A few excitable souls have from the start alternated between hope and despair. The general observer is learning to ignore the day by day grist of surface maneuver and turn to fundamentals and the long pull. There is room for both encouragement and alarm in such a perspective. The mechanisms of security are likely to be served well by the conference; after necessary weeks of debate and dispute, a sound charter seems almost certain to emerge. To the extent that a document and an organization can advance the cause of peace, San Francisco can hardly fail. But the effectiveness of that organization is another matter. We think that Americans are learning the hard way how utterly dependent upon’the realities of national attitudes is the concept of world union. If San Francisco did nothing else, for example, than make our people sense the nature of the Russian outlook it would perform an invaluable service. If we can become realists about the Soviets, their tactics and their _aims, and act thereon, we can do more for the peace of the world than by any other route. Let us start with the tactics. In a general way, Americans have known that the Soviets were difficult to deal with. Their behavior in negotiation almost follows a pattern—a __ threephase routine. Our agents in Moscom have become all to familiar with it. The first phase would be devoted to friendliness and sense. The second would turn suddenly to grimness. The third—if there was a third—saw a return to civility and accord. > Why the second phase? The Russians are great horsetraders; perhaps they think to gain by shock and surprise. But the answer can hardly be so simple. The attack is delivered with a gusto that suggests a practical_joke. It has seemed to some observers that Soviet diplomats took delight in waiting till everything was caefully arranged—the table set and the tea poured—and then pulling the,rug out from under the whole proceeding. Probably the real reason for the tactic stems from sources that are hard for Americans to fathom since they exist only under a dictatorship. We would do best. therefore, to concede at once that we do not understand ruthlessness in Russian behavior whether it is exhibited ir diplomacy or in the graver matters of political action. We do not like it in either case. It should be part of our realism to say so—bluntly. But having done so we should do our utmost to continue to work with the Russians. That is,the other half of any realistic effort to keep the peace of the world. It may fail. The Russian people are plainly going through a period of unpredictable growth and change. Our best efforts will not necessarily succeed. But what has become unmistakable at San Francisco is the fact that Americans are the one people who are close enough to the Russians—in character, in outlook, in basic problems, to achieve a solid friendship with them. This is no new or romantic invention. It is a part-of history. From the birth of the American republic the two nations have had bonds of understanding. Americans have, at times, disliked Russian governments; they have always liked the Russian people. We have spoken of their sense of humor. Their character shares with ours a sense of spaciousness. Today more than ever, as they progress eastward across _ their great frontiers their development parallels our own frontier days. Their swift advance into industrialism brings another factor of resemblance. We have spoken of sources of misunderstanding. Americans could. and should do much more than they are doing to comprehend the Soviet republics. Therg is here an especial opportunity for our younger generations to learn the Russian language, to make themselves expert, by study and by contact with the facts of Slavonic institutions. Obviously, we should seek to break down Russian isolationism while increasing our own ability to understand. . There can be no question of the power of Russia. The fate of the world depends upon her decisions equally with htose of the United States. We count it a fortunate chance for the world that these two great peoples hold such possibilities of friendship. We speak of romantic pretense of understanding where none exists. We urge only straight talk between strong peoples who by nature and experience have much in common and who for generations have liked each other—New York Sun: 3 BONDS AND SUPERFORTRESSES.

GRASS VALLEY, CALIFORNIA “Where Gold Was Found in '49” y SKEETS By pow Walling Daw WALLING—, SureE, SKEETS. PAINT THIS ON ALL THE FENCES IN TOWN! THE ~~ COPS WONT DARE STOP’ us ! WE'LL In their eletion, the people of Northern California might well pause and ask themselves: What has been the cost? The cost to the United States can be counted in the loss of seventy five $1,000,000 superfortresses by alone. enemy action Millions and millions of dollars already have been spent to make possible these gigantic raids. Millions and millions more will have to be spent to keep them goin. And those bombings are just one phase of the effort that will be needed to knock Japan out of the war. How much will it cost, in terms of dollars, to land in China, to transport and supply our army there, to maintain the greatest Navy in the world’s history? e answer is war bonds, and more bonds. The Mighty Seventh War Loan Drive is now in its fourth week. Only three more weeks of the greatest money raising effort in history remains. Indications are that every Northern California citizen will have to step up his or her bond selling activities if quotas are to be reached. Every person in every home in every community must meet the challenge. There can be no backsliding. NAVY EXPECTS BIG INCREASE IN PACIFIC MAIL Anticipating a greatly volume of mail addressed overseas——perhaips as increased to much Both newspapers and magazines require’ considerable shipping space and both contain much matter that is of little interest to the men who receive ‘them, since nearly all ships and bases have their own facilities for getting the world news.

Servicemen now are required to make a written request for a new subscription or renewal of subscription to ‘any publication. Like other types of mail, the volpost going through Navy statics, carefully kept since; cigeo also hag grown by leaps and the inception ,of its wartime mail. pounds. The navy will go to great service, already reflect the gigantic!lengths to see that packages from increase in the volume of mail passto the ships.at sea and the far away naval bases of the Pacific ocean. In a recent week, for example, the fleet post office dispatched 6832 pouches of mail to men overseas, but in the same week of 1944 the volume of mail amounted only to a little over 2000 pouches. Oddly enough, navy mail statistics show, that the volume of mail addressed to any particular area increases at a greater. rate than the increase ih personnel on duty in that area, so with the focal point of the ‘war now solely pointing to the Pacific it is anticipated that ‘the San Francisco fleet post office will be called upon to perform a statistically staggering job in getting letters from home on their way to the men at sea. But the navy, fully aware of the morale value. of mail from home for sailors who have been away many weary, battle filled months, will get the mail to its men. At present, navy airplanes bound for the islands of the Pacific, carry tons of air mail to overseas points, but naval officials again urged both public and servicemen to use V-mail as much as possible in carrying an their correspondence. V-mail enjoys the highest air priority because it is handy to tronsport and does the job og keeping home folk and_ service men in quick, personalized contact with each other. One thing the navy hopes the publie will do toward helping. it deliver
mail to the men overseas is to send clippings from homé town newspapers about personalities and events of known interest to them rather than to send the entire newspaper. as ij home reach its men, but at the same ing through San Francisco en route . time there is hope that the public will adopt a ‘policy of sending gift packages at varied times'in the year rather than to flood the mails at a particular period such as Christmas.
