TWO SECTION Established 1873 ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1949 163-49 Senator Morse Says Army Engineers Carry On Snide Political Attack Oh Him AP Special Washington Service WASHINGTON, July 12. OF) Senator Morse (R-Ore) said to-, day that "some personnel in the Portland (Oregon) offices of the Army Engineers are carrying on a subtle and snide political attack against me." He made the comment in a let ter to Secretary Cordon Gray of the Army. "It has been reported to me by friends, whose veracity I know to be unimpeachable, that some of the personnel of the Portland Army Engineers' office, includ ing both civilians and army offi cers, seek to undetermine me po litically by advising my constitu ents that if they want any help from the Army Engineers in Washington, D. C, on flood con trol matters they should seek it through the office of my col-, league, Senator Cordon (R-Ore-gon) rather than through me be cause Senator Cordon is the only one who can do them any good." Morse wrote Gray. "Such political activity on the part of any one in the office of the Army Engineers is unfair, not only to me but to Senator Cordon." He said he and Cordon have the finest political and personal relationship and the action is just as injurious to Cordon as to him. "There Is, of course, no bias in fact for any such representation on the part of anyone in the Army Engineers' office because Senator Cordon and I have al ways worked together in support of the various projects over which the Army Engineers have juris diction In our slate," Morse said. Army Man Quoted Morse told Gray he had Just received a letter from a constitu ent in which an unidentified "Mr. McDuffee" of the Army was said to have told the constituent "Sen ator Morse is not helping you any too much in getting your funds for Army's flood control works. All you can expect from the Army now is moral support." Morse said some of his con stituents have advised him that the Army engineers resent the fact that in speeches in Oregon he has made it clear he favors the Hoover Commission recom mendation in respect to the engi neers. The Hoover Commission recom mends that they be placed in a public works department or that their activities be transferred to the Interior Department. Morse said his constituents also had expressed the opinion the en gineers "are opposed to me po litically because they know I am not opposed to a sound publfc power program in any district in my state where the people de cide tney want to be served by a public power project rather than by a private utility." Morse asked that Gray send him a list of the personnel of the Portland engineers' office, both military and civilian, with a sum mary of their personnel records. Senator Cordon declined to comment.

The Young Republicans organ ization added its recall petition to the movement against Elliott yesterday. The petition was pre sented to the district attorney for review before actual filing.

William Colonial Economic System Gone, Britain Faces Dollar Dilemma By JAMES D. WHITE Associated Press Foreign News Analyst One of the big reasons for Britain's money trouble goes far deeper than dollars. This is the fact that Britain's place in the scheme of world busi ness can never be what it used to be. Under the right conditions it might be as great, but never the same. In the old days the sun never set on the British empire. Brit ain's colonist sons made deals that gave the mother country the world's highest living standard at the time. This is no longer possible now that the empire is changing into a union of equal partner-nations. one of Britain s promaoie op erations under the old system was to buy raw materials in the lands her armed forces held. These raw materials were, taken to England and made into finish ed consumer goods. These con sumer goods were shipped back to the colonies and sold to the natives. This worked until the "natives" began making their own goods and getting fresh new Ideas about running their own show gener ally. There came a time when the cost of keeping some colonies in that condition outran the pre dictable return. As a people, the British never got so nearsighted while clipping coupons from colonial invest ments that they couldn't read the handwriting on the wall. They led all colonial powers in thinking up a civilized way to avoid the explosion that could have taken place if tne colonial world nao got a flat "no" to Its demands for" freedom. Transforming an empire of sub servient colonies Into a common wealth of equal partners is one of the major political feats of history. It isn't finished yet, but is well on lis way and the British are largely responsible. Britain had to tackle tne deli cate part of this lust as she emerged exhausted from World War II and faced a postwar world tnat had turned to other supplies. Some of her own dependencies, to wnom sne now owed money for the war, were buying else where. Within the framework of the new commonwealth, she has tried LOOK FOR THIS SIGN WHEN YOU PAINTING f!DECOBAT!NO ' ICONTPACTOPS 1AMEP5CA THINK OF DECORATING You are protected when you deal with members of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America 1.

In other words, the old Britain was as rich as she was partly because of her colonies. The colonial economic system through which they added to her wealth is on its way out. Britain now competes in world markets on a different basis, and her resources and techniques have not yet proved up to the job. America has taken her place as chief supplier of finished goods to the world, and the demand for such American goods has put the Yankee dollar ahead of the pound sterling at the world's most want ed money, Britain herself must seek dol lars, so she can buy things she needs from this country, or from areas demanding dollars. But these are secondary things. The basic fact seems to be that Britain ain't what she used to be. That was a factory for a colonial world where she had the inside track to buy and sell pretty much on her own terms. The basic British good sense which realized this state of things could not last lorever is some thing the world should never for get. Horde Of Caterpillars Misses Eugene Environs EUGENE, July 12.

Senator Dulles Favors North Atlantic Treaty WASHINGTON, July 13-UP aenaior uuues ik.-n. r.) yester day urged Senate approval of the North Atlantic Pact. He said it is the only measure that prom ises to save "our hopes for . a peaceful and free Europe. i Dulles said the Pact should save Germany for the west and spike "the Communist twin guns oi xaise promise ana threat." . The New Yorker, appointed only last week by Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, took sharp issue with Senator Taft (R.-Ohio) in his first senate speech. Without mentioning the Ohio senator oy name, Dulles disputed Taft's contention that the pact commits this country a tremen dous foreign arms program. Answering Taft's assertion that the security . pact could not be regarded as a supplement to the United Nations charter "by any stretch of the Imagination, Dulles declared: ; "I have heard it said here thht this North Atlantic Treaty does violence to the spirit if not the letter of -the United Nations Charter and that It represents a step backward. If I believed that, I would, of course, oppose the treaty. "It is my opinion that the North Atlantic Treaty, far from being a step backward, is a step forward." Dulles told his colleagues that by offering a solid front among the free nations, the treaty may keep the strategically placed Germans from turning toward a Soviet alliance under which "all our hopes and plans for a peace ful and free Europe would crash to the ground."
