THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, JULY 4, 1JV1 WEEDED MONEY HELD HOARDED IfJ SOCKS Hays Plans Reorganization Of Postal Savings." UNCLE SAM IS CENSURED Government Said to Have Prot ileered at Expense of Deposit ors Last Year $1,720,000. SULLIVAN, Ind., July 3. A billion dollars which should be in circulation to assist the coming: Industrial revival Is being: hoaraed In American stock ings. Will H. Hays, postmaster- nn eral. declared today In announcing: Plans tor revision of the postal sav Irgrs system to make it more attrac tive to potential depositors. The present treatment of depositors In the postal savings bank, he said tonight alter conferences, amounts "almost to fraud" while the govern ment has profiteered at the expense of the depositors to the sum in the last year alone, of i 1,720,000 he added. Bankers Approve Plan. His plan of reorganization, which will be submitted to congress, has been approved by bankers of the east and middle west. Mr. Hays assured the bankers that he had no intention f entering: into competition with pri vate savings banks, but hoped only to make the postal bank a feeder of established Institutions. He pointed out that doubling the present interest rate would still leave It below the average paid by the savings banks. Private banks cannot hope to reach the vast hoarded wealth Which offers a particular field for postal savings expansion, Mr. Hays explained. Seventy per cent of the present 108,000 depositors are of foreign ex traction, and they will trust no one but the United States government. Plan Is Outlined. Mr. Hays' plan Is as follows: 1. Increase the Interest rate from I to 1 per cent. 2. Payments of Interest on deposits held le-ss than one year. 3. Removal of the restriction against depositors under 10 years of age. 4. Provision for Joint and trust funds. 5. Establishment of postal savings banks In 60,000 postoffices instead of 6300. 6. Compensation for fourth-class postmasters on the basis of the de posits they handle. 7. Redeposit of the funds tn local banks, with more liberal qualification rules for such depositories. S. An enlarged board of directors, Including a representative of the fed eral reserve bank and possibly one or more civilians. Business Declared Sick. 'There is a lot of business In this Country that is really sick, still stag gering under the shell shock of war and the debauch of extravagance," Mr. Hays said. "But there is a good deal more that la merely malingering. There is the greatest era of expansion and prosperity ahead that the world has ever seen. Everyone knows this and the only question discuseed is when will it start? Well, it is time to go out and met it. This we propose to help to do. "The postal savings system must be reformed. With 1181.000.000 on de posit last year from 508,000 depositors and with the law providing that per cent interest be paid, the govern ment, because of the system, paid less than 1V4 per cent to those depositors and by redepositing at 2H per cent Interest made a net profit over all Interest payments and expenses of $1,728,000. Profiteering; Is Chanced. "This was sheer profiteering. The certificates issued unequivocally pledge 2 per cent Interest and fail to say anything whatever about no in terest being paid if the deposits are not left for a year. The postal sav ings has not scratched the surface, notwithstanding the magnificent con ception of public duty that inspired its founding. "We do not want depositors from savings banks, but there is a tremen dous hoarded wealth in the country, estimated by many well informed at 31,000.000,000, which the postal sav ings bank alone can bring out. "This money is needed in circula tion now. It will make general bank depositors and ultimate government bond owners out of the timorous; it will give small capital a chance for an honest return the same as large capital; it will furnish the tonic to conclude the business convalescence In the country and will help to make economy and thrift a much-needed national trait." BEGGARS ARE IN SOCIETY SAID TO FCR.VISH REPORTS OF ALMS-GIVIXG. Mendicants Averred to Have Made Rules Governing Manner of' . Asking for Charity. PHILADELPHIA. July 3 f Sn- 2!on.rhThe "un"-P" of proleS: aional beggars begun by the police a month ago has resulted In the im prisonment of 105 persons who sought an easy living under the pretense ot being totally incapacitated Incidentally, the quick disposal of such cases has also virtually cleared the central business streets, the big field of such workers, of such nui sance. Philadelphia is not the only city making war on mendicants, but is only helping in a nation-wide move ment started several weeks ago by the police in the southern cities In view of the fact that all such char acters "go south" for the winter It was quite natural the police in the south were the first to uncover the beggars' truBt" or "union." That discovery was first made by the police of Richmond and Norfolk In raiding a cheap lodging house the police of those cities say they came across books and letters which ac tually proved there was an organiza tion of a certain class of "drifting traffic." Unlike the Hobos' association, whoso members made no secret of their "profession." the beggars of the "Knights of the Big City." as they call themselves, were operating se cretively. The books and papers showed they bad organized several branches in different cities. The central or main branch was operating from Rich mond. Va. They had regularly paid "business agents" who wero sent out from time to time to New York. Chicago, Pitts burg. Boston. Baltimore and Phila delphia, St. Louis and Denver. . The duty of these business agents was to get a line on the "trade." When a report was sent back the news would be sent to the members of the pro fessional beggars' '- union and in a short time a flood of such creatures would be seen on the streets of the cities "paying big money." Under the rules of the organiza ton a city of the third class was only allowed to be "worked" for two weeks at a time. In New York. Bos ton and Philadelphia they were a lowed to Btay a month. The amount of dues which each member paid never was made public. All these facts were proved to the local police when they first opened up the drive against beggars on Market ant: chestnut streets. When the beggars were searched letters were found which thy had received from members of the union telling of conditions in other cities. Warnings to look out for this and that street and addresses of persons who gave their money freely were noted in the letters. The police said many of the prison ers did have slight afflictions, but were in no way Incapacitated. On the other hand, there were sev eral sad cases of persons who are totally blind. These are in nearly every case licensed by the city as peddlers. As long as they do not block the highways and continue to sell they will not be bothered, the police say. In the meantime the reputation which Philadelphia once bore among such characters as the "softest city" in the union, has now become the terror. The drastio sentences of from three months to a year imposed on such offenders by Magistrates Renshaw and Carson has made the knowing ones step clear of Market and Chestnut streets. FEEDING PLAN DEVISED OLD WORLD LEARXS IMPOR TANT LESSOX FROM AVAR. American Farmers Xow Must Culti- vate Home Market, Is Declara tion of Ralph Barton. BY RALPH BURTON. (Copyright, 1821, by The Oregonlan.) WASHINGTON. D. C. July 3. (Spe cial.) Europe has learned one all- Important lesson from the war the lesson that each nation must be as nearly self-supporting as possible and that self-support is possible only when agriculture is flourishing. It was due largely to the efficiency of German agriculture that the kaiser was able to continue the fight as long as he did and France, England and the other nations of the old world are now devising schemes as inclusive as possible for the promotion ot agri culture among their own peoples. All this has a very direct bearing upon the American farmers and the circumstance is partly responsible for somewhat unfortunate economic con ditions at the present time. Before and during the war Europe was the great market for surplus American farm products. But now foreign trade is dwindling. particularly foreign trade in farm produce. The American farmer must cultivate the home market, for it Is about all that he has left the nations abroad are raising so much more than ever in the past of their own food supplies. Moreover, Argentina and Brazil are coming Into prominence as sources of farm products. But perhaps, after all. the greatest cause of trouble for the farmer lies in the fact that his is the most speculative of businesses and that so much inevitably has to be left to chance. Storms, hot and dry weather, floods and lightning are among the forces with which tne farmer must gamble, and in many of the middle western states damage from hall may wipe out an entire crop. v Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agri culture, has recognized the situation that confronts American agriculture nd believes that the remedy lies mainly with the agricultural colleges. They have, he points out, done ad mirably on one very important job -that of increasing and making more efficient farm production. "The farmer needs all the training In production that the colleges can give him." said Mr. Wallace, "but the most urgent need now is the develop ment of an entirely new realm of or ganized knowledge of the economic factors which will enable him to cheapen his production and improve his distribution. "Our period of exploitation is prac tically at an end. If our production is to be maintained, agriculture must be put on a thoroughly sound business basis. This means that we must not only increase our production, but must learn better methods of distribution, find less burdensome schemes of finance, and. in addition, learn how to take some of the speculative risk out of farming." The farmer is not only at the mercy of the weather, but, unlike the manu facturer, he cannot control his posi tion, nor can he say much about the price of his product. He cannot fore cast public demand nor can he adjust his production of different crops to meet the needs of the consumer. Several farm organizations recog nized these facts and believe that the plan of Senator Capper to eliminate gambling on the grain exchanges will do much to eliminate artificial specu lative risks from the industry of agri culture. They also favor co-operative marketing arrangements for stabiliz ing their work. The middle man. say these farmers. Is taking altogether too large a slice of the profits and they have at their finger tips figures which show graph ically just how large the toll is from the chances taken. The tendency of certain farm groups to unite with organized labor Is another effort to gain liberation from the operation of economic pressure exerted by the in terests which are able to fix prices of farm products at borne. Secretary Wallace has not yet an nounced a definite programme for work in farm economics tn the agri cultural colleges, but the organized efforts of farmers is at least an effort to supplement such a programme if it is finally developed.

WAR TIMES RECALLED Allies Are Declared Still to Be Waiting for Constructive Pol icy Problems Xoted. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Ex-French High Commissioner to America. (Copyright. 1921. by Tne OregonUn.) PARIS. July 3. (Special Cable.) Independence day,, which the United States celebrates tomorrow and in which France joins whole-heartedly, Invites us, as all anniversaries do. to look back to the past for a better un derstanding of the present. July 4. 1817 The United States had just entered the world war unre servedly and ardently. But the United States was unprepared for war and her great financial, military and In dustrial power, which It was my mis sion to co-ordinate with ours, was hardly organized. But together we were laying the cornerstone for a great edifice. Before the Washington monument, we were proclaiming the justice of our common cause and the strength of our hopes. But none dared be sure of the result. It was possible that German militarism might triumph over free nations. Arrival In France Recalled. July 4, 1918 Since May Americans had been arriving In France at the rate of 300.000 monthly. Moreover, I had succeeded in increasing from 250, 000 to 500,000 monthly the tonnage of American munitions and foodstuffs for our country. But the allied armies had just suffered terrible setbacks on the Somme and at Chemin Des Dames. The fronts, however, bad been con solidated and we were ready for the final test of the German July offen sive which was destined to lead to an armistice four months later. July 4, 1919 One week had elapsed since in the Hall of Mirrors at Ver sailles, which had witnessed the triumDh of mitrht of 1871. the con quering allies bad signed the peace of right, the peace which restored liberty to oppressed Alsace-Lorraine, to Bo hemia, Poland, Croatia, Slovenia. The Tyrol and The Treatlno. obliging Ger many to abandon her militarism and repair the damage her rggression bad caused. The peoples confidently ex pected that the conquerors through a durable union would put into practice those principles on which the con science of humanity was in agree ment, j Nothing Declared Done. July 4, 1920 The treaty had been In full effect since January 10, but the allied governments had done nothing to insure Its execution. They had let Germany violate with impunity the clauses prescribing partial disarma ment March 10 and April 10. At Hythe and Boulogne, conferences the allies had abandoned the basic principle of the treaty, namely the full reparation of damages, in favor of the German debt by naming an arbitrarily fixed sum to be paid. At Spa, the allies had promised Germany hundreds of mil lions of francs for coal which the treaty obliged her to deliver free. Since March the American house had refused to ratify the treaty and Ger many, encouraged by the obvious dis agreements a month later began im prudently to reject her plain responsi bilities and most imperative obliga tions. July 4. 1921.. The tendency of last year Is still further emphasized. At conferences in London and Paris. France. England and Italy have granted Germany further time for disarmament. In May France's claims had been reduced by 50 per cent. A burden of 90,000.000,000 francs, repre senting almost half of the reparations and pensions fixed upon thus, passes from the thoulders of tha German tax payers to the French taxpayers. German Taxes Declared Light. Germany, contrary "to the treaty, continues to pay lighter taxes than France. Disregarding her signature and despite the plebiscite results Ger many claims all of Upper Silesia. Europe, having revised and mutilated the solemn contract which was to be her charter la a prey to improvisa tions. Defy'ng the conquerors of 1918, Constantine has remounted the throne of Greece. These five anniversaries constitute an entire lesson In history. One per ceives In them how a most magnifi cent effort and the most bloody sacri fices may become largely sterile it continuity of purpose is lacking. The economic situation resulting from this political situation is sad. Every act of impudence is permitted and the reign of law seems farther away than ever. The week just passed of-.rs nothing to relieve the melancholy which reflection on these five anni versaries engenders. Conferences Are Fruitless. The allied governments have not yet found the boundaries of upper Silesia. Greece boldly pushes aside the pacific advice of the great powers. Therefore, the Briand-Curzon con ferences, which the semi-official press said would settle these controversies proved fruitless. No common view point or concerted plan exists be tween London and Paris. The Italian cabinet crisis brings the risk of still further troubles in inter allied relations. Moreover, there still is no indica tion of the direction American policy will take. All of this being the truth, I think it should be told. I further believe that we must not de spair. During the war at delicate moments, which, after all. were more serious than these peace time crises, the allies made many blunders. In the long run, however, the common sense of the peoples rose above the mistakes of the governments. Eventually, the right men were found to set matters straight and the war was won. The indifference to politics, observable to all coun tries at the moment, will not be eternal. The day will come when intelligence and determination will reawaken. On that, day, the bad naDits oi recent montns - 'in oe swept aside and the constructive policy for which the allies so long have been waiting will be put in operation. ALLIANCE INTENT GOOD (Continued From First Page.) party conclude a treaty of general arbitration with a third power, it is agreed that nothing in this agree ment shall entail upon such contrac ting party an obligation to so to war with the power with whom such treaty of arbitration is in force.' "This provision in its relation to the United States has often been made the subject of conflicting inter- pretations. To a practical mind, however, the circumstances 'Which led up to its inclusion should at once serve to remove all doabt regarding its significance. The idea of revising the alliance in 1911 was conceived primarily with the object of facili tating the negotiations which were known to be in progress then be tween London and Washington for the conclusion of a general arbitra tion treaty. "Neither Japan nor Great Britain has ever contemplated under the al liance any casus foederis prejudicial or inimical to the interest of the United States; and any plan designed to remove the possibility of an armed conflict between the United States and Great Britain was, -of course, agreeable to Japan. - Article Four is Cited. "It was In pursuance of this policy that the quoted provision of article 4 was adopted. "The same policy inspires Japan as strongly today as ever before. It has not. in any degree, been affected by the fact that the Anglo-American general arbitration treaty failed to obtain the approval of the United States. Nor is It practically neces sary to carry on the legal analysis of the question as to whether the peace commission treaty, signed and ratified by the United States and Great Britain in 1914, should be con strued as a general arbitration treaty within the meaning of article 4 of the Anglo-Japanese agreement. "For. apart from that question, it was already well understood at the time of negotiating the existing agreement that the alliance should in no case be directed against the United States. Explanation Is Made. "Ih explanation of Japan's attitude Count Uchida. the Japanese foreign minister, made the following state ment to the budget committee of the Japanese house of representatives on February 4, 1921: " 'As far as I understand, when ar ticle IV of the treaty (Anglo-Japanese alliance) was inserted, the United States was specifically in mind and therefore, as a practical matter the question whether the general arbi tration treaty mentioned In'article IV has been ratified by the United States senate or not makes no particular difference. In other words, looking at the matter from a broad point of view, we can safely say that already at the time of the conclusion of the treaty (Anglo-Japanese alliance) it was understood that there should be no application of this treaty to the United States.' Friendship Declared Sought. "Japan is naturally anxious 'to strengthen the ties of friendship and loyal co-operation between herself and the British empire, which she re gards as ot the utmost importance to the stability of the far east. At the same time, it is the firm and fixed determination of Japan to permit nothing to hamper her traditional re lations of good will and good under standing with the United States. She is satisfied that these two affiliations are In no way incompatible, but, on the contrary, complementary and even essential to each other. "Charges have sometimes been made that the alliance tends to encourage aggressive designs on the part of Ja pan in China. If this were the case It would be contrary to the preamble of the agreement, which provides for: " 'The preservation of the common interests of all powers in China by insuring the independence and integ rity of the Chinese empire and the principle of equal opportunities for the commerce and industry of all na tions in China." "Japan fully realizes that such ad venture of aggression would not only be hopeless of attainment, but de structive of her own security and welfare. She sincerely wishes for China an early achievement of peace, unity and stable government. She desires to cultivate her relations with that country along the path of mu tual respect and helpfulness. Her vast commercial Interests alone, if for no other consideration, point un mistakeably to the wisdom of such a policy. This Is a basic principle of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. In no adverse direction has the alliance ever exerted its influence." EDUCATORS MEET TEDAY NATIONAL ASSOCIATION" TO CONVENE AT DES MOINES. Omaha Bishop Terms Philippine System One or .Swiftest Pedagogical Triumphs. DES MOINES, la., July 3. The general session of the 59th annua convention of the National Educa tion association will open formally in thgr Coliseum here tomorrow morn ing. At a general Inspirational meeting tonight. Bishop Homer C Stuntz of Omaha addressed the edu cators on the problem of educating the other half of the world. Bishop Stuntz described educational condi tions in India, China, Malaysia and the Philippines. "Great Britain," he declared, "has established five full-fledged uni versities itl India, which, with their affiliated schools, are giving the be ginnings of a modern education to one-fifth the human race." Dr. Stuntz characterized the edu cational system of the Philippines as the swiftest pedagogical triumph ever witnessed outside of America. "There are now twice as many Fili pinos speaking English." he said, "as could ever speak Spanish, and the United States has had 20 years while Spain had 300 years for this task." The programme will be devoted to a discussion of the -American pro gramme In education as it is related to the various departments of edu cational work. This programme will be discussed In Its relation to the work of the school principal, of the class-room teacher, of teacher train ing institutions, of colleges and uni versities, of city school systems and In its relation to the programmes of various state departments of edu cation.

POLICE BROUGHT BY SHOTS Consternation Reigns Along Dock as Unexpected Fusillade Is Begun In Hold. NEW YORK. June 29. (Special.) A modern pied piper on board the pas senger steamer Dante Allghleri. moored at pier 25. North river, with the assistance of a pistol expert, em ulated the famed piper of Hamelin and unintentionally gave the police and pier workers an uneasy half hour. Like every other vessel in port, the Dante Alighieri has been troubled with wharf rats. According to l.ng shoremen, the rodents crawl up haws ers, sometimes leap aboard and have even been known to walk the gang plank when seamen were not looking. Domlco Corigliuano, appointed rat catcher by Storekeeper Psssano. has been having his hands full getting rid of the rodent stowaways ever since the steamer came into port. The rats passed up attractive morsels of poisoned cheese. Traps proved equal ly Ineffective. Then Corigliuano re called the story of the piper of Hame lin. He talked the story over with Fassano. an expert pistoWma: '.isman, who thought it a capital Idea. Both adjourned to the storeroom. closing and barring the iron door. While Passano stood by with pistol poised. Corigliuano played enticing Italian melodies on his piccolo. Outside on the pier customs and pier guards barked in the suns'-ine as they watched longshoremen wheel ing cargo aboard. Suddenly a pistol shot was heard from the interior of the ship. "Vork ceased as everyone turned -their eyes deckward, waiting for assailant to appear. Then ano'.her shot and Thomas McGoldrlck. pier guard, hurried aboard, drawing his automatic. He found the place of dis turbance, but his progress was barred by the door. . Returning to the pier. McGoldrlck ran to the street and summoned Traf fic Policeman Harms. . Harms blew his whlstlo and was joined by two other policemen. Sounds of further firing were heard. McGoldrlck brought a sledge hammer. He pound ed the iron door without getting a response. Then there were sounds of unbarring the door and policemen and pier guards wailed to pounce up on the supposed murderer. The door opened, revealing Cori gliuano and Passano, their faces wreathed in smiles. "What's all the shooting for?" demanded McGoldrlck. "Oh. rats," said one of the police men. And it wasn't an exclamation, for there stood Passano with three large rodents in one hand and a pistol In the other. Corigliuano held a mu sical instrument. The storeroom was mussed up. Italian cheese had been so riddled with bullets that it resembled the Swiss variety. The policemen resumed their beats the customs and pier guards returned to their resting places, and the long shoremen began anew their job of wheeling caro aboard. Execution Date Three Times Set. WARSAW. Three different times Captain Merion Cooper of Jackson ville. Fla.. while In a bolshevik pris oners' camp in Russia for nine months, was notified that he was to be shot at sunrise. Then, for hcurs preceding the time set for the sup posed execution. Cooper was grilled by soviet authorities, who pretended to believe that he was a representa tive of the Amerioan government. When the hour of execution came round no bolshevlki appeared, but Cooper was never notified otherwise, being left in suspense day after day until he escaped. DAILY METEOROLOGICAL BEPORT.
