F. Pound, grand chef de gare. Sentiment expressed through the officers was forwarded today to the Oregon delegation in congress urging their utmost support to the pending measure.

It was reported that as many as 60 guns have been confiscated In a day. Government officials sought to minimize Importance of the con traband traffic, but there is persist ent concern for the security of the Islands. Talk of incorporating the Dutch East Indies into the British com monwealth of nations for their pro tection is current, but there Is no evidence to indicate that Island au thorities are considering such a plan. Dutch authorities are fearful that, if a complete American embargo should be imposed on Japan, the Japanese might seize the islands to assure themselves a constant sup ply of essential raw materials. However, this fear Is secondary to concern that the German occu pation authorities in Holland may hold relatives of the Dutch East Indies' residents as hostages in or der to force some change in the status quo desired by Germany. J. E. Van Hoogestraten, director of the department of commerce of the Indies, Informed the United Press of the definite concern re garding a possible United States embargo against Japan.

Curran. chief of the pulp and paper division of the for est products laboratory, iorest ser vice, U. S. department or agricul ture, believes Douglas fir, the pre dominate wood of the Pacific northwest, is destined to become one of the nation's most import ant sources of pulp In the near fu ture. He made this observation upon his arrival here for the fall conven tion of the technical association of the pulp and paper industry. Dr. Curran's division recently devised a process for the pulping of Douglas fir. Pulp Supply Constant He also said that vast expanses of second growth timber and hard wood, which are crowding out softwoods in many cut-over sec tions. will ultimately supply the pulp and paper interests of the Pa cific northwest. The local supply, he said, of such wood for such purposes is practically unlimltable. The forest products laboratory discovered that Douglas fir prefer ably trees not more than 100 years of age could be made available for paper and pulp If chipped into small pieces and subjected to somewhat different, somewha more costly chemical process, He said "I believe the higher chemical cost of preparing Douglas fir is offset by the comparatively lower price of this wood."
