Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, THAT 20. 1916. ' W. B. STRUBLE SAYS NAVAL BASE LIKELY Madam CoatesV Class B Will Meet Today at 3 o'Clock On the Seventh Floor li "LOOP THE LOOP" AIR GLIDER FREE TO CHILDREN ACCOMPANIED BY ADULT FIFTH FLOOR II IE Conditions in Washington Now Most Favorable, Asserts Committee Secretary. ADVERSE STORIES DENIED Tate of Proposed legislation De pends Upon Citizens Spurring On Congressmen Right Sow, " . Astorian Declares. Tou may say for me that any re ports, whether from Washington City or elsewhere, to the effect that the se curing of a naval base of the first class at or near the mouth of the Col umbia River at this session of. Con gress is impossible, are absolutely mis leading," said Wallace It. Struble, sec retary of the naval base committee, last night. "Moreover, whoever circu lates such reports is necessarly unin formed of the wonderful progress which our naval base committee has made in its campaign, both before Congress and the Naval Board. Our committee is abtoltuely in touch with the exact sit uation in Washington and. has informa tion from inside naval authorities and from many influential members of both branches of Congress to the effect that the Columbia naval base measures are In high favor and that victory Is not only possible but now probable. "It is, however, recessary that our entire delegation, both in the Senate and House, stand as a unit in their demand for these measures and upon their action In large measure depends the fate of the proposed legislation." continued Mr. Struble. "This is a time when united team work will accomplish something worth while for the Co lumbia basin and with this fact in view every citizen of Oregon and the Co lumbia basin should, exert his influ ence to the utmost in spurring on our Northwestern Congressional delega tions to action in this matter. ; The Navy Department recognizes the force of the arguments which have been, presented by our committee for the equipment of the Columbia River with a strong arm of the Navy; many lead ing members of Congress from states outside of the Northwest are pledging their support; the press of the Nation has printed the facts concerning the Columbia River from the standpoint of Its relation to National preparedness and now is the psychological moment for all our friends both in and out of Congress to stand firm and true." Both Chairman F. C. Harley and Secretary Struble emphatically say that at no time in the course of the naval base campaign has the question of politics, or the political fortunes of any candidate, been injected therein. "The entire Oregon delegation," said Mr. Struble. "from the -standpoint of partizanship. look alike to our com mittee. Our measures are neither political measures nor 'pork measures; they are patriotic and preparedness measures pure and simple and we have pledges from both branches of Con gress for the strong support of Demo crats and Republicans alike. Any per son who raises the question of poli 'tics is making a mistake." OREGON" DELEGATION SCORED F. C. Harley Says Senators Laughed at Naval-Base Plan. "The most strategical location on the entire Pacific Coast for a naval base of the first class is at the -mouth of the Columbia River and the official Government maps bear out this fact." declared K. C. Harley, chairman of the committee which is boosting for the establishment of a naval base at Astoria, in a speech yesterday before the Portland Realty Board. - Mr. Harley roundly criticised the Oregon delegation in Congress, partic ularly Senators Lane and Chamber lain, for what he declared to be lack of interest in the Astoria campaign. and also leveled criticism at other members of the Administration. "Unless the people of Oregon bear down on our delegation we will never get any farther than a promise," said Mr. Harley. "The Republican delega tion representing the State of Wash ington manages to get there, but the same credit cannot be given the Oregon delegation, which is supposed to be in the sympathy of the Administration. "When I put the cause of Astoria be fore the Oregon delegation at the first conference they had held at this ses sion of Congress, Senator Chamber lain laughed at me and treated our campaign as a joke and Senator Lane was even worse. Congressman Hawley disputed Senator Chamberlain and re marked that he had seen many a measure pass over the heads of the Ad ministration." Mr. Harley was introduced by O. W. Taylor, of the Gearhart Park Land Company. FAT NINE TO PLAY LEANS Transportation Club Teams Will Meet This Afternoon.
