normal as It has been in the last
fortnight," he added.

ready fled, he said, but many Am.
erlcans were remaining.

Rescue Liner
Ends Voyage
New York, , June 21 (ff Safely
home after a dramatic brush with
a submarine, the United States l's
er Washington docked today with
1,788 passengers, most of them
American citizens who fled the Eur
opean war zone.
It was disclosed that a group of
passengers, headed by Donald Har
per, New York and Paris lawyer,
petitioned Capt. Harry Manning
to proceed directly to the United
States after the submarine encount
er Instead of making a scheduled
stop at aalway, Ireland, to pick up
additional refugees.
Captain Manning communicated
with the state department direct
and the next day posted a bulletin
which said that authorities consid
ered it unwise to change the ship's
course as outlined to belligerent na
tions and that any change might
Jeopardize the vessel's safety.
Whistles and sirens of harbor
craft greeted the Washington as she
moved up the bay and a crowd es
timated by police at between 1,500
and 2,000 persons, many of them
waving American flags, waited on
the pier.
Thero were 700 children on board,
many of them infants who slept In
baskets on the covered decks.
Says America "
Shies from War
Rome, June 21 (IP) The United
States, "stirred by war gestures of
many of their men and newspapers,"
do not "seem ready to let them
selves be drawn Into a European
war which does not concern them,"
Vlrginlo Gayda, fascist editor fre
quently regarded as Premier Mus
solini's mouUiplece, wrote today.
He declared in 11 Olornale d'Ztalia
that Washington's "invoking the
Monroe Doctrine In notes to Euro
pean, capitals," is "proof of hesita
tion toward adventure in North
America."
Gayda then repeated his previous
assertion that American Interven
tion In Europe would establish a pre
cedent for possible European in
tervention In American Interests.
Italy carried on her war with
Britain and France with her air arm
while awaiting France's reply to the
armistice terms of the axis powers.
It was kept secret whether Ital
ian negotiations with France were
being conducted separately or Joint
ly with Germany.
"Nobody but Mussolini and Hitler
knows the terms," said authorita
tive fascists.
The Italian high command,
meantime, declared that Italian
air attacks on the French base at
Bizerte, Tunis, and the British naval
bae on the Inland of Malta were
"severe and effective."
The communique said Italian
planes violently bombarded the air
base at Matruh, port on the Med
iterranean coast of Egypt. Success
ful land operations against the Bri
tish In Africa were claimed.
800 Autos
And 1 Trojan Horse
Valsetz, Ore., June 21 (U.R) The Valsetz Star dedicated
its June issue today to the republican national convention and
12-year-old hditor Dorothy Anne Ilobson gave the delegates
tnis advice: "we are surname be-
hind President Roosevelt and Kate
Smith In these awful times, and we
think the republicans had better,
too."
Elsewhere, however, Miss Hobson
maintained her usually unwavering
republicanism with the assertion
that "we think the next president
will be a republican."
Disillusionment crept Into the pa
per which has entertained readers
in widely scattered parts of the coun
try for three years.
"When we started the Star we be
lieved In republicans and kindness,"
United States
To Aid Mexico
Build Defense
Mexico City, Juno 31 (IP) A high
source declared Thursday President
Lazaro Cardenas had approved a
program which would more than
Quadruple Mexico's Brmed forces
with the aid of the United States
This source asserted that within
a few weeks a credit of more than
$10,000,000 from the United States
would be made available to the
Mexican government to carry out
this expansion under 60 technical
experts from the United States army
and navy.
Additional millions would be al
located later by the Mexican finance
ministry, It was reported.
The United States government
was said to be determined that
Mexico should not' be used as an
avenue of invasion by any aggres.
sor power, and it was understood
the American credits would be
made available on generous terms.
The American determination was
said to have been communicated to
President Cardenas before Tuesday's
cabinet session, at which universal
military training and "other defense
measures" were endorsed for sub.

Other notes:
"We forgot to mention last month
that we have no police or sheriff in
Valsetz. Everybody does what they
please."
"We have eight hundred automo

or Indirect coercion is being sys

Editors Warned
On 5th Column
Oearharfc, June 21 (fP) J. h. Ple-
per, director of the federal bureau of
Investigation's San Francisco of
fice, called upon Oregon newspa
permen today to lead the fight
against fifth columnists.
The G-man, addressing the open
ing sessions of the 53rd annual Ore
gon Newspaper Publishers' associa
tion convention, recommended
earnest efforts, however, to prevent
any public hysteria leading to
"witch hunts."
A well organized fifth column
campaign to destroy American
democracy does exist, he asserted,
but coordination of law enforcement
agencies la under way to combat
It.
"The preservation of civil liber
ties with full protection for all in
nocent persons Is one aim of the
FBI," he continued. "Self appoint
ed vigilante groups, amateur detec
tives and persons or organizations
who would go further than the law
are condemned.'
He also urged legislation to In
crease the drive against espionage
and sabotage,

pers this morning and if he started
commenting on all of them he didn't
know when he would get through."
But he said he had been think
ing, after he retired on a special
train last night, that there was
some sort of difference between
people that there were those who
think in terms of patriotic motives
and those who think with partisan
motives, and that this ia a very dif
ficult time.
Further than which, he added,
deponent sayeth not.
To a question of whether his re
marks could be regarded as an an
swer to some critics who contended
he was establishing a "wax cabinet,"
Mr. Roosevelt replied in the af
firmative.
The president did not disclose de
tails of how his plan for Pan-
American economic cooperation
would work out, but he added that
perhaps a series of corporations
might be formed, each to handle a
specific export commodity. Or per
haps one corporation might be eet
up, he said, with divisions in charge
of separate commodities.

As for capital structure necessary
for the new program, the chief ex
ecutive said $1,000,000,000 or $2,000,
000,000 was too much.
You see, he said, you can do with
a corporation, ordinarily, five to
ten times as much volume of busi
ness as you have capital structure.
"would it be up to the United
States to supply the capital?" he
was asked.
"Oh, no," tho president replied,
"everybody would come in on it, as
It doesn't require a very big
amount."
What is in prospect, the president
said in his formal statement, Is cre
ation by mutual agreement of "an
appropriate inter-American organ
ization for dealing with certain
basic problems of their trade rela
tions, including an effective system
of joint marketing of the import
ant staple exports of the American
republics."
Trade Decreases
"We Intend also to proceed
promptly and vigorously through
many existing agencies," he went
on, "to deal with various immedi
ate difficulties now facing some
American republics."
To a request for amplification of
that point, Mr. Roosevelt remarked
that in the last six months, for in
stance, exports of meat from Ar
gentina, Uruguay and Brazil had
fallen off a large percentage, as
had exports of Argentine wheat and
United States cotton.
In most cases the decreases were
more than 50 per cent, he said.
He emphasized that commodities
handled by tho proposed organiza
tion would be marketed outside this
hemisphere. It is unfortunate, the
president said, that some people are
crooked enough to say the program
means the Importation of the whole
Argentine beef surplus.
Actually, he explained, It means
the pooling of staple crops grown in
common and getting them off tills
continent.
The total amount of crops would
be less than $2,000,000,000, he said,
turning to Harry Hopkins, secre
tary of commerce, who sat beside
him, for verification of tho figure.
Hopkins said that the crops Involv
ed outside the United States were
worth around a billion and that the
total probably would fall under two
billion.
