THE PORTLAND CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE
With the frank avowal that they came here to get!
business from Alaska, members of the Portland !
Chamber of Commerce by their very frankness cre
ated a good impression at the community dinner at
which they were guests Monday night.
They were a pleasant, interested and interesting
group of men and women. The Juneau people who
met them, liked them. It will not be difficult to do
business with them.
However, we refuse to join the cry thr\t Alaska
is being exploited by Seattle just because some people
attempt to promote the thought.
As for Alaskans doing business with Seattle or
Portland that we believe will take care of itself. We
will do business where we are known, where we can
get credit. At the present time we in Alaska have
little to sell. When we have pulp mills and manu
! facture newsprint we will welcome the market Marshall
Dana, Portland Journal editor, said was awaiting us
there.
We have little to sell? Well, we have our scenery
and Alaska as a tourist area.
We welcome Oregonians to Alaska. They are kind
about our rain.
STATEHOOD AND SENATOR BUTLER
^ast week. Senator Butler presented his minority
report against statehood for Alaska. Regarding this,
the Ketchikan News says: Those who tried to get the
original Statehood bill through at any cost can hardly
pose as working for the best interests of Alaska. Even
so, some uninformed people thought they were advo
cating the best interests of the Territory.
In the forefront of the drive, however, are those
who are far more concerned with politics and political
control then they are about the future of Alaska. It
is now known generally that to have passed the
original bill, dictated by the Interior Department,
would have been nothing less than • an industrial
tragedy. ■<:>,.
Fortunately necessary amendments were made.
But even so some of the amendments are still open to
question.
We want to compliment Senator Hugh Butler of
Nebraska on his minority report in Congress. As he
says the resources of this Territory are insufficiently
developed to bear the extra cost of statehood; es
pecially under the mounting tax program of the
present political machine. The Senator proposes that
we be given authority at once to elect our own Gov
ernor. which will be a big forward step for eventual
statehood, and that less Federal control be exercised
over the affairs of the Territory with more self auton
omy. We for one, do not want g quickie, rpachine
dictated statehood at any price,,: but lasting state
hood' safeguarding the best interests, of the Tecriory
and its citizens, which is bound to. beccme a great
commercial empire.
We hope and believe there are 'enough other
thinking Senators in Congress like Senator Butler
who will be guided by tradition of American states- ,
manship and who will see to it that it will be com
patible'to the welfare of' the individual as well , as
the industries of this Territory rather than a bill-lor
grinding the present-day political axes. 1
Business seldom expands by magic — it usually
grows because somebody with brains is w'orking.

WlU Was the Mar?
When tjiis: colunftn revealed in
1946 that ''fcbpmas had been spec-"
ulating the: cotton market
through his wife. Use senator's
reply was: “Pearson is a liar."
Two yeJ(P®RP^3Hfciary, 1948®
an official ^ report by the Agricul
tural Department showed Mrs.
Thomas was “300 bales long" on
cofton in '“July, 0.946. Therefore.
Senator Thomas suddenly reversed
himself and decided to teH the
truth. >tr „V : ,
"I have on the long side
of cotton &ijF>rs*tpy yearajJ he. $otd
the Unified5' PressC Then]' appar
ently forgetting the "liar" charge
and his previous efforts at con
cealment, he added: ‘‘My deal
ings are open and aboveboard. I
have nothing to hide. From time
to time I have turned money over
to Dyke Cullum and asked him to j
invest in cotton for me.”
Incidentally, the Agriculture De
partment’s official report also
showed that Thomas’s broker, Dyke
Cullum, was long 500 bales; that
his campaign manager Marty Hef
lin, held 400 bales; that Ralph
Moore, another speculating crony,
was long 1,90ft' bales! and that Miss
Beth Gagej the senator's secretary,
was also in jijie market, Miss Gage
is the secretary Who caused Thom
as to thnj&eifit a.. Senate investiga
tion of tlyij-' U. S. Lines when she
could not’get* a.-4ater&*0 t0,4er,

ator to Europe, in, 1946.
' — 1; r**"
Gets ‘Caught ‘on Cotton
Some people might not worry too
much about a senator’s buying
commodities il it were not for the
fact that Thomas used his official
position and his inside informa
tion to influence the market.
For instance, it has been shown
above that the senator’s family and
friends were ‘long" on cotton in
1946. They were holding for a fur
ther rise in price. But in October,
1946. instead of rising further, the
cotton market broke, causing Mrs.
Thomas to lose her contemplated
profit of $12,000. Other Thomas
speculators lost varying amounts.
Immediately there came a cry of
pain and'! anguish from the sen
ator from Oklahoma. The drop in
the price of cotton, he said, must
be officially investigated. Hit
where it hurt most, his pocket
book. Thomas sent indignant tele
grams to the heads of the cotton
exchanges and the Secretary of
Agriculture, claiming a “bear raid."
"There has been a definite and
well-laid plan among cotton ex
changes, cotton brokers and their
clients," Thomas protested. And
since he was chairman of the Sen
ate agriculture committee, his word
carried weight.
Thomas also threatened further
legislation to control cotton prices.
But in none of his indignant tele
grams did.he breathe the fact that
his wife, his secretary, his cam
paign manager, and his own per
sonal brokers had lost heavily in
the break/ in the cotton market.
Actually there was no bear raid,
nor anything else wrong with the
cotton market, except that prfce
had soared too high and the Thom
as group got caught.
- ,
Ten Carloads of Eggs j
Since then the senator from j
Oklahoma hits tried to tell farmers 1
that he was only trying to keep
their prices up. What he has hot
told them is that he also spec
ulates on various other commodities (
—wheat, beans, eggs, even,. silver— j
and that sometimes he has worked
just ag hard to bring prices down.
In the Call of 1949, ior instance,,
the sBiator from Oklahoma wanted
the price of eggs to drop. In fact,
ije vgpittcj e^s .w .coiha.down, jurti
as ardently as he had previously
wanted the price of cotton to go up.
Most farmers in Oklahoma who.
raise chickens want egg prices to
stay up. but not their ..enator in
Washington, ,
There was a good reason for
Thomas's position on eggs, though
he'did not tel), anyone in • Okla
homa' about it. His broker, Dyke
Cullum, had bought 10 carloads of
eggs—short. In brief, he was com
mitted to deliver 10 carloads of
eggs on the futures market, and
if the price went down, the sen
ator and his broker made money.
So the senator proceeded to
bombard the Agriculture Depart
ment with letters and ideas for I
bringing down the price of eggs;
also wrote a letter to Sen. Clinton
Anderson of New Mexico, chairman
of an agriculture subcommittee,
asking him to investigate the price
support of eggs.
T am taking the liberty of re
ferring two bills to your subcom
mittee for consideration and re
port,” Thomas wrote Anderson..
“Tl|e.se bills are S1751, a bill to
amend the commodity exchange
apt, add S 2482,. a Ml to repeal the
mandatory price support authority,
for Irish potatoes and eggs for the'
balance of the current year, 1949.’
Thomas went on to give his own
ideas on eggs, but at no place in
his letter did he intimate that he
and his broker had a personal,
pocketbook interest to the tune of
10 carloads of eggs. In brief, what
the senator w'as doing was using
the investigative machinery of the
U. S. Senate and his prestige as
chairman of the Senate agriculture
committee to influence a commo
dity in which he had made a per
sonal investment.
He knew, of couise, that the
mere announcement of an egg in
vestigation by the Senate was likely
to send down the price ' of eggs,
following which he and Dyke Cul
lum could deliver their 10 carloads
at a profit.
Thus has the senator from Oki*a
homa despite 25 years in the high
est legislative body in the world,
used that body for his own per
sonal pecuniary profit.
Note—the 10 carloads were pur
chased through the William Hager
ty Grain Corporation in Chicago
' in the name of the National Cc*i
modity Corp., the concern which
Dyke Cullum set up to cover his
and Senator Thomas’s speculations.
Cullum himself appeared on the
floor of the Chicago Exchange and
placed the 10-carload egg order i
with broker Ralph Root of the j
Hagerty firm.
