HAVING turned to the Republi-

that will bring back into government
reason, common sense and economy.
There must be a definite program
launched by the minority to which
al. ever increasing number of the
majority will find the courage to
subscribe, even :naugurate certain
phases of it.
Yes, l look to see constructive
changes in the coming year. From
one end of the country to the other.
our people are ready to give them
selves to sacrifice, to deprivation, to
win the war. But there must come
renewal of confidence in govern
ment, without which no war can be
won, no peace established.
am certain express the feelings
of most members of congress when
say that we go back into session
with a new determination to meet
reality with intelligence and cour-
age. We must clear the air, free
American productive genius, release
the latent force of desire that is in
every American, to get behind the
commander in chief for one pas
sionate purpose: the winning of the
war and the establishment of last
ing peace.

German Production
is 20% Below 1912,
British Report
Lord Selborne Attributes
At Least Half Of Drop
To Allied Air Ruids
BY the Associated Press.

GS lne ASSOCld.eu fIeSS.
LONDON, June 9.-Lord Selborne
Minister of Economic Warfare, said
today his department estimated that
German industrial production is IS
to 20 per cent lower than last year
and that I'VE attribute at least half
of this decline to air raids"
Industrial production in the Ruhr
area, he added, is around IS per cent
below that of the 1912 rate, due
very largely to RAF attacks.
Lord Selborne told a press con-
ference that the bombing of Ger
many has greatly accelerated the
slow economic rot resulting from
the Allied blockade. He said that
while the Ruhr is bearing the main
weight of the air attacks, there are
many other targets in Germany,
and they will be visited at the right
time and in the right manner"
LAS fast as the Germans rebuild
their industries we will knock them
down. he added.
Lord Selborne predicted that
German efforts to disperse indus
tries would fail because they can't
pick up the Ruhr coal mines and
set them down somewhere else"
If bombing does drive some in
dustries to Eastern Europe, he said,
it would create a terrific strain on
Hitler's transport system to carry
raw materials to the east and then
bring the finished products back to
the west where they can be used.
He estimated that more than
100000 houses had been destroyed
or seriously damaged by the bomb
ing Of 20 German localities.

State Supreme Court jury yesterday
DR.. Davis charged in his suit, trial
of which began May 13. that his
political beliefs were improperly
portrayed in an article written by
Mr.. Stolberg and published in the
September 2. 1899, issue of the Satur-
day Evening Post. The defendants
contended the article was substan-
TALLY true.
In a two-hour charge to the jury,
Justice John F.. Carew objected to
the defendants suggestion that the
plaintiff has right to be Com
munist."
This man has no right to be a
Communist" Justice Carew said.
Communism, the advocacy of Com
munism is crime under the con-
stitution of New York and the laws
of the United States. No man has a
right to be a Communist here"
Bruce Bromley, attorney for the
publishing company, objected to
this portion of the charge, and Louis
Waldman. counsel for Mr.. Stolberg,
objected to what he described as
Justice Carew's procedure and di-
rection" concerning the returning
of a sealed verdict in the event the
jury reached an agreement.
In summing up, Arthur Garfield
Hays, attorney for DR.. Davis, said
DR.. Davis now is YMCA director for
prisoners of war in Canada with
headquarters in Toronto, and de-
clared that the plaintiff was inves-
tigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation before he received the
appointment.

Gordon, lyricist, and Harry Warren,
composer, under contract with the
firm. for Twentieth Century Fox
picture.
Miss Sax said royalties we're being
paid to Mr.. Gordon and Mr. War

Protection OF.
Wild Ducks
Is Success

SPOKANE. Duck Hunting is
better" said Arthur M. BARLEY,
New York, manager of Ducks IN
limited, in talking last week to the
Publicity-tourist Bureau of the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce.
Ducks Unlimited, supported by
memberships among American
hunters and Wildlife lovers, carries
on a conservation program to save
the wild ducks in their. natural
breeding grounds in Canada.
Mr.. BARLEY said, After five
years of practical restoration work,
Ducks Unlimited in this country
has grown to an organization of
$4,000 sportsmen and conservation
lists. They have contributed 5000,
900 to increase duck production on
the breeding grounds. This money
has been used to
(a) Establish over 100000 acres
of safe refugees.
(b) Construct over 10 permanent
dams.
(c) Excavate over 80 emergency
reservoirs.
(d) Build 300 miles of ferces and
fire guards,
(e) Organize destruction Of L.
100000 crows and magpies.
(f) Form farmers into fire-pra-
vention co-operatives.
(g) Develop methods to reduce
pike probation.
(h) Fight waterfowl diseases.
ID Organize volunteer workers
throughout the provinces.
Results have been phenomenal
1t is estimated that 2l,000,000 more
ducks have been preduced-at- .
cost of only cents a duck
In 1912, the duck population was
more than double that of 1887.
This salvation Of the sport Of
wildfowling is not accidental. 1t is
the result of research, study, intel
ligent work-and careful expendi-
ture of money.

Idle Farm
Machine Can
BE Sold
Ii Owner Does Not
Put It to Use by
Sale or Rental.
HOPE BOARD WILL NOT
BE FORCED TO ACT

A program to assure the use of
idle farm machinery was announced
this week by E. F. Staples, chair
man of the Lincoln County u. S.
Department of Agriculture War
Board. Under the program, USDA
War Boards are given authority to
requistition and sell idle farm ma
chinery, if the legal owner does not
take immediate steps to put it to
use either through rental or sale in
the production of food for our arm
les, our allies and ourselves.
Under the order said MIR. Sta
pies, County USDA War Boards
must first locate persons needing
equipment who are willing to pur-
chase machinery. The County War
Board will then communicate with
the owner of the machinery who is
given ten days from the date Of the
letter to notify the County War
Board that the offer of an eligible
purchaser has been accepted"
If the owner of the machinery
either fails to reply to the County
War Board. refuses the offer. or
refuses to rent his equipment to
farmers needing it. the County War
Board may request the Chairman of
the State USDA War Board to
requisition and sell the machinery,
according to Mr.. Staples.
The price to be paid will be the
ceiling price (for used machinery
for which ceiling prices have been
established) less such repair costs
as are necessary to put the ma
chinery in running order. Where
ceiling prices have not been es-
tablished the disposal price will be
fair appraisal value as determined
by the County Farm Rationing
Committee. II the machinery is

Rcqulsitionlng of any material
is a powerful weapon of the Gov
eminent even in war times, since
1T involves the invasion of private
rights. Therefore, great caution
and scrupulous care are required in
the exercise of such powers Mr..
Staples said We hope it will b.
unnecessary actually to use the
powers granted by the order and
that the owners will at their own
free will either rent or sell to per-
sons who are in need Of the ma

Authority for requisitioning was
