The London naval conference last year lasted three months; the Washington conference in 1921-22 somewhat less.

Davis has been the most "reslsnrd" official In the government for the National Guard Shows Progress During the Year SALEM, Ore. W) "A highly' satis factory and most gratifying year in every respect" was the closing com- , ment of Major General George A. i White, commander of the Oregon na tional guard. In discussing the prog ress of the state military forces in an exclusive Interview with the Asso? elated Press today. Oregon still maintains its position at the head of the list of all of the states In the union In the matttr of relative strength. General White said. The exact numerical strength Is 211 commissioned officers. 3 war- j rant officers and 2842 enlisted men. ; In addition to this active force, the j national guard reserve numbers 65 commissioned officers and 014 en listed men. Tactically, the Oregon troops are organized into one complete brigade of infantry, one regiment of field artillery, one regiment of coast ar tillery, headquarters and headquar ters detachment of the 41st division. field hospital company and a staff corps. Recruiting and attendance at drill problems which caused concern dur ing the formative stages of tho na tional guard after the World war. are practically non-existent now, General White said. The attendance records show that during 1931 the rating for the Oregon national guard was approximately 00 per cent. Dur ing the camp of field instruction held last June at Camp Clatsop and Port Stevens, the attendance record reached the unparalleled record of 08.9 per cent. Throughout the year with the ex ception of tho 15 days spent in the field camp, every officer and man of the national guard is required to 1 attend drill once each week for one and one-half hours duration. In I addition, the officers and non-commissioned officers are required to spend several hours each week in in tensive study. The curriculum of the schools of the Oregon national guard is said to. cover practically every phase and problem In the study of armed conflict, from the basic es sentials of the recruit soldier to the intricate maneuvers of divisions and army corps in the field. i When the Oregon national guard closed Its account with the federal treasury Dec. 31 the ledger disclosed that olmost 3500,000 In federal funds had been expended in 1931 within the boundaries of the state. More than half of this amount was in the form of pay to the members of the national guard for services performed by them at armory drills and during the camp of field instruction. Another Item amounting to well over 850,000 went to Oregon mer chants for foodstuffs and supplies, and another sizeable piece of this revenue went to Oregon contractors for Installations at Camp Clatsop.

Dawes, chairman of the United States Tlele gatlon to the coming .general disarmament conference at Geneva. That Dawes is no "pussyfeoter" Is shown by these blasts from his fiery tongue: "The history of this war (World war) will be written" around achieve ments, not shoulder straps. There are too many ptnheads throwing mud." "If you men (a rougrcKslmuil war Invest gallon committee) would .spend more tlm tryliiR to sleni the million, of wnsle going on under your noses, we wiuihl have tt hell of it lot heller government." "To further the ideal of comradeship as opposed to force as arbiter between notions Is to further the hope of peace and progress and happi ness of all humanity." ' "It Is unthinkable thai Ureal Itrllulu ami the I'nlted States, sol emnly pledged t; the principle of equality, will ngnln place upon ' their people the luinlen of coiiipetltlvr nav;;l building because tem porarily Ihelr rApcrt.H disagree In their practical Interpretation of principle." (At the dedication of the new pence bridge In 1!27 over the Maguni river.) "One who is Inclined to believe that economists and technicians, claim ing to be guided in their intellectual voyages by the stors and compasses and hleh lighthouses of fixed principles, never compromise as do the alleged unworthy politicians, is lacking in experience in international negotiations." "Intrrnatlnnal muni reduction U task the successful accom plishment of which requires co-operative employment of two dis tinctly unreined talents (lint or naval technical experts and of statesmen."
