POWER. OF THE PRESS
Well, whadda you know? Currently that veterans admin
istration publicity from the Seattle office is in a smaller en
velop; rruch smaller and less expensive than the one pic
tured on this editorial page a' few days ago. The envelope
used this time is still or a size larger than is necessary for
the contents but still less wasteful tnan the one last received.
The power of the press is displayed in this incident for, ob
viously, the envelope change is the result of our picture and
accompanying editorial comment. At last we have made a
score in our war on government paper waste. Now if only
the government boys themselves would go to work on the bus
iness of economy.
That you may see just what our little campaign brought
about we reprint the picture of the large envelope about
which we first wrote and with it a picture of that now in use.
WHERE DAVIDSON GOT HIS FIGURES ,
As hfifikaround for what we have to say here today we re
print our editorial of May 19 titled, "Unemployment As A
CVA Argument, it read :
i It is Assistant Secretary of the Interior, C. Glrard David
son, wRo is the cnlef administration representative and
spokesman in the CVA controversy and one of Davidson's
arguments relates to the need of power in the northwest lor
inuustrial development to provide employment. On a recent
visit to Oregon he emphasized this point in a debate on the
CVA and he emphasized it to such degree in a newspaper
interview that an Oregon Journal reporter quoted his words.
"Unemployment here (in the' Columbia valley) is three
times greater than the national average," Davidson said.
"Due to the lack of adequate power BPA was forced to turn
down 20 industrial applications." .... 1
Everybody is agreed, of course, on the power shortage and
nobody would deny, we are sure, that it Is desirable to get ,
more power on which can be based more industry that will
provide more employment. It would be agreed, also, that in
such an argument as that over the CVa or any, for that
matter misleading statistics should not be used nor special
instances cited as evidence of a general and persisting con-
We assert that Mr. Davidson has done Just that thing when
he has compared Columbia valley unemployment with that
lor the nation. We charge that he has used the figures for
a few months only In order to make a general point. We .
charge that he has picked out the iigures of unemployment
in a period when weather had lorced the shut down of all
sorts of activity here in the northwest and he has used them
to spread a false alarm. . -
Just what period it was from which Mr. Davidson drew
" his conclusions we do not know. We have asked that infor
mation from him and shall report here when we hear from
him. At the same time we shad call his attention to the May
statistical bulletin of the Oregon unemployment compensa
tion commission with this head over its front page report:
Oregon's unemployment rate falls from whiter peak lo less than
U. S. average; further seasonal gains Been an harvests approach.
This one, at least, of Mr. Davidson's arguments tor the
CVA seems to have turned sour.
It was after the appearance of this editorial that there
came to our attention the article by Secretary Davidson in
the May 15 issue of the Sunday magazine, This Week, contain
ing misleading arguments on behalf of the proposed CVA.
We discussed some of them here last week but we did not
then refer to the article's repetition of the unemployment
argument. We do so now and quote the particular sentence,
thus:
Partly as a result (of the Increase of population In the
Pacific Northwest) unemployment has climbed to 12 per
cent, compared to the national six per cent.
Now, as promised on May 19, we report Mr. Davidson s
reply to our inquiry as to the period from which he drew his
conclusions. Here is his answer :
The information underlying the statement is contained
In the April issue of the monthly release entitled "Employ,
ment Security Activities," of the Bureau of Employment
Security of the federal Security Agency. This report hull-
cates that ratio of workers covered under Federal unemploy
ment compensation who were unemployed In February 19'19,
was 13.1 percent for Oregon and 12.3 percent for Washing
ton, as compared to the national average of 6 percent of
insured workers unemployed in February. Data for March
which have subsequently become avalluble show percent
ages of il.l for Oregon and 10.1 for Washington, as compared
with the unchanged national average of 6 percent.
Seasonal factors will probably cause these percentages to
change from month to month. However, the general situa
tion, which shows unemployment in February and March
to be substantially greater percentagewise in the Northwest
than In the Nation as a whole, will probably not be greatly
changed.
Secretary Davidson's selection of unemployment figures
for the lonely month of February, 19-19 as evidence of the need
of larger industrial activity in the northwest ho may be able
to justify. It seems to us, however, that to give his argument
any validity and to avoid a well-based charge of selecting
particular figures lo serve a particular end he must show
that not only in February, 1919 but in the, say, 12 months
preceding was unemployment in the northwest above the na
tional average.
We invite him to do so.
In Oregon, at least, the February situation was reversed
when the state's report was made in May and that concluding
assertion in the Davidson letter quoted herein would seem to
need reconsideration.

tM SI-
By Ma S. Grant
June 1 Gone- are the May
days, and June is here in all her
glory. . . . . , .
Come wind or rain or hail or
high water, the ferocity of the
elements will be short-lived, be
cause now it's June, the month
of beetles, brides and fresh goose
berry pie. .
The gooseberries on Calico
farm will soon be ready for the
first picking. Already they're the
size of small peas, and the bushes
are literally loaded.
The birds are busy with their
nesting, and they have made ex
perimental raids on the berries,
but found them a little sour for
their taste so far.
Mr. Chesapeake, the tabby cat
(Chessie for short) is no match
for the blackbirds. They seem to
suspect that he's a predatory crea
ture, ana tney attack him from all
sides when he's out in the field
for his dally reconnaissance. They
hover over him, shrieking like
mad, they swoop down in power
dives and pull little tufts of fur
from his mousey coat Last night
he stood his ground and made
awkward passes at them, but it
only encouraged them to renewed
attacks, and he fled for the shelter
of the porch. , , ..
The cats are , intrigued by the
garden. They Jove to plav with
the marker strings, and they seem
to think that the whole operation
is carried out just for their ex
press pleasure. Of all gardeners,
they are the most tireless.
The little waterfall In the front
yard Is like music to the ears,
and it's an endless fascination to
watch the water tumble over the
rocks on its turbulent way to
some secret rendezvous.
. But even in June, there' are
plans and projects. There's time
for dreaming, though, of the
long, lush days when white clouds
float aimlessly in a blue sky, and
the cool, starlight nights filled
with the fragrance of the wild
mint.

for a release of similar size, after The Bulletin had commented
: . , editorially on this extravagance.

Carran, D Nev., had Issued a sub

of subversive aliens that have en
tered the United States and their
activities,
Clark said In his statement that
the files the committee requested
contained Information about high

cluding Belgium, France and Rus
sia, a former ambassador to the
United States, a vice premier of
