It was all in good fun, yet we think we detected an undercurrent of resentment among the Mexican caballeros and can't blame them. . But as we sat there observing the International scene, we fell to wondering, how the Mexican war lasted as long as It did. Half a dozen of those U. S. lads, full of have, cleared the floor packed full of the local chocolate-colored gentry or so It seemed to your correspondent. It was not their physical superiority -entirely. It was their spirit their go-getting attitude, their aggressiveness.

Letter From Washington .7 i ' By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member oi Congress From Oregon THE PRESIDENT REPORTS. The report to congress on the Yalta conference made by Pres ident Roosevelt was .not sensa tional, nor was it even very new,. so. far .as the text ot the speech Is concerned. Most of what he said has previously been published in one way or another. sat there In utter amazement, however, as I watched and heard completely different man from the President Roosevelt we have seen and heard before on simi lar occasions. , . . . Instead of standing in the usnal place on the dais 'In front of the speakers chair, president Roosevelt was wheeled Into the well of the house, and-sat In his wheelchair, speaking into microphones arranged on a low table. Instead of his usual lord ly manner, he was humble. In stead of speaking with his head high,' tossing it frequently In a somewhat arrogant gesture, he frequently lowered his bead while speaking, at the same time dropping his voice so that had some difficulty in hearing all he said, even though I was seated toward the middle of the house. Instead of following his manuscript strictly, be ad libbed frequently, sometimes losing his place in the manuscript, making it necessary for him to pause and review the written words before continuing. The last time I saw the presi dent and heard him speak was on Inauguration day. There was tenseness about him then, and be seemed to be Irritable. Seat ed in the well ot the house to make his report on Yalta, he was relaxed and; Jovial. Members' ot ' congress vary sharply In their opinions as to the nature of the change in the president s attitude and speak ing technique, and the reasons for it. Some thought he was tired; some thought he was put ting on a splendid act; and some were of the opinion that the enormous responsibilities of the conference in which he has just participated had "mellowed1 him. So far as I am concerned, the reasons for the change are unimportant. What is important is that his new attitude unques tionably will have a definite bearing on the course of events, not only in our own country but in the cause ot world peace. In this constitutional govern ment, the congress, and particu larly the senate, must work shoulder to shoulder with the executive in the perfecting of satisfactory international agree ments. The president has now come to congress In a friendly and cooperative way, fully re cognizing the joint responsibili ty shared with him by the con gress. It seems to me we have every reason to believe that, first, the president will continue In this spirit, and secondly, that the results of such' cooperation will be good. . , . GI BILL. It Is generally re cognized that the veterans law, commonly known as the "GI Law," will have to be amended and perfected as time goes on It is seldom possible In writing a complicated piece of leglsla tlon to achieve perfection. The GI -law is no exception. . .'"'Wbloonwo I r"' Worrirnk. .r,. inis ;--prln8!

Crum call ed my attention to the fact that the time limit provision under which a veteran must file an application for a loan Is so word ed that some veterans will have less time than others in which to take advantage of this bene ficial legislation. - - I have lust introduced a bill which. If passed, will remedy this situation by giving all vet erans ten years from the date of their discharge from service in which to file their application for a loan. Not only will the passage of this bill remedy an injustice in the act, but in my opinion, an additional period of time will permit veterans to make pur chases of property in a more stabilized market. I feel that values may not be - stabilized within as short a period as five years. The loan provision Is not gift to the veterans, nor are the loans made by tha govern ment. They are merely partially guaranteed by the government. and most, If not all of them. will be repaid. Hence, it seems to me entirely fair and reason able that a veteran should nave ample time after he is discharg ed In which to get settled and make his plans for the use of this loan feature. Otherwise, he might rush into a purchase of property which he might later regret, FOREST RESEARCH. I am devoting a considerable amount Of time and energy in an effort to Impress upon members of congress the Importance of for est products research. Apparent ly few people realize that mil lions of jobs and a vast Increase In our national wealth can be and should be created from that portion of our forest asset that is not now being used. I refer to slabs, sawdust, edgings, trim mings, and logs and tops that are left In the woods. These things are now being burned or left to rot, and yet all of this material, now considered waste Is wood fibre from which can be manufactured alcohol, plastics, acios and several other products. Research will develop tech nlques and processes for usine this waste material. Great strides have already been made, but there Is still much to be done. I am hopeful thatsa sizable ap propriation will be made In a forthcoming appropriation bill for the expansion of work at the Madison Laboratory, and for the adequate support of regional wood utilization units, one of which is located in Portland.
