Food Director Makes Positive Deela-
ration That No Western Primary

Dispatches to Portland from Wash
ington last Tuesday stated that Food
Administrator Hoover has advised Sen
ator Charles McNary Of Oregon that
the administration will not grant the
request of northwestern grain men for
a primary market in Portland or Sc
attic.
Northwestern grain men recently
asked the government to establish a
northwestern primary market, because
they estimated they would Lose money
If they granted the governments re-
quest and sold wheat at Chicoga
prices. To sell at Chicago prices it
was claimed, meant freight had to be
paid to Chicago. whether the wheat
was shipped there or not.
Mr.. Hoover asserted that if Portland
was made a primary market northwest
wheat would flow there instead of TO
Chicago and then would have to be
shipped back to the Mississippi valley,
thus accommodating a 60-cent d%iferen-
tial in freight rates.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY Modified.

william II. Nichols. chairman Of the
committee on chemicals Of the council
OF national defense, speaking at the
opening OF the American Chemical so
ciety convention, Tuesday, declared
the chemical industry OF the United
States was modified to meet any
problems regarding war needs and the
supply Of the nation. He said chemi-
cal engineers and Industrial chemists
had developed new products and sub
stitutes for the many acids and dye
stuifs formerly received in bulk from
Germany.
The greatest known deposit Of potash
in the world, he said. Is located in
Searles lake, southern California, and
contains $4,000 acres Of the richest
known product, the immediate use OF
which. he added, depends upon an APP
peal which has been made by the
chemical committee.

added a thrilling chapter to American
engineering records.
Secretary Baker a y the motor ia

For obvious reasons specifications of

Baker says:
Progress has already been made

FREIGN LANGUAGE PAPERS
MUST PRINT TRANSACTIONS
Senate Passess Bill Requiring That
TranslatiOns of Articles Criticizing
Government Must Be Printed in
Same Issue.

The senate Wednesday declared that
any German language newspaper pub
fishing criticisms of governmental pol
icies must print parallel translations
in English. This proposed law was
accepted as an amendment to the
trading with the enemy" bill which
the senate passed in the afternoon and
which already had passed the house.
The change in the bill must be submit
ted to the house before the bill goes to
the president.
1t was at the instance of Sehatog
King of Utah that the amendment was
inserted. He has had it in the form
of a separate bill before the senate for
ONE time.
The American people are dissatis-
fled with vipers in our midst" Senator
King said. The German press
all of it though-has done all
that it could to misrepresent the atti-
tude of the country and to make the
war unpopular. 1t has tried to stir up
sedition and strife and to aid Germany
and these attempts should be suppress
sed.
Il am not in favor of a bill that
"CNAu PASNShb lhC pllnlluS VI ntNopd-
pers in any language but English.
That would be too drastic. But 1
think that this amendment, which has
the sanction of the department of JUS
tice, should be accepted"
Vardaman of Mississippi said he
would not oppose the amendment, for
it conceded with his views, but he
thought the espionage bill already
took care of the situation. No rollcall
was taken on the amendment. 1t pre-
vents the publication of ANY com
ments respecting the government, its
policies or international relations, tbs
state of conduct of the war" withouf
the parallel translation. The penalty
is $500 or a year in Jail.
Before the whole bill was passed an
amendment was inserted allowing the
president to declare an embargo upon
any articles, however without prefer
ence as to ports.

HAS NEW PLAN FOR
PEACE PROPOSALS

Bishop FrakneI of the Roman Catho-
Tic church in Hungary proposes a new
method of inaugurating peace negotia-
tons. He suggested in a church
newspaper that the parliaments Of
hungary, Austria and Germany invite
the Anglo-French and American par
naments to appoint three delegates
each for an unbinding interchange OF
views with similar Populations from
the central powers. under the chair
manship of Pope Benedict or his repre-
sentative. Bishop Fraknei says that
socialist attempts were doomed in ad-
vance to failure.
The Vorwaerts of Berlin believes
the bishops suggestion is worthy OF
consideration.
