DAWSON TALKS
At c. c. FORUM

Devoung himself principally TO
discussion OF Marks Frank
Drake Dawson Of North Bend sd-
dressed members Of the Tacoma
Chamber Of Commerce at their
weekly forum Monday at the Hotel
Winthrop.
Dawson discredited the theory
that capitalism inevitably leads TO
International conflicts
There never has been war
between democratic countries since
industrial capitalism started about
100 wears ago he said.
Mass conscience existing in DEM
ocratie nations but impossible in
totalitarian nations is responsible,
in his opinion.
Dawson. a former Rhodes schol-
ar and now a student Of world az
fairs. suggested scholarly lecturers
in American democracy be invited
10 conduct courses at universities
as well as scholarly leftists, as he
referred TO Or. Harold J. LasM
of London. now at the University
of Washington.
Il don't mean to express any,
thing but admiration for Dr..
Laski." he said. And the uni
verslty needs no defense for in
wiling him there. A university is
a place for bright and stimulating
thought"

you buy. or else" was the
American threat. There is a faint
smell of modern racketeering in
the American attitude
So the British bought!
A few days later. the British
sloop-of- Raccoon arrived. The
British-good sportsmen-laughed
at the American trick that had
forced them to buy.
So the Americans were out. The
British were in.
The score on the Aston expert
ment: 90 men dead, two ships
wrecked, a vast fortune lost. That
was the loss.
But on the credit side: The
American flag had been at the
mouth of the Columbia before the
British. 1t proved that the Snake
river route To the coast was i'm
practical.

RENO. Nev.-Allocatio Of more
shipbuilding contracts to the Pa
cific coast and development Of
strategic war mineral deposits
were stressed today as the two
greatest national defense objec-
tives of the western states.
Addressing the western confer
ence on national defense called by
the American Legion. Chairman
George Malone of the Nevada Le-
gion's defense committee urged
the two-point program as a basis
for n coordinated defense program
to be discussed during the two
day meeting.
There are no shipyards on the
Pacific coast capable of doing
anything" he said, referring to
the merchant marine expansion
program.
Not less than % per cent of
shipbuilding should be allocated
to the Pacific coast This would
mean that IA or IS ships a year
would be built to keep the coast
yards active"
He urged the conference to take
definite action to approve the
Legions defense program. First,
to be ready: and second. to have
continuous program to keep
abreast of developments"

Briefly. we will clear up the
final chapters in Astoria. and the
part that settlement played in the
history Of our great Northwest.
You have read how Astor's
party, sent out on the Tonquin,
was massacred through the harsh
stupidity OF the captain.
You have read how others of
the Astor party were put ashore,
and founded what is now the city
of Astoria.
Now we shall consider a THIRD
Aston group-the Aston overland
party.
Wilson Price Hunt was the
leader of Astors overland party.
He took a party OF "a persons
out across the continent to AS
toria. Several of these persisted
in various ways, but Hunt man.

Astoria, from which point vari-
Gus trapping groups were sent out
through the northwest.
Hunt represents the CONNER
CIAL instinct at its highest point.
He fought famine, and danger.
and high water on his trip across
the continent in lsl2-because Of
the gain for commerce that could
be made.
Lewis and Clark had represent
ed EXPLORATION at its finest
they battled the same elements in
order to satisfy that craving
which we all have to see what is
on the other side of the distant
hills.
SO Fort Astoria was founded
and the fur business got under
way. Alexander Ross went up
into the Okanogan country and
ran a fur trading post there.
But all this energy. all this
courage, all this ability was as
useful as planting grain in a
whirlwind
Because
The Northwestern Fur Co
claimed the territory for Britain
| no matter that Astor's men had
arrived at the coast first.
The Astoria party knew that
British ships were coming. The
war of 1912 was on, and as ar
act of war the British could very
we'll blow little Astoria off the
face of the map.
What to do? Donald Mcken
zie. in charge of the fort, decided
to get what he could out of the
British interests before the British
ships arrived.
So he tried to sell out his sup.
plies TO the English. But they
didn't want to buy. why tn,

PLYWOOD LOG
Law IS NEEDED

Declaring that the forest indus
tries OF the Pacific Northwest find
themselves in a precarious situa-
ton because of the great export
volume OF high grade Douglas fir
logs to foreign competitors while
an attempt is being made at the
same time TO maintain foreign
markets for manufactured wood
products. r. w. Daniels. A leader
in the plywood industry and vice
president of the Herbor Plywood
Corp. Of Hoquiam. offered COM
ment today on the pceler log bill
now In discussion before congress.
I'VE hold a world monopoly on
plywocd logs" said Daniels.
Other foreign markets. formerly
taking large quantities OF our ply
wood. have now prohibited this
importation. They send their ships
TO the North Pacific to fetch our
logs. thereby giving employment
to their labor.
Japan is our principal foreign
competitor. Wages in Japanese
plywood mills average three cents
an hour. Our average wage is rs
cents an hour. No wonder our
plywood export trade has reached
the vanishing point.
Our industry is typical ex-
port industry. We have the fin
est softwood timber in the world.
our labor Is efficient, and we have
the advantage of very large pro-
duction TO cater to the domestic
demand, Our export trade Is
valuable as balance wheel. and
given an equal chance of COMPETE
ton with other countries we can
hold our own as we have proven
through many years of export
business.
This export trade in high-grade
Douglas fir logs must stop If our
industry is to recover and our
labor Is to have steady employ
ment. There is no use for our
government to secure tariff con-
cessions from foreign governments
as long as these foreign nations
have free access to our raw ma
terial which constitutes our only
advantage"
Daniels pointed out that the ex-
port trade of plywood logs "robs
our labor OF an annual payroll OF
81 600. 600"
The ''peeler log" bill now be-
fore congress. If passed, would
prohibit the expectation of Doug
las fir plywood logs to foreign
countries and also Port Oxford
cedar logs.

Dear Mr.. Newman:
Editor: Your Fifth Anniversary
as years roll along, anniversaries
come closer together. Some of us
do not look with such favor upon
them, but in business, in news
papers, and in accomplishments,
they mean more and are welcome
no matter how often they come.
have been regular reader of
the Spokesman" from time to
time have offered suggestions and
have congratulated you on your
editorial reading, comparable with
many newspapers and their epoch
making editorials.
You have not defended the
Negro; you have been quick to con-
denim and equally quick to praise.
You have never held the Negro up
as an object of sympathy, but have
tried to instill courage in the heart
of the Negro race and fortitude so
they could stand alone without
sympathy. This, of course, will de-
termine your destiny, this subject
of sympathy, courage, and forti-
tude. If the Negro continues to
ask for sympathy instead of cour-
age, cringe for help instead of ex-
hibiting fortitude, then they will
continue for many years to be
looked upon as objects of SYM
pathy. You have carried forward
with vigor, courage, honesty, and
the thought which is very impor-
tant, that the Negro must depend
upon himself, not sympathy.
You have published a good pa
per. / always read it and enjoy
the editorials and news contained.
/ do not know enough of you to en-
joy all of the news, but you have
developed a good paper and you
have accomplished this without the
aid of sympathy.
Yours very truly,
Federal Cartridge Co.
