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

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.

, ' Smith to Appear
Two old war lords of the Demo
cratic party, and ancient enemies
Alfred E. 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. Farley,
spokesman here for the governor, said

M. Callahan, member of the Demo
cratic national committee from Wis
consin, has. sent to all delegates to
tho Democratic national convention
copies of letters intended to show
the movement for Franklin D. Roose
velt In the south received aid from
the Ku Klux Klan.
The letters purport to be corres
pondence between Roosevelt, his pre
conventlon campaign manager, James
A. Farley, and organizers of thc
Roosevelt 'southern clubs. Callahan i
obtained the letters from these or-'
ganizers.' P.. B, Summers and C. W.
Jones, of Atlanta, who are now suing
the governor for money they eaid they
expended in his behalf.
Callahan, running unpledged as a
supporter of Alfred E. Smith in the
Wisconsin primaries, was defeated by:
RooaeVelt delegates: ''Iri'an "open let

ble to win1 the election In November
unless another candidate is selected
at the convention in Chicago."
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.
