HUGHES ' WAS AUTHOR
Treaty Declared "A Treaty for Peace
Not for. War," By Democratic
Leader Underwood.
In reply to the bevy of "irreconcil
ables," who for the most part are try
ing to defeat the Arms conference
treaties, Senator Oscar Underwood,
democratic leader and one of the five
delegates to the conference declared
that the Four-Pact treaty is NOT AN
ALLIANCE, but that if it were, an
alliance, he would vote for it anyway
as it is a TREATY FOR PEACE, not
for war.
This declaration was made to dem
ocrats' as well as to republicans, who
for the purpose of the treaty's defeat
had grilled the senator with insult
ing insinuations of an English-Japanese
coup to the belittling of American
statesmen in the conference. His
Questioners, Glass, Reed of Missouri,
Walsh, Montana, Robinso nand Wat
son of Georgia, indulged in questions
concerning "who wrote the treaty;"
"why wasn't it. given out before;"
and insinuated that it had been in
spired by the Japanese'and the Eng
lish and that it was an alliance un
favorable to the United States. What
difference it makes who wrote it or
what kind of paper it was written on
on, these opponents did. not make
clear. Nor did they shake Under
wood in his determined loyalty to the
treaty. And he warned them, that
defeat of this treaty would mean a re
enactment of the old, Anglo-Japanese
alliance which was . menace to this
country and whose dissolution has
been brought about by this treaty.
Secretary Hughes in a letter to
Senator Underwood, says that the sec
retary himself wrote the draft of the
treaty after Japan and England had
agreed to make France a party to. it.
That it had then, been approved by
thg American delegation an J later ap
proved by all the delegates in plen
ary session after its import and lim
itation had been explained.. Later
the mainland of Japan was excluded.
These closing paragraphs of Sec
retary Hughes' letter explains i a
straightforward, consise language the
purpose and import of the treaty.
"There is not the slightest mystery
about the treaty or basis for suspic-.
ion regarding it It is a straight
forward document which attains one
' of the most important objects the
American government has had in view
and is of the highest importance to
the maintenance of friendly relations
in the far east upon a sound basis. As
the president recently said Fin his
communication to the senate, it is an
essential part of the p lan to create
conditions ia the far east at once
favorable to the maintenance of the
policies we have long advocated and
to an enduring peace.
"In view of this, and in view of
the relation of the treaty to the re
sults of the conference, its failure
would be nothing short of a national
calamity."
And while the nation prays for any
progress toward peace, the adminis
tration must fight to win the first
real step in advance toward this ob
ject Chapter P. P. E. O. Meets.
Chapter P. P. E. O. met at the
home of Mrs. Arthur Beattie on Tues
day afternoon. The chapter voted
to give $10 to the state W. C. T. U.
farm home.
The following delegates were elect
ed to the state convention, which
meets in Portland in May.
President-delegate, Mrs. John Ris
ley. President-alternate, Mrs. J. E. Jack.
Regular delegate, Mrs. H. W.
Paine.
Delegate alternate, Mrs. J. F.
Clarke. Mrs.
Knizel of Portland, gave an excellent
paper on Ireland of today. The dec
orations of the Beattie home were
shamrocks and flags. Delicious re
freshments were served to the fol
lowing members of chapter P.:
Mesdames J. E. Jack, Wm. Andre
sen, Harry Paine, Orel Welch, John
Oatfield, D. L. Meldrum, E. W. Scott,
Chas. Caufield, Raymond Caufield,
Kinzel and Miss Roberta Schuebel.
Mrs. Underdahl Passes
The funeral of Mrs. L." Underdahl
(nee Miss Kate Freeze) who died in
Portland Sunday morning was held at
the Finley undertaking parlors, Tues
day afternoon, and was very largely
attended. Many friends from Oregon
City attended. The floral tributes
were many and very beautiful. Rev.
W. T. Millikeh of Salem officiated.
Mrs. Underdahl had a host of friends
and she also leaves to mourn her loss
her husband, Dr. Underdahl and little
son, Harold, her mother and father,
Mr. and Mrs. Freeze and a Bister,
Miss Edith Freeze of Oregon City.
John Frederick Mason, formerly
head of the English department of the
Oregon City high school, has been
appointed to a position as field sec
retary to Linfield college. . He was
formerly instructor In English in Ore
gon, City, McMJnnville and Eugene
high schools.
Mr. Mason is an entertainer of high
standing and has given programs over
the state.
.His new work will be to visit the
various high schools in the interest
of the college.. Linfield is the name
of the well-known and highly efficient
Baptist institution located at McMinn
ville. This new secretary is always pop
ular with students and audiences and
will no doubt, win to the school strong
support.
The new position is one for which
Mr. Mason is particularly adapted.
and in it the BannerCourier wishes
him and the college the fullest suc
cess.

son, of the Raymond Apartments,
3016 First Avenue, Seattle. For yes
terday was the fifty-ninth wedding

he was well known, and established
as a cattle rancher and a stock man.
They have six children, five boys
and one girl, all of whom are living,
and five grandchildren.
Mr. Johnson is eighty-two and Mrs.
Johnson is seventy-five. Both are
hale and hearty and enjoying living
to the utmost. Mr. Johnson Walks to
and from town every, day, a distance
of nearly, three miles.
He came to Oregon City when four
years of age, and has resided in Ore
gon continually, except the last three
years. When a child he had snow
white hair, like that of Dr. McLaugh
lin, whom the Indians called "Old
Man Doctor." So they called him ten-
as-old-man-doctor. The children are
Geo. F. Johnson, Oregon City, Ed B.
Johnson, Portland, Mrs. Jessie Clark
and Glen A. Johnson of Seattle, By
ron C. Johnson of Hood River, and
John F. Johnson of Ellensburg, Wash.

Help to Overcome
The Legion Crisis
To put 700,000 ex-soldiers into jobs
is the American Legion's immediate
objective, according to an announce
ment from Legion national headquar
ters. To accomplish this, a nation
wide drive will be launched from lo
cal posts in every city and town in
the country on March 20, and em
ployers and business men will be cal
led into conference to devise ways
and means of creating jobs and put
ting an end to a situation which Han
ford MacNider, legion ' commander,
has called "the greatest crisis in the
legion's history. -
Civic organization's from Maine to
California have been asked to swing
into line to back up the legion and
make a concerted effort which will
be felt in all sections of the coun
try. By stimulating industry, by
pushing engineering Nprojects and mu
nicipal development, by speeding up
public utility enterprises, roadbuild
ing, paving, dredging, truck garden
ing, reforestation and reclamation,
and by encouraging the "back to the
farm" movement, the legion hopes to
break the labor slump which has kept
worthy men out of work and caused
widespread distress. Each city will
be divided into regions, each under
its own post and employment commit
tee, with a general committee coord
inating the efforts of all.
Womans' Club Gives
, School Program
Public School day at the Woman's
club Thursday afternoon, proved one
of the most popular events of the
year. The address by jounty super
intendent Vedder on "Consolidated
Schools" revealed to many for the
first time the vast extent of this
movement over the entire United
States. Everywhere the little one
roomed red echoolhouse of our fathers
is giving way to up-to-date union
schools with all the advantages f
modern equipment and trained teach
ers. City Superintendent Kirk gave
a comprehensive view of "The Public
School as a Social Center," for train
ing, not only in BChool books, but in
morals and citizenship. He gave cre
dit to the new gymnasium for a mark
ed decrease in juvenile delinquency
and " that tests there made it impos
sible for a boy to be a cigarette smok
er, in fact no cmoker can hope to
make his grades and graduate, it so
weakens and destroys mental activity.
He spoke in high praise of the splen
did young men and women nbw gath
ered in the Oregon City schools, about
1400 of them at present
Superintendent Kirk was followed
by a violin quartet from the high
school consisting of Misses Catherine
Davis, Mildred Hull, and Kathryn
Kirk, led by Mrs. William Stone.
At the request of the federated
clubs, several petitions were signed
for international control of opium and
other narcotics. Also the club put
itself on record as ready for jury duty
unless impossible to serve.
A silver tea at the close" netted
$12.50 for the scholarship loan fund.

Paterson Offers Bran New
Planks of Economy
And Effort
WOULD CUT SALARIES
Favors Abolishment of Public Service
Commission; Would Consolidate
State Offices.
The last candidate for the govern
orship to announce himself is Sena
tor I. L. Patterson, republican. His
platform promises strict economy, a
ten per cent reduction in state ex
penditures, the abolition of the pub
lic service commission, and conlida
tion of state offices, v
If the senator who is a farmer of
Polk county, and well and favorably
known throughout the state, makes a
thorough campaign on this platform,
it is the consensus of opinion that he
will be a formidable opponent Here
is, in part, his announcement:
He favors ,a government without
frills; a cut in the governor's salary
to $5000 and other state officials' pay
to a pre-war basis, and that no sal
ary shall be raised in state, county
or municipality during the- period of
the incumbent's term.
Promises an investigation into the
expenses of- state institutions with a
view to reducing the number of em
ployees to the requirements of neces
sity and the pay to that of private ser
vice. . .
The eight or ten branches of state
offices now in Portland, he would con
solidate in one place and thus save
ixpense, and add to public conveni
ence. The state owned autos should
be reduced in number and used for
s:ate business only.
He objects to further increases in
tax on autos or gasoline; would abol
ish the public service commission and
demands for the farmer fair and just
treatment.
He is against tax-free and other
kinds -of bonds under present condi
tions and promises at least a ten per
cent reduction in state expenditures;
will build up no political machine and
will not seek re-election.
The following expressive lines adL
orned a page of the Call last week.
A reader of the Banner-Courier, who
evidently sees more humor in the sit
uation of the pall just now than its
stockholders see, hands in the follow
ing reply:
"The BaHner-Courier reminds me of
the old ship
"That sot and heaved,
And heaved and sot,
And high her rudder flung;
And every time she heaved and sot,
A bigger leak she sprung."
From the "Producers' Call."
(Under new Management.)
. Reply.
As others see it:
If the Banner-Courier "heaved and
sot"
And "flung her rudder high,"
Her decks still show no signs of rot,
Like crafts she has passed by.
She has made Port through fog and
gale,
And braved the sudden squall;
Then why, the need to reef a sail?
For the lackey on the Call.
it our good ship has "sprung a
leak?"
A surprise the message sends;
The hint may guide her Skipper's
course,
From tongues ljos at both ends,
N. B. A report just received states
that while floundering at sea the crew
of the Producers' Call mutinied; that
Capt. Stallard was thrown overboard.
Brown is between decks in chaine;
tried to gag him, but failed. When
she is towed into port she will be
drydocked and fumigated and when
pronounced sea-worthy again, Frank
S. Meyers, of Portland, will assume
command as skipper. She will then
go into the fishing trade expecting to
actch more suckers -in Multnomah
county than she succeeded, in catch
ing in Clackamas.
Oak Lodge Water
District Is Voted
Five precincts including territory
located between the Willamette Riv
er, the Oatfield Road, Gladstone and
to Milwaukie voted on Tuesday the
formation of a water district to be
named the Oak Lodge Water District
The majority favorable to incorpora
tion was about 10 to 1.
The precincts included are Milwau
kie Heights, Concord, Jennings Lodge,
and Oak Grove 1, and 2.
It is predicted that it will be about
one year before water will be turned
into the mains. The cost will prob
ably be in excess of $100,000. -- The
sources of supply will be Bull Run.
The commission elected to have
charge of the proposition is John R.
Oatfield, Henry Olson, and Henry
Babler.

The administration is preparing to
keep the wheels of industry swag and
the transportation system in opera
tion if the threatened coal strike
shall be pulled off on April 1.
A definite program has been decid
ed upon by the chief executive and
the cabinet This is to furnish fuel
even if the miners must be supervis
ed by the government itself. This
harks back to the days of Roosevelt
who, when a tie-up occurred in the
winter when life itself depended up
on the (continuous output of coaL
served ultimatums in very plain
terms that if the operators and men
didn't get. together within a few
hours, the government itself would
operate said mines and they "Got
together" eveu without the labor
board.
The penalty, immediate, for refusal
to work or arbitrate wouli be to tie
up strike benefit funds. But if the
operators will not yield to arbitration
or the orders of the labor board,
what then the answer should and no
doubt will be government operation
and control.

with the result that more petitions
are- now in circulation. T he addition
al number of names required before
filing with the county clerk to insure
the measure a place on the tfallot is
about 700.
It is expected that the names will
be secured and the petitions ready be
fore March 19th which is the last day
for filing for the May primary. It
will be necessary for the circulators
to see that everyone who signs the
petitions is registered warns the
committee.

land and This City
WISE USE OF LOANS
Clackamas County Board of Apprais
ers Are at Work Over the
County Each Day J
The Board of Appraisers World
War Veterans, consisting of E. P.
Dedman, Clackamas; H. C. Stevens,
Estacada and William Logus, Oregon
City are hard at work appraising pro
perties upon which the veterans de
sire loans. The Board is able to com
plete from 3 to 5 assessments per
day and have enough applications on
file to keep busy for a month at least.
Some .of the loans will be closed next
week it is hoped.
The state commission at Salem is
speeding up matters in every possible
way. The regular procedure is: (1)
Petition is made for the loan; (2)
Applications are granted or rejected;
(3) Blanks are filled out for the loans
on particular pieces of property; (4)
Appraisal is made, title is passed on
and the commission at Salem, grants
the loan.
There have been no loans up to
this week, in Oregon, but 50 applica
tions have been passed on favorably.
This means the distribution of about
$125,000.00.
The greater part of the money is
going into loans on new homes.
There are eight applications fok-
loans on Oregon City property. The
largest proportion Is on property, lo
cated parallel to the P. R. L. & P.
railroad between this city and Port
land:
It is evident that the ex-service
men are making wise use of this aid
and the state should be glad of this
opportunity to make good in this way
a part of the obligation due them.
