Voiture Favors
Selective Act
Selective military service, com
monly called conscription, is unani
mously favored by the grand voiture
officers of the 40 et 8 socletle of
the American Legion, according to
a telegraphic poll Just completed
by Dr. B. 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. The telegram
from Orand Chef de Gare Pound
states the position expressed by of
ficers of an organization of more
than 800 members In the state.
Endorsement of the selective serv
ice plan was given last month by
Marion county voiture 153 of the
40 et 8 socletle while Grand Chef
Pound has been advised that simi
lar action was taken recently by
the voiture at Toledo and that the
Clatsop voiture was taking similar
action tonight. Portland voiture
at Its last meeting also acted fav
orably upon the plan. Discussion
of the plans for military service
Is expected at the monthly meet
ing of the Marlon county voiture
at the Quelle this evening at 6:30
o'clock.
Necessity of the state-wide poll
Is explained by Grand Chef Pound
because any action that might be
taken at the grand promenade dur
ing the state convention of the
American Legion at Seaside Sep
tember S would probably occur af
ter congress has taken a vote upon
the conscription plan.

East Indies
Dutch Worried
By Gun Running
By Wallace Johnston
Batavia, Dutch East Indies, Aug.
21 (U.PJ Gun running on a consider
able scale was reported today to be
adding to worries of authorities con
cerned with the fate of this isolated
and wealthy Dutch territory.
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.

"The region's storehouse o. rffnv

Dr. C. E. 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."
