THE 3IORXTSG OKEGONIAX. WEDXESDAT, 3IAT 29, 191S. 13 FLOUR SALES ARE BANNED FOR MONTH Four Hundred Retail Dealers Adopt Resolution Pledg ' ing Aid to Nation. STOCKS TO BE GIVEN UP Spontaneous Cheering "Greets Pass ' age of Motion, and All Dealers Present Sign Copies of Resolution. J"out hundred retail flour dealers of Portland assembled at Lincoln High School auditorium last'nlght at the call of Arthur M. Churchill, state conser vation chairman, unanimously adopted a resolution to abolish all sales of wheat flour for a period of one month, or until July 1." Further, the resolution calls upon all retailers of Multnomah County who have stores of wheat flour in their warehouses to turn the same over to the Federal Food Administration for Immediate shipment to our allies over seas. - Spontaneous cheering - erected the passage of the motion, and all dealers present signed copies of the resolution. By special committee the proposal will be placed before the remaining dealers of the city for individual action. Last night's conference represented about one-half of the retail flour trade of Multnomah County. Dr. E. J. Eabbe Speaks. .. Several grocers charged that many well-to-do citizens of Portland are hoarding white flour, and called for action to bring about its return. It was announced by Mr. Churchill that citizens will be requested, by patriotia appeal, to turn In their present sup plies of wheat flour, receiving payment therefor, that the available supply for shipment to France may 'be strength ened. Demand was also made by the dealers that relief be given from the high price of substitutes, and assurance was given by Mr. Churchill that lower prices are In sight. Among the speakers were Dr. E. J. Labbe. recently returned from the war zone, who urged action because of food conditions in France, and H. H. Haynes, representative of local bakers, who has been in conference at .Washington and who pledged the baking trade to aid in every way possible. Wheat Needed for Allies. The need for victory bread .for the luncheons of workmen in the ship building industry and other industrial enterprises was stressed, and grocers were advised to favor this class of trade In the apportionment of the lim ited supply of such bread. They were further requested not to increase their sales of bakers' bread, during the period agreed upon,, except In substitute breads. In reply to the rumor that there Is no need to conserve wheat Mr. Churchill read a telegram from Herbert Hoover, Federal Food Administrator, vigor ously denying the statement. The mes sage is as follows: "No statement of the character has ever been Issued. The actual position Is that our supplies, until harvest, al Jow home consumption of approximate ly one-third normal, if we are to main tain allied supplies. The actual situ ation is that. In farmers' hands and in storage, we had, at the beginning of May, 75,000,000 bushels of wheat to carry us for approximately three months, or, with an early harvest, per haps two weeks shorter. "Our normal consumption for three months should be 120,000,000 bushels, not allowing the allies anything." , VESSEL BEING BUSHED VESSEL SOW BUILDING SAID TO BE FOB AFRICAN TRADE. nans Considered by Columbia En gineering; Works for Starling; Two Ships for JVorwealan.

WOODEN VESSELS PRODUCT International Yards Slay Bid on SO Seagoing Barges for Govern ment Order i"lve Ways to Be Provided. Completion of the wooden shipbuild ing plant of the International Ship building Company, at Columbia City, has been ordered by George McBride. president of the corporation, and his associates. One set of ways was com pleted when the yard was established several months ago, and now grading and pile driving has been provided to complete four additional wavs. Mr, McBride says contracts have not rKIJNDJLY GREETINGS YESTERDAY. been closed with the Emergency Fleet Corporation for vessels. At the same time it ia known that consideration has been given the International plant and that an effort has been made to interest the management in bidding for some of a fleet of 50 sea-going bargei the Government wishes turned out. While all yards not engaged In build ing steamers for the Government have been advised of the prospective barge contracts and asked to consider them. It is said plans and. specifications have not yet reached here. Little "work would be required to place the International in readiness for Immediate operation, as the power plant Is installed and gear is on the ground, one of the saws having been In sue for some time in getting out ma terial tor buildings. The only part of the yard system not actually In place is the air line for power tools, but material for that is under order to be delivered as soon as contracts are signed. Columbia City has one full-fledged shipyard, that of the Sommarstrom Shipbuilding Company, where Hough ships are under way for the Emer gency Fleet Corporation, and ' where toe hull of the Musketo was floated May 14. Four ways are in use at that plant, and, with five the International will have available, the output of Co lumbia City will be considerable, once thw Government places contracts to the full capacity. It is not improbable that the newly adopted Ballin type of steel topside or composite vessel will e built by the International's force.- though pressure is being brought to bear on the com pany to accept private contracts for smaller vessels than the Emergency Feet Corporation desires, and arrange ments nay be made to accept such orders. THREE VESSELS FOR ROUTE Xo New Information as to Use of Alliance, Stetson and Nehalem. Portland steamship men say they have not been advised officially of the purpose of the Government in placing the stemers Alliance. J. B. Stetson and Nehalem on the Portland-San Francisco ro -te, as announced yesterday from San Francisco. It was assumed that the tonnage was assigned' to make up for the liner Beaver being comman deered, but, if such is the aim, the in formation has not been Imparted to O. F. Green, general agent for the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Com pany here. The Alliance ran out of Portland for years. First she was started in the Alaskan service, then on the Portland Coos Bay-Eureka route, making San Francisco at times, and before being purchased and taken south about three years ago. had been laid up for more than a year. The B. Stetson is one of the steam schooner f lc :t and was in the Portland-Alaskan service for the Portland Steamship Company. Both carry passengers, but the Nehalem la not so equipped. The Shipping Board has taken ov r the trio after long de tention at San Francisco on suspicion of having traded with enemy firms. WESTERN CITY SIGNING' CREW Master and Chief Engineer Named for New Freighter. Captain . C. Bown .has been op. pointed master and Martin Cummings, chief engineer, of the S800-ton steamer Western City, which the Colum bia River Shipbuilding Corporation launched April 30. The craft is now being finished preparatory to dellv. ery to the Pacific Steamship Company. The first inspection of the steamer Western Wave, the hull of which was constructed by the Northwest Steel Company and the fitting out of the vessel by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works, were completed yesterday. United States Steam Vessel Inspectors Edwards and Wynn personally went Into the details aboard and officially passed her. The vessel is to fly the flag of the Luckenbach Steamship Company. NEW CONTRACTS CONFIRMED Columbia River Plant Begins Con struction, of Two Ways. Confirmation reached the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation from Washington yesterday of contracts closed for It steel steamers, each of 800 tons deadweight, though it was assured previously that the negotia tions were - successful. Alf Smith, president of the corporation, is ex pected to leave Washington by Friday. Work has been started on two addi tional ways at the plant, they being located, at the, foot of .Woods street. so the company will have five build ing bertha. James McKInley. manager of the corporation, expects that ships will be wey along on the new ways by the end of the year. The expansion programme ' will necessitate the con struction of more machine shop capaci ty, and that Is to . be undertaken at once. When the new ways are ready the Columbia River plant will have the same capacity as the Skinner ec Eddy yard at Seattle, which has the record now for fast work In turning out a hull in 65 days, though the time was made after the Columbia River plant floated a hull In t- days. - DRYsOCK LEAVES HEBE TODAY ITeff ernan Plant? to Be HelcU at As toria Before Coming North. Towed bjr the steamers Gamecock and F. B. Jones, of the' Willamette A Columbia River Towing Company, the Heffernan drydock. known up to this time as the Oregon drydock. is due to leave the harbor at noon today, bound for Seattle. The first leg of the jour ney will be to Astoria, where the dry dock is to be placed in the slip at the Municipal dock, probably being used to lift a vessel or two before proceeding to Puget Sound. The Oregon Drydock Company sold the plant to the Heffernan .Drydock j company itL mon-.il. ana an eiiori was made then to have the transaction changed so that the Port of Portland Commission could purchase the dock and operate it the same as the St. AFTER THEY HAD EXCHANGED Mathew slmpsoa Hughes, aad Rev. K. , Johns plant- But it was found the port had no authority at present to under take the responsibility, neither did it have the necessary funds.

HIGH WATER DANGER OVER Vancouver Steamboat man Predicts No Further Difficulty. VANCOUVER, Wash.. May 28. (Sne claL) That the danger of high water has passed for this season Is the opin ion of Oscar Johnson, steamboat aaent in this city for the past quarter of a century. Mr. Johnson has kept ac curate records of the snowfall and the stages of the river, and is usually right in his predictions. The Columbia River has been higher this year than it is now when the warm weather Is beginning, and now the river is falling. It stood at barely above 12 feet today. It has not In terfered with the construction of the ships In the G. M. Standifer Construc tion Company's wooden yard, though the lower ends of the ways are under water. River's Fall Continues. Further decline in the Willamette River at Portland is forecast by the weather Bureau, the graaual fall ex perienced of late being expected to con tlnue for two or three days. For 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning the stream receded two-tenths ot a toot and between 8 o'clock yester day and 6 o'clock last night a drop of one-tenth of a foot was shown.

AMERICA MUCH ESTEEMED All Talk of Hostility on the Part of Japanese Toward This Conn try Declared to Be Ger - man Propaganda. Bishop Yeshlyasu Rlralwa. of the Japan. Methodist Church, recognised as one of the few great Christian leaders of Japan and the Far Hast, ar rived in Portland yesterday on his way to attend the Methodist seminary con vention at Columbus. O.. next month. He is sent by the Methodist churches of Japan and will also attend confer ences of the Canada Methodist Church; the M. E. Church South and the M. E. Church of the United States. He is the first Japanese bishop to officially represent his church abroad, though this is his fourth visit to the United States. His trip will take alx months. Maay Chriatiaaa lis Japan. Bishop Hlralwa became a Christian about 60 years ago ia his native land under the guidance and instruction of Kev. George Cochran, who was at that time aunerintendent of the Canada Methodist Church. There are 2S Chris- j tian denominations in Japan, the most numerous being Presbyterian; second. Congregational; third. Methodist, and fourth. Episcopal. Under the leadership of Bishop Hlralwa, according to a high Japanese official, the Methodist denom ination has attained the large follow ing and high standing . which it now enjoys. Approximately 60,000,000 people are In Japan proper, says the bishop, and 21,000 of that number are Methodists. The great majority of the Japanese people still cling' to the religions of their forefathers and to nuaanism. At the present time, he says, the Jap anese are very much awakened to church work and all forms of the old religions are losing their influence. They are very susceptible to Chris tianity, he says. Japanese Love America. A National' evangelical campaign lasting three years was recently con ducted by the combined Christian de nominations in the Mikado land with very gratifying results. Any rumor hinting at hostility on the part of the Japanese toward Amer ica or an American is merely German propaganda, says Bishop Hlralwa. The Japanese have never had even the slightest anti-American feeling, be de clared. Bishop Hlralwa entertained on a number of occasions uapiain w. Hardy, of Portland, while he was in Japan, and says it was his privilege to escort the sole survivor of the Perry expedition, the famous voyage which opened Japan to the world, back to America. The great love of the Japan ese people for America, be says, was shown in the great honors paid the old sailor during his visit. Hardy Highly Esteemed. He tells of how the Japanese Em peror, a few days after Captain Hardy's arrival, broke all preceaent wnen, n a garden party on the grounds of the imperial palace, he purposely ap proached the Captain and shook hands with him. This, says the bishop, had never before in the history of the Japanese nation been done by a ruler at a garden party. The Japanese highly esteem their elders, he said, and for that reason called the Captain "Hardy-Oh," which In English mentis "Grandpa Hardy." He recalled one instance where Cap tain Hardy addressed a gathering of 7000 people, most of whom could not understand what he was talking about, but had assembled merely to see the American who helped bring Japan from her status as a hermit nation, so widely is that historical expedition known to the Japanese people and eo great is their love for the Americans. .
