PAG" TWELVE The OREGON STATESMAN, Salecu Oregon, Thursday Morning, Jcne 25, 1931 amm OFF, ICLB Conditions Here no Cause ' For Complaint Avers , " Russell Brooks TWrf country hasn't much to "try about In the shape and form ot hard times; not when compar isons are made with some condi tions in European countries. . So declares Russell M. Brooks, eon- - sul in London who is home to spend two months with his moth er, Mrs. Mildred IL Brooks, coun ty treasurer, and other relatives. He said the wail ot Gepreesion was noticeable as soon as he got on the train to come across the country, and that it continued. much to his wonderment. .. President Hooyer's new plan to suspend payments of war debts ' for one -year is a splendid move and will stop considerable agita tion in foreign countries ior the present. Mr. Brooks believes. It will help put Europe on her feet again. Business depression in tUid country, though not as bad as sit uations in foreign nations, will . not Improve until the rest of the werld is relieved of suffering, in his opinion. ; Taxes Here Held j Comparatively Light i i r Taxes in this country are after all comparatively; light. For Eng land 20 per cent of the Income Is taxed as one . item: in France. . people lost heavily, especially in their bonded wealth, through -depreciation of French currency. - Relative to the war debts,' Mr. Brooks' said there seems to be a general feeling in every European nation involved that II one coun try will cancel debts, every other one will. In Engiana. tne war debts have not increased the tax. and even payments to the United States are covered by monies re ceived from creditor nations he says. ' England's gravest "problem Is unemployment, with two million persons, at least 800.000 ot whom were - coal miners, out of work. Unemployment has reached such a point there that the nation has virtually accepted It as an estab lished fact and permanent one, though not to the large extent of the past few years. The British financial system la so sound that In spite of adversities of employ ment, there is no thought that it will be shaken, the visitor said. Packing Industry la bow Built up One move that England has adopted to alleviate unemploy ment has already found, whether it Is realized or not, echoes in this country and even in Salem, Mr. Brooks pointed out. That is establishment and building up of a packing industry. Last year be tween 60 and 100 million cases of peas, beans, carrots, loganber ries, blackberries and strawber ries were canned. -Other British industries are being encouraged, including au tomobile, rayon- and radio. Strangely enough, radio produc tion Is contrdled. by the govern ment with a license fee of $2.50 necessary before installation can be made. Few American radios enter the country. Radio pro grams may not be used to discuss politics and there is no buying FOR STYLE in Cueetria JxepngehiUori S THE NQRG-E Norge Electric Refrigerator ha the Ilo&ator, a compact and pow erful refrigerating mechanism that is almost ererUstinjI- Every part of the Norge has been built to be equally long Eved, and that includes lU de sign, too.

Pro grams are. generally high grade, and music broadcast is exception ally fine. 3- Hand in hand with establish ment of the new industries, and especially the packing one which is seriously -affecting American exports, a consistent "buy British goods" campaign is being waged. The campaign was devised almost entirely as a move to relieve un employment. :'rj.-- Mr. Brooks pointed out that the consular service in London is en tirely self-sustaining, and helps even pay expenses of the other branch, the diplomatic service. He has been stationed in Lon don the past year and a half, and was also there in 1922-23. : He has also been stationed at Rotter dam. Dresden.
