Chairman of the board of trustees

th assistant secretary of state. Mr.
Hull, through Mr. Moore, controlled
the board of which Mr. Peek was
suppose to be president. They have
exercised that control In all details
to see that Mr. Peek did little except
to write critical reports and make
forlorn speeches. They performed all

themselves.
At the bank offices, wherever you
turned for information concerning
Mr. Peek's expected resignation at the
time It was known to be pending,
the wise clerks directed you to see
"Moore" not Mr. Moore. Just
"Moore." Mr. Peek's press relations
office itself would have nothing to
do with the publication of the final
announcement. It also referred all
Inquiries significantly in the same
direction.
To make the picture complete, the
announcement was not even made by
V Mr. Peek or by the White House, to
which he was suposed to be special
P foreign trade adviser, but by the
'' same department of state.
Those close to Mr. Peek know he
dtd not want to resign. He waa In
terested in a theory of foreign trade.
He had nothing else to do, so he was
bent on staying here in the face of
obviously insurmountable difficul

in China and an overture to Italy

extended by Sir Samuel Hoare. for

empire's warships were withdrawn

Sir Samuel said the situation In
North China might be harmful to
Japan's prestige among other coun
tries unless she quickly clarified her
attitude.
"I can only regard It as unfortu

mons, "that events should have taken
place which, whatever the actual
truth of the matter may be, lend
color to the belief that Japanese In
fluence Is exerted to shape Chinese
Internal political developments and
administrative arrangements.

"Anything which tends to create
this belief can only do harm to the
prestige of Japan and hamper de

On Roosevelt's Regime;
Claim Repeal a Failure
Organized Prohi Sentiment Will Oppose
President's Re-election Is Word
At Anti-Saloon League Meet
By HAL llOYLfl
Associated Press Staff Writer
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 5. (AP) The Anti-Saloon League's drive as
sumed the proportions of an antl-admlnistration movement today as dry
leaders celebrated the second anniversary of repeal by predicting an or
ganized dry sentiment would oppose the re-election of President Roose
velt In 1936.
Two of the league's most powerful
chieftains laid the blame for "the
abject failure of repeal" squarely on
President Roosevelt's shoulders.
Serving of Wine lilt
Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of Los
Angeles, who stumped against Al
Smith In 1928. criticized the serving
of light liquors at the state house
dinners.
"It's a poor example for the first
family td set before the youth of the
land." he observed.
Bishop Cannon, who was named by
the league to head its re-established
national legislative committee in a
"new advance against alcohol," Joined
Dr. F. Scott McBrlde, militant spear
head of the "second dry war." in
saddling the "evils" of repeal upon
the president.
"I definitely will opposo the re
election of Mr. Roosevelt, although I
haven't yet decided whether I shall
actively fight against him," said
Bishop Cannon. He added that "eith
er Senator Vandenburg of Michigan
or Col. Frank Knox of Chicago would
be more acceptable dry candidates If
either should got the Republican
nomination.
Cite Capital Drinking
Speaking Individually, both Bishop
Cannon and Dr. McBrlde deplored the
"quadrupling of drinking places In

Pear Pie Tasting Tests
No Hardship for Pupils
(By Jeunrue Butler)
The popularity of "test periods"
may be questionable, as a rule, but
not the test held at the senior high j
school today, when 30 boys and girls 1
sssembled In one of the claas rooms,
listened to Supt. E. H. Hedrick ex
plain all about Medford first an- j
nual community pear week, thrn to I
Prlncipat C. O. Smith, who explained
the method of the pear pie tattn
teat, for which they were assembled.
It was one exam, which waa heart
ily enjoyed by all, "a good time" un
questionably "being had." There
were six pies, each made from an
entirely different recipe, and the 30
tasters didn't have to be coaxed to ,
enter the test, equipped only with
plate, fork and a glass of "mountain
spring water," one swallow to be
taken after each sampling.
Appetlrlng, no end. were these 1
pies. One was flavored wtth oranse.
Just alifthtly; one seemed to contain
cinnamon or nutmeg, another might
have had a dash of pineapple. (The j
rerips will all be published later) j
Anyway, they had a great time, and
each one of the tasters was given a
special pear recipe book to "take
home to mother.'"
The contest was under supervision
of Miss Maurlne Carroll, head of the
I?ome economics department, and Mrs.
Oertrud Gates snd Mrs. Virginia Walt,
foods teachers. The pie samples were
served by the girls of the home man-
cement Hm. Pear aalsds, pear pud

TEETOTALERS SAY
WASHINGTON, Dec. A. ( AP) The
historic controversy over prohibition
raged again today, the second anni
versary of the repeal of the 18th
amondment.
One side praised repeal as a sue-
cess.
The other, disagreeing sharply,
predicted
comeback for prohlbi-
tton.
While W. H. Stayton, executive di
rector of repeal associates, and oth
ers contended there has been a
marked decline In lawlessness, the
Anti-Saloon League of America began
a "new crusade" for prohibition.
The league convention In St. Louis
demanded abolition of the "use of
Intoxicants at all white House and
public functlo.ia."
In the absence of President Roose
velt, there was no Immediate com
ment here today. It was recalled
that accounts of formal White House
functions have told of the serving of
light American vintage wines. Beer
has been served at some Informal
gatherings.
Friends of President and Mrs.
Roosevelt said they are known almost
as teetotalers, and that they never
drink or serve strong Hquor,
In an Interview, Stayton looked
back over the past year, which saw
14 states Join the ranks of those
which permit legal sale. The number
now stands at 41, as compared with
10 before prohibition.
"In the states where local control
of the traffic has been established,"

HOOD RIVER, Ore., Dec. 6.
John C. Duckwall, fruit exporter and
member of the Hood River Traffic
association, said today that fruit
shippers of the Pacific northwest hare
benefited from reciprocal tariff treat
ies such aa the recent one with Can
ada. While the treaties cannot have ap
proval of all lines of business, he said.
Indirect galna will come to those di
rectly affected adversely.
He pointed out that fruit growers
benefited would be able to spend
more money for other products.
Duckwall said a survey showed
American sales Increased through a
Cuban trade agreement. Increase
ranged from eight to BOO per cent, he
eald. f
Pacific northwest fruit growers
gained materially from the treaty
with Sweden, with large Increase
shown In apple and other fresh and
dried fruit exports.
The Canadian treaty, he said, re
moved restrictions on exported pota
toes and lowered duty on fresh cher
ries, peaches, pears, plums, prune,
strawberries and apples from 30 to
16 per cent. Duty on processed ohet
ry exports was sliced nearly In two,
and one-fifth reduction made on can
ned fruit duty.
Duckwall said the reasonable In
crease in - trade with Canada should
run "into hundreds of millions of
dollars."
We are Informed that a treaty
with France la In prospect," he eon
tlnued. "This Is one of the countries
which has raised quotas against
United States fruit. This action ha
seriously affected our apple and pee
exports the peat three years."
