headed by Secretary Mellon, to ex
tend the time of Interest payments
at its discretion. Senator Reed, dem
ocrat, Missouri, declared that he had
no doubt there was an "inside" to
this.
Senator Simmons, democrat. North
Carolina, suggested, and Senator
Heed agreed, that the deferment of
interest payments on the foreign debt
would enable the private holders In
this country of five billions of the
bonds of the allied nations to realize
on their Investment ahead of the
American government.
Cancellation la aaa-areated.
Senator Tteed also declared that if
the commission could defer Interest
payments for ten years, as he sa'd
one senator had suggested might be
done In the case of some countries,
there could be a cancellation of the
whole debt, as the accumulated In

debt.
The Missouri senator said that be
cause of "the environment" in which
Secretary Mellon had lived, Mr.
Mellon would be the "last man, save
one, in this country," to whom he
would grant the authority proposed.
The one exception, he added, was
"Morgan himself," explaining that
.T. P. Morgan & Co. had been the
financial agent In the United States
of the tilled nations during the war.
In this connection Senator Reed
read to the senate the names of vari
ous banks, trust companies and cor
porations in which he said Mr. Mellon
was interested, including the Alumi
num Company of America, which the
speaker described aa "an absolute
monopoly."

He added that these batiks and
trust companies were closely affili

which floated great loans for the
allies In this country before war was
declared on Germany.
Before Senator Reed launched his
attack on the bill there waa a debate
between Senators Lenroot. repub
lican, Wisconsin, and Walsh, demo
crat, Montana, as to the constitution

by Senator Williams, democrat, Mis

debt owed the United States by Bel-glum.

(fnflnuert From First Vpk
advised of tiie daily progress of the
drive. Mr. Wells admits that his de
vice is not only unusual but unique,
and that it cost him at least five
minutes' profound cogitation.
"Take the stretch from the United
States National bank to the Portland
hotel along Sixth street." explained
Mr. Wells. "AIL set? We'll mark it
off In spaces representive of 125.000
contributed to the chest, all the way
up to the hotel, or until the goal of
J7!i8,777 has been reached. That will

Traveling Ckurat Arranged.
"We have a tractor, housed over

to the finish. Each day at noon that
tractor, that chest, goes forward
Just as far as the contributions war

means so many thousands. And
every day, before she moves, we

so, as shouldn't."
The special features committee has
other plans, other novelties, up Its
guileful and capacious sleeve. These
it retains aa trump cards, as Inno
cent but effective secrets. In reserve
for critical campaign moments, .f

second chest crusade Is wha: is tech
nically described as a "bird."
2!tOO Employes Assemble.
At 6:45 yesterday afternoon the
2500 employes of the Meier & Frank
store, assembled on five floors, were
pledged to the community cause at
A rally supervised by Fred L. Carl
ton of the speakers' bureau. Cam
paign orators who addressed them
were E. M. Welch, N. R. Jacobson,
Kugene Brookings, Judge John H.
Stevenson and Hamilton Johnstone.
At the outset of the campaign Its
leaders are striving to impress the
publlo with the need for raising the
entire budget. Last year the cue.t
failed of Its full objective, with l?t
result that the funds then su(.pi'd
were sufficient for only nine months.
Contributors are urged to increase
their subscriptions, and all are urged
to invest, that the budget may be
financed to the last dollar, which is
quite as necessary as the first.
"We're In thia drive to put it
across." was the way that Colonel
Tommy Luke regarded the situation.
"It Isn't our drive any more than It
Is yours or that of your neighbor.
It Is Portland's community chut, and
Portland must fill it. Confideniially.
I may say that the old town acts as
though It would make a short Job of
the filling." '
Meeting la Enthustastlr.
By far Its most enthusiastic meet
ing this week was the flying squad
ron's luncheon yesterday In the Mult
nomah hotel ballroom, which pepped
up the squadroneers to a high degree
of confidence in the outcome of the
campaign.
At the request of Nathan Strauss,
a statement had been prepared show
ing how contributions In the present
drive compared with subscriptions by
the same donors last year. Adjutant-General
John Hartog submitted
this report showing that the same
contributors this year so far reached
are doing their share.
W. F. Woodward, in making his
report, said It waa evident that the
business community of Portland at
least is solid on the advantages of
the chest as against former methods
that have prevailed in other years in
handling the same work. He said
doubts expressed everywhere during
the last campaign by prospects and
contributors are noticeably lacking
club went pn record as unanimously
Indorsing, it as the approved way of
handling charitable enterprises of the
community. The Lions' club is a com
paratively new organization and this
unexpected action on its part was both
surprising and gratifying.
The club desired to set the pace for
all other luncheon clubs, and Dow V.
Walker, adjutant-general of the chest
campaign, who is a member of the
Lions, was present and brought a
big roll of greenbacks to campaign
headquarters following the meeting.
Officers Hold Meeting.
Officers of the campaign organiza
tion, assembled last night at the
White Temple, were exhorted' by
their commanders to preach the com
munity chest to Portland in such a
way that its massage cannot be mis
understood. Dow V. Walker, brig
adier-general, presided.
"This Is a burden Imposed upon
every man and woman by virtue of
their citizenship," declared Franklin
T. Grlffith.Spresident of the chest. "It
is a duty as well as a privilege.
"How many citizens of Portland
are aware that aid for 1800 ex-soldiers
of -Portland is Included in Miis
budget? That in this budget is an
appropriation of $40,000 for the sole
purpose of taking care of disabled
veterans?"
Benefactions Are Sketched.
Swiftly the speaker sketched the
list of the chest's benefactions- the
aid to baby homes, to the aged, to
scores of worthy charities, to Insti
tutions and organizations that mould
citizenship. Of homeless children he
said :
"It seems to me that this ought to
make an appeal greater than any
other. What difference does It make
from what source the infant sprang
the creed or race of its parents? If
you deny the right of these poor un
fortunates to life you are denying
the wisdom of the creator who put
them on earth."
President Griffith made it clear
that It Is not the purpose of the chest
to foster pauperism, but tltat in addi
tion to aiding those who cannot help
themselves, the organization finds
self-sustaining tasks for the fit.
"We save them their self-respect,"
he said, "by giving them the oppor
tunity to earn a living."
Other speakers were C. C. 4Colt,
brigadier-general: Edgar H. Sensen
ich, brigadier-general; S. L. Eddy,
brigadier-general; W. O. Munsell,
brigadier-general, and John T. Dou
gall, adjutant.
Amendment Intended to Prevent
Reconditioning Unless Con
gress Acts Is Rejected.
WASHINGTON. T. C. Jan. 17. The
house refused today to attach to the
independent offices appropriation
bill an amendment to prohibit the
shipping board from proceeding with
the reconditioning of the Leviathan
without obtaining an appropriation
from congress for the purpose.
Representative Graham, republican,
Illinois. offered the amendment,
which would have placed a $1,000,000
limitation on the amount the ship
ping board could expend for repairs
on any one shin without congres
sional authority. Refitting of the
Leviathan, it was said, probably
would cost at least $8,000,000.
The Graham proposal was rejected
by a viva voce vote, after the house
had adopted an amendment, offered
by Representative Ballinger. repub
lican, Massachusetts, to authorize
navy-yards to submit estimates for
the repair of shipping board vessels.
On a point of order by Representa
tive Byrnes, democrat. South Caro
lina, a provision continuing for an
other fiscal year the authority of the
board to retain for its own use
$55,000,000 derived from the sale of
its property was eliminated from the
bill.
During hearings before the appro
priation sub-committee, which framed
the measure. Chairman Lasker esti
mated that during the current fiscal
year the shipping board would derive
about $25,000,000 from this source and
asked that tho extension be granted,
so the remaining $30,000,000 could be
obtained as the liquidation process
continues. Mr. Byrnes held that the
continuing provision was a' legisla
tive section which had no place in
any appropriation bilL
When the house adjourned late to
day it had before it an amendment
by Mr. Byrnes, limiting to $400,000
the amount the shipping board could
spend on publicity and advertising
during the coming fiscal year.
Budget estimates call for an expendi
ture of about $900,000.
During debate on various amend
ments, the shipping board was com
mended by Chairman Madden of the
appropriations committee, who de
clared it was functioning satisfac
torily and would in the very near
future be. able to make a creditable
showing in its operations.
The bill, which in addition to funds
for the shipping board carries ap
proximately $377,000,000 for the vet
erans' bureau, probably will come to
a vote in the houue tomorrow.
BABIES GROWING SCARCE
Prohibition and Modern Woman

CHICAGO, Jan. 27. Prohibition and
what he termed the "Independent at

America for the first time Is unable

an address at the league's middle
western conference tonight.
"If you want a baby for adoption,
get one now, for soon you won't be
able to," he said.
"There are reWer oabies being born
in the better class homes because of
the Independent attitude of modern
women. After a girl has been mar
ried a while, however, she realizes
there? is something missing in her
home. Then she turns to adoption as
the easiest way out. but finds prohi
bition nas so decreased the number
of dependent babies by improving
conditions in the lower class homes
that the demand far exceeds the
supply."
