JAPANESE BIRTHS RAPID AliAItMIVG RATE IX DfPER I AX VALLEY XOTED BY SPEAKER trate in close communities. They J have wonderful business co-operation i and they control the produce trade in many sections. Because of these fac tors they gradually drive Americans out of every business they enter." Mr. McClatchey said the Japanese practically control the Imperial val ley, in southern California; have 85 per- cent of the Rocky 'Ford melon business of Colorado, hold half of the Hood River apple district, and control the southern California fish eries. The speaker recited a number of figures from the California bureau of vital statistics tending to show that the Japanese increase about four times as rapidly as Americans In Cal ifornia, and that while the .American birth rate there is decreasing the Japanese birth rate is rising. Plans to admit Japanese by ratios or pro portions based on numbers now here or now citisens, such as the Gullck plan and the Dillingham bill, Mr. Mc Clatchey characterized as traps which would result finally in the breeding of enough Japanese in this country to control It. Under the Gulick plan, in 140 years 100,000,000 Japanese would be living- in America, he said. FISHING RETARDED . BY RISE PRICES Less Gear Likely in Water Than Last Year. EXPORT HAS FALLEN OFF CREDIT CONTROL POSSIBLE GOVERNMENT BILL IS AIMED AT SPECULATORS. Federal Reserve Banks Likely to B Empowered to Graduate Interest Rates at Source. WASHINGTON, April 3. The ad ministration measure, under which the federal reserve board hopes ef fectually to check speculation was passed today by the senate and now goes to the president. Under the bill discount rates at each of the 12 reserve banks, with the "approval, review and determina tion of the federal reserve board, may be graduated or progressed on the basis of amount of advances ad dis count accommodations extended by the federal reserve bank to the bor rowing bank." Enactment of this measure as an amendment to the federal reserve law was recommended by Governor Hard ing of the federal reserve board in his annual report. Governor Harding, in his annual re port, said that "in this way It would be possible to reduce excessive bor rowings of member banks and induce them to hold their own large bor rowers in check without raising the basic rate. The federal reserve banks would thus be provided with an ef fective method of dealing with credit expansion more nearly at the source than Is now practicable and without unnecessary hardship to banks and borrowers who are conducting their affairs within the bounds of mode ration. "The extension of credit, set in mo tion by the war, must be checked, he said. "Credit must be brought under effective control, and its flow be once more regulated and governed with careful regard to the economic welfare of the country and the needs of Its producing industries." TWO STILLS ARE SEIZED Man Under Arrest Admits Making and Selling Whisky. MARSHFIELD, Or., April 3. (Spe cial.) Revenue officers who have been making raids in this country, to gether with Constable Goodman, ar rested Nick Webber at Delmar, a set tiement near the Smith mine, and lzed' two stills and a large quantity of home-made whisky. It is believed that more moonshine is concealed about the place and a search is go ing on. The stills were made of copper and each would hold ten gallons. Webber, after being arrested, confessed that he had been making whisky and sell ing it. He was bound over to await action by the federal grand jury and was confined in the county jail in default of $600 bail. ' S. BECK TO BE HONORED Building Owners and Managers to Give Luncheon Tuesday.

Beck, president of the Beck In vestment company and manager of the Beck building- since its opening. will be honored at a complimentary luncheon next Tuesday at the Benson hotel by the members of the Portland Association of Building Owners and Managers.

The occasion will mark the retire ent of Mr. Beckfrom the active management of the building on April 1. Packers Say Sale of Lower Grades Will Be Unprofitable Unless Market Situation Changes. ASTORIA. April 3. (Special.) The spring fishing Bea'son on the Columbia river will open at noon May 1 and while extensive preparations are being made for it by both fishermen and packers, the indications are that there will be less new gear in the water than for many years. The reason for this Is the prevail ing high prices of materials. For in stance, linen twine is now $4.05 a pound on new orders, although some of the packers who had placed their orders before the recent rise In price are selling it to their fishermen at $3. 4a a pound. Even at the latter figure a new gillnet 850 fathoms in length will cost close to $1000, a price that is almost prohibitive, especial ly as a successful fisherman I must have two nets, one of small and the other of large mesh. Old eta Bring- Patched J. As a result, practically no new nets have been knit this winter and spring, the fishermen preparing their gear for service by merely adding a few papers of new twine to their old web. Engines and boat material have also been boosted in price, until a power boat which could have been built and 'equipped a few years ago for from $600 to $700, now costs from $1300 to $1600. This has greatly ham pered the construction of new fish ins: boats and probably not over 50 are being built on the lower river, al though scores of old ones are under going repairs. What the coming season will bring forth is a mystery, but the indications are there will be a. good run of Chi nooks during the openings days and they will command a high price. Large numbers of Chinooks have come in during the closed season and reports say that more fish have gone to the natural spawning grounds in the upper river this spring than during the corresponding period in many years. Kicbance Limit a Kxport. The market is clear of he higher grades of salmon but there are large quantities of canned silversides, chums and lower grade Chinooks still in the hands of the packers with almost no demand. One reason for this is said to be the low rates' of foreign exchange, which have pre vented or at least have limited the ex portation of Alaska reds and Puget sound cockeye, thus glutting the do mestic market with the cheaper grades. The demand for first quality Chi nooks is strong and all that can be packed will be quickly taken. There will be a scramble for the early fish and many believe the price paid the fishermen for the raw salmon, which was lli.i cents a pound in 1919, will De not less than 12 cents this veai- On the other hand, the prices for the lower grades of fish promise to be way down and some packers aver that unless there is a decided change in the market situation, there will be no fall packing.

Portland Eyrie, No. 4, Fraternal Order of Eagles, who for many years have had their hall at Third and Madison streets, win move immediate ly to Eleventh and Alder streets, having leased the spacious hall for mally known as the Knights of Pythias hall.

CLEVELAND, O., April 3. Janan ese birth rate in California is so high and their standard of living so low that any American policy other than exclusion will result In the ultimate destruction of the American popula tion In the west, it not In the whole united states, v. s. McClatchey. pub lisher of the Sacramento Bee. asserted today in an address before the City y wu. The Japanese lave neither th ability, the desire nor the power un der their government to become citi zens or this country, Mr. McClatchey said. "They are unasslmUabre. They do not care for citizenship. Their gov ernment expects Japanese in . this country to remain loyal to the coun try of their fathers and they are loyal to Japan. The chief objection to the Japanese is not racial antipathy, but the knowl edge that their economic advantages make it hopeless for the white race to compete with them, Mr. McClatchey exDlalned. "The Japanese question is really an economic one it is simply whether or not this nation can admit to the country a people who can drive the Americans out," he said. "The Japanese work longer hours for smaller pay than Americans; their Wmu toil iu tbe fields; they concen- Forester Goes to Conference. SALEM. Or.. April 3. (Special.) F. A.
