J i Goss Warns Grange , New Production - Helps Needed m , . (Continued from Page 1) 'way to the goal of "how to pro-1 duce enough food, doming ana i shelter so max an men w j "vvto an amole supply." Goss set up three euide posts for the 800,000 oranirpri he represents. These were: " 1. Any program which retards the production of wealth is un sound. ' ''' 2. The compensation of - each should be based upon what he mn tributes to the" eeneral wel fare. '" '" 3. The prime purpose of govern mpnt i to nrotect Its citizens from aeeression. .4- In addition, Gass warned sgainst what he termed as "the grave danger of building an army larger than our resources will be able to support and supply ade quately." "It would be far better to have a relatively small army fully mechanised and adequate ly trained and equipped than a Urge army handicapped by lack of equipment or supplies. "Some of the reported plans forlt an army of 10 or 12 million men l seem to have failed to take intof consideration that we must not only furnish the equipment and supplies for these men, but that 0 we have also undertaken to fur nish a large portion of the food, equipment and supplies for our allies. "It is high time that a compre hensive survev be made of our man power in connection with the obligations we have already undertaken," he said. Other statements made by Goss Included: "Whoever writes law or who ever administers it should never forget that any price control pol Irv which will not enable farm ers to nroduce freely will cause food shortages and result in in-1 Cation. "We have attempted control by putting ceiling on prices, which only aggravates the cause. It has been tried time and again, yet in all world history has never suc ceeded over an extended period. It has resulted1 in curtailing pro duction. . 'black markets' and fi nally chaos. "The surest cure for inflation is an abundance of production. 1 "Agriculture should not ask blanket deferment of farm, work ers, but the importance! of pre serving' the food supply of the na tion demands that" the necessary labor supply of this industry be protected againstrfurther inroads. "There is a great economic waste in taking skilled workers from the farm and then attempt- ing to replace them with untrained men, "We deplore the vicious at tacks made on congress. They destroy confidence in our demo cratic processes. They - create disunity. "The grange feels that the only solution of the farm manpower problem is a price for farm crops which will enable farmers to pay what labor is worth. Such prices should enable farmers to pay rela- tivery more for labor than in the past, for farm wages have never been able to compete with fac- wry wages in securing ine oest -men. t Grange Schedules Election, Forum Annual election of officers headlines the business meeting of Salem Grange No. 17 at the Woman's clubhouse on N o r t h 1 Cottase street at t o'clock tonisht Action on applications for, mem - bershiD is scheduled also, and Roy Rice, county deputy, is to be present to -administer . first and second degree obligations to can - didates. : : : ' -1 The open forum round table discussion,- which follows at 9 o'clock the business session.

Gen Mark W. Clark. , i- - In the early hours of this dra matic day, Adolf Hitler had turned tne mock DacR to June, 1940, de stroying his armistice with France on the grounds it was immediate ly threatened by allied invasion from the north African coast . His divisions were moving , rapidly through the i so-called unoccupied sons' of France to the; great port of Marseille and the naval station of Toulon, by way of the Rhone valley and the Midi. ; J I -They also were spreading out along, the Pyrenees- border be tween France and' Spain. Across the Mediterranean bar rier ! the American armies under Lt Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower raced eastward along the Algerian coast, occuping Bougie,' 110 miles east ' of Algiers, on the way to Tunisia. - : -v. - " Italian marines were said in al lied quarters to have entered Bi zerte, Tunisia's key port French resistance to the Ameri can forces in Morocco and Al geria ceased with the capitula tion! of Casablanca, first city of Morocco, which was attacked by land and sea since Sunday. Rabat, above Casablanca, was firmly occupied; Algiers and Oran, main cities of Algeria, already were in United States hands. Thus more, than 1000 miles of Atlantic a si d Mediterranean coast, all of French north Afri ca save for the developing bat tleground of Tunisia, was in the possession and service of allied forces for the coming Showdown with the German and Italian enemy. But the Darlan order to end French resistance applied to Tuni sia as well as to the rest of France's north African empire. Before dawn Hitler informed bewildered old Marshal Petain and ; "the French people" that he had learned "since 24 hours' that the next allied attack would be against Corsica and the French Riviera coast; that therefore, Ger man; and Italian troops would 00 cupy the Mediterranean shoreline on j the quickest way through France" and also "take; part in the protection of Corsica." L Aghast, Petain then replied: "I protest solemnly: accused Hitler of "suppressing the first assump tions and principles of the armis tice" of June 24, 1040, and it was reported, added that he would in no way interfere with any resist ance which the French might of fer to the advancing German and Italian troops. t Wednesday night retain and Pierre Laval were still st Vichy, their shadow capital; German officers and their staffs were reported to have entered the very hotel occupied by the "government" and Vichy, as a regime, was. utterly at and end. Wednesday evening the Ger mans announced their; troops had reached all their objectives, pre sumably including the Mediter ranean ports, within 12 hours after crossing the demarcation line. Delzell Answers Queries, Power Company's Plan 5 PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.-0P) -Thomas W. Delzell, 4 trustee of the Portland Electric Power comf pany, now in reorganization uiw der j the bankruptcy act, said Wednesday at a securities and ex change commission hearing on the company's dissolution, plan that relations: between" Pepco's main subsidiary, Portland General Elec tric company, and thevBonneville power administration ; might af fect bis estimate of Portland Gen eral Electric's value. ! In reply to a question put by Paul Peliason, counsel for bond holders of interest, Delzell said. however, that he did ! not believe a long-term contract with Bonne ville; was necessary. He added that Portland General Electric "is in an enviable position so far as ade quate and stable sources of power are concerned."- j. Delzell was cross-examined at length on the basis he used in esti mating Pepco's equity in Portland General - Electric company and Portland Traction company, which he put at $25,800,000 nd $6,700,- oou, respectively. He also placed a valuation of $1,210,000 on inter- urban railways operated directly by Pepco. 1 .

Canada's prime minister Mac- Kenzie King and cabinet officials gathered in Ottawa to commem orate "the loyal service and sacri fice" of Canadians in the first war. In a radio address from New York, Roane Waring, commander of the American r Legion, called for a "peace dictated in the capi tals of Berlin and Tokyo and Rome while they are still smoldering from the wrathful fire of our guns snd bombs, The moment Germany becomes "demoralized" by allied pressure in Europe and Africa she will be struck by invasion across the Eng lish' channel , or, north sea, Prime Minister .Winston Churchill pro mised the house of commons Wed nesday, while the nazis were over running all of France. ; "An attack which , will bo made in duo coarse across the channel or the north sea re quires an immense degree of preparation." the prune mini ster told the electrified cham ber. "All this is proceeding but it takes time." j "Of course, should the enemy become demoralized at; any mo ment the same careful prepara tions will not be needed. Risks could be run on a large scale. z In a message ringing with op timism, Churchill told the house it could be sure "that many things are going to happeltin the next few days," and sounded an omin ous warning to the nazi's nervous ally when he said "We shall short ly have far greater facilities for bombing Italy." Describing axis losses in the battle of Egypt as "mortal, he said that the wide encircling move ment of British and American forces in North Africa had as its primary object the "exposure of the underbelly of the axis, espe cially Italy, to heavy attacks. Secretary of the Navy Knox, declaring that a second front was now "wide open," said Wed nesday night that America's part in this war has just begun and that there was "a long hard road stretching beyond this Ar mistice day to that other day when we will celebrate. God. willing, not an armistice, but a victory." Speaking at an American Legion Armistice day observance here, the navy chief called for vastly increased production of war ma terials to feed the armies now fighting all over the world and said he had been told by produc tion officials and workers that the increase could amount to 20 to 25 per cent without increasing hours of labor or reducing profits. "A 25 per cent increase in pro duction would be equal to' adding an army of millions of additional trained workers," Knox declared. "Such an addition would be a tel ling blow to our enemies. bringing nearer , the day when 'this, too, shall pass sway and we can ad dress ourselves to the problems of peace." , Of the campaign in North Af rica, the secretary said: "A second front is open wide open! This week we have launched an historic undertaking. The stakes in Africa are of. incalculable mag nitude to us and to all the united nations and to France, that great and ancient, empire, the - benign friend of our infancy as a nation and our heroic companion in arms in the first world war. ' ' "Stricken5 France will struggle to her feet again. Great races are not so easily enslaved." Secretary of State Hull Wed nesday characterised Hitler's Armistice day invasion of un oecupled Franco as a move in complete harmony with. Ger- maay's fixed policy of lawless ness and utter disregard of the , most solemn obligations. He hesitated to predict, how ever, that It ; would immediately Dring France back into the war on the side of the allies in reply ing to questions at his press con ference.
