Great Britain is showing its appreciation for repeal of the embargo (making U. S. an arsenal for 'the allies) by cancelling concessions to the United States under the trade treaty. It has applied an import embargo on 19 items; controls on 27, and import li censes on 42. Before the reciprocal trade agreement the 88 items repre sented $250,808,000 sold by the Uni ted States to the British. On the embargo list, affecting Or egon and Washington, are fresh ap ples representing $7,330,000; fresh pears, $3,426,000; canned asparagus and tomato juice, $404,000. On the control list, with value of exports before the treaty: Timber, $16,651,000; wheat, $8,312,000; feed stuffs, $483,000; dried fruits, (prunes) $5,649,000; canned salmon. $6,352,000. Items for which licenses must be obtained: Honey, canned beans, hides, skins. The reciprocal trade agreement cut down Pacific northwest exports to the United Kingdom; now the British cut out supplies from Oregon and Washington almost entirely. Unemployment benefits of Social Security board amount to $9,508,333 in Oregon since Jan. 1, 1938, to the first of the present month. Fnr Washington the board reports nav- ments of $5,106,980 since last Janu ary to November 1. Washington was a year later than Oregon in com plying with Social Security require ments. Claims were paid in Oregon to 25,240 persons; in Washington to 27,773 in past ten months. ington, Senators McNary and Hol man of Oregon, Senators Johnson and Downey of California. First skirmish will come when congress meets in regular session in Janu ary, to be followed by the congress ional elections later. Only 15.8 per cent of all land in Washington s,tate is available for cul tivation, and of the total state acre age only 8.7 per cent is actually un der plow. Number of acres used for crops is 3,733,099 out of 42,775,040. in Oregon only 8 per cent is avail able for cultivation and only 5.1 per cent is being used. Oregon's culti vated acreage is 3,112,168 out of a total of 61,188,480, according to the bureau of census. Nevada ranks low est of all, with but 0.4 per cent of its entire area cultivated; Arizona next with 0.7; Wyoming 2.8. Nor is California so "hot." Of that adver tised garden spot only 11.7 per cent is available for cultivation and but 7.1 per cent of the state's acreage is used for crops. These statistics will form part of an argument made next spring in congress in justification for insisting the federal government pay taxes on its holdings in the 11 western states. Figures are from the census bureau. WPA PROJECT ALLOTTED Washington, D.
