President Says United States Can
Best Help Preserve Country
by Keeping Outside
Agreement
WASHINGTON, March 22. Presi
dent Wilson's recent statement with
drawing the aid of this government
from what was popularly known as
the "six-power loan'' means the re
tirement of the United States from
participation in Far Easjtern . diplo
macy. The President talked today about
China informally with some of his
callers, among them George Bronson
Rea, technical secretary of the rail
way committee empowered by the
Chinese government to construct 10,
000 miles of trunk railways in China.
Mir. Rea explained to the President
that . without the aid of the United
States government American carpital
had been enlisted in the railway en
terprise, but that it was desirable to
know how far the United States would
go in protecting what Mr. Rea term
'ed "honorable contracts between
American business men and the Chi
nese government" independent of
political connection.
The President asked Mr. Rea to
prepare and submit to him a memor
andum and promised to study the
question carefully. Mr. Rea pointed
out that the objectionable features of
the six-power loan project, to which
China herself had objected, were
those which concerned the imperial
administration of China and that his
relations with Sun Yat Sen and the
Chinese Republic were such that he
knew the action of President Wilson
had met with approval in China.
Mr.,Wilson indicated that the devel
opment of the administration's policy
toward China would be gradual and
well measured, that there was no in
tention of withdrawing the potential
influence for protection which this
government has exerted in respect of
China, and that the Wilson adminis
tration would., make a vigorous effort
to promote American trade interests
in the Orient.
The President's viewpoint was that
the United States would be in a far
better position to help preserve the
integrity of China uy remaining out
side of any particular agreements
which might have for their object a
voice in China's political future than
by actual participation.

PRESIDENT
PANAMA CANAL AN AMAZING WORK
East and South are Lauded but Trav
eler Declares Oregon Is
Best State of
All
"Business conditions in all parts of
the United States I visited .were
about all that could be expected",
said Charles H. Caufield, President
of the Bank of Oregon City, who with
Mrs. Caufield, returned Saturday
night from a trip through the East,
Middle West, South, Cuba, Canada
and Panama. "The business men
and financiers, so far as I could
learn, do not expect a financial de
pression during the Wilson administration.-
As a matter of fact they re
gard the new President as a safe
man and believe he will make a great
chief executive. Of course they real
ize he lacks experience, but a man
of the ability he has shown, it is be
lieved, will make few mistakes."
Mr. Caufield himself is optimistic
regarding conditions and believes
the country is on the eve of an era
of great prosperity. It was his first
extended trip outside of Oregon, and,
although glad to get home, he pays
glowing tributes to the East and
South.
"We left here February 2," said
Mr. Caufield, "and we have been on
the go ever since. We went to New
Orleans first and had a fine time
there. The Southern metropolis is
a great city, and is growing rapidly.
Then we went to Panama and look

James Partlow, "Popcorn King", of
Oregon City is a hero today. The pop
corn wagon of Mr. Partlow caught
fire twice Saturday, and, althouph
threatened with destruction both
times, the nlnckv owner remained
with his gasoline engine until he had
stopped the leaks. The roof and

fire, and Mr. Partlow was twice en
veloped in flames, but the "Popcorn
King" did not flinch. .
The first blaze started about 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Part
low immediately discovered the
cause of the trouble, and, although
his wagon which cost $1,200, seemad
doomed, and an explosion seemed
imminent, he remained at his post
until he found the leak and stopped
it. Then he extinguished the blaze
in the interior with wet rags and with
the assistance of a friend, after a
hard fight, extinguished the blaze in
the top of the wagon. Meanwhile he
was bombarded with flakes which
came from all directions. The first
blaze damaged the wagon to the ex
tent of $10 and the popcorn loss was
about $5.
The proprietor had the gasoline
tank repaired, and he thought his
troubles had ended-,- but not so. Just
