THE 3IOUMXG OKEGOMAX, SATURDAY, J AXUAIIY 7, 1922 U. S. OFFICIALS SAY LITTLEABOUTRUSSIfl Impression Given That Dele gates Will Go to Genoa. RECOGNITION IN DOUBT o Indication Seen of Change in Last Announced Decision Not to Have Intercourse. WASHINGTON', D. C, Jan. 6. (By tlie Associated Tress.) American of ficials are unwilling to comment, at tlie present stage, on the deliberation of the allied council at Cannes, but they have given the Impression that tlie United States will be represented adequately at the economic conference at Genoa in Starch. The prpondcrance of official opin ion Just now seems to favor Ameri can participation by fully accredited delegates, rather than by unofficial observers, but that Is a point that will have to be decided when the detailed purposes of the conference have be come known. In regard to the reported proposal of the council to recognize in effect tho soviet government of Russia, the attitude of the Washington govern ment is less clear. Some Officials Imprriwrd, Outwardly, however, there has been no Indication pointing to a change of opinion since the American refusal .o recognize or have any intercourse with the soviet officials was set forth :n Secretary Colby's note of August, 1 920. It was known that some officials of the present administration have been much Impressed by the argu ments advanced for soviet recogni tion and resumption of full trade re lations with Kussia, but on the con trary repeated discussions of the Rus sian situation at President Harding's cabinet table have also developed a strong opposition to finy recession from the position taken heretofore by the American government. High Official Say Nodiinx. What may be the reaction from the decision of the allied council, tending toward recognition through Russian participation In the economic confer ence, remains to be seen. No official advices as to the plan for Russian participation or the conference proj ect itself had reached the American government tonight, and meantime high officials both at the White House and the state department re fused to comment. The proposal to hold an interna tional conference, however, to devise means for European financial rehabil itation, is not a new one. Administration officials have fore seen such a development for several months, although they have held that the initiative should come from Europe. It has been the expectation of some, at least, that the United States would play an equal part with other nations in the negotiations. United States Must Choose. In the view of these officials the United States, under present condi tions, must choose between the alter natives of being an actual factor in the conference or holding entirely aloof. It has been expected, there fore, that the American government would be represented by men fully acquainted with the economic and financial difficulties of the world. " In some official circles the sug gestion has been advanced that be fore consent Is given to send repre sentatives to an International con ference of this nature some under standing as to the ultimate disposi tion of the foreign debt to this coun try would be sought by the United States. This debt hns been regarded in some quarters as the most im portai.t question which could arise at the conference because of Its inter-relation to the future financial plans of the nations and for this reason it wag thought possible the United States might wish it clearly understood that its position with re gard to ultimate payment would not be modified through its participation. Budgets to He Revised. Reorganization of the currency and budget system of the foreign coun tries, it was believed, will take a prominent part in the discussions in an effort to reach a sound basis for the rehabilitation of the nations, whilo consideration of reductions in expenditures by the foreign govern ments. It Is thought, will include the question of land armaments. By some officials it was suggested tonight that mere participation of Russian representatives In the con ference would not in itself be taken as recognition of the soviet govern ment. The Russian situation, it was said, was one which could not well be disregarded in any canvass of Euro pean financial elements, particularly since all of the great powers are in active In trade relations with the Rus sians. In that canvass, officials said, there might naturally be a feeling that the best available means of rep resentation for Russia must be adopt ed without In any way prejudicing the powers as to the question of for mal political recognition. Washington Parley Cited. It was recalled that the Washing ton arms conference, in Its discussions of Chinese tariff questions, has taken somewhat the same attitude. The tariff sub-committee Included both Germany and Russia among the na trons it held should be represented on the commission that is to revise the Chinese customs schedules, but dele gates said no question of soviet rec ognition was raised In their discus sions. The latest official expression of the American attitude toward recognition was the note of Secretary Colby sent to Italy in August of 1920, but by their exchanges with soviet officials in relation to resumption of trade re lations the present state department officials have echoed some of the same opinions then expressed. "We cannot," said the Colby note In Its direct application to the question, "recognize, hold official relations with or give friendly reception to the agents of a government which is de termined and bound to conspire against our institutions, whose diplo mats will be the agitators of danger ous revolt, whose spokesmen say that they sign agreements with no inten tion of keeping them." the confiscation of their stills. Each had a good-sized plant in his resi dence and both were in operation when the officers arrived. They found in Corboffs house 15 gallons of the finished product, 25 gallons of corn meal mash In the process of cooking and three gallons of the first run. In Kolza's place there was only a small quantity of moonshine, but there was a large quantity of mash in the vat. Both Plants, while small. were complete and it is believed that they bad been in operation tor a number of months. Corboff and Kolza are in the county jail. The of ficers found 10 children at one place and 11 at another, but they declare that the families will not starve, as there is enough cornmeal and pota toes in, both houses to keep them. BRIEF FOR SLAYEH FILED SEW HANGING IiAW DECLARED AGAINST BILL OF RIGHTS. Elvic Kliby's Case to Be Appealed to V. S. Supreme Court if Lost In Oregon. SALEM, Or., Jan. 6. (Special.) The argument that restoration of capital punishment In Oregon was 'a plain violation of the bill of rights and that the legislature exceeded its authority when It proposed the resolu tion restoring the deatn penalty in this state was advanced by attorneys for Elvie Kirby, alias James uwens. in briefs filed in the supreme court here today. Kirbv and John Rathie were con victed of participating In the murder of Sheriff Til Taylor in Umatilla county in July, 1920, and later were sentenced to be hanged. Subsequently their cases were appealed to the su preme court -with the result that the verdict of the lower court was af firmed. The defendants then were re sentenced and the date of the execu tions was fixed fr December 3 of last year. Kirby's attorneys filed habeas cor pus proceedings looking to the release of their client. Judge Bingham of the Marion county circuit court denied the writ, whereupon an appeal from his decision was filed in the supreme court. As a result of the court pro ceedings Governor Olcott reprieved both Kirby and Rathie until late in February. Attorneys for Rathie held that neither the people nor the legis lature has any right to subtract from the bill of rights, although it iswithin their power to make amendments. In restoring the capital punishment law the attorneys alleged that an effort was made to repeal a part of the bill of rights. Because of the prominence of the Kirby case In criminal circles, it was intimated today that the supreme court will set the arguments for an early date. In this event not many months will elapse until a final opin ion will be forthcoming. Should the supreme court hold against Kirby, his attorneys have said that they will appeal the action to the United States supreme court. m mm ENGLISH GIRL BRIDE OF GEORGE S. LOCKWOOD.

SOVIET 13 INVITED TO ALLIED PARLEY Germany Also Is Asked to Economic Session. SUPREME COUNCIL ACTS Bolshevik Propaganda Is to Stop and Immunity From Attack Is .Granted Each Side. (Continued From Flrt Page t "Washington Lump Coal, $9.75. EDLEFSEXS." Adv. will be invited to the conference, but no mention was made of Turkey. The conditions in the form of resolutions are: "1. That the nations claim the right to dictate to one another the prin ciples according to which they shall organize their Interior systems of property rights, government or po litical economy. "2. That it is Impossible to induce foreign capital to come to the aid of a country unless the foreigners who furnish the funds are certain their rights will be respected and that the profits from their ventures be as sured. "3. That this security cannot be considered and established unless na tions or governments of nations de siring to obtain foreign credits under take freely to recognize all public debts and obligations contracted by a state and restore confiscated prop erty or indemnify the victims of con fiscations, j "4. That nations must have a suit able medium of exchange and mone tary system and must offer proper guarantees to trade. "5. That all rations must under take to abstain from all propaganda subversive of public order or of po litical system established in other countries. "6. That all countries must under take to abstain from all aggressions upon their neighbors. "If the Russian government claims official recognition In order to assure development of its commerce, the allied powers can accord the same only upon acceptance of the foregoing stipulations." - The declaration followed an hour's speech by Prime Minister Lloyd George In which he used plainer lan guage than had been heard at any preceding meeting of the council. Mr. Lloyd George warned the allied powers that they could not look to any others but themselves to work out the economic rehabilitation 01 Europe. He appealed to the allies to set aside prejudices and work to gether to this end. Dcctnlve Action JVeeded. Mr. Lloyd George declared the allies had reached a point where they must act decisively and broadly if the economic structure of Europe was to be saved. It has been said, he continued, that Great Britain was suggesting this course in order to escape her obligations but he declared this was untrue and that England was pre pared to carry out all her obligations. Asking permission to speak frankly on the subject of German reparations Mr. Lloyd George said: "This is Impossible unless it can be by general agreement of the allies. Failing this the fruits of peace will rot ungathered." "The allies," he continued, "must make allowance for each other's opinions. Too much has been heard of individual claims and in this all the allies have just claims. It is recognized then all have suffered and suffered some it is true, more than others. All the sacrifices are not recorded in evidences of devasta tion. England's Sufferings Cited. "I aslc leave to speak for my own country," Mr. Lloyd George con tinued. "It has been assumed that she did not suffer from the war. This is grossly- untrue. We are paying 110.000.000 in pensions alone and 100,000,000 to the unemployed. These are but two results of our participation. Our taxes are the highest in the world." The British premier said he had always been placed in the dangerous position of seeming to stand up for the Germans and that denunciation of this apparent position, was a cheap way of winning applause. "I am not a pro-German apologist," he declared. "When Great Britain advised against rushing Germany into bankruptcy she did not have tne interest of Germany at mind although Germany always had been England's best customer. The worst thing the allies could have done would have been to rush Germany into the same position as Russia now is in, where she would be in greater danger and where anarchy would be enthroned among a much more efficient people." The danger, of course, would be greater for those whose frontiers are closest. Despite misrepresentations at home and abroad, we are return ing to the counsel of common sense. "Germany's capacity to pay de pends upon her foreign trade. State ments as tc her International wealth ore misleading and inconclusive. Her export trade must revive if she must pay what she owes. It Is now only 25 per cent of the pre-war figure. The restoration of eastern and south eastern Europe is vital to the health of the world. If the allies do not do it, who will?" Mr. Lloyd George declared the re sponsibility rests upon its victory. If they only try to escape it. they will be condemned by tne voice of our public which voice is expecting us to act. Hope In Pat In Policy. "Hope will follow the policy M. Millerand ' enunciated at the Lympne conference in 1920," contin ued Mr. Lloyd George, "when he de clared France was ready to take up relations with Russia the day she proclaimed solemnly that she would respect the obligations of every kind taken by her predecessors with for eign governments. If Russia wants recognition she must recognize her honorable obligations and agree not to attack her neighbors. And we must insist that her neighbors do not attack Russia." Among the conditions adopted by the council in the form of resolutions was the stipulation that "nations cannot claim the right to dictate to another the principles according to which they shall organize their in terior systems of property rights, government or political economy." Prime Minister Lloyd George, in his only brief reference to the United States during his address today be fore the allied supreme council de clared: "I was sincerely hopeful that the great republic of the west might have joined hands with us. I will not presume to express any opinion upon the attitude of that country. It jhas its own reasons." Mr. Harvey Is Informed. supreme council adopted its resolu tion inviting the United States to par ticipate In the International economic conference, the invitation was pre sented to Ambassador Harvey by M. Briand. The ambassador told the delegates he would forward it by cable to the state department tonight and that pending a reply he would say nothing. The United States was not specifi cally mentioned in the resolution so as not. it was stated, to give the Im pression that the allies were press ing America to join. Mr. Harvey, commenting on the Cannes situation, said to the Associated Press tonight: '-'The most striking thing about the present session of the council, as con trasted with the previous one held in Paris in August, is the effect Wash ington has had on it. They got down to business right away and did things just as they did at Washington," NEW YEAR'S WORK BEGUN PARENT - TEACHER COUNCIL HAS ALL-DAY SESSION.
