WHY SHOULD THE JAPS BOTHER?
Perhaps there is a menace to western forests in the bombs
the Japs are sending across the Pacific in paper balloons, but
aren't they rather wasting their efforts? The destruction of
our timber lands is being pdetty well taken care of by our own
citizens here in California and elsewhere. All the Japs need to
do is wait and leave the destruction to us. This work of ruin is
being hastened by a block of small sawmill operators getting
out timber for the government, with utter disregard of damage to new timber coming on or the hazards being created for
neighboring property. :
One needs only to travel a short distance from Oroville
_ to find numerous instances of such devastation. In the Woodleaf-Clipper Mills district many areas which a few years ago
were beautiful wooded hills and valleys are now desolate
wastes. Young trees have been desortyed and vast heaps of
limbs and tree tops left behind. In large areas fires have completed the work of destruction. Thus we blindly permit the
obliberation of one of our most valuable assets, which we get
hysteriical over, what the Japs are trying to do from a distance
of seven thousand miles.—W. B. Hengy in Oroville Mercury
Register.
GALA YEARS '
There have been few if any of the oldtime gala celebrations in California during wartime, but the state legislature
apparently believes we should make up for lost time in the
years which will follow the end of hostilities.
“As decreed by legislative resolution, California will celebrate gold dissovery year in 1948, gold rush year in 1949, and
centennial year in 1950—and every city and county, as well
as the state government is expected to join in putting on the
jubilee performances which will let the whole world know that
California can still play host in the traditional manner.
Even as we buckle down in renewed earnest to our vital
job of war production, determined to do everything possible to
speed the ultimate day of victory, it is good to know that there
are gala years ahead. We have a lot of new residents who have
never seen California at play, who have never known otr
peace time hospitality—-and we fave 800,000 young men and
women in the armed forces who are already more than a iittle
homesick for all the simple pleasures and joyous living they
left behind them. And when the war is over we'll really have
something to celebrate-—Contributed.

PRESIDENT’S VISIT
President Harry S. Truman's visit to San Francisco for
the closing ceremonies of the United Nations conference, important as that unquestionably is, will have other important
consequences for us on the Pacific Coast.
As his presence will encorage the delegates of 50 nations
who have worked so hard on the world charter, so also it will
give a life to the war morale out here for all of us.
We may be confident that on his tour he will get a first

BRIDGE TOLLS
Three years ahead of schedule, the Carquinez and Antioch bridges will be toll free.on August 1.
The free passage of people and produce from interior
California to the San Francisco bay region will be. of great
benefit to city dwellers and rural Californians alike.
Any barrier, however small, which interferes with the
free flow of goods, people and undtrstanding within a state
should be eliminated, wherever possible. Some, like toll charges, levied to finance construction or purchase of bridges, are
temporarily supportable but should be gotten rid of as soon
The action to remove ‘the Carquinez and Antioch toll

Who May Think?
Stopped by a traffic signal while
driving in a narrow, busy street a
few days ago, my ear caught a familiar, musical note. Just beyond
the sidewalk, through a big, open
door, a blacksmith was shaping
shoes for a farmer’s heavy team.
Horns behind me suggested moving
along before I had finished looking,
but it was an inspiration-to watch
this workman, so’ skillful and energetic. :
Moving-picture blacksmiths are
elderly gentlemen with droopy mustaches, but not this man. He was
about 30, clean shaven and active.
The tempo of his hammer was lively. The hopeful picture he unwittingly posed of post-war America has
come to mind several times since.
More recently I have been listening to men discuss post-war plans
that involved moulding public opinion.
Fabricating Sentiment
“Knowledge is Power.’’ The words
are supposed to have flowed from
the pen of Francis Bacon about 300
years ago, but I think Bacon lifted
this choice bit of wisdom from Solomon: Proverbs 24-5. It has stood
the test of time. Popular sentiment
can be moulded. No informed person will deny it. Hitler did it. National leaders do it all the time,
, consciously or» unconsciously, for
better or for worse.
For eleven years in China I
watched selfish local war lords exercise their power over a patient,
toiling peasantry. It could be done
easily where the great mass of the
people were unlearned, as in China,
where 80% could neither read nor
write. Unlearned masses sometimes
rebel, but they usually fail: because
the energy they exert is not power;
only ill-directed force. se
Common Sense of Mos
For 156 years the United States
has prospered and grown as a republic. This is superior to a democracy in that it provides for the safety and protection of minorities, A
democracy places the minority at
the mercy of the majority, sometimes just as heartlessly as a dictatorship. That is why minorities
have retained freedom in America; why each individual is still free
to think for himself.
It is impossible to get a corner on
a nation’s ideas. Every man and
woman has a brain and there is
utilizing these assets to enrich themselves and. the whole race, namely,
keep ’em ignorant. The American
way is the other way: schooling is
free; libraries are everywhere;
press and radio prosper keeping
people informed. Our people have
knowledge and our nation has
power.
An Offensive Figure
A country, whose leaders want the
benefit of the best thinking of the
whole nation, is on its way up. A
nation that confines its thinking and
planning to boards and bureaus is on
its way down. Central planners reason thus: ‘The blacksmith has a
head on him, but so does his hammer. Why bother about either? We
will do the thinking and the planning.”’
Germany planned for the whole
of her peopl¢;: but her wages were
only half as high as American wages
in 1939. Russia does governmental
planning for all of her people. Wages
there were about one-sixth of American wages in-1939. I am for keeping our Republic, for drawing on the
intelligence of our entire population
and for keeping a well and correctly
informed public. ‘Knowledge is
Power.”’
