TIIE MORXIXG OREGOXTAX. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 4, 1923 IMS PARLEY OVER, EXCEPT FOR FRILLS Delegates to Say Good-Bye in Speeches Today.' WORK TO BE FINISHED Administration Already I Moving to Suspend Work on IS War ships Under Construction. WASHTXaTON. D. C. Feb. . (By ths Associated Press.) Except for ths formalities and frills that are to attend its adjournment, the Waah-lnKto.-a conference on limitation of armament sxd lr-estern questions is OTir. At a plenary session tomorow the remaining treaties and resolutions are to be formally approved and the chief delegates are to say good by to one another In speeches expreaaina; the gratification of their groTernments over the conference accomplishments. On Monday at another public meet in ir. the treaties will be signed and sealed and President Harding will de liver to conference valedictory In a brief aAdresa. Already the administration, look ins;' upon the conference agreements aa accomplished facts, is moving; to suspend work on the 11 battleships and battle cruisers now under con struction but destined for the scrap heap under the naval treaty. The president does not plan actually to begin the scrapping process until the treaty has been ratified by all the powers, but he hss asked the nsvy department for information on which an order suspending construction soon is (o be issued. T"f Treaties ts Be Made, la Utatr final round-up of the far eastern actuation, the conference lead ers decided today to put their con clusions into two far eastern treaties and a number of supplementary reso lutions. One of the treattea will deal with revision of the Chinese tariff and the other will embody the Koot four polns" and the "open door" policy, iioth will have aa signatories all nine of the powers represented here. Actual negotiations on the far east ern problems came to an end today with statements delivered In the far eastern committee setting forth the' position of the American and Chinese governments toward the "21 de mands." Dr. Wang said China viewed with satisfaction Japan's announce ment yesterday Uiat group five and some other clauses of the "demands" would be withdrawn, but reserved her right to protest the parts remaiulng. Secretary Hughes asserted that the American government still stood on lis rmhts in the matter, as it had as serted them when the demands" were laid down by Jfepan in 1915. and there the discussion ended without action. Tws Treaties ts Be Acted Oa, The only treaties to b formally given cbnference approval at tomor row's plenary session are the two re lating to China, but there will be a fmal ratification of the surplemen tary resolutions that have been adopted in the far eastern committee and probably aa exchange of notes definitely to exclude the Japanese homeland from the scope of the four power Pacific treaty signed December 13. The session will begin at 10:10 A. M.. a half hour earlier than usual. la anticipation of several hours o( farewell oratory. On Monday the delegates will sign the naval treaty, the submarine and poison gas treaty, the two treaties relating to China and the supplemen tary notes to be attached to the four power Pacific treaty. The agreement regarding Yap. to which the United States and Jspan alone are parties and the six-power settlement allo cating the former German cables In the Pacific are not yet In treaty fcrm. It Is expected they will be rressed to conclusion In the near fu ture through the regular diplomatic channels. haataaa Pact May Cease Cs, It is also possible that the treaty between Japan and China, embodying the Shantung settlement, may be signed at the conference table Monday. Tomorrow's plenary session, which really will wind up the conference after exactly 12 weeks, is expected to develop little discussion on the treaties and resolutions themselves. Besides these two treaties on the far east, several of the IS resolutions adopted In committee on Chinese questions are to be put Into declara tory form and formally accepted by the powers. The decisions thus treated are those which merely carrj out legislative governmental policies and do not require parkamentary rat ification. Among the non-treaty subjects not relating to China which are to be em bodied in the aeries of conference res olutions are the project to call an other International conference to re vise the rulea of war and the decision to put into the conference records the declarations made here by the I'nlted Slates and Japan regarding Siberia The American. Japanese and Chinese delegations on the "twenty-one de mands" may slmillarly be formally entered on the record tomorrow. 11 u sea Reviews Attitude. Secretary Hughes today reviewed the American attitude on the treaty of 11S between Japan and China and made it clear that not alone the pow ers belonging to the Chinese financial consortium should benefit by the Japanese concessions In Manchuria which Japan announced yesterday she would throw in to the consortium, bul that ail other powers having rela tions with China should be understood to possess the same advantages The secretary is also understood to have made the point that citizens of the I'r.ited States should possess the same rights which Japan claims la Man churia. During discussion of the treaty concerning the revision of the Chinese tariff, Arthur J. Balfour of the British delegation put the ques tion as to whether the understanding ex. eied that other world powers, not signatory to the document, should be expected to adhere to its terms. Sen ator Underwood of the American dele gation Is said to have replied that It was expected that a a powers would observe the treaty. grapple with him for the revolver, and after that came mental blank nese, she declared on the stand. Girl Sla-aa Staresaeat, A signed statement of the little girl which was made' to police offi cers the night of the death giving a version of the shooting other than that told on the stand today was introduced by the state and admitted as evidence in an attempt to Impeach the girl's confession. Queried again and again by the state's attorney as to minute details of the happenings, she stuck to her declaration and when faced sentence by sentence with the written account of the fatal shooting which she had signed St the police station the night or .November 6, ehe only replied "I don't know," sometimes becoming impatiently emphatic in her denial. All evidence In the case was in by i:xo o'clock this afternoon. The ease is expected to go to the Jury Satur day. Mother and daughter were named In D&nielson's will as heirs to his 14000 estate.

League for Industrial Democracy Starts Move Designed to Pre vent Mine Strike. NEW YORK. Feb. S. The League for Industrial Democracy, an organi zation of engineers, economists and labor experts, today launched a move to. block any attempt on the part of coal operators to Increase the Drlce of coal to cover wage Increases de manded by union miners. It was announced at headquarters here that a committee of experts was being formed to Investigate the rela tion of the price of coal to labor and other production costs. "A strike of anthracite coal miners will result April 1 unless the present controversy is adjusted." asserted Harry W. Laldler, director of re search. "Behind this controversy. is an oper-shop attack on the union Itself and on the principle of col lective bargaining." The league was organized recently as successor to the Intercollegiate So cialist society and Is patterned after the Shavian society of England, founded by George Bernard Shaw.. Elevation of industrial conditions in all fields to the point where "produc tion will be for our use. not for our profit," is the league's programme. HUMPHREYS' JOB EYED Talk of Making Change Xext April Heard In Capital. THE OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU.' Washington. IX C, Feb. S. Hints were heard around the department . of Justice today that consideration is being given to a change of the United J States district attorney at Portland next April. While the term of Major Lester F. Humphreys does not expire until November. IS24. there will have been eight years of democratic In cumbrance in the Oregon district at torneyship next April. The question to be decided by the department Is whether to permit Major Humphreys to serve out his terra or to create a vacancy In favor of some republican. When Mr. Wilson became president In March. 1911, many republican district attorneys were re quested to resign to allow of the ap pointment of democrats, but so far this administration has been more considerate of democratic Office hold era of that class. WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. S. (By the Associated Press.) Congress fi nally cleared the way today for the opening of negotiations looking to the refunding of the $11,000,000,000 loreign debt. The bouse, by an overwhelming ma jorlty, agreed to the senate amend ments to the refunding bill and the measure was sent to the president iir. riardlng Is expected to approve It. as he did not press his objections to the senate chairmen after he had discussed them today, first with Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee. and. later with Secretary Mellon, who is to head the commission of five authorized to con duct the negotiations with the debtor nations. Appointment of the other four com missioners by the executive is looked for within a short time. It was made known today at the White House that Mr. Harding planned to name two members of the cabinet and a member each of the senate and house. Among those gossip connected with the ap pointments are Secretaries Hoover and Weeks. Senator Watson of In diana and Representative Longworth, unio. Negotiations Not Plaaaed. hlle plans for conducting the negotiations with the debtor nations have not yet been formulated, it was said today in informed quarters that they probably would be conducted both In this country and abroad. There has been some discussion of general conference of representstivea of the United States and the DrinciDal allied powers to discuss the whole subject of tho war debts of those na tions. Those favoring this plan have argued that it was not to be expected that the debts owed the United States could be refunded without reference to the debts owed among the allied powers themselves. Great Britain advanced to Its. do minions and allies, including France and Italy, approximately J9, 500, 000,- uuu, while France lent nearly $3,000, 000,000 to its allies, principally Rus sia and Italy. As finally enacted the debt refund. Ing bill was unsatisfactory both to the administration and republican leaders of the house, but it was said that objections to It were not pressed. Chief objection centered In senate amendment requiring that the re funded obligations mature not later than June 15. l47..and that the mini mum interest rate be 4 per cent. Secretary Waives Objections. Secretary Mellon was said to have held, however, that these limitations would not be insurmountable in the refunding of the debts of the larger nations and that if they prevented the refunding of the debts of the smaller and newer nations the com mission could seek additional author ity from congress. In the discussion In the house. Rep resentative Mondell of Wyoming, the majority leader, and Mr. Fordney argued that the United States should not he in the position of imposing too great a time limit on the debtor nations or demanding what Mr. Mon dell called "a round, fat Interest rate." They said that personally they fa vored Imposing no restrictions on the commission. Democrat Opposes Bill. Representative Garner of Texas, ranking democrat on the ways and means committee, and others on the minority side, objected to the senate amendments as not roing far enough in the matter, or limiting authority as to the time that interest payments should begin. Mr. Garner said It had developed that It had been the plan to defer the maturity or the bonds in the case of some countries for as much as 50 years. A separate and record vote was taken on the amendment carrying the restrictions as to maturity date and minimum interest rate, and it was agreed to, 299 to 26, on a bi-partisan vote. down during the last half of the year and no new legislation involving ap propriations was enacted, he said, expected the indicated deficiency of $24,500,000, as estimated by the budget bureau In December, would be avoided. Ageaeles Declared Helpful. The various co-ordinating agencies. General Dawes said, had been most helpful in the reorganisation of gov ernmental business. High officials who sat with th president at the meeting included Vice-President Cooildge, Secretaries Mellon. Denby and Wallace, General Pershing. Admiral Coonts, Under Secretary Fletcher of the state de' partment and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of the navv. Both the president and General Dawes announced a direct saving of $32,000,000 and Indirect savings of more than $104,000,000 accomplished In less than six months through the operation of the co-ordinating agen cles of the budget bureau. Harding Praises Endeavors. President Harding declared he doubted "if any government In the world has made a more persistent and conscientious endeavor to cut down its expenditures and institute economies and restore sane and normal ways again" than has the American government. Mr. Harding expressed the further opinion that the efforts on the part of the government toward economy had been reflected among the people at large. "I cannot but feel that the govern ment has in the budget organization set an example of care and thrift that has herped greatly to make saving fashionable. If to some extent the government has been a leader in a so praiseworthy cause, we ought all to be gratified to have had a part In th affair. Much of the extravagance of the government has been due to lack of sense of Individual responsl biltty and the same Is true in the cor. porate businesses and the private af fairs of the people. If our effort here shall set a standard and Inspire an ambition for greater economics and higher efficiency, we shall hav served not only the government, but the whole public particularly well Perhaps our example will be of aery ice to the world. Opposition Is Reiterated. . The president reiterated his op position to deficiency appropriation and made a plea for an understanding among officials of the government 'that the common good, not depart mental advantage, is the end at which all of us must aim. Discussing the prospects of a sur plus instead of a deficit, as was gen erally expected, Mr. Harding appealed for a continuation of the "careful and painstaking - effort which has been made continuously during the first half of the year." and added In a business so great as that of the national government, unexpected receipts will not Infrequently swell the total of calculated revenues. It seems likely that this win De true during the current year. But despite this possibility it now seems probable that the restrictions upon expenditure which have been possible by reason of the administration's general policy and your splendid co-operation would have resulted in a surplus of receipts for the year. One prospect of such a surplus when contemplated with the estimated deficiency of $24,500,000 that was outlined in the budget fig ures submitted to congress in De camber, is certainly an occasion of much satisfaction to all of us." Director Dawes said the formation of the co-ordinating boards was the installation of routine business methods into the government and as the only Important effort made in 130 years to curb the riotous and dis graceful extravagances of business organizations that run without head, each man trying to get what he could for his own department." The co-operation of the members of the cabinet and their subordinates to the efforts of the co-ordinators as whole. Mr. Dawes said, had been re markable.

And here are brooms that do not meet those specifications, but sweep just as well. The navy bought IS. 000 of its specification brooms when it could have had 350,000 army brooms for nothing." The budget director went on to say it took a month's persuasion to make the marine corps adopt a slight change In color In order to use 100, 000 army shirts and save $24,000. He told Secretary Denby, however, the record of the navy for co-operation with the bureau was the best of the departments. Cs-operatlon Is Discussed. As an Instance of co-operation in the treasury, he declared that when it was found there were 13 different purchasing agencies in that depart ment their co-ordination was effected without delay. "Secretary Mellon la a business man," he added. Legislative and executive heads of the government "determine how the ship - sails," but the budget bureau "determines bow far she "tails," Mr. Dawes said at another point and added: "If congress should decide that garbage should be spread on the White House steps much as we love the president It would be for the budget bureau to advise how the largest amount of garbage could be spread in the most economic manner." Director Dawes said that although the budget law was enacted to cover expenditures commencing with the fiscal year 1923, appreciable results were being obtained through execu tive pressure and guidance. Figures Are Presented. Under the economy programme th actual figures received from the de partments for the first six months. Mr. Dawes said, indicated that the total expenditures for the present fiscal year. Including transactions in the public debt, would not exceed the estimated figure of $1.967.92 J. 365. reduction of about $530,000,000 under the estimates made by the heads of the departments at the beginning of the year, and a reduction of over $1,600,000,000 as compared with ex penditures for 1921. This, he said. was borne out by ordinary expenses for the first six months of the year, which have totaled $1,837,907,432, in cluding interest on the public debt. IX expenditures coatiaua ts be held Indi cation of better business conditions generally in the principal South American countries was reported to the commerce department today by its representatives. In Mexico, how ever, the economic situation was said to be unchanged. A better outlook for Argentina was reported by Commercial Attache Feeley of Buenos Aires who declared that Argentine exchange on all coun tries is moving more favorably, due to the increased exports and station ary imports, the Improvement being reflected in a resumption of buying li all lines. Importation of American automobiles has begun again, he said, and there is an improved demand for hardware, textiles and specialties. The number of American salesmen in Argentine, however, he added, con tinues to decrease and there have been a number of withdrawals oi American houses. Little change In the business sit uation in Brazil was seen by Com mercial Attache Schurz at Rio de Ja neiro, although the tone of the mar kets, he said, was gradually improving. Business is generally much re stricted in Chile, according to Com mercial Attache McQueen at Santi ago and -do change is likely to take place, he declared, until the appear ance of indications of an increase in consumption of nitrate In Europe and North America during the coming spring. New purchases abroad in large quantities, he said, could not be made until exports increased and ex change became stabilized. Peruvian business conditions are improving, but not materially. Com mercial Attache Dunne at Lima stated. The Peruvian government's financial programme, he reported. calls for- an external loan of $50. 000.000 to be guaranteed by the cus toms receipts. Little, if any Improvement In th economic situation in Mexico was r.cted by Commercial Attache Hovey Kink at Mexico City. The industrial depression continues, he says, and the situation calls for the exercise of cau tion on the part of American ship pers and business interests engaged in the Mexican trade. Higher Import duty is expected, he reported, and there is a tendency to Increase the import taxes as an aid for domestio industries. germ liusTei PLOT IS DISCLOSED Transfer of Huge American Enterprise Proposed.

STINNES WAXIi STREET BOGEY Name of German Croesus Smashes "Way Into Big Business. NEW YORK, Feb. S. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The name of Hugo Stinnes one to conjure with in Ger many has smashed its way Into Wall street. Big business, particularly ths steel Industry, is interested, and is asking if Stinnes has designs upon the com mercial and Industrial activities of this country. Various reports have come to me United States concerning plans of the German Croesus to extend his inter est to thts country, where heretofore he has been little known. But the first concrete evidences of his plans came vesterdav with the announce ment that he was negotiating with several American railroads for the sale of 15.000 tons of German rails at price, including freight, about a ton less than the current American nrice of $40. A mere 15,000 tons'is a relatively small offering, worth less than S500.00O at Stinnes' price. But it was pointed out, it is a very fair sised initial offering. Whether Stinnes will follow up his Invasion of American markets by ef forts to acquire control of American ndustries is a question mat time alone can solve. The United States is one of the few countries in the de velopment of which he apparently has taken no hand. There have been re ports that Stinnes was contemplating a visit to the United States to meet American capitalists, but no date was set for the visit. Credited with controlling b.vuu.uuu marks of capital and with being me moat powerful figure, industrially. In Germany, Stinnes rose to the crest of his power during the war. He It was, say his enemies, who conceived the Idea of deporting Belgian workers to Germany, and who heaaea tne mer man interests that expioitea .Belgian ines and other resources curing tne occupation. Reports of his purcnases, oi ms consolidations " and reorganizations became a matter of almost daily chroniciling in the newspapers. Ship yards in Sweden, mines in Austria and Sweden, steel plants In Denmark, oil wells in South America newspa- ers. oaDer mills, hotels, streetcars. shbe factories, aniline dye works, mo tion picture producing plants all were grist for the Stinnes mill. In one of the latest reports, he. fig ured as a pawnbroker to the Russian soviet government, . the story being that he had advanced Lenlne a large sum on the Russian crown jewels.
