TJTE MORNING OREGONTAN, FRIDAY, MARCIt 11, 1021 7 HOOVER SAYS WAR BASIS AIDS TRADE Reorganization of Federal Bureaus Needed. NAME WILL' HELP WORK Popular Sentiment 'Will Bo Won Over by ex-Food Administra tor's Bole, Says Sullivan. BT MARK SULLIVAN. (Coprricht by the New York Eveninir Post, inc.. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, V. C.March 11. It is inherent in the personality of Her bert Hoover that there should be much curiosity about what he is go ing: to do with the commerce depart ment. The only public address Mr. Hoover has made since he took over the de partment which contained any hint of what is in his mind occurred in the is to call back the war-time epirit of; 01 service. I H This was a pregnant sentence. What , this would mean would be the plan of voluntary organization and co operation in industry that was carTied out duriiiR the war by the food ad ministration and by the war indus tries board. This plan involved bring ing together in Washington the lead ers of each line of trade and industry and getting them to agree to adopt and accept for themselves Important practices along the lines of economy and co-operation. It was, in effect, an adaptation of the German eastern of cartels. This derman system is now partially in effect, not only in Germany, but in several other countries. In France, for example, all the large users of coal have been brought together by the government and do their buying of coal as a unit. Advantage la Obrlona. The advantage of a common pur chasing agent, acting for an entire country, over individual sellers of coal in other countries is obvious. The only way to meet it is for all the sellers of coal ia the nations that deal with France to unite and act through a common selling agent. The case of France and coal is merely an example, for France, Great Britain. Italy, Germany and several other nations are doing the same thing in other lines of industry.xOb viously, so long as in other nations entire industries act as units, the United States can only meet the sit uation by organizing corresponding industries into smaller units. Mr. Hoover's reference to this situation was only a hint, but it will be logical to expect that the necessities of the I0E30I lomoi 10301 xonoi I0E30I iono D o course of a whimsical and informal I case will recommend some such or- talk at the press club reception to I'reeident Harding. As bearing on the chaotic arrange ment of bureaus, he said humorously that he had discovered that he haa control of all matters pertaining to polar bears, while matters pertaining to grizzly bears must go to the secre tary of agriculture. Concrexa Ilaa Only Power. The reorganization of the govern ment, which is to cure this and soores of more serious incongruities, will not be within the scope of Mr. Hoover's activity. He is but one member of the cabinet, and nut any member of the cabinet, nor all of them, nor the en tire executive branch of the govern ment can of their own power decree the changing of a bureau from one department of the government to an other. This is wholly within the power of congress, and the work will really be done by a committee, of which little has been heard but which just this week began vigorous work. It is a joint committee of congress, headed by Smoot of Utah, on the part of the senate, and Rcavis of Nebraska, on the part of the house. All that any body outside of congress can do is to make recommendation. Hoover Expcted Aid. Undoubtedly Hoover, because of the high quality of his thought, will be much relied on in laying out the new scheme of things. Also, because of his popularity the association of h's name with the recommendations will help to put public pressure behind the changes, a pressure which every body here realizes will be needed to overcome the opposition of the office holders with friends in congress who will resent and resist the individual discomfort involved in the coming dis locations. Much more pregnant as to Hoover's future activities was another hint contained in a few sentences of the speech already mentioned. After pointing out that 3. 000. 000 men are out of work in this country, that the railroads compared to the volume of their equipment are in worse shape now tifcn at any other time in their history, that much of last year's crops were still on the farms and that at the same time mil lions of Europeans were much in need of our products, Mr. Hoover said in a tentative way that possibly the best way to cure our ei-onomlc paralysis ganization of industry to us. and that Mr. Hoover, conceiving of his office as being the guardian and friend of American commerce, will lead it. Past secretaries of commerce have had no such world grasp of industry as Hoover has, and have not come to such close grips with it as Hoover's incisive energy and will. American business men will find in Hoover a man who knows world trade as they can never know it, and as it is known by their experienced and organized competitors in other countries. COLLINS TRIAL BEGINS AITO REALER. IS ACCUSED OF AIDING B.VAK FRAUD. Court Has Difficulty Getting Jury to Try Grants Pass JJau in Jacksonville Case. MEDFORD, Or., March 10. (Spe cial.) Although the case against Benjamin M. Collins. Grants Pass au tomobile dealer, on his indictment in connection with the failure of the Bank of Jacksonville, was called to trial shortly before noon today, ob taining a jury was hard work, and when court adjourned late today sev eral men still were lacking in the jury box. The trial may take up all of tomorrow. Mr. Collins formerly was a well- known resident of Jackson county, having resided for years in Medford. He was cashier two years ago in the Bank of Jacksonville, and was city clerk of Medford. The fact that he is so well known was partially respon sible for delay in getting a complete jury. The indictment against Collins charges the "aiding and abetting of a cashier to defraud a bank." The date of the crime was alleged to be July 24. 1920. Both the prosecution and the de fense were very cautious in selecting jurors.
