OUR NEIGHBORS, THE FIJIANS
The flight of the Southern Cross, 3138 miles over the Paci

For another, it made the Fijians our neighbors; and it

of the enlightened world.
There are about 140,000 of them. Suva, where the Southern
Cross landed, is the capital of the Fiji Islands. It is
on the island of Viti Levu, the largest of the group, with 4112
square miles of territory. The whole group has 7740 square
miles of territory say about four times as large as Marion
county. , - . ,

fits; 'yes, several times that much value, in building up the
dairying and kindred industries, and in large tonnages of
other crops following sugar beets in rotation.
And this would mean major irrigation development in the
Willamette valley, and beet sugar factories here.
So this Canadian demand for higher protective rates is in
teresting here; so is the boom in the cane sugar industry in
Louisiana, for that gives strength to the baciing the whole
industry will have in this country in demanding decent and
business like, and statesman like, treatment.
If the farmers of the United States will get behind this
industry, as they have lined up behind the McNary-Haugen
idea, they will put over a campaign for a self contained coun
try in sugar
And such a campaign, crowned with success, would help to
hurry the time when there will be no need for the McNary
idea being applied at alL

It is a tragedy far too common and one of the actors never
dies, the evil meance of the treacherous dope that is the motif
and cause of these heartbreaking dramas.
"The world is on wheels." That is a common expression.
The world is growing wings. "The world is on wings," it will
be ere long.
W. B. D. Dodson, manager of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce, in his address to the Salem Chamber of Com
merce at the noon luncheon yesterday, gave some good hints
to our people. A number of them. One, for instance, to the ef
fect that we ought to take more interest in developing our
farming sections. He said every farm worker is equal to an
industrial worker in giving business to the, city. We have
room for a hundred workers on our farm lands where we have
one now. And the hundred will be on the average and more
prosperous than the one.
4 AIRMAN COMPLETE
FLIGHT TO ISLANDS
(Oeatinaed from pace 1.)
1 (The Portland Telegram)
This is the story of a tragedy that may now be told with
out offense since all of its leading characters are dead.
In one of the pleasant towns of Oregon, where home-loving
Good-fearing folk placidly passed their decent lives, there was
a physician of unusual skill in his profession, a lover of music
and good books, a kindly, courteous, gallant gentlemen, proud
of his name and the home in which his gracious wife dispens
ed the generous hospitality that was their common pleasure.
Sometimes the stern demands of his calling overtaxed his
energies; sometimes the tension of overwrought nerves
brought pain that he was not strong enough to bear, and
such times he found relief in cautious doses of narcotics he
had at hand and which he felt his superior knowledge enabled
him to use with safety.
From that point, the tragedy begins, a long slow, bitter
thing, trailing its fearful way through years of agony and
disgrace. The proud and patient wife did all that honor could
. trfight this subtle, gruesome enemy, but there came a time
when the wretched victim turned against her and found a
more pliant and complaisant companion whose eyes held no
wnroach for the shaken, broken thing he had become. Alter
far too long a time too long for his tortured body, too long
for his old-time friends, too long for his heartbroken family,
the man died.

of the triumphant landing at

the landing to be made.

MOSCOW, Russia, June 4.
(AP). RussUa preparations for
an expedition to seek tbe missing
dirigible IUlia took a turn today
when the Nobtle reliei commis
sion decided to send sea raters by
ship and airplane to Fraas Josef
desolate archipelago east!
of SDiUberren.
The decision to surrey Frans
Josef land grew out of the receipt
of a message by the relief com
mission from a radio amateur at
Zovesensk in North Drinsk pror
ince bordering Archangel that he
had picked up what appeared to
be an appeal for help directly
from the Italia.
The message, as transmitted to
the relief commission was as fol
lows: L
"talia Nobile Frana Josef SOS.
SOS, SOS. SOS. Terri teno ehn."
(No explanation was given on
the last three words of the mes
sage which may have been garbled
in receipt) .
The radio amateur said that he
received the message on a 33.35
meter wave corresponding to the
Italia's radio station.
While there was" no further
message to support belief that this
may have been the Italia broad
casting directly, the commission
was conTinced of Ue possibility
that General Nobile had come
down at Frani Josef land since all
wind conditions at the time of the
Italia's disappearance ten days
ago would support the theory that
the dirigible easily might have
been blown toward the uninhabi
ted archipelago.
The exact time that the mes
sage was supposed to have been
heard by the amateur was not
ttii hut tho commission first
heard of it last night.

One U the effect that the Canadian tariff advisory board
is having hearings on a petition of the beet sugar people for
an increase on the import duty on refined sugar, as a mea-
aure for the protection of the Canadian beet sugar industry.

not an hih as the American rate for refined sugar; but that
does not amount to anything in this country, because the dif
ferential in favor of Cuban raw sugar gives the producers
of the United States only $1.76 a hundred pounds protection.
The rate should be higher, both for Canada and the United
States. The arguments of the Canadian beet sugar people are
" like this : The beet sugar industry "is essential because of the
need of farmers on irrigated land for a higher acreage return,
a cultivated rotation crop, balanced farm operations, winter
employment and cheap fodder for their stock, all of which tne
beet croD provides."
The same arguments are applicable to the United States
To the Willamette valley.
The other item is to the effect that the Louisiana cane
sugar people are expecting an output of 170,000 tons this
year, against 70,000 tons last year, and they expect to have
new variety canes sufficient for a 300,000 ton crop in 1929.
That is very encouraging for Louisaniana; a gVeat come
back for the industry ,due to the increase in acreage of the dis
ease resisting canes. The beet sugar tonnage of the United
States is about a million tons a year.

rate half as high as the combined English duty and subsidy,
which amount to about five cents a pound- .
