today what would happen if he
deserted the conscientious ob

He reportedly told the camp
superintendent he planned to
leave because the camp was "no
place" for him, but the officer
warned him, "you know what
will happen if you leave."

Food Conference Plans to
Raise Living Standards
Hot Springs, Va., May 21 (U.RI China and the Netherlands to
day added their support to growing sentiment at the United Na
tions food conference in favor of a world commission for con
certed international action in
raising the living standards of
all people. Dr. P. W. Kuo, chief
of the Chinese delegation, de
clared in favor of the project,
previously endorsed by the
American and British delega
tions. M. P. L. Steenberghe, chair
man of the Netherlands delega
tion, advocated an international
body which would be "equipped
with greater and more indepen
dent powers of investigation and
control than has usually been
the case hitherto."
Herve Alphand, chairman of
the French delegation, said he
was confident that France, too,
wijl join in any international
organization to deal with the
post war food problem. He add
ed that he believed France if
her manpower now imprisoned
in Germany is returned prompt
ly and if seed, fertilizer and ma
chinery are made available
will be able to help feed dis
tressed European nations after
the war.
The Chinese delegation held a
press conference at which Dr.
Kuo told of China's views. He
was flanked by experts from
Chungking who joined in the
discussion as it touched their
particular fields.
Delegates to the conference,
however, rejected the theory
that they were conjuring up a
permanent system of interna
tional charity.
They described as erroneous
ideas that the United States
would be called upon to feed
the world at the expense of its
own people.
Richard K. Law, chairman of
the British delegation keynoted
that theme with the statement
that the United States would
provide some things in the post
war world, but that no one at

Pennsylvania
Miners Return
Pittsburgh, May 21 (U.R)
Strikes tapered off in the west
ern Pennsylvania bituminous
coal fields today as miners re
sponded to appeals of govern
ment and United Mine Workers
officials, and union leaders pre
dicted that operations will be
back to normal by Monday.
The back-to-work move began
late yesterday when workers at
three mines employing more
than 1,100 men returned to
their jobs, and strikers at four
other pits employing another
1,100 men, voted to go back to
work this morning.
At the height of the strike,
most of them due to resentment
among the miners over develop
ments in the prolonged contract
negotiations in connection with
their demands for wage increas
es, some 6,000 workers employ
ed in 15 mines and a coke plant
were idle. The walkouts began
Wednesday.
The walkouts violated a truce
declared by John L. Lewis to
take effect when a previous 15
day armistice expired last Tues
day midnight.

Oregon has long been a pace setter for the nation. In every flrive,
in every campaign this state has not only topped its quota, but
many times it has led all other states in the Union.
Why ? Frankly, we don't know ! But that's the way Oregon does thing!.
That's the Oregon spirit!
In the month of April the people of Oregon were called upon to
lend their government $110,000,000.00 by buying War Bonds. Dur
ing the month rallies were held, volunteer workers sold bonds
everywhere, business firms devoted pages of advertising space to
explain the need for buying more bonds.
These things were done in other states, of course. But what hap
pened in Oregon?
In record time the people of jOrcgon oversubscribed their quota,
bought the staggering figure of over $150,000,000.00 worth of war
bonds. Amazing? Unusual?
Not for Oregon. As far as the people of Oregon are concerned
goals are set to be topped, records made to be broken. Much credit
is due to the civic-minded men and women of the state who give of
their time and energy to plan, organize and direct these drives. But
the real credit belongs to you, the men and women and children
of the state of Oregon ... you who have the Oregon spirit.
;Wc are proud to live in such a state, proud to count ourselves among
such people.
Good going, Oregon keep up the good work! Purchase of Second
War Loan bonds was important, but it won't do the whole job. So,
in addition to what you are already buying, resolve NOW to buy
MORE WAR BONDS every pay day! Keep Oregon out in front.
