So 7a franca at tho moment. In Franco there la an odd-looking atrlka of railroad worker! odd looking becatu It are mi to have been precipitated by a "spon taneous'' work stoppage by about 10.000 employeea out of the total of 100.000 employed by the mate-owned railroad system of France. Th strike haa laolated Parla from rail transport, which Includea food. The French government haa author Ired truck llnea to haul food and passengers. It wouldn't be surprising If the next atep ni a truck atrlke. WE'D Ilka to believe that all these " things are Just happening."' But It la too much of a atraln on rredullty. It ta much more probable that tlirv are a part of a HA n t.HM and that the pattern la being cut by rtiuuia. Our people In Washington su. pect that the patten) la Russia's antwer to President Truman's Greek Turk policy. If made per. mancnt It would be a falrl effective anwrr. It Italy and France ahould fall to communism, along with what la al ready firmly In communist hands, ' Oreece and Turkey would be pretty badly laolated and the problem Involved In getting American help to -mem would oe grrnny multiplied. 4 WE'D feel a lot happier If Britain " were atronger. Everything we get from there confirm the belief that the British are adapting themselves to one-party government, baaed on regimentation, with too much tol erance and re ffnation to be raaa- aurlng. The British labor party lately haa been acting altogether too much like other one-party totalitarianism. We're beginning to fear that the J British might Just drift Into a regi- mented, one-party, leave-lt-to-the-government ayatem and atny there as niot of the reat of Europe haa. WITH ao much of Europe falling " under communist Influence with even Britain far leaa ruggedly Individualistic than In tho past- It behfDVra ua to make our system work better than It ever haa worked before., (It haa worked pretty well, everything considered, In the past.) The Russian aystem la WORKINO EFFECTIVELY NOW. It worka per fectly wherever chaoa exists, or nn be produced. The more complete the chaos, the greater the degree of human misery nnd hopelessness, the better It worka. Olven ENOUOH chaoa and misery and hopelessness, communism will awcer the world. . . UOPE la tho antidote to commu 11 nlam. If wo In America can Inspire enough hope throughout the world, we can lick communism without firing a shot. But If we fall Into tho slough of hopelessness and Just lot things slide, os it sometimes looks tike the British may be doing, the world will be In a bad wny, A lot depends on America. . -. .

More than a week of steady rain, at first welcomed by western farm ers, was beginning to hurt some crops now suffering from too much water. In the Klamath farming country, County Agent C. A. Henderson said today that the good points of the rnln still outweigh the bad In this sector, although in some cases grain and potatoes are suffering from too much moisture. Farmers who Irri gated the two crops during the drouth early this month find their crops at a standstill with grain making little progress and, In the cases of farmers who had not com pleted spring planting on potatoes, planting Is being held up because of the close-packed, soggy ground. Henderson also stated that crop dusting, particularly on grasshoppers In the Fort Klamath vicinity. Is halted. Spraying has little effect, he said, since the rain washes off the spray almost as soon as It Is dusted on the fields. The weekly weather and crop bulletin received by the county agent's office predict at least two more days of murky, rainy weather.

Travelogue . . . 45-Minute Trip Leads Through Farming Lands By H. 8. This week's travelogue details a brief trip you can take on Sunday afternoon or some night after sup per. You won't get on any bad roads and the trip will only take about a gallon and a half ot gas and 45 minutes of time. The trail leads through the Spring Lake, ML Laki and Henley districts, some of the best farming lands In Klamath county. Start out at Main street and go out East Main through Mills dis trict and onto Broadway, the boom ing four-lane highway section of 8. 6th street which is fast becoming a second major business district for Klamath Falls. Turn to the right at suburban Al tamont drive and take the straight hard-surfaced road that leads to the municipal airport, formerly the war time naval air station where pilots and crews received their final train ing before heading oversea. The airport is on a civilian status now, but the adjacent homoja hut village is testimony that Klamath's war-born housing shortage Is far from over. . You can get a different view ot the airport, which is a sprawling in stallation, by turning to the right at the main gate and turning left Just past the homoja hut settlement onto the Spring lake road proper. The road is good, although not paved.

You come out on the highway at Mt. Laki community and make a left turn to come back to town. The Henry Semon residence, a big two-story brick structure Just out- . , side of Henley community proper, ; is ample proof that farming in that area Is profitable.
