Washington, D. C, Feb. 21. Unless
the senate restores funds eliminated
lay the house in department of ag
riculture appropriation bill a num
her of activities in the Pacific north
west will be curtailed. For example
take the weather: Most severe storms
come from out of the Pacific north
west, sweeping in from the ocean.
Vessel weather reporting service is
"out.' In addition to its aid to agri
culture this service is a safety aid
for aviation from Seattle to San
Francisco; from Portland to Salt
Lake City and all airways carry
ing mail and passengers.
There will be elimination of river
and flood forecasts on the Columbia.
No funds are available for checking
epidemic diseases of Douglas fir and
larch; all cooperation with states for
control of insects affecting men and
animals diseases and very limited
-will be the scocting to detect infest
ations of forest insects. No funds
are available to develop small ponds
and reservoirs.
No more money for loans to tenant
farmers. In Oregon loans have been
made in Linn, Lane, Jackson, Clack
amas, Lincoln, Malheur, Wallowa
counties, total $283,000. In Washing
ton a greater sum has been loaned.
Nothing in the bill for parity pay
ments (estimated 1940 obligations,
Washington $2,000,000; Oregon $1,
300,000). Without ballyhoo a conference
was held in Chicago a few days
ago at which the issue involved was
whether a new heavy industry
would be justified in being launched
in the Columbia valley area. The
conference continued for two days,
was attended by specialists and
technical advisers, and when and if
the decision is favorable all the
money necessary will be furnished
by one of the major financial houses
of the country. There has been no
indication as to when the jury will
come in with the verdict. It will
mean a big payroll if all goes well.
Commercial interests of the Pa
cific northwest may be credited with
having defeated any move in con
gress to place an embargo on ex
ports to Japan. The bill proposed
by Senator Schwellenbach of Wash
ington would have embargoed ev
prvfhinE? except agricultural items;
Senator Pittman's bill would stop
all shipments to Japan. Willingness
of their colleagues to save lace ot
the two senators prevented the for
eign relations committee from sum
marily rejecting both proposals, and
nothing will now be done until the
state denartment gives the word. It
is felt that relations between the
United States and Japan are suffi
ciently delicate without inviting fur
ther irritation by an embargo, and
action on the bills has been indefin
itely postponed.
Senator Holman of Oregon is still
waiting for the senate to act on his
resolution authorizing an investiga
tion of the immigration service. Al
though the. resolution is on ice, it
has received publicity and letters
have come from many parts of the
country making suggestions. Sever
al from California are proposing that
t.ViP inauirv delve into the reasons
why Secretary of Labor Perkins has
for years refused to approve ot
starting deportation proceedings ag
ainst Harry Bridges, CIO west coast
leader. The adininistration does not
look with favor on Holman's intend
ed probe.
If anyone thinks there is gas or
nil in Oregon. Washington or Idaho,
on the public domain, the general
land office will make a lease (filing
fees from $10 to $32) permitting
prospecting, and if deposits are dis-
covered the finders will be permit
ted to develop the property. Casual
prospects have been made in the
past without making a commercial
strike, and the government is now
willing to encourage the curious.
The market agreement program is
more popular on the Pacific coast
than anywhere. Leading group con
sists of 14,000 walnut growers in
California. Oregon and Washington
with a farm value crop (1939) of
$11,240,000; western Washington veg
etables 1300 growers, crop $1,150,000;
Oregon cauliflower 300 growers,
crop $90,000; Oregon and Washing
ton fresh prunes 600 growers, crop
$380,000; Oregon, Washington and
California hops growers, crop $5,
550,000; same states fall and winter
pear growers 3,000, crop value $1,-
600,000.
In the national capital there is a
firm conviction among 90 persons
that Roosevelt will be nominated for
a third term with the best chance of
any Democrat to be elected. There
is more doubt about electing Roose
velt than there is about his nomina
tion.
Vice President Garner is deter
mined to prevent Mr. Roosevelt's
nomination (he made Roosevelt s
nomination possible in 1932), and if
he cannot win himself he will throw
his delegates to someone like Farley
or Montana's Wheeler, but not to
Cordell Hull.
Inside groups of the White House
circle are looking to the Common
wealth Federation in Washington
and Oregon to look after Mr. Roose
velt's interests in the Pacific north
west.

WE WANT YOU TO FEEL AT HOME
wherever good beer is sold
The Brewing Industry realizes that de
cent, respectable people prefer to patron
ize decent, inviting places.
And we agree with them.
That is why we are taking action
in cooperation with law enforcement
authorities to "clean-up or close-up"
beer retail establishments that disobey
the law or permit anti-social conditions.
To do this we have instituted a new
self-regulation plan now in operation in
a few states and being extended as rap
idly as possible.
We think you will be interested in
knowing something about this program.
May we tell you about it in an interest
