DEEP WATER CHANNEL TO EH, PLAN Senator Jones Says 30 Feet Is to Be Open Depth. AMERICAN MARINE LAUDED Washington Solon Willing to Adopt Any Plan to Keep Flay on Ships Built In War. VANCOUVER. W5h.. July 25. (Spe cial.) A 30-foot channel from the mouth of the Willamette river to this city is planned in the rivers and har bor bill, according to a statement made by. Wesley L. Jones, United States Fcnator from this Ft ate. at a meeting of citizens held in the Commercial club rooms last night. Senator Jones is on a hurried four of the Ft ate, and this meeting which followed a luncheon given in his honor at the St. Elmo hotel was for the purpose of greet ing the people of this section and as certaining their wants, and of express ing his views on certain vital questions of the day. Senator Jones, who is chairman of the committee handling the rivers and harbor bill, aid that he understood that the survey of the channel of the river, provided for in the bill, had been made, He said that nothing could bo done, however, unless recommended by the engineering department. Senator Jones said he believed that due to the fact that most of the ap propriation legislation was out of the way. that he would be back to con gress in time to cast a vote on the big problems now confronting the national assembly, and was not shirking his duty. In fact, he said. "Before leav ing I took the matter up with some of my colleagues and they told me they could get along without me." Big Fleet Built. Senator Jones discoursed at length upon the shipping question and the league of nations. Touching upon the former subject he stated that $3,000, 000,000 had been spent by the Ameri can people in building up a merchant marine; that by the first of next Janu ary 17.000,000 tons of shipping, a large part of which would be American built, would be under the American flag; that unless these ships could be operated as cheaply as those operating under a foreign flag, he believed the commerce which we had built up at so great a cost would go from under the flag. He said that he felt that the government should spend whatever money is neces. sary in order that American shipping could compete -with foreign. "We must do something to put our shipping on a substantial basis," said he. "I am ready to support any meas ure that is necessary to maintain the American flag on the high seas." Senator Jones said that he felt that there was not as much harm in the league of nations covenant as some feared, nor as great benefits as some of its supporters expected, but that, with certain reservations and interpretative clauses, it might be ratified without danger to United States independence or sovereignty. He said that, in rati fy ing the covenant, we should state what is our understanding of the Mon roe doctrine, and in this' way there could be no doubt as to its future con structions. Taft Idea Approved. Also, In regard to domestic questions which by the terms of the covenant are withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the council, we should say exactly what we mean. "Let us say that it excludes immigra tion and naturalization and such ques tions. By placing our Interpretations UDOIl these doubtful rlan hofnr hand, future disputes would be avoided and our national honor could not be called into question." Senator Jones was taken over the Fifth-street road, which passes through the Barracks and Reserve road from Fifth street and Fourth Plain avenue, These two roads, which form, respec tively, links in the North Bank high way and the Vancouver-Battle Ground highway, congress has been asked to pave. Senator Jones was later taken to the fetandifer shipyards to view the harbor, which It is proposed to deepen He left this morning for Seattle, where he will attend a meeting tonight, and from there he will return to Washing ton, t.
