TTTK MORVTXO OTfFOOXIAN", MONDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1920 CABLE CONFERENCE IS Five. Allied Powers to Corv ,L, tinue Negotiations. BASIS NOT FULLY KNOWN Agreement to Attempt Solution Be fore Adjournment Reported. Japanese Stand Is Issue. WASHINGTON'. Tec. 12. By theJ Associated Press.) Differences oVer the disposition of the former German cables which have threatened to break up the international communications conference, in session here, were tem porarily smoothed over today at a plenary session at the state depart ment. Negotiations between the five allied and associated powers represented in the conference will be continued. The basis for prospects of agree ment was not fully disclosed and it only became known that threatened disruption had been averted through cancellation of railroad and steam ship reservations by' foreign delegates who had planned to leave Washing ton for New York and San Francisco tonight to take their departure home. Session to Be Held Today. , Another plenary session will be held-tomorrow in the effort to reach a settlement. Plenary sess'ons last night and today were understood o have developed at least a better, un derstanding and an agreement that a solution should be attempted be fore adjournment. The results of these latest confer ences meanwhile will be transmitted by the foreign delegations to their governments "with requests for in structions. The- chancellories of Great Britan, France, Italy and Japan were understood to have become con cerned over failure to reach an am iable agreement as to disposition of -lie cables. Equality Principal The outstanding difficulties were understood to be the refusal of the 'apanese to concede the principle of quality of all nations in cable land ng rights on the island of Yap, in ne Pacific and the refusal of the 'rench to make concessions to "the 'nited States and Italy of the German rans-Atlantic cable seized by the ' '"rench in 1914 and diverted from Jmden, Germany, to Brest, France. The United States, together with Treat Britain and Italy, have argued for the internationalization of all ;Slands like Yap upon whicn cable communications of more than one nation are dependent. Japan was un derstood to have contended that Yap was awarded her without restrictions by the mandate given her by the Paris peace conference over ex-German Islands north of the equator and that the establishment of even the principle of equal cable landing rights at Yap would be contrary to Jap anese law. Trans-Atlantic Cable Songrht. The United States and Italy have isked for the ex-German trans-At-mtic cable now in possession of the rench, in order that it may be re - id between New York and Genoa, ily. They have supported their claim . :th the contention that while neither '.ily nor the United States obtained y of the German cables, France jw has in her possession, not only e trans-Atlantic lines, but also sev al of the ex-German systems skirt- :g the African coast. The delegates were understood to ive approved the work of the tech cal sub-committess, charged with afting provisions of international w governing the use of cables, ra- 0 and telegraph and the framing of 1 amalgamated telegraph and radio invention. These reports are ex acted to be submitted to the world " .ngress on communications next . jar in Europe. SALE TO E 'ctiox Of city property delayed over scxday.

It had been intended to complete te sale yesterday, but Indications lat there might be opposition under !ie state blue law caused the post ponement.

Listman of 1150 Haw- i iiorne .avenue, announced that after ajaaing in jot in diock. so ior ?iuu lie had turned it over to another ovfer for $3500. This gave him a profit of $600. Gift of Whisky Brings Many Visitors. Small Hem In The Orrgonlan Is Apparently ' Well Read. A N important, although short, item X cannot be so deeply "buried," even in a big paper like The Sunder Oregonian, but that the multitude will eearch it out. This great truth was again demon strated yesterday, when a news item not to exceed 200 words was published in The Oregonian under a small head, announcing that Dr. Henry Waldo Zoe, proprietor of the Morningside sanitarium near Portland, had re ceived from the government 200 gal lons of high-proof bonded whisky. Although the weather was not all that might be asked for, bright and early yesterday "morning and during the afternoon and evening, .too, for that matter the roads leading to the sanitarium were thick with automo biles, and before Dr. Coe was out of bed he had a. waiting list. Of course, none of the callers were there because they had read the item i BREACH AVOIDED about the 200 'gallons of honest-to-goodness whisky far be It from such but they were there. Dr. Coe said last night that he could not. under stand why he had so suddenly become thus popular until one of the early callers, rousing him from slumber be fore church-going- -time, accidentally let the provybial e.t out of the bag. "I envy you," said the caller. "How so?" queried the doctor. "Why, I feee by The Oregonlan the government gave you 200 gallons of whisky. Say, ye ain't got a drop fer a feller, have ye?" "By George, old man," replied Dr. Coe, almost weeping, "you know that whisky Is a life-saver? Yes, sir a life-saver!- I have 225 old fellows here in this sanitarium and, do you know, their greatest glimpse of real happiness is when they get a swig of that mellow stuff?" The caller was about to shed tears, but Dr. Coe reassured him and also "knocked him dead," as the boys say nowadays, by making this final state ment: "You see, that whisky is top pre cious to take any chances with. Too many burglaries - these times, you know, so to be sure it didn't disap pear, thereby tearing at the very heartstrings, of these old men here, I decided to put it in a safe deposit and even I couldn't get into that-vault before Monday morning, for it's locked." ' That was the story Dr. Coe told them all day long. And. they went away sorrowing. 1040 ATTEND CONCERT FIXE MCSICAI; PROGRAMME GIVEX AT AUDITORIUM. Mignon Chorus and Dixie Quartet, Local Organizations, Please in First Public Efforts. The number of paid admissions reg istered yesterday afternoon at "the public auditorium concert was 1040, the fine music programme being in charge of the Mignon chorus of women's voices and the Dixie quar tet of mixed voices, both directed,' with marked ability, by Mrs. Ella Hoberg Tripp; and pipe organ solos by Lucien E. Becker. Francis Richter was to have been organist, yesterday, but family affiliction interfered. His father, Frederick W. Richter, - died suddenly. It was an unlooked-for, pleasant surprise -to hear Mrs. Tripp's two vocal organizations in song rendition the Mignon chorus and Dixie quar tet, hardly known in this city. Both ciubs have been rehearsing for some time, but hxve kept quiet about it. The Mignon chorus sang with 32 young women's voices, in unaccom panied and accompanied music, and in splendid fashion. It is a club of talented amateurs who sing for the love of song, who have high music ideals and express , them, vocally. The expression, diction and tone quality are all that can be desired. "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" and ""Absent" will gratefully linger in one's memory. Two so prano soloists of the chorus, Delia Payne and Berth'a Ellingbo. sang finely ana exhibited clear, pleasant-to-hear voices. The Dixie quartet, consisting of Ella Hoberg Tripp, soprano; Jessie II. Hammond, contralto; Gilbert H. Char ters, tenor, and Earl H. Abbett, bari tone, have all good voices and sang with much success, especially in the "Sextet" (in quartet form) from "Lucia." Mr. Charters has a pure, fine tenor voice of excellent quality. Mrs. Tripp has also a good voice. Both clubs were cordially applauded, and extra numbers demanded, but Mrs. Tripp bowed her acknowledg ments. Mr. Becker played with fine suc cess these organ Clumbers: ."Over ture" from "William Tell"; "Gavotte," improvization from "Mignon"; "Holy Night"; "Pilgrim's Chorus," from "Tannhauser"; "Traumerei" (Schu mann), and "Grand March" from "Aida." Mr. Becker also was ccrdially applauded, and thanked for his kind ness in playing at such short notice. AMERICAN FILMS BANNED Germans Take Action to Halt Pop ularity of Motion Picture. BERLIN, Dee. 12. The war of Ger man film producers against produc tion of American-made motion pier tures, which have been smuggled into Germany since the armistice, was yes terday carried before the minister of finance and economics who, on the re quest of the German concerns, di rected police to prevent further ex hibitions. The American picturs proved so popular in the provinces that the Ger man producers complained they vir tually were unable to sell their prod ucts. Moving picture houses have been featuring sensational wild west films and cowpunchers, cowgirls and Indians proved prime favorites with German moving picture patrons. SUGAR PACT- IS BROKEN Dealers Tell Committee They Will Not Abide by Agreement. ',' ' NEW YORK, Dec. 12.

HARDEN CHANGES . VIEWS Bolshevik! Declared to Be ExploH-ing- Vanderlip to Iimit as Trouble-Making Factor. I BY CECIL BROWN. (Copyright by the New Yerk World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, Dec. 12. (Special Cable.) For the last 24 hours cabledTreports of increasing American-Japanese ten sion have eclipsed all else in'the Ger man news In popular interest. Most papers feature the controversy under the headlines "The American-Japanese Orisis" or variations on the fa vorite German theme of impending conflict between the two countries. The World correspondent overheard three German busine.sst men comment ing on an article in the Berlin Gazette headed "Tension between America and Japan." One of them said: "They will keep on talking about war until it really happens, the same as with us," and his friends agreed with him; Hugo Stinnes' organ, the Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung, expresses the opinion that W. B. Vanderlip's Kam chatka concessions have served to aggravate the differences over Im migration and -the Island of Yap cable questions, saying: "America's move in Siberia and Kamchatka have nat urally produced a very disquieting effect In Japan, and Lenine's dec larations surely will not contribute to the relief of the existing tension Japan will not want to wait so long that America will have created eco nomic and military bases on coasts near Japan. - Rcda Exploit Vanderllp. That the bolshevikl are exploiting Vanderlip to the limit as a trouble making factor is apparent from still another Lenine speech printed in the Moscow Pravda, the official organ of the soviet government. According to a reliable extract of the Pravda re port, telegraphed from Helsingfovs yesterday, Lenine received Ameriej.i socialists and told them: "The Amer ican representative openly admitted that in the event of a war with Japan the United States would need a base in eastern Asia, and he gave- us to understand that if we sold Kam chatka to America, America w'ould recognize the soviet government. The Kamchatka treaty has not yet been signed, but the soviet government is prepared to meet the United States half way, and the more acute rela tions between the United States and Japan become, the better will be Rus sia's prospects." The bolshevikl appear pleased with their propaganda1 results so far. The Berlin communist organ. The Note Fahne, rejoices that "Agreements be tween Vanderlip and the soviet gov ernment are already bearing their political fruit and quotes a Washing ton dispatch to the Paris Temps to the effect that Japan would sharply oppose concessions in Kamchatka and northerm Siberia. - Harden Changes Opinion. . It is surprising to note Maximilian Harden suddenly changing his opin ion about conflict between America and Japan, which he has heretofore consistently pooh-poohed as a favorite deduction of the. German mentality. Arguing from the premise that Am erica has changed from predominant ly agricultural to a predominantly in dustrial state, and that such a condi tion, if of long duration, would bring to a head the economic crisis already begun. Harden says: "The yield of American agriculture no longer suf fices. T'ft United States must Im port additional foodstuffs and needs great foreign" markets for its surplus of manufactured articles unabsorb able at home. Behind America stalks the industrial state of Japan with similar import and export needs. 'The status of both America and Japan is approximating that of Great Britain. Only these three nations have strong fleets, .and they alone are therefore able to wage a world struggle. - They cannot for long avoid the choice between -a mutual under standing and figiitlng. . ' World Picture Changed. Tfi e main features of the World picture have changed and vanished is our dream that North America would feed tHe world, while Europe places its industry and trade on their healthy feet again, and agree to ac cept manufactures in payment." The usually sober, democratic Ber lin Bourse Courier has a pessimistic vision of an economic struggle be tween America and' England ending n a new world ws.r. The Bourse or gan argues that the recently passed measure to protect Britain s aniline 1 dye industry is merely an overture to a series of British.-. protective meas ures, and while they may be ostensi bly aimed at Germany they are really meant for America. It continues: De termined Great .Britain now enters upon an economic duel with the new world. It is girding up the loins of its mighty- economic body with tariff boundaries and will begin the com bat with America when the time for an open challenge comes. The end of this protectionists world move ment will be a" world economic strug gle and finally, despite the league of nations, war in a few decades if there Is not a radical change. Europe, will then stand Just where it started, In 19li and will perhaps touch off again a war of continents." . The German world- of big business and finance is apprehensively scan ning the American horizon for eco nomic developments. Nervous sensa tions were caused in these circles when Gehelmrat Peter Kloeckner, who like Stinnes and Thyssen is a great enptain of the coal and iron in dustry, recently told a meeting of stockholders: "We are in the first stages of a great economic crisis which is already spreading in Amer ica and England and is knocking at the doors of Belgium and France. Unquestionably -this crisis will scourge-us too and bring with . 'it a great money shortage and unemploy ment." - Business Failures Reported. Reports of business failures and wholesale discharging of workmen in America were important factors is depressing the Berlin Bourse yester-day-- "It Is almost a sensational phenom non that .the United States, too, euf fers from the same economic disease of the times," says the Vossiche Zei tung's economic expert. "It Is now ob vious that we let ourselves be de ceived by false appearances when we envied America as the laughing heir of dying Europe. It is not mere chance that the. crisis has been most acute ia America so far." The writer blames the "shortsight edness of the entente victors for breeding the world economic crisis." A favorite German economic argu ment today is that the abnormally low rate, of exchange of the mark is the direct cumulative result of the terms of the armistice, the conditions of the Versailles treaty and the Spa coal agreement, and that these factors are therefore to blame for the fact that Germany cannot buy American cotton, corn and other raw materials nd foodstuffs that Germany badly needs and which the United States must export. - Boyers Given W. urn in jr. At the same time the warning has gone throughout Germany againsv "premature buying," the argument be ing that since America must unload its accumulated stocks 'of raw ma terials for the most part in indispen sable Germany, Germany can afford to wait a b't longer until tumbling American . prices reach bottom. It in also figured that soon after President elect Harding takes) office a state or neace with Germany will be declared and German' property in America will be restored in full to Its German own ers, thereby giving a big boost to tho mark. " , From these viewpoints, reports of p. powerful syndicate's plans it America for using the impounded German property as security basis for huge raw material loans to Germany arouse little enthusiasm ifi financial circles here. It is suspected -that "merely American efforts to unload hug stocks of raw materials at the high est, possible prices" are behind suah plans.

The league of nations deadlock and other prob lems to be faced by the next admin istration were talked over between President-elect Harding today nd Herbert Hoover, cn kdvocate of the eague, who came here as one of tins first men to be summoned by Mr: Harding In his promised "meeting of minds." 'Ve went- over jabout the whole, gamut of world and national trou bles," sad Mr. Hoover after the con ference, "and we j solved none of them." Besides the league. International condition and European relations were the particular subjects on which the president-elect sought the ad vice of his visitor and there also were references to appointments Mr. Harding is to make In constructing his administration. DlHcuRslon Is Casual. Mr. Hoover frequently has been mentioned for possible membership in the cabinet, but he said .today's discussion of appointments was cas ual and not conclusive. In giving hs advice on an inter national peace concert, Mr. Hoover is understood to have urged strongly that parts of the Versailles covenant be used in whatever world association the Incoming administration may at tempt to build. He said material changes must be made in the treaty, but took the position that the frame work embodied In it should be util ized as far -as .possible. Mr. Hoover was an adviser to the American peace delegation at Ver sailles, and he is understood to have furnished Mr. Harding with muCh first-hand information on the atti tude of European statesmen. Many of the president-elect's questions re lated to 'economic conditions abroad with which Mr. Hoover is familiar. Early Indemnity TTra-ed. Mr. Hoover declared the amount of indemnity to be paid by Germany, left Indefinite by the peace treaty, should be fixed early so that Ger man industry could gauge its activ ities to fix the tax of payment. Ad vising in regard to American eco nomic relations with Europe, he told Mr. Harding that one of the surest ways to prevent the undermining of American industry was to encourage investment of American capital enterprises abroad. The financial situation at home also was discussed, Mr. Hoover mak ing several suggestions for the stab ilization of American markets. On the question of farm relief, he ad vocated a general policy of extend ing credits to purchasers rather than to producers, on the theory that such a plan in the end would permit farm prices to find their proper level. Mr. Harding took a keen interest in his caller's descriptions of relief work now in progress under his supervision and arrangements were made for Mr. Harding to become personal sponsor for 250 European children, who are to be aided by American contributions until the next harvest. The contribution for that number at $10 each, was made by Mr. Harding some time ago. NEW PARTY PLANS DRIVE Farmer-Labor Leaders Arrange for " Aggressive Campaign. CHICAGO, Dec. 12.
