SabaertpUaaa Favabla la Advaaca Suitability of Site rlSAPPOIN'TMENT in Oregon at the recent decision ' of the big Reynolds Metal company to locate at Long- view, Wash., rather than at Cascade Locks or elsewhere in Oregon, has been offset to some extent by the announce ment that the Electro-Metallurgical Sales corporation will construct a large plant near Portland. The Reynolds Metal company's decision was apparent ly based strictly on the suitability of site, and not a lot of other factors which Oregonians have "guessed" must have caused it The Longview Daily News, taking note of the speculation in Oregon, editorially quoted the head of the Reynolds company that it was sheer superiority of site that gave Longview the plant. Mayor Riley of Portland confirms that report on the basis of his part in the nego tiations to induce the company to go to the Portland area. The Portland mayor states further, in a letter to the Oregon Journal, that the Electro-Metallurgical company's decision to build near Portland came as a result of the discovery of a site there that better suited its requirements than proposed locations elsewhere in the lower Columbia country. This company, incidentally, win make consider able use of certain mineral prodqets found in Oregon, and its location on this side of the Columbia river will reduce freight rates and enhance the possibility that Oregon will be able to sell these products to the big company. Ray C. Threasher, field geologist of the state department of geol ogy and mineral industry, on a visit here this week, called attention to this important development as it affects southern Oregon minerals. Development of Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams made the subject of industrial development in the north west one of intense interest, and the great national defense program has brought a spurt along this line that will put northwest industry far ahead of expected schedules. Ore gon, we feel sure, will get its deserved share. The Vital Factor SO SERIOUS is the outlook for Britain that certainly no one can question the proposition that if Britain suc ceeds in defeating Hitler, it will be because of the aid of the United States. The president of the United States, who certainly has access to lniormation not available to most of us, is evi dently convinced Britain cannot win without our assist ance. He has led the determined movement to align us definitely on the side of the British, on the theory that a British defeat would be such a terrific economic and political blow to this country that it would either ruin the "American Way of Life" or lead us directly into a diffi cult war to defend ourselves. That is the basis of the vast military and industrial enterprises now gathering speed in this country. The next few months should tell us whether it has come too late, as the dictators say, to do the British any good. The totalitarian leadership knows of the terrific potentialities of the United States as England's active, determined friend. It cannot wait for those potentialities to develop into realities without at least an attempt to strike ahead of the full effectiveness of American aid. Some Important Pieces of Defense Equipment From Other Editors News Beh thlyN: By PaulMllon INB1 CITY BRIEFS Called to Portland Rev. and Mrs. C. Robert Lambert and daughter, Barbara, of 228 North Eighth street left Monday morning for Portland where they were called by the death of Mrs. Lambert's sister. They were accompanied north by Mrs. George A. Seely of Pleas ant view tracts and by Melvin Frost, also of 228 North Eighth. They expect to return home the middle of the week.

Br PAUL MALLON WfAShlNGTON, March 24 Laughlin Currie's Chinese report went into Mr. Roosevelt's ears unreported, but these fol lowing highlights of it are for yours: . China has both the ability and the will to hold out against the Japanese. Her chances of winning are excellent The dis sension in the Chinese ranks caused by communists is not likely to prove fatal. Russia is sending in many times as much aid as the United States. Stalin obviously intends to keep the Japs as busy as possible in China, so Tokyo will have neither the time nor inclination to push the whole far eastern communist issue to a showdown. . . . Up-to-date factories for small arms are numerous in China. Skilled workers are avail able These were largely trained by the German army officers and technicians, sent in a few years ago by Hitler who then was working against the Japs. . What China needs from us is a large supply of raw ma terials. With these she can keep going. Therefore the recent $100,000,000 loan must be fol lowed up with further credits . . . Wang Ching Wei, the Jap puppet ruler of occupied China, is hardly proving worth his weight to the Japanese. Mr Currie found the Chinese unwill ing to accept Wang's money. He tried to tip a bellboy in his hotel with Wang currency. The tip was not only declined but Mr. Currie learned some new Chinese cusswords, all descrip tive of Wang . . . This Currie report will no doubt furnish the guide for development of Mr. Roosevelt's policy in the far east. SCOOPS Note incidentally, the usual ly accurate Time magazine says in its current (March 24) issue: "not a hint of Currie's conclu sions reached the press." The lead on this column March 9. day before Mr. Currie's Wash ington arrival, said: "bigger aid to China is coming x x x From (Currie's) cabled reports that have come back to the state de partment, it is apparent he will recommend further substantial advances." Time is not keeping 1 l.iniin fharrfm up with the news. " Again incidentally, this! Robert Lee Miller Is out on column announced Marcn 19 the i bond after his arrest on a private citizen.

Rheumatism "Cures" SUDerstltinn nni-a nn.aj.rit,..'! Henry Morgenthau and Jesse the following as "cures" for Jones have been having it again backstage, this time over details of lending and leasing. Appar ently the treasury secretary be lieves some of the mitigating promises made before the bill was passed, should be kept, for a while at least. His men have been working to have the British liquidate what assets they can in this country to pay for thcir pre-Iend-lcase orders. (They pushed for the British sale of American viscose.) The treasury does not want the new 17,000. 000,000 appropriation used to pay off old orders. To an outsider who hears only what he is told, it appears Mr Jones would like to have the British put up their American companies and American sec urities with his RFC, as collater al for loans. Then, If the British failed to pay, such concerns as American viscose would wind up in the RFC, which is the official clutch of Mr. Jones. It seems likely Mr. Morgen thau will win on all counts. His agents, Messrs. Young and Bulkley, are handling the inner arrangements for the overall policy committee (Hopkins, Stimson, Knox and Morgenthau) and they are not likely to ar range things to suit Mr. Jones.

Some years ago Tulelake po tato growers held a series of conferences on the subject of or ganized advertising, advancing far enough in their plans to name an assessment of $1.00 per car to be applied to an adver tising fund. Figuring from a conservative estimate of 9000 carloads of po tatoes grown In the Tulelake basin each season, which would be In a lower than average year, a two and a half million dollar crop, $9000 would not seem an exhorbitant amount to venture In telling the world about the potatoes that we grow here, end systematically building up our market. The Colorado Potato Growers exchange of Denver, established In 1923, composed of 1SO0 grow ers, marketed a 1 9 4 0- potato crop of $7,301,000 in the mid west, southwest and gulf status. Their containers were trade- marked 10 and 14 pound potato bags. Fifteen thousand growers and approximately 200 shippers, sub scribing to the Idaho Advertis ing commission In Boise. Idaho. disposed of a $12,000,000 crop of potatoes by the 1939 estimate. They currently advertise to trade and consumer through Botsford, Constantine and Gard ner. Portland, which Is associ ated on this account with Cllne Advertising Service, Boise. Their first experience was In 1937. when they spent $125,000 in advertising, and this amount has been reduced through suc ceeding years to $60,000 in 1940 and 1941. Their advertising dol lars are divided among dealer service, display material and 26 per cent miscellaneous, for recipe folders, cooking schools, etc. i Maine potato growers work under a "Maine Development commission" established In 1936. Growers' receipts In 1939-40 were reported at $19,403,080; the appropriation for the com-: mission that season being $48.-, 000. In 1940. 1941. $100,000 was appropriated. Their scope of dls-' tribution embraces the entire United States, and they cur- j rently advertise through Brooke, French & Dorrance, New York.
