La Grande is the east ern Oregon "wonder team." The B. Tordano has tangled with eastern Oregon "wonder teams,'" In the past and In their own backyards. One such was Mil-ton-Freewater and the other The Dalles. Both, to hear the press agent tell it, made Gibraltar look like an anthill.

We cannot all produce the weapons and raw materials so vital to our armed forces. - But there is one front man, woman, and child can serve, and serve for the duration. We can all practice self-denial. We can all sacrifice some of our comforts to the needs of the men in service, and, yes, their comforts.

While we have every reason to be proud of what has been done even optimistic about the ultimate outcome we have no reason to be complacent about the tough road which still lies ahead.

Every rule of common sense and patriotic thought makes that maxim applicable to our conduct in this war. , ' In the name of our wounded and sick, in the name of our dead, and in the name of future generations of Americans, I ask you to plow out this furrow to a successful and victorious end. THE above may, or may not, sound familiar de- recall President Roosevelt's ent War Loan drive. But that is it. And we are request of the local war drive committee, for' it puts the urgency of all subscribing to this war loan at this time and to the limit of their resources, in a few words, and very effectively. So if: you haven t taken this plow now is the time now in plowing out this furrow to a successful and victorious end I There Are Compensations The British White Paper, enumerating for the first time British losses in this war, brings into sharp re lief the activity of Emerson's law of compensation. For-example: 4,500.000 of England's 13.000.000 homes have been damaged by enemy action and over 200,000 entirely destroyed. There have been over 67,000 civilians killed, including over 23,000 women and 7,250 children! MOW try to imagine what the state of mind in this country would be if we had suffered as England has buffered! Instead of that there has loss over here not a home bombed, no damage whatever from war action as far as this tremendous country is concerned. "We the people here throughout the war, in perfect peace and security; and we promise to continue to live that way until the war is over.

Nov. 29 Under- .o4k tha wnrld air conference at Chicago was not as black and Blurry as ano eared in nrint. . As It stood out in typ first they had a good agree ment, the thev did n have' it. Once State Assist ant Secretary Adolph Berle Paul Mallon was hailed as having won a great victory for something call ed "freedom of air," only to find himself a few days later buried under some tons of bristling words as having lost his cause, The British initially were nice co-oDerators. because Russia had refused to enter the hall (after having chosen, and actually sent delegates to Chicago). But before the end the British were accused of .having caused the disagreement on major points by her firmness of auituae, etc., etc., etc. ' ; '" "TODAY this country hai 80 per cent of the world air business. The British want some of it, in fact, they seem to want exactly half of it. Secretly they have prepared four or five very large transport planes. These are yet in an experi mental staee. but big things are expected of them in the way .of improving paying loads and otherwise making, British avia tion commercially equal with us. The straight question at Chi cago was not any of those you heard from the lips of the par ticipants but just this one: ' How are you going to get an agreement for division of world air commerce between Britain and the United States? ' The answer was also supplied there in the practically nega tive results. TPO delve deeper Into the forces at play backstage, American Airlines , were rather strongly behind the Berle position ofr freedom of air, while Pan-America was against it. Arnerican Airlines has pending before the government an application whereby it may get into the foreign field against Pan-Am through American export lines (decision is still being held up). American s ambition is to be come the central feeder from all sections of this country , for transoceanic traffic, and : any thing which will upset ' Pan Am's exclusive hold on our for- elgn'buslness is agreeable to her. On the other side of the ques tion Pan-Am says it will throw its holdings into a pot with the other American air companies, railroads and steamship lines to form one big monopoly for post war. It does not want to hand over half its business to the British, and, therefore, would strongly oppose the ' British proposal at Chicago where quotas would be established for each country by an international air board to split up future air traffic. To them It sounds like suicide for us to sit down now on the cemmercial air system we have built up through government subsidies and long experience, and wait for the British to catch up with us. FORMERLY we needed routes. had them, while urn hnrl the planes and efficiency. The Brit ish controlled three continents, Europe, Africa and Asia. The war opened all three to us. Bases are no longer so Important to us. Freedom of the air would not bring us so much now as formerly.

C, Nov. 29 (Special Correspondence) Back in session again, the congress is proceeding with its work just as if - nothing had happened. But quite definitely, considerable happened on the seventh. It is no secret that Republican members felt rather confident that the ma jority of the house next term would be Republican. At elec tion time the score stood 214 Democrats to 212 Republicans. The clerk of the house says that, as of this morning (Saturday), the score for the new congress stands: Democrats 242, Repub licans 190, Progressive one, American-Labor one and one still in doubt. I doubt that the score in high enough on the New Deal side to warrant call ing the new congress a rubber stamp congress, but there is no slightest doubt that the admin istration will have majority enough in the house and senate to carry most controversial leg islation. It Is too soon to get any ac curate idea as to the course of legislation for the coming two year term. My guess is, how ever, that there will be no seri ous controversy on legislation involving major foreign policy matters. The battles in the new congress will occur mostly over proposals that would tend to take us toward a centralized socialistic type of government. , IF I may make a personal comment at this point, I wish to express my thanks to the vot ers of the district for the fine majority given me in the elec tion. I hope that the service ren dered during these next two years will . justify the faith placed In me. These are serious times In the history of our re public, and 1 am well aware of the responsibilities borne by every, member of the congress. EARLY this week the cron insurance bill passed the house by an overwhelming majority Wnly 18 negative votes). Last spring the house rejected a crop Insurance bill. There were sev eral valid objections to the pre vious proposal. All of them were removed in the new biU. Prin cipal difficulty with the former proposal was that too much of the risk was actually borne by the government to the extent that the plan cost many millions of dollars from the public treas ury. The bill recently passed limits the government liability and practically places the plan on a sound insurance basis. As I see it, this plan does not put government ' in the insurance business nor does it establish any precedent along that line It simply does a job for the pro tection of farm production that Is too big and provides a type of insurance subject to shocks that are too heavy to be under-1 PA'Holm Nagengy taken by privately owned com panies. a THE senate now has the flood control bill (H. R. 4485) under consideration. The senate com merce committee, before it re ported the b 1 11 to' the senate floor, inserted an amendment (known as the Bailey amend ment) which would restrict the authority of the secretary of the interior to build transmission lines for the sale of power from flood control dams. The commit tee amendment would have com pelled the sale of power at the dams unless 90 percent of the available power - remained un sold within three years after the completion of the dams. Then, arfd only then, said the amendment, could transmission lines be built by the govern ment. The senate defeated the amendment by a vote of 42 to 27. But the senate approved an amendment authorizing the sec retary of the interior to con struct and acquire only.su ch transmission lines and related facilities as might be necessary to make publicly-developed power available in wholesale quantities to distribution sys tems, regardless of the owner ship of such distribution sys tems. ' THE house is still debating the postwar highway bill. Many members are dissatisfied with the large sums allocated to cities, but it is probably neces sary to keep this part of the bill In order to get the remain der of It approved. Highway and market and access road work is a needed and worthwhile post war undertaking.
