Lumber for export to western Europe will keep all the mills of Orecon and Washington working at capacity for the next five years, according to Roger E. Simmons, foreign , trade expert for the department of commerce. Mr. Simmons returned recently from a tour of Inspec tion of the. lumber producing sections or -Russia and Finland. Sixteen billion ttt nnmiillv will )w the lumber requirement of the countries of western Europeydurlng the next five years, according -o Mr. Simmons. The lumber industry of Russia, -which ' for merly supplied 60 per cent of the Euro pean market, has been wrecked by the Bolshevists and vast areas of timber were destroyed during the war. Russia. as ac factor. in the world market, win require at least five years for. rehabill tation, he says. :', Mr. Simmons went to. Russia in June, 1917, as joint representative of the de. partment of commerce and the National Lumber Manufacturers' association ad had abundant opportunity for observa tion. He-was arresetd by agents of the Bolshevik government and sentenced to be shot but escaped that fate and was released after spending 11 days in prison. Mr. Simmons will . address the mm bermen at a dinner at 6 :30 In the Port land hotel and Thursday night will speak to the members of the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen at their head quarters at Second and Stark streets. (Continued From Pas One) over the east and HeAert Hoover's statement that the shipload of food to Kurope would go in July. Traders believe there will be no food administration in existence after July to keep a curb on the market, and they anticipate a stronger market. The hog market here was affected Immediately. Following the Barnes an nouncement prices .dropped 5c to 10c. They opened 10c lower today, and the tendency was said to be .lower. - There was some reduction in wheaf flour prices, but that was believed more a partial cause of the break In, corn than an effect. Flour prices were ex pected to stand up for a time, as the trade is reputed to have little flour to offer. Increased demands for cash corn from the east, and Herbert . Hoover's state ment that the last special order of foodstuffs for Europe will leave in July, strengthened 'grain futures on the Chi cago Boanl of Trade today. Tradersinterpreted Hoover's state ment as meaning there wilj. be no fed eral supervision of food after July. New buyers were also brought into the mar ket by the heavy drop in prices during the past few days.; Provisions followed grain. WHEAT IS RELEASED FOR DOMESTIC TRADE April 30. (U. . P.) s BarnesrJieaa oi - tne unuea States Grain corporation, today ordered release of 160,000 bushels of wheat for domestic trade. The action follows his threat in St- Louis Tuesday to end profiteering and speculative grain hoarding.' The wheat is owned by the govern ment and . stored here in warehouses. It is only a small portion of the gov ernment owned wheat held here and which Barnes believes will be suf ficient to. smash prices and end prof iteering. .

Speetal Cable to The Jonmal nd The Chietto (Copyrfrht. 1910. br Chir.no n.n r t Naples, Italy, April 30. Italy is alight witn a single name. Never before, for war. or peace, has the country been so unitea. flume must be Italian, and Italians in the streets are calling for volunteers and manifesting their senti ment in a slogan translatable into "Flume or Bust." Saturday the citi zens of Flume solemnly offered their city to the Italian provisional gov ernor, General Grazioli, who naturally refused, while waiting for the formal act of annexation on the part of the Italian government. This cannot be long In coming. Never before have modern Italians been so self-satisfied. The en thusiastic crowds which greet Premier Orlando applauded their representatives, yes. but they mostly applauded them selves. For Italy has done something "historical. Italy has practically de fied the most powerful ruler in the world and yet risks next to nothing. The newspapers carefully assure the people that America will not shut Off the food supplies. The Jugo-Slavs may fight, but their chance of success un aided. Is zero. ' If President Wilson sup posed that the Italian people claimed less than their Paris delegates claimed, then the president erred. PEOPLE BECOME EXTREMISTS Today the people would go farther than the government. Today the people would go any length and can only be restrained by the government unless the .government acts prudently. Today's difference .of opinion may easily become a breach so wide-as to engulf not only the League of .Nations, but the .entire results "of the allied victory. Perhaps this fact is understood by those who are most enthusiastic for the return ot the dele-gates. It. is necessary to, remember that the Italian newspapers have during the con ference" constantly, assured the country that its requests were just and mild and certain of. acceptance. They have done everything possible to undermine con fidence in the League of Nations.. It is said by them that President Wilson has already broken his principles by permit ting France to exploit the Saar basin. in recognising Britain's rights in Egypt, in not pressing for the freedom of the seas and in granting Dansig to the Poles. According to the .Italian jour nals, air the other nations have realized their claims. ITALIANS "SOT INFORMED The Italians are not informed con cerning the real attitude of their dele gates, during the negotiations, nor the reason why President Wilson published his note. I believe that President Wilson failed completely to understand ' Italian psychology. The Italian is an inveter ate bargainer, yet even Baron Sonnino must have Been the discrepancy between claiming Fiume on the principle of na tionality and Dalmatia for defense. Consequently I believe that Italy would have yielded Dalmatia with proper guar antee' for the Italians in the cities, but 110 government in Italy could concede Fiume and -last 10 minutes. The Ital ians need Flume because of . Trieste, but every . Italian has drunk in love for his Italian brothers there wltn - nis mother's milk. ' In this point lies a chance for a compromise. In the mean time the Italian newspapers arc full of attacks on President Wilson, who in three days, in their opinion, passed from the most popular to the most unpopu lar man In the world. Naturaliy. .all the skeptical and former Germanophile writers are saying "I told vou so." Kven the greatest friends of the presi dent believe him to have been led astray by the Jugo-Slav. An attempt is mad' to show that the American neoole are against President Wilson, nnd all the attacks ,on him in the American news papers are sedulously quoted. Yet who shall say from the attitude of the Ital ians today what it will be tomorrow?
