Washington, D. C. News Bureau of
the Nyssa Gate City Journal
WASHINGTON, D. C.—A few
days ago the department of state
handed a form letter to representa­
tives of 11 foreign nations remind­
ing them that payments on their
war debts to the United States were
due December 15. It has become a
routine matter since 1931 when Her­
bert Hoover, with consent of con­
gress, declared a moratorium. As a
bill collector Uncle Sam is a failure.
Today the war debts total $14,500,-
000,000, which if paid and distribut­
ed, would give every man, woman
and child in the Pacific Northwest
$ 110 .
The allies, for whom the admin­
istration passed the un-heutrality
a c t , owe 9,680 . m i l l i o n dollars
(Great Britain 5,5 billion; France
4,180 billion), and instead of mak­
ing even token payments they spent
the money they owe the United
States in building the wall of steel
on the French-German border and
in warships. Until the new war, they
referred to Uncle Sam as “Uncle
Shylock” for expecting to be repaid.
Italy owes two billion; Germany
1.260 billion. Other debts: Belgium
453 million; Russia 395 million;
Poland and Czechoslovakia each 26
million; Greece 34 million; Finland
8.23 million; Hungary 2.4 million.
It should be remembered that
these are the debts after the original
amounts were scaled down and bil­
lions written off. The 14.5 billion
dollars are being carried by the
American taxpayers; every cent
came out of their pockets.
Next month there will be many
speeches in congress demanding
that the war debts be collected.
Did Someone Say “Cheap”
Electricity?
Political subdivisions in the TVA
territory, hard up for enough money
to operate since the federal govern­
ment took over tax-paying private
utilities, may be given relief through
a plan now being considered by
members of congress. The plan,
simply, is to impose an excise tax
on every customer buying power
from TVA, possibly a tax on the
meter or a tax levy based on the
amount of electricity consumed by
the customer monthly.
Whatever the plan, it should be
of interest to Oregon and Washing­
ton where public utility districts are
being organized to receive power
from Bonneville, and these districts
may reduce tax revenue from pres­
ent sources. Representative May,
Kentucky, chairman of the house
military affairs committee, is work­
ing on the TVA tax idea.
Anxious Over Jap Trade
The Pacific Northwest is watching
with keen anxiety the progress of
negotiations preliminary to the
drafting of a new trade treaty with
Japan, the completion of which
would assure an abundance of new
business for Pacific coast states and
added prosperity to all American
industry. Development of Manchu-
kuoa by Japanese capital, which has
been in progress for several years,
will further widen the market for
products from the United States.
Senators Borah of Idaho and Van-
denburg of Michigan recently stated
that every effort should be made to
bring about a new fair and reason­
able trade treaty between the Unit­
ed states and Japan. Senator Borah
is the senior Republican member of
the senate foreign relations commit­
tee.
G overnm ent Paym ents
For the first 10 months of this
year government payments to Wash­
ington farmers totaled $6,521,000;
for Oregon farmers $4,964,000. Total
farm receipts including government
payments for the same period were:
Washington. $109,358,000. Oregon
$71,909,000. While these figures are
an improvement over 1938. they fall

The Associated Chambers of Com­
merce, meeting in their bi-monthly
meeting at New Plymouth Monday,
went on record as favoring an in­
crease in the acreage allotted
American farmers for the growing
of sugar beets.
A resolution to this affect was
in troduced by Frank T. Morgan,
president of the Western Beet
Growers Association and secretary
of the Nyssa Chamber of Commerce.
The resolution recites the fact
that the continental sugar process­
ors and growers are allowed only
about 30 per cent of the domestic
market while the U. S. lnsulad pos­
sessions are given, a quota of 41.5
per cent and Cuba is given the
same quota as the continental pro­
cessors have.
That the present system, sponsor­
ed and advocated by the U. S. De­
partment of Agriculture and the
Sugar Section of that department
tends to lowed the American stand­
ard of living, is shown in the fol­
lowing language, contained in the
resolution: “ • • * the import quotas
of raw sugar set at the present time
have brought the farmers, the work­
ers in the sugar factories and the
laborers in the beet field in direct
competition with the poorly paid
labor in the sugar producing terri­
tories outside of cnotinental United
States; such competition has the
direct result of lowering the stand­
ard of living of these farmers and
laborers to a level incompatible with
the American way of life * * ”
In actual acreage allotment for
the Nyssa factory district, the As­
sociated Chambers felt that it
should be doubled, bringing the to­
tal acreage to around 34,000 acres.
The address of the evening was
delivered by Walter E. Schmid,
chairman of the Board of the Farm­
ers Co-Operative Creamery Co., the
subject being “The Livestock In ­
dustry". Ray G. Larson, district
manager of the Amalgamated Sugar
company, also gave a talk. D. E.
Warren, county agricultural agent,
presented 4-H club winners from
Payette county.
Those attending from Nyssa were
Bernard Frost, Frank Morgan,
Geoge Mitchell and Ray Larson.
The next meeting will be held in
Ontario, February 19.

ROSEBURG MAN ON
FORESTRY BOARD
SALEM—There will be only one
new face at the council table when
the state forestry board meets here
sometime the latter part of this
month to elect a new state forester.
In announcing appointment of
the new board members to fill the
vacancies occurring by reason of the
expiration of all of the old appoint­
ments on December 7, Governor
Sprague returned six of the seven
appointive members to the board.
Only Matt C. Glover of Eagle Creek
representative of the State Grange,
was omitted. In his place the gover­
nor named Fred A. Ooff of Rose-
burg. Glover’s ommission, it is un­
derstood, was at the instance of the
Grange leaders rather than any de­
sire on the part of the governor to
side-track him. Glover, so the ru­
mor goes, has incurred the displeas­
ure of Messrs. Gill, Tompkins, et al,
of the Grange leadership, and when
the Orange submitted Its list of ac­
ceptable representatives on the for­
estry board, his name was not In­
cluded.
Speculation still continues around
the capitol as to Ferguson's possible
successor as head of. the forestry
department, with no one apparently
having the slightest clue as to who
the board s sub-committee might be
considering for this important post.

RULES GIVEN ON
CHRISTMAS MAIL
Postmaster S. D. Goshert has ¡S'
sued his yearly warning that to in'
sure early delivery of their pack­
ages, all persons should mail them
early. The post master has given a
few simple rules to insure parcels
getting through safely.
In mailing Christmas cards do
not use red, green or other dark
colored envelopes, nor too small a
one. Write in ink plainly the com­
plete address, house number, street,
or rural route and box number with
city or town and state.
Have all mail weighed and make
sure that the full postage is pre­
paid. Have return address on all
packages and letters.
Fragile or perishable m a t t e r
should be plainly marked as such,
some articles require special wrap­
ping to insure their safe delivery.
Articles of more than a hundred
inches in length and girth or that
exceed 70 pounds in weight cannot
be sent parcel post.
The safest plan is to Insure all
packages and valuable matter as
money. Jewels and other similar
matter should be sent as sealed first
class registered matter.
Those wishing to send packages to
foreign countries should obtain the
special wrapping and mailing in­
structions at the post office.
