States to continue to feed the allies.
"Next year." he says, "our supplies
will be short 250,000 to 100000 tons
unless the allies go to Java for supplies
This amounts to an economy of about
10 per cent on our part. If the allies
are forced to go to Java it will require
an extra amount of shipping which if
used to transport troops will move I5O,-
GOO or 100000 American soldiers to
France.
"If statements that there will be an
abundance of sugar next year are be
iieved by the American public it will do
this country s war efforts inealculable
harm. The number of troops we can send
across is limited. If we in our greed
and gluttony force the allies either to
reduce their ration or to go to remote
markets after sugar we will have done
tremendous damage to our abilities to
win the war.
Millions Are Saved.
1.-The consumers sugar bill from the
time restraints were imposed until Jan
vary l, will be about $500 geo. Every
cent a pound rise means about $ls,000,-
600. Twenty cent sugar would have
meant about $ls0,O00,000 profiteered
from the American consumer. There was
no other way under the law to prevent
except by voluntary agree
ment, as the food bill carried no power
to fix prices. These agreements have of
necessity been made with the old man.

COAL PRODUCTION
No More Suffering.
Continued from page one)


"Prices are higher this year than
last year." Garfield admitted, ''but
they are more stabilized"
"Do you think you have the situa-
ton well in hand now7" asked Ken
yon.
II can't guarantee that there will
be no more suffering" said Garfield.
He placed much of the blame for
the coal famine on the railroads and
said the recent blizzards have accen-
tuated the rail tie-up. The greatest
coal eongestions, Garfield said, were
at the "bottle neck" points of Pitts
burgh, Cincinnati, Toledo and Albany.
"Coal constitutes one-half of the
freight" he said "and when we in
crease it we increase railroads diff
ficulties. The transportation system
is what it is now, because of our policy
of preserving competition of our rail
roads which cannot easily be put to-
gether.
''It is now as necessary to operate
the railroads as one system as to cen
tralize the people in armies and
navies.'

Germany Must Keep
Armies On Russian Front

Washington, Dec. 26. - Allied OBJ
servers here are convinced that Ger
many will be able to release no more
troops from the Russian border. The
kaiser according to information at
hand from the most reliable sources,
faces this dialemma in the east:
If peace terms are agreed to she
will need huge force to pacify and
organize Russia.
If they fail she will need an equal
lv large or larger force to maintain
the guard she has maintained since
Russia became an inactive belligerent
months ago.
1t is therefore believed that Ger
many's force ON the west front, ap-
154 divisions, represents
her maximum strength. The Russian
situation has accordingly lost interest
for the men at the head of the allied
war machine

1000 Teachers VIII
Attend State Association
Meeting at Portland

Superintendent George A. Briscoe,
president State Teachers Association,
announces that he has secured for the
Portland meeting, December 1929, two
of the most noted lecturers in the
educational world. DIR. Richard Bur-
ton, head of the English department
Of the University of Minnesota, will
deliver two addresses before the gem
eral assembly--one on "The Literature
of the Great War;, and the other on
fThe Social and Educational Signifi-
cance of the Theatre" Doctor Bur
ton is considered one Of the most
eloquent and scholarly educators in
the United States. The second speaker
is Professor Frank M. Leavitt, Of the
University of Chicago. Professor Lea
witt is one of the foremost authorities
in ~the field of industrial education,
and largely responsible for the move
ment which eliminated in the Smith
Hughes Law. His message will be of
particular interest to the teachers of
Oregon, as the Federal Board has Just
approved the plans Of Superintendent
of Public Instruction j. A. Churchill,
chairman Of the State Vocational
Board, for carrying out the provisions
of the Smith-Hughes law. This means
that Oregon viii receive $4,000 this
year from the Federal government for
vocational education.
The first day of the meeting will be
taken up by the session of the repre-
sentative council. There viii be ap-
proximately one hundred delegates
present. Every county in the state and
every local teachers association will
be represented. The council will re-

Washington, Dec. 26.-Many coal op-
orators have taken advantage of war
times and are making much greater
profits now than before the war was

''What have you done in answer to
the many complaints of coal famines2'
inquired Kenyon.

lieve suffering and sending coal where
it is needed most, regardless of where
it is consigned, - the witness said.
Garfield says he was planning to
"swap" operators contracts SO that,
for instance, Illinois mines will sell
much of their coal in the west and not
ship it east, while West Virginia mines
will send their coal closer to their plants
If necessary, Garfield said he would
Cliff the contracts.
"Our present plan," he said, "is to
divide the country into twenty coal dis
tricts and place representative of the
