' FREIGHT RATES Fruit growers of the Grande Ronde valley and the entire Pacific Northwest were considerably encouraged yesterday when they received woitl that the Interstate , Commerce Commission had ordered a reduction of railroad freight rates on all classes of deciduous fruits, with the exception of apples, shipped from the Northwest to eastern markets. A few weeks ago these columns carried an editorial calling attention to the fact that whenever the railroads announce : a proposed increase in rates, hundreds of organizations pre '.' pare to fight to a finish against such an increase, and that ' whenever the producers of certain crops find their market price declining 'they immediately appeal to the Interstate rnmmprco Pnmniinainn fnr a il-iwimllv oit if t i usually get 11. : Several local growers criticized that editorial?

But how about the railroads? Will they benefit from the reduction, or will they be the goat? Local growers say 1 that the reduction will stimulate shipping and that the rail- l'OaaS Will receive enough additional UUSineSS tO more tnan offset the effects of the lower rates. We hope they are right, for that would do much to improve the economic condition of the entire Northwest. The farmers would have more money tp spend, the railroads would be able to employ more men, the general purchasing power would be increased, and the lagging industries would have an improved market. Are such results possible from such a small cause as a re duction of fourteen cents per hundred pounds on deciduous fruits raised in the Northwest and shipped to the east? Time will tell. GOOD WILL STUDENTS In the award this month of 300 more scholarships and fel lowships' which will enable half that number of American students to study abroad next year and an equal number of foreign students to study in American universities, the Institute of International Education is not concerned only with the education of 300 young men and women. Exchango students, as the recipients of these scholarships and fellowships are called, have a much greater obligation than getting the most out of their education abroad. As they are to become missionaries of good will and a better understanding between nations when they return home they acquaint themselves with currents of thought and sentiment with manners and customs and educational methods in the country of their adopted alma mater. Theirs is a great responsibility. Out of this exchange of students must come a closer under standing in time. Here is a counter movement of good will and mutual understanding which should eventually undo tho harm done by jingoistic journalism, sabcr-rallling slates men and superficial lecturer-travelers. Europe and Asia have long found it worth while to send scholars to the United Stales for Hie assimilation and trans portation homo of American ideas and systems. l!ul the time has arrived when the American university, by reason of its standards, its research facilities and the quality of its teaching staff, can offer the. foreign student educational opportunities obtainable nowhere else. Moreover, it is no longer necessary for the American scholar to complete his education in a European university. a& Other Papers Say: HOW AHOt'T ITIilJC OWNKKMIIir?

Leaves Plank to Delegates As for prohibition, Raskob said he was willing to leave the plank to the decision of the delegates. He has advocated repeal of the eight-1 eenth amendment In favor of state control of liquor. At about the same time Arthur F.

Smith of New York, and William G. McAdoo, of California aro about to converge on the conven tion scene to combat the threat of a new and comjmon foe, Governor Roosevelt of Ncw York. Tho Rooseveltlans are putting ev ery energy Into a last minute drive to nomlante the New York governor on the first ballot. They are counting on 90 of New York's 94 votes and about 20 or 25 from, Illinois to turn tho trick. . Tomorrow comes thc master of tho 1928 campaign, former Governor Smith, and of his strategy even thc confident Roosevelt forces are wary. Late today or early in the morn ing comes Mr. McAdoo whose battle of more than 100 ballots with Smith in 1924 established him, too. as one to be reckoned with In convention con gests. He Is for Speaker Garner, whom he helped to defeat Roosevelt in California. Dubious About Alliance So. Democratic political leaders are rubbing their eyes at this strange alliance of Smith and McAdoo and watching intently for the showdown between these enemies of old and their new rival. That showdown Is expected before the balloting begins but New York's announcement will not necessarily bring It. It Is common gossip In the rapidly filling corridors about convention headquarters at the Congress hotel that the anti-Roosevelt strategy Is to give tho governor his maximum strength on the first ballot. It Is figured that cutting him, down after the first ballot will be destructive. The Roosevelt men have accepted that challenge and James A.

The attitude of thc Roosevelt camp has been that neither Summers nor Jones has been connected with the Roosevelt movement for several months and that any Implications that the governor was aware of their alleged dealings wltti the Ku Klux Klan are too ridiculous to be dignified by a denial. .
