The Chinese Loan
NEGOTIATIONS begun last fall have been finally con
cluded by which China will buy in this country $50,
000,000 worth of wheat and cotton, on credit advanced by
the R. F. C. This is of great importance to the northwest
because most of the wheat will come from this region. In
pre-war years we used to ship thousands of bushels of
"wheat and barrels of flour to the orient. After the war the
market dwindled because other wheat was cheaper and
because local mills in Shanghai ground up much of the
wheat so less flour was imported.
The sale to China during the Hoover administration
lifted a big load off of northwest markets; and this new
deal will do the same. Last fall when northwestern grow
ers pressed for a sale it could not be concluded because
China offered no security on the loan. Now the Chinese
government is securing, the credit by pledges of specific
taxes.
People should understand the peculiar situation re
specting northwestern wheat. The most of the wheat grown
in the Umatilla, Walla Walla and Palouse districts is soft
wheat, rich in starch but deficient in gluten. The milling
demand for this quality is limited in this country. It is fine
for biscuit making, but that means a long rail haul to the
southern states and the freight rate is usually prohibitive.
So our northwestern soft wheats have gone largely into ex
port to England and the continent. But the last few years
with domestic prices not on a parity with prices in Canada
and Argentine and Australia those countries got the British
business and our farmers lost that market.
The situation this winter and spring was serious. At
the first of the year only about a third of the 1932 crop
had moved from the interior warehouses. There came a
limited demand from the eastern part of this country and
some of the wheat moved by rail or water to those markets.
This is now threatened by the lifting of cargo rates. Mean
time a new crop is coming on, which gives good promise of
yield. Warehousemen have been perplexed over what to
do with the new crop, with warehouses still bulging with old
crop wheat.
The China deal will take a large part of the northwest
stocks of wheat. It is to be purchased in markets so all deal
ers will get a chance to sell. A great deal of the wheat will
be ground into flour in this country, and the entire pur
chases of wheat and flour and cotton will move in American
vessels.
This should give an immediate stimulus to movement
of wheat from interior warehouses, to flour milling, and to
shipping interests, assuring boats of good cargoes for some
time ahead. As for the credit to China, that country must
be meeting its payments under the former sale or the R.F.C.
would not consider making a fresh loan. Anxious as we are
to sell, we do not have to give our produce away to the
Chinese.
A fifty million dollar deal i3 not pulled very often in
these days of forced economy. This one should do good all
the way round, to sellers, to processors, to shipping inter
ests, and finally to the Chinese who will get to eat the
wheat and wear the cotton. '
Services for Sale
mHE way the new administration i3 taking to commer
cializing its prestige would seem to i n d i c a t e it is not
anticipating a long stay in the seats, of authority. In for
mer years presidents have waited until they left the White
House before becoming contributing writers ; likewise presi
dent's wives. Thus far Mr. Roosevelt has not started a daily
column, but Mrs. Roosevelt is taking over a department of
a national women's magazine. Her daughter is selling her
services over the radio, the fact that she is the president's
aaugnter navmg oeen used in the tender of her time by her
agents.
Prof. Raymond Moley, intimate of the president, now
syndicates a column with the newspapers. Col. Louise
Howe, another intimate, now secretary to the president,
went on the air, presumably with compensation, Sunday
night, and is to be a weekly feature in the time formerly
used by David Lawrence.
Eager as those high-placed in the administration may
be to capitalize on their connections, they should realize that
the public taste is fickle, and that this is just the begin
ning of a long four-year stretch. There is such a thing as
anti-climax;, and in politics it comes with dramatic swift
ness sometimes. This state "has seen the working of anti
climax in the case of Governor Meier. If Roosevelt possess
es the tradition "Roosevelt luck" that went with the first
Teddy, he may escape the reaction; but the lesser lights
should be more backward; otherwise their illumination will
grow paler as time passes. There is nothing like the element
of mystery to keep public interest and support. When peo
ple try to write or talk steadily they are sure to descend to
banalities or to make bum guesses.
Prof. Moley in particular, would do much better if he
saved his literary talents for his memoirs. Col. Howe's first
venture on the air drew him a sevar nannino- fmm ?m

The series of 12 articles in this
column concluded on Sunday
made mention of the historic 4 th
of July observance of the 65th an
niversary of the celebration at the
site of the Nisqually mission, the
Hudson's Bay company's fort and
the Wilkes observatory, in the
suburbs of the present city of Ta
coma at which observance a
monument erected marking: the
spot was dedicated.
The reader who has followed
the articles recalls the set tins; of
the "first public observance of
our national birthday on the Pa
cific coast or west of the Missouri
river" by Capt. Charles Wilkes, in
charge of the U. S. navy's famous
exploring expedition in Pacific
waters, and his officers and mar
ines, and the Methodist mission
ary and Hudson's Bay company's
forces, and the Indians of the
country surrounding.

time of the original celebration
was a servant in the employ of
the Hudson's Bay company.
Also, there was present the only

No matter what tee cause. It
means that the heart must work
harder and even then the different
organs of the body receive less than
the needed amount of blood and
nourishment. When this change oc

is prohibited. The body must rest
and relax as much as possible. Al
cohol, salts, peppers, spices and other
condiments must be omitted from the
diet. Only simple and nourishing
food should be eaten. Over-eating Is
dangerous for persons suffering from
arterio-sclerosia.
I am sorry to say that most per

He struggled into a big brown
overcoat, set his hat on the back of
his bead, carefully cut and lit a
.agar.
At the door he stopped and looked
down at her quizzically. "Kiss
Papa?" Hie little blue eyes were
laughing into hers, his gold teeth
gleamed.
Of course he didn't mean It He
was just fooling I But her face
named, her heart began to pound.
She looked at him appealingly, and
tried to smile, as if she appreciated
the joke.
He roared again, and patted her
en the back. ''Come on youU be
the death of me yet. Come on step
on it I've got a date!"
In the elevator she was too shy
to speak, and when they were alone
again, there wasn't time.

So Joan came to live with Maisie
Kinuner.
There were the first moments of
something like terror, while she
waited, awed and timid. In the red
carpeted and potted palm magnifi
cence of the hall. And then Maisie,
pink and plushy, with big, old fash
ioned diamonds in her ears, and a
little sprigged rauslin apron ever

welcoming her at the door. Every
thing about Maisie was warm, her
big, capable hands, her heart, ner
temper, and her rooms In the Grand

Nor would she listen to Joan's
enough lines out to get along
side, and took them all ashore in
the breakers." That is. the offi
cers and crew of the U. 8. battle
ship Peacock were all taken
ashore through the breakers on
