CITY, Y, CALIFORNIA _The Gold Center MONDAY, SEPT EMBER af af 1943 Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. Too much emphasis, perhaps, is being placed on the need of an airtight agreement between the Anglo-American peoples and the Russians as a condition to » world peace following the war. We lost sight of the fact that Russia, from a modern standpoint ig a new, one mighit almost say, virgin country with vast resources in land, minerals, timber and oil, that have just begun to be developed. It would seem as if another ‘century will roll by ‘before Russia is in a position to compete seriously in world markets, for instance, with the Anglo-Americans. Whatever the form of government, on her economic phase one can gamble that Ru8sia will be occupied for generations to come in developing her resources. There is in Russia no. land hunger, no legensraum that might lead to ambitious sallies against richer neighbors, and as a matter of fact, from ‘the standpointt of natural wealth there are no richer neighbors, not even the United States, and probably not even the British Empire with all its tremendous natural riches. As a world: power, however, Russia has one great need, a need that thas existed ‘cenituries ago, one which has never ‘been satisfied. . That need is a warm water port that can be used the year around. The lack of such a port may account in large measure for the general backwardness of Russia as compared .with the Seandinavian countries, and Western European nations. We surmise that if Anglo-American statesmen could find a way to internationalize the Dardanelles, and make it the world thoroughfare that either the Suez or the ‘Panama (Canal, is, Russia might be quite willing to forego its ambitions to recapture that part of Poland lost in the first World, War, and parts of Finland, that now seem to hamper cordial relations among the United Nations. Off hand ‘we can think of no good reason that’ adjustments could not be made to provide Russia a corridor to the Persian Gulf. We do not mean, a forcible seizure of the property of small nations to appease a greater nation. But since we have found that we can raise, around the world 500 billion dolJars for war ‘purposes, it seems reasonable, if tthe United Nations leaders were to put their minds to it, more billidns might be found ‘to compensate’ Turkey or Persia, for whatever rights were ceded, or poth, if such ‘contribution would assist in mainitaining a long term ‘peace, i To aid inthe development of Russia’s food resources, minerals, and petroleum, would not enly be a real service to (Russia, when ‘peace is established, ‘but would gsulbmerged Asiatics who now ‘have only a day to day security against hunger. In the long run it would lessen the burden of actual charricher in the sense of natural endowments and industrial developments. Sesioer ce oeaeaetees . -'The world will need Russian commodities when the war ends: There will be .a market, indeed, for everything that human hands. can produce anywhere around {tthe globe, and the.more hands ‘that ean be busied producing food, clothing, building materials, and all’ the infinite variety of things for human ‘consumption and use, the more permanent the peace will be. he Ou sta, 1 We never ‘have been much concerned with ‘Russia’s internal governmental arrangements. If 'they suit the Russians they suit us. something -that Russia herself would not tolerate, namely ‘a vast system of proselyting ito convert other peoples to their philosophy of government. But we think Russia has gotten over this phase of As a measure of assistance in the present ‘War Bond drive, the Bank of America branches ‘have made special arrangements to allow interest for the month of July and August on funds withdrawn from savings accounts for the purpose of purchasing ‘bonds at this time. Depositors making such withdrawals will therefore enjoy the benefit of savings bank interest practically wp to date of making purchases and will receive government bond interest thereafter, thus avoiding the usual penalty attached to withdrawal. of funds between bank interest periods. : E.' M. Rector, vice president and manager of the Grass Valley ‘branches and H. A. Curnow, manager of ‘Nevada ‘City branch, unite in stating that numerous depositors of the banks .have expressed their desire to ibuy war bonds, but have refrained from doing so because of losing’ the ‘ interest on‘ their savings accounts !‘for approximately two months when . making withdrawals for bond pur. chases. ; Depositors Protected The bank’s present concession will take care of this ‘situation and protect such depositors. It is therefore . hoped that those who now desire to buy war bonds and charge the same to their savings accounts will feel free to take advantage of the bank’s precent regulation. Such applicants ‘for bonds should present their sav. ings pass books at the banks person-jally when filing their applications. It must be remembered that this jis the first bond drive of the preslent war in which commercial banks . have not been permitted to buy bonds for their own account: There ‘is a sound reason behind this, ‘government for i] es, 4 purchases now inasmuch as such practice results in in'flation. When the banks pay the their bond purchasthe government immediately ‘deposits :the same amounts with the banks, as is the ‘case when people! ‘buy bonds and charge the cost: of same to their bank accounts. banks have made substantial puch-! ases of ‘bonds in previous es, the strain imposed upon public; is correspondingly re-; heavy. 2 Must Redouble Efforts Grass Valley and Nevada City with their former population of miners reduced from 2500 to 200 or 300 are therefore faced ‘with a tough problem. While Chairman Howard Bennetts, (Co-chairman Clarence Grenfell and the various committee members have ‘been working ‘hard and long to attain the quota set for Grass Valley ($325,000) and H. W. Sheldon, committee chairman ‘for Nevada City.has been doing the same (quota '$240,000) the results to date are somewhat disappointing, and indicate that Nevada county people, new as well as old, must double and redouble their purchases of the county quota of $827,000 is to by the help given Russia in this war have demonstrated ‘they have certain advantages. Russia for instance had given no help to her alliés, ‘her task simply being too huge for any additional strain of providing, the Balkans for in-. stance, with the means to fight off 'the (Germans. So, when the war ‘is. over, it would, seem doubtful whether Russia, even if so disposed, will be able to raise any money for subsidizing propaganda in the democracies. So far as communism invading nations poverty stricken because of German invasion, is concerned, that, too, fails to arouse consternation. We ‘believe so devotely in each nation or people working out its own salvation and government within its national framework, that we don’t give w continental if all of Germany goes bolshevik at war’s end. It seems to wus, we should not be jinterested except when the internal’ tea-pot boils over on, adjacent peoples and threaten to involve them in war. Then lets us hope, that we, the United Nations, «will have the .power and, even more “necessary, the wisdom, to put out the fire before anyone gets. burned. her development.

Schiffner, general manager of Lava Cap Gold Mining Corporation, reports that he has increased his working forces at the Keystone (Mine at {Copperopolis, Calaveras county to 140 men, and ‘has -now reached his first objectivé; the pro. duction of 6,000,000 pounds of copper annually. ~ “While we are nowproducing ‘500,000 pounds of copper monthly,”’ . Schiffner said, ‘“I.am confident that we will be able to double that production within a year.” All work on the Lava (Cap has been suspended but the well-equipped machine shops of the mine. located at the Central Shaft, are busily engaged in turning out forgings for the government.

Totten: I ask what for, first. The Court: For the purpose of pronouncing judgment in the case. Totten: I have not been fairly dealt with. If a man is supposed to put things of imagination ‘when I was there, and the man I was supposed to shoot was only six ‘o two inches from me and the doctor said there were powder burns—if a man is not allowed self defense, in this state or any place, especially when the is crippled—if I am not allowed to protect myself—I have no reason to stand up before the court. The Court; Mr. Totten, the court is simplly suggesting that you follow custom and the usual practice of the court. Of course, I appreciate your views of the case, but it makes, really very little difference whether you stand or not. \ Totten: Give me the gas chamber if you want.
