DANZIG, July 12. iSpecial Cable.)
The Poles have a complaint to
make against the way the British
high commissioner. Sir Reginald
Tower, is administering the free city
of Danzig in the name of the league
of nations. They complain and my
own investigations on the spot bear
them out that he has not carried out
the provisions of the treaty of Ver
sailles either in its spirit or letter.
The effect of his administration is:
First, to deny to Poland the rights
which the treaty of Versailles ex
pressly gives it.
Second, to give the population of
the city itself rights out of all pro
portion to their numbers or deserts,
thus giving the Germans an undue
advantage over the Poles; and.
Third, to make Danzig a British
port, controlled by British interests,
ficrmnn Praise HrMlxh Rale.
The first person I talked to in Dan
zig was an obvious East Prussian.
He was the kind of person who used
to sing hymns of hate and go around
chanting, "Gott strafe England." He
rolled his eyes in ecstasy and said:
"What honest, fair people are the
English. They treat us wonderfully.
And they have sent a man here who
lis a gentleman, a real English gen
tleman. I mean Sir Reginald Tower.
We are very grateful for the way he
has saved us from the Poles."
As the city has been administered
important provisions have not been
carried out and the Danzigers have
thus been "saved from the Poles."
The way the Danzigers and the
Germans fixed it, the German crown
lands passed into the 'handiS of the
city of Danzig before the interallied
commission got to Danzig.
Danzig, however, realizing it was
taking on a rather expensive business
and expecting the treaty clauses to
be carried out, hesitated , about it,
and it was only after Berlin financial
interests came to their aid that they
consented.
The Poles take the position that it
is bad enough to leave the Danzigers
in possession of the property they
hurriedly acquired title to during the
war, but they resent bitterly th
crown lands being administered by
the Danzigers against their interests,
when the treaty expressly provides
against such a contingency.
The German Danzigers were sly in
their methods and they have con
vinced Sir Reginald Tower that the
least thing he may do prejudices
their interests, and in his caution not
to Injure the Danziger citizens be has
prejudiced the interests of the whole
Polish nation, and defeated the pur
pose of the treaty , provision at the
time when it Js so important for Po
land to know where it stands.
HrMish Poller Itenponniblr.
In fact the Poles have practically
given up the idea that Danzig will
ever be their port as the treaty in
tended. One needs to know the trade policy
of the British empire on the continent
of Europe to understand.
There is a general plan to control
the water. The Baltic is to become
British and is largely so already.
X'anzig occupies a strategic position.
3f the Poles get unrestricted control
it will break the string of Brltieh
Vorts. From the British point of
view it is much more desirable that
the port remain "free" that is to
fray, free from cither Polish or Ger
man control. That gives an oppor
tunity for the British traders to ex
ercise freely the power which their
importance on the sea gives them.
To nail down this advantage the Brit
ish Interests wish to cqntrol the local
port commercially. To this end sev
eral big British firms have estab
lished themselves, one with a capital
ft 10.000.000, enough to buy up
everything in sight.
Government Sustain Governor. .
If it had not been for the British
there is little doubt that the Poles
would have ruthlessly pushed aside
the legitimate Danzig commercial in
terests, which gives a color of justi
fication to the lack of activity on
The part of the lcacuc of nations'
representative, but the effect of it
has been to give the British control
of pretty much everything, and there
is no doubt but that this is part of
ne purpose of the British foreign
tfice in sustaining Sir Reginald
Tower against all Polish complaints.
The affairs of Danzig are not en
tirely settled yet. though the direc
tion is pretty well indicated. It would
take a vigorous action on the part
of the .supreme council to change

HOTEL MEN TO PICNIC
Greeters Plan Lunch at Devil's
Punch Bowl Tomorrow.
HOOD RIVER. Or., July 12. (Spe
cial.) C. A. Bell, - local hotel man,
yesterday received a letter from F. W.
Beach, secretary of the Oregon hotel
men's association, announcing a picnic
and jaunt through the orchard dis
tricts Wednesday, July 14. The letter
stated that ihe visitors planned a
lunch at the Devil's punch bowl, a
visit to Lost lake and an excursion
to Mount Hood lodge as part of the
programme of. the day.
In his reply Mr. Bell suggested that
the programme be pruned extensively
as the proposed jaunts mentioned
wot'ld require more than a day. He
stated that the itinerary was evi
dently made without knowledge of
the topography of the country which
the greeters propose to cover.
APPLES BELOW AVERAGE
Size of Oregon Fruit Greater, and
of Better Quality.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 12. (Spe
cial.) Leroy Childs, superintendent
of the Hood River experiment sta
tion, who yesterday motored through
lower valley sections, and made close
investigation of the upper valley,, in
company of H. H. Bushnell, editor of
the Oregon -Farmer, estimates that
the Hood River apple crop the com
ing fall will reach only 50 to 60 per
cent of last year's 2,000,000 box crop.
"But," says Mr. Childs, "all indi
cations point to a crop of unusual
quality. The fruit is sizing rapidly.
No scab has appeared and worm in
jury is negligible. If growers take
care of their next arsenate spraying,
due about August 10, worm damage
will cause no loss this season." The
Hood River potato crop is placed
slightly in excess of that of last year.

SHAXTUXG TO CAUSE CON

Before Award Only 2 0 Nipponese
Live In State; Population
Now Is 500000.
HOOD RIVER. Or., July 12. (Spe
cial.) Dr. Ng Poon Chew, editor of a
noted Chinese paper at San Francisco
and headliner of the local Chautau
qua, who delivered an address Satur
day night, paid his respects to Japan
in no uncertain terms.
Japan, the Chintse editor declared,
is the Germany of the orient. He
cited how in 18S0 the late Japanese
emperor, on promising his people a
constitution within the decade, sent
a commission to study the basic prin
ciples of western world governments.
The American constitution was con
sidered too democratic. The commis
sion then went to England, said Dr.
Chew, but there they found the con
stitution something intangible, scat
tered throughout English history.
The divine rights of men, a prin
ciple of the French republic, fright
ened them and they hastened to Ger
many. There, according to Dr. Chew,
the late Bismarck gave them a warm
welcome and assisted in the transla
tion of the German constitution into
Japanese. Some terms were changed,
but merely in phraseology, he said.
He cited that the "made in Ger
many" constitution was decreed an
instrument of the Japanese govern
ment in 1889.
"For 15 years," said Dr. Chew, "Ja
pan has done everything possible to
control China. She has tried to 'Jap
alac" old China."
He cited aggression in Corea, Man
churia, Siberia and the acquisition of
Shantaung through action of the
peace conference. The award in the
estimation of Dr. Chew has laid the
basis for another war.
"China sent 250,000 able-bodied
workmen to the fields of France to
help win the war," he said, "and more
of her laborer soldiers suffered death
than did Japanese combatants. The
hope is held out that the league of
nations piay rectify the peace confer
ence action, but there is also a pros
pect for exceeding danger.
"Before the Japanese took Shan
tung, the Japanese population of the
province did not exceea zu. loaay
Shantung is inhabited Dy at least
500,000 Japanese of the worst class."

THIS THE IDEAL: From the start, Stewart engineers
decided to build only quality trucks; to build them at
quantity prices. Trucks from the ground up not an
adapted passenger car part in them; built for work; built to last
and pile up profits for owners; hundreds of useless parts and
hundreds of pounds of dead weight eliminated; strong, sturdy,
hard-working assets to any man or business.
AND THIS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT : In only eight years
Stewart has become one of the world leaders. It has fought the
daily battle of business for owners, and won out because it is a
stronger truck, simpler to operate, more economical on gasoline,
oil, tire and repair costs. Starting with one on trial, Stewart
fleets have grown rapidly one, two, four, and more all working
and earning; piling up profits for their owners; spreading the
Stewart reputation for quality and economy. Factory output has
been more than doubled this year. Stewarts are in use in 800
American cities, on hundreds of farms, and in 38 foreign coun
tries. Stewart Trucks have won by costing less to run
