t PACI FOUR HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SATURDAY, JAN. 17, i ! I! t ! 1 am lor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLKY A MONO towns and localities of thii section of the slate, which bu the reputation for the most glamor and gets the most publicity thereby? Klamath, says Oeorge ureen. tlie editor of the Ashland Tidings, who was a visitor here yesterday. That was a rather surprising comment from a newspaper man of the Rogue River valley, which has a popular song written about It and which has proved an at traction to movie stars and other prominent folk seeking summer home sites. But George stuck to his conten tion when we mentioned those things. When you go to the San Francisco area, he said, and talk about being from Southern Ore gon, people are almost certain to ask if you live near Kla-" ,(h Falls. T.t said he has even been asked about those Klam ath pears! They all have heard of Klamath, and they surround It with a lot of glamor, said the Ashland newspaper man, whose report should be interesting to those local folks who are always complaining that Klamath doesn't get Its fair share of favorable publicity. Probably there are people in nearly every town with that complex. The other places are always getting the breaks. Mr. Green, who Is situated be tween those two ancient rivals, Medford and Klamath Falls, probably has a reasonably objective viewpoint. Natural History PEOPLE curious about the background of this area should be Interested in a course in the Natural History of Oregon, which is being conducted here under the sponsorship of the Oregon system of higher edu cation. The instructor Is Dr. Ruth E. Hopson, a Cornell graduate who Is living here while teaching this course. Dr. Hopson was a ranger naturalist at Crater La Ice last summer, and is a specialist in nature appreciation. The class she Is 'opening here will go into the geological background of Oregon with special emphasis on our own area, and will include study of the flora, and fauna of our region. There will be field trips in this ten-week course. It sounds interesting. The fee is 110.50. and if you don't want to take exams for credit, you can Just audit it still for the fee. Meetings of the class are at Fremont school on Wednesday nights and the high school Tuesday nights, 7 p. m. You can start by going to one of the classes the coming week. We mention It all here because we know a lot of people who are Interested In this sort of thing. Knowing more of the background adds to the interest and pleasure of living in this area.

ABO News Summary Telequeit the middle of the street with your front wheel or hitting the curb with your rear wheel , . , Bounds like something for the traffic safety committee to look into ... In our column on Wellman Smith yesterday, we made an error . . , We were telling about the late Senator Marshall Comett going into Cali fornia and we said "out of Culiforula" , . . Don't know what we wets thlnglng about . , , Just not thinking, probably. Days By GKOKCiE K. SOKOLSKV ARTHUR BRYANT, writing in "the Illustrated London News," repeats one of the most con stant arguments not only m England but throughout Europe concerning American aid. Bryant says: ". . . One thing is certain: That only a part of the great sum which the Americans generously loaned to Britain hns actually benefited the people of this country: much has been cancelled out by the rise In American prices and the increased sum Britain has had to pay for American food, oil. tobacco Mid films; still more, owing to the convertibility clauses, has passed to America's customers in other countries and to neutral nations who contributed goods to the democratic cause on an interest bosls while debtor Britain was not only contributing goods and human lives gratis but guaranteeing to pay neutral capitalists perpetual interest on their own limited contributions." Several fallacies are included in tills one sentence: 1. The American people did not benefit from the British loan: in fact, as of today's date, that loan repre sents a total loss. If the loan benefited neither the British nor the American people, why was It made? At the time the loan was being negotiated, Senator Talt, Bernard Baruch, and. If you will pardon the inclusion, tills writer said that the loan would be of no benefit to anybody. 2. The loan was intended to establish credits In this country for productive gqpds: Instead, as Mr. Bryant admits, it was used pruicipally for consumers goods, increasing shortages here and contributing to rising prices. The loan was intended to put Great Britain on her feet productively and was so advertised by its proponents. J. The British had the choice of rehabilitating their industries or using their money for tobacco and films along with necessities; the choice was theirs to make and they made it badly. A socialist government, oper ating by barter, confusing the livelihood of the people with their own continuance In office, could not but have made a bad choice. 4. The convertibility clause was just. The British had bound certain nations to buy only in British markets, even 11 the British lacked the goods and the purchaser required them desperately. This was a monopolistic closing of world market: to the United States. This country ought never to agree to monop olies. The open door policy is a sounder principle. Convertibility means, hi this case, turning blocked pounds into dollars. 5. Mr. Bryant seems to feel that only Great Britain contributed "goods and human lives gratis" to the war. Upon it the United States spent more than $330,000,000,000 and raised a military force of 11,000. 000. To Great Britain alone the United States gave at least S35.OO0.0O0.0O0 of direct contribution to which must be added many other aids, as. for instance, the artificial maintenance of the pound sterling. 8. His reference to "neutral capitalists" comes dis tastefully from a country that for centuries sold deben tures and drew Interest. The time to have thought about interest payments was when the bond was drawn, not when payments need to be made. After all. when the British wanted the money, they were willing to take it under stipulated conditions. When a private individual goes back on the terms of his agreement, we call him a welcher. Does Mr. Bryant wish such a term applied to his country? The time has come to call a halt to this nonsense. This country has been overly generous to nations good or bad, friend or foe. We have given until it is hurting. I use the word, given.' instead of lent, because that is the fact. The least we need to expect is a "thank you. sir!." but that we shall keep on expecting. IX any country does not need or want our air, we can use every pound of what they take right here at home. It is not necessary for us to export twice our annual surplus. It is not essential for us to export very much. In fact, these export are harming us. That is why the Marshall plan is so unpopular and unwanted. It ought to be made clear to everybody that from lend-lease to ERP, the United States has been engag ing not in good business but In expensive, even In profligate, philanthrophy. millers were in the market for rail shipments south and local mills showed Increased interest and lower selective requirements.

The condition usually suns with a slight loss of appetite, a feeling of general distress, and vague pains. Moderate fever Is usual. In severe cases nausea, vomiting and some i pain In the abdomen is alto present. Even In mild cases headache and a feeling of lethargy and weakness Is common. The lymph glands In the neck, and sometimes In other parts of the body, are likely to be en I larged. I These symptoms are not suffl ) rienl to make a diagnosis, because they may be present In other con : 1II110113. The blood, however, shows characteristic changes. The num . ber of white cells, or leukocytes. Is Increased. When a drop of blood Is smeared on a glass slide, stained, and examined under a microscope, a pecular typ of cell can be seen. A special test of the blood, called the heterophil antibody test, is al.i.i helpful In diagnosis. Indeed, this test Is the most Important method used In diagnosis. AFFECTS YOUNG Young people are particularly prone to infectious mononucleosis. The outlook Is good in almost all cases, but there Is aa yet no specific or thoroughly satisfactory treat ment. As a rule the fever lasts less than two weeks and the other symptoms even shorter pertods of time. The changes In blood, how ever, may persist and some weak ness may be present for quite a long time. Although the disease Is. at pres ent, mild and complete recovery is the rule, this Is a condition which will have to be watched closely. It can become more severe and more widespread than It Is at present. THE DOCTOR ANSWERS QUESTION : Would you please tell me the symptoms of a tumor on the brain? S. T. ANSWER: The symptoms of brain tumor are not alike In all ! cases. They depend on the location ot the tumop and Its size. Headache and vomiting are among the most common symptoms.

T li e p r o to c o 1 Is a prime example of tiie unscrupulous efficiency ol uol shttvlat methods, and consequently la worthy of study. I use the term "unscrupulous" deliberately, since the protocol a top-drawer secret which mysteriously went astray Is based on typical red revolutionary methods In which uo holds am barred, and Itself culls for "un scrupulous" tactics. In quota the liuiriUUKe of that Hiiiiulng iliKHiniria, as published by the llrlltsh foreign office: "The unconditional prerequisite for the liiipciuling final victory ol the working class are the mainte nance of discipline among the com rades and i lift Uil.il the unscru pulous employment of all function aries. There must be no doubt Unit In order to achieve this final vic tory all the wcaixuui of the prole tariat are udlleti." Includes llrotrurtlun Those weapons, as lined by Bol shevism, of cour.te Include not only the creation of chais through strike and disorders, but the de struction of proicrty and liquida tion of opKuctiiA. That word "liq uidation" which your dictionary says means, among otMer tilings, to "wljw out" or "dcslroy" covers many bloud - chilling method s. among which are dentil and various lyiM's of imprisonment. Leal there be any doubt about, who is back of tills scheme for dis rupting the efforts of the western democracies to rehabilitate tier many, the protocol declurrs: The home of socialism, the Soviet Union, can and will aupiort this battle onanist the moiioixily capitalist powers with every means at her disposal.

Right her It should be pointed out Uiat Russia Isn't the home of socialism In the generally accepted sense of that term. It Is the homo of communism on which has been Imposed boishevum, or revolution ary methods. The socialists of Brit ain and some other countries of Western Euroe have disavowrd the communists and the communists have disavowed the socialists. Creates Mtrlkra The protocol aa published in Lon don lays down the long range strategy and the tactics which are to be employed. Tills covers every eventuality, such as the wholesale creation of strikes, Uie delay of transportation and prevention of timely arrival of food supplies. Then conies this revolutionary order: "The unity of the working class must be achieved at once, even If It means the elimination of overall power." So goes this blue-print fur strong arm tactics against tne Marshall plan. The bolshevtsts are concen trating on Uie great Ruhr, with Its coal mines and manufactories. That Is tho key to Germany's economy and Germany Is ewe mini to the economy ot Western Europe. On Uie whole the protocol looks like shrewd gencralslili) of the Bol shevist type. It displays the same meticulous care that Is being dem onstrated In every country where a cummunl.U party is trying to secure a foothold.

There la a fur more Important reason. The newspaper has become a pub lic service which ipproachea Uie utilities. It performs so many neces sary functions which no other In stitution cun provide that a means should exist to prevent community blackouts through suspension of the local press wherever located. Such provision need not outlaw newspaper strikes. This Is not ad vocacy of any sort of anti-labor Irit Islnllon: unless it Is anti-labor to be pro-Ainrricnn. When disagreement or stubborn ness on anybody's pnrt closes down the newspapers 111 a rntiiniiiiilty. the strike Is not nittilusl a newspaper, or A dozen newspiipirs it Is against the people. It requires a wrestle wlih a local news bliu'kiml for a community to npprrclnte the confusion that a new'pnpcr strike brings. Where one has been experlencrii everybody has seen the loss and harm It can cre ate, down to humble and oliscure people In vocations remote from publishing.
