terior, called this week for destruction of "Hitlerism
and all it stands for" and lashed out at Americans he
charged are directly and indirectly aiding and supporting
Nazi creeds.
Opposition to Hitlerism and all it stands for must
mean opposition to totalitarianism, and the vast majority
of Americans will agree with Secretary Ickes in denounc
ing that ideology.
But let Mr. Ickes and all of us who oppose "Hitlerism"
make certain that while this country lends aid to the physi
cal struggle against Hitler, it does not at the same time
embrace Hitler's philosophy and methods under some
other name or in modified form.
Constant extension of power and control of govern
ment over the lives and activities of the people, perpetu
ation of a regime through this increasing control, grow
ing official impatience with critical public expressions,
the development of bureaucratic dictatorship these are
in essence steps in the direction of authoritarianism. Their
opposition would welcome such a vigorous fighter as Sec
retary Ickes.
The American way, with its individual freedom and
its challenge to the best in a man, is worth fighting for
and worth saving. Let's be sure when we fight that that
is what we are fighting to save.
Weather, Then and Now
INTO the newspaper office Thursday morning came Ed
Dunham with the front cage of The Klamath News for
Tuesday, April 18. 1933. The "banner" story of the morn
ing told of 14 inches of snow that had piled up in Klam
ath Falls on the previous day. It was the famed Easter
storm of 1933, which still lives in the memory of most of
us who were here eight years ago.
Mr. Dunham's purpose in bringing in the paper was
to show how much worse the weather can be than it was
Thursday morning when Klamath folk, hungry for spring,
looked out on a light skiff of snow.
As we remember, without making further check on
the newspaper files, at least a few flakes of snow fell
every day for the first 13 or 17 days of May in 1933. After
that Easter storm, the weather seemed to be in a groove.
But, happily, that was really an unusual period. Noth
ing has happened like it since and seldom had it hap
pened before. The law of averages is on the side of better
weather in the forthcoming weeks.

Recommendations for chances
in the price structure for milk
and cream in tha important Port-
Una metropolitan milk market
have lust been made by special
lsts of tha Oregon State college
experiment station, who were
requested by the Oregon milk
control board to make a scien
title study of conditions.
The study carried out in Port
land by Dr. D. B. DeLoach, as
sociate economist, and R. A.
Stiner, research assistant of the
experiment station, was tha most
comprehensive of a series of
studies made throughout the
state at tha request of the milk
board.
The study shows that sales of
butterfat in the bottle and can
milk trade for the period 1930
through 1939 decreased slightly
more than 3 per cent in the Port
land milk area, while production
of milk in the area increased
slightly more than 9 per cent
Various factors are considered
responsible for the decrease in
consumption, one being that, al
though the population increased
slightly more than S per cent,
the number of children between
the ages of four and 19, who are
the largest consumers of milk,
decreased slightly more than 12
per cent.
Among changes proposed to
encourage greater consumption
are a quantity discount on pur
chases of three or four quarts of
milk delivered dally, a store dif
ferential on the price of milk
sold over the counter, and a low
ering of cream prices, which are
said to be out of line with the
price of milk.

WASHINGTON. April 17 A
new defense speed up
scheme based on sub-contracting
is about to be sprung Messrs.
Knudsen. Blggers and Mehornay
slipped off to Boston a few days
ago to work out a New England
angle. A sub-contracting orianl-
tation started by tha defense
contract service commissioner,
Robert L. Mehornav. Is nearly
completed. His 30 district of
fices will be opened shortly in
federal reserve and branch
banks. District malingers (local
business men all) are being
chosen for the salaried Jobs to
work under 13 coordinators who
win receive SI a year. The idea
is to cut every possible defense
contract down by sub-contracts
to a point where every critical
macnine in the coun'.ry Is work
ing 24 hours a day.
It sound good, yet a number
of officiate in the defense com
mlisiun and most of the war de
partment are asaln.i It, or but
mildly interested Tnat la, they
are against forcing defense con
tractors to make eub-oon tracts
and believe that unless force Is
used there will be little sub
contracting They contend con
vincingly that forced sub-con
tracting would break every con
tract they have, relieving the
defense manufacturer of oer-
eonal responsibility for fulfill
ment of orders on time. In their
view it would promote delay
rathet than speed.
STEEL PRICES
The new dealers are eolne to
stick to their argument against
luriner increases in steel prices
despite wage Increases until
public interest dies down at
least. They figure this way:
Net earnings of tne steel In
dustry last year amounted to
$281,000 000. The 10c an hour
increase, applied to the 003.000
employeea of the industry 00 a
40 hour week basis would cost
$125,424,000 a year not count
ing overtime. This means rough
ly the earnings of the steel in
dustry would be cut In half by
tha wage increases
The new dealers have aa Idea
the earnings cut will be even
less because of expanded oper
ations since the middle of last
year. By taking the last half
1940 earnings, they boost their
earnings estimates for this year
up to $36(1,000,000 On that
basis they conclude the wage in
crease will cut earnings only
40.uuu,uuu roughly one
seven in.
But wnat the new dealers are
overlooking entirely la the Ux
Increase shortly to be enacted
by congress. Some new deal
senators have said publicly this
tax Increase should be 100 per
cent, in wnicn case steel, coal
and all the other industries in
which wage increases recently
have been negotiated will find
themselves again in tha red
(steel was In it five of the last
10 years )

COMPLAINS
One manufacturer caught In
this vise of Increasing waies
against an immovable price ceil
ing, has been complaining tha
only alternative offered him by
the government's course is
whether to turn his business
over to Hitler or Henderson. An
other is Insisting Mt Roosevelt
has amended hia promise that
no one would make a profit out
01 defense to read: "No one
except labor unions, shall profit
from defense." Even workers
will pay a portion of their In
creased earnings to the govern
ment in Increased taxes, but the
unions pay no taxes When de
fense money reaches them, it
