TO n I of house doors GO FROM OREGON MONTHLY i Outbound shipments of doors iron: Portland, Oregon, for the first seven months of the present year have reach ed a total of 388.226 doors, weighing 8,572 tom which is 1.008 tons greater than the entire movement by water during the calendar year of 1924, which was 7,564 tons according to < report received from the traffic depart ment of the Fort of Portland com mission. . The shipment of doors for the month of July has reached a total, of 81,087, with a weight of 4,241,326* pounds which is a record month ior Foreign ports re-. the year 1926. ceived 65,498 doors, i, weighing 1,642 tons; Australia received 2,012 doors, the United Kingdom 63,486 door», the domestic ports on the Atlantic coast 15,489 doors, weighing 052,100 pounds; also' 100 doors, weighing 4,500 pounds went to th< Hawaiian Islands. Doors have been manufactured in Portland in a small way* for many years, but the manufacture on a scak ’ufficient for export did not begin until about the year of 1921, during which year shipments amounting to 378 tons were made. This when com pared with the movement of 12,8J j tons during the calendar year of 1925 represents a tremendous increase. To realize the enormous amount oi doors shipped by water from Oregon during the seven Ynonths of this year, it is only necessary to take Ihe number of doors in an ordinary 5 room house, which usually runs about 12 doors to the house. Using that figure as a basis, 388,226 doors would be suffi cient for 32,350 houses which would house a city with a population <rt 129,000 people, figuring 4 persons, to a home. Another interesting feature is that we are using raw products which arc produced in our territory and are increasing our payrolls by their manufacture into a finished prod uct and bring higher returns and keep our factories running. THE INTERNATIONAL SPIRIT” “If democracies are to survive and, especially, are to be effective in inter*^ national relations,” says Henry M. Robinson, member of tbe Dawes re paration commission and president of the First National bank of Les Angeles, "it will be because not only the leaders but the people themselves have a back ground of knowledge and appreciation of decency, propriety and justice in their relations with foreign people, just as we have in this country in our rela tions between states* and between individuals, . “In the beginning of our republic the state quarrels were fierce and long, and occasionally we have recurrences of them now, but they have been reduced to a point where ordinary fairness and justice carry today. The same thing is possible internationally, if we-can come to understand the probfems of competi- , tive nations, and this can only be done ii the people generally can corne to know the conditions, at least,-ol the people in that part of the world, with whom we come in most direct oon- C.
