Washington Conference Does
Practical Job On British
Crisis, Analyst Confirms
Bv HEWITT MACKENZIE
AP Foreign Newi Anelyat
That seems to be a business
like and practical Job the Ameri-can-Britlsn-Canadlan
conference
at Washington has done by way
of giving emergency aid in John
Bull's economic crisis.
It's more than Just an economic
remedy. It gives a real lift to the
morale of a very hard-pressed
England and to the numerous
other countries v hose welfares
are interlocked with hers.
The agreements were worked
out with due regard to the dignity
of Britain, and to the bonds of
friendship. The conferees tackled
the problem in the same spirit of
u lily and cooperation shown dur
ing the dark days of the World
War.
Saved Collapse
Undoubtedly the aid would have
been arranged had no other na
tion than Britain been concerned.
But quite apart from the proposi
tion of helping a staunch war
time ally it was very clear
that an international catastrophe
whuld be precipitated if she were
allowed to collapse. As Canadian
finance Minister Douglas Abbott
DUt it:
"We go up or down together."
The task of the conferees in
this initial meeting related to
Britain's shortage of dollars. She
is earning far less dollars than
Revetment Repair Bids
To Be Let This Week
PORTLAND, Sept U-OPi A
series of revetment repair and
channel Improvement on the Mo
lalla, Clackamas, Willamette,
McKenzle and South Santiam
rivers will be up for bid this
week.
The corps of engineers report
ed that the following work Is
contemplated:
Channel excavation and clear
ing four miles southeast of Jef
ferson of the South Santiam;
band protection works 10 miles
east of Springfield on the Mc
Kenzle; revetment repair at
three points on the Molalla and
three on the Clackamas rivers;
and at lower Goodpasture on the
Willamette three miles north of
Eugene.
she has to spend for essential Im
rorts. This shortage had to be
made up, and the conference de
vised a ten-point program to meet
requirements. I ne agreements in
clude these:
Agreements Stated
The United States and Canada
are expected to buy more tin and
ruooer from Britain for stock oil
ing Britain will be permitted to
i ipi id Marshall plan dollars in
countries otner tnan tne united
i .ates, such as the purchase of
whett in Canada a 1 1 h o u e h
America has an exportable sur
plus. Britain will be free to dis
criminate against ). s. and Cana
dian goods to build up her non
dollar Imports, and so conserve
aonars.
On the face of it. of course. Eng
land will be benefiting in some
ce es at the expense of America.
The answer to thit is that Uncle
Sari's contribution is an invest
ment for insuranc. against a
greater calamity.
Steps Drain
Sir Stafford Cripps, British
chancellor of the exchequer, says
he is convinced the agreement
will block any futher dangerous
d-alns on Britain's gold reserve.
However, I don't believe we
should take this as Indication that
I Britain's economic problem has
been solved. It Is first aid. Her
trouble is far more deep-seated,
as this column pointed out.
The vast industrial develop
ment of other countries during
the past generation greatly
speeded by two world wars has
upset Britain's economic apple
cart. She must devise new ways
and means to meet this situation,
She may achieve this by carrying
out her plan of developing her
potentially rich colonies.
However, such development
isn i an overnignt jod.

Democrats Think Right
Man May Win At Polls
PORTLAND llPt The Demo
cratic National committee thinks
republican Congressmen Lowell
Stockman and Homer Angell can
be beat If Oregon Democrats will
nominate good men to oppose
them.
For that matter, Victor Hunt
Harding, executive secretary of
the committee, said here, "I see
no reason why we could not beat
Harris Ellsworth and Walter Nor
blad." The key, he said In an Inter
view while on a look-see trip
here, is picking good Democrats.
"There Is material available and
(t should be looked over care
fully." Last year the national commit
tee decided Oregon's democratic
candidates failed to measure up,
so the committee stayed out of
the state.
Harding said while selection Is
a local Job, "if they nominate
good ones we will support them."
Would the national committee
support a poor candidate? "Well,
said Harding. "If it is necessary
to win, we'll make a face and
do It."
