THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVE3IBER u, 1019. II. S. OVERTURN HELD government last September regard ing: conditions in Siberia, has ex pressed a willingness to co-operate with the American authorities, both military and civil, in that country. This announcement was made today at the state department, but the text of the Japanese reply was withheld. What plans were suggested either by the American or Japanese govern ment was not disclosed, nor was there any announcement as to whether the negotiations had been concluded. The note sent by the United States to Tokio in September has never been made public by the state de partment, but dispatches from Tokio a. month ago said the United States had pointed out that Japanese tVoops in Siberia had failed to protect the lives and Property of the American railroad engineers, and had failed to co-operate with them in the broad spirit of conducting the railroad in the interest of the Russian people by permitting the transportation of food supplies, so necessary to the Russians.

Treaty of Versailles Is Received in Farewell Address Delivered at Strasbourg, Alsace. HUNGARY CRISIS PASSED it was different! "vTASHrNGTON. Nov. 4. The Rus eian bolsheviki "have availed them iselves of every opportunity to Initi ate in the United States a propaganda aimed to brine about the forcible overthrow of our present form of government," Chairman Wadsworth of the senate military committee has been informed by Assistant Secretary Phillips in a letter made public today at the state department. The bolsheviki, Mr. Phillips said, have at their disposal large quantities of gold, partly revenue of the former Russian government and partly a re ferve belonging: to the Roumanian government, and it is considered im portant not to give them means through commercial transactions to bring this gold into the United States, where it could be used to sustain their propaganda of "violence and unrea 6on." Mr. Phillips said! that while there was no blockade of Petrograd, so far as the United States was concerned, no licenses for the shipment of goods to bolshevik Russia were being issued. This policy of non-intercourse, he added, could not be continued after the proclamation of peace without ad ditional legislation. New Legislation Needed. Mr. Phillips wrote in reply to Sen ator Wadsworth, who had asked why the administration had adopted a pol icy of non-intercourse with that part of Russia controlled by the bolshe viki. His letter follows: "In reply to your letter of October 20, 1919, concerning the so-called blockade of Petrograd, I beg to in form you that so far as the United States is concerned no blockade ex ists. It is the present policy of this government, however, to refuse ex port licenses for shipments to Rus sian territory under bolshevik con trol and to refuse clearance papers to American vessels seeking to depart for Petrograd, the only remaining bolshevik port. As you are aware, these measures cannot be continued after the ratification of peace, un less there is new legislation. "The policy of non-intercourse with territory under bolshevik control is based chiefly on two considerations. It is the declared purpose of the bolsheviki in Russia to carry revo lution throughout the world. They have availed themselves of every op portunity to Initiate in the United States propaganda aimed to bring about the forcible overthrow of our present form of government. Reds' Gold Not Wanted. "They have at their disposition In Ttassia a large quantity of gold, being partly a reserve of gold belonging to the Roumanian government which was stored in Moscow for safe keep ing at the time of the German ad vance into Roumania. It is consid ered important that the fiolsheviki should not be given means through commercial transactions to bring this gold into the United States, where it could be used to sustain propaganda of violence and unreason. "The second consideration relates to the control which the bolsheviki exercise over the distribution of ne cessities. All foreign trade has been nationalized." This means that there can be no dealing except with the bol shevik authorities. Moreover, since the fall of 1918, the bolsheviki have maintained a system of discrimination In the distribution of food. The popu lation is divided Into categories along occupational and class lines, and re ceives food, eo far as food may be available, in accordance with a scale which is adjusted with a view to the maintenance of the bolsheviki in power and the fulfillment of their programme for the extinction of the middle classes. "The rations given to members of the red army is estimated, in the of ficial Bolshevik Gazette of February 6. 1919, to be three times the average for the several categories of the civil population. It has seemed altogether Inadmissible that food and other necessities of American origin should be allowed to become the means of sustaining such a programme of po Jitical oppression. Neutral Commission Foils. "The government has not been un mindful of the material distress of many innocent people within the bol Ehevik lines. An attempt was made last spring to provide for the release of these people through the co-opera tion of a neutral commission to be headed by Dr. Nansen. The project tailed because the bolsheviki declined to agree to the cessation of hostili ties, which was considered an indis pensable prerequisite. The depart ment of state has subsequently studied other means by which neces sities might be provided, for the people of central Russia without be jng used for purposes of political constraint, and also class deception. Iv o feasible project has yet been found, but the problem continues to receive attention. "In the meantime provision has been made for the immediate relief of the people in any areas which may be freed from bolshevik control as result of current military operations. Stores of food estimated to be ade quate for the relief of Petrograd for nearly one month were delivered to Russians by the American relief ad ministration and are now at Viborg, Finland, whence they can be trans ported to Petrograd whenever that city may come under the control of authorities with whom it Is possiblo to deal. Definite arrangements have, moreover, been made with the United States grain corporation to provide further shipments of flour for this re gion in the event of its liberation and for the people in the north of Russia which is under the control of a demo cratic government." T7. S. CORPS TO QUIT SIBERIA Withdrawal of American Railway Forces Ordered. OMSK, Friday, Oct. 24. (By the Associated Press.) Colonel Georg' H. Emerson, of the American railway mission, has ordered the withdraw of the American railway corps from Siberia. The withdrawal will coin tide with the evacuation of the Czech forces for repatriation to Czecho-Slo vakia, November 4. The evacuation of the Czechs is in accordance with instructions which Major-General Jules Janln, thei commander, received from Paris. No other troops were assigned to replace them.

Down in Curry county, near the Sixes river bridge, Cyrus Madden, who nearly 60 years ago started min ing, has lost the last right to the 300 acres he operated on in his various mining ventures, land he had claimed for more than 40 years. In the early days Mr. Madden filed on and bought rights on other claims to aggregate 300 acres. The consolidated claims were held by him for a number of years before farmers began to covet the property which he had not pat ented. The result of his neglect in obtain ing lasting rights was that piece by piece he lost the property and a re cent decision of the government land office takes from him the last acre, the site of his home for the past 40 years and until lately his residence. But Cyrus Martin has grown old and at 87 he is past the ability to provide for himself. With the loss of his re maining few acres he becomes a pub lie charge. STRASBOURG. Alsace, Nov. 4. ("By the Associated Press.) The solution of the many problems the world is now facing may be summarized in the single word, "work," Premier Clem enceau declared in his keynote speech for the government party in the par liamentary elections campaign, deliv ered here today. The speech also was his farewell message on the eve of retirement from political life, which he contem plates. His address, he declared, was not a message meant for France alone, but was an appeal to the entire world to renew its labors as they had been performed before the war and pro duce for the world's needs. Treaty Is Reviewed. M. Clemenceau briefly reviewed the treaty of Versailles and said that al though France had been apparently parsimoniously treated as to repara tions, he hoped confidently that the allies had not abandoned France. He said that England and America had not bargained for their blood and would not grudge financial help to France. This city, the capital of reclaimed Alsace, extended a warm greeting to the premier. He was met by Alexan dre Millerand, the governor of Alsace, and other notables, and was cheered by thousands of the populace as he passed before the guard drawn up in his honor. A picturesque feature was furnished by Alsatian girls in na tional costumes tossing flowers as the premier went by. "This is one of the greatest days of my lire, the premier exclaimed. "It was worth living for. Now I know I have not lived in vain." Klnses Are Salute. Brushing aside M. Millerand and others near him, the 78-year-old pre mier mingled with the crowds of Al satians who had broken through the cordon formed by the police, who were not too insistent in keeping them back. Pretty girls virtually mobbed tne grand old man of France, who gave every appearance of enjoyln tne experience immensely. The girls ana women welcomed him In the Al satian dialect, which the premier does not understand, but their resounding kisses on his weather-beaten cheeks neeaea no interpreter. KLAMATH NEEDS FUNDS Special Election Proposed to Re store Depleted Treasury. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 4. Special.) The high cost of living has not spared the city treasury, it developed last night at the regular meeting of the city council, which decided to put the matter up to the voters at a special election. Last year the city s revenue was $G6,000. Now all funds are practi cally empty, several are overdrawn and a $10,000 deficit by the end of the year is not unlikely. At least the deficit will exceed $7000. This year's budget estimate is $89,- 000. The tax rate last year reached the charter limit of 15 mills, so a spe cial election to amend the charter is necessary to set the rate for the coming year at zs mills. Besides raising the tax rate the voters at the special election will be asked to raise the salary of all elective officers. WASHINGTON, plying to a note Nov. 4.

LEPROSY EXPERT REPLIES California Treatment Not Similar to Hawaiian, Says Doctor. HONOLULU, Nov. 4. (By the As sociated Press.) The treatment of leprosy with chaulmoogra oil, ns used in California and recently condemned as a failure by Dr. V. C. Hassler. San Francisco health officer. Is not similar to that which has proved a success at the Kalihl hospital. Hawaii. This Is the statement made by Dr. A. Lt. Dean, president of the College of Hawaii, and Dr. Harry T. Hollman, ex-physician at the Kalihl hospital. Chaulmoogra oil has been used for several years in Hawaii in treating leprosy. Dr. Dean said, but recently, he added, he had been able to separate the fatty acids from the oil and in its refined form It has been very suc cessful. "Our statistics have shown," Dr. Dean asserted, "that after the treat ment no leprosy bacteria existed." So far as he knew, the doctor said, the oil was separated nowhere but et the College of Hawaii and the partic ular elements which he abstracted were used only there. commander here. of the aviation fields i YOU HAVE BUT TODAY, THURSDAY and FRIDAY TO SEE This Big, Whirley girley, Breezy, Buoy ant Outburst of Mer- The First Screen Musical Comedy 6 Big Acts 6 A Live Chorus The New Columbia SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (Evenings Only) Again The Best Show in Portland!
