Economic War With Japan?
A hundred and thirty years ago the United States, a
young and overconfident nation, invoked an embargo against
both parties to a European conflict in a famous attempt to
end it by "measures short of war." The attempt failed miser
ably in its intended effect upon the warring states; at home
it resulted in one. of the most powerful movements toward
disunion this nation experienced prior to 1861.
: The picture which loomed before most contemporaries
when they thought of Jefferson's embargo of 1808 was that
of the empty, rotting hulks of what had been the proudest
merchant marine on the globe. The acute depression which
the New England states suffered during the embargo peri
od was the most virulent germ of disunion which worked in
the yeasty republic of that time.
In considering the preliminary steos toward a possible
embargo on shipments of war materials to Japan and o'her
changes in trade relations that may have been contemplated
when the state department served notice of intention last
week to scrap the 1911 commercial treaty, it is well to take
note of this early, painful experience of our nation in connec
tion with the embargo. At the same time, it may not be wise
to give it too much weight, for while history does repeat it
self, it just as often reverses itself.
It is important on this Pacific slope to understand, how
ever, that if there is to be economic war with Japan, this
region will bear the brunt of it Every year approximately
1520,000,000 worth of goods enters and leaves through Pa
cific coast customs districts, and of this $345,000,000 worth
represents trade with the sea-pirt empire of Japan. Japan
ese trade, in other words, accounts for about 60 per cent of the
foreign commerce of the Pacific ports.
The race of the Risine Sun may be, just at present, a
very naughty people, but they are also good customers for
such commodities as oil where a dearly won stabilization
of the industry would be toppled should the Japanese market
suddenly evaporate--raw cotton, metal working machinery,
refined copper, iron and steel scrap and other manufactured
products.
. This is not ncessarily a conclusive argument against an
embargo. It is significant of something perhaps a more
general tendency to place humanity above material consider
ations than we are wont to credit to the general public
that Secretary Hull's sudden action last week met with ?ren
eral approbation, even in the Pacific coast seaports which
would suffer from an embargo. This attitude was foresha
dowed by the moral support given to the Chinese and others
who picketed scrapiron shipments some months ago.
The term "dollary diplomacy" was invented to describe
the United States foreign policy of only a few decades ago.
That "dollar diplomacy" no longer has the support of the gen
eral public is evidenced both in this case and in the fact that
military action in Mexico to defend the property rights of oil
operators, has scarcely been seriously suggested, though only
extreme radicals approve of Mexico's course.
But, revertincr to the proposed embargo upon shipments
to Japan, it is well to know the price of political action be
fore it is taken, the extent to which the national economy
could be damaged by, "a measure short of war" which miarht
fail of its intended effect As for the possible outcome, in
cluding the effect upon the policies of other nations which
have a stake in the orient, that may be more profitably pon
dered six months hence when the final decision must be
made. In advance of that decision, the Pacific coast should
realize that commercial retaliation is a two-eded weapon;
should know, in case the knife were thrown back across
the Pacific, just whose throat would be cut, just whose ves
sels and mills would be affected as were those of Boston and
Lawrence 130 years ago.
To Err Is Human
A newspaper is, to many of its readers, predominantly a
product of the machine. Will Carleton told of the farmer who
took his youngest son, insufficiently robust for agricultural
labor, to the country publisher with the thought that "we
might be makin' an editor outen o' him." In suggesting such
a career despite the fact that the boy was not overly bright,
the farmer revealed his ideas as to how newspapers were
made, in some such words as these we quote from memory
which may be faulty :
' "I used for to wonder at readln'
And where it was cot up, and how
But it's most of It made by machinery.
I can see it all plain enough now;
And poetry too la constructed
By machines of different designs
With a thlng-amajlg and a chopper
To see to the ends of the lines."
Nowadays the average reader has better comprehension
of the fact that while the printed page is machine-made, such
ideas as appear there are conceived and expressed by the hu
man mind. But still the newspaper has that mechanical ap
pearance mechanical being synonymous with a certain de
gree of perfection.
There is nothing especially remarkable about a typogra
phical error. We find them in the copies of the Los Angeles
Times .and the New York Herald Tribune that come to our
desk, partly j because the mail editions are early editions. Aft
er they are out, many of the errors are discovered and cor
rected. Unfortunately, The Statesman has but one edition,
published in the wee sma' hours of the morninsr. Before it
is of f the press, most of the staff has gone to take a well
earned forenoon's rest, troubled thoucrh it may be bv thought
of-errors of commission or omission.' These things are
pointed out by way of explanation and not of alibi.
As to why typesetters ever make mistakes and if .they
do, why proofreaders ever fail to detect them, those are
among the mysteries which have long baffled newspaper
men. After a particularly glaring, libelous error on the front
page of a metropolitan daily, the publisher, red-fared, set
forth determined to find out. He tracked down the offending
proofreader and asked him "how come." The answer was:
"I don't know. I've often wondered. I used to wonder, when
I was a publisher, how my proofreaders made mistakes. I
never found out"
The psychologist can come closer; he realizes that there
is a human tendency to be too trusting, and an. ever-pre?ent
conflict between the proofreader's habit of reading for spell
- ing and the ordinary habit of reading for ideas. The psychol
ogist knows that'the real miracle is the infrequency of typo
graphical errors. . ,-.
But jt , so happened that the typographical error which
appeared on The Statesman's front page the other morning
was funny. It adapted itself to a number of humorous com
ments and was a topic for light conversation for days. Num
erous I persons came, beaming with mirth and superiority,
into our office with a copy of the paper, planked it down be
fore us and pointed triumphantly and accusingly to the of
fending" letter. They seemed to think that we should, be to
tally overcome with chagrin, that we should curl up and die
of mortification. Wer detected an expression of disappoint
ment on some of their faces,
laugh too. : ,.:.-, . - ' , J,
, .. Despite the. requirements of speed, : newspapers try to
avoid mistakes, typographical and otherwise. But when one
does occur, we have learned not to regard it as a tragedy, or
even an unadulterated misfortune. To err is human. A typo
graphical error robs the page of some of its too-mechanical
perfection and, often to the newspaper's benefit, helps the

: -
Rather coincidental la the relay-
ins, oyer two weeks ago, of a copy
or a letter to this desk from
George Carter by Mrs. James
Smart, employed la the office ot
Harold B. Say, director of travel
and information, department of
the Oregon state highway commis
sion the coincidental part of it
will be well understood by all
readera of this column who fol
lowed the long series which end
ed on Sunday, containing a reyiew
of articles by Hon. John Minto,
early Oregon pioneer, historian,,
legislator, man of affairs, scholar.
The relayed letter, dated "The
Lodge, Twin Pines Estate, West
Vancouver, B. C. July , 1939."
signed by George Carter, his ad
dress being, care David Spencer,
Ltd., Vancouver, B. C, reads:
V S
"I noticed your ad in our pa
per re to 'Visit the Famous Ore
gon Beaches. Have you any pam
phlet that gives information of
Winchester bay?
"I was the first white .man to
enter Winchester creek: Har
greave and I went in together
from Schofield creek in January,
1882, but I was in the lead when
we actually got to the creek bed.
Captain Cornwall had his home
at the month of the creek. We
sure had a rough" time. Hargreave
located there, I helped him build
his shack and staked my claim,
but never recorded as I struck out
for Salem, and had many friends
there, and have reason to remem
ber Salem, as my real start in life
in America.
S
"I was working at my trade as
a carpenter and worked for Papa
Rourke in the old flour mill; then
Lige Colbath and helped to build
the first grain elevator. Here also
I heard my first lecture on tem
perance by Rev. John Dennison
in the Methodist church; also my
first introduction to Y.M.C.A. La
ter I was called from my bench at
Victoria to take charge of the Se
attle T.M.C.A., from 86 to '95.
S S
"I think it was in '85 that I
joined Lucien Fullerton, his wife
and McWiUiamson and my side
kick, Harry Minto, in driving a
band of horses past Mt. Jeffer
son to Black Butte on the Me
tolius. I think at that time there
were only three settlers there.
Harry and I and one of the set
tlers rode our horses back to Sa
lem over the Minto trail and Har
ry said we were the first party
to cross after his father had blazed
the way."
V
"Since then I have been an
Oriental importer: done over 100.-
000 miles into and from the ori
ent, and although in my 81st year
1 still hold my position as buyer
and manager of oriental rugs in
Spencer's department store.
"With all good wishes for Sa
lem and Oregon. George Carter.
V V V
"I was a Congregationallst and
used to sing in the choir of the
old white church; 56 years ago.
God bless them! C. C."
How many people in this vicini
ty remember Mr. Carter? Not
many, this columnist believes.
The "old white church" of 1883
still stands, but is now an apart
ment house two blocks east, on
the east side of the alley; ot
course fronting Center.
t w v
Mrs. Lucien B. Fullerton, who
went with her husband on the
first horse drive over the Minto
pasr, had been Sarah Minto, sis
ter of John Minto, and so was an
Hunt of Harry P. Minto. She
owned the original land claim of
her brother. John Minto, four
miles south of Salem, that be
came the property of her sister's
son, Alonzo T. Wain, Jr., and so
remained till his death.
The regular reader will recaU
that Harry P. Minto, while war
aen of the Oregon penitentiary,
was kUled by an escaped convict,
September 27, 1915.
S
Of course, George Carter, Van
couver, B.C., was supplied with
matter about which he inquired,
by the travel and information de
partment of the Oregon state high
way commission.
He will have noticed that Min
to pass, over which he aided la
conducting the first drove ot
horses ever to go that way, is
now traversed with a state high
way. IQ time, it will be the great
and the best highway over the
Cascades, 12 months in the year
and it will be called the Minto
highway.
The Metolius river, whither the
1885 horse drive was headed, is
one of the three of the western
tributaries of the Deschutes river
that have their sources in giant
springs. The others are Spring
end Fall rivers; Metolius the lar
gest and longest of the three,
flows from the north base of
Black Butte, full bodied and icy
cold. It probably comes from the
Indian name for fish, or white
fish. Fremont forded the Metolius
river on December 1, 1843. on his
way from Oregon to California,
hut gave it no name.
Does any one here recall McWil
liamson, the fifth member of the
1885 horse driving party?
The "old flour mill" was likely
the "Scotch" mill, on North Front
street, and the elevator was likely
the one in connection therewith.
The whole plant was, many years
ego, ourned to the ground. The
big Hunt cannery plant is there
Bow."LIje Colbath" was no
doubt E. J. Colbath, old time sash
end door maker and leading car
penter, aating back to 1871. Mem-
readers to realize that the newspaper-makers are, like them
selves, jest folks. i ,
In desperate need of increased patronage, the New York
world's fair is going to jrive away an auto a dav value J 1000
as a gate prize. How the New Yprk newspapers get away
with publication of this news about a lottery, in editions
which are distributed by mail, is a mystery to lis. The States
man would be called on the carpet for mentioning that a
neighborhood sewing club was going to raffle off a quilt.
Aside from this interesting speculation, the item reveals that
the World of Tomorrow is a tremendous flopthey have to
bribe people to attend. ; . -
