Stewart Holbrook Directs Campaign Against \(/estern Pine Semi- Annual Meeting

Forest Fires in \(/ashington State at San Francisco August 9

Stewart H. Holbrook, well known author and lumber publicity man of the Pacific Northwest, is active manager of a "Keep Washington Green" campaign that started in June of this year, and is well under way. He has established an office at Olympia, Wash., from which the statewide work will be carried on. Organizing every available group of civic minded people in the entire state in a concerted and organized efrort to prevent forest fires, is his job. The big lumber and timber owning firms in Washington are solidly behind him, and helping finance the campaign. He will speak before groups in all parts of the state, soliciting and directing their assistance to the movement.

A California business leader will also bring a message of interest to the Western Pine industry at the August 9 meeting.

CHAS. WILLIAMS, PRESIDENT OF MOORE DRY KILN COMPANY, IN CALIFORNIA

Charlie Williams, of Jacksonville, Florida, president of the Moore Dry Kiln Company, was a brief visitor in California during the past week, en route to Portland, Oregon, where he will spend the summer.

Mr. Williams reports that their business is wonderful so far this year in the kiln department, and that in addition they are doing a constantly growing business in stackers and other automatic lumber handling machinery and equipment. He says that many Southern sawmills are now installing 'Western type equipment for handling lumber, such as carriers, hoists, stackers, etc.

Saw the heavens fiU with commerce, Argosies of magic sails; Pilots of the purple twilight, Dropping down with costly bales; I Heard the heavens fill with shouting, i And there rained a ghastly dew; tr'rom the nations? airy navies, ' Grappling in the central blue.

-Tennyson in ,'Locksley Hall.,' ***

Talk about predictions of airplanes, and air commerce, and air fighting! What else could Lord Tennyson have been talking about in this passage from .,Locksley Hall"?

For months past in many parts of Europe, and over England, the "airy navies" have been ,.grappling in the central blue," and fhe .,ghastly dew" comes from the spluttering machine guns, and the dropping bombs of death. Evidently the distinguished English bard had likewise the power of prophecy. :l€ {. *

Just an hour ago f stopped work to listen to Lord Halifax over the radio. He was answering Hitler,s recent tirade. How beautifully all those British statesmen speak t He mentioned "the unconquerable passion of man for freedom." fsn't that splendidty put? And when he got to Mister Mussolini, he skinned him beautifully in just a few words. He spoke of the Duce .,flushed with victory over F'rance whom he never fought," and claiming to be master of the Mediterranean '.which he has never conquered." He said more in a few short minutes than Hitler did in two hours.

rF*rf

How horribly most of our speakers of today waste words. I listened to a great part of the speeches made at fhe two national political conventions, my chief hope being to hear some fine, old-fashioned oratory. And there was none. The NEW DEAL convention was the most disappointing to me, because I expected to hear some stem-winding oratory when the Southern delegates got the fosr. And not a single speech was made that by the widest stretch of the imagination could have been called decent oratory. The keynote was delivered by a Southerner; and I cannot recall ever hearing a worse speech or a lrorse speaker. I've always declared rathcr blatantty that

the South is the source and final resting place of oratory. Guess I'll have to wait for a new crop of political orators. ***

And when Mr. Roosevelt made his acceptance over the radio, he used thousands upon thousands of words to simply say-"I accept." That reminds me of the famous story of the fierce old Spaniard who lay dying, and the priest was at his side. The priest said to him-..Before I can give you absolution, you must forgive your enemies.', The old Spaniard said-"I haven't an enemy on earth.', "'What?" exclaimed the priest, who knew something of his history. "You have no enemies?" .,Not an enemy," replied the old Spaniard. "I killed the last one yesterday.,, And thus it was at the NEW DEAL convention. Every other possible candidate had been effectually and completely destroyed before the convention started. yes, ..v/e planned it that way."

!F**

I can remember when every Democratic convention was studded with silver-tongued speakers who took the very stars down from the heavens in their eloquent enthusiasm. Woe is me, how we have retrograded into oratorical mediocrity !

By the wan who "r" lr"r.r".,ltitr orators in American history? (Please do not hurt my feelings by confusing oratory with reading prepared scripts before microphones.) Men can no more agree on this subject than fhey can about which woman of history was the most beautiful. It is entirely a matter of individual taste. With a great love of oratory and eloquence bred deep in my bones, I have devoured and studied the words and thoughts of most of the famous speakers of American history, and I arrange my favorites in THIS fashion: Patrick Ffenry, Abraham Lincoln, Col. R. G. Ingersoll, John C. Calhoun, Daniel Webster, Major John W. Daniel, and Joseph Weldon Bailey. Unfortunately for me the only one of these I ever heard was the last named. I do not include William Jennings Bryan. I heard him deliver the "Cross of Gold" speech that established his oratorical fame, yet I think Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, surpassed him-and surpassed all other speakers I have ever heard---as the rays of the noonday sun eclipse a farm lantern.

(Continued from page 6) was an orator! His eloquence soared like an eagle, the shadow of whose wings fall upon the highest mountain top.

;f**

Our children today learn all too little of the great Americans who have put life and color into our history by the grandeur of their speech. Most of them have heard or read of the eloquent Patrick Henry and his immortal words-"Give me liberty, or give me death,'-and his equally famous oration that ended-.'If this be treason, make the most of it." But it should be remembered that Patrick Henry, in his famous debates, had no antagonist worthy of his steel, so far did he outclass his field. There were no other titans of logic and eloquence to thunder against him, or to attempt to confuse his golden tongue.

***

I am thinking of another series of debates that took place in the United States Senate at one time, with the great Daniel Webster and the powerful and dramatic Henry Clay on one side, and John C. Calhoun, of South Carolina, often called "the master logician of his age,', opposing them single-handed. An English journalist, sent over here to report those debates, wrote back to his paper in London: "History has no parallel. There has been nothing like it since tlre debates of Milton's angels.,, yet few Americans today remember that it ever happened, or that such giants of intellect, with golden tongues attuned to their marvelous thinking machinern ever graced this American soil, and filled our chambers of Congress with the marvels of their oratorical magic.

**{3

For extended flights of oratory, for beautiful thoughts and phrase construction that delighted the ear and the mind, the famous agnostic, Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, a soldier in the Federal A*y during the Civil War, had no counterpart in American history. It is related that Abraham Lincoln once heard Ingersoll speak, and returning home said to his wife: "What a marvelous instrument is human speech, when played by a master."

{€{<*

The three great orators of ancient history were, of course, outstanding; Pericles, Demosthenes, and Cicero, the first two Greek, the third Roman. Demosthenes and Cicero were of the flaming type of orators, the type which William Jennings Bryan represented. Their eloquence rose in speed, and power, and rhythm as they pyramided. Pericles was the ponderous type of orator. Something of ' his style may be gleaned from. the fact that, before every public utterance, he prayed to the Gods that he might use no unnecessary word, and misuse no word. That was the school to which the late Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, belonged. As he became more dramatic, more

enthused, more inspired by his own thoughts, he slowed down instead of speeding up, making every word carry its burden of power and of logic. FIe never ..shot to scatter."

I heard Bailey end one of his speeches on Americanism with these words, slowly, powerfully, every word driven in like a railroad spike: "I agree with Lincoln, that all the armies of Europe could never make a footprint in the Blue Ridge, or drink from the waters of the Ohio. But if this nation ever dies, it will die from within, and not from without; it will be suicide, and not murder. And I warn you, my friends, that if this nation ever dies, there will be no resurrection morn; there will be no guardian angel to roll away the rock from our sepulchre door; there will be no Easter morn for this republic." That's what I call speaking. *rf*

And, speaking of redundancy and circumlocution, and word waste in public speaking, it might well be said that public writing is still worse, as illustrated by the two national political platforms recently written. Reams of empty words, which will be forgotten the minute the heat of conflict rises. I would remind you that Abraham Lincoln once ran for fhe Legislature in lllinois, and in his platform there were just twenty-seven words. He wrote: "I believe in a United States bank; I believe in a protective tariff; I believe in a system of internal improvements; and I am against human slavery." He got elected. I think a platform of about that length would get a lot of votes today. What are platforms for, anyway, but to confuse the gullible? ***

Daniel Webster once said: "f shall know but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my country's, my God's, and truth's. I was born an American; I will live an American; I shall die an American." How would that be for a mighty good political platform today?

I would like to close this with a prayer. In line with my recent reading, this is it: "Oh Lord! Please don't ever let Westbrook Pegler turn his guns loose on me !" How that guy can write! And what magnificent courage he has!

They Have To Be

"Are politicians always good?" Asked little Jackie Story; "They have to be," said lJncle Zeke, And waxed explanatory; "Now listen to me, Jackie dear, And I will make the reason clear."

"Now when an able man steps forth To labor for the state, His past is public property, His friends investigate; And if his record bears a stain, Their search for it-is not in vain."

"Ife may seem meek and upright, dear, As any wooley sheep, But if he ever harmed a friend, Or failed a pledge to keep, There is no shadow of a doubt, But that his sin will find him out."

"The meddling voters will not let His past lie where it should, They magnify the ill he's done And over look the good; And that's the reason, Jackie lad, Men can't campaign if they've been bad."

Advance Nearly $50,0001000 for Home Financing First Six Months 1940

Washington, July 27,--:Ihe twelve Regional Banks of the Federal Home Loan Bank System advanced nearly $50,000,000 to their member institutions for home financing purposes in the first six months of 19.0, approximately 37 per cent more than during the same period of 1939, it was announced today.

Net advances of nearly $20,000,000 in June alone, marking a decided upsurge even considering the usual demand for money for fiscal year-end purposes, were being studied by officials of the Bank System as possible evidence of an unusually sharp increase in home building.

Repayments by member institutions to the Regional Banks in the first six months of the year totaled about $75,000,000. But whereas $23,500,000 was advanced in June, $3,600,000 in repayments were recorded.

Since the creation of the Bank System in L932, the Regional Banks have advanced $631,000,000 to their member institutions; approximately $157,000,000 now is outstanding. The System now serves more than 3,900 thrift and home-financing institutions, of which the great majority are savings and loan associations. As in the past several decades, savings and loan associations are currently accounting for a larger proportion of home mortgage financing than any other type of lender in the United States.

A Salesman's Best Characteristics

BY JACK DIONNE

Every tinre you turn cround some young sale$nan asks 1Tilli question: "What crre the outstcnding chqrccteristics a young man should strive lor who wcmts to become cnr <rccomplished salesmcm?"

Here's cr quick cnswer to th<il one. 'TIe nuet be honorcble, he must be lovcrble, crnd he muet be helplul." Keep scrying those three ttrings over to yoursell Mister Youthlul Scrlesmqn There cre mcny sub-clcrssiliccrtions into which ecrch of those chcrccteristics ccrn be divided iI you get right down to ccsesi but thoee three lundcmrentcrls crre easy to remember:

He must be HONOBABLE.

He muEt be LOVABLE.

He must be HELPFIIL

The lirst is the most importcrnl To be honorcble medns to be honest, relicble, dependcrble in crll things. If men stry oI you-"you cqn cbsolutely detrrnd on ldnr"-*his word is cs good cs hiB bond"-"you clwcrys hrow where he stcmds without csking him"-then you hcrve cr long stqrt on your lile trip, cnrd it matters not where you cre cirning. There is no room in this modern business world lor cr dishonest m-'r. There ie no room even lor the "shcrp prtrctice" mcm-the mcn who stcys iust inside the written rules ol honesty, but cuts the conrers. Yes, to be in crll things honorcble, comes fitst.

To be LOVABLE is cr subiect on which librcnies hcve been cmd ccrn be written It hcrdly needs elcrboration Il your lrien&, your customers, your prospects, cnd your cssocicrtes ol qll sorts like to see you wcrlk in-you've got cnother business wedge whose power is inestimable. "Mcke'em like you," is c grrcmd slogcm lor salesnen BuL Ah, whcrt tr world ol brcdns, cmd inlelligence, cmd diplomcrcy, card tcrct, cmd genuine chqrcrcter is required to do thcrt. And, of course, this second lundcrmentcrl includes the first, beccruse who on ecrth loves cr crook, or c chect, or c "shcrlr prcrctice" mcm?

To be HELPFUT is c wonderlul selling lundmentcl. And this is more of cr physiccrl thing, thcn the otber two. Helplulness ccn be mcde to cover businesg, selling, economic, crs well cs personcl cnd emotioncrl mqtters. A mcm with cr wise word ol trdvice, crdministered in c tone oI voice thcrt proclcims its genuineness, is clwcrys welqome. So is cr mcrn wilh intelligent crnd prcrcticcrl suggestions thct the other lellow mcy incorporcrte into his business. Helplulness covers c brocd lield; too brocrd to be specilictrlly chcrrted.

Alberta Ruth Brey, Lumberwoman, Columnist and Live Civic Worlcer

The other day in a specially written column of ,.The Evening Recorder," Porterville, California, daily newspaper, we found quotations from Vagabond Editorials of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT. And the columnist said the stuff was written by ..My good friend Jack Dionne." So we inquired very promptly, and what did we find? That the columnist is Miss Alberta Ruth Brey, of Porterville, one of the owners and operators of the BreyWright Lumber Company, of that city.

It seems that the people of Porterville, recognizing Miss Brey's invaluable qualities, elected her a Director of their phamber of Commerce this year. And then the Board of -Directors in their turn elected her Advertising Chairman ,for the year, her job being to publicize Porterville and ;vicinity. The local daily newspaper then offered Miss Brey .,the entire use of a front page column once a week to be ,used in her job of boosting Porterville. So that,s how jLUMBER MERCHANT editorials got into the column.

At the head of the column is the signature ,.By C. of C. Commentator."

So that is a mighty big job Miss Brey has taken upon her shoulders in addition to her regular business of advertising and selling building materials in the most progressive of fashions. Everything that is interesting about porterville and vicinity are boosted in this column. That requires a whole lot of research work, and getting together the necessary facts and figures to fill the column. Already, by means of this well written department of the daily paper, the people of that territory have been made aware of more good things about themselves and their particular part of the state, than they ever were before. The newspaper staff furnishes Miss Brey all the cooperation possible, and between them a new and interesting service is being furnished by that Chamber of Commerce. Miss Brey, a charming and lovely woman, has long been known in Porterville as one of its very most progressive and valuable citizens, and now she is giving further proof of her merit.

Hollvwood Door Plant Enlarged

A further step in the growth of the West Coast Screen Company, whose plant at 1145 East 63rd Street, Los Angeles, is illustrated above, is the recent addition of a new brick warehouse, giving the plant a total frontage of. 252 feet. The building has a depth of 145 feet. Across the street on trackage is a storage warehouse for lumber 450 feet long, where a stock varying from 1,000,000 to 2,W,000 feet is kept on hand.

The reason for keeping such a large stock of lumber is found in the fact that this concern "acclimates" its lumber for a period of at least 90 days before manufacturing it into finished products. This policy has been carried out over a period of years and has been proved to pay good dividends.

As is well known this company manuf'actures the nationally distributed Hollywood Combination Screen and Metal Sash Door, and the rapid and healthy growth of the business is a tribute to the genius and industry of the owner and founder, Francis G. Hanson, who long ago figured that the way to make a success of manufacturing was to

INSECT SCREEN CLOTH

make something the public needs and then go ahead and tell the world about it. The West Coast Screen Company has done this very effectively, spending many thousands of dollars each year in promotion work and selling its preducts on merit rather than on a price basis. -

Mr. Hanson started in a small way in 1923 and the plant now employs 110 men. Some of the employes have been on the job from the start and many have been continuously employed for more than 10 years.

The plant is now in its fifth year of two-shift operation. It is one of the most modern in the United States, all of the machinery being of the latest type, and many machines having been specially built for this operation.

Warehouse stocks of Hollywood Doors are maintained at San Francisco, Portland, Or'e.; St. Paul, Minn.; Houston, Texas; Chicago, Ill.; Newark, N. J. and Brooklyn, N. Y.

West Coast Screen Company also manufactures louvre doors, shutters and screen doors.

TWO KINDS

"There are two kinds of Lumbermen on earth today, (Just two kinds-no more, I say). Not the saint or sinner, for 'tis well understood, The good are haif bad and the bad half good. Not the rich or the poor, for to count a man's wealth, You must first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the happy or sad, for the swift flying years, Bring to each man his laughter and to each man his tears. No: the two kinds of people on earth I mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean, And where'er you go, you'll find the world's masses Are always divided into just these two classes. And, oddly enough, you'll find, too, I ween, There's only one lifter to twenty who lean ! In which class are you? Are you easing the load Of over-taxed lifters who toil down the road, Or are you a leaner, who makes others bear YOUR part of the labor, and worry and care?"

Philippine Mahogany Manufacturers' Donner Party Route Will Be Marked by lmporters Meet at Colorado Springs

The annual meeting of the Philippine Mahogany Manufacturers' Import Association Inc. was held at the Broadmoor Hotel, Colorado Springs, Colo., on Friday and Saturday, luly 1920.

Members of the Association, representing the industry on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, were in attendance. Members of the board of directors reelected for the ensuing year are as follows: W. G. Scrim, Findlay-Millar Tirnber Co., Los Angeles; Roy Barto, Cadwallader-Gibson Co. Inc., Los Angeles; H. R. Black, Black & Yates Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y.; Thomas E. Powe, Thomas E. Powe Lumber Co., St. Louis, Mo.; J. K. McCormick, Henry J. Winde Co., Charlestown, Mass.; Glenn W. Cheney, Dant & Russell, Portland, Ore.; and J. Raymond Peck, Insular Lumber Company, Philadelphia, Pa.

At a meeting of the board of directors W. G. Scrim was re-elected president for the eighth consecutive year. Other officers re-elected were H. R. Black, vice-president, Glenn W. Cheney, secretary-treasurer, and G. W. Purchase, Los Angeles, assistant secretary-treasurer.

DEMAND FOR FHA CONTINUES AT LIVELY PACE

That residential construction under Federal Housing Administration inspection will continue at the present lively pace is indicated by the substantial volume of applications for insured loans coming into the Los Angeles FHA office, as reported by Capt. Wilson G. Bingham, Southern California district director.

Three out of the four past weeks registered more than 500 applications each, with dollar volume amounting to well above the $2,000,000 mark each week. it was stated.

Trail Riders

A little known section 9f the old Emigrant Trail, tragic route of the Donner Party pioneers over the High Sierras during the winter of 1846-1847, will be mapped and signed by trail riding California historians.

Supervisor Guerdon Ellis of the Tahoe National Forest headquarters at Nevada City said the group will include Native Sons of the Golden West, journalist historians and United States Forest Service officials.

Starting early Sunday morning, July 28, from Bear Valley north of Emigrant Gap in the Tahoe National Forest, the saddle horse party rode west by way of Mule Springs and Nigger Jack Hill where emigrant trains frequently camped. The route is several miles to the north of and parallels the scenic Auburn-Truckee highway.

Terminus of thd trailmarking party will be at the foot of Steep Hollow north of Gold Run, 22 miles from the takeoff point at Bear Valley. Emigrant journals qay that Steep Hollow was so named because wagon wheels had to be locked and trees dragged behind in order to make the descent without total destruction of the wagon train.

W. A. Levee, old time resident of Liberty Hill in the Mother Lode country, was the guide for Sunday's saddle caravan. Wendell Robie, Auburn business man and a leader of the party, states that Mr. Levee "knows every foot of the Emigrant Trail westward from the Bear Valley crossing."

A similar trailmarking expedition in 1934 posted the route of the early day ernigrants between Donner Lake and Bear Valley. That party was led by R. L. P. Bigelow, former supervisor of the Tahoe National Forest, a post he held for 28 years. Mr. Bigelow also will accompany the group Sunday.

Sometime in the near future the Native Sons expect to conduct trailmarking parties between Steep Hollow and the lower end of Bear River. The final link of the historic route is between that point and Sutter's Fort in the Sacramento Valley.

President Fleishel of N. L.

M. A. Says,

Washington, D. C., July 23, 1940.-John W. Watzek, Jr., whose appointment to head the Lumber and Forest Products Division of the Defense Advisory Commission was announced yesterday, was today advised by M. L. Fleishel of Jacksonville, Florida, president of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, representing regional lumber associations, with a production capacity of nearly 2O billion feet of lumber annually, that the Forest Products Industries are prepared to furnish promptly ample supplies for the National defense needs; and that there will be no "bottleneck" in lumber and timber products. Mr. Fleishel gave this assurance to Mr. Watzek after a two-months national study of potential national defense requirements and analysis of the facilities of the lumber industry. He assured the Defense Commission that the industry can provide current information of stocks of lumber on hand by species, grades and sizes, as well as of lumber production capacities by regions.

The Association also has offered the Defense Commission more comprehensive data on lumber utilization and specifications than have ever heretofore been available. Mr. Fleishel pointed out that the lumber industry of today has been modernized and its distribution streamlined so that it is in a much better position to serve promptly the National defense needs than in l9l7; it now has throughout the industry standardized grades and sizes of lumber to fit practically any need compared with the lack of dependable grade standards during World War I.

Calling attention to the fact that the industry is now working at only 7O per cent of capacity, Mr. Fleishel emphasized also the reemployment which would result, particularly in distressed areas where the forest industries

"No Bottleneck in

Lutb"r"

are practically the only sources of local employment. He further cited the relatively high labor-material ratios in the use of lumber compared with most other materials.

The National Lumber Manufacturers Association today cited the improvements in logging methods, manufacturing and processing and increased facilities for seasoning during the past 20 years which have resulted in more uniform sizes of lumber, more systematically graded and inspected than heretofore. Facilities also for prefabricated and demountable lumber structures have been developed in recent years to a high stage of efficiency. Practically all of the housing for the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Association announced, is now of this simple, convenient, portable type of construction which is readily adaptable not only to troop housing but to industrial housing.

IT SOUNDED THE SAME ANYWAY

F. N. Carson, Pacific Portland Cement Company, San Francisco, sends in the following story:

A new gal is hired by a lumber sales office; a trusting soul, but one entirely unfamiliar with the terms and expressions of the industry. She accepted things as they came, and wrote.them down as they sounded, until one day the boss wrote a customer:

"We are shipping you, as ordered,. one carload of pea poles."

When the letter came back for signature, she had typed it:

"We are shipping you, as ordered, one carload of peep holes."

Disposal of Export Surpluscs Should Not Overloolc Lumber, Says National Lumber Manufacturers Association

Washington, July l0.-Public discussion of ways and means under prospective world conditions for disposal of export surpluses of the W'estern Hemisphere should not overlook the fact that the United States has a surplus of timber in its forests and mill and labor facilities for production of large exportable surpluses of lumber, says the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.

Testimony of the Association in recent hearings on the bulk-export shipping bills, introduced by Representative Angell of Oregon and Representative Boykin of Alabama, called for the Maritime Commission .'to adjust its operations to take advantage of the large surpluses of timber now available for manufactured goods for export, in order to carry out its purpose to provide the greatest possible export cargo for American ships."

fn response to an official question as to making any assistance to bulk export shipping conditional on the public interest, the NLMA stated:

"It has from the first been presumed that aid to shipping for the purposes stated would carry reasonable conditions. This is indicated in the bills . . As regards forest products, we see no reason to set up separate export shipping 'policies. Rather, we think that the actions and policies of all Government agencies concerned with growing and utilizing forests, marketing and shipping forest products, should promptly be coordinated to effect forest conservation. Much greater consumption of forest products, to utilize vast surpluses of merchantable timber and potential growth surpluses, constitutes conservation in that it encourages improved forestry practices. Greater use means wider markets, for which greater export is essential for large quantities of products not salable at home. .Appropriate conditions' should not be considered piece-meal, but for the coordinated total of Government measures affecting forest industry."

A resolution introduced by Senator Holman, of Oregon,

seeks further study by the Commission of measures to facilitate the exportation of bulk-cargo commodities. This resolution includes request for information in regard to the extent to which executive departments and other independent agencies of the Government concerned with foreign trade may under existing law cooperate with the Maritime Commission in developing complete utilization of the cargo capacities of American vessels in the exporta- tion of American bulk-cargo commodities.

Considerable attention is also being given by Government agencies to the problem of Latin-American export surpluses, particularly in respect to commodities of which the United States has surpluses over domestic demand. The Under Secretary of Commerce, Chairman of the fnterAmerican Development Commission, established to promote new industries in Latin America and increased trade between the countries of the Western Hemisphere, said recently: "Formation and approval of projects designed to develop industrial plans in Latin American countries will be discussed. The discussion of projects will be confined to the construction of plants manufacturing products that are non-competitive with those already made in the United States."

Assistant Secretary of State Berle, in a public address on economic defense of the Western Hemisphere declared: "ft is important to note that there is no need whatever of bringing surplus products from one American country, which may have too much of them, to another country, which already has too much of them.

"The principal effect, so far as we are concerned, of buying South American surpluses would be to increase the markets for United States goods. There is, of course, no need and no intent to dispose of these surpluses in countries which already have surpluses of like commodities." Without mention of any commodity, he addbd: "There are, however, deficiency areas which may have to be supplied."

Local Building lndustry Should Supplv Delense Housing, Says Foundation Chairman

The "Laurel" design (List No. A85BSB) is offered this week by Southern California Homes Foundation as the first in a new series of modern California small-home plans developed by the building industry of the Golden State. This group of designs has its source in the planning services of retail lumbermen in several localities.

"The Laurel and the other designs in this new series are examples of the California building industry's great progress in production facilities and materials during the past decad€," C. W. Pinkerton, Chairman of Southern California Homes Foundation, points out. "Building is a local industry. Local retail lumbermen form a key unit of the industry in every community. The local design services they have created are but one feature of their whole modern organized service to the consumer. This in turn has been geared in with the services of real estate merchants, building contractors, the building trades and other units of the typical local construction group that is prepared to 'supply everything to build anything.'

"Many California centers now face the suddenly risen probability of increase in the population of industrial employees for the defense program. The vacancy rate is generally much lower than it was in 19L7, when a similar situation demanded a great amount of emergency housing. The building industry then was not prepared to meet that demand adequately. It is fully prepared now. It has prepared itself at risk and sacrifice duriag depression years to cooperate effectively with the Federal Housing Administration in making the small home easy to own for the average family and in providing more house for the dollar than ever before.

"In California communities, large and small, there is no emergency housing demand that the local building industry cannot meet. Its local leaders are eager to rise to the emergency, not only as a matter of public duty, but to maintain the American way of home ownership that they have developed and made effective and safe for every family of stable income.

"We must not be panicked into deserting this way and

leaving the local supply of defense program housing to the chance that the mass slum-building and labor-camp construction of the 1917 emergency will be repeated in 1940. There were cases in 1917 of labor-camp beds being used in eight-hour shifts. Repetition of this can easily be avoided if the national program of defense housing is channeled through the ready and prepared local building industry units of the country."

Information and service on the Laurel may be had from local retail lumber dealers or from Southern California Homes Foundation, 441 Douglas Building, Los Angeles.
