DEMOCRATS SPLIT,
REED'S TALK SHDWS
Missouri Senator Speaks at
Portland Chamber.
WILSON NOT ONCE NAMED
league Pact, Especially Shantung
Award, Scored Roosevelt Is
Likened to Washington.
In 'an address bristling with allu
sions to the "yellow peril" and pictur
ing the proposed league of nations
as an instrument through which Eng
land and Japan would be enabled to
divide the world's spoils in the great
game of "international poker," Sena
tor James A. Reed of Missouri, who
arrived in Portland Sunday for a brief
visit with relatives here, yesterday
noon told the members' forum of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce why
he has fought against the ratification
of the treaty, and presented his inter
pretation of the document brought
back by President Wilson from the
Versailles peace conference.
Although the exposition of his sub
ject by the Missouri senator proved
of auch Interest as to hold the audi
ence of more than 100 business men to
the closest attention for nearly an
hour, it was probable that even more
interesting and startling to the hear
ers was the picture of the conflict
going on Inside the democratic party
between the administration leaders
and the insurgents which the address
of Senator Reed, perhaps uncon
sciously upon his part, drew. While
news of the battle against the presi
dent by members of his own party
has filtered through to the public
from time to time, it is probable that
ito address by a public man before a
Portland audience has so openly dis
closed the seriousness of the conflict
as did that of the Missouri senator.
Sharp Contrawt Shown,
Scarcely a sentence of the address
there was which did not disclose a
sharp contrast between the views of
the insurgent group, of which Senator
Reed . has long been an influential
leader, and the administration demo
crats led by the president himself.
Words and phrases falling rapidly
Xrom the lips of the senator showed
the well-nigh irreconcilable barrier
between the two groups within . the
party upon the matter of foreign pol
icy, and in an address during the en
tire course of which he never once
mentioned Mr. Wilson's name Senator
Reed constantly made allusions to the
president and his peace programme,
and explained the uncompromising
position of himself and his associates.
On one occasion, following a word
of praise for the late President Gro
ver Cleveland, the senator expressed
the fervent wi-h that "we had his
old iron her.rt and his head today at
the head- of things." and on another
occasion grouped the late republican
president. Theodore Roosevelt, with
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln,
as a man of staunch and steadfast
American policy in regard to foreign
affairs, striking an unexpressed but
nevertheless perfectly apparent con
trast between the policy of Roosevelt
and that of Wilson a-nd lining himself
tip with the former republican leader
In that regard.
Shantung Award Hit.
Japan, he assc ted, in turning to the
problem of the far east and the peace
treaty, gave fewer than 1000 lives in
the war, and yet received more of the
spoil than any other government.
Through a secret agreement between
Japan, France and England, he
charged, the nations were, bound to
hand Shantung over to Japan, and by
so doing Japan came into possession
of one of the oldest and richest of
Chinese provinces and added 36,000,000
people to the population of her em
pire. A secret agreement between
Kngland and Japan, he asserted, had
given to Japan all the former German
Islands in the Pacific north of the
equator, with Shantung, and had
given to England all the islands south
of the equator.
'The theft of Shantung is sanctified
by the league of nations." he said,
"and the document forever prevents
China from regaining the province.
Should Shantung revolt and should
China send aid to the revolutionary
movement, under the league covenant
we would be pledged to send our boys
to the orient to fight for Japan, right
cr wrong."
In regard to the promise said to
have been given that Shantung would
be returned to China after- the peace
treaty went into effect, the senator
declared that there had never been an
authoritative statement made by the
Japanese government to that effect.
Promlne Not Trusted.
'"But even if such a promise were
made and the document signed with
the heart's blood of the Japanese
leaders, I would not trust it," he de
clared. "In the first place I would
not trust a thief. If Japan intends to
return Shantung why does she not do
so now? She has-already broken faith
three times. The man who expects
the eyes behind those slant-eyed lids
to see anything not in accord with
Japanese desires expects to see some
thing not in the Japanese character."
The passage of the peace treaty as
It stands, he declared, would 'mean
that Japan would come into control
of islands in the Pacific 2000 miles
closer to American shores than any
she now owns, and would mean the
possibility of great expansion for the
Japanese nation.
"The time may come," he asserted,
"when the yellow race may ravage
Europe and put civilization upon the
defensive. As for me, I would not
sacrifice one regiment of our boys for
all the yellow creatures that crawl
or walk upon this earth."
He spoke briefly of the acquisition
of the Hawaiian islands by Cleveland
and declared that in the event of a
war between this nation and Japan
Hawaii would be the first place whers
the Japanese would strike.
"We did not always agree with
Cleveland about everything," he said,
"but would to God we had his old iron
heart and his head today at the head
of things."
Brittafe Domination Feared.
He expressed his admiration for the
F.nglish as a people, but professed fear
of the extension of British domination
as a result of the league of nations.
"The heads of the British states
men are not full of dreams, but full
o ideas," he continued. "When you
go to negotiate with them do not send
down an amateur.
"When we entered this war it was
said it was to spread the doctrine
of democracy. The talk of democra
tizing the world -was as foolish a
thing as ever fell from human lips.
We entered this war because Germany
murdered our citizens upon the high
seas.
"While we talked of dreams for the
betterment of humanity. England
France, Japan and Italy were meet
ing and dividing the spoils. We talked
with our heads in the clouds and our
eyes rolled heavenward, while they
stacked the cards in the great gamo
of international poker.
'Xet us not abandon the chart that
Washington laid down, that Jefferson
followed, that guided Lincoln In his
great work, and that Theodore Roose
velt said we should adhere to. Let
us not try to impose our Will upon
the people of other nations, no more
than we would have them impose
their will upon us. Let us remember
in our foreign policy that this is our
country, and let us keep it for our
selves." Senator Reed was preceded by M.
H. Day, secretary of the Christian col
lege of Canton, China, who has head
quarters in New York, but has been
In Canton for six months and is in
Portland on his way back to New
York. Mr. Day js the son of George B.
Day, early Oregon pioneer of the Sa
lem section, and is a graduate of the
University of Oregon.
He declared that the people of China
are anxious to boycott Japanese ship
pers and are looking for American
manufacturers to furnish them with
goods. China offers a wonderful op
portunity for foreign trade through
Portland and other Pacif ir"ports, he
declared, and he urged local compa
nies to begin operations there and to
establish oriental connections.

members of the Musical Arts society
and the other members of the large
audience which had the pleasure of
hearing her at the Salt Lake theater
last night. Intensely dramatic in pose
and manner, with a natural voice
which had been cultivated to a won
derful degree. Lazzari reveals a
technique enabling her to interpret a
musical composition to an extent that
proves her a true artist."
