I HDEMWrnCATION of relstlves of victim of the
Bly Jsp balloon tragedy of May t, IMS, as pro-
1 potted In a bill now In congress. Is full; Justified by
what w know about the incident.
2 Prior to the blast that killed five children and a
woman, the war department main
tained an airtight censorship on
the Jap balloon story.
Although the balloons were fly
ing over the Northwest, and many
had landed, the newspapers were
not permitted to print even the
fact that the Japanese were try
ing to land the fantastic devices
i on the western coast of America.
'1 The miblio was kent In the dark
on the whole thing, except for
word-of-mouth rumor. Our own
J opinion was that the fact that
tha .lamnw vera, attemrtHnff tn
EFLET balloon-bomb the D. S-, with no
specific report! of balloons being seen anywhere.
1 would have served to Inform and warn the U. 8.
2 public, at the same time withholding any valuable
Information from the Jape.
J But the government censors wouldn't tee It that
way until after the Bly tragedy.
On June 1, IMS, after the whole story was dls
I closed to the public I said In this column:
J The censorship was so successful that It can be
l narked down today as responsible for the deaths of
' five children and a minister's wife In the woods near
J BIT. All Indications are that none of them knew
1 a boat Jap balloons and their danger when they dls-
covered the Instruments lying in the woods near
the Dairy creek road."
J Subsequent to the blast, I went to Bly and talked
to relatives of the victims. What I learned In those
i Interviews was convincing evidence that the tragedy
would never have occurred if the public had been
J warned that the Japs were seeking to land balloons
i In this region which certainly would not have been
1 telling the Japs anything they dldnt already know.
i As a matter of fact. It was the Bly Incident that
broke the story. After about three weeks, the war
I department decided to lift censorship enough to let
J people know that the Bly people had been killed by
a balloon bomb. (Previously. It had been reported
t as a blast of undetermined origin, which most people
around here thought was', navy bomb dropped by a
plane.)
i Again quoting this column on June 1, 1945:
Had the warning come sooner, with hard-hitting
I bat lea tragio emphasis, the Incident Itself might
j kava been averted."
I in congress yesterday, the house passed a bill to
pay damages of 130,000 to relatives of the victims.
The measure now goes to the senate. It should be
j passed.

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY
OEBBELs wrote In his diary:
V37 ". . . This war was started because of a midget
slate: but now, when It has reached the decisive
culminating point, such states allegedly have no right
to exist any more. All fundamental conceptions of
how nations are to live together seem upside down In
this wild spiritual and political confusion. Therein
lies our great chance."
The midget nation to which the nail chieftain
referred was Poland, a country of 150,470 square
miles, with S4.77O.000 human beings. Suppose It were
smaller; suppose the population were smaller do
those people not have an Inalienable right to a gov
ernment of their own choosing? The United States
failed to answer that question affirmatively at
Teheran, Yalta and Potsdam. And so Poland has
gone out of existence, having become a mere province
of Soviet Russia.
The principal loser of that error of Judgment Is
not Poland, It Is the United States. When the presl
dent of the United Stales Is worried by the prospect
of war, he faces the specter of unforgivable errors
made by his predecessor, his advisers and associate
who were guided neither by moral principle nor by
International law but by the whims and practicalities
that came to them. Therefore, we lost a war and
may be forced by circumstances to do it over again.
U. S. Was Eoger
HENRY L. ST1MSON. In his memoirs, published
in the "Ladies Home Journal," says of this:
. . Much of the policy of the United State
toward Russia, from Teheran to Potsdam, was domi
nated by the eagerness of the Americans to secure a
firm Russian commitment to enter the Pacific war.
And at Potsdam there were Americans who thought
still In terms of securing Russia's help In the Pacific
war. Stimson . . . was disturbed to find that a part
of the Russian price was a Soviet lease of Port
Arthur and Soviet participation with the Chinese In
the control of the Manchurtan railways. This agree
ment was accompanied by a Russian promise to leave
the Chinese in full control of Manchuria, but In the
light of the Polish situation Russian promises of this
character no longer seemed reliable . . .
In a word, those in charge of our war In the Par
East were not capable of appraising our capacity to
fight or win. They permitted this country to be
blackmailed by an enemy, disguised as an ally, who
made such demands as we had rejected from the day
of the John Hay open door policy In 1899 to the
Hull ultimatum of November 36. 1941. We went to
war with Japan over Manchuria, but at Yalta. Roose
velt agreed to author! re Russia to exercise the very
rights In Manchuria which had brought on Pearl
Harbor.
Therefore, we lost the Far Eastern war, for whereas
we pushed the Japanese out of Manchuria, we pushed
the Russians Into it. They were engaged In the Far
Eastern war for six days; yet out of It they received
Manchuria, half of Korea, membership in the council
which pretends to control General MacArthur, and
the stores of the Kuantung army, the best equipped
of the Japanese military forces, which they have pre
sented to the Chinese communists for the purpose of
conquering the whole China.
Cost Of Errors
BECAUSE of these errors, we may have to do the
Far Eastern war over again at huge cost of life
and wealth. The responsibility for these errors cannot
be shirked either by those who made them or their
apologists. For should this American civilization fall.
It will be because It representatives at Teheran.
Yalta and Potsdam were without either moral
sponsibility or respect tor this country's International
obligations.
So we are In peril of war and we need to know
the truth. Yet Professor Frederick Schuman of
Williams college, writing In "Soviet Russia Today,"
makes the point, with regard to the publication by
the state department of the documents relating to
the Stalin-Hitler alliance:
". . . What Is entirely without precedent, so far as
I can discover, is the publication of documents from
the archives of a vanquished enemy for the purpose
of defaming a recent ally ..."
In a word, the American people may only pay taxes
for war; they may only die for their country but
under no circumstances are they to know the truth.

THE SLEEPER
Damn the man who like to sleep
Upon the couch all day
He'll pick up a western magazine
Then look (or a place to lay.
In just a couple ot minutes
You hear an awful roar
A combination of gasps and groans
Then a book falls to the floor.
Your eyes stray to the davenport
Sure enough he's there ,
With his mouth a gappln' open
And his snoring fills the air.
It's then you start to wonder
Whaterer did you see
In that horrible monster lying there
For all the world to see.
Oh, if only he could guess
The thoughts that's In your head
Such as he'd look a lot more peace
ful
If he were lying dead.
Then all at once you hear a sound
It's something like a scream
With a Jerk, a laugh and a little
snort
That thing 1 haying a dream.
Well, by and by he opens his eyes
eyes
He stretches and rubs his nose
And starts thinking of his stomach
So to the kitchen he goes.
Ye gods, I hear him coming
His face I'll hate to see
When he looks upon that davenport
And finds the likes of me.

group was the combination of
"devilment and usage." One of the
batteries, taken from a state grader
working on the Lower Klamath lake

the Henley garage In February,
were also recovered.
