Article X Rejected. t
Article X of the covenant for a league
of nations, in its original form, cannot and
Phould not be ratitied by the ena.te !
accepted by the people of the United
.statt-s. To do so would not only contract
away control by the American people of
their own policies and arts, but would
cortalnlv embroil the country In an end
le succession of wars, srreat and small.
We b.lieve that the proposed covenant
for a leuKue of nations is gravely defec
tie in that it attempts to substitute dis
ciifMon instead of the rule of law fof
forco in the settlement of International
differences. We declare it to be the pohcj
of the republican party, when the treaty
or pea:e is ratified, promptly to take
steps for the institution of an interna
tional high court of justice to hear and
decide, in accordance with the principles
of law and equity, disputes that are jus
ticiable in character arisine between na
tions and for an international conference,
meeting at stated intervals, to declare
and to revise the rules of international
law and conduct; and to urge upon the
i ivilized nations as a long step forward
in promoting permanent peace, their as
sent to such a code of law defining the
rights and duties of nations, such as was
adopted by the American Institute of In
ternational I-aw at Havana, republic of
uba. on January 23. 1117, known as th
recommendations of Havana.
Class Domination Held Menace.
The chief enemy of democracy based
upon universal suffrage and majority rule
no longer is the arbitrary government of
a monarch or of a hereditary aristocracy,
but the cruel and relentless domination of
a class bent not upon protecting liberty
and equality of opportunity, but upon ex
ploiting all who are not of their own
kind and group. We support and urge
the most vigorous measures to prevent,
by education, the spread in this country
of the doctrines of this dangerous and
undemocratic movement.
We earnestly urge upon the legislatures
of those states that have not yet acted
on the pending amendment to the consti
tution of the United States that it b
promptly ratified in order that women
generally may participate in the elections
to be held in November nest for president,
vice-president, the senate and the house j
of representatives.
The w;ige worker Is entitled, aa a
human being to a proper wage, reasonable i
hours and healthful conditions of labor,
and to a share in determining the cir
cumstances under which his personal co
operation shall be given. The strike is a
weapon of industrial war and should be
made Increasingly unnecessary and in
frequent by the better organization of In
dustry and by the establishment of a
commission or commissions on industrial
relation.
R ratine Revision freed.
Increased production, stimulation of
entrrprife, checking of private extrava
gance and waste, and the reduction of
pub.ic expenditures are a national ne
cessity. Our system of taxation and of
business regulation should be Immediately
revised, with the definite purpose to
promote rather than to prevent enterprise
an d p rod u c t i o n.
We urge the prompt passage of legis
lation to authorize a national budget.
The principle of protection must be
retained as a national policy, not only for
use in maintaining American standards of
labor and industry when present condi
tions change to insure the nation's econ
omic independence.
We are absolutely opposed to govern
w.ent ownership of the railroads and to
the so-caiied Plumb plan for their man

should be privately owned and privately

negotiations are still in progress.
A. F. Haines, general manager of the
Pacific Steamship company, who was
In Portland yesterday, declared that
his company will not consider the
movement of the rock in bulk, but
only in sacks. The price of sacks is
said by other interests to prohibit
an extensive movement of the rock
in this manner.
The shipping board is known to
have quoted a rate for the movement
of phosphate rock to Japan in vessels
of the Emergency Fleet corporation
and it is rumored that Japanese ship
operators have considerably underbid
this figure, A letter from W. R. Grace
& Co. of San Francisco, owners and
operators of a large fleet of mer
chant ships, was recently read at a
meeting of the commLion of public
docks, asking about the facilities pro
vided here for the handling of phos
phate rock in bulk. t
The phosphate rock which will move
through Portland is found in vast de
posits in Idaho and is in great de
mand in Japan as a fertilizer.
Trade Conference Proposed.
tW ASHING ToN. Feb. 20. An inter
national trade agreement congress
would be called by the president in
Washington to consider unfair trac.e
methods, practices and policies which
might injure commercial interests of
other nations, under a resolution In
troduced yesterday In the house
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The ques
tion of party responsibility for the
peace treaty deadlock was threshed
over in militant fashion on the senate
floor today with both the republicans
and democrats seeking to wash their
hands of the senate's failure to act
and of any consequences in the po
litical campaign.
Although both sides professed an
earnest desire to compromise and
squabbled for the credit for past com
promise efforts, there was such a note
of hopelessness in the discussion that
the treaty's irreconcilable opponents
told the opposing party leaders they
might as well put the question of
ratification out of their minds and
turn the senate's attention to the
business of legislation.
Among other things, the debate
brought out a direct disagreement of
fact as to which side originated the
bi-partisan conference, in which five
democrats and four republicans sought
unsuccessfully to work out an agree
ment and as to what transpired be
hind the closed doors of the confer
erice's session.
Hitchcock Starts Flare.
Senator Hitchcock started the flare-
up by a speech denying charges that
the democrats wanted the treaty in
the campaign. He asserted that his
party had gone "nine-tenths of the
way to a compromise and that the
republicans had stood solidly for ac
ceptance of their own reservations,
'without the dotting of an i or the
crossing of a t.
It was the minority, he declared,
who had instigated the bi-partisan
movement and who now had submit
ted two compromise article 10 reser
vations, which many republican sena
tors believed were identical in sub
stance with the Lodge reservation.
Claiming credit for the republicans
in the initiation of the bi-partisan
conference. Senator Lenroot of Wis
consin, one of the mild reservation
republicans, charged that the demo
cratic leader had stood out against
compromise so determinedly that the
republicans were driven to agree upon
the best compromise they could among
themselves.
Borah Sees No Progress.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
speaking for the irreconcilables, de
clared the two sides were no nearer
agreement than they were when the
league of nations debate began a year
ago tomorrow and that further dis
cussion only was a. waste of time. The
treaty, he said, already was so far
into the campaign that "you can no
more keep it out than you can step
half way over Niagara."
The disagreement over what oc
curred in the bi-partisan conference
arose when Senator McKellar of Ten
nessee, one of the democratic con
ferees, asserted that all of the nine
senators except Senator Hitchcock
and Senator Lodge had virtually
agreed to one of the article 10 sub
stitutes formally indorsed since by
40 democrats. The statement was de
nied categorically by Senators New of
Indiana and Lenroot of Wisconsin,
who were republican members of the
conference.
Leaders said tonight that debate;
would possibly be continued tomor
row and a vote might be reached dur
ing the day on the first proposed
modification of the reservations adopt
ed at the last congress.
Senator Phelan, democrat, Cali
fornia, told the senate he had been
informed that when a vote was taken
on the racial equality proposal spon
sored by the Japanese peace delega
tion. President Wilson and Lloyd
George voted against the measure, and
that although the total vote was 12
for the amendment to six against it,
President Wilson succeeded in killing
it by ruling that since the vote was
not unanimous the amendment was
lost.
Phelan Barks Reservations.
Senatpr Phelan declared he sup
ported Senator Lodge's reservation on
domestic questions because it would
prevent Japan from appealing the
racial equality question to the league
of nations. He said Lloyd George
joined with President Wilson in vot
ing down the proposition because
Canada and other British colonies re
fused to consider admitting Japanese
and Chinese on terms of equality.
He declared the United States could
not admit Asiatics on terms of such
equality because they had demon
strated in California their ability to
drive the white citizens off the land.
Charging that intermarriage between
Asiatics and the native American
population would develop a "mongrel,
hybrid race." that ultimately would
supplant "the Caucasian, Senator
Phelan said the Asiatics had no con
ception of the American form of gov
ernment and remained loyal always
to their native land.
He characterized the presence of
Japanese military reservists in Cali
fornia as "almost a menace," and said
the Japanese were gradually acquir
ing California as permanently as
though they had won it by force of
arms.

MEDFORD, Or., Feb. 20. (Special.)
Medford's syndicalism cases wiU be
tried in circuit court next week, when
vagTant, eivingr his name as T. J.

Prosecuting Attorney Roberts, an in
quiry was made into Smith's sanity.
When the examining physicians de
cided the man was sane, the indict
ment was made public.
Smith drifted into town several
weeks ago and was picked up by the
police when he refused to do any
work. He appeared to be harmless,
but when engaged in conversation is
alleged to have said he was a member
