APPRECIATES NEWSPAPERS.
CONTINUED on page three)

Prefacing his remarks with an appre-
ciation of North American journalistic
effort to develop the acquaintance be-
tween the United States and Argentina,
efforts in which the United Press is
the pioneer, and voicing his pleasure
that the Argentines are recognizing,
tardily, perhaps, the tremendous impor-
lance of such an acquaintance, he dis
cussed for nearly an hour the interna-
tional complications which have focus

tina.
His talk was devoid of mincing of
words, of hair-splitting and fine shades
of meaning. On the contrary, he spoke
with the directness and conviction of a
statesman sure of himself and of the
defensibility of his position and palp-
ably made no attempt to "carry water
on both shoulders"
Why He Stood Pat.
When Intercepted regarding Argen-
tina not breaking with Germany in
the face of great popular demands for
a declaration of war after Germany
had affronted the republic, he said:
"The position of a neutral is very
difficult. 1t is not always understood
by belligerents, as the United States
will appreciate.
"The misunderstanding of Argen-
tina's position is quite evident to us,
but it would not be well for the world
to PREJUDICE Argentina's future course,
in the event of further German af-
fronts, except upon a full understanding
Of her past course and her present po-
siticn.

manyn Argentina, acr1ng IN accordance
with international procedure, demand
ed an apology and reparation. When
both were granted, Argentina, under
the law, was unable to proceed fur
ther, regardless of individual opinions
and national sentiments. When Germany
made reparation upon our demands, our
course was dictated as certainly as was
that of :he United States throughout
the period of her long neutrality.

but there is no justification for doubt

Position Similar to U. s..
When asked if he considered that Ar
gentina's position parallels that of the
United States after the Sussex sink
ing, he replied in the affirmative, adj
ding:
GAS the United States was stopped
from action against Germany while Ger
many S pledge regarding use of submar-
ines had not been violated, so Argentina
is stopped now.
"Although herself rushed with war
preparations, the United States certain
.ly does not mistake and is not blind
to Argentina s sympathy and warm feel
ing, which we have expressed on every
occasion since the United States enter
ed the war. 1 am certain that Americans
generally recognize that, by inviting the
American fleet to visit Buenos Aires and
in many other ways where our bond Of
sympathy dictated that we give proof
of the genuineness and depth of our
friendship for America, Argentina has
never hesitated. We have cheerfully
placed ourselves on record, at times
under conditions which risked bringing
upon ourselves reprisals and serious diff
ficulties.

The entire effect and impression left
by the interview, which is practically
Unprecedented in Argentina, was that
there is not the slightest doubt Of the

United States. Like President Wilson
Thowever, he regards his position as pre-

feeling with which he referred to the
various actions and statements of GU
president, indicated a belief that his
position will be better understood by
President Wilson than by anyone.
The conversation made evident Presi-

sident Wilson are in attunement on vi

FACTORY HAS
A LARGE CAPACITY
Local Concern Able TO Fully
Supply Demands Of Valley
Fruit Growers
BY W. G. Cowgirl

In the swirl of everyday business
sometimes il occurs that newspaper ar.
ticles are published in good faith from
the data at hand, but in an article
which appeared in the Capital journal
of April 11th it was intimated that Sa.
lem did not have a box fectory of suf-
ficient capacity to supply the home de-
mand, which is not the case.
Through the courtesy extended me-
yesterday afternoon by local manager.
20. j.. Myers, and superintendent, j. u.
Doran, of Chas. X. Spaulding Logging
company, / made a thorough inspection
from figures furnished me from their
books this company today, with its
present equipment alone, has sufficient
capacity to supply all the fruit boxes
and berry boxes for the entire William
cite valley from Albany to Portland,
provided the orders were placed in adj
vance.
There is now on hand in their fac
tory eight bundled thousand feet of
manufactured box shook ready for
shipment, as well as five hundred thou
sand berry boxes.
What Actual Estimates Show
Based on last years figures Salem
and vicinity the consumption Of boxes
was approximately 1885 thousand,
while the Spaulding company, with its
present equipment on an eight hour
day, has a yearly capacity Of 1860
thousand boxes, which would show an
overproduction Of IT'S thousand boxes.
With the present equipment on two 8
hour shifts the factory can produce
$500 thousand boxes. and there is suf-
fieient unused space to install add
tional machines that would make their
output approximately three million
Present Equipment
They have at the present time in
operation ten rip and cutoff saws,
three resaws, one printing press, which
automatically prints the growers or
shippers name on the boxes sold them;
three mailing machines, one boring ma
chine, three stitching machines, be-
sides the very latest patented Saranae
Corrugated Wire Stapling machine,
which so securely fastens the boards
together that they win split elsewhere

'sThe amount is the largest ever

the history of the world said Dr.
Mott. Viewed as d total sum it
seems gigantic, but divide it by the
four million men who will be under

the period it is expected to cover and
you, find that 1t means less than Is

no father or mother or friends of a
soldier in this great country who will
say that fifteen cents a day is too
much to spend on his church, his
home over there. his library. his the
atre and his club"
The President summed up the
whole appeal in recent letter in
which he spoke of these seven great
agencies as of vital military i'm
portance. He had in mind the fact
that their activities ARE largely re.
sponsible for the maintenance of the
splendid morale of our forces. There

The forces that confront each other
there are not widely dissimlar in

my is constantly withdrawing and
the other irresistibly moving for

that one word-Morale.

General Pershing in recent letter
commenting on the work of these
agencies quoted with approval the
the statement of one of his colonies
who said: Give me nine men who

IF it is worth twenty-four billion
dollars to keep our boys under arms

to add ten sper cent to their fighting
