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.
Briefs From The Pocket File
THOUGHTS after seeing the Klamath basketball
team defeat Medford. 45-35: Klamath's team per
forms the paradoxical function of looking like a loser
- and scoring like a winner . . . The Klamaths, lacking
Individual stars, just dont look as good as they are
. . . Jim Chrisman, the Klamath yell leader, is am. ring
to behold . . . His loose-jointed but well-coordinated
physique is simply flung around the floor in wild
abandonment that can almost be called artistry . . .
Jim has a bevy of beaut.es working with him to make
the Pelican rally squad as colorful and attractive as
any we have ever seen, high school or college . . .
The Freedom train has now slated Corvallls as a
stopping point on Its tour of the west in March,
but still hasn't put Klamath on the schedule . . .
We'll have more to say about that later . . . E. B.
XHaU, Klamath Falls' old-timer, got quite a kick out
f that picture of the old Link river bridge which
youH find elsewhere in todays paper . . . Bert said he
crossed that bridge first in 1904, when he arrived in
town, and right at the east end of the bridge was one
of the local men pulling an 18-inch trout from the
stream . . . Kasper Moty writes with a suggestion that
some of the comers of Main street intersections be
cut back five or six feet as a traffic convenien'e and
safety measure ... He says that on some intersections,
you can't make a right hand turn without passing

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.

Is responsible, however, It has not
yet been Identified.
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.

When one la engaged III a fight
to a finish even though It be a
"cold" war it's only horse sense to
acquaint oneself with the methods
of the enemy.
This column therefore nnuln calls
attention to "protocol M " purport
ed oumiiiunlst plan for disrupting
western o r- ? y
uinuy luiu uiFiu
by rendering the
Marshall program
unworkable. 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. The communist In
formation bureau In Belgrade
i widely believed to be a revival of
the comiiitcru. or general staff for
world revolution) will coordinate Uie
common battle of all socialist move-
i menu in Europe."
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. It Is an excellent lesson
In organization, and not to be over

Newspaper Strikes
By FRANK TRIPP
It should not bo possible for pub
lishers, editors, willeis, prlutera
pirsMiirn or any group to deprive
a coiiiiiiuiiily of Its iicwnpiipeis. The
public has tho light ot first con
sideration in anything that so vitally
affrcla Its life and activities.
A wave of newspaper strikes hns
started. Mululy thry are strikes
against (he Tufl-lluitlry law. The
Issues uie more nulloiiitl than local
but the effect In very locnl because
the newnpupcr business Is local. In
fact, all bti.iluess Is local.
Dill business alumni I loll and fi
nancial loss uie not Uie baalc rea
sons Unit nothing should be able lo
deprive a city of Its newspnieis.
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.
The cost und Inconvenience of a
newspaper strike extends In some
inuiiiier to almost everybody who
tlves within range of one. In no In
slancr of newspniier blackout has
any other medium of communica
tion been able to fill the void

Just how to proleol these lin

Let us suppose that an Impasse
has been reuched which would shut
down all of Ihe newapnpeis o' a city.
To deprive newspuper workers of
Uie right to sinks would be discrim
inatory unless all il rises were out lawed.
Ho how could nesiairi8
give public service while a strike of
ensenllul workers goes on? 11 can be

A strike is supposed to be agalnsl
a company, a business or an In
dividual: not aguliisi the public or
the Inw of the land. When a collect n

has arrived where It must do a lot

A uewspaiier must do a certain
amount of business, must print a
certain aire paper In carry on for
long. If II were Imiuwslble for a
tipwspaiter to print edit Ions of prof
itable size, but If rotating skeleton
union crews would produce neces
sary pages to provide public service
to the mmimiiilty. the strike would
be as effective from the standpoint
of the strikers aa If no patter was
published The strike then would be
against a business: not agnlust tne
public welfuie.
This would be lo the strikers' ad
vantage. Kor where newapatter
blackouts have resulted from strikes,
the strikers have seldom enjoyed
the support of Ihe general public

If no strike could completely rinse

that their position would be equally

Nothing In this rrVtnnliig will!

Intended. The approach la from the
standpoint of the people: not man
agement, not unions.
Doth management and unions all!
lie wise to observe that the public
thai Uie people do. They also learn
quickly. In a city without Its news
papers, that being deprived of them
constitutes a flagrant public dis
service on the part of somebody.
Their unfavorable reaction Is In
stantaneous and direct; not cumula
tive and secondary, as Is the effect
of most other strikes.
When a strike can be devised that
hurts only those Involved in It. the
trend of strike-hatred might be
stemmed. No kind of strike so quick
ly focuses people's attention uinn
Uie auike-burden which the public
bears as does a strike which blncks
