Uncle Sam is getting ready III
businesslike manner for what
ever the future may have in
store. He is taking inventory
of his resources, human and
otherwise. 1t is the efficient
way to do.
If the war should be pro-
longed and it be necessary for
the United States to place a
large number of men in the
field the registration will IN
doubtedly be extended to in
clude men up to 10 or as years
of age. But under the compul-
sorry service law a square deal
is guaranteed for all. There
can be no stacking and it is
needless for men to be over
jealous in offering their servi-
ceS if they have real obliga-
tons at home. When Uncle
Sam needs you he will let you
know.
Tomorrow it is your duty, a
compulsory one. to register If
YOU are between the ages of 81
and 81. No man is exempt
this registration, be he
married or single, native or
alien, white, black or yellow.
The punishment for failure to
register is a Jail sentence, no
fine being allowed. There IS
but one thing for a sane man
to do and that consists in com
pliance with the law. The OBJ
of the law should be
cheerful because it is a just law
and looks to national protec-
ion.

ONE AT TIME Is PRE-
A

~ ORTLAND people have
ID had an illustration of the
results to be obtained
when city and state elections
are held simultaneously. Inn
portant state issues are upon
the ballot yet Portlanders have
by the nature of the things
been obliged to give chief in
terest to the city election.
During the closing days of the
election the metropolitan press
neglected state issues, devoting
their chief. energies to support
of respective candidates for
mayor.
One thing at a time is a safe
rule in private business and
the principle applies to public
affairs also. Voters cannot be
expected to manifest their
best judgment when too much
is asked of them at one time.
If the measure providing for
combining elections should
carry we are going to face
much confusion in the future.

to that time citizens of the Uni

l$11, 0OO. 900 to the work of the
Commission for Relief in Bel
Igium-a work which had cost
about $3.50, 900, 900. Incident
ally some 5000, 900, 900 of that
sum had been spent in the Uni

been realized by Americans on

four times as much money as
America had given to the COM

Today there is a new ar

money spent to save the next

northern France, but in future
we ourselves shall be sharing
the burden as we'll as the cred

US and our allies the enslaved
people under that flag would
be starving. For Germany
long since deprived them of
all means of support, including
not their gold and securities
but their machinery,
their farm implements, the

SUGAR FAMINE UABR0KEN.
SHORTAGE DUE TO MOVEMENT
OF SUGAR FROM AMERICA
TO EUROPE.
Hoover Declares Without Price Fix
ing by Agreement Sugar Would bc
Selling for 25 Cents Pound.

Washington, Dec. 25.--Food Admin
strator Hoover's statement on the
sugar situation. which he tried un-
successfully to get before the senate
committee investigating the sugar
shortage. was made public tonight by
the White House. 1t attributes the
shortage there to the heavy move
ment OF sugar from the Western
Hemisphere TO Europe, and asserts
that without the fixing of prices by
agreement sugar would have been
selling for twenty-five or thirty cents
a pound, and more than two hundred
million dollars probably would have
hcen profiteered from the American
people by this time.
The statement contains the food ad
ministrator's reply to charges made
before the committee by Claus
Spreckels. president Of the Federal
Refining Company. that the sugar
situation was mismanaged and sets
forth in detail the administration s
efforts to keep sugar prices down,
while supplying large quantities to the
allies.
The committee, Of which Senator
Reed is chairman, not only had re-
fused to make the statement q part
Of the Congressional Record, but has
declined thus far to permit Mr..
Hoover to take the stand to answer
MIR. Spreckels' charges.
When the hearing is resumed Fri
day. however. 1t is understood Mr..
Hoover will be permitted to- tell his
story.
AT the outset the statement presents
the world situation as It existed prior
to the European war. The allies then
produced much Of their own supplies
and purchased the remainder from
Germany Before the war they took
only 100000 tons annually from the
Western Hemisphere. This year they
have taken 100000 tons.
That" says the food administra-
tor. lis the cause of the sugar short
age. and nothing else"
The statement says the food admin
istration has handled the situation
with view to sustaining the morale
