HKLI KOR KXPOKTKRS
It is a far cry from the ante-bellum
"hostility to business," rightly
or wrongly charged against the gov
ernment and public, to the liberal
aid now being given American 'bus
iness in promoting foreign tracre.
Under the Webb act, passed by the
'last congress, the war finance cor
poration has a billion dollar fund
with which to help along the export
business. This fund is now avail
able, and from present Indications it
Is not going to go begging. Some 80
export organizations, consisting of
groups of manufacturers combined
something after the manner of farm
loan associations, hare notified XtS
federal trade commission that tbsy
intend operating under the provi
sions of the Webb law. Tbey will
be eligible to loans np to the limit
of $50,000,000 for any enterprise ap
proved by the war finance corpora
tion. There will be no charity about
these loans. They will be backed by
good collateral, and will draw a rate
of interest approximating 6 per cent
Their value lies In the fact that they
will be available for a class of- bus
iness for which most banks cannot
legally make loans. Without them
great and growing set of export
interests, on which much of the fu
ture prosperity of the country de
pends, would be nnable to take ad-

vantage of beckoning opportunities
In many lands.
This la one of the signs of the
times, a proof of the new spirit of
cooperation between government and
business. It is a recognition that
"big business" is not the concern of
a few men, but is literally every
body's business, to be helped along
by everybody as long as It Is honest
and fair.
BOLSHEVIK SCHOOLS
The children In Russia are going
to school Just the way that children
have thought they wanted to go
since the first school was organize
If the children 00 not like their
teacher they dismiss him. It they
are holding a "committee-meeting"
when he arrives he must not disturb
them. When lunch time comes there
is a stampede;' for the first one in
the lunch , room . Is the first, one
served, and food is scarce. "Teach
er" can say never, a word, ifor . he
must not interfere with the rights
of the individual.
There Is no punishment. Attend
ance is not compulsory, and ther;
ire no marks. . Oh joy!
But are these children really hap
py? Any one who knows anything
about children knows that they are
not. The child may hate rigidity,
but he loves the comfortable back
ground of law and order Just - the
same. The undisciplined. Insolent
child Is never the happy one.
And with this lawless present,
what of their future, and of the fu
ture of our children who' must con
tend with the Tesults of that lawless
ness In later years? '
The problem of the Russian school

said the war did little for surgery.
"The discovery of the Carrel wound
wash and its application by Daykln
was a valuable discovery, but as a
clinic the war was failure." He
better wait until those allied sur
geons get Germany on .the operating
table, He is going to learn a lot of
new stuff about war clinics then.
1 According to the Christian Science
Monitor, the most strenuous bit of
reconstruction which the world will
have to undertake is rebuilding the
German character.
Now some French deputy suggests
that the neutral nations help to pay
the cost of the war. It does beat all
the ways a Frenchman can think up
to make other people pay money.
I slates the need for Irrigation recla
mation as there was, and la, In Ore
gon. In this state, with the laud and
soil, water available and climatic
conditions excellent, thoro Is a cry
ing need for reclamation. Thousands
of acres now almost barren, could bo
made to produce wonderful crops.
While there no longer exists any
Ingat obligation upon the part of the
government to return to Oregon the
16,500.000, which Is the excess of
'contribution over reclamation Invest
mont, yet there still remains the
moral obligation. x
This sum should come to Orcuou,
In addition to a Just percentage of
any future appropriations for gen
eral reclamation work. If the peo
ple of Oregon will ibut study tho
comparative figures given above,
they cannot help but realise that
the state has not been Justly treated.
Every sgency tn the state and
ever; taxpayer, has an interest, eltbor
directly or Indirectly, In this matter
and an united effort should be put
forth to secure a Just expenditure of
reclamation funds here. . Every acre
Irrigated adds to the taxablo value
of the state and increases Oregon's
production area.

of the Irrigation committee In con
gress and he has called a meeting to
be held In Portland within a few
days for the purpose of Investigat
ing irrigation matters aa above aug
gested. F. 8. Bramwell Is state
chairman and will be present at the
meeting. . .
