There can be no doubt of the conscientious weighing of the the jurors, hut the results may also be regarded as in dicative of an increasing feeling that violence in Klamath county, regardless of the race of those responsible, must be halted by forceful law enforcement. As has been remarked in this column on several pre vious occasions, a large majority of the Klamath Indians are law-abiding and conscientious citizens. It is a small minority that do the trouble-making that blemishes the reputation of the whole tribe. And white men are often partially responsible, because it is only through them that Indians can get liquor that inevitably figures in cases of reservation violence. Recently, there has been a wave of trouble on the reser vation. One fatal shooting case is now pending in federal court, and in another shooting case the victim has nar rowly escaped with his life. In still another case, an Indian was knifed at Chiloquin. Federal officers are struggling with the liquor problem and the investigation of these incidents. It is to be hoped that the public sentiment against violence, as applied to the reservation and elsewhere, will have its influence upon the reservation and will receive the support of the large majority of law-abiding Indians as well as whites. It does none of us any good to have Klamath county generally regarded as a place where crimes of violence are common. That reputation, once de served, has been largely erased in recent years, but flare ups of trouble such as that which has recently occurred revives the old, unpleasant notorietv. Let us not single out the Klamath Inrl ian in trtla enn- nection. There is ample need for restraint among whites as well as Indians. Let all strive together for a peaceful Klamath county. Heaven knows, the news wires tell us enough of violence and bloodshed elsewhere. Let's keep our home surroundings as free of that sort of thing as possible. 6 An item in our favorite newspaper states that Canada's MacKenzie King agreed to a US-Canada pact after a seven-hour conference with Mrs. Roosevelt."

Matsuoka Points To Peace Indication TOKYO, April 22 (P Japan's "three achievements within six months" should convince the United States that her intentions are strictly peaceful. Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka told newspapermen today on his re turn from conversations in Ber lin, Rome and Moscow. He listed these achievements as the three-power pact among Germany, Italy and Japan, Jap anese recognition of the Nanking regime as the "basic govern ment" of China, and the recently signed soviet-Japanese neutrality pact. ' However, in answer to a ques tion whether Japan contem plated a non-aggression pact with Uie United States he replied: "I do not know."

Winant, told the American chamber of com merce today that "we are not concerned" with words we are determined to help (Britain) by action to insure total victory over totalitarian aggression." He said that between Ameri cans and "the free and uncon querable people of this Island" there existed "a bond of com mon sympathy and understand ing, of common purpose and de votion which will live on long after nazl tyranny has been broken and destroyed." Winant declared that Ameri can business men and manufac turers residing in Britain could do much to' "hasten the day of complete victory over nazi tyranny" by sharing their knowledge of production meth ods with British industry. Machines and tools to make them, he said, are vital needs "This war has already dem onstrated the man-for-man su periority of the soldier of free dom over the soldier of oppres sion wherever there has not been an overwhelming inferior ity of mechanized equipment," he added.

April 22 Hit ler's war magic seems really invincible in only one line the propaganda line which is delud ing the world Into believing he Is Invincible. His feut are about as baffling as a simple card trlc-k after you know how it Is done. Capture of the Impregnable key Belgian defense Fort Ebon Einael which .crushed the whole Belgian line, was one of his greatest illusions and the most mystifying. Berlin announced it was done with "a secret wea pon." Unofficially his propa gandists led tlio world to be liovo the weapon was a nerve gas which froze the Belgian de fenders rigid until the Germans climbed over the fort and pinch ed them. The only weapon he used In that fort was the old machine gun. tin only secret was his su perior will to war and his con sequent superior preparation for it. The only gas was in the propaganda afterward. a a a ATTACK REHEARSED Years before the attack, the German military men, knowing Eben-Emael was the key to the Belgian situation, constructed a replica of it In Germany. They practiced attacking it for months until they found the way. When the time came to use the way, the same troops which had re hearsed against the dummy Eben Emael, measuring every foot of the ground, acted out their sim ple assigned parts. First day, artillery fire was directed into the vast opcn-flrld center of the fort, to create shell craters. Parachute troops, armed with plain old machine guns, were dropped into the fort cen ter on toward evening. Holing themselves into the shell craters, they withstood every effort of the confused and surprised Bel gians to dislodge them. Next day, German troops crossed the river four miles above, out of range of the guns of the fort. They besieged it from the out side, while tho defenders were machine gunned in the back when they tried to man the guns on the inside. That was ail there was to it. The military facts have come to light in the Field Artillery Journal, a semi-official maga zine of the military trade, in a recent issue. PREVIEW This la the same kind of "nerve gas" Hitler adapted to the French at Sedan, the Nor wegians, the Poles and lately the Yugoslavs and Greeks. Each of these campaigns was re hearsed on simulated terrain in Germany, and here is the main news of this column right now the nazis are practicing ferrying across the Baltic around the base of Denmark. They are rehears ing landing operations against defenses built to resemble the British coastal defenses. a j WILL TO WAR As military men find out the facts of Hitler's magic, they 1 must become increasingly con vinced that Hitler will lose his feigned invincibility when his Laralne Day adversaries develop an vgiml will to war. The Germans are not smarter. They do not even yet have superior production ra pacity to inn lie weapons of war. They are far behind in raw ma terials. I But one thing they have hud i for a long time, a thing which I has been alow to grow In bolh ! this country and Britain, the u-1 perlor will to do it. No coal 1 strikes cut their steel prmluc-; tlon. Not because their phony system was good. It Is really only a receivership for a bunk- nipt nation.. Yet the cool con suming anger which is n.-i evnry for the utmost effort in war, con tinues to rise unsteadily In the democracies, whereas the Ger mans wore born with It. (A further proof that the system has nothing to do with it lies in the experience of Italy, which had the system first). U. 8.
