Comment in Brief
EX-KAISER WILHELM died Wednesday at a time when
his grandiose scheme of German conquest of 1914-1S
is being repeated on an even bigger and grander scale,
and, thus far. with no signs of the failure that ended the
kaiser's ambitions.
What the kaiser thought of Adolf Hitlers Nazi regime
has been indicated in reports he had said it was "a step
In the right direction" when Hitler took over in 1933.
Human nature being what it is, it is very likely the for
mer kaiser witnessed the triumph of German arms in the
past two years with considerable satisfaction. If the new
German conquest eventually goes the way of 1918, the
kaiser won't be here to witness the wreck.
One great factor in the defeat of the kaiser's machine
In 1918 was the rugged, stubborn determination of the
British, whose morale held then in the face of disappoint
ments and terrific punishment In April, 1917. the British
were declared by Germany to have been "beaten to their
knees" by the German U-boat campaign. Yet they fought
on to victory.
As an indication of British morale at this even more
dangerous time, there is the demand in England today for
strong action in dealing with the Vichy French in the
serious problem of Syria. The Associated Press states the
British "press and public alike have demanded that Brit
ain act boldly and stop placating Vichy."
Despite the seriousness of a war with France, their
former ally, the British are evidently ready to take the
step if circumstances make it advisable.
There is talk of "gasless Sundays" in the east because
of the possibility of petroleum shortage there after July 1.
Experts in their reports to the government have said there
Is no national oil shortage, but that transportation prob
lems will make it increasingly difficult to meet the gaso
line needs of the heavy population and the concentrated
defense industries of the east
As time goes on, there may be another good reason
for being thankful we live in the west.
Young orators of Southern Oregon will speak on
"Americanism, the Protector of Liberty" in the Elks ora
torical contest at the Elks lodge Thursday evening at
9 p.m.
The Klamath county contest, held two weeks ago,
proved both interesting and inspiring. This time, repre
sentatives from Jackson and Josephine counties as well
as Klamath will compete. The event is open to the public
and will be worth attending.

LOCKHEED EXPERT
RUTH
An employment agent of the
Lockheed Aircraft company of
Los Angeles will be in Klamath
Falls during the week of June
9 to interview members ot the
local aircraft sheet metal class,
the Oregon State Employment
service said Tuesday.
Lockheed, in the midst of con
stantly increasing defense work,
has taken a large number of
graduates of similar schools
throughout the west.
Meanwhile 40 students con
tinued their study at the day and
night classes in Klamath Union
high quarters ax additional
equipment continued to come in.

REAL ESTATE DEAL
WEST CHESTER, Pa. iJP
Attending a public auction out
of curiosity, a tailor thought it
was time to act when there
were no bids on a three-story
building. He started the ball
rolling with $10,000 and that
turned out to be the only bid.
"It was Just a Joke," he ex
plained afterward. "I thought
the building would fetch sev
eral times $10,000 and I only
wanted lo get the bidding start
ed. I don'l want the building
and I don't have the money to
pay for it."
A trust company agreed to
another sale but the tailor will
be held liable for the difference
if the property brings Jess than
$10,000.

WASHINGTON. June 4 Vast
war programs often run off
into fragmentary absurdities,
but rarely into as intricate a
labyrinth as the agriculture de
partment's hog buying for Brit-
Our government is paying
high prices for pork products
to ship to Britain and getting
them from Canada. The Cana
dians have a surplus ot hogs
and are selling not lending or
leasing these to the British for
pounds sterling. The United
States on the other hand is buy
ing at relatively higher prices
and lending or leasing to Lon
don. Thus, '"madian hog grow
ers have been able to get more
for their hogs by sending to the
United States to give to Britain,
rather than selling directly to
their mother country. First
four months of this year Canada
exported 10.450 hogs to the
United States, compared with
only 18 head the same four
months last year.
The Canadians do not like
this, are trying to stop it. The
Canadian bacon board first
promised a dollar extra per 100
pounds to its growers on sales
to Britain. This was done in
May. but failed to prove suffi
cient inducement. Now a licens
ing system is being imposed on
packers who want to ship to
the United States.
To top it off. the British are
selling the pork they get from
us and using the money for gen
eral purposes. The way this
works, the United States federal
marketing administration buys
the pork with the lend-lease
money and ships it to Britain
on credit. Presumably this gov
ernment will be paid back in
the same way it is repaid all
lease-lend advances, sometime in
the future.
INVASION DOUBTED
Hitler is always doing the un
expected, but an invasion o(
England before September is
just too unexpected to be con
sidered possible. The nights now
last only five hours or less at
the channel and fogs cannot be
counted upon to cover any in
vasion effort before early fall.
It would seem logical for Hit
ler to try to clean up the east
ern Mediterranean and then
Gibraltar before trying invasion
in September.
ICKE3' JOB
The president's designation of
Interior Secretary Ickes as di
rector of the oil industry was
a move which lckes long had
sought before congressional com
mittees, by legislation and other
wise. Mr. Roosevelt sanctioned
it at long last, presumably to
implement his defense action
speech.
The only new justification for
government seizure of the reins
of one of the largest industries
apparently is that the govern
; ment had recently seized coast
, wise oil tankers for British aid
and therefore had itself caused
a transportation shortage,
j Resistance from the industry
is likely to remain as anony
j mous as the first comment from
ithe manager who said he was
! "knocked speechless." The move
has clearly hit a demoralized
industry.
Ickes. of course. Is the man
least likely to succeed in co
ordinating an industry whose
leaders he has always fought
bitterly. How much unity and
cooperation his choice will pro
mote is therefore a matter of in
tense speculation here, all on
the obvious side. The first result
is likely to be that the America
first committee can raise a few

NEXT BLOW
The itrilish have picked up
some information indicating
what they may expect next.
Benito and Adolf, they hear,
planned intensification of the
direct land attack on Egypt and
a simultaneous strike for Cyprus
and Syria.
To meet It, the British may
have to destroy the Mosul pipe
line and oil wells and invade
Syria, regardless of Vichy.
Odds arc heavily against
them, but the strongest possible
resistance is necessary in fur
therance of their general war
policy. Their authorities have
led ours to believe they will not
get out ot the eastern Mediter
ranean one minute before they
are forced out.
SHORTAGE SEEN
Letdown in bombing attacks
on Britain during the 12-day at
tack on Crete has made the
British wonder whether Hitler
has as many planes as claimed.
No other explanation for the
sudden cessation of bombing is
available except the obvious in
dication that Hitler had insuffi
cient fuel, pilots or ships to
fight actively on two fronts at
tlie same time.
TWO SPRAGUE RIVER
MILLS EYED BY AFL
The Lumber and Sawmill
Workers union (AFL) this week
will make demands for union
recognition in the two Sprague
River lumber firms. Organizer
Joe Boyd said Tuesday.
The union is prepared to prove
their claim to a majority at both
; the Crater Lake Box and Lum
' ber company and the lloseley
'Logging company, Boyd stated.
Employes ot both firms have
I been working under an agree
j ment recognizing the Industrial
I Employes union as their bargain
I inc. agent until last week when
IEU headquarters announced
the disbanding of their organ
ization throughout the entire
northwest. At the time of dis
bandment IEU members were
urged to Join the AFL.
Meanwhile in three other for-
imer IEU mills the AFL was
claiming majority and placing
charters. The three, all in the
Rogue River valley, were the
Medford corporation, employing
approximately 400 men; the In
gram Lumber company at Glen
dale, Ore., and the Timber Pro
ducts company of Medford.
Delegates from the three mill
groups will attend a meeting of
the Klamath District council
here next Sunday, Boyd said.
LaPointe's, local Red Cross
shoe dealers, have just received
word that they won third prize
m a national window contest
I sponsored by the United States
j Shoe corporation, manufacturers
'of Rod Cross shoes. According
to Curt Lion and Alfred Gray
, of the local store, there were
about 1600 entries in the contest.
I which was held during national
Red Cross Shoe week, April
21 to 26.
The judging was done by pho
tograph and was based on orig
inality and interesting ideas.
Grover Litton of LaPointe's shoe
department, and Mary Hutchin
son, in charge of window dis
plays at the store, trimmed the
: prize winning window.
