telegram a most malignant attempt to
distort the truth for tb. purpos. of

Tbe American Government Is accused
of holding up five Dutch ships laden
with food for Bwltaerland for months
and finally requisitioning thsm. Tb.
semi-official comment continues that
the American Government then sug
gested that these, ships might be per
mitted to sail, but only under tb
American flag. Tb Swiss government
requested Germany to grant safe con
duct, notwithstanding tb enemy flag.
The German naval authorities opposed
this, but proposed provisioning Swlta
erland by safeguarding special ship
ping service ships, which should be
protected as much as possible from
incidents wltu th German naval forces
by a distinguishing mark. They could
not guarantee, however, that orders
would Immediately reach all naval

that the United Stales Government

Treaty Forced on Ronmania Said to
Be 'No Peace by Understanding;.
Ex-Roumanian Minister - to
France Mourns Agreement.
LONDON, May 12. Considerable criti
cism is being heard. In Germany and
Austria regarding the peace treaty of
Bucharest. The Leipzig vols; eitung
says:
"Altogether this treaty is no peace
by understanding, but a pur. mailed
flat peace. It contains open annexation
and concealed war indemnities which
hav. to b. paid. Its economic prom
ises ar. no less burdening for Rou
mania than as if money indemnities
had been imposed."
The Vienna Neus Wiener Tageblatt
warns Austrlans against seeing in the
conclusion of peace an act of "senti
mental reconciliation and thinks that
Roumanla concluded it because she was
forced to and because she hopes for a
complete reversal at the world's peace
congress.
VICHY. France. May 12. Victor An
tonesco, ex-Roumanian Minister to
France, who recently resigned, showed
deep emotion when the Associated Press
correspondent submitted to him the text
of the treaty or Bucharest, which he
had not seen.
'Such a treaty means the crushing
or ttoumama politically and economi
cally," h said. "Her present territory
is seriously diminished and th. door is
left open for further wrongs which
dare not yet b. acknowledged. The

"The Oregonian is able to say on information and knowl
edge that he (Robert N. Stanfield) is neither a profiteer
nor a hoarder. It says it now, because it ought to be said
now. It -would not have him, nor any man, penalized
through politics, or partisanship, or newspaper unfairness,
for having performed to Jthe state of Oregon and to the
Northwest an invaluable, service in creating here a great
wool depot, and in helping lay the foundations for an impor
tant industry in the manufacture of wool products of all
kinds. What encouragement can Portland offer to others to
invest their capital here, contributing a share to the develop
rnent of desirable enterprise if they are to be assailed and
libeled merely because they happen to be candidates for
office?" Oregonian Editorial, May 12.
The foregoing is respectfully referred to the Journal and
the Telegram, who complain that Seattle is always taking
payrolls away from Portland, and then attack Stanfield
because he has built up an industry benefiting every citizen
of Portland and Oregon.

R. N. STANFIELD
REPUBLICAN
For U. S. SENATOR
Do you want to send to Washington a Senator who has
initiative and who will strive to obtain recognition for
Oregon, or do you want a Senator who simply introduces
bills for press agent purposes? Stanfield's opponent does
not believe that Oregon has been discriminated against.
What do you think? What has been done to develop Ore
gon's arid lands? Where are there any cantonments in
Oregon, although this state has contributed 20,000 young
men to the service? Where are the airplanes being manu
factured, for which Oregon supplies the spruce? The list
of things Oregon' has not received can be continued inter
minably. To remedy these conditions and get results a business
man is better equipped than a lawyer. The Government is
commandeering business men, not barristers, these days.
Every day the Administration is seeking men who have the
"know how" to help win the war. After the war, when the
reconstruction period comes, practical men will be required
to work out the big problems of the Nation. Stanfield is
the type of man needed by the Government. Oregon can
again do its bit by nominating and electing Stanfield.
Stanfield is not a politician. He has been doing construc
tive labor for the state all his life. Listen to the following:
"He (Stanfield) was practically unknown in the political
affairs of the state prior to his election as Speaker of the
House, two years ago." Oregon Labor Press.
That is true. Stanfield was not playing politics but was
developing an industry (see Oregonian quotation above)
when his opponent was taking political appointments from
Democrats and Republicans whenever he could get them.
Stanfield was building himself through his own efforts and
creating a payroll for the state while his opponent was either
holding political jobs, to which he was not elected, or was
representing corporations at Salem.
There are two, points to be settled by the voters May 17:
The first is whether they want better representation at
Washingon ; representation which will bring results to Ore
gon, and if so, Stanfield is the man.
The second point is whether the Republicans of Oregon
want a 100 per cent Republican or a 50-50 Demo.-Rep.
The nomination of Stanfield is the oniy thing which will
save the Republican party in Oregon from falling into the
hands of the Democratic boss, for the protege, friend and
colleague of the Democratic boss is Stanfield's opponent.
It is up to, Air. and Airs. Kepubucan Voter.
