I 1.50 6 Months $ 7.5 t Months I 9.00 1 Vear fW.OO I Year (11.00 The pollliciiil) seeking to ad vance the power of his mistress bureaucracy has a very forceful appeal in preaching' the fear of Impending mass starvation of the people, which, so they claim, the only salvation Is through strict regimented economy. It's been a great racket preached and believed lor over a 160 years since the writings of Malt'ius was first brought into public debate. Today when the world Is further away from the predicted mas. tragedy than ever before in tne million people by 1975. That cer tainly shows that this line of pro duction increase is far outrunning and much sharper, in a sense, than our ability to produce food. "We will require by 1975 food from 162 million acres or putting it in terms of what new land may be brought into production, we will require food at the present rate of production from 120 million more acres of land by 1875. "This is rather a serious thought. Also the fact that at the present rate of deterioration of some of history of mankind the same old I the land that has been too heavily line is a standard party of the old bag of tricks the prophets of doom so dearly love to preach, Of course, we now are faced with problems of surplus, but that won't last Is the present direful dirge because the Malthuslan tide will overwhelm us. The preachers of doom, of course have an axe to grind and the problem of surplus Is a vexing one In their way but the glib individual need not wor ry for an explanation listen: "So my efforts are dedicated quite a little to the proposition that each acre ought to be used within the limits of Its capabilities and also treated in accordance with the needs of conservation and development. "Soil and water resources are Im portant only so long as they make some return to society, and food that is produced for which there . Is no need certainly is some thing that Is lost. "Today our total production, our overproduction, that margin that we have over what we actually need Is really rather fine after all and, something that has al ready been pointed out here, In an emergency would really turn out to be a blessing. "Take a look at this margin, and how slim it was In tills period that we have Just passed through. From 1900 until the advent of hy brid corn the average acre yield of corn varied as little as two bushels per acre. "Then with the advent of hybrid corn production per acre zoomed, and with fertilizer coming into the picture It has also taken a spurt. But we have reached this very high level of production and that production will decrease very slow ly, perhaps very little in the Im- mediate lulure. ISO smooth Is the Malthuslan ", line that one is led almost Im ' perceptibly into it as you may note wiiat occurs In the follow. ing the preacher has disposed of surplus after taking recognition oi its presence.) "Now couple this with the fact that conservative estimates in the past have been that we would reach 190 million people by 1976 and that was raised to 200 million people by 1975 and I was interest ed to hear tills week that the lat est conservative estimates are that we would between 207 and 220 farmed and by poor crop meth ods, we could easily lose that much more land by that time that Is now In production. ' "It is very evident that farmers arc becoming increasingly in the minority In this scheme of tilings in our economy, and I think that the first responsibility belongs to the landowner or to the operator. "But that is a very heavy load as has already been pointed out, It Is such a small part of our total population, that other people have as much stake in the mat ter of food, of being able to live as well as we have in the past, and probably other people have considerable responsibility, which In turn means that the govern ment does have some responsibil ity to set up state and federal agencies to help us solve and pre vent these things that could hap pen to us." This was part of a talk given recently by a man who professes to be an ardent conservationist at a meeting of a national con servation organization The point of Interest is that conservation as is placed here Is not being sold upon the basis or reason but upon the basis of fear and therefore the dwindling agricultural popula tion must become the children of a solicitous bureaucracy. This raises a good question- must progress always be made because of fear rather than by reason? Must fear always remain the dictator of human relations and human actions? The opportunist quickly discov ers that the most fruitful field for his talents lies in the fear of fam ine when In reality we should be turning our most anxious eyes upon the power field especially that of petroleum since we will be long out of oil before we run out of food.- But can one become greatly excited over the predicted shortage of oil?

Tom decker,, , , 744 BTOAO ST, 1 NftWiRK , N.J. Bruce Biossat The battle lines for the Big Four foreign ministers' meeting at Ge neva Oct. 27 are now being drawn In tact they are being "fixed so firmly that a stalemate appears almost Inevitable at that conference. Within the past few days the leaders of the West have decided to give priority at Geneva to the issue ol German unification. This Is the one matter the Russians evidently do not wish to discuss realistically. As has been well aired before, the Kremlin will have no nart of a unified Germany attached, as Western Germany now is, to NATO and the allied family of free nations. The Onfy idea the Biz Three diplomats have come up with to make such an arrangement half way palatable to the Russians is a European security pact to pro tect an sio.es irom a remilitarized. Western-oriented Germany. This plan, authored by Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden of Brit ain, is now being hammered into final shape for Geneva. But every- tning indicates the Russians will not buy it. They believe time and circum stance are on their side. Having established diplomatic relatione with the Bonn government of Chan cellor Adenauer, they think they can deal directly on the unity is sue without the intervention of the West. ' They do not expect the crusty old chancellor to buckle and give them the kind of unification the Communists want. But they know he must die jonie time, and they figure his successor micht not re sist so well the pressures within west Germany for restoration of the full nation. Perhaps they Imagine that even TELLING THE EDITOR better and provides an ample field he will find his nurnose eroded bv that never appears to become satu- lime, that lie will one day make rated as books and essays and a deal with the East German Red then more books and essays have I regime because he has at last re- been written without end since Mallhus started the discussion in 1798. All the effort goes on and on to prove the earth Is a closed vessel and the law of diminish ing returns, like the black bear of our childhood days, will catch us SAM DAWSON MEW YORK IP American oil men are rediscovering the Europe from which Columbus sailed to dis cover America. While atomic and solar energy are being harnessed economically, oilmen say, Europe is going to need more oil as a quick source of the energy it demands. American oil companies, in ad dition to shipping oil to Europe, have invested 750. million dollars in plants there since the war, mul tiplying its oil rctining capacity eight times. Jersey Standard Oil's hoic oigan, The Lamp, savs this year will see 26 catalvtic cracking and reforming speed up output. It predicts that within the next 20 years oil consumption there will double. Economists of the riuu m ..,,,. tnn Bank of New York, say con sumption ot energy irom coal, oil and water power Is equivalent to 18.000 pounds o( coal a vear for each person. In Kurope per capita enrrgy consumption is equivalent to S.600 pounds a year. But It Is rising fast in Europe because ol the striking increase ol late in the standard of llvmg there. Europe has higher real wages now. Autos and motor scooters multiply on its roads. With this new prosperity has come a desire to substitute machinery for man ual labor a yen which used to be considered chiefly American. European farmers now look more favorably on mechanization. Fac tory owners have put in power equipment, thereby raising produc livity. and thus hiking tnelr profit ana tne pay of their employes. Europe still gets 6a per cent ot Its energy from coal and 10 per cem irom nyaroeiectric plants. Oil provides 20 per cent, with natural gas making up most of Uie rest. Atomic energy is likely to be developed commercially In Europe before It Is here because the costs of older forma of energy are higher there. But in the next 10 years, Jersey standard believes, the atom will satlsty only one fourlh of Europe's increased de mnnd for electricity. Three fourths must come trom increased con sumption of the conveniional ener gy sources. American oilmen busily observ ing Oil Progress Week right now may be comforted to hear that the New York bankers think that In ihe next 50 years the fossil fuels will still be the world's dominant source of energy. allzed unity any other way is im possible. However thay may be. the Im mediate prospect for settlement of ine question at Geneva is dark Indeed. The Geneva agenda docs have two other major items, disaima- ment and the improvement of East West contacts. Progress of the disarmament ef forts recenly made under UN aus pices does not augur well for this item. Pernaps the foreign ministers can find some way to break the log Jam, but it would be a sur prise II they did, East-West contacts already have snown some betterment in the months before and after the "sum- mlt" meeting at Geneva. Fmther improvement surely would be wel comed. But It is exceedingly doubt ful that this alone would be enough to allow the world to hail the foreign ministers' meeting as a great triumph. Once Oct. 37 arrives and Ihe diplomats of East- and West set down to cases, they will find them selves hard pressed to keen the heralded "spirit of Geneva" from nagging. 97 SUPPER CLUB ACTION NEEDED To the members of the Klam ath Tribe who have an Interest in the Klamath Indian Reserva tion: You are In grave danger of losing your voice in your tribal nffairs if the group that wants to sell us down the river for per sonal gain are permitted to have their way. A sign of this ap pears in the agenda of the Klam ath General Council for October 20, 1955 under item No. 2. sub section (fi Reconsider action of General Council Re; granting au thority ' August 21, 22, 1952. This authority was granted to the Klam ath Executive Committee at a General Council held ' at Beatty, Oregon. A resolution granting the authority was read. Mr. J. L. Kirk moved for its adoption, Second ed by L. Witt. It has been in effect for about three years, now the special Investigating Commit tee wants to eliminate them. Why? I'll tell you why; the members elected to the Executive Commit tee has done everything in theii power to protect the interest of all Ihe Klamath people not Just a few. we in the committee feel that fair play and Justice should enter Into the oicture. After all the mem bers that are to remain in the tribe will have to live here and should get a deal that is Just as lair as those will get all that mon ey that was promised them in , lump sum. At least they were told that they were to get all their money, plus the childrens money. I believe that last statement needs a little clarification so let me give you the excerpts to Section 15, ol P L. 587 Section 15. "Pricfr to the transfer of title to, or the removal' oi restrictions Irom, property in pecordance with the provisions ot this act, the Secretary shall pro tect the rights of members of the tribe who are minors, non com pos mentis, or in the opinion of the Secretary in need of assist ance In conducting their affairs. by causing the appointment oi guardians for such member in courts of competent Jurisdiction or by such other means as he may deem adequate. - Tnis to me means that I can apply to the court of Klamath County to be the guardian for my own childrcu, if I cannot qua! ifv then the court has the right under this bill to appoint one for me. Now does that sound like you will get all your own children's funds; that was promised you by people that were surveying the rtlamath Reservation in the Fall Ol 1954? If the Klamath Tribe are to fall to Ihe mercy ot the Special Com mltiee then I shall make a pre diction. I predict that If this hap pens then we will be confronted with the same climate that existed in the middle 30 s. To refresh your memorys a bit. many of you no doubt remember the 111 fated days of the "Purchase Or der" and the restrictions that were bound so tight that you couldn't even ouy a loaf of bread without ihe approval of the then Superin tendent ol Kiamath Agency, re member? Then remember how your last resort was a petition to have the man removed so that you could have a little more free don. You were granted this freedom, the question now arises are we tired of this freedom, do we want to be at the mercy of a few? This is supposed to be a demo cratic country so if you feel the .same as 1 do then you will come to the General Council and be heard by voting this menace down. And let us that have signed the petition to have the action ol Jan uary 18. 1955 recinded ask that this be the first item on the agen da, because it is business that should have been before the house long ago and It's long overdue. Elnatban Davis Beatty The Doctor Says ii I'OW'S RELEASED I wish to tell the Editor so that everybody know it. I saw in the Herald and News ol October 10, 1955, that German POW's were be ing released and returned by the Reds and that they had told of the death of Eva Braun and Hit ler. Believe it or not during World War II I told the Editor of the Herald and News about Hitler's body being burned. 1 also wrote President Roosevelt Rhd the late King of England not to worry any more about Hitler as he was dead and burned I knew for sure. I also tola the Editor of the Her ald and News that bad luck would coine soon to all of Hitler's com panions. Most of my sincere dreams nver fail, always come true. In 1934 during the last week of May, on a Saturday, a dream saved my life. Believe it or not. Christ came In. my dream and helped me, telling me how to save my life in the mornlnir before it was too late, also telling me to be careful dur ing the rest of my life, not to make friends of crooks, or cheap people as they were no credit. Gust P. Vourchis By EDM IN r. JORDA.V, M.D. In our complicated Industrial civilization, an enormous number of people come in contact with substances in their occupations which may damage the skin. It Is said that at least two-thirds of all occupational diseases are' skin di seases and that perhaps one out of each hundred of all industrial workers are affected by occupa tional skin diseases of varying de grees of severity. There are considered to be a number of predisposing factors in acquiring an occupational skin di sease. Any thinning or breaking of the outer layer of skin, for example, aids the entry of an out side irritant. Pigment of the skin plays a part: the Negro is less susceptible to skin irritants than the white man and among the lat ter those with thin, blond skins appear more susceptible to some irritants than brunettes. Workers with thick, oily skin are better able to resist the Irritating ellccts oi some fat solvents, but those with hairy arms and legs and oiiy skin are more likely to develop pimple-like lesions from contact with greasy substances. Ordinarily, perspiration serves as some protection against skin irri tants by diluting them; on the oth er hand, excessive perspiration may encourage some forms of irri tation from solid substances. Age enters into tne picture: apparently most workers who develop Indust rial skin disorders are young and new at Ihe job. The skin of women is more sen sitive to external irritants than that of men because it is drier. Oc cupational skin disorders are more frequent in warm weather per haps because less clothing Is worn. The presence of a nonoccupational skin disorder, particularly one in volving itching and scratching, will also make a person more susceD tible to contact with external irri tants. Personal cleanliness is the most important measure in preventing disorders. Prompt and efficient re moval of Irritants on the skin pre vents their long action and, there fore, greatly lessens chance ol causing trouble. Of course, the cleanliness of the shop or working environment is important and pe riodic cleaning of walls, floors, ceil ings, windows and machinery are useful preventive measures. Most Industrial plants have made extensive efforts to lessen the haz ard of contact with irritating sub stances. In some, complete avoid ance Is extremely difficult but the use of protective clothing and pro tective ointments or creams have helped enormously. In plants in which irritating sub stances cannot be avoided there are usually regulations established regarding cleanliness and protec tive measures. The worker in such an industry would be well advised to study these regulations and fol low them carefully. if a J r dX- Ik (jilL CC Tiger Lily Nylons Sheer sorcery! Sly leg intrigue!
