Commonwealth Meeting Will Discuss Ideas to Build up Oregon When Peace Is Restored. I Colonization Problem to Be i Met—Federal Representa tives to Speak. I 1 The aim of tho Commonwealth Con ference which will meet nt the Univer ■ elty during the first week in .Tune will he to enlist all the best constructive minds in the state for work along lines to get. the people ready to prepare for peace according to Professor F. G. Young, director of the Commonwealth Conference and professor of sociology at the University. “The world will take a fresh start after the war,” Professor Y'oung said, “and Oregon probably is one of the larg est spots in the country where both labor and capital will need to be re constructed on a new basis. The com. monwealth conference lends itself to just this sort of an opportunity.” A group of disinterested capitalists, for example, he explained would form | an Oregon capital investments com- I mittee, who should define the invest- j ruent.s in the state and make n report 1 BASEBALL GOODS TENNIS SUPPLIES FISHING TACKLE Everything You Want In Sporting Goods.

Speakers for this conference will be chosen from representatives of the federal service such as the public health ofice, the commission on immigration, forestry, education, highways and mem bers of the University faculty.
