L. Snider of Truckee has been confined with a leg injury since last Tuesday. The airplane was piloted by Ed Sandin of this city. Sandin carried with him 195 pounds of provisions and radio equipment. Planes piloted by Darrell DeNeal and Melvin Olsen°acecompanied Sandin as an ‘“‘escort.’”’ Charles Everheart and Tom Arden were occupants of the Olsen airplane. The trip required two and one half hour.s Pilot Sandin determined the location of the cabin by a huge “‘O. K.” made with cedar boughs by James Wheeler, who has been caring fod Snider since Thursday when a rescue party reached the injured ranger .but were unable to bring him back to medical attention because of the deep Japanese naval tankers are loading oil in San Francisco bay. Seven. millio® gallons will sail for Japan this week. In the past three months 15,000,000 gallons in these Japanese naval tankers have gone west. About eight times that much in the same period has gone from Port San Luis Obispo. This is the news in the San Francisco Chronicle of Friday. The Chronicle reports that: All the tankers taking oil from this area enjoy immunity from customs declaration beyond the filing of a % . terday and the lights in his ‘home had been burning all manifest’ and none pay port charges. Furthermore, while théy are in port, customs officers do not set foot on the vessels for any purpose. This immunity is an established reciprocal practice between the United States and other nations and is invoked through the State Department by the foreign countries wishing to take advantage of its provisions. We confess freely competely unable to this courtesy on the part of the State Department to an international snake in the grass, a piratical autocracy with the moral code of a Gila monster. Apparently this was a reciprocal undertaking between the United States in that jong bygone era when the two nations and the world was at peace, under which naval vessels of either power could load up in each others ports without cutsoms duties or questions asked. that we are understand Of one thing, however, we can be quite certain. Our navy is getting the worst of the deal. The oil which Japan is loading can easily fuel the. battleships which Japan will certainly use against us, the moment the Japanese military dictatorship, observing the signs in Europe, think they can beat us, In that event the oil we have supplied them will come in handy. They will be able to slaughter our marines and sailors and make the job of beating them cost us plenty of money and bloodshed. The HitjJeresque world we live in considers that kind of strategy tops in imternational relations. The victim provides the tools for his own murder. The whole philosophy of the dictators is to use all international law of all time to their own advantage, and to violate every last provision of it, when it suits them. What makes Americans particJarly indignant is that our State Department plays right into their hands. Licensing of oil exports to private Japanese buyers, undoubtedly has led the Japanese dictators to dig up this diplomatic exchange, which permits them to carry off all the oil they desire without even paying customs duties or port charges. If the Japanese navy needs more oil, all the astute little brown men have to do is commandeer every tanker in their islands. As we mull this enigma over in our mind, we can think of nothing in this arrangement that is reciprocal in fact, or to our advantage. The rule works only one way. Our'navy can’t use bales of silk to advantage, and so far as food products, materials for naval accoutrements and equipment are concerned the Japanese have nothing to trade. “Mhat is a nice es you are carrying,’ says Nippon to Uncle Sam. “I’ll trade you a belch and smile for it.” ( CHIMNEY FIRE The Nevada Ciyt Fire Department was called to subdue a chimney blaze at the Success at 8 o’clock last night, There was no damage but a large crowd gathered. /and seventh call. , Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
