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

the senate rejected the court pro

agreed It was no time for Mr. Roose

It was filed away In the archives
temporarily.

WASHINGTON, April 3 (API To
its policy of attempting to revive
foreign trade by a series of give-and-take
treaties with other countries,
the United States had added today
an open warning It will hit back at
nations which discriminate against
American goods.
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,

irrigation prospects ior tuao in mis
valley are covered In a Joint report
compiled by R. 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.
