Wallace Claims Foreign Trade Vital ' So. Agricultural Balamce

Secretary Believes Nation
as Whole Benefits
in Commerce
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.H7P)
Argalsg that domestic markets
are insufficient to absorb the en
tire American farm output. Sec
retary Wallace told tbe bouse
ways and meaas committee today
that foreign sales were necessary
and urged tbe administration's
trade agreements program as an
effective method for obtaining
tbem.
"I believe that, from the stand
point of agriculture, as well as the
welfare of tbe nation as a whole,
discontinuance of the authority to
conclude reciprocal trade agree
ment would be extremely unfor
tanate," be said. "A program of
thU kind will be particularly im
portant In the days of a post-war
world, which, all of ns, I am sure,
sincerely hope are not too far
away."
Wallace, advocate of a third
terra for President Roosevelt, as
serted at one point in the bearing
that be was "anxious to contiuue
as secretary of agriculture."
Wallace Parries Question
osi Grange Policy
Representative Tread way (R
Mass) had asked him why Louis
J. Taber, master of the Grange,
national farm organization, op
posed extension of tbe trade
agreements program If. as Wal
lace had testified, it bad benefit
ted farmers.
"I suspect that Mr. Taber hopes
that if a republican administra
tlon came in he would be the sec
retary of agriculture, Wallace re
plied laughing.
"Maybe that's why you advo
cate the-program," Tread way said
with smile.
"Yes, I'd like to continue as sec
retary of agriculture," Wallace re
plied. Wallace was the second witness
in the committee's hearings on
the question of extending the
trade agreements act. which oth
erwise expires, on June 12. Tbe
first waa Secretary of State Hull,
who concluded a day and a half
of testimony at the luncheon hour.
Cabtaet Mm, OOP Members
Salpe at Each Other
Both cabinet members became
involved in rough-and-tumble ex
changes with republican commit
tee members, especially over their
Insistence that the opposition to
the plan masked an effort to re
store tariffs to prohibitive heights.
"Industrial Interests which are
trying te scuttle the trade agree
ments program," Wallace said,
"are apparently preparing for an
other 'tariff grab' like those of
1922 and 1930. They are appar
ently attempting to induce certain
farm Interests and certain labor
Interests to act as the shock troops
tn this campaign, so that they
themselves can stop in the rear
and come up in time to walk off
once more with tbe major share
of the booty."

Contract Renewal
Ordered by Court
The county court yesterday or
dered that a previous contract of
sale for a section of forest land
to the Salem YMCA made origi
nally in September, 1938. be
avoided and another substituted
for it.
The reason given is that al
though the purchase price of the
land was to have been $210.32.
the court was to require only
payment of fire patrol assess
ments, which form a prior lien
on the property.
This has been done to the ex
tent of $30.84, but the court has
since learned from the state tax
commission that such assessments
are cancelled for foreclosed lands.
The court has also noted that
the property is to be put to a
use guaranteeing public benefit,
and so is ordering a new con
tract of sale.

Included, the British statement
Bald, flights over the great Ger

has nearly 2.000,000 population,
the industrial city of Frankfort

east of the Belgian border and
the vital Ruhr industrial area in

"Much useful information" was
reported to be the result of these

Flights Equal to
Trans-Atlantic Crossing
British aircraft on security pa
trols of this type have covered as
much as 1700 miles, the equiva

Atlantic flight from Newfound
land to Ireland, the British said.
Londoners heard anti-aircraft
batteries shooting at a German
raider today over the Thames es
tuary, one of five points on the
English east coast scouted in the
fourth successive day of such
flights.
No bombs were dropped on land,
but the German fliers ominously
kept up the aerial survey of Lon

coast and the Suffolk, Norfolk
and Yorkshire coasts.

Lone Raider Appears
to Have Been Hit
Over the Thames three British
Spitfires struck from the clouds at
a lone raider which appeared to
have been hit and waa last seen
trailing smoke and heading out to
sea with the chaser planes in pur

Essex sides of the estuary saw the
fight, with shells bursting near
the raider.
The plane which reached the
Suffolk coast was a HelnkeL An
other Heinkel flew over York

a bi-motored bomber with sn un
usually long and narrow fuselake,
was seen near the Norfolk coast.
She was believed to be a mine

aircraft guns were reported to
have forced all the raiders out to

On Tax Returns
Business Firms Need Extra
Time to Close Books,
Says Collector
Farmers voluntarily file income
tax returns earlier than business
men, according to John G. Hol
land, deputy collector of Internal
revenue, who is busy in his of
fice in the postofflce building
helping worried taxpapers fill out
tax return blanks.
Reason for the comparltive
promptness of the farmers Is to
be found in the fact that many
business firms have not yet clos
ed their books for the year and
must wait to file returns until
this is done, Holland believes.
More returns in this district
are expected this year because of
the recent changes in law which
have brought state employes into
the federal tax-paying realm.
In the middle of February the
Itinerary service of the revenue
office will be started, to continue
until the tax return deadline date.
March 15. Deputy collectors Hol
land and Paul Lynch will travel
throughout the district spend
ing a day in each of the larger
towns answering questions and
helping fill out returns. The two
collectors will take turns being
away from the local office, which
will be kept open at all times for
the convenience of Salem taxpay
ers.
The Salem district includes
Marion, Clackamus, Washington,
Yamhill and Polk counties.
Rural Red Cross
Roll Call Success
The 1940 Marion county Red
Cross roll call has been compiled
and the total number of mem
bers in Marion county are 4024,
according to Floyd Miller, roll
call chairman. Of this number,
229 5 memberships are from Sa
lem. The reports show that $1850
was collected from Marion coun
ty outside of Salem. There has
been a decrease of SIS member
ships in the last year, in Salem,
due to the fact that most people
making contributions to the Com
munity Chest failed to indicate
membership in the Red Cross.
The Red Cross is a cooperating
agency of the Community Chest
and because of this, people should
signify their desire for member
ship. Mr. Miller said.
Eighty communities participat
ed In the rural roll call which
was the most successful in the
history of the chapter. Out of the
80 communities all but four com
pleted their roll call. This year
the Parent - Teacher association.
Women's club and Farmer's Un
ion auxiliary gave volunteers,
which numbered 147, Mr.jMiller
states that-this waa a banner year
for cooperation throughout the

want to build cruisers bigger than
the 10,000-ton limit set in the
now defunct London naval treaty,
he said that the navy believed
existing legislation restricted its
construction to treaty sizes for
all categories except battleships.
The $1,300,000,000 program
would authorize construction of
77 new vessels, none of which
would be battleships. Stark ex
plained that the navy was "short

Neutrality Patrol Held
"Invaluable" Training
In a general discussion he told
the committee that the neutrality
patrol, instituted since the out
break of the European war, had
been "invaluable" from a train
ing standpoint.
Walsh said in his statement
that he had been informed by the
navy department that up to No
vember 16, 1939, no tonnage had
been laid down under the 1938
authorization because building to
that date had been absorbed by
replacement of over-age ships.
He said that 96 vessels now
being built,' including eight bat
tleships, two aircraft carriers,
eight cruisers, 42 destrays, 19
submarines, and 17 auxiliaries,
were "principally replacements."
He added that the public had
"small realization" of the extent
of this program, which he said
was taxing both naval and pri
vate ship building facilities.
In addition, he said, the navy
had disclosed plans to start 24
more ships in 1941, and had au
thority to build 64 more.

"If we can give Finland help
wtihout sending men over there
then that would be fine. The
question is how we could . work

McNary made clear his view
that the Finnish question should
be dealt with on a non-partisan
basis provided the executive! and
