Criticism of Methods Employed at
Arms Conference Is Re
garded as Probable.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.
(Copyright by the New Yorli Evening Post,
Inc. Published by Arrangement.),
WASHINGTON, T. C, Feb. 21.
(Special.) President Harding has al
ready paid some of the price pf secret
diplomacy in the emotion it must
have cost him to tell the senate he
had no information to give about the
negotiations leading up to the four
power treaty. When the president's
letter was given to the senate, one
of the senators remarked, with a
sarcasm of which the country will I
hear more later: "Surely there is
some mistake here; that letter isn't
from President Harding; that must
be one of those old letters that
President Wilson sent to the senate
in 1913."
This is the sort of thing with
which the democrats are going to be
devil Harding, Hughes and Lodge,
especially Lodge. The negotiation of
this tour-power pact was Just as
secret as anything Wilson did at
Paris; and the democrats are going
to dig up some of the preserved
horror with which the republicans
filled the congressional record during
the league of nations debate.
Suspicion May Be Stirred.
There is no denying that this sort
of thing may stir up some popular
suspicion; and, while at present the
great probability is that this as well
as the other treaties will be ratified,
it is also probably a fact that the
four-power pact is at the height of
its popularity now and that, as in the
case of the league of nations, all the
developments that come out from
now on will tend unhappily to un
dermine the, present popular confi
dence. If it were not for a sense of in
ternational responsibility for a hesi
tancy to give the world for a second
time the spectacle of the United
States senate upsetting the work of
a great conference, the present demo
cratic sullenness would express it
self in thorough-going opposition.
Situation Embarrasses Hughes.
It is going to be embarrassing for
Hughes to explain, when he is sum
moned before the senate foreign re
lations committee, on his return from
Bermuda, just why this part of the
conference was bo secret when the
rest was so open.
It will be hard to explain why his
negotiations with Mr. Balfour and
Baron Kato could not have been re
ported as promptly and completely
as were, for example, those extremely
acrimonious passages between the
British and the French about the
submarines.
It will be hard to give a good rea
son why the speech Mr. Balfour made
after the treaty was written, in which
he explained frankly that its purpose
was to placate Japan for the crea
tion of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
could not just as well have been
made In advance of the adoption of
the treaty.
Partial Explanation Possible.
There is one partial explanation
that may be made which is of a tech
nical nature and not likely to be very
persuasive. It is to the effect that
the four-power pact was not the
business of the conference as a whole,
but of a group within the conference.
Also, there is just a possibility that
Mr. Hughes might be able to say, if
he chose to, that he wanted these
negotiations open, but was overruled.
One fundamental fact about the
conference which must be remem
bered in respect to everything that
was done is that this was not an
ordinary parliamentary body in which
the majority rules. In the conference
every decision had to be unanimous.
An objection from any one power
was Buxiicient 10 aictate.
Harding, as well as some othet
statesmen seems to think that secret
diplomacy means only secret bar
gains not made public until the oc
casion for their operation arises.
Public Wants Fnll Data.
They think that if the results of
negotiations are given to the public
promptly, that is sufficiently open
diplomacy. But the more modern
public opinion insist that not only
the results of negotiations but also
the negotiations themselves shall be
made known to the public from day
to day, so that if there is popular
approval for a course that disap
proval can express itself in time
to change its course.
This whole embarrassment is a
lesson to convince statesmen that
secrecy of negotiations must go into
the scrap heap along with big navies
, and a good many other of the older
institutions of international rela
tions. Here was a conference that had
the good will of the world to an
enormous degree, and its results now
' are jeopardized by an undermining
of popular confidence and the arous
ing of ft suspicion against, not neces
sarily the merits of a treaty, but
merely the method by which it was
negotiated.
COMPENSATION CASE UP

agreed to finance the company until

that the McCormick's spent around

While Mr. McCormick has refused

SUMMER WORK FOSTERED
Greater Oregon Club to Promote
Study of Special, Courses.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 21. (Special.) The officers of
the summer section of the Greater
Oregon club have been announced by
E. F. Carlton, superintendent of
Eugene schools and president of the
society.
The purposes of the organization
are to encourage attendance at sum

school attendance in Oregon, and to
encourage attendance, especially, at
either the campus session or the term
at the Portland center. When the or
ganization was formed in 1914 it
was called the "500 club," because its
object was to get 500 students.
place, but she expects .to continue
with the company as an artist, "where
she belongs and knows she belongs,"
It was, announced today by her sec
retary. Howard E. Potter.
Mr. Potter said Miss Garden would
make no definite decision until she
had conferred next month at Chicago
with Samuel Insull, the new presi
dent of the Chicago Opera company.
The diva had received a $250,000
offer from a New York" manager for
a concert tour, and she had many
other interests which she had found
it impossible to carry out, he said,
because ot the demands on her time
exacted by the position as director
of i he opera company and ht at
tending "responsibilities, anooyancea,
troubles and harassments" of tflat po
sition. Miss Garden was out of the city
today.
Desire la to Quit.
Her secretary said that if Mr. In
aii l Insisted that Miss Garden wis
needed and must remain at the head
of the Chicago organization, she
would do so, but that she felt It mora
worth while to quit.
Last year the demands of the posi
tion cut her vacation to six weeks,
and that is not enough rest for an
artist, Mr. Potter said. Besides, he
added, Miss Garden receives no pay
as director her salary 4eing only
that for her singing.
Unless Mary Garden resigns a di
rector, of the Chicago Opera company
Lucien Muratore, the leading tenor
of that organization, will not sign a
contract to sing with the .comoanv
next year, he said today at his hotel,
where he is recuperating from an ap
pendicitis operation. If some one is
named to succeed Miss Garden and a
contract is offered Muratore, the
tenor said he would be "very happy"
to continue with the company.
Diva Poor Director.
'As a director I do not like Miss
Garden; she is impossible." he said.
'On the stage she is all right As
an artist, a mouthpiece, I would be
giaa to appear with, her, but not il
she Is also the director."
Mr. Muratore said he "had made all
this clear in a "face to face" con.
versation recently with one of the
officials of the company.
Wilde's famous work was art and not
immorality. After numerous protest!
were received, the performances of it
were canceled.
The Civic Opera association now is

season of the company, and it was
contingent upon the success of this
campaign that Miss Garden was tv

NEWS NO SHOCK TO CHICAGO
Resignation of Impresario Said to
' ; Have Been Expected.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Samuel Insull. oresi
dent of the Chicago Civic Opera asso
ciation, which has charge of the Chi
cago Opera company, declared he was
not surprised when informed today
that Mary Garden planned to resign
as director.
"There is nothing for me to add to
Miss Gardens statement," said- Mr.
Insull. "I have known for some time
that she planned a reorganization tt
her personal affairs, and it is onlv
'natural that she should tire of the
arduous duties of directing a company
of grand opera singers."
"It is not to be wondered that Miss
Garden wishes to return to her life
as a singer only. We regret very
much that these are her plans, but we
feel that we should not in any way
oppose her wishes in such a personal
matter."
Miss Garden's announcement of her
coming resignation was not entirely
unlooked for in Chicago operatic cir
cles generally, for there had been
many rumors of it, although none of
them seemed to have any real basis.
Se was appointed late in the 1920-1921
season.
The Chicago company underwent a
tempestuous season under her guid
ance. She shocked the opera world
with an announcement that she in
tended "to put jazz in Chicago opera,"
but explained the statement by say
ing that she merely meant to make
opera attractive to the average per
son and to do away with the idea that
opera was for the rich only.
Her plans gave Chicago its most
brilliant opera season, but just before
the company went to New York fot
the 1922 season it became known un
officially that the deficit for the year
might run as high as $800,000. the
greatest deficit ever Incurred.
This deficit will be met by Harold
F. McCormick icnd Mrs. Edith Rocke-
equipment not only is the most mod
ern I have seen, but in' addition is ex
ceedingly well placed for expeditious
handling of grain."
Since the Gray-Rosenbaum Grain
company, entered the Portland field
as wheat exporters on September 1,
1921, it thrice has filled the grain
elevator and ha been forced at times
to utilize the pier for storage of
wheat, handling in all approximately
4,000,000 bushels.
Should the negotiations now pend
ing, be consummated, Portland will
become one of the most important
operating points of this large wheat
exporting company.
Option Held on Buildings.
"It is Impossible, at this time, to
give any definite announcement of
what will occur," declared Mr. Gray.
"We hold an option on these holdings
and we know full well that the Pa
cific northwest is k the country of
future opportunities. Likewise we
feel that we made no mistake when
we entered the Portland field for
wheat exporting. -
"Hence, if the valuation that we
are having made of. the Portland
Flouring Mills comes up to expecta
tions, it is quite likely that we will
close the deal. The work of the Valu
ation will go on for at least SO days,
and at the end of that time it will
be necessary to submit our findings
to the various officers of our com
pany for' confirmation." ,
Credit Given Mayor Baker.
Mr. Gray said yesterday that Mayor
Baker was largely responsible for the
. entrance of - his company into the
Portland field, and for that reason
he requested the mayor to accompany
th riarty. on the inspection trip.
Since Mr. Gray was in Portland last
September, he has made two round
trips to Europe for his company. He
said yesterday that he hopes some
day to arrange his affairs so that he
can come to the Pacific coast and
make his iiome.
"I was born In San Francisco," he
said, "and I like to call it my home.
For the last few years, or since 1914,
I have been dividing my time be.
tween New York and Europe, with
Europe getting the best end of the
deal. But whenever I come west
get the fever that gives me the desire
to stay out west."
The party will remain in Portland
for about four days. The wheat men
then will travel to California, stop
ping in San Francisco and Los An
geles, and later will go east.
Included in the party were . Mrs.
Fj. N. Gray, Mrs. M. Marx and Miss
H. W. Nunlist, private secretary for
Mr. Gray. All of the women were
interested participants In thalnspec
tions made by the party, and all
displayed keen knowledge of the in
trades of the grain business.
