UNITY IN CHINA MAY BE
RESULT OFWAR, CLAIM
Dean of Economics, St. John
University, China, Gives
Talk at Episcopal Session.
Declaring Americans in general la
boring under a misconception concern
ing the conditions in China, Charles F.
Remer, dean of the school of econom
ics, St. Johns University, Shanghai.
China, Monday night addressed the
conference of the Episcopal Summer
school being held for the first year at
Gladstone. '
"The civil war is in reality two wars
within a war," he said. "It is a -war
between north and south and a war
within, each faction. - The result can
not be forecasted with accuracy, but
it is the general hope that out of con
flict will grow unity in China and the
reversion to the government that ob
tained in 1912."
Diplomatic Task Is Faced
China, he pointed out, is facing a
diplomatic task in the working out of
the purchase of the former German
owned property which has been turn
ed over to Japan through the post wa
agreements. The sale of this property
to China is pendiihg and a commission
headed by Dr. C. T. Wong is at work
assessing the actual value. A confer
ence between the powers shortly in
Pekin will arrive at the actual settle
ment. There has been much talk of
a $30,000,000 payment, and Dr. Remer
points out that this does not include
the entire affair, but only the railroad
rights. The total, he declares, is to
be valued at about $100,000,000.
Dr. Remer. who is also contributing
editor to the monthly Review of the
Far East, described the work of St.
Johns university and the other schools
which are built around it. The stud
ent body, mainly Chinese, is at "pres
ent 550 and numbers among its alumni
some of the most prominent Chinese
diplomats, including such men as W.
W. Yen, ex-minister of foreign affairs,
Alfred Sze, delegate to the Disarma
ment conference, and Wellington Koo,
delegate to the Paris conference.
School is of Great Help
The school itself, called Van Waung
Doo by the Chinese, has been a tre
mendous factor in the educational
work in the orient, said Dr. Remer.
Among its most active departments
are those of business administration
and economics, of which Dr. Remer is
in active charge.
Professor Remer at the Woman's
Auxiliary conference today will speak
on the work of the church among the
Chinese women, and the auxiliary has
extended an invitation to anyone in
terested to attend. The session will
be at the auditorium at three o'clock.

con J. C. Black, in charge of the con

Molalla Avenue
Pavement to Be
Placed at Once
The improvement of Molalla avenue
from the Beerlin store to, the city
limits was ordered by the city coun
cil at a special meeting Saturday
night.
A hard surface improvement, con
sisting of 6 inch concrete 16 feet in
width, will be laid. The improvement
is to be completed this summer.
Under the '.aw, because Molalla av
enue is a main highway artery, the
improvement cannot be assessed to
the property and the only way for the
city to handle it is to make a "perma
nent repair." The city recorder has
been instructed to advertise for bids
for the improvement and the action
will require no further consideration
from the council, but will be wholly
in the hands of the street committee.
Finances Are Provided
The improvement will be financed
through the use of road funds which
Clackamas county has credited to Or
egon City. These funds will be turn
ed over to the city in the near future
and used to complete the breach in
the pavement, nearly a mile, between
the end of the hard surface at Bever
lin'a stnr fn whern the COuntV Dave-
ment begins.
The matter of the improvement was
nresented to the council by the street
committee, and immediate action was
urged by all of the councilmen. There
was no dissention to the improvement.
Plans for the construction have been
completed by City Engineer J. R
Stafford. An ordinance for tae improvement
of John Adams street Jrom Seventh
to Ninth by nine inch macadam to
the full widTh, was passed on, first
reading. Ordinances for the vacation
of the alley in Block 46, County Addii
tion, were passed. The street super
intendent was instructed to repair a
number of cross walk in the city
which are in dangerous condition,
Bridges, Metzner and Cross protesting
against the condition of a number, of
them throughout the town. The ini
tial ordinance for the hardsurfacing ot
the alley in Block 4, next to the I. O.
O. F. hall on Main street, was passed,
j A six inch concrete pavement is or-
dered.-
The first reading of an ordinance
establishing Sewer District 14. at the
head of Seventh street, between Divi
sion and Willamette streets was
passed.
Bonds to be Sold
The sale of $9,322.43 in bonds under
the Bancroft act to cover the unpaid
porTions of improvements on 12th, 8th,
6th streets, the 6th street sewer and
alley in Block 24 was ordered. Bids
for the sale of these securities will
be asked.
Communications from the state
highway commission relative to their
action on the South End road were
read, advising the council that the
contracts had been temporarily with
held pending the settlement of the
route through the city. There was no
discussion, but a unanimous vote was
given that the council meet with the
commission, as requested, a"t any
date which the commission might
name to further consider the matter.
