principles of the Dumbarton Oaks
conference and as further worked
out at the Yalta conference. Many
noble and Understanding statements
have come forth from those two
conferences. Some later acts have
not been so idealistic.
Stain still stands for force as
the determining factor to maintain
world peace. The United States is
pledged to the support of demo-
cratic forms of government through
out the world. Great Britain occu-
pies somewhat middle ground with
leanings toward the position taken
by Stain.
In the proposals coming forth
from the Dumbarton Oaks confer
ence it is said 1.-The Organization (for
world peace) is based on the prin-
ciple Of the sovereign equality of
all loving states 1t further
says:
with a view to the creation of
conditions of stability and well-be-
ing which are necessary for the
peaceful and friendly relations
among nations, the Organization
should facilitate solutions of eco
nomic, social and other humanitar-
ian problems and promote respect
for human rights and fundamental
freedoms"
A part of the Yalta declaration
is that
'They (the Big Three) jointly
declare their mutual agreement to
concert during the temporary Pc
riod of instability in liberated Eu-
rope the policies of their three gov
ernments in assisting the peoples
liberated from the domination OF
Nazi Germany and the peoples OF
the former Axis satellite states Of
Europe to solve by democratic
means their pressing political and
economic problems.
THE establishment of order ir
Europe and the rebuilding of ma
tional economic life must be
achieved by processes which viii
enable the liberated peoples to de.
stroy the last vestiges Of Nazisn
and Fascism and to create demo
cratic institutions of their owr
choice. This is principle of the
Atlantic Charter-the right of al
peoples to choose the form of gov
eminent under which they will live
the restoration of sovereign rights
and government to those PEG
Piles who have been forcibly de
prived of them by the aggressol
nations
ITO foster the conditions in which
the liberated people may exercise
these rights, the three government
will jointly assist the people in an,
European liberated state or formel
Axis satellite state in Europe wher,
in their judgment conditions require
(A) to establish conditions of inter
nal peace; (B) to carry out emer

The proposed set-up for the MVA
would place complete power Of its
organization and administration in
the hands of less than dozen men
to be appointed by the President
for long terms and to be account
able to no one but the President.
Thus the power to hire and fire, to
decide and regulate, and to make or
break those effected by the prof.
ect rests entirely in the hands of
a few men who cannot be reached
by popular opinion. A bureaucratic
dictatorship responsible only to one
mantle President Of the United
States, is the plan.
Doubtless the same set-up will
apply to the Columbia River Valley
Authority when and if it becomes
a reality Such management is UNI

Those are fine sounding .declara-
tons If followed they would exert
a powerful force for peace. But let's
watch what comes out of the San
Francisco conference. And what is
of equal or greater Importance, let's
watch carefully the present actions
of the nations on whose shoulders
rests the responsibility Of putting
those declarations into operation

Comments on Matters
Important and Unimportant,
Wise and UnWise
BY Chas. D. Rowe

We are unquestionably too close
to his time to evaluate properly
Franklin D. Roosevelt's place in
history. He lived during disturbed
period, when political and social
institutions were in flux and when
mems minds were troubled and
confused. During his time the forces
of tyranny and oppression once
again challenged the theory of dem
ocratic government and individual
freedom, let us hope for the last
time. During these troubled decades,
Franklin D. Roosevelt was chosen
as the chief executive of a great,
liberty-loving nation And he &C.
cupied an outstanding position
among the leaders of the world.
History will probably accord Mr..
Roosevelt a high place because of
his endeavor to advance certain So
cial reforms in his own nation, re-
forms that were long past due
and his determination to improve
the lot of the common people. His
tory will also judge him for the
important part he has played in the
present world conflict and in the
endeavor to work out a formula
for permanent peace. Time is yet
required to tell whether his do
nestle policies were wise for the
nation and whether his plans for
world peace will work out success
fully. President Roosevelt's stature
in history will rest largely on those
| two results.
| Today not only the nation but the
world honors him as one of the
outstanding leaders of our time and
mourns his passing. Being human
he had some of the human weak
nesses. But he strove to make the
world better place in which &c
live. His passing has shocked anc
grieved millions because of the
prominent part he has played or
the worlds stage. But we are serene
in our conviction that the hand o.
Providence still can be seen in the
working out Of our destiny.
The nation will watch with great
concern, tempered with hope, the
manner in which President Truman
administers the crushing duties thai
have come to him because Of Mr.
Roosevelt's death. His first few
acts give promise for the future
He Immediately called able men K
i his assistance He gathered a group
of divergent thinking senators
around him at a dinner and laid the
groundwork for cooperation witt
that branch Of congress. His public
utterances are characterized by ;
| praise-worthy humility and higl
ideals. It will be the earnest prayer
of the nation that he will measure
up to high craftsmanship under thu
tremendous tasks that are now OF
his shoulders.

LOCAL COUPLE
TAKE MARRIAGE VOWS

Arnold J. Hansen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Hansen, Libby, and
Miss Helen NJ. Franklin, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Franklin,
Fortine, were married before a
flower banked altar at the Ev.
Lutheran Church at 10 o'clock in
the morning, last Thursday April
IL, with the Rev. A. T. Juvland
reading the service.
Mrs. George Fisher, sister of the
bridegroom, and Ira Tester stood

That evening, the immediate Han

enjoyed a lovely wedding dinner.

on to. join the ranks OF the I'M
mortals.
Regardless of political persuasion
or agreement with Mr.. Roosevelt's
philosophy of government, all
Americans recognize him as man
of outstanding accomplishment. Any
man who can and does overcome a
physical handicap such as the late
President had, is a person of in
domitable strength Of mind and will
power.
In the realm of politics and gov
eminent f. D, r. was equally strong.
Few measures really desired and
sought for by him, failed to be ac-
complshed. He never acknowledged
defeat but if rebuffed in an under
taking, Immediately laid plans to ac-
complsh his purpose from a differ
ent angle-and seldom did he fail in
reaching his goal.
Not alone was Mr.. Roosevelt pop
ular with citizens of his own coun-
try. but he was looked upon by
Canadians and the peoples of Eu-
rope as the guiding light Of a great
democracy, and was considered the
greatest living exponent Of democ-
racy-and as such was loved or
hated in proportion, depending upon
sthe nationality of the individual
Before the United States entered
the present conflict, Canadians re-
marked to US: I'VE hope President
Roosevelt will be reelected. If he
is, you people will soon be helping
us with the war, and we have tc
have your help"
