Internationalism Denounced-
To the Editor: lo. 1916 a bitter po
litical campaign was waged in this
country. la the west, particularly.
where, the ' women voted, the great
campaign slogan of the Democratic
party was: "He kept us out of war."
At that tfme we were assured that
the only way to keep out of war was
-to re-elect Mr. -Wilson. Those who
were courageous enough to predict
that. we could '; not keep out of war.
and still maintain bur national self-
respect, honor and integrity no mat
terjwho was elected, were met with
ridicule. From Mr. .Wilson, Mr.
Brj'an. Henry Ford. Dr. Anna Shaw;
from college professors, from the
pulpits and. from others, came the di
vine message that it was impossible,
impracticable, and wholly out of rea
son for America to enter the war;
that there was such a thing as peo
ple Ibeing "too proud to -fight." and
that we must hare "peace at any
price.
. Tjhe Pacifists were in the saddle.
They lulled us into a false sense of
security , with their Idealism'; they
promised us peace, and we believed
In and trusted them, - though over
half the world was engaged in bloody
strife; trusted 1 them. ( though each
day's news told us of I further mur-
derj of American citizens lawfully
traveling upon the high seas. Then
we jrere told that the only right solution-of
the war was a "peace without
a victory"; a peace that would place
the murderous Hun at the peace tar
ble on .an equal basis with the al
lied, nations. Think of it! "Peace
without victory!" Germany,, the
arch-criminal, to sit at the peace ta

reage but a great many growers with

care of and letters are coming Into
the Salem Fruit union dally asking
them to attempt a solution of this
problem. Numerous small unit rrnlt

meeting held In Portland Monday it
Is evdent that the producer is giv
ing this matter tinnsual thought and
U going to handle bi own arralrs
the same as any set of business men
would do.
Avwlatlon Originate Here
"The matter of a statewide i"nit
growers association was brought np
by, me, but the idea was not entirely
my own. It having been broached to
me some six months ago by Stanley
Arnrong. manager of the Milton
and Freewater growers association at
Milton. Oregon. . At that time I told
Mr. Armstrong that the idea from a
marketing and economic standpoint
wm a good one but that on account
or petty district jealousies I doubted
the visibility of the growers getting
together.? During the pat three
months, however, very disastrous
district competition and low prices
received by unorganized growers has
crystallized the desire for coopera
tion in every fruit producing dis
trict in the state. Local cooperative
associations as single tints however,
have In all but three or four instanc
es proven painfnl failures and a state
wide centralized organization Is a
necessity. Growers in Roseburg and
The Dalles and other sections realize
that through Ignorance of true val
ues of their products their fruit is
being used to compete with and re
duce prices ' on ;, the fruit of other
growers , in organized districts who
were trying. to get' a --price conslsten
with actual market conditions and
the organized growers were begin
ning to'ieel the weight of the com
petition ' of the steadily increasing
unorganized, uncontrolled tonage.'
Calirorala , Takes Profit
, "The domination of California
packing and canning concerns in the
fruit business of the state was also
a potet factor In the desire for co
operation. These firms annually
take millions of dollars of prift out
of the northwest 'states to be divided
among California stockholders and
growers figure on retaining these
profits for their own use for circula
lation in the communities where this
wealth is produced. They are also
desirous of seeing Oregon products
go outu nder labels which are synon
ymous with Oregon Instead of Cali
fornia so that the state may get the
credit for Its superior products, a
credit, which is now going to anoth
er state 1
"These conditions became so
strong that I talked the matter over
with the i board of directors of the
Salem Fruittt nion and they decided
to send me to California to stndy the
strong points and also any weakness
es possessed by the large California
associations. After conversing with
various, associations and talking with
them I was invariably advised Aaron
Sapiro. a young attorney in San
Francisco which- I did. Mr. Sapiro
