By PAUL MALL ON
WASHINGTON. July 26. The New
Dealers are worried, about the lira.
As they see It, Mussolini has Insuf
ficient funds to
conduct his
prospective war
In Ethiopia, and
he Is trying to
wring the money
nit of his cur
rency by devalu-
atlon.
The sou ndest
money experts
here are confi
dent that this
move Is only the
first step In a

pect there will be further" devaluation
later.
Incidentally. Mussolini Is using his
gold to buy silver In the world mar
ket. He has become our only com
petitor at the cash silver .counter.
Tou can rest assured that the silver
purchase policy will be continued on
a "reasonable" basis for the present.
The best authority on that subject
says purchases will be continued to
sustain the market and that the ulti
mate price goal of $1.29 an ounce will
be reached probably within a year.
The foremost New Dealers do not
share the enthusiasm of some of the
stiver economists, who think that all
money evils can be cured, that way.
but they are pledged to the policy
and will follow through with It. Off
the record, they admit that politics
required Its adoption, but, as they see
It, the expenditure for silver pur
chases Is a small price to pay to pre
vent Inflation.
The highest authorities now see a
possibility that the silver purchase
fund may develop Into the world's
greatest influence for peace. As they
reason it, our accumulation of gold
and silver may eventually Increase
our financial Influence to such an
extent that we may be able to direct
the world money structure, on which
war is based. At least this Is what
they tell themselves In their groplngs
for valid excuses for the sliver policy.
The best Indication that Mussolini
Is serious about his Ethiopian threat
Is the fact that he has bought rec
ently ten vessels In this country ag
gregating 40.000 tons. Last year he
bought only three, and the year bo
fore he bought none.
Japan also has been buying vessels
here. She purchased fifteen ships
with an aggregate tonnage of 60,000
this past fiscal year, which ended the
first of this month. Last year she
bought nine and the previous year
none.
This Is considered very significant
by our atithoritics.
These sales have all been approved
. by the U. 8. shipping board bureau.
Most of the vessels are over twenty
years old and their purchase by Italy
Is a neat windfall for American ship
owners.

to Save Steelhead and
Salmon From Extinction
ROSEBURG, July 26. (AP) Re
plies thus far received by W. C. Hard
ing, secretary of the Roseburg cham
ber of commerce, to his letters to sec
retaries of other civic bodies in Ore
gon regarding his urge for the closing
of all coastal rivers in Oregon, except
the Columbia, to commercial fishing,
Indicate, without a single exception,
a favorable sentiment, he announced
today.
ROSEBURG. July 26. (Special)
Declaring that salmon and steelhead
In the Umpqua and other coastal
rivers In Oregon, excepting the Co
lumbia, are facing ultimate extermin
ation from "ruthless commercial pir
acy." W. C. Harding, secretary of the
Roseburg chamber of commerce, has
sent letters to the secretaries of other
civic bodies In the state, stressing
what he regards as the necessity for
putting a permanent ban on com
mercial fishing In the streams re
ferred to, after the manner of closure
of the Rogue river.
Closing Proposal Due
Comparing the plentltude of sal
mon and steelhead that he saw In
the Umpqua river hero 27 yoars ago
with the scarcity of such fish at
present, Harding advances the opin
ion that "an overwhelming vote
would be given in favor of the pro
posal" to outlaw commercial fishing
If the people generally knew the cir
cumstances. He Is endeavoring by his
letters to fellow secretaries to arouse
sufficient Interest In the situation to
Insure adequate support for a prob
able futuro move to close the Ump
qua river to commercial fishing.
Harding holds that the larger game
fish should be preserved for future
generations, as well as .for the present
one, and that tourist patronage will
bring to the commercial fishermen of
the coast more revenue than they
now derive from the. dwindling sal
mon and steelhead runs. '

DISCORD THREAT
ATM SESSION
By Clayton V. Bernhard
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
SALEM, July 26. (AP) The
threatened two-fold discord which
Initiated the state session of the Re
publican clubs here today and which
would have thrown the convention
wide open was being smoothed out at
noon today in committee meetings
and caucuses, party leaders declared.
One Issue, that of deciding who
waa eligible to vote, was referred to
tho credentials committee for report1
later todny. The committee Indicated
an agreement which would permit all
Republicans In attendance to vote on
platform questions, but only Repub
lican club members by counties to
cast ballots far officials within the
organ I red clubs.
A motion during the Initial session
today which would permit votes by
counties only, with no county having
less than two votes and tho Urger
counties having as many as repre
sentatives In the state legislature,
was laid on the table. The proposal,
however, waa being considered by the
credentials committee. The- move to
lay tho matter before the committee,
delayed tho cxpectd fight on the floor
and may cllmlnato It entirely.
The second Issue, tho conflict be
tween Multnomah county and up
state representatives, was being con
sidered In the caucus of Multnomah
members, according to Chester A. Mc
carty, one of the leaders of the Port
land group. Lowell Pagctt of Portland
was a candidate for president of the
year-old organization representing
one group, while R. T. Bourns of
Marshfleld was considered a leading
upstate candidate.
The resolutions committee has held
three sessions lost night and today
but no decisions have been reached.

The people are not going to stand
for the drab life that used to be the
farmer's lot. He Is going to have some
of the pleasures or he Is going to
move his family Into town and our
cities are now overcrowded."
On the more practical side, Delano
ssid. "The farmer must earn enough
cash to meet the extra needs of mod
ern life. He works hard and hereto
fore has sold his products for Just
enough to get by. He Is entitled to
money enough to buy things above
the bare necessities."
The resources board chairman ex
pressed considerable Interest In the
proposal to stabilize the flow of the
Willamette river. The project was ex
plained to him by Marshall N. Dana,
district chairman of the national re
sources board, who said the proposal
contemplates storage dams at the

road First Necessity
Operation Will Be Through
Medford Corporation.
Operation of the Owen-Oregon lum
ber mill starting Monday morning
with a repair crew and Increasing
during the ensuing two weeks to em
ployment of 200 men was announced
today by James H. Owen, former man
ager of the Owen-Oregon Lumber Co..
and present manager of the new
Medford corporation.
Owen stated that re -opening of th
mill, which has been closed since lut
August, after a slowing down of op
erations for the past four years, was
authorized by H. P. Ohaney, of Port
land, vice-president of the Medford
corporation, who waa conferring with
Owen In Medford this week. Ts
Medford corporation Is a newly form
ed organization which has replaced
the Owen-Oregon Lumber Co.
"Mr. Chaney authorized me to start
operating at once, so wo are going to
start Monday morning." Owen stated,
today.
Repairs First
The repair crew starting Monday
will go to work putting the railroad
in shape and doing other repairs on
the entire mill. Only former
employes of the company will be
hired, Owen said, and owing to the
fact that many are out of the city.
It' will require several days to get the
full repair crew of 200 organized
"Tho woods crew will start falling
timber Just a soon as they can be
hired and put to work." Owen aald.
"W hope to start falling timber next

this summer as long as weather per
mits, with the hope of Increasing to

Medford corporation plans definitely
to "hit It up" to full capacity.
One of Jackson county's main In
dustrial payrolls will be resumed by
renewed operation of the mill. Owen
stated that due to some extent to
closure of large northern mills, there
Is a good prospective market for
pine.

lowing the purchase of the business
In 1024 from M. D. Olds. The direct
payroll In 1029 waa $800,000, which

Between 66.000,000 and 70,000.000
feet of lumber Is considered a ca
pacity cut for the mill.
