There has been olenty of direct and rough sneaking at then sessions; and the press of the world acta a an amplifier of the harsh and bitter language that is used. The reactions of irritation and con cern and even hostility are na tural. Moreover, with the full re iMtrtmg. delegates are tempted to make more speeches to get more headlines, more, new space. Secret diplomacy has been de nounced severely and secret treat tes have long. 'been under suspi eion. This was because the deals of the past were generally dynas tic, with no concern for the peo ples involved, where the princi pals are sincerely concerned about the welfare of peoples as well as nations negotiations in private are far Jess reprehensible.

Senator McClellan (D-Ark) commented the world has nothing to fear if Stalin "expressed the true attitude of the Soviet Union and its leaders." Senator George (D-Ca) thought the difficulty rs what to believe, since "only plea sant predictions come out of Rus sia."

ANCEI, Sept 24.-(Special) Flax growers at a special meeting here today went on record against accepting the present price of 48 cents offered j by the commodity credit corporation in favor of hold ing out for the original price set up of 58 cents during the post war period and recommending that private and cooperative flax plants of the Willamette valley be given equal recognition. The meeting was called by. the flax coordinating committee, chos en at Corvallis last spring .with R. R. Mitchell of St. Paul as chairman, and! Fred Schwab of Mt Angel, secretary, to acquaint Oregon's congressional delegation with, the valley flax situation. Guests were Sen. Guy Cordon, Rep. Walter Norblad, State Sen ator Allan Carson and Father Al cuin Heibel of Portland, one of the founders of the state's flax cooperatives. Members on the com mittee other than the chairman and secretary are J. E. Price, Dr. D. Barton l DeLoache. Jesse E. Harmond, ail of Corvallis; L. L. Laws of Saem, Glenn Ritchie of Cornelius and Rufua Kraxberger of Canby. Flax plants represent ed at the meeting were Mt Angel, Canby, St Paul. Dayton, Wash ington county, Northwest of Eu gene, Santlara of Jefferson, State flax plant and Benton county. Ab sent were Siiverton, Molalla and Springfield. , Both Cordon and Norblad urged growers to send them . coordi nated repoHj of the entire situa tion. Both stated that they had re ceived various opinions from the different flax groups but that they wanted a complete statement of all facta from the one group, and that without this they were power less to act Carson urged the grow ers to state both sides 'of the ques tion! so that the congressional dele gation would know "for what they had to dig up answers. Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed concerning government handling of the flax situation. In opening the meeting, Chairman Mitchell said that while he was lint thiamine invnn. nnlesa it was the pax producers themselves, fer the price situation, be felf that the industry had not had all the facts presented to government as they should have been. He also felt that some moral obligation by the gov ernment wss due the producers for the flax plants they had put up ait lb behest during the war. ! The questions as to whether the flax) can bo grown aa economicslly In the) Willamette . valley as in foreign countries, and whether the fibre is as good here, were dis cussed by Dr. D. D. Hill of the fiaxiand linen board. Dr. D. Bar ton De Loache and Jesse E. Har monki, all of Corvallis, who agreed that! more time ' was needed for sludy of new varieties of flax to pk-oduce better and more uniform flbef and that this period of study should be done largely by gov ernment help. I Harmond said, he felt that the mechanical ' side of the industry could be so developed that the valley could compete with the low cost of European labor, but that this should be done in the Im mediate future and not 10 years from now when the Oregon flsx plants might have been forced out of the picture. Harry Asbahr of the Santism plant stressed the need of bring ing quality Into the industry; L. L. Laws spoke of the need of lin en plants In the valley, adding that "no one would think of ship ping logs to the east to be maniv factured Into lumber. Father Al cuin urged Immediate action and it. was at his suggestion that the coordinating committee was giv en power by vote of the growers to prepare the report for the con gressional delegation and to put pressure to bear on the price situation. M. C. Donaldson of the Com modity credit corporation, an nounced a meeting was to be held at Portland Wednesday when final details in the flax loan would be worked out somewhat on similar principals as the wheat loan. Kaiser Denies Report of Huge Vrartime Profit WASHINGTON, Kept. 24 (An Henry J. Kaiser figured tonight that he and his family netted about $3,000,000 from four war time shipbuilding firms but said they face a possible $18,000,000 loss from related steel operations. He gave this- estimate to re porters Who questioned him after a session of the house merchant marine committee Investigating wartime "shipbuilding profits. So many sets of statistics were re ceived there that Rep. McConnell (R-Pa) remarked: "We are in a temple of confusion." The committee originally had before it maritime commission figures Indicating that four Kaiser companies reaped estimated prof its and fees or $192,000,000 from a capital investment of approxi mately $2,000,000 Kaiser called this "all wrong" and "absolutely ridiculous." He told the committee the prof it figure did not reflect recov eries to the government through contract renegotiations, taxes and other offsets. Kaiser Insisted that the com bined net profits of all the war time KaUer shipyard operations were less wan orie-iemn oi one per cent of dollar volume.
