Remove Ford's Paper

Remove Ford's Paper
The question of withdrawing from
the files the Ford International week.
ly, The Dearborn Independent, came
up for discussion at a meeting of the
trustees of the Portland public IL
brary Wednesday evening, when 1t
was decided temporarily to remove
this publication from circulation on
the files, although no formal action
was taken. The matter of with
drawing the Ford weekly altogether
from the files of the local library is,
however, under consideration, in ac-
cordance with the statement of v. C.
Wilson, secretary and following in
vestigation, definite action will be
taken at the next monthly meeting of
the trustees. The pending action is
in line with a policy which has al
ready been adopted by many Of the
public libraries of the country on the
grounds of the alleged hostile atti-
tude which The Dearborn Independ-
ent has assumed towards the Jewish
people of the world.

Dun's Report

New York. Feb. 25,-Dun's tomor-
row will say:
Continuance of the business read
justment is indicated by develop
ments in different markets, and gem
eral and progressive Improvement. in
conditions is yet, to be witnessed.
revival is still delayed in various
basic industrials, as in steel and iron,
and such recovery as has occurred else
where is lacking in uniformity. AS a
whole. however, the situation is rather
more encouraging than when the year
opened and the gradual relaxation of
the monetary tension that has followed
the liquidation in securities and COM
modities is favorable augury.
While the persistent Discrimination
to operate freely for the future tends
to retard progress, moderate sized or
ders are being placed more frequently
in some quarters as stocks of goods
undergo reduction. and the approach
OF Easter is stimulating trade in re-
tail channels.

Badger boys made gallant charge
down the decliyity and up the opposite
