Oregon is justly proud of its record of men and women in milit.uy service; iln position at the head of the slates of the union in war bond purchases, and in its un excelled patriotism.' Perhaps one of the reasons Oregon has consistently remained at the top in volunteers and cooperative effort in the war is the fact that its population so largely stems from the sturdy pioneem who first wrested llii- h,nrl fr, ik. wilderness.

Rationing of Oil For Fuel Extends To September 30 Mailing of ration coupons to fuel oil consumers is expected to he completed in the next few days, the district OPA announced today. With the aid of senior high school mathematics students, fig uring of the ration allotments has been proceeding rapidly, OPA of licials stated, and the ration boards which make the final de terminations expect to have most of the coupons shortly on their way. The coupons cover I ho balance of the heating year, from Febru ary 1 to September 30, it was ex plained, or two-fifths of the heal ing year which runs from Octo ber 1 lo September 30. Fuel oil users receiving coupons now can figure their allotment by adding their February 1 inventory to Hie gallonage they gel in coupons, said the OPA. and this total will be their allotment lor the remain-1 ing two fifths of the heating year which has been divided into five periods of approximately the same number of degree days. Be Tore the beginning of the next healing year, users will reregis ter for rations. Users who had larger February 1 inventories than coupons issued are warned by the OPA to con serve oil as excess inventory will be deducted from rations for the next heating year. Fuel oil coupons now being sent out are ot two types, the OPA ex plained, one of fixed value of 1-"2."i-100 gallons, good between, now and September 30. and the other type of Indefinite value and marked either 1 unit lvalue 10 gals.) or 10 units lvalue 100 gals. . The latter is good during certain periods of the year as marked on the coupons and the value of the unit is determined by the supply situation, the OPA stated. The validity date of period 4 ends March 25 but the regulations provide for an extension of 15 days into period 5 in order that suppliers may maKc one nenveiy for the two periods, pointed out. it was Russell Cary Wins Future Farmers' Speaking Contest The annual Southern Oregon district meeting of Future Farm ers of America was held at Rose burg Senir High school Satur day.

Cpncerning the NORTHWEST At Viewed at th National Capital By John W. Kelly , WASHINGTON, D, C, March 1. Out o the enthusiasm en gendered 1)1 congress by Madame Cljiajifi Kai-shek's appearance and appeal for aid has come a pro posal to repeal the Chinese ex clusion act and to admit Chinese freely and extend to them the privilege of becoming citizens of the United States. Sponsorship for this measure (HR 1882) did not come from any member, from the Pacific coast but from a rep resentative from a district ' in New York City. If no other group objects to the repeal, It can be taken for granted that organized labor will protest and use its lobby in the national capital to vyork against it. The Chinese ex clusion act came as a result of apprehension that Chinese cheap labor would take the jobs of the white men. How effective the Chinese ex clusion act has been is attested by the bureau ol the census of 1940. At that time there were only 77, 804 Chinese in this country, and probably 90 per cent of these were native born, the balance being "old countrymen." The three Pa cific coast states alone had 44,- 195 of the total Chinese popula tion. This is a far cry from Hie days when the Chinese swarmed everywhere on, the west coast Three years ago (latest census) there were 2,345 in Washington, 2.086 in Oregon and 39,556 in Cali fornia. In 1880 there were 10,000 in Portland alone, one of every four of the population. By way of comparison, 1940 census showed 126,94.7 Japanese In the entire country, with 14,503 in Washing ton and 4,071 in Oregon. Agitation against the Chinese (originally brought in by the ship load to build railroads and de velop the west coast) found voice in Dennis Kearney on the sand lots of San Francisco, and this agitator stirred up the people un til there were raids against the Chinese in Tacoma and other nlaces in the northwest; I bey " ... a..,: were driven oui or lowns. um coolie" riots became a pastime.

So enthused was congress that I it would have given her the '. bronze statue of the Spirit of j Freedom, which surmounts the . capltol dome, had, she asked for it. It needed someone ot the sianu- '.nh8e lKK direct attention to a fact everyone in the Pacific northwest knows, that the Japanese are more of a danger than the Germans and they should be dealt with at the earliest date.

They are only now producing Iheir disastrous and unwanted resuus. we cannot but recall that for years peo ple in this nation have been taught that morals do not mat ter, that if they have any im Dortance at all it is a purely relative importance resting on a variety of local customs and sanction never on truth that is of God and universal. This proved to be a major and tragic error, as a consequence jf which we lost sight of the primary fact about civiliza ion, that it is built on moral tgrcements and restraints which are commonly accept ed by Its members.
