it was said a tentative agreement was
reached. The proposed compromise !
on the preamble was said to provide
that if the principal signatories do
not file, formally, objections to the
reservations before their deposit for
exchange of ratification, the Ameri
can ratifications shall be deemed to
have been accepted.
Change on Lodge resolution to pro
vide for different situations arising
when the United States is and is not
a party to disputes before the league
was urged by the democrats, who,
it was stated, agreed to accept the
reservation in cases where the United
States is a party to the dispute. In
such cases the' United States would
assume no obligation where a nation
with colonies or dominions cast more
than one vote. In cases where the
United States is not a party to the
dispute the democrats proposed that
the United States should be content
to file objections.
None of the democratic proposals
were acceptable to the republican
leaders and the democrats, it was
Baid, were equally adamant against
republican suggestions for change.

PROVIDENCE. R. I.. Jan. 20. The
"anti-strike" clause in the Cummins
railroad bill, now in conference be
tween the houses of congress, is the
first substantial move made "to
solve a problem which has in it the
irerms of civil war and revolution."
United States Senator Miles Poindex

the republican nomination for presi

on "Anti-Strike Legislation," before
an audience of business men here.

AMERICAN
MARKETS,
EVER, LITTLE AFFECTED
HOW-
Cheap Grade Manufactures,
Toys and Novelties.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Despite
the steady growth of imports from
Japan since the signing of the armi
stice, officials of the department of
commerce today declared that Ameri
can markets have been but little af
fected by the influx of oriental goods.
Imports from Japan have increased
mainly in value than in quantity it
is said.
During the 11 months ending with
November, 1919, the latest available
figures, America imported goods val
ued at $367,130,187 from Japan, com
pared with $264,269,502 in 1918 and
$238,550,617 in 1917.
One reason for the increase in im
ports is the shipping facilities, now
available, officals declare, though Ja
pan's expansion in foreign trade is re
garded as general. Japanese goods
which are sent to this country, how
ever, are of the cheaper grades, it is
said, and do not compete with high
class American manufactures. Low
grade paper and cotton goods, tea.
vegetable oils, silk and bamboo man
ufactures are said to form the bulk
of the Japanese imports. The only
classes of manufactures in which Ja
pan and the United States are on a
comeptitive footing are toys and a
few novelties in which the two coun
tries now lead the world, officials say.
The constant increase in Japan's
export trade not only with the United
States, but with the world, indicates
that a heavy demand will be made
in the far east for American ma
chinery and mechanical devices, ex
perts declare. Japan, it is said, can
manufacture cheaply low grade goods,
but must import machinery with
which to do it. Trade experts seem
to concede that Japan will control
the trade of the far east in the
TRFATY IMPflF K NFAR cheaper lines but they believe the de
lntHI 1 IIVirMOOC IO IMCrtn anrt for American manufacturing
machinery and office appliances will
purpose to intentionally hinder, delay
or prevent the operation of trains or
other facilities of transportation.
"When the people of the United
States gave congress exclusive power
to regulate commerce, they, by neces
sary implication, imposed upon it the
duty to protect it. The one absolute
ly indispensable agency of our mod
ern society is transportation, and the
power to preserve it is synonymous
with the power to preserve the gov
ernment nd the nation itself from de
struction. . . . When transporta
tion is tied up for the purpose of en
forcing an economic demand, it is a
physical attack upon the nation.
"The pending bill establishes a
wage-adjustment board and a trans
portation board for the hearing and
adjustment of disputes, and the Ques
tion involved here is whether we are
to determine economic disputes by
this legal machinery or leave it to
t!ie adjudication of force, in a species
or civil war. ...

"It has been openly proclaimed by
men who were largely active in the

but that it was to abolish the wage

overthrow the government.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. Jan. 20. (Special.) Ef
forts of the western governors' dele
gation to obtain $250,000,000 for recla
mation development in the west took
definite form this afternoon when
Senator McNary, chairman of the
senate irrigation committee, intro
duced a bill providing for a bond
issue of that amount.
The measure was one finally agreed
upon by the governors' party at a
conference last night. The bill pro
vides for the issuance of bonds as
needed for the construction of proj
ects under the present reclamation
act. The bonds would run for a ds-
riod of not more than 50 years and
draw interest not exceeding 4 per
cent a year. Construction charges
collected from settlers under the
project would liquidate the bonds.
and no appropriation from the treas
ury therefore would be required.
No delegation coming to Washing
ton from any part of the country has
had the attention from congress that
this one, headed by Governor D. W.
Davis of Idaho, president of the
Western States Reclamation associ
ation, has received. No delegation
ever made its fight before so many
committees, and this delegation broke
all precedents by getting a hearing
before the steering committees of the
senate and house, the first hearing
of the kind in the history of congress.
Governor Davis Congratulated. j
This latter achievement was so
notable that during a hearing before
the house ways and means committee
this morning. Representative Garner
of Texas, a member of the committee.
Btopped Governor Davis in the mid
dle of a speech to congratulate him
on such a rare accomplishment. lie
said:
"Governor, right here I want to
congratulate you on getting a hear
ing before the steering committee of
this body. It is the first time I have
ever heaj-d of such a thing. You have
seen the committee which has the
power to give you anything you ask.
If that committee has approved you
hardly need seek further."
The plan of getting a hearing be
fore the steering committees was de
vised by Representative Siranott of
Oregon, chairman of the house public
lands committee.
There was almost a full attendance
of the ways and means committee
this morning and committee members
evinced) dep interest in the scheme of
the westerners. Chairman Fordney
gave support to the western gover
nors by telling what he knew of the
results on the Yakima project in
Washington. When he said that he
knew personally of the sale of re
claimed desert land under the Yaki
ma project selling for $1000 an acre.
Representative Bowers of West Vir
ginia went him three better by say
ing he knew of irrigated land at
Wenatchee selling for $4000 an acre.
PoantiblUtlea Are Wide.
Besides Governor Davis or Idaho,
Governor Campbell of Arizona and
former Governor Spry of Utah ad
dressed the committee. Governor
Campbell told the committee that the
reclamation of the west will never be
finished because he said the possi
bilities are endless. He told the com
mittee that the federal government
must aid because the federal govern
ment holds the water which is neces
sary for Irrigation.
"But it is not like appropriating
money for rivers and harbors and
countless other projects." he said, "be
cause this money is invested in a
productive enterprise and all comes
back to the government." He gave
figures on the returns of many of the
projects in the west and casually men
tioned the Columbia basin project in
Washington as one that must even
tually be undertaken at a cost of
$100,000,000 to $150,000,000.
Just as the hearing was about to
adjourn. Representative Kincaid of
Nebraska addressed the chairman and
asked for a hearing for the entire
house irrigation committee before the
ways andi means .committee to urge
favorable action on the bill submitted
by the governors. He said:
"My entire committee desires to
appear before you as early as possible
to press this measure. I regard this
as one of the most important meas
ures over brought before congress. 1
am with these gentlemen from the
west and I want congress to grant
what they are asking."
An agreement was reached for such
a hearing, the date not determined.
This will create another precedent in
the appearance of one committee be
fore another. The ways and means
committee must pass on the bills be
cause of its bonding feature. Other
wise it would merely be a question
for the irrigation and appropriations
committees.

A Bundle of Habits
From birth our lives are largely given to 4Jie acquiring
of habits.
Many habits must displace others previously formed.
Commercially, we form most of our buying habits from
20 to 40. During these years each generation decides for
itself on material things.
The habit of the last generation of the "Saturday-night
bath" is displaced evidently, for the modern hotel advertises
every room with bath.
Perhaps the bathroom fixture people did not bring this
change about but they profit by it enormously.
SunkUt wants us all to form the habit of using more lemon
products the year round.
If they can form a new habit or strengthen an old one they
will sell more train loads of lemons.
What does habit do for or against your business?
