The tlnited .States has thought out and -'adopted a very clear-cut and .far-reaching domestic program! It intends to raise prices, control production, boost' wages 4"d. : decrease unemployment, and it propos.es to do these ' .things by means of certain concrete actions.' ' The other nations' at the conference with the exception j of Russia, which is' in' a class' by" itself -Have no such' pro gram. They seem to be committed to a policy of watchful ..' Wiiitihjf.'iind.at times they, have a striking resemtiliirice"' to '.Mr. Micawber, .being hopeful that something will turn up. ; That bei'no; the case, how can' we logically , expect that this ; nation can easily find a common program of concerted action ., wjth .the others? Furthermore, for what reason does the chief responsibility for finding such a program rest upon the rulers of this nation? ' ' The United States1 has at! least made a' determined arid Jieroic effort' to jiut; i'ts,owri house in order! It has embarked ixn a trejiindous experiment, and while .we have no guarantee ToSay that the experiment will riot .fail, at least the country I has had the courage, and the vitality to make ft. ftfe'ht. or .Wong, win or lose, the nation has got away from the policy : of drift. There is no reason on earth lie le risk of ruining that experiment .before it gets well under - way, simply in order to arrive at currency stabilization agree ' mentis with nation's which have yet to enunciate a clear pol " icy of their own. Correspondents at London are reporting that the Euro pean qtatesrrien are saying many harsh things about us these days because we have "wrecked" the conference. That, of course, is too bad.. But considering the fact that that has been one of the chief diversions of European statesmen ever te'ihqe the war, Americans probably will be able to bear up tinder it. And it is a trifle difficult to see why the ultimate J; responsibility for lack of accomplishment at . London rests .with us. THE SMITH-ROOSEVELT SPLIT Developtnerits following logically from the administration's recovery program are providing aii interesting sidelight on' one of the'hiost perplexing features of the 1932 presidential ciiiiipaigri. '... One of the high spots of that 'campaign was the apparent' coolness between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith. ! The wo had boon comrades in arms for years; further-, ;. P.1010, they had evidently been fairly close friends, as well. ' Roosevelt had twice put Smith in nomination for the presi dency. Smith had turned over hds job at Albany to Roose ! velt. But 1932 brought a break. Roosevelt spoke of the for ; gotten mnn and Smith promised to take off his coat and fight all 'demagogues. .The Chicago convention left a scar that refused to heal. Not until late in the campaign was there a reconciliation, singed amid the floodlights; and even then hints of soreness persisted. Gossip had it that the rift was personal. Roosevelt was accused of having gone high hat; Smith, of nursing Wounded : vanity. Now, however, the basic difficulty becomes fairly clear. Smith's recent editorial in The Outlook reveals that the gulf between himself and the president is almost as wide, ; fundamentally, as that between the president arid ex-Presi-j dent lloover. ! ' T,le recovery act, says Smith, "will cripple initiative, lo ! galize monopoly, raise prices ami require higher tariffs." It ; "goes beyond anything my imagination can 'follow."

SUBMIT THi:lU NAMES TO THE IiDITOH IF THIOV DE SIRE LETTERS PRINTED. July 28, 1938. To the Editor: There have been articles put In the paper about big fish filing the lit tle fish, or words to -that effect. We'll say that applies to some' In La Oronde. especially to railroad men, of. course there are some exceptions, but the big hog that ehed the 'tear didn't do It fori the little fellow that was crowded away from the trough. ' Mr. 8. T. Ruby states that he Is pleased that mileage on railroad has been cut down to 3900 miles or 39 days per month. It has been cut to that basis by the Firemen and Train men but how about the ones making from. 388 to 4000 miles per month, Dpea the pig shed a tear there? as Mr. Nbrby says. , During the real slock times those that are now working were making as much as now. Everything was In reach at a low cost. What they lost In salary was made up -by the lower cost of living. . As Mr. Bull states, that the. big mileage Is a. force of habit. That Is one habit that has made it very tough on those of us that have been cut off the board for the pa3t year or two in. order that the addicts to that "habit" might make their big mileage. . If our president, wlio is doing his utmost to relieve the unemployment situation, knew that some were mak ing 8 &nd 10 days overtime in a tnonth and his fellow man cut off the board and wondering where his next dollar Is coming from. I am sure he would turn Ills guns on certain labor organizations as well as the em ployers in trying to bring about equal distribution of work. A year or so ago the strectcar'men In Portland accepted , 0 hour day with 0 hour pay to keep 350 of .their follow workers from being thrown out of employment, Mr. Bull states that he is suro that the majority of member's of the Rail road Brotherhoods would further re duce the days and miles If In their powor to do so; My understanding Is, seniority rules and members regu lato the, number' of miles' or days' to .bo worked. Now If my conception is correct," Just . What' Is preventing fcthe, Bro'thorhoods from reducing the imuongc?. . , , I know of no other labor organlza-' 'nwrMmit tu mntU.li. Thlfi dors not ! Include all railroad orders. With 20 days a month the buying powor would bo once again what It now is. .Not only, would the railroad men benefit by this but the gencnai' publlo as well. 6. h. aniPFiN. u. s. w. y. win Hold Picnic At Emigrant Springs Spanish war veterans of Eastern Oregon and Washington and their families will hold a picnic at Emi grant Springs, between La Grande and Pendleton, Aug. 0.

The association of stock exchange firms through Its counsel, brokers were informed, has been , In touch with the recovery administration authorities. The matter of receiving maximum hours-for clerical workers has re ceived particular attention,1 it was said, in view of the long hours which most stock exchange firms found it necessary to use employes because of the huge volume of business dur ing the past few months. The' spe cial Saturday holidays and the short ened trading period of the past week were decreed by thtf exchange to ease this burden. ' General opinion among stock brrik ers Is that steps will be taken soon to establish minimum salaries and a maximum work- week for air street employes. FINDS EVIDENCE BENEATH SEA OF GONDWANALAND: y i. n. coiton (Associated Press Science Writer) WASHINGTON m New ovltterice of existence of "Gondwanaland,1' mighty lost continent that flourished until 150 million years ago but now Is nearly all beneath the South aeas. has been put before the international geological congress. Gondwanaland was as huge ?s all Europe and Asia, said Dr. Alexander L. Du Tolt, of Johannesburg, South Africa. It existed for 400 million, years from the time life got Its start on earth until the mesoeolc era, when reptiles ruled the world. Much of Gondwanaland Is now be lieved to be sunk beneath tne In dian ocean, but it also Included most of South America, Africa and Austra lia. Madagascar, the peninsular part of India, Tasmania and the ehstern part of tho antarctic continent. More Kvideiiee . Latest o.dence of Irs existence ccmes from ntw study of rocks found in Argentina, Bra7!l, South 'Africa. In dia and Australia. That shows the rocks so slmiliir it is believed certain all theso points muKt n.-.j have been part of a giant continent Those rock? ah.o contain fossil remains of animals idirh alii:e. Though Gondwanaland carried no great civilization to its doom when it disappeared beneath the waves, as legend says was the case with mythi cal Atlantis, It did carry much valu able information about the earth's post history. Now geologists, are trj; lng to piece this togethsr from rem nantfl of the edges of the lost con tinent. Balancing Gondwanaland in the northern hemisphere was another great land mass, "Laurasia," said Dr. Du Tolt. It was at first connected with the southern continent but later separated by an east-west ocean. Some scientists believe Gondwana land did not sink beneath the sea but that both it and Laurnsla, split up into the various continents of to day which drifted apart Into the po sitions they now occupy. Gov. James Rolph Jr., has approved bill granting San Francisco 720 acres of tidelnads. for an alrpjit. Do You Know Just Where You Stand?
