business to normal.
"Investigations made by the Indus
trial council show that the shelf stock
of merchants In the United States 1
to per cent short of normal, and that
the pre-war normal business within the
United States was Jio. 000. 000, 000. This
means that the year haa begun with

additional S50.09Q.000.000 worth of poods
Is needed, making the total 175.000,-

duty of all manufacturers to foster
and encourage such expansion of ex

healthfully developed.
't. we believe it Is no time to be

on the contrary a time for watchful,
sober consideration of developments as
they arise, to the end that readjust

all manufacturers against hasty action

The letter sent out by the Industrial
Association of Oregon to employers in
this state follows:
"The ending; of the war will bring
shsrply to manufacturers the responsi
bilities aa well as the opportunities of
peace. To the Industrial plants of Amer
ica will presently be returned the great
bulk of overseas men who have con
tributed to the victory of civilisation
over degeneracy.
'The one outstanding obligation of
every American manufacturer now Is
to take back Into his plant the men
who ceased their work to place their
lives at the disposal of the Nation. It
Is your plain duty to have an 'open
door of opportunity and prosperity
for every American soldier and sailor
who seeks to return to his former em
ployment and occupation regardless of
how the position may bava been filled
during bis absence In the service of
our country.
"Members of the Industrial Associa
tion of Oregon are urged to recognize
not only the patriotic duty and priv
ilege, but practical necessity and wis
dom Involved In giving absolute em
ployment preference to our returning
soldiers and sailors In the process of
Industrial readjustment. We believe
that the complete reabsorptlon of our
trained men will greatly strengthen
the bulwarks of Industrial freedom as
well aa enable our Industries to regain
their proper efficiency.

"Tour former employes have demon
strated their unselfish loyalty to
American principles, and when prop
erly restored to their places In the eco

will undoubtedly enhance the value of
plant organization by demonstrating
their well-learned appreciation of co
operation, and their new sense of re
sponsibility in carrying out of plans
and orders, for the good of the com
munity as well aa the Individual.
Approximately 1. 000.000 fighting
men will be returned to employment.

"Similar letters, including COO In

31 states represented at the New Tork
meeting. Oregon employers realize
that It Is their duty to take soldiers

"I talked to an asbestos manufac

Frontier Designated in Treaty Not
Considered as Expressing Posi
tion of United States.
PARIS, Jan. 6. The attitude of the
United States toward the treaty be
tween Italy and France, Great Britain
and Russia relative ' to . the Eastern
Coast of the Adriatic, has not been
clearly defined as far as known.
In stating the line to which the
Austrian troops must retire, the armis
tlce outlined the frontier as it is de
fined in the treaty. This was accepted
by the inter-allied conference, but it is
understood that colonel t;. ju. riouse,
American representative, stated that
the designation of the frontier as it
stood in the treaty between the four
nations, was not to be taken as ex
pressing any position by the United
States on that treaty.
The same situation was again pre
sented when American warships partis
cipatedein carrying out of the naval
clauses of the armistice with Austria.
Along the Eastern Coast of the Adri
atic, the Jugo-Slav element manifested
some opposition, but owing to the deli
cacy of the issues involved the ques
tion of America's attitude, one way or
the other, was deferred.
