ment is trying to reduce this number to 1.000.000 by March 31. 1D4H still a great force. With till this evidence at hand, can any duubt that John Bull not only Is determined to sec his IIKRAI.U 4 NMVg. Klamath Valla. Ort. Tlll'ltn A V, April I. HIT. r.ie four crisis through, but that he has faith in hliuitdf. That's ques tion of vast Importance In these days when the world unhappily Is divided Into two camps, and Britain Is siding with America. Indications are that the British public In general Is united on foreign policy. This view Is strengthened by the bl-partistiil vole on the conscription bill, bo causo socialists and torlea are strange bed-follows under ordi nary circumstances. There are vast differences of opinion on how to hitndlu some Imperial problems India, for example but not so much where British foreign Intel eats are Involved. CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to our many friends for their kind ex- sessions of sympathy and leatttlful floral tributes tendered us during our recent bereave ment in the death of our beloved father, husband and brother.

OfNT-EASI STATIC By KELLY ROBERTS Delia Musselman, in front of whose house all the shooting took place the other evening, submitted the names of three songs on "What's the Name of That Song" over KFJI last night and won herself five bucks. At least we think she's from Klam ath Falls, even though Dud Wil liamson, who spent a summer here, announced her as from Kah-lamath Falls. a a a t All of which reminds us of some of the letters we receive here addressed to us in "Clam mer Falls, Clemmet Falls, Clement Falls, Claymouth Falls, Klamouth Falls, etc." In the olden days it was variously spelled,. "Clemmat, Clamath, Klamac, Clamet, Tlamath, Cla , mite, Clammittee, and Athla- meth." The word sounds In dian, but philologists are in clined to find its derivation in the French words "Clair-metis." meaning a light cloud or mist which was prevalent in the area in early times. It's a wonder more people don't get our fair land mixed up with Cathlamet, or Kalama, a pair of towns in Washington. a a a That's enough history for now, if you wish it continued you might listen in to Mac Epley's broadcasts each night. Mac is devoting five minutes on each program for an interesting side light on Klamath basin history. a a a The editorial office received a clipping this morning from the Miami, Florida, Herald, right from the land of sunshine, show ing the picture of the three little girls that were snapped by Wes Guderian and featured on our front page several days ago. The kids are shown lying out in the middle of some good old Klam ath sunshine, let it snow, let it snow. Get your suntan in the middle of a snowball fight, come to Klamath Falls! a "Should the Communist Party Be Outlawed in the United States" will be the topic to be discussed tonight over Town Meeting. Speaking will be Leo Cherne, the boy wonder from the Research Institute of Amer ica, and ex-governor Ellis Arnall of Georgia (down there, every body's an ex-governor) for the negative: and Senator Joe Mc Carthy of Wisconsin and Edward Arthur Hayes, a former Amer ican Legion commander. In Hillsida Purey Halvorsen, 5437 Cottage, employe of Kla math Lumber and Box company, is recovering satisfactorily at Hillside hospital following an attack of pneumonia.
