features connected with tha forth

ru3d In the Senate today during five
hours of debate, in which many Sen
ators Joined.
Senator Borah, of Idaho. Republican,
introduced a resolution proposing pub'
Jication of the peace treaty immedi

liscusslon of It in the Senate, while
Senator Frellnghuysen. of New Jer

Ciaalu RewlutUs Considered.
Both resolutions will be sent to the
Senate foreign relations committee,
which, before the Senate discussion
opened, considered behind closed doors
the resolution of Senator Cummins, of
Iowa. Republican, proposing; appoint
ment of a Senate committee to attend
the Paris conference to keep the Sen-
ale Informed of events there.
Action on the Cummins resolution
waa postponed until tomorrow, with
Administration leaders and some Re

proval. The committee also decided to
put over until next week the reso
lution of Senator Knox, of Pennsyl

The Senate's debate, which continued
Intermittently until adjournment to
night, was opened by Senator Frellng
huyaen. who. In offering his resolution,
declared the President never had elab
orated on many of his 14 terms and de
manded that the American people be
informed of their concrete application.
In reply Senator Walsh, of Montana,
raid delay in criticism of the 14
points waa ground for general belief
that the country approved them. Sena
tors Poindexter. of Washington; Knox,
of Pennsylvania, and Johnson, of Cali
fornia, all Republicans, challenged that
view. They insisted that after their
nuncla'lon peace discussions generally
had been frowned upon until recently
und consequently there had been no
general discussion of them. Senator
Johnson said the President has gone to
France, leaving the Nation ignorant of
tha precise meaning of his principles.

During the day Senator Kellogg, of
Minnesota. Republican, delivered a pre
pared address In favor of a league of
nations whose decrees should be en
forced by popular opinion of responsi
ble popular government and not by
force of a super-government or world
control.
Replying to Senator Kellogg, who had
expressed regret that the President
had not taken the Senate and the peo
ple more into his confidence on peace
questions. Senator Lewis, of Illinois, the
1 rnocrat Ic whip, declared that in se
lecting the peace commission without
faming a Senate representative, the
I'resluent had not slighted the Senate,
lie said the President first favored ap
pointing a Senator, but had felt such a
Selection would be Improper, since the
s.-na'e finally must pass upon the
treaty.
Closing the day's debate. Senators
Keed. of Missouri, and Williams, of
Mi.tsippl. Democrats, clashed on the
question of a league of nations.
The Missouri Senator opposed .. a

expressed hope that a world Monroe

whether it be labor, material, manu
facture or what not. Any foundation
or organized labor or capital that is on
a false basis must fail.
I am not opposed to organized labor.
I believe that labor should organise in
individual plants or amongst them
selves for the better negotiation of la
bor and the protection of their own
rights, but the organization and con
trol of labor in individual plants and
manufactures, to my mind, ought to be
made representative of the people in
those plants who know the conditions.
"In the years gone by, I seriously
doubt many times if labor has received
its fair share of the prosperity of thi
great country. We, as manufacturers
have got to open our eyes to a wide
vision of the present and the future,
with reference to our workmen. We
have got to devise' ways and means by
which capital and labor, that have so
often been term-id synonomous. shall
sharo equally, not in theory, but in
practice."

BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
XE man measures happiness
terms of dollars. Another man
thinks happiness is appetite or per
sonal combat. ,
There is a higher happiness, one of
the spirit. Think 'of the deep delight
one gets in inhaling the magic scent
of a charming American beauty rose
garden, say in a balmy night In June,
That appeals quietly to our best in
stincts and stirs that undefinable qual
ity In us that is 'called by metaphysi
cians our sixth sense.
It is in something of this magic mood
one emerges from the soft beauty ef
fecta of a Godowsky concert. He ap
peared last night in the Heillg Theater
as the first event of the Ellison-White
artists' course, assisted by Marguerite
Hughes, violinist.
A Godowsky piano concert is gen
erally one of sincere, restful, satisfied
delight. He plays so softly, like the
flow of rose petals stirred by a gentle
wind. Wild dynamics. Niagara-like
thunderings are left to the merciful ef
forta of other pianists. Often, .as
Godowsky plays, you hear him play as
if in a dream, and almost look through
a glass darkly. This mood only de
scribes the witchery of delight created
by Godowsky in Interpreting Chopin's
fairy-like "Ballade in G Minor" and
Nocturne In G Flat.
The Chopin "Scherzo" was rendered
In rapid, dazzling style. In the two
Polish songs, the first has dreamy
beauty, while the other had terrific
speed and a dash that carried all be
fore It. The encore number was the
Chopin "Ecossalse." The Debussy
numbers favored the unexpected, espe
cially in the unlooked-for phrase fin
ishes. The "Humoresque." composed
by Godowsky, waa such a favorite that
it had to be repeated. The "Toccata"
waa a planlstic whirlwind. The finger
ing It received waa astonishing in
speed and a marvel of accuracy. The
extra number waa the veteran "Marche
Mllitaire" (Schubert). In which the gal
loping cavalry horses are cleverly imi
tated. It was dashingly and nobly
played.
Mrs. Hughes, now a resident of this
city, who has been coached in violin
playing by eminent masters in Europe,
was co-star with Godowsky in the ren
dition of the magnificent Franck
"Sonata No. 1." She is a violinist of
the first rank . and played with fine
artistic ability. She Is a native of Cat
Ifornla and has passed much time in
European music centers. .
Secretary McAdoo Sketches
Year's Financial History.
FUTURE ESTIMATES VAGUE
With. Ending of Hostilities Diffi
culty Is Encountered In Deter
mining Money Needs.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The finan
cllal history of America's part In the
war Is set forth by Secretary McAdoo
in his annual report drafted before his
resignation and made public today by
the Treasury. It is the history of how
the American people paid billions in
taxes, raised four great liberty loans
and created a tremendous pool of credit
with which the Treasury, through its
many war agencies, paid the bills of
the Army and Navy, the Shipping Board
and other Government departments.
loaned billions to the allies and milt
Hans to war Industries, helped support
the families of soldiers and sailors and
tided farmers over periods of financial
stringency.
For the 15 montbes ended last June
30 Secretary McAdoo estimated that the
actual cost of the war, with allow
ances for the Government's ordinary
expenses in ordinary times, amounted
to 113.222. ooo.ooo. Nearly half of this,
or 16.499,000,000, went into permanent
investments, in the form of ships, ship
yards, war vessels, army camps, build
lngs and in loans to allies or to Ameri
can war industries. Of the year's ex
penses, 31.6 per cent came from tax
ation.
Army Expense Is Huge.
The civil establishment of the Gov
ernment during the year spent $1,507,
000,000, while the War Department
spent $5.6S4,000,000 and the Navy
$1,368,000,000. For support of the
Army alone the Government paid out
$4,412,000,000. The naval expenditures
included the construction of new ves
sels, machinery, armament, equipment
and improvements at navy-yards. To
tal ordinary disbursements for the
year amounted to $8,966,000,000 and
orinary receipts, excluding money re
ceived from liberty loans, amounted to
$4,174,000,000. Loans to allies during
the year amounted to $4,739,000,000 ad
ditional.
Looking forward. Secretary McAdoo
found great difficulty in forecasting
expenditures for the current fiscal
ear which ends next June 30, on ac
count of the sudden coming of peace.
Estimates which he presented are
based on calculations of each depart
ment In advance of revisions since the
igning of the armistice and he does
not consider them reliable. With this
xplanation Mr. McAdoo forecast ex
penditures for this year at $20. 687, OOO.
OOO for Government purposes and
$4,375,000,000 for loans to allies and
$2,540,000,000 for redemption of out
standing certificates and other debt
cancellation. Total estimated disburse
ments for the year were put at $27,718,-000,000.
Estimated Receipts Large.
Against this estimate which actual
expenses at the rate of a little more
than a billion and a half dollars a
month to date indicate ia too high,
Mr. McAdoo calculated that the Gov
ernment will receive about $5,000,000,
000 before the end of the fiscal year
next June 30 from income and profits
taxes .$1,100,000,000 from other taxes.
$190,000,000 from customs, and $555,000,- j
000 from miscellaneous sources, mciua-
ing $70,000,000 from increased post
age, making estimated receipta from
ordinary sources $6,846,000,000.
In addition, he figured roughly on
a little more than $5,000,000,000 from
further issues of liberty bonds and
$1,200,000,000 from war savings. These
figures added to receipts from liberty
bonds already sold make $14,168,000,000
the total of popular borrowings ex
pected during the year. On this basis
total estimated receipts would be $21,
022,000,000, or $6,696,000,000 less than
tentative estimates of disbursements.
Actual developments are expected to
change these calculations greatly.
NAVAL TERMS UNMITIGATED
Admiral Beatty Refnscs Any Con
cession to Germans.
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 4. The reply of
Admiral Beatty. commander of the
British grand fleet, to'a request, by
Germany for mitigation of naval terms
of tha armistice, refuses any concession
regarding merchant shipping or fish
ing in the North Sea.
The Berlin Wolff Bureau makes this
statement.
ONE BILLION FOR HIGHWAYS
Senator Reed' Smoot Seek9 Big Fed
era' Appropriation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 4. Senator Reed Smoot, of
Utah, -has introduced a bill authoriz
ing a $1,000,000,000 bond issue for Fed
eral co-operation with the states in the
construction of permanent highways.
The bill embodies the plan worked
out in 1914 by ex-Senator Jonathan
Bourne and introduced in the Senate
in 1915" by Bryan of Florida and in
1916 by Smoot. Had the bill been
passed at that time and the scheme
worked out through state co-operation,
the several states would now be in a
position to provide employment on the
highways for practically all the re
turned soldiers who may be without
other employment.
The bill provides for expenditure of
equal amounts by the state and Fed
eral governments, under state control
with Federal approval.
