Some times the meeting of great mtndjs, which are far apart, la almost Miraculous. The latest ex ample Is the pro posal which the more or less Re publican Senator Nye la now spon soring In the sen ate to revise our historic sea pol icy. He wants to have congress tuttorln the president to with draw protection from American Apricots, Peaches Nearly . Wiped Out Wall Walla Section Also Suffers Sleet, Snow at Hood River PAUL MALLON cltlwna who endanger the neutrality of this country by venturing inw war eones. ! The truth Is President Roosevelt: had that same Idea privately a few j months ago. It went so far that the state department drew up a report! recommending that he suggest such legislation to the congress Imme diately. Haste was necessary In view of the precarious European situation and the fsct that our outworn sea policy got us Into the last war. But Just at that time the senate was Incensed over Mr. Roosevelt's Tecommendatlon tor American ad herence, to the world court. When the senate rejected the court pro posal, the White House msnlpu lators put their heads together and agreed It was no time for Mr. Roose velt to bring up the neutrality Issue. It was filed away In the archives temporarily. Now that Nye ha suggested It. State Secretary Hull has rushed Into print with a promise that he will he onlv too glad to co-operate with the Nye committee In drafting such legislation. ., It may be that nothing more lm nnri.nl . than a telepathic miracle Is Involved In this strange bridging of political gaps. Perhaps Mr. noose velt did not get a Republican tc champion the causo and fool thi un.te. That Is not Important. rv,.r. eon be no question that thla Is one Republican proposal which- will be gratefully received at the White House.

A number of grow ers smudged. A minimum temperature of 18 de grees Is predicted for tonight. The wooing of Britannia by a cou ple of well-known diplomatic mas ters like Herr Hitler and Comrade TJtvlnoff la more than another sordid romance. It furnishes the resl ex planation behind several unexplained German events. The British have been mum about It. You can never believe anything from the German press, but the dlplomstle mall Douche arriving here recently Indicated that the way Hit ler handled Sir John Simon was proof enough that the unklssed fuehrer has been studying diplomatic romance on the side. He spoke at length to Sir John on the menace of communism. He re fused to enter any mutual assistance pact to which Moscow was a party. He was willing to limit his navy to one-third of Britain's. But he want ed, among other things, enouch of a sea force to guard the Baltic against the danger of a Russian naval attack. WALLA WALLA, April 3.

Her foreign office hss never liked the bolshevlsts. It realizes Hitler Is try ing to plsy on this dislike of the Russians for his own purposes. The Russians reallre that also. More recently they have played Brit ain's Anthony Eden with oven greater ardor. All soviet traditions were broken when Lltvlnoff significantly proposed a tosst to the king of Eng Isnd. As for Hitler, his technique dis closed again that the real war danger is not where It has always been, on the Franco-German border, but on the other side of Germany. i. r Britannia, she must choose which of two unwelcome suitors she n... rh.nee are It MILK PRICE CUT IN SEATTLE AREA SEATLLE, Wash..

President Roosevelt disclosed the government is studying the question of ending existing trade pacta with Germany, Italy, Denmark and Portu gal. As he proclaimed a new reci procal treaty between Belgium and the United states, the president out lined the foreign trade policy in a letter to Secretary Morgenthau, The presidents letter did not go Into the details of the 'discrimina tion." Economists long have been noting, however, a multiplicity of ! devices to channel trade in the modern world Including tarlffa, ex change controls, quota systems and sanitary restrictions. Germany, trying to Increase Ger man exports, advocated forced bi lateral trade balancing a system whereby goods and services exchanged between two countries would bal ance. The state department, in a statement yesterday, rejected this idea. It held that allotment of for eign exchange. Instead of being used to work toward such bilateral bal ancing. "should be adjusted to the natural flow of trade." Italy controls imports by a highly centralized system. Some officials hold that the limitations discrimi nate against American foreign trade, The president's letter-. warned that unless nations grant "quality of treatment" to the United States they 111 he denied benefit of reciprocal trade pacts now being negotiated with more than a dozen countries.

Grecian Students Howl For Blood of Traitors SOUTHERN PAC.

A. Work, assistant ir rigation engineer, bureau of agricul ture engineering, stationed at the fed eral orchard, Olen Arnsplger, general manager of the Medford and Talent Irrigation districts, and Clinton Smith, water master of thla district. In summarization of the report, It states: "We do not see that the situation Is such as to cause alarm. Appar ently, If water Is carefully used and put to the best advantage, there will be sufficient water to mature all crops In the Rogue River valley In 1935, but we do not believe that alt grow ers realize that the water supply may be somewhat shorter than they an ticipate." The report also recommends that 'cover crops under the Talent east lateral be turned under at a reason ably early date, and that flood waters be applied to any landa under the Medford or Talent districts that re quire It during April and May, so far aa water may be available. A urolonged runoff of any magnl tude from watersheds below the reser voirs "is not expected," the report states. The stream flow from the smaller tributaries of Bear creek, such as Nell, Wagner, Coleman and Grlf- I fen creeks, "will besmall In volume, and short duration," the report states. The summary further states: "Water necessary at -this time of year, to provide a wide margin of safety la not In storage In any of the reservoirs. It Is believed that he amount now In storage, plus that which may reasonably be expected from melting snow now on the watersheds, will be sufficient to carry crops to maturity In all valley Irriga tion districts. Apparently there will not be enough water to allow for maximum crop production secured by means of the frequent Irrigations necessary to keep soli moslture highly available. Unless the situation changes for the better it appears that there will be little opportunity to 'hold over any water In storage reservoirs for the 1B36 season." The compilers state their report Is "subject to change due to unforeseen weather conditions," but sufficient facts are available to make an accu rate survey and they aak horticultur ists to plan their orchard operations accordingly. 4 Unloving Author Worth $200,000 To Divorced Wife CHICAGO.
