M. L. Russian, truculence begins to get on American nerves. ‘Russian interest in Tripoli and in Italian prewar colonies also tries the patience of our British friends. Her refusal to consider our state department’s plan of internationalization of the Danube, the Keil Canal, and the Dardanesllas adds to the headache of both British and American diplomats. Last but not least in the way of aggravation is Russia’s criticism of MacArthur’s and inferentially of the U. S. administration of Japan. Russia apparently forgets that it was Uncle Sam who in. large part made her huge manpower effective in the late war. In criticising MacArthur, she forgets her part in the war against Japan numbered about as many weeks as our did in years in reducing the Japs. In barring our plan for. internationilization »water ways in Europe, she forgets the huge effort we made in defeating Italy and in helpng mightily to defeat Germany. We think this forgetfulness may be more apparent than real. After all the greatest democracy on earth gave a convincing demonstration of force, without considering the atomic bomb, providing billions of dollars of help for our allies” besides fighting on Atlantic and Pacific fronts.

The picture ‘Here Comes the Yanks’’ was presented to assembled commiteemen and women by Clay Caldwell, public relations chairman for Grass Valley. Rev. Buck introduced to the group Vernon’ Stoll, who as county chairman, appointed by Governor Warren is charged with the administration of the entire county campaign. Stoll spoke briefly, saying: “The six months’ of the coming fall and winter will be one of the most critical periods in human history.“The victory in the Pacific, and the morale problems of occupation, demobilization and mean a. peak load for the USO and USO Camp Shows, with no possble retrenchment until spring . “The crisis in Europe, tev. convalescence with Gernot yet won, means that these six months will settle for millions of the liberated the grim question of sheer survival, and also will largely shape the kind of peace and theekind of world with which we shall have to. live. . “Wor albly at least six months and probfor a year. therefore, there ean A FREE PRESS = ‘TORCH OF = RESTATING THE PRESS CODE OF ETHICS FOR NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK OCTOBER 1-8, 1945 We believe that journalism is an honorable profession, . the welfare lof society ‘in [War as in Peace. We believe that the success of democratic government ‘depends upon . sound public jopinion, and {that the newspaper should aid jin creating and maintaining sound public opinion by publishing ‘significant news jand editorial interpretation ‘of news. ‘be no substitute for the service of! the private agencies. As President . Truman has said, their role is dispensable and unique.”’ So to bring ee . in-.! century, Russian arms have come @f victorious, and quite naturally the . Russians attribute their victory to. their system of government, which, ‘when all is said, amounts to state socialism rather than--eommunisin. The people live, for the govérnment and not the government for the people. AS regards her near neighbors, it seems to us that Russia is almost as domineering over them: as were . ‘port—-when it is the Germans. But we -try to think . that they are dominated not only in . Ruesia’s interest, but also for their} own welfare. We thus try-to think, . but somehow it does not go down. Pattern is’ an old one and instinct. ively we recognize it for what it is. It! ig tyranny of a great power exercised iby a few men. Out of the welter of confusion attending this birth of peace, however, we are beginninig to see dimly as through a fog, the promitories of Vy, §. international policy. It is based on trwo outstanding facts: First—-Of all mations on earth we have the most money, the most goods, and ability make goods in the same abundance now as we did for war. Second—War has greatly impoverished all nations, and though our abundance has been decreased, we are still immeasurably richer than the rest of the world. Tt may seem ignoble to bargain with nations which have been war devastated, and it may be thus viewed from an idealistic stnadpoint. But one thing grows clearer every minmite in these immediate post ‘war days. If, as the great majority of Americans believe, the democratic way of life, is the best way, then we re warranted in bargaining to establish it throughout the world in so far as human nature, capable adoptinig and prospering in our-way of life. If our state department sticks to that point of view, keeps it constantly in the foreground in all the discussions now proceeding, we may not} obtain all that we desire, but we can extend democracy to millions of converts with appropriate modifications to suit the varying needs of a var4ed world. For those nations with one palm outstretched for help that we can give, and other hand holding tight to every advantaoe it can wrest from victims of war, we can give or we can withhold. Certainly we should withhold all aid from Russia, so long as it purgues its present policy of ‘‘get, while the getting is good.” Tf we give them anything, let it be for our good as well as that of the Russians, and, above ai let it be a bargain in which those around the world who believe in democracy will benefit. jand caring In all eieiaey, no nation was ever sympathy and sup-. most needed—to the. brave peoples who are as_ yet too . stunned, exhausted cold and eons to stand on their own feet unaided, we have stepped up European relief budgets and the budgets for the Philippines in order: to concentrate our help within the coming fall and ‘winter. “The American people have spent hundreds of ‘billions to prove that the United States can win wars. Surely they are now ready to give and demonstrate that they are loyal as ever to those in our own armed forcés, and still friendly and generous to suffering and strickenneighbors in their time of greatest need.’’ L. R. Farrell, Nevada County public relations. chairman, told the meeting that: ‘‘By October 1st, the community should be prepared and we are confident will respond to this thanks for victory campaign. National state and local publicity will have the right of way. The OWI allotted 4 weeks of national radio time, Sevtember 17 to October 13, with many major network programs and with September 30 designated as Natonal War Chest Sunday. “The president of the United States will speak on all net works October 2 at 7:30 D. m.

BOY AND GIRL SCOUTS STILE WANT BUCKSKINS Collection of deer hides is continuing on the Bloomfield ranger district of the Tahoe national forest reports Ranger Warren Barnes of Nevada City. The fire suppression crews on the district are receiving for the hides as in past years. The hides are then turned! over to the Boy or Girl Scouts and sold to a tannery wn Ranger Barnes. Hides may be left at the local Nevada City office, 111, North Pine Street or at the fire suppression stations at either White Cloud or North Bloomfield. Hunters are urged to cooperate in turning in hides as the proceeds are not only used in a worthy cause but the deer is then more completely utilized rather than wasted states Ranger Barnes. in a better position to bargain with advantage to ourselves and the oppressed peoples of the ‘world, than the United States of America at this moment. And we don’t need the atomic bomb argument, to strike a good bargain. prepared for 'the great responsibilities placed upon them. We believe that a newspaper should publish the truth, the whole truth, . and nothing ‘but the ‘truth concerning all matters of jimportance to read. ers as jcitizens of the-community, state and the nation. We believe that a newspaper that goes into the . home should publish nothing that cannot be read aloud in the family circle. We believe that news lof crime, scandal and vice should be presented in such a manner as to deter readers from attempting to ‘imitate the crim. inal and the victims. We believe that jall persons and all organizations are entitled to fair play in the columns of the newspaper. We believe in. the right #€.privacy of ‘individuals in all matters . not of public concern. We believe that no propaganda or publicity sittin should be published unless it contains information ito ‘Which readers are entitled, and that: whenever such material is printed, its source should ‘be plainly indicated. We believe that neither the /business interests of a newspaper nor any . outside influence should interfere with the publication of jthe truth in news or editorials. We believe that the purpose jof newspaper advertising is to create a demand for commodities or jservices, to inform readers, not to mislead or defraud them. We believe that editorials should ‘present the truth las the writer sees . it, uncolored by bias, prejudice or partisanship. We believe that advertisements should be clean and wholesome as news and pditorials and that suchadvertisements are essential to the development lof our high standards of living. We believe that rates for subscriptions ‘and jadvertisements should be . sufficient to insure the publisher a fair profit. We believe that all statements of circulation should give actual number of bona fide subscribers. We believe that only such newspapers jas maintain the highest standards of truth, honesty and decency ‘in news, editorials ‘and ladvertisements deserve the support of the community. We believe that ‘if business ‘is worth having it is worth going after, and that la prosperous newspaper ‘can do more for its community than one ‘that is “ill-equipped, ill-housed and ill-supported.”’ We believe in our state and its unlimited ‘possibilities and will do all in our power to sell it to our people and the nation.

PROCLAMATION . National Newspaper Week, to be . . observed throughout the United . States from October 1 to 8, has as its . theme, aoe. _ Press — Torch of pres. Peace.’ During the years of war now ended in military victory, American newspapers have given new proof uf {the fundamental contribution. which . they make daily to the life and vitality of the republic. They kept us ; alerted to the needs and trends of the day. They gave us an understanding of the purposes of the’ national] effort, and of our individual responsibilities in relation to the war. As we enter the post war period with visions of permanent world us we look upon the war record of the American press with confidence that those who have ibeen recently freed in all parts of the world can learn and profit by our exiperience. It was a responsible press ‘built upon the structure of freedom which helped to inspire our people to make history’s greatest military bid for permanent peace. Its publishers, editors and_ printers helped to maintain a high level of enlightenment in every community and nutured the high morals necessary for military success. They created an understanding of the need for thousands of volunteer workers the programs through which ; people made special wartime tributions. With these thoughts in mind, ‘f, Fiarl Warren, governor of California, do hereby proclaim the week of . October 1 to October 8 to be News‘paper Week in,California. In so do-} ing it is my hope that understanding of the protecton of liberty which is afforded by a free press will ibe advanced and that through this understanding, the press can better serve as the torch of world wide peace and freedom. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 26th day of Septemiber, A. D., One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Five.

In this hour of exultation we shoudl dedicate ourserves anew to the perpetuation of one of our cherished heritages—freedom of the press. It is with a sense of genuine pride that I can emphasize to all American editors and puiblishere and bring to the attention of Americans everywhere one singular triumph of our war experience. That is that the Am_ erican free press through the stress of the most horrible of all wars withstood subversive and open attack and operated under a voluntary code of censorship. Ours then is the plain duty, as we face the grave days ahead, to work without ceasing to make a free press the true torch of world peace. ~ (s) HARRY TRUMAN.

PROCLAMATION . National Newspaper Week, to be . . observed throughout the United . States from October 1 to 8, has as its . theme, aoe. _ Press — Torch of pres. Peace.’ During the years of war now ended in military victory, American newspapers have given new proof uf {the fundamental contribution. which . they make daily to the life and vitality of the republic. They kept us ; alerted to the needs and trends of the day. They gave us an understanding of the purposes of the’ national] effort, and of our individual responsibilities in relation to the war. As we enter the post war period with visions of permanent world us we look upon the war record of the American press with confidence that those who have ibeen recently freed in all parts of the world can learn and profit by our exiperience. It was a responsible press ‘built upon the structure of freedom which helped to inspire our people to make history’s greatest military bid for permanent peace. Its publishers, editors and_ printers helped to maintain a high level of enlightenment in every community and nutured the high morals necessary for military success. They created an understanding of the need for thousands of volunteer workers the programs through which ; people made special wartime tributions. With these thoughts in mind, ‘f, Fiarl Warren, governor of California, do hereby proclaim the week of . October 1 to October 8 to be News‘paper Week in,California. In so do-} ing it is my hope that understanding of the protecton of liberty which is afforded by a free press will ibe advanced and that through this understanding, the press can better serve as the torch of world wide peace and freedom. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 26th day of Septemiber, A. D., One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty Five.

In this hour of exultation we shoudl dedicate ourserves anew to the perpetuation of one of our cherished heritages—freedom of the press. It is with a sense of genuine pride that I can emphasize to all American editors and puiblishere and bring to the attention of Americans everywhere one singular triumph of our war experience. That is that the Am_ erican free press through the stress of the most horrible of all wars withstood subversive and open attack and operated under a voluntary code of censorship. Ours then is the plain duty, as we face the grave days ahead, to work without ceasing to make a free press the true torch of world peace. ~ (s) HARRY TRUMAN.
