into action. 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

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

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!

"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.
