County Urged
To Aid Plan
Mattress-Making Fund
Asked for Project
Backed by US
Request that Marion county
establish a $73 revolving fund as
the first step in starting a county
ma tress-making project under the
farm security administration of
the US department of agriculture
was made of the county court
Friday by Robert Rieder, acting
county agent, and his assistant.
Rieder told the court the gov
ernment has authorized the estab
lishment of mattress-making pro-J
jects in rural communities and
towns of less than 2500 popula
tion.
Participants in the project will
be furnished mattress materials
valued at $8.55 for each ma tress.
together with assistance and in
struction in fashioning the finish
ed product. Each family will be
allowed materials for' three mat
tresses, each expected to equal
in value a commercial product
sold for $40.
Rieder indicated that about
1200 persons are eligible to par
ticipate in the project in Marion
county. Low income is the sole
entrance requirement. -'.
The government provides par
ticipants with cotton filling and
ticking, Rieder reported. The
county's revolving fund will sup
ply needles and other sewing
equipment, as well as quarters
for maintainance of the project.
The investment will be repaid
through a 75-cent charge made

Indian youth, attending the first
rural Indian youth .conference of
the northwest at Chemawa Friday
were unanimous that a national
organization of Indian youth
should be formed somewhat on
the order of the Future Farmers
of America. The report was signed
by Loraine L. Fry of the Colville
tribe of Washington, who was sec
retary of the group.
Support of the proposed organ
ization was given by a resolution

reservation, Wyoming.
The youth committee exoressed
in its report a desire that the na
tional youth organization be joint
ly for boys and girls, and include
junior nigh, school students and
members beyond the high school
age. This form of organization
they held would help develop more
cooperation on the reservations
and in Indian communities. In
general the plan is development
ol character and training for bet
ter citizenship.
Students among the visit ora
numbered 10, representing 14
tribes. Total attendance was about
65. .
The resolutions committee men
tioned that recent surveys showed
most Indian boys and girls remain
in their home communities after
leaving school.
It was held that the youths
should be free in their choice of
a way of life, and that "Indian
initiative and active participation
are essential in any program of
planning.
"Recognizing the fact that any
progress we can make must be
based upon establishment of sub
stantial happy homes, our educa
tional program must be directed
to that end."
Thursday night Chemawa stu
dents gave a dance for the visitors.

- Premier Flayed
" (Continued from page 1)
TOKYO, Feb. 22-(Saturday)
(JPy The absence of Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye from
the diet on a plea of illness was
the subject of polite Duffle finite
comment today- by the important
newspaper Asahi, which said,
"There seems to be room for cri
ticism of his continued absence
and his occasional Illnesses at the
most critical times.
The same edition carried a page
one account of Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka's second special
interview in two nights with Jap
anese newspapermen in which
Matsuoka was quoted as saying:
"For the past two weeks Bri
tain and ethers have been
playing ap stories In the press
as If afraid of some positive ac
tion by Japan, despite the fact
that, at least of late, Japan has
not taken any positive action
whatsoever In the south. I can
hardly understand It" "
- He said his recent exchange
with British Foreign Secretary
Eden concerned this, but declined
to touch on the actual contents.
He reiterated that instead of off
ering to mediate the European
war, he merely answered a Brit
ish inquiry concerning Japan's
mediation between French Indo
China and Thailand.
Asahi's comments on Premier
Konoye started by recalling that
the late Premier Hamaguchi, who
was fatally shot in 1931, had been
forced to apepar before the diet
even though he was ill and feared
an attempt on his life.
"This was a heartless act on
the part of the opposition," Asahi
said.
"We are not demanding that
such a foolish thing be done in
the case of Premier Konoye, but
there seems to be room for cri
ticism of his continued absence
and his occasional illnesses at
the most critical times."

In the-text of his address which
he distributed to the press In ad
vance, Bulow declared he was "not
so sure what a so-called senate
filibuster continuing the debate
upon this bill until Europe settles
its own war would be very bene
ficial' to the people. In deliver
ing the speech, however, he aban
doned part of his text and did not
use the word filibuster, merely
saying: 1
-rm net ee tone that the best
thing that the senate could do
for the United States Is to de
bate this bCl until Europe set
tles its quarrel. That would
keep as eat of the war."
At another point, he added to
his prepared address by declaring
that there are two questions be
fore the country:
"First, how the president Is go
ing to keep the people out of war
and second, how the people art
going to be able to keep the pres
ident out of war."

of his remarks that the proponents
of the bill "outnumber those of us

that he knew that whatever he
said would not Influence a single
