PROSPERITY 15 SEEN
BY NATION'S LEADERS
New Spirit of Co-operation in
Business Predicted.
RAILROAD PLANS ARE TOLD
American Shiprards Declared In Po
sition to Compete With the
ay?cr Sl3nts Overseas.
?T. LOTJIS, April 30. Leaders of in
dustry and finance today heard govern
ment representatives predict a new
dawn of prosperity for the nation's do
mestic and foreign trade in spite of
obstacles that must be overcome by
remedial legislation.
Speaking before the United States
Chamber of Commerce, Secretary Red
field foresaw tne development of a new
spirit of co-operation in business which
will eliminate the abuses of unre
strained competition and close com
bination. He said the old "trust" system had
had its day, that the bitter contests of
over-competition with resultant dan
cers to communities are passing1.
American Yards to Compete,
Edward N. HurJey, chairman of the
United States shipping board, expressed
the conviction that Americ can compete
vth foreign countries in shipbuilding
costa and in operation of the bottoms
aa well. He quoted figures to show
tbat American shipbuilders could now
turn out vessels at figures far under
those' quoted during the war, when the
system of production had not reached
its present stage of efficiency.
He said the shipping board had re
vived the post of "supercargo" in
ships crews, their duties being to ac
complish quick discharge of cargoes,
' thus avoiding port delays and offset
ting higher wages for crews as com
pared with foreign countries.
Contracts for ships are being can
celed and adjusted so that the mer
chant marine will be composed as
largely as possible of fleet ships of
large tonnage, making for economy In
operation, 'ie continued.
Railroad Plans Are Told.
He said that steel plates and shapes
In America today cost about $50 a ton.
$15 lower than in Great Britain. He
added that while the price of materials
is approximately the same, the cost of
labor is higher in America.
Tonight Walker D. Hines. director
general of railroads, outlined the gov
ernment policy of railroad operation.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, tonight
also reviewed at length conditions ob
taining under government, railroad con
trol and urged return of the roads to
their owners. - (
In summing up he said the immediate
remedy for the railroad situation is
adequate revenues on which the rail
road credit may be strengthened and
new capital attracted.
R. F. Loree of New York urged in
vestment of American money in for
eign enterprises.
52500 VOTED TO FESTIVAL
APPROPRIATION IS MADE
CITY COUNCIL.
BY
Greater Sum Refused Because of In
adequate Funds in Municipal
Treasury of Portland.
A city appropriation of $2500 yester
day was made to help defray the ex
penses of the victory Rose Festival in
June. Directors of the Rose Festival
association sought an appropriation of
$5000, but this amount was opposed by
City Commissioners Baxbur and Bige
low on the ground that the city did not
have enough money.
Ira W. Riggs, president of the 1919
festival, told the City Council that fea
tures never before introduced at festi
vals in Fortland or elsewhere will be
staged in Portland in connection with
the rose fete. He explained one of
these features as flood light arrange
ments, which will mean large roses on
long stems erected in the blocks of
the congested district.
Arrangements, he explained, had been
completed for the bringing of a fleet
of airplanes to Portland and a number
of battleships are to be in the harbor
and that, in addition, the directorate of
the association had taken steps to
bring about a wonderful victory cele
' bration in honor of the returning serv
ice men.
City Commissioner- Bigelow stated
that he would like to see the city give
?10,000 to the support of the festival
but that under the present conditions it
is the first duty of the city to handl
its own business and. Judging- from re
ports he had received, it will hardly
have sufficient money to meet demands
which will be made during the remain
der of the year.

suggested, realizing fully that Mr. Ben
son's investment in liberty was already
more than notable.
"I might arrange to get a little
more," mildly responded S. Benson.
Morris Bros. Add SIOO.OOO.
"One hundred thousand dollars!" an
nounced Mr. Etheridge, speaking for
-Morris Bros., of which he is vice-presi-den
t.
Mr. Benson pulled out a check and
duplicated the subscription. With two
$100,000 subscriptions, from Mr. Benson
and Mr. Etheridge, and with other
liberal subscriptions, the Ad club ses
sion brought to the victory loan quota
$211,600.
"Mr. Benson said that he realized the
critical position in which Portland is
placed." said Emery Olmstead, later in
the afternoon, "and added that he had
no wish to see his home city 'fall down'
in the fifth loan.
So thed rive goes forward, with but
three days more of campaigning in
which to raise the deficit. Literally
thousands upon thousands of loyal
Portland liberty lovers must prove their
practical patriotism within the short
space of time left to them. If they do,
Portland is almost assured of being
first among the cities of the Pacific
Coast and Oregon of being third in the
union.
Volunteer Subscriptions Called For.
The call is for volunteer subscrip
tions to cave Portland from defeat. Cit
izens are urged not to wait for solici
tors to call. If they have not subscribed,
or if they Intend to increase their sub
scriptions, they are urged to come at
once to victory hut, or to any of the
banks, and to make their subscriptions
without delay. Too much emphasis can
not be laid on the need for haste. But
three days remain. The fate of Port
land is bound up in them.
The industrial plants are coming in
slowly, but they will not swing the bal
ance to success, according to W. B.
Roberson, who is in charge of that or
ganization. The amount has been care
fully calculated. In its most optimis
tic figure it is only a drop in the quota
bucket- The shipyard workers, reduced
in numbers, and many of them looking
forward to the day when their employ
ment will cease, are naturally not buy
ing bonds as in the previous cam
paigns. The cards are all on the table.
The city committee has made public
each day the full amount of sales. It
has nothing in reserve, save that which
should come speedily from the generous
pocket of an awakened city.
True Patriotism Appears.
Here is the statement of a volunteer
Victory loan worker at victory hut.
presented to A. H. Devers, factotum of
that busy bond center. It means what
it says:
"I have gone the limit In buying Vic
tory bonds, having subscribed over 30
per cent of my gross income for 1918.
I would rather spend every cent I have
than to think America's needs are a
matter of indifference to any person.
If anyone will match me with a $250
bond, I will immediately buy another
of that denomination."
A blind newsboy, who counts his
daily income by the pennies he receives
ror papers, came to victory hut yester
day and bought a $50 victory note. He
paid in casn, and made his mark for
the signature to the application. Being
blind has its handicaps, of a physical
sort but these have not affected his
patriotism.
And here is a little ditty, gleaned
from some anonymous clipping, which
sets forth the duty of all in a way that
the treasury department itself cannot
improve upon-

the front page of publicity with your
typical interview and the punch that it
contained.
"You really can't appreciate (because
you are so used to the plaudits of the

above all, to good old Uncle Sam. whose
