STATE RIGHTS UNFRAMED
new eva BILL DOES NOT
HARM STATES RIGHTS

Portland.-Assistant Secretary of
the Interior c. Girard Davidson, said
last week that the new eva bill will
protect all existing states rights,
diminish bureaucracy, not increase
it." and unity and speed up all-im-
portant northwest resource develop
ment.
The young Oregonian conferred
with regional leaders in Seattle,
Portland, Eugene and Boise.
Davidson said that in many cases
the present federal program "does
not make sense" He pointed out
that $500 million was being spent to
reclaim land in the Grand Coulee
region, yet in five counties of south
east Washington, where the soil ero-
sion problem is critical, only six soil
conservation service agents were at
work.
Enough soil to cover 1900
farms of 80 acres washed down
the Columbia river in last years
floods" he said.
eve spend millions to develop
farms in one area and pennies to
save farms in another"

Chinese NationaIists
Not 'BIockading,' Bui
Order Ports Closed
By me ksso<ioisd Press

CANTON, China. June 25.-The
Chinese Nationslists today made
q fine but significant distinction:
Their blockade Of the Chinese
coastal areas controlled by the
Communists, effective tomorrow,
Is not a blockade at all; it is mere
ly the closing Of certain ports
wherein the Chinese government
no longer can afford protection to
foreign carriers in the air and
on the sea"
This announcement by the
Nationalist Foreign Once was
seen by foreign diplomats as a
smart legal move.
II a formal blockade were pro-
claimed, foreign nations wishing
to trade with Communist ports
could construe this as a recogni-
ton Of Communist belligerency
and proceed to ignore the block
ade.
Simply announcing the closing
of certain ports-which by coin
cidence are in Communist hands
is, however. a legal right Of the
government which all foreign
powers still recognize as the
sovereign regime Of China.
The Importance Of this distinc-
ton was Immediately noted in
Communist -helo Nanking.
The best precedent is found in
the American Civil War" reported
Seymour Topping, Associated
Press correspondent. The North
declared a blockade of Southern
ports. This was followed by Euro
pean recognition of belligerency
rights for the Confederacy. These
included the rights of Southern
diplomatic agents to function
abroad"
Mr.. Topping noted the Nation
alist maneuver also avoided the
question of whether they can
actually maintain a blockade as
required by international law.
Whatever the legal technical
tiles, the paper blockade was al
ready having its effect on Red
Shanghai. The only ship in port
was the British freighter Anchises,
crippled June 81 by Nationalist
air attack.
The latest development was Ma
