Japanese Held Ready
To Stand on Own Feet
On Peace Treaty Terms
By BI'SNKIX BRINK

now being prepared fnr thtmr
From a practical point of vlrw,
the unbiased answer U "yn."
Thli U why:
1. 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.
Nor doea It mean that Japanrs

Tha company that b u 1 1 d a Uie

has designed a transport that could
carry 100.000 pounds or 400 armed
men from the east coast to West
ern Europe without straining a rivet.

production design to tha air fore.

Tha huge transport would be
called the C-W. It could haul big
ger loads In both am and weight

or known to be planned.

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

Soviet Russia and communist China
What, for instance, would hsj

That la one of several reasons f?r

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.

Proposed World Trade Deals
By RADKR WINCiET
l tor Ham Dawaoni
NEW YORK. 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

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.

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.

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. And when
