CORDON AND SHIPSHAW
' The war production board's recommendation for the can
. cellation of the optional part of the American government's
contract for nurchaae of Canadian aluminum from the Ship.
shaw plant should be well received throughout the United
I States. It will certainly be acclaimed in the Pacific north-
west, where aluminum plants, with ample power at hand have
I been idle or threatened with idleness so that Shipshaw might
1 have a market for its product. And it will be earnestly nopeci
', that the suggestion reported by Senator Guy Cordon from the
small business committee, that the non-optional part of the
contract, for purchase of 100,000,000 pounds of aluminum,
be negotiated, may be promptly carried out. Only by nego
tiation may this obligation to purchase be cancelled or re
duced. But while the board's recommendation is deserving of
approval, it should not be overlooked that the credit goes
back considerably farther than this. Much of its belongs to
Senator Cordon who, ably assisted by Oregon's junior sena
tor, Wayne Morse, has worked for months to bring govern
ment agencies to a realization that America's own production
was sufficient and that continuation of a policy of closing do
mestic plants in order to buy elsewhere was silly.
The American government financed the Shipshaw con
struction with a $68,000,000 loan at a time when facilities in
this country could have met the war need for aluminum.
In the agreement, however, it did not appear as a loan, but
as an advance on one-third of the amount which this govern
ment was to pay the Aluminum Company of Canada for
its product.
The contract was carried out and then, for some un
fathomed reason, it was renewed last March for 250,000,000
- pounds of metal. The northwest asked, "Why?" and the small
business committee of the senate, with Senator Cordon as a
newly appointed member, endeavored to find the answer.
The Oregon senator played a prominent part in the investiga
tions which followed and, through skillful questioning of wit
nesses at committee hearings developed the facts which, once
brought into the open, have shown definitely the folly of the
Shipshaw agreement. Testimony given by Secretary of the
Interior Harold Ickes, who admitted that he had learned too
late of what had been going, on, who scored the contract
severely and urged that it be cancelled, has unquestionably
been of great importance. V
The deal, as Secretary Ickes stated, was a mistake from
the beginning, but it is doubtful if, even now, anything much
would have been done about it had it not been for the deter
mination of the new Oregon senators and the fine work done
by the senior of the two in committee.

MOSCOW'S CRITICISM .
The justice of Russian criticisms of any display of seem
ing cordiality by American officers to accused war criminals
who have' been taken prisoner (Will at onfce be apparent. Hut
when a Moscow broadcaster aenouncesour correspondents
for interviewing the captured Goering, that is something
quite different. In this case, we would observe, the critic
simply doesn't understand.

for American news readers.
It's largely a matter of custom and a matter of outlook.

"A bucket brigade!"
"Bring them buckets from the

All of us fell In, stretching in
a long, gaping line to the brook.
"Pass it on!"
"Pass it on!"

By the time buckets reached

"How did it start?" my mother
asked him. .

over his shoulder. " 'Twas soaked
