At the present rate of our ex ports to Britain and her common wealths, a 25 per cent cut would mean about $560 million loss to American traders, farmers, min ers, and manufacturers. But some think this loss may run as high as $700 million a year. It may mean a loss of around 30 per cent of commonwealth trade and one-third or better of exports to the United Kingdom alone. They figure It this way: Britain and her commonwealths, other than Canada, are pledged to trim one-fourth off their buying from the dollar area as a whole. That Includes the United States, Cana da and most of Latin America. But foreign trade sources predict that the drop in Canadian and Latin American trade with the at Green, which he is operating.

Half The Population Of Central And South America Can't Read Or Write By JANE EADS ' WASHINGTON Seventy mil lion people, one half the popula tion of the countries of Central and South America can neither read nor write. About 19,000,000 of their children are unable to attend school. In the United Slates, with all our schools and fine free educa tion system, we have 2,800,000 persons over 14 years of age who can neither read nor write. The 1947 census reveals In addition that 8,200,000 persons of 14 and over completed less than five years of school. Leading authorities on adult ed ucation and Illiteracy, believing that Illiteracy can be wiped out, are meeting In Rio de Janlero late this month to pool their knowledge and discuss concerted hemispnero-wlde action. In addition the Seminar on II literacy and Adult Education, as it is called, will be attended by representatives of Great 'Britain, inula, trance, Holland, Egypt Italy, Canada and Puerto Rico, It will be sponsored by the gov ernment of Brazil, the United Na tions Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization t UNESCO) and the Organization of Ameri can States (OAS). Jorge Basatlre, a Pcruslan scholar who heads the cultural activities of the OAS secretariat, and Dr. Guillermo Nannettl, member of the executive council of UNESCO and former minister of education of Columbia, are co ordinating preparations for the conierence. Dr. Nannettl says that the Sem inar will never lose sight of lis main objective lo bring literacy to millions of Americans "who today are outside the realm of culture." But it will also study, as one of the objectives of lis cam paign, the civic and family moral education of the Americas, pub lic health, the Improvement of working- conditions, the use of free time for self-Improvement and conservation of natural re sources. It will also afford the different organizations for specialized services within the United Na tions a unique opportunity to strengthen their contact with the people and the realities of Am erica and to coordinate their ef forts under a single purpose of socail betterment. "As long as the problem of Il literacy remains unsolved, con cludes Dr. Nannettl, there will not be In America any democ racy, or Intelligent use of natural resources, nor constructive work, nor protection of the public health, riccause, to educate does not mean to teach someone to read and write only, but lo teach that person to lead a dignified existence, Waiter's Curiosity Nabs Big Counterfeit Ring ROME, July 21.

Buy Where You Share In The Earnings Douglas County Farm Bureau Cooperative Exchange ROSEBURG, OREGON Thone 98 Located W. Washington sterling area will be cut much less than the trade with the Unit ed States. The British aren't saying yet Just how and where they plan to scrimp. But the trade figures in volved, and the American prod ucts endangered by the new aus terity look like this: U.S. exports to the United King dom were running early this year at an annual rate of $710 million. One-fourth loss on that would be only $175 million. But Economic Cooperation Administrator Hoff man has estimated loss to Am erican exporters at $250 million, or more than a third of the total. American trade with the com monwealth nations, other than Britain and Canada, was running early this year at an annual rate of $1,545,000,000. One-fourth of that would be a loss of $386 mil lion. But foreign traders here think that the commonwealths too are likely to trim buying from us more drastically than from others in the dollar area. And they think that the percentage of loss in the commonwealth trade may run higher than in United Kingdom trade, because British buying will be bolstered by ECA funds and orders. Canada has estimated her loss of United Kingdom trade at about $75 million. She thinks her loss of commonwealth trade will . be light. She hopes that wherever there is a choice Canadian goods will be favored over America. Marshall Plan Affected Such products could be lum ber, newsprint and woodpulp, non-ferrous metals and wheat. Al ready the American farm bloc is busy trying to get congress to see that Marshall Plan dollars are spent for American surplus wheat, not Canadian. Americans realize the British are acting out of necessity, but that doesn't keep it from hurting throughout the dollar area. With the exception of sugar and news print, most of the things the Bri tish propose to buy less of are offered for sale by Americans. The American tobacco farmer has already learned that he has lost the sale of $20 million worth to the United Kingdom. How much more he'll lose in common wealth sales he doesn't know yet, but it may be enough to put a quaver in the auctioneer's chant ECA has hastened to authorize purchase of about $28 million of U.S. tobacco to bolster both Eu ropean and U.S. tobaccomen's morale. U.S.' lumbermen also learned today that ECA in authorizing purchase of $4 million of their products for the United Kingdom, at the same time took 16 million of Canadian lumber. The odds may be even shorter in the months ahead. lBPwr ad Friday and Saturday, July 22-23 I feta-- j&BmmMS . : , whits, star KH miW mW il UNA ' 1 tin 33C ; I PET IP MILK 3 tall cans . . . 35c 4 small cans . . 25c SNOWDRIFT SHORTENING, 3-LB.
