OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Feb. 16. Brigadier
General Brice P. Disque, who com
manded the spruce production divi
sion in the northwest during the
war, with headquarters in Portland,
is scored by the Frear sub-committee
of the Graham war investigat
ing committee in the majority report
made today to the full committee.
John D. Ryan, director of aircraft
production, also is criticised, while
great praise is showered on Colonel
George H. Kelly of Portland, Or.,
for his service in getting out spruce
in France.
Pendleton, an American, who had
charge of spruce production in Brit
ish Columbia, also was lauded for hid
splendid work and sacrifice.
Inexperience Is Blamed.
The report points out that the,
mistake in handling spruce produc
tion in the northwest was made when
Brice P. Disque, a man without ex
perience in the lumber industry, was
placed in charge instead of Russell
Hawkins of Portland, "an experi
enced lumberman of recognized
ability." -
In order to show what Disque
might have accomplished, in the
opinion of the committee, the report
says:
At the beginning of the war the
lumbermen's association of the Pa
cific coast recommended Colonel
George H. Kelly for American for
estry work in France. He was one
of scores of successful lumbermen
of the coast and received charge of
all American lumbering operations
overseas. .
Work in France Related.
"Within 11 days after landing in I
France Kelly traveled from Brest to
I-andes, erected a sawmill in the
wilderness and was logging and saw
ing lumber. With American soldier
labor, working ten-hour shifts at en
listed men's pay of $30 a month, as
a minimum fixed by congress,
Colonel Kelly worked his men at
times in 6 feet of snow with the
thermometer sometimes below zero
in the Vosges mountains where large
operations occurred.
"He built camps and mills, and be
ginning from nothing, by October,
1918, or within one year, Colonel
Kelly was sawing 50,000,000 feet
of lumber a month for all pur
poses, including spruce for air
planes. From one mill at the start
he built 81 small mills and guaran
teed to deliver a monthly production
of 100,000.000 feet of sawed lumber :
by February, 1919.
Kelly Considered Practical.
"What Colonel Kelly promised to
do he would have accomplished, be
cause he was a practical man, like
Pendleton in Canada, and under
stood the business.
"The record of two practical Amer
ican lumbermen m Canada and
France shows what might have been
done by us, but wasn't."
Then taking up Disque's record,
the report continues:
"Colonel Disque had been a cav
alry captain in the regular army
and resigned after 19 years of serv-
j Example of Russia Is Followed by
I Radicals in America to Win,
Says John W. Sullivan.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6. Through an
'interlocking" directorate, including
not more than 500 persons, the radi
cal organizations of the country are
attempting to gain control of Ameri
can industry and destroy the present
form of government, John W. Sulli
van, former member of the war labor
board, declared today in an address
before the national civic federation.
The meeting, presided over by Samuel
Gompers, was held to consider
methods of combating revolutionary
activities and the upholding of
American ideals.
"For the first time the forces
which seek the destruction of the
present basis of our national life,
have achieved something like unity
of purpose," Mr. Sullivan said. "They
have cemented this with an ex
change of personnel among their
various organizations. There is not
today so far as can be learned a
single conspiracy against America
which is not in touch with all other
conspiracies. The malcontents have
learned the formula which made bol
shevism in Russia a success. Win
first and decide afterwards which
of our programmes will be tried.
"The forces have wormed their way
into every form of organization that
might possibly be twisted to further
their ends. .
"Today, there is a real and provable
communion between disloyalty and
anarchism, bolshevism, revolution of
every kind, religious pacifism and
many other 'isms' and there are rela
tions from these, not only to dis
loyalty but from each to each of the
others.

.OREGON IAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Feb. 16. President Wil
son's harsh removal of Secretary
Lansing continued to have the right
of way in all discussions today, but
shifted somewhat to the political side.
Democrats' admitted freely their an
noyance over the entire incident and
continued to place practically all the
blame on the president. The chief
worry appeared to be one of fear as
to what Mr. Wilson might do next.
There seemed to be a readiness to
expect anything, and when the morn
ing papers carried a cable from Lon
don reporting that the president had
sent a threatening letter to the allies
relative to the Adriatic question, it
was accepted as the second of a series
of rash acts on the White House
schedule, the Lansing dismissal be
ing the first.
Threat of Probe Feared.
There was undoubtedly some con
cern among members of Mr. Wilson's
party that republicans in the senate
might start an investigation of the
Wilson-Lansing break, to go into the
question of the cabinet meetings, and
also to inquire into the alleged in
capacity of the president to perform
the duties of his office. These fears.
it was soon ascertained by interviews
with republican leaders, were not
Justified.
The republicans are perfectly satis
fied to let Mr. Wilson have his own
way so long as the row is in his own
official' family," or in "his own party.
Among both republicans and demo
crats there was some curiosity as to
where the president is to find as a
successor to Mr. Lansing a man whose
mind "will go along more willingly
after mine." Just what type of man
It would be who would be willing to
accept the important post of secre
tary of state when the appointment
carried such a doubtful compliment
was an interesting query.
Kegro Messenger Suggested.
On this problem the Philadelphia
Public Ledger carried today in a
Washington dispatch this suggestion:
"About the most caustic suggestion
from political adversaries of the pres
ident based on his pronunciamento
that not only was he 'the state but
the state department,' was mention of
Eddie Savoy, the veteran negro mes
senger of the state department, who
has been carrying important papers
for secretaries of state for more than
30 years, as best qualified to fill Mr.
Lansing's position, according to Mr.
Wilson's conceptions of the duties of
that office." -
As new facts are developed regard
ing the objectionable cabinet meet
ings the mystery deepens as to how
so much was carried on without Mr.
Wilson's knowledge, and hew it was
that his condemnation fell only on Sec-
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Feb. IS. Concealed in
a- rate decision in What appeared to
be a relatively unimportant case, the
interstate commerce commission laid
down a principle that promises to be
far-reaching in .the extent to whiob
it ia calculated to foster manufac
turing enterprises in the Pacific coast
country.
The decision was in a case brought
by the Portland (Or.) Traffic A
Transportation association and th'e
Portland Rubber Mills against the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company, but it is of equal
interest to every other industrial
point on the Pacific coast as well as
Portland. It was shown that the
Portland Rubber Mills were paying
a 50 per cent higher rate on rubber
soles and heels shipped east than
manufacturers of the same class of
goods in the east were paying on
shipments wastbound.
The commission upset the conten
tion of the railroads that the west
bound movement being much heavier
than the eastbound shipments, en
titled the eastern manufacturers to
the much lower rate. The commlS'
slon pointed out that if that princi
ple were permitted to apply, the west
bound traffic would of necessity con
tinue to be the heavier because of
the - transportation handicap under
which the western manufacturer was
compelled to operate. The commis
sion said:
"The rate relationship itself pre
vents the free movement of com
plainants' product into the eastern
groups, and to hold otherwise would
make an undue preference justify it
self because of the results it produces."

LONDON, Feb 16. (By the Asso
elated Press.) Following is the text
of the note sent by the allied powers
to Holland regarding the extradition
of the German emperor:
"The immense sacrifices made in
the general interest by the powers
during the war entitle them to ask
The Netherlands to reconsider its re
fusal based on the weighty but en
tirely .personal consideration of i
state which, held aloof from the war
and cannot perhaps appreciate quite
accurately all the, duties and dangers
of the- present hour.
'The obligations of the powers to
ward other nations, the gravity of
the Question concerned, as well as the
very grave political effects to which
relinquishment of the claims of jus
tice against the ex-emperor would
give rise all constrain them to uphold
them and renew their demand.
'The1 powers do not ask the queen's
government to depart from its tra
ditional policy, but to consider that
the nature of their request which
does not In their opinion depend
solely or even mainly on Dutch
municipal law has not been ade
quately appreciated.
'No question of prestige is at stake.
and the powers pay as much heed to
the conscientious sentiments of a
state with limited interest as to the
mature decision of great powers, but
cannot wait for the creation of a
world tribunal competent to examine
international crimes before bringing
to trial the responsible author of the
catastrophe of the great war.
"It is precisely this contemplated
trial which would prepare the way
for such a tribunal and demonstrate
the unanimity of feeling animating
the conscience of the nations of (the
world. The powers wish to point out
that the league of nations has lot
et reached a state of development
sufficient to allow any application to
t, or to a tribunal of any kind
created by it, meeting with that
prompt satisfaction which is surely
essential.
'It does not appear to consider that
it shares with other civilised nations

of crimes against justice and the
principles of humanity crimes for

treaty of peace and the collective
mandatories of a majority of the civ

possible to disregard the collective
force o this request, which is the
expression not only of the feeling of
indignation of the victims, but of the
demand for justice made by the con
science of humanity as a whole.
"The Netherlands government sure
ly has not forgotten that the policy

have cost the lives of approximately
10,000,000 men, murdered in- their

According to the information the
