WASHINGTON. August 3.-Great
Britain has suggested that the exami-
nation OF neutral ships bound from
ports south of New York to Europe be
transferred from Halifax to Norfolk
Newport News, Va, In order to relieve
the congcsted conditions in the Cana
dian port
The State Department ha. referred
the question to various other depart
ments interested. and will not be able
TO reach a decision until 1t has heard
from them. The Treasury has been
could be carried out there: the Post
Office Department has been asked
about the delivery OF tho mails, and
the Shipping Board about any agree
ments 1t may have entered into as to
neutral shipping.
The British have long been anxious
to relieve the congestion at Halifax
At the time the examination of ship
ping was transferred largely from
British ports to Halifax. IL was stated
mat anotner britiSn port 10 the south,
possibly In the Bahamas. would be Sc
lected for the examination of ships
from Gulf ports. Since Americas en-
trance into the war; however. Hampton
Roads has become the most desirable
port for this southern examination. and
the British feel that its selection
would be of advantage to all parties.
This would. OF course. necessitate the
erection OF considerable American ex-
animation machinery along lines abso-
lutely untricd by this government
Just what would be dono with the mails
is uncertain. as the United States now
has no mails censorship provision, and
as yet very little attempt has been
made to secure one.

tageous position for carrying on res
cue work in very bad weather, won the
admiration Of everybody, especially the
captain of the Pennsylvania.

LET THEM START ON
JOHN D.

- PEAKING of price fixing
efforts by the govern
ment, the report of the
federal trades commission on
the subject of the Standard
oil Company gives 2 clue to
where a start might well be
made. Gasoline is indespen-
sibIe in industry and in modern
warfare. The high price of
gasoline is working a hardship
on millions Of people and the
nest evidence is to the effect
the situation is due to monopo-
8ization of the industry rather
than to any shortage in the
supply.
Price fixing by the govern
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-04-25

ment is going to be a difficult
matter at best. There is dam
ger of hitting the small pro-
ducer, in agricultural lines or
elsewhere, and allowing the
big fellows to escape. The
best way will be to tackle the
oil trust, the sugar trust, the
paper trust and some other big
concerns first. When those
concerns have been restricted
as to price the government may
then turn in good grace and
with good faith to regulation
of prices in lines where there
is no monopolization but where
p genuine scarcity of product
together with speculation has
resulted in soaring prices.

ANOTHER LAFAYETTE

~ NE of the most striking
VI of the minor events of the
war, in the way of senti-
ment and suggestion, is the re-
ported offer of Count Gilbert
de Lafayette, son of the Mar
quis de Lafayette, to join the
American army.
This man is the great-great-
grandson of the young and
cashing French nobleman who
came to America in the early
days of the Revolution and did
so much TO inspire the patriots
OF those days and to insure
material aid from France. 1t
would be the height of appro-.
priateness to see his descend
ant in the United States army,
now that we are going to pay
back some of the inestimable
debt we owe to France for her
help in making US a nation.

DON'T REPEAT THE
BLUNDER

~ HE decision of the SUI
VI preme court in the o. &
c. land grant case should
guide the people of Oregon as
to voting on the Bean bill
when it is up at the special elec-
tion in June.
Says the Portland Journal :
Here is what the supreme court
SAYS Of the railroad ownership in the
grant lands: The interest that the
granting act conferred upon the rail-
road company was $s.5O per acre"
The Bean bill declares that s'the COM
plete and absolute title to the lands
passed to the railroad cOmpaRY.'' and
that there arc no conditions s'upon
which forfeiture OF tine grant could
be predicated.'' And the legislature
passed the Bean bill: What an ass
the legislature made of itself:
Let it be hoped the people
of the state will not blunder
as badly in June.
