111 SILESIA FEARED
American Intervention Is Re
, ; ported Sought
GRAVE ANXIETY NOW FELT
All Europe Apparently Conscious
of Impending Disaster; Sanger
to Allied Authority Seen.
LONDOIf. July 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) It was stated In
authoritative quarters today that in
formal suggestions have been made
lor American Intervention in the
upper Silesian trouble, which. It Is
feared, will threaten open hostilities.
The American government's policy
with respect to the Silesian. and sim
ilar disputes concerning- the fixation
of boundaries, It is pointed out, has
been one of non-intervention unless
the situation was held to be such as
to threaten an outoreak of hostilities.
It is understood now that representa
tions are being- made from certain
quarters interested in the Sllesian
situation that such a break Is an im
mediate possibility.
There seems good reason to believe
that the menace to European peace,
which it Is held the Silesian question
presents, is the real cause for the
postponement of further action on
the Irish question and other matters
of moment.
The Silesian question, it Is stated.
1s causing- grave anxiety to all the
governments of Europe.
Important developments In this
connection are expected within the
next 48 hours.
The British government is urging
the Immediate convening of the su
preme council to consider the compli
cations caused by charges that the
German protective organizations in
the district are still functioning, con
stituting a danger to allied authority,
which have been followed by de
mands, not only from France, that
the allied forces there be increased.
Such a meeting, however, has been
opposed by the French on the ground
that they considered nothing would
result therefrom, in which case the
situation would be rendered mate
rially worse.
It is understood In official quart srs
that Great Britain considers the dis
patch of more'troops to upper Silesia
unnecessary and impossible, and that
all the facts with regard to Silesia
already are available for the supreme
council. Lord Curzon, secretary for
foreign affairs, recently sent a note
to Paris suggesting that a meeting
of the supreme council be held in
Boulogne July 28. Prior to the dis
patch of this note it is understood
Lord Curzon held a conference with
the French ambassador here, with
regard to Silesia.
Silesia has shoved every other in
ternational topic Into the back
ground." it was said in a usually well
Informed quarter here today. "All
Kuropean governmental heads are
profoundly fearful of the conse
quences if the match Is. touched It
is impossible to say where the flames
' will extend." -
COMMISSION CAULS FOR HELP
More Allied Troops Declared deed
ed in Silesia.
PARTS. July 20. (By the Associ
' ated Press.) The British. Italian and
French commissioners in upper Silesia
have sent in a report in which they
' jointly demand that reinforcements
be sent to the allied troops of occu
pation, it was announced here today.
This recommendation came almost
simultaneously with the receipt of a
note by the French foreign office
from the British government in which
Great Britain insisted there was no
necessity for sending more troops
Into the disturbed district. The note
was in reply to the recent communi
cation in which the French govern
ment notified Great Britain that re
inforcements were needed urgently.
The British note reiterated de
mand for the early convening of the
allied supreme council.
M. Briand has not yet replied to
the British note.

SHARON, Pa., July 20. Thomas IX
Randolph, business man of Sharon,

Treasury Chief Will "Crge Prompt
Congressional Action to Aid
American Oriental Interests.
THE OREGOKIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. C, July 20.-Secre-tarv
of the Treasury Mellon has
agreed to approve the China trade
act sponsored by the Portland Cham
ber ot Commerce, for separate legis
lative action prior to and independent
of the general revenue revision bill.
In a letter to Secretary of Commerce
Hoover the treasury head made this
concession in response to an earnest
appeal by Mr. Hoover.
For some time it nan been rumorea
that the finance committee of the
senate, supported by the treasury de
partment, would ask: that the -nina
trade act be not enacted until the
general revision measure was taken
up, and that It be incorporated in
that bill. Secretary of commerce
Hoover argued that extra territorial
conditions in China, combined with
the big trade opportunities there and
the positive advantage now enjoyed
by other leading nationals over the
Americans, warranted separate and
immediate action.
A determined fight Is now being
made to get the China trade act out
of the Judiciary committee or tne
senate, where it has slumDerea lor
more than two months despite all ar
guments and appeals. It seemed quite
certain that the bill would emerge
next Monday.

the company is ' said to be upon an
exceptionally sound basis. Because
of this fact it Is the desire of the
corporation to take its customers,
and particularly its own employes,
into partnership and stock will be
offered them upon highly advantag
