Northwest Area Suffering
With War too Sailing
Ships May See Use r
By PAUL. F. EWING .
PORTLAND, July 20-(jiP)-"War
may be what Sherman said It was,
to the belligerents, but to the
Pacific northwest it's 1 a - sharp
pain in the pocket book."
Wars require ships, and their
ArrartiirA h irt wnnnmr? mien
' of cargo on wharves, weakened in
dustries and 1 a b o r -fearful, of
. empty dinner pails.
. . What affects the northwest
hits every section of the nation
Portland Is America's second larg
est wool port, and first by wide
margin in out-shipments.- The
northwest loads ships with a good
ly share of the United States
lumber. Wheat and ' flour ship
ments are immense.
Approximately 70 ships former
ly in intercoastal trade. hare gone
Into the war tones; . of.. these.. 50
were drawn directly from the Atlantic-Pacific
trade. "
Craft left on the run have been
cut to 86 and deadweight tonnage
has gone down from 1,337,353 to
881,359. . .
Foreign Ships Drop .
Foreign" ship arrivals In the
pott of Portland alone; hare drop
ped 384,000 tons from . 907,114
to 523,113 since the outbreak
of war.
The cash loss is staggering.
Ninety to 95 per cent of goods
, shipped from the Portland area
I Oregon, southern. Washington
I and part of Idaho go by water
with 4 5 per cent normally destin
ed for foreign countries.
This foreign traffic was valued
at 117,500.000 in 1938. The Port
land chamber of commerce esti
mates export losses since the war
started at from $4,500,000 to 5.
000,000. Seattle's losses are approximate
ly the same and other ports in
the area add more to the total,
which still does not Include un
eatlmated domestic trade declines.
The West Coast Lumberman's
association said 43 ships which
formerly carried 37 per cent of
Oregon and Washington lumber
moved In intercoastal trade have
gone out of service.
Flour Cut to Half
Had ships been available, the
North Pacific Flour Millers as
sociation estimates that , 3,500,
000 barrels of flour would have
gone to gulf and Atlantic coast
markets this season. Cargo space
scarcity will cause a loss of about
2,000,000 barrels, equivalent to
9,000,000 bushels of wheat.
Wheat shippers refuse even to
estimate their losses.
In 1 9 3 9 Oregon-Washington-Idaho
wool production was esti
mated by the Pacific wool grow
ers at 39,572,000 pounds. Most
of it went to Boston and the
Atlantic coast by water, 27,000.
000 pounds of it through Port
land. Wool growers are wonder
ing what will happen to this busi
ness a large share 'of the na
. tion's total1 for wool.
The lumber, fishing, wheat and
wool industries determine the
northwest's pay checks and busi
ness profits. Employment still is
fairly high, due to stimulation of
smaller industries, but northwest
welfare officials fear a reaction
If the depressed condition con
tinues In the major fields.
Tonnage Prices np
Ship operators, not In business
for their health, scarcely share
the northwest's alarm. Ship
prices for deadweight ton have
climbed from $15 to $50 and
$55. The maritime commission
and many ship owners see a build
ing boom in the offing. In ten
years, they expect to have S00 new
vessels. r
Shippers, who watch Deri aha
ble goods that can not wait fen
days gathering mold, begin to get
a little hysterical at this point.
The famed old windjammer
Commodore, noted in farmer
years for fast passages from
Hawaii- but lately serving as a
drilling company supply ship on
the Alaskan coast, is reported be
ing prepared to be towed to Se
attle and refitted for the world's
trade lanes.
Other sail-driven ships soon
may lay off the Straits of San
Juan and the Columbia river bar
at ' Astoria, helping to .ease the
northwest's jammed economic ma
chinery.

Berlin) A crusade has begun
to tidy up the carefree morals of
the city that used to be Gay Paree
and to urge that women "in these
hard times" forego the' fashions
for which Paris has always been
famous.
This morality movement, con
ducted through the press, is the
most marked of all the changes
wrought by the German occupa
tion; changes which, embrace antl
semitic and anti-British outcries,
an 11 p.. m. curfew and traffic
restrictions which have emptied
the streets.
"The real countenance of Par
is," says the writer Andrea Mor
ane, "is not that which some
shameless women show you. The
real countenance is ope of French
womanhood fulfilling its task;
of the business woman in her
