SERVICE LEAGUE TO MEET
The Oregon lines of the Southern
Pacific are in a very satisfactory con
dition, according to the report of the
high officials ff the company, who
have been making inspection trips
over the Tillamook branch, west side
lines and properties of the system
on both sides of and across the Wil
lamette valley for several daxs and
spent yesterday In Portland inspect
ing terminals and calling at Portland
general offices of the company.
Julius Kruttschnitt. chairman of
the board, expressed his satisfaction
with the favorable business condi
tions in Oregon. He declared that
the property has been found in Just
as excellent condition on the branches
as on the main line and that with in
creasing equipment under construc
tion it is the expectation of the man
agement to take care of traffic effi
ciently. Personal Call Are Made.
The officials made a number of
personal calls during the' day, in
company with John M. Scott, general
passenger agent of the Oregon lines,
to renew old acquaintances and meet
shippers and business men. President
Sproule and Vice-President Shoup
called at the Chamber of Commerce.
"While as a railroad official I am
not Interested In shipping develop
ment, it is a big question of import
ance to the country," said President
Sproule. "Ships are competitors of
the railroads in transportation, but
a broad policy should be pursued by
the government in sales of the ships
to the American people, for the pri
vate ownership of the vessels is the
correct method, in my opinion, to
bring about the establishment of a
strong merchant marine. It is my
conviction that the government should
sell the vessels under contract by
whtch the difference In cost as the
price of tonnage declines might be
absorbed by the government.
Plan la Declared Logical.
"It is good business and logical that
this should be done. If the govern'
ment holds the ships at prices so
high that the operators cannot buy
them, the prices will eventually have
to be reduced in order to dispose of
them: so why should the buyers not
be given protection? The purchaser
who pays 150 a ton for ships and
finds within a few months that he
must compete with vessels costing
half or two-thirds as much would be
at a decided disadvantage.
"The nation must have a great mer
chant marine, ample to meet possible
contingencies of the future. While
we hope there may be no future wars,
it must be realized that if war comes
this country should have for its pro
tection a merchant marine strong
enough to serve the navy in carrying
supplies and fuel. It Is therefore es
sential that a broad policy be adopted
and permanently established by the
government.
Old Friends Greet Snoop. '
Paul Shoup, vice-president of the
Southern Pacific company, who was
formerly assistant general freight
..(tent of the Harriman system lines
at Portland, was greeted by many old
friends. He became president of the
Paclfio Electric company, operating

Collusion With Bolshevlkl Charged
by Polish Government In Com
plaint J-'iled.
PARIS, Sept. 7. Th6 Polish note to
the league of nations asking it to
mediate in the Polish-Lithuanian con
troversy says that while the Polish
armies were retreating before the
Russian soviet forces, the Lithuanian
government' concluded an agreement
with the soviet government at Mos
cow authorising the soviet army to
make use of Lithuanian territory for
its passage and the establishment Of
a military base. Thia. the note points
out. Was a breach of neutrality. The
note continues:
"Later when the Polish armies
were forced to withdraw from eth
nographic Polish territory as award
ed Poland by the supreme counc De
cember 8, 1919, Lithuanian troops oc
cupied th evacuated territory and
oemmitted excesses toward the popu
lations remaining faithful tbk Poland.
When the bolshevik invasion was
repulsed the Polish army reoccupied
Suwalki and the Lithuanian govern
ment sent a note to the Polish gov
ernment declaring it did not recog
nize the frontier, as fixed bv the su
preme council, and asking the Poles
to retire behind the line Of Grajevo
Augustowo. "The Polish trops . hare tried
throughout to avoid shedding blood,
but on September 2 a detachment of
Polish cavalry occupying Selny was
attacked by Lithuanian troops and
forced to evacuate the town. The
Lithuanian army then occupied Su
walki, and advanced upon Augustowo
without declaring war. It was ascer
tained the bolshevik! troops co
operated with th Lithuanians
"The Polish government was thus
faced with open and direct aggres
sion from Lithuania. There is no
doubt possible that the armies of
Lithuania are allied with the red
army, and that the Lithuanian gov
ernment has become the ally of the
soviet government.
"Owing to the fraternal relations
which during several centuries have
existed between the Polish and
Lithuanian peoples the Polish gov
ernment would have recourse to
force of arms only with great re
luctance.
"The Polish government has taken
all measures to prevent any contact
between its troops and Lithuanian
forces. It will avoid battle as long
as the strategical situation permits.
"Owing to the danger to Poland
created by the concentration of bol
shevik troops, which is now in prog
ress, the Polish government shall
Consider itself entirely free to proceed
with necessary military operations
to free Polish territory.
"The Polish government submits
the above facts to tha league of na
tions and requests the league to use
all the means at its disposal In order
to prevent the Lithuanian govern
ment from continuing to co-operate
with the Soviets and a-ause Lithuania
to abandon its strange enterprise,
thus preventing the Polish nation
from being under the painful neces
sity of waging war against a sister
nation."
