WASHINGTON. D. C, May 3. (Spe
ciaL) It is undeniable that in the
minds of some members of the foreign
relations committee of the senate and
in the minds of some other senators
as well there is a disposition to assert
riRht on their part to participate
in those negotiations with other coun
tries which are just ahead of us.
The adoption of the Knox resolu
tion and its form were wholly agree
able to President Harding and Secre
tsry Hushes and was not regarded by
them as any invasion whatever of the
constitutional prerogative of the
executive.
It is true that, as originally writ
ten, the Knox resolution for a sepa
rate Deace with Germany was in
form which invaded the constitutional
prerogative of the executive and was
feit by President Harding to be an
embarrassment in his conduct of our
difficult foreign relations.

tive continued up to the time Hard

Harding Also la Busy.
At one time one of the most power
ful republican senators declared pub
licly that it did not matter much who
had been secretary of state inasmuch
as the senate would be the pioneer
our foreign affairs. But since taking
office here. Harding In the gentlest
and yet firmest way has turned the
mind in developing any system
toads. Senator Townsend's bill ere
ates trunk lines and specializes on
roads connecting cities.
Gray Silver, Washington represen
tative of the federation, in this con
nection said:
"Reports show that the farmers rep
resent 60 per cent of the buying power
of the nat:on and that the cities are
as much interested in the farmers

disposition on its part. President
Harding brought it about that the
Knox resolution should be shorn of
those elements which constituted an
Invasion of the executive prerogative.
To President Harding's urging,
Knox and the other senators have
yielded with outward grace. If the
senators still have a feeling that their
superior knowledge of foreign affairs,
acquired through long study of the
complications of the league or na
tions, ought to give them a larger
fumer, must have his supplies denv
ered economically and regularly, and
to bring this about farm-to-market
roads must be provided.
'The farmers feel that ,it Is more
essential in the agricultural district
to extend a considerable mileage of
useful roads than to build a few per-
feet miles. In the construction of
highways the service which they are
called upon to render must be taken
into consideration, and they should be
hand in foreign affairs, they do not so built that they will carry in a sat
say so openly nor act on that con
viction. Move 1 Vital. One.
The Knox resolution in abbreviated
form in which it was adopted was
not only completely satisfactory to
President Harding, but it was an
essential part of the plan of Pres
ident Harding. and Secretary Hughes
in untangling the chaos of our for
eign affairs. There is not at the mo
ment any issue between President
Harding and the senate. So far as
there has recently been an issue the
senate has yielded gracefully.
The enormously difficult business
of untangling foreign affairs is wholly
in the hands of President Harding
and Secretary Hughes, and the way
In which they are going about it
commands the confidence and defer
ence of everybody in Washington, in
cluding congress.
The only faint rift in the lute Is a
certain degree of impatience on the
part of congress with delay in bring
ing about disarmament. It is plain
that President Harding and Secretary
Hughes, in their plans for our foreign
relations, do not consider that the
time is quite yet arrived either for
reducing our own armament or for
proposing an agreement for disarm
ament. Kor the moment congress is
willing to accept the judgment of the
executive on this point without
quiring into it closely.
But there can be no doubt that
by the time, now only about nine
months distant, when another appro
priation for the army and navy be
comes necessary, congress will expect
President Harding to have taken ade
quate steps toward disarmament, and
will refuse the necessary appropria
tions unless he has done so.

THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU
Washington, D. C. May 3. With the
appearance of K F. Blaine of Seat
tie. representing the Western htates
Reclamation association, the Hearing
before the senate committee on irri
gation on the McNary 1260,000,000
western reclamation bill, was Degu
today.
It was planned by Chairman McNary
to develop the hearings into a cam
paign of education for the members
the senate. He was confident
that with the general admission tha
prosperity cannot be established
upon a stable basis without a back
to-the-farm movement, he will ob
tain the sympathetic consideration of
congress.
In discussing the bill, Mr. uiame
asserted that it would not create
local industry, but that 17 states
would be covered by the projects that
could be developed under the me as
ure in its present form.
Wide Benefit Predicted.
Aside from this, he argued that the
entire country would be benefited
through the increase' in its food pro
duction. 1
The well-being of the nation, he in
sisted, is dependent upon the develop
ment of its agricultural resources so
that they will keep pace with its in-
-crease in population. unless i-nia
policy is pursued by the enactment of
such measures as the Dili oeiore tne
committee, Mr. Blaine asserted, the
time will soon be at hand when this
country, which now boasts or its in
dustrial independence, will be de
pendent in a large measure upon
other countries for its food.
Mr. Blaine said that the McNary
bill was the result of an extended ex
perience with and a 'careful study of
successful reclamation projects in the
west. He said that the interests of
the government and the prospective
settlers are care.ully guarded.
Size of Units Limited.
To encourage homeseekers and to
prevent large interests from taking
advantage of the bill. Mr. Blaine
cited the provisions which limit the
size of the farm units and called at
tention to the authority, which is
conferred upon the secretary of the
interior, to adjust the price of land
and the time of payments. Soldiers
and their widows would receive pref
erence in making entries and ex-
service men would receive preference
in employment during the develop
ent of tha project, he pointed out.
Mr. Blaine went at length into the
plans that are provided for the fi
nancing of projects through co
operation between the states ana
local interests with the federal gov
eminent. He explained how the bill
was so carefully framed that legiti
mate projects would be encouraged
without opening-a way for wild spec
ulation: The immensity of the proj
est that can be developed under the
bill was brought out by Mr. Blaine
in discussing the operations of the
evolving fund created by the bill. In

U. S. COCRSE XOT YET KNOWN
Representation in Allied Supreme
Conncll Undecided.
WASHINGTON, D. C May 3. I
the absence of formal notification,
officials declined tonight to coromen
on the decision of the allied supreme
council to invite the United States to
send a representative as a member
of the supreme council and also to be
represented on the reparations com
mission and the council of ambassa
dors.
All questions as to what policy th
American government would pursue
have invariably been met with the
statement that when such an lnvlta
tion was received it would be soon
enough for an answer.
The administration has not hesl
tated. to say it was interested in th
economic adjustments growing out of
the war. but has not indicated a de
sire to become politically Involved
in European settlements. Whether
this would result in the refusal o
such an invitation as was decided
upon today or the sending of repre
sentatives to sit at sessions of coun
cil and the commissions was not in
dicated tonight.
It is understood that the united
States still is hopeful of a solution o
the reparations controversy by dis
cussion, but whether it will consider
such a course would be furthered by
American participation in the allied
councils is problematical.

sufficient amount of the remaining

There will also be an addition of

on any bonds paid off will continue

that these bonds will be redeemed

The reparations commission will

dispose of them as it pleases.
American Views Desired.
The unanimous opinion was that
nothing further should be done at
present concerning naval action un
til the views of the Washington gov-
rnment were learned and only as an
additional means of compulsion in the
event that occupation of the Ruhr, if
carried out, should not prove suffi
cient to cause a surrender by Ger
many.
Mr. Lloyd George, th British pre
mier; M. Briand, the French premier;
Count Sforza, the Italian foreign min
ister, and M. Jaspar. the Belgian for-
ign minister, were agreed that
American susceptibilities must be
carefully considered. The British
nd French governments will con
tinue to examine means for a naval
action after final adjournment of the
council.
Unofficial copies of the American
note of Monday to Germany were cir
culated informally among the minis
ters, and it was wholly approved.
Ths representatives of the four
governments agreed that the United
States must be invited to send a rep

dent Harding informed the executive
departments of the government to
day they must end the habit of livin
beyond their allowances and the
calling on congress to make up the
dene it.
In a letter to each of his secre
taries, and in an extended discussion
at the cabinet meeting, the presiden
laia it down as a policy that on
grave emergencies should warran
expenditure of public funds prior t
their appropriation. He emphasize
his belief that the practice of malting
such expenditures without congres
sional authority was one of the most
dangerous tendencies" of admini
tratlve government, and one. of th
greatest barriers to national economy,
At the cabinet meeting there was
some discussion of creating a perma
nent commission to pass judgmen
ou emergency expenditures which de
partment heads might recommend
when congress is in recess or cannot
act immediately. ,
Conclusion Not Iteactaed.
The suggestion did not lead to
definite decision, but so far as
took form it provided that the chair
men of the senate and house appro
priations committees and the direc
tor of the proposed budget system
mould hold memoership on such
commission.
Mr. Harding sent his warning to
department heads at the necommen-
dation of Chairman Warreri of the
senate appropriations committee, who
pointed out deficiency estimates be
fore congress amounted to 3216.000.
000, and that others to be submitted
probably would bring the total above

Letter Is Quoted.
The full text of the president's let
ter follows:
I am in receipt of a letter from
Chairman Warren of the senate com
mittee on appropriations, calling my
attention to the fact that estimates
now before the congress call for ap
proximately zi6,ouu,ooo of deficiency
appropriations, and that the estimated
deficiencies will run very, much be
yond that sum. I do not know of any
more dangerous tendency In the ad
ministration of governmental depart
ments, and I am very sure that we
can never fix ourselves firmly on a
basis of economy until the depart
ments are conducted within the pro
visions made by congress.
"I wish you would call this matter
to the attention of the various bureau
chiefs so that a like situation maj
not be reported in future."

BRITISH COLUMBIA CANKERS

Feeling Aroused by Importation
of Japanese Product Caue
of Canadians' Action.
VANCOUVER, B. C, May 3. (Spe-
ial.) British Columbia cannerymen
have refused to unite, with the com
bination of canned fish brokers in
London, England, formed for the pur
pose of promoting the use of canned
(.almon not only in Great Britain,
but in Europe.
The stand taken by the local can-
erymen was that this province has
protested to the government at Ot
tawa against Japanese and Siberian
red fish coming into the Canadian
market on the ground that the qual
ity was inferior, and that the cost of
production being much lower than
hat of Canadian salmon, it was im
possible for Canadian fish to com
pete with Japanese packed salmon
in the Canadian market. On these
grounds the Canadian government
gave the cannerymen a protective
tariff on canned fish.
As the Canadian market takes only
15 per cent of the British ColumbU
salmon pack each year, and 65 per
cent goes to London, the local 'can
nerymen decided that if Japanese
competition were dangerous to Cana
dian canned salmon in a small do
mestic market, it would be propor
tionately more dangerous in a field
four times the size of the local
nvarket.
It is estimated that 400,000 cases
of Siberian red fish are now in the
hands of the brokers in London, and
a3 $5 per cent of the fish shipped
to that market is labeled after it
arrives in England with special la
bels prepared by the brokers, the

republican majority last fall, broke
into congressional proceedings today
with a demand that all postmaster-
ehlps be made Immediately available

is that if the president had insisted
upon all his cabinet members taking
the examinations they are giving out
to postmaster applicants, nobody but
Hughes and Hoover would have
qualified."
