KLAMATH FALLS U rated at the top of th
Oregon non-metropolitan hup lor family buy
ing power In a 1948 survey made by Sales Manage-
merit, long an authoritative source
tor estimate of thlt type.
Only Portland, with 8570, ex
ceeded Klamath'i family buying
power of 8M24. The average for
the atate U 8395S.
The figure are from a copy
righted table printed by the Ore
Ron Business Review, and Klam
ath people will be Interested In
comparisons with other Oregon
cities, Klamath for many years
has rated out front In per capita
Income, buying power and similar
autistic, and the following table
Is right In line with that tradition:
Portland .
Klamath rails
Eugene ,
Medford
Baker
La Grande .
The Dalle .
Astoria
Coos Bay
Corrallls
Salem
Klamath county also stacks up well In Sales Msn
agement's survey. Little Gilliam leads the state
with $6061, Multnomah Is second with 15498, and
Klamath third with $4918.
FROM the same source, some interesting population
estimate are obtainable. Klamath county's pop
ulation for January 1, 1944, is estimated at 47.200.
as compared with the official 1940 census figure of
40.494. The figures Indicate that Jackson, Douglas,
Josephine, Lane, and many other counties art out
a tripping Klamath in population growth, but not In
family buying power. Even so, the figure of 47.200
Is much more favorable and 'surely more accurate
than recent estimates in the Oregon Business
Review Itself, which have obviously underestimated
Klamath county's population at something around
41.000.
Sales Management estimate the population of
Klamath Falls as 30.200. (It was 16.497 In 1940.) Some
figure for other cities: Portland, 420200: Salem,
63.8O0: Eugene. 36.000: Astoria. 19.000: Roseburg,
18.400; Medford, 17J00; Bend. 13300; Grants Pass.
10JO0.
Lake county's population Is given as 7500. as
compared with 6393 in 1940.
Only the federal census to be mad for 1950
will determine the true population figures for these
cities. In the meantime, the question is always good
for an argument. It is Interesting that Sales Man
agement keeps Klamath Falls In fourth place among
Oregon clues, the same position it occupied In 1940
and 1930.
These Days
By GEORGE E. 80KOLSKV
WHEN the British say that they are short of
dollars, they mean that they are unable to
tell enough goods In dollar markets. Their hope la
that the United Btatea will mak up the lag as a
gift. Why are they unable to 'sell enough goods In
dollar markets? Because they have outpriced them

selves. A competition Is being restored to world
trade, the British find that they have priced their
exports In dollars beyond the willingness of cus
tomers to buy. particularly as the customers can get
goods of the same or better quality at cheaper prices.
E. T. Weir, chairman of the National Steel cor
poration. Just returning from a visit to England,
reports: '
"Since high-priced English goods can not compete
In the export market, the labor-socialist plan la not
to make the goods genuinely competitive, but to
eliminate the competition. For this they have two
devices. The first is bilateral agreements between
England and other countries which will exclude
competitors. 8uch agreements will be largely at the
expense of the United States. The second device Is
the now-famlllar one of loans or gifts from the
United States, the proceeds of which can be used
In part to absorb any loss-selling necessary to
achieve the export of English goods. This, of course,
will be entirely at the expense of the United States.
"Any further grants from the United States to
England will have the same effect as those already
made. They still almply serve to sustain artificially
for a while longer a situation which Is Intrinsically
wrong and a drag on the economy of the entire
western world. After the war. w gave England
S3.7SO.OOO.OOO In a lumo Which was pvnerteH to fl.
nance the country over Its reconstruction period. '
The labor-socialist government used up this entire ,
amount In a little over one year's time. Then the j
so-called Marshall plan arrived. Ita purpose w as to
give England and other European countries sufficient I
financial aid to take car of them and offset their
shortages of dollars through 1953 by which time
they were expected to achieve a self-supporting
basis. England has been the principal beneficiary of
this plan. Despite this tremendous outpouring of
United States wealth plus Income from exports and
other sources plus huge and mounting taxation of
her own people. England. In the 15 months of the
Marshall plan, has depleted her gold and dollar re
serves by more than 35 per cent. And the United
States is being asked to make up this deficiency."
.
Mixed Economy
ENGLAND'S real difficulty is that her leaders are
attempting to operate partial socialism without
imposing the political limitations upon the Individual
which Russia has proved Is essential for socialism
In any form. In a word, a mixed economy does not
American subsidies, and socialism
In any form or degree will not work without slavery.
Mr. Weir also make this comment:
... In 1948, cash disbursements to Oreat Britain
against grants and credits from the United States
amounted to $1,110,000,000, or 34 per cent of total
foreign aid. Oreat Britain spends on her elaborate
welfare program approximately 900.000.000 pounds
per year, which Is more than three times the amount
of aid received from the United States In 1948.
When it is considered that these welfare expendi
tures equals 25 per cent of the British government's
total expenditures. It Is obvious that In this item
alone there must be room for reduction that would
permit Britain to lessen substantially the weight of
her burden on the United States.'
Subsidising Attacks
THE question naturally arise: How much longer
can the United 8iates go on giving to Great
Britain and what will happen to that country If we
should stop aiding her? The obvious answer Is too
tragic Britain's only answer Is to reduce buying in
the United States and to ask her dominions to re
due their purchase here. That has the same effect
as erecting a tariff wall against the United States.
And at that point, what become of the reciprocal
trade agreements?
If Great Britain can knock down the reciprocal
trade agreementa at will, why should the United
States continue them? In a word. British socialism
attacks the United States economically while almost
demanding that we subsidise the attacks. Does it
make sense?

THE DOCTOR SAYS
Birthmark Beliefs Unsound
By FDWIN P. JORDAN, M D.
Written for NKA Kervlre
Practically everyone Is born with
some kind of malformation of the
skin or mucous membranre which
Is cslled a birthmark. These are
usually so small, covered with hair,
or placed in such sn Inconspicuous
psrt of the body that they do not
cause any concern. Occasionally
large ones appesr on the face or
some other conspicuous part of the
body where they interfere seriously
with sppearsnce.
There are a great many super
stitions about birthmarks. Some
people think they arise because of
sn unfortunate Incident occurring
to the mother during pregnancy.
Thus It Is ssld thst when a baby
is born with a strawberry mark the
mother can Invariably remember
having an uncontrollable desire for
strawberries. At other times birth
marks are attributed to a fright of
the mother. There Is, however, no
scientific basis whatever for such
beliefs.
Proper Treatment
There are a good many different
kinds of birthmarks. Many of them
are moles, which may be -fist or
elevated and dark or almost skin
color. Brown ones are called pig
mented moles. Some are hairy.
The proper treatment for a birth
mark depends on the location, the
sire, and the particular variety of
the defect. Many molea can be
removed by local treatment. Includ
ing surgery, various types of electric
csutery, freezing with carbon diox
ide snow, X-rays or radium and
certain chemical agents.
It Is' not always possible to re
move or fade birthmarks success
fully even when they are on con
spicuous parts of the body, like the

The above figures are aversges
for the entire section and do not
apply to any one state within a see
lion. Each table adds to more than
100 per cent because some voters
named more than one problem.
The survey results correspond
roughly with the actual unemploy
ment situation as Judged by the
percentage of persons covered by
unemployment Insurance who are
collecting benefits. As of the week
of May 1. according to data sup
Piled by the Social Security Admin
istration, the proportion of people
collecting benefits was greatest In
tr 1 New England section, high on
the Pacific coast, especially In Cal
ifornia, and lowest In the West Cen

Economists point out. however,
thst the totsl picture of employ
ment In the United States Is still
excellent. As of early June the

Bernard M. Jones Aa an old man

to the Negro soldier he was an
honor to his rare, but why wish to

to throw the whole carcass on the

she realise that the freedom of Ihe

President Truman, haling signed
Ihe Atlantic pari, forthwith railed
on congress yesterday lo Implement
this epoch making treaty with a
foreign anna lutigiain running Inlo
IMHO.Ouoouo. which would gu chiefly
to aid our Furoitrau allies.
Now, a billion and a half dollars
la a lot of money even In these days
of eslrmiomlral calculations, and
there are plenly
of signs that the
law-ntakera will
examine th
proMwal with
weather- eyes.

If the proposal
has been based
chiefly on Ihe
claim that Undo

The administrations request for
this loir lw n aid Is based on th
strategic decision that the military
strength of our Kuropratt allies
should be llliieased as quickly as
possible lo enable them to stand oft
any Russian attack until American
power could rome to Ihe rescue.
No Rescue
In sliiut. we don't propose to re-
enact the role we plaved In the last

I strike unprepared neighbors with
lightning military blows, leaving us

sage lo rongresa Included these ex
planatory points:
"The better prepared Ihe free
nations are to rraist aagrrssioii, tri
leu likelihood thei Is lhat they
will have lo use the lories tliry haie
prepared . . . Their delens Is
our defense and Is of deep concern
to ua. . . ."
So we see lliat Ihe proposed
American aid Ian t entirely an altru
istic proposition. As Mr. Ttutnan
savs. ' their defense Is our defense
We are acting In our own lutereata.
Our forward defenses He In Europe
these dava.
To my mind western Europe s best
guarantee that wo mean business is
the fart lhat we are Indeed acting
In part In self defense.
However, we should be doing our
selves an Injustice if we dropped Hie
subject with that blunt summary of
I n.in, amnr m ho
Ideals, and President Truman voiced
some of them In these passage of
his message:
"Helping tree nations to acquire
Ihe means of defending themselves
Is sn obligation of the leadership
we have assumed In world affairs.
"We must keep ourselves morally
and materially strong We must
play our part In helping ta
strengthen freedom everywhere "
