Japan fulfills UK standard re qulrement of maintaining a cotittl tutlonal and peaceable government qualified to speak lor It W.uou.000 people. 2. Tha country has been thor. oughly disarmed. Other terms of the Potsdam declaratlun that led to tha aurrender hava bean carried out In varying degrees, 1. There la no Indication that any thing important could ba gained by prolonging a eoally occupation which already la committed to re storing Japanese autonomy. 4. Pressing questions, which can ba decided only by tome furm of treaty, need to be solved before they become an Impowlble drag on Jap anese recovery and on American re source, Meaning This doe not mean that Japan has become a democratic nation.

CARNIVAL Bv Dick Turner leaders hava reformed sufficiently to guarantee that they will not once again try to domlnata Asia with whatever means are at hand. Tha distinction has been empha sised sharply by spokesmen fur such nation as Australia and tha Plilllnulnes. which remember Jap anese misdeed vividly. Leaders of both those countries art agreed on the need for an early peace treaty, and also are agreed that they will continue to watch Japan with sus picion. Danger -There are manifest dangers ( Japan In signing a treaty wlthofh Soviet Russia and communist China What, for instance, would hsj pen If Russia contended that a le gal stste of war with Japan permit led her to send an occupation fori to these Islands? f That la one of several reasons f?r a proposed separate agreement ijy which American or Allied trony. would continue to hold bases In Ja pan. Tha Japanese doubtless wul agree readily. They want protection from the outside and a stabilising Influence to prevent Internal disor der. The Russian attitude already has, delayed a Japanese treaty from the time early In 147 when Oeneral MarArthur aald Japan was ready tor one. Rasa Hull The official Washington and Lon don view now apparently Is that the Russians will hold to their attitude Indefinitely, so there Is no use in waiting any longer. For one thing, a formal treaty would permit elimination of the oversized American occupathfn or ganisation for which salaries alone coat millions of dollars annually. In sterd of this structure, there would be a streamlined group supervising the expenditure of American funds Also, the hope Is, a treaty would finally stand the Japanese on thru own feet. yu-n MM 1M W Mat MinCf .

Nov. 13 n The Bethlehem school board hat turned thumbs down on Christmas gift for the teacher too much competition between little Johnny and his classmates. Joseph W. Hedge, superintendent of schools, said yesterday board members decided the competitive nature of the gift giving among school children had become too ex pensive tor small income families to bear. Not that an occasional apple or cookie for the teacher Is objection able. Hedge said.

Nov. 23 c)P Queer quirks of men and nature provide some strange barriers to global plans for changing International trade patterns. Sometimes these schemes turn out all to the good; sometimes they don't. Since the war the general Idea has ieen to balance up world supply and world demand so that every body has everything they want. Two Approaches Roughly, this has been approach ed along two lines. First, take sur plus food and commodities from one area and send them where there Is a scarcity. Becond. create the abili ty to produce a commodity In an area where It la needed. These plans actually aren't new. The Ideas and even some of the ob jections to them have been met be fore. One big production plan Isn't working right now In British Tang anyika, East Africa. The govern ment In London Just fired two of the top men who planned and help ed develop a 3.200,000 acre peanut farm In East Africa to give the em pire all the peanust it could use for food and oil. Hitch The British could have bought than- peanuts In the United Stales, but that would require dollars. So they a p e n t 3.300.000 pounds, of which there la no shortage, in the last three years clearing the brush and planting peanut. But there were troubles. For one. the African bushmen didn't work hard enough. Result: no peanuts to speak of. Despite setback parliament yes terday decided to go ahead but cut WhtrtihiOolHf BRAKE BlOCKS-llNlNGS FRICTION BLOCKS Is Weeet gBaaasaj and so aSe Rood- f f Moilmun f.f CHAMPION FRICTION CO. the plan back to one-fifth the origi nal r'.xe. The United Slates army tried In 1857 to Import and use a foreign commodity camels. They wanted the camels to carry troops and sup pile In arid areas of Southwestern United Bute. But It didn't work. The army by now ha decided the camel never will replace the Jeep. burplua Scheme In one barter deal today, the Unit ed States Is having difficulty match. lug a shortage and surplus. The gov ernment has some 12,680,000.000 tied up In surplus farm product. One phase of the plan to dispose of the surplus involves trading a part of It to foreign government for materials we need here. India needs grain and we need strategic war materials. The Idea was to ship 37.400.000 bushels of wheat and other grain to India in exchange for manganese ore. mica or ute. But there are reports the Indiana are reluctant to barter be cause they can sell their raw ma terials for dollars any time. With those dollars they can buy anything. even wheat, at an advantageous price. In other words, you never can tell how these things are going to turn out, no matter how grand the scheme or how much money is poured Into It. RECOVERING -I HOLLYWOOD. Nov. 23 ( Dan Dailey la recovering quickly from a severe respiratory infection. How ever, he probably will remain in Cedar of Lebanon hospital another day. By BILL JENKINS THE prognoalication that a period ' of awift growth for the North west I in sight wa brought to the public attention again last night when State Treasurer Walter Pear son and Oregon Farm Bureau Fed eration President Lowell Stern met In public debet In Lake county over the CVA proposal. On the point of growth at least the two men were In complete agreement. Pearson spoke strongly In favor of the Columbia valley authority aa the only way to produce the maxi mum of development In the seven state area. Bteen spoke equally strongly against the plan, contend ing that private enterprise could do a better, and safer, job with future development. The whole CVA question ha assumed tremendous proportion. With the Northwest growing by leaps and bound the demand for power are also growing. We are now short of power and cannot offer adequate cheap hydroelectric power to new Industries that might be in terested In coming to the coast. The whole thing bolls down to the ea st ntlal point of which tide Is going to do It. The government or private enterprise? UR. PEARSON contend that only through the CVA can we co ordinate the huge program for the best results. Under the existing bill IS-164M the CVA would be gov erned by a board of directors con sisting of three men to be appointed by the president. These men would be resident of the area and would presumably be picked because of their special capabilities for the position. The appointments would be made for an indefinite length of time. These three men, say Pearson, could then Integrate the working of the three agencies cur rently concerned with the Columbia situation namely the army engi neert, the bureau of reclamation and the Bonneville power adminis tration. These three are currently. again aays Pearson, engaged in dil ferent line of endeavor. The en gineer are interested in flood con trol. The U8BR In Irrigation and the BPA In the production of power. Under the proposed CVA plan for some 25 dams Instead of the current two, the treasurer tee nothing but a snarl of conflicting desire and no progress. UR. 8TEEN, on the other hand, say the agency now in opera tion, the Columbia Basin Inter Agency Committee, I doing an ade quate Job at present and can con tinue to do the Job In the face of growing construction projects with out centering too much, power In the handa of the government and the three men who will head the CVA and make the final decisions for the authority. Under the cur rent bill proposed the CVA would have power to acquire what land It needed, by condemnation if neces sary. They would also have the power to limit the size of the farm to be allowed In the area according to what It thought wa the best economic unit, none of them to ex ceed 1M acres. It would also control the allotment of water allowed for Irrigation. Bteen tee danger In this giving of power into the handa of the few. He point out that there has been almost no aoll eonservalioo work done In the TV A. so why ex pect any to be done by the CVA. although that portion of the plan 1 outlined In the blU a one of the possible aim of the organization. Hie strong point, however, wa too much power in the hand of the big three and no method outlined in the bill to oust them from office should they prove to be Incapable of handling the Job. THERE are point on both tide of the question. We need the power and development. But do we need It through a government agency? Isn't it about time that free think ing American sat down and took careful account of their chances In the future? Do we want to give up all our freedom In exchange. for government security? Free enter prise flourishes only In the United States now. Why cut down that conception In exchange for a great white father who will make all our decisions for us? Of course the debate must be looked at only as public education Lake county I not affected. Neither is Klamath. The Klamath River and Ooose Lake basins are excluded from the present proposal with the thought In mind that they would better fit Into some plan on the California aide. IF I were to make a suggestion I would say this: get a copy of the bill and read it for yourself. Then mske up your own mind. As Mr Pearson pointed out In hi addreaa the pre la often prejudiced. That is to say, w have our own Ideas and do not hesitate to express them. A that free thinking Ameri can I wa talking about a minute ago, you certainly nave the right to make up your own mind. If you can't make up your mind then the only course left open la to let tome one else do It for you.
