Redfeld Has Plan to Bar
Unfair Foreign Competition

WASHINGTON, Dec. I7.--In hts
annual report, made public today.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
deals at some length on the problem
Of foreign competition following the
war and outlines plans for curbing
unfair competition by use of the fed
eral trades commission
The following is from the report
Foreign Unfair Competition.
Unfair competition" is forbidden
by law in domestic trade. and the
Federal Trade Commission exists to
determine the facts and take steps to
abate the evil wherever found. The
door however, is still open to "un-
fair competition" from abroad which
may seriously affect American indus
tries for the worse. 1t is not normal
competition of which / speak, but
abnormal It is destructive type of
the industrial struggle, intended to
put out OF being the forces opposed
to 1t that the victor may exploit the
field at will. The methods used are
not those of legitimate commerce, but
those of commercial offense. They
aim not at development. but at con-
quest. When the war shall close the
public control OF railways in foreign
lands, the semi-offlclal chambers OF
commerce, the publicly fostered or
ganlzations which control great in
dustrles in some countries will all ex-
lst and will all be used in an effort to
recover lost commerce. the growth

semi-public forces acting together in
foreign countries can prevent il. The
outreach of American industries, nay
their very existence in our own land
in some cases, will be resisted to the
full and every strategem of industrial
war will be exerted against them. Ex-
pecting this, we must prepare for It.
If it shall pass beyond fair competi-
tion and exert to seek or exert

our commerce. We ought to prevent It
So few would question the duty cf

power the unfair foreign competition

may be said not to be whether we
shall be prevented, while welcoming,
indeed promoting, that normal ebb
and flow of legitimate commerce be-
tween our land and all others which
will provide our people the security
against exaction which is insured by
reasonable competition In my iudg-
ment the matter is one which may
more wisely be treated as an attempt
ed wrong to be forbidden than as an
economic matter which needs to be
restrained. / should prefer, therefore
to deal with It by a method other
than tariffs, chasing II rather as an
offense similar to the unfair domes.

AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WILL IN
CREASE SPRING GRASS
AND WATER.

Stockmen of Umatilla county are
not lamenting the present SHOWS. In
fact they are right glad to see old
Mother Goose pick her geese, despite
the fact that it will increase their
feeding With no frost in the ground
a great part of the moisture thus
precipitated will go into the greund
to increase the spring grass and also
prevent a summer water shortage.
There are no sheep left in the
mountains to suffer from the storm
as the early SHOWS drove all of the
bands out Most of the sheepmen
have been feeding some dry feed for
some time on their winter ranges
and the present snow will not pre-
vent the sheep from doing a little
foraging, according to one sheep
man.
The weather ever since Nov. IL
has been fine from the sheepman's
standpoint. much better than last
year. According to D. P, Smythe,
there is more moisture in the ground
now than during the whole of last
winter, He anticipates that the sheep
will have fine grass for grazing as
soon as the winter is over.
The farmers are weil satisfied with
the snow, also, as it will mean mora
moisture, the fall having come on
unfrozen ground The farmers Of the
county who rely upon irrigation are
also pleased. The absence of frcst
