MILITARY ROADS URGED

Oregonian News Bureau,
Washington, April 24-(Special)
Chamberlain today
expressed his hearty approval of
the proposal to build hard-sur-
faced modern roads in Oregon
paralleling the Pacific Coast. He
declared that such road,
through all the Pacific Coast
states would be of the greatest
military importance.
while not familiar with the
details of the Oregon road plan,"
said Senator Chamberlain, "as
l understand it, that plan will
provide roads which, from a mil
itary standpoint, are most nees-
sary. But, as a matter offact,
we should have such roads par
allelling the coast line from Can
ada to Mexico. First-class hard
surfaced roads would afford
ready facility for transporting
both troops and supplies up and
down the Pacific Coast in the
event of military activity on
that Coast and would greatly
augment the railroad.
Roads such as these wouic
have the highest strategic value
and ought to be built, but | dc
not believe the Federal Govern.
ment at this time has the money
to build them"
Six years ago the people O.
California voted $1S,000,00t
bonds for good roads. The meas
ure received only a small major
ity. Last November they votet
an additional $15,00O,00O O
bonds for further road work
The vote at the second election
was to 1 for the bonds. Their
is a reason. Road contructiol
in California has yielded salts
factory dividends to the peopl
of that State.
