voiced by George E. Hall of Portland,
member of the Salem Fruit union, in
response to a recent communication to
tha press from C I. Pick of Mason.
Ehrmin A Co. Mr. Hall discusses the
new organisation and Its purpose as
follows:
"In the columns of your Sunday Issue
f July appears a lengthy article
under the heading "Callfornlans Back
Prune Propaganda." brCL, Dick. In
this article It is evident that Mr. Dick,
and those whom he represents, are per
sonally atronrly opposed to the fruit-
jrrowtr of this state orsranislna the
Ore iron Growers Co-operative associa
tion, now well under way. He states
that In the minds of the people con
nected with the fruit industry of the
northwest that California Interests are
behind this co-opeittlve Idea to secure
control particularly of the prune Indus
try. He further iroes on to state that
tha action of the fruit growers should
be based on facts, not fiction.
Growers Troubles Shews
"As a resident of Oregon for many
years, and interested In a prune orchard
In Marlon county, and a member of the
Salem Fruit union, the writer has had
an opportunity to observe conditions
which the. prune growers, previous to
the organization of various co-opera
tive associations, were compelled to
. submit to. The control of marketing
was never In the bands of th growers.
Speculators, Jobbers and packers, par
ticularly those locally situated, con
trolled the marketing for the reason
that no such thing as fruitgrowers co
operative associations existed. The
growers were at the mercy of these
Jobbers, speculators and packers. The
matter of price was not one upon which
the growers decided. The power was
In the hands of the jobber, speculator
and packer, and Mr. Fruitgrower was
compelled to accept the price dictated.
only through the formation of the
various co-operative associations did
relief come to the fruitgrower. His
years of hard work and long waiting,
his investment, at last began to be re
warded. He began to enjoy a fair
profit. The control of his product and
Its marketing passed Into his hands,
for he was now a member of a co
operative association whose purpose
was to protect, the grower and assure
him of a reasonable return for his prod
uct season in and season out.
Organisation Held alvaflosu
"It has proved a very successful plan,
much to the chagrin of certain jobbers,
speculators and packers. Would It be
possible to base organization of a co
operative association upon any sounder
basis? If so, perhaps Mr. Dick can en
lighten rather than attempt to frighten
the fruitgrowers, who have learned,1
after years of failure and bitter expe
rience, that their very business salva

crossing- th. continent In a crowded
train a train so Inadequately equipped
that it waa necessary to stand In queue

minutes before the dinner hour.
I discovered It still again In buying;
my steamer ticket at a price double the
old rates. But these were minor
troubles compared with the combina
tions Involved In passports and vises.

Passport Oaly Beglaalag.
Let nobody Imagine that the troubles
of a traveler are at an end because he
succeeded in getting a passport
in which the State Department at
nasnington certifies his citizenship.
his character, and the legitimacy of
his errand. Before sailing, say from
New York, ha must go to an American
vise officer at the custom house and
after waiting in queue anywhere from
one hour to ten to get his passport
stamped. He must go to the British
consular office, again wait in queue
for another vise. At the entrance to
the dock he must show his passDort
and once Inside he must stand in queue
Deiore the pursers office and, upon
exhibiting passport and ticket, get an
embarkation card. Then there is still
anotner station where he yields up
to an American officer whatever -old
coin he may have in his pocket, or gold-
oeanng Dills, receiving in return bills
which may not be exchanged for gold.
At the gangplank he makes final ex
hibition of passport and embarkation
card, in the end reaching his cabin In
state of exhaustion.
In other days a dulv . oassDortad
traveler even a traveler Svlthout a
passport might upon arrival at a
British port gather himself together
and walk down a gangplank. But after
our ship was alongside the Cunard doca
t Liverpool it took four hours to work
through the vise office established on
board by which you were given a "yel- ,
low slip" which entitled you to go !
ashore with a warning that within IS
hours you must present yourself at a
police office and register arrival. Ar

ratlr.ee la Required.
If one proposes to move on to the
continent he would better take time
well -by the forelock and stock up with
the moral quality of patience, plus the
physical quality of -endurance. First
he must go to the American consular
office in Bedford square, and usually
after waiting in queue anywhere from
lean vise calling for two visits to the
American consular office, with a two
days' interval between. Next two visits
to the British consular office, with per
haps a single day intervening. And
finally a visit to the French police of
fice on the south side of the Seine.
With a letter which privileged persons
may easily get through ambassadorial
favor it is possible to cut down these
procedures to two days; but-for the
average and unfavored traveler it takes
anywhere from six to eight days to
secure the various official stampings
which permit departure from Paris
and during the greater part of this time
one must stand in draughty corridors
or in steaming crowds waiting his
chance.
Official Nature Blamed.
Why, it may be asked, nearly half a
year after termination of hostilities,
this persistent scrutiny of the move
ments of travelers at such tremendous
cost of time, convenience and money?
Admitting Justification for it In the
period of actual war, why is it con
tinued when there is no war? The an
swer is that official, nature perhaps I
should say human nature in Europe
is precisely the same as in our own
country. All this business of inspec
tion of passports calls for an army of
inspectors, clerks, etc, and each gets'
his little share of the graft. This ex
plains wiry the system goes on and is
likely to go on for an indefinite period.
Probably some years must. elapse be
fore the old and easy conditions of
travel shall return; and they may never
return. Certainly the present annoy
ances will continue so long as official
and political influence shall control.
The irony of the whole business i
that while the system of inspection i

travelers, it places not the least ob
stacle to the spy and the bolshevist
It is the special business of such .to get
past vise officers. It is their business

hindered and practically unannoyed.
have it upon unquestionable testimony
that, despite restrictions and precau
tions. England and France previous to
the armistice, as well as since, have
been as full of spies and propagandists
as America.
In London I found living conditions
not much changed siiice last year and
prior to the armistice. Everywhere the
hotels are crowded. One would imagine
that with the restrictions upon travel
there would be room to spare, but not
so. The reason is that many of the
hotels, large and small, especially in
London, were taken over by the gov
ernment for military and other uses
related to the conduct of the war.
Table charges are necessarily ad
vanced everywhere, even while the va
riety and quality of food served Is ev
erywhere deteriorated. Butter is most
ly a minus quantity, margarine usually
being served as a substitute. Meats
are not what they were. Not anywhere
did I fine the famous roast beef of old
England. "Yob? take what the butch
sends you." I was told by the steward
at Brown s. "and you are bloomln' care-
rul not to kag at what you get." Fish
is abundant and it would be good If the
English cooks knew how to serve it
in a manner excepting in a kind of
watery kite-paste which at first In
stance seems innocuous, then insipid,
and finally disgusting. Sugar may be
had in a very small quantity, but as
with meats it calls for a card of limited
allowance. Bread is not the war bread
of last year, nor yet is it the bread of
other days. Fruits are unavailable ex.
cepting for millionaires; and jam, with
out which no true Englishman makes
shift to begin his day, appears to be
largely compounded of sawdust. On
the whole there is little in the line of
food, excepting as one finds it in pri-

"Of course we can expect the packers

ing step- to stop thera from making In
ordinate profits nut of the fruit we
produce, and it is easy to present flim
sy excuses as to why we should not.
Mr. Pick's article smacks of them.
Every fruitgrower of the state knows
that nearly all of our canned fruit goes
out packed und-r the1 label of Califor
nia concerns. Mr. Faville. in a recent
edition of the Western Farmer, pointed
out that thousands of tons of our fruit
go out in this manner. Only last week
over a thousand tons of cherries have
gone out of a certain county In this
state billed to California concerns to be
packed under their labels.
Oregoa Asaorlatlom Separate.
The new Oregon Growers Co-operative
association has nothing whatever
to do w ith California. Its by-laws ex
pressly provide that no one who Is not
a resident fruitgrower in this state can
be a member or director. The directors
to whom the writer has spoken are In
tending to place Oregon labels on
everything that Is produced and sold
which pannes through the association.
The only thing about the Oregon asso
ciation that Is Xalifornian Is the meth
od of organization which has been so
successful in California, and which has
proved such a boon to the growers of
that state.
"Mr. Dick states there will be an
overproduction of prunes. He evidently
Is not acquainted with conditions.
There will be a five-hundred-million-ponnd
overproduction in four or five
years, and the writer. In common with
many other growers, thinks that a 40-
cent-a-pound retail price for the prunes
which were sold last year for 10 cents
a pound Is a case of profiteering. In
stead of. as Mr. I'ick suggests, placing
the prices as high as possible, which
would mean that we were growing a
luxury, the writer knows that growers
favor making the price as reasonable as
possible, so that a uniform profit could
be secured by them every year, and aeU
all the fruit produced.
Fair Aanaal Profit Wanted.
"The writer looks upon his fruit farm
as sn investment, not something to be
Jockeyed with by speculators. It is his
destre to see a stable market so that he
and all other growers can be assured
of a fair return every yesr, not a lose
two years out of three, and then a big
profit to strike an average and over
come that loss.
"This association Is something which
hsd to come. It Is an amalgamation
of the various co-operative fruit asso
ciations of the state, and Its benefits,
from every angle, are so evident that
it Is useless to attempt to combat or
offer argument against them. It Is
god. sound business, beneficial to the
growers and the fruit Industry of the
state. One has only to consider the
success of California as a frult-produc- j
trig state and what made this wonder-I
ful success possible. It waa the or
ganisation of co-operative associations,
which have brought prosperity and con
tentment to thousands and thousands
of growers in that state. .

Then If he wishes to go by the conveni
ent Folkestone route the only one that
will land him at Paris In a day trip
he must go to the military authorities,
sign away any claim for damage or
loss on the Journey, and get a permit.
Then he must go to Tottenham Court
road for authorization from the police
to move on. At Victoria station,
whence he departs for Paris, he must
exhibit his passport duly vised with his
permit to go by that route, and get an
"embarkation card." which entitles him
to pass the gate to the train. Arrived
at Folkestone, he must exchange his
embarkation card for a "yellow slip."

Paris Prices High.
I think It due to give some brief sug
gestion of what It means to get out of
Paris these days. There is. of -course,
the usual registration with the police
upon arrival that is easily done at a
local station around the corner most
anywhere. But getting away is another
matter. One must first have an Amer-
oia generous sense wholesome. I saw
in London no evidences outside the
slums of malnutrition, though I was

In Paris food was abundant and ex

or the Cafe de Paris, and a dozen other
famous places, the charges are appal

above those of the .best hotels in New

In the little Paris restaurants, where
In other days a filling and satisfactory
luncheon might be had for two and a
half francs, the charge is now three
times that sum; and Instead of a few
centimes for the waiter, present form
calls for a franc. The prices of hotel
accommodation are in proportion to
table charges. At a very good hotel

Prlcea of Clothes Soar.
In the good old days one could get
an excellent suit of "mufti" even in
St. James street or in Saville Row for
a modest "seven pun." In October of
last year the price had advanced to ten
pounds but now you must pay eleven
guineas; and nine chances to one you
get at the advanced price both deteri
orated material and inferior workman
ship. With a fine consistency the up
ward movement has possessed the
whole line of men's merchandise. But
it is in Paris and in respect of woman's
wear that price aviation has achieved
its supreme record. Everything from
pearls to stockings not to mention
headgear has about doubled in price.
Inferior imitations may be had in side
streets at prices which look small to
Americans, but really worth-while mer
chandise is not cheap and on the whole
not so good as similar goods of Amer
ican production.
Documents Captured by French
Show Situation Grows Worse as
Allied Pressure Increases.
In the last issue of the United States
Air Service, tne official publication of
the army and navy air service, appears
an article written by Captain Rascoe
Fawcett. formerly sporting editor oi
The Oregonian, who has returned to
Portland from France. He has been in
this city on sick leave awaiting re
covery from Injuries received over
seas, before being discharged from the
army.
The article he has written sets forth
the varying conditions of air supremacy
based on official documents and
charts and states that it is definitely
known that Germany "figuratively and
officially" gave up the aerial ghost Au
gust 17, 1918, for the Hun swan song
appeared in several official reports
captured or discovered about armistice
time. The Germans concentrated their
efforts on the -big offensive that com
menced in March, 1918, and their flying
strength reached its peak at about that
time.
From the article it appears that "aa
tivity curves" were maintained by the
British throughout the war showing the
comparative strength and activity of
friendly and enemy planes. The Ger
man curves displayed symptoms of
decided downhill tendency in April,
1918, and by the following month these
curves began to take on the appearance
of a succession of saw-edges each sue
cessive tooth representing a spell of
good or bad weather.
German. See Cri.1. Approaching.
The article follows in part:
"Apparently the Germans found them
selves unable to make good during ac
tive conditions, the replacement of per
sonnel and machines destroyed, and bad
weather periods came as much wel
comed respites and were utilized to
bring the air units back to fighting
trim. Thus each tooth on the curve
charts had a peak of its own, rep
resenting the tail-end of a replacement
period.
Documents captured by tne 'rencn
in July and August. 1918, gave first evi
dence of the approaching crisis in Ger
man aviation affairs. The Huns attrib
uted this crisis to the heavy losses of
the big offensive and also to the un
satisfactory performances of the Pfalz
D-I1I machines and the Fokker tri-
planes and one or two other types that
were aging, such as the Albatross
D-1II and the D-B, which necessitated
the development of newer types.
The situation rapidly grew worse as
the allied pressure increased and, de
spite the frenzied announcements of the
German air officials that the Fried
richsafen and other factories were to
be enlarged immediately and that new
materials were to be acquired from
Russia and Rumania, late in August,
1918, the German command apparently

Belgium.
Oar Air Service Just Starting.
When the war ended, France had
something like 102 or 103 squadrons
in the zone of operations; England, be-
ween 70 and SO, including 4 on the
Italian front; Belgium 5, one of which
was a crack squadron; and the United
States, 40 or thereabout, with the pros
pects for an effective aerial force of
four times that number of units in op
eration early in 1919. The armistice
caught the American air service just
at a moment when two years of uphill
struggling against dificulties gave
promise of a most gratifying realiza
tion. One point will suffice to lllus
trate:
"During the four months immediately
preceding the armistice no fewer than
71 American service squadrons were
dispatched across the English channel
to France, augmenting the Canadian
trained air squadrons already on the
ground. Further, on November 11 an
additional 70 squadrons of enlisted me
chanlcs were ready in the British isles
for immediate duty on the American
front.
"A summarization of the effective al
lied strength in the air on November
11 probably would have shown a grand
total of anoroximatelv 215 or 220 serv
Ice squadrons. As again ft this the Ger
mans were credited with 319 identified
units, distributed on the various fronts.
A great many of these 319 German
units, of course, were flights operating
as separate units not squadrons.
Probably the grand total of Hun ma
chines in operation at the front did not
exceed 3500.
French Pilots Wonderful.
"The French had some wonderful In
dividual pilots, and the higher-ups
played to such men as Guynemer and
Fonck. When these officer stars de
sired to go to Paris they simply waved
good-bye. There was not the discipline
that existed in the British air force.
The best French pursuit machines were
the Spad and the Nieuport; the most
effective bomber the two-seated Bre
quet and the best corps machine the
Salmson two-seated.
"Undoubtedly the British could have
placed as many squadrons at the front
as the French; but the British early
in the war decided it would be impos
sible to maintain more than 70 or 80
squadrons at top efficiency and tfeus
the concentration of the fewer number.
This policy was much simpler for the
British than it would have been for the
French, because of the difference in the
front line mileage held by the two arm
ies. Once a British squadron flew
across the channel to an already pre
pared airdrome it was ready for rough
and tumble tactics and usually was
kept ready.
"Considering the .condition of tha
British air service in 1914, the develop
ment of the third arm constituted one
of the outstanding feats of the war.
"France entered the war with be
tween 500 and 600 fairly serviceable
machines, the chief defect in the French
corps being the diversity of types. She
had a well trained and numerous per
sonnel, however, and good motors. Be
tween 1909 and 1912 there were more
builders of successful airplane engines
in France than in any other country.
Germany Not Idle
"By no means had the Germans been
idle. The late kaiser's aerial armament.
both in numbers and equipment, ex
ceeded the combined forces of England
and France. Most of her 600 or 700 air
planes were standardized throughout,
each machine equipped with bomb
dropping devices, speed and altitude
recorders and cameras. The equipment
superior, it is said, to some of the allies'
fields two years later.
'Engine factories, such as the Mer
cedes. Benz and Maybach, were stand
ardizing their products while the Brit-,
ish and French were experimenting.
It is a fact that the entire output of the
Benz factory was commandeered for
war airplanes one year before the dec
laration of war. As a subtle indication
of the late kaiser having forced the
war, it is pointed out that, after having
held out of the world's famous auto
mobile races for years, German man
ufacturers again took the road just be
fore the start of hostilities.
Little Choice in Seaplane.
"In the matter of seaplanes there was
not much to choose between the rival
powers, as very littel progress had
been made in the development of this
craft prior to the war. England and
France had a few seaplanes, and Ger
many had bought the Sopwith seaplane
and also was developing the Wright
seaplane. The French and British sea
planes did good work from the start,
levying a heavy toll on Zeppelins and
doing good "spotting" for the battle
ship guns. It was a seaplane that gave
Admiral Beatty of Jutland battle fame
the first news that the German grand
fleet was out.
"With all its fickleness and IntangI- j
bility, aerial supremacy undoubtedly
lay with the Germans during the early
stages of the war. During the first two
years, up to the first battle of the
S online in 1916, the Germans harassed
the sorely-tried allifcs in the air. For
tunately for the British and the world
at large, the -Hun had the Kussian
front to protect, and many of Ger
many's finest Albatross and Rumpler
biplanes were sent there, while Taube
type monoplanes were concentrated on
the western front in an attempt to
overwhelm the French.
"With the debut of the combat patrol
in 1917 and the appearance of new type
English planes, the allies began to
make progress. But the Huns countered
late in 1917 with the D-VII Albatross
and a new Rumpler and at no time
were in total eclipse until past mid
summer of 1918, when every resource
had been staked on the great German
attempt to. break through the British
lines to the channel ports.
The article states that the allies did
ore flying late in the war, and un
doubtedly had the best pilots. Much
