Nl a mm III ui fP(F WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 3. Re note aa It la from the Siegfried Una. the backwash of war Is already being felt In Oregon and Washington. Jta a consequence of the war there la a possibility perhapa a proba , Wllty of removing the Empire pref ; arentlalft on lumber and once more i make available to the lumber tn I dustry of the Pacific Northwest the i markets of the British empire, al- ? most closed to American exporters : by the Ottawa treaty. i One of the first acta of the Cana. ? dlan government after making Its declaration of war against Herr ail lar was to take control of all Doug las fir In British Columbia. With lower production costs and lower frwlffhfc rates. British Columbia has made deep Inroads on the lumber business of Washington and Ore ; (on. In addition. It has had the i' adge In aupplytng lumber to England ? mud the dominions. ' BECAUSE of the governmental ac- j tion (plus menace of enemy , raft), lumber from British Colum bia is expected to disappear from the South American. Los Angeles and Gulf markets and throw these! consumer markets open to the Pa-. elflo Northwest shippers. This repre-' tents no Inconsequential business. . Believing that the time Is ripe to renew his fight to have the empire preferential removed, and 6lve tne Oregon-Washington Industry a break, Oregon's Charley McNary has re vived the subject with Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The secretary, ex pressing sympathy with the views of the Oregon senator, has referred Mc- "Nary to the swto- department sub ordinate who handles lumber prob lems. Looking to the United States as a aource of supply for war materials. It Is assumed that British officials Jn control of the Ottawa treaty may agree to suspend, amend or modify the treaty as an expression of good will. If this Is done, new life will be Injected Into the lumber export trade from Puget - Sound to Coos Bay. Senator McNary has received Information that lumber Importers ef London are In accord with the Idea of changing the treaty. If necessary, a delegation of lum ber manufacturers and exporters will come to Washington from the west coast to supplement the argu ments of the Oregon senator.

EMBARGO LIFlGilBCTdollChildren- 1L IAN IRE AID LATER, CLAIM Veteran Idaho Senator Says Law Not Intended to Pre vent. War in Europe, But to Prevent Sale of Arms WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. (AP) Senator Borah (R-Idaho) asserted to day that If congress lifted the arms embargo to Europe's warring nations, he did not "see how" the United States could refuse to send armies to help the allies "In their hour of greater need." The veteran Idaho senator took the senate floor to voice the views of the opposition to the administration's neutrality bill to repeal the arms embargo after Senator Plttman (D Nev) had asserted that retention of the present law's embargo was "a dis crimination In favor of Germany." Plttman, chairman of the foreign re lations committee, was the first speaker In the momentous neutrality discussion. Seen Aid to Allies Reading a lengthy prepared address Borah charged the administration bill to revise the neutrality law had been accepted In Europe as an attempt to aid Great Britain and France in their struggle with Nazilsm. Repeal of the embargo, he con tended, would be likely to put this country In the position where It could not deny further help to the democracies. "Can we." he demanded, "under the program we are now adopting and the reasons for adopting the same, stay off the battlefields of Europe with our young men? - , "Having changed our laws and -our ( policies that we may, as openly and repeatedly declared, send there In aid of the allies our arms because of their urgent call, will we, can we, In the hour of greater need, should that hour unfortunately come, refuse to send our armies? "Will We Turn Back?" "Having put our hand to the plow and declared the reason therefor when the furrows are comparatively smooth, will we turn back when we come to the roots and stumps of Im pending defeat? "I do not see how we could. I doubt most seriously If we would. The only way I see that we can stay out of this war, having taken the first steps and the reasons for taking them, Is for the war to end before we get there." Borah departed from his prepared address to say: Borah appeared to tire aa his lengthy speech progressed. At times he leaned on his desk. Near the close, his voice hoarse, the Idaho veteran warned European belligerents not to Infringe on this country's rights. "I am a pacifist," he said. "But If Germany, Great Britain or any other nation attacks this nation, kills Its people, destroys Its property. I am ready to vote for a declaration of war." When Borah sat down a number of senators, including Plttman, came to his desk to shake his hand. Then the senate recessed until tomorrow "This law was not intended to pre vent war In Europe. It was to pre vent the sale of arms and ammunl (Continued on Page Two.) 4 LONDON. Ky., Oct. 2. (API- Judge H.

T WASHINGTON. Oct. 2. (AP) The United States refused today to recog nize the disappearance of Poland which Secretary Hull termed "the victim of force used as an Instru ment of national policy."
