C ASTERN Oregon wheat raisers
"again showed vision and under
standing of the basic problems of
their industry in actions evolving
from their annual league conference
here last week end.
They recognized the necessity of
preserving the productivity of the
soil, of raising varieties that will
bring the greatest profit, of lowering
overhead in every possible respect
including reduction in governmental
costs and continued low interest
rates, of obtaining the cheapest pos
sible transportation. In fact, they
recognized that the cloth of the fu
ture must be cut to the greatest
possible advantage.
The reason for this was pointed
out clearly by Dr. E. J. Bell, assist
ant director of the western division
under AAA, in his review of the
world wheat situation. He depicted
how the Pacific Northwest is forced
to compete in the world market for
disposition of its surplus that part
of the crop which spells success or
failure to the grower.
Under normal conditions, markets
east of the Rockies in the United
States are supplied from fields closer
at hand against which fields of this
section are cut off from competing
by a natural barrier. This leaves
only the Pacific coast strip west of
the Rockies and the foreign markets
for our growers.
With a spread of 26 cents a bushel
between the London and Portland
markets, representing transportation
costs and a British tariff of 6 cents,
the Portland price fixed ordinarily
by a glutted market in the eastern
United States, the grower of this
section is placed in a critical condi
tion in competing with Canadian,
Australian and Argentina wheat of
which there are also normally large
supplies. Therefore, the only re
course for the industry here is to
operate on as economical a basis as
possible.
This is looking at the long range
view. Growers this year, were fa
vored with higher prices almost en
tirely due to shortage in production
through weather causes, as Dr. Bell
pointed out.
It is heartening that the growers
assembled here grasped the funda
mentals of the problems facing the
industry, and that in the ultimate
their recommendations followed the
lines of judgment and reason.
By this course the Eastern Oregon
Wheat league has continued its in
estimable contribution to the well
being of one of this county's major
industries and through it to the well
being of the entire community.
Those who made the development of
the most recent program possible
should have the gratitude of every
one, wheat raiser or not.
History in the Making.
T IKE Cleopatra and Mark Anthony,
"or Napoleon and Catherine, the
fate of a nation or mayhap nations
may depend upon the love affair
of King Edward VIII of England and
Mrs. Wallis Simpson, American
commoner.
This major event which has claim
ed the attention of American peri
odicals for more than a month re
ceived front page notice in England
only this week. Having been sup
pressed by the press of that country,
it was forced into the limelight by
action of Prime Minister Stanley
Baldwin when he demanded that
David Windsor either give up Mrs.
Simpson or the crown.
Immediately the English people
vehemently voiced support of their
king, and the issue, if forced further,
will probably be resolved into
whether England shall have a new
king or a new cabinet. If the first,
the Duke of York would succeed to
the throne. If the latter, Winston
Churchill seems to stand in the fore
front as the logical contender for
Baldwin's shoes.
Some American observers have
voiced the opinion that the king's
personal affairs were brought to is
sue to force King Edward to abdi
cate on the assumption that Ed
ward's actions show he intends to
be king and not figurehead.
Delegated practically all the pow
ers of a dictator, should Edward de
cide to keep on being king and mar
ry Mrs. Simpson if he chooses, there
is little church and state traditions
can do about it especially as he has
the most important thing of all, the
voice of the common people of Eng
land in his behalf.
What major issues that lie behind
the open squabble will probably
come rapidly into the limelight.
With all Europe tense and aquivver,
it may be the entire course of Euro
pean history will be altered through
King Edward's decision.
THE BIBLE, A UNIVERSAL BOOK
By Rev. R. C. Young
"I read the Bible because it teach
es me, in the words of Emerson,
that the lesson of life is t obelieve,
what the years and the centuries
say as against the hour.
"The Bible makes its final appeal
to every thoughtful reader by lift
ing his eyes far above the .insecur
ities of this transient scene. If one
truth stands out more clearly than
another in the pages of the Bible, it
is that events and movements must
not be judged alone in the light of
their immediate failure or success.
But we in America have been ob
sessed with the glorification of the
immediate moment. We have been
sadly lacking in our understanding
of the social forces which have pro
duced present world conditions, and
we often give the impression that
we are chiefly concernel with the
pleasures and profit we may get
out of the immediate situation, rath
er than with the foundations which
we may lay for a better world in)
the days to come."
Universal Bible Sunday will be
observed in the Christian and Meth
odist churches, Sunday, Dec. 13.

Heppner Hoopsters
Defeat Irrigon, 31-16
By Paul McCarty
Heppner high school's basketball
squad journeyed to Irrigon Tuesday
night and returned after an over
whelming victory of 31-16. Irrigon
took the lead at the start, but the
locals quickly overcame the 2-point
margin and held it throughout the
game. Halftime score, Heppner 11,
Irrigon 6.
Starting the second half, Heppner
opened up a scoring spree that com
pletely spelled defeat for the Irri
gonians. Making use of their scor
ing offense as a good defense, the
Irishmen sank 10 baskets to their
opponents' five.
An odd feature of the local team's
scoring has been that in both games
played, their half time score has been
11 points.
The floor play of Gilman was in
strumental in setting up many scor
ing plays for Heppner, while Tur
ner and Van Marter were high point
men with 10 points each. The line
up: Heppner 31 Irrigon 16
Gilman g Markham (3)
Hoskins (7) g Sparks (2)
Van Marter (10) .. c Jones (4)
Turner (10) f Houghton
Munkers (4) f Bedwell (2)
