THE MORNING OREGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, APRITj 12, 1923 EFFICIENCY HELD HARDING'S OBJECT Curt Dismissals Believed Fully Justified. RESULTS FIRST CONCERN Belief Is That Chier Will Keor eanize Government Itegardless of Obstacles Interposed. BY MARK SUL.LIVAN. (Copyright by the New York Evening Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement. y WASHINGTON. D. C, April 11. (Special.) It is fair to wonder whether the country far from Wash inKton is as excited about the civil service as Washington itself is. Wash T incton keeps up the talk for two reasons. One is that this is the home " of some thousands of civil servants, - and with them the topic Is closely " related to bread and butter. The sec ' ond reason is that the democrats think they see a campaign issue in It. At least some of the democrats see it this way. From other demo- .r- cratio quarters, quarters somewhat more elevated, there has lately come an admonition that the democrats must find a big issue and drop the practice of picking up one small issue n after another. " Undoubtedly the dismissal of large group of rather important and 2 relatively highly paid civil servants " by President Harding personally was . done in a manner nothing less than brusfiue anri peremptory. Whether anything will come out later to jus T tifv these methods remains to be seen. Most competent judtres believe the present investigation of the depart- ment from which these civil servants '-.' were removed will show adequate reason for the action taken by the j president. Mr. llardins l'ntient Man. Mr. Harding is about the last man Z to act in so brusque a manner with- out good cause., Everybody who lis tens to Mr. Harding talk observes 1 that such words as becoming," 'proper" and -fitting" and "the proprieties" appear in his vocabulary with, emphatic frequency. They re- fleet Mr. Harding's point of view about his relations with other human beings. He is not a man to "blow up" without cause. There are stories about Washing- ton to the effect that on a few 2 occasions since he has been presi- dent Mr. Harding has shown strong feeling in finally putting over a pro J gramme determined upon. But he . has only done so after a degree of patience so prolonged as to make it clear to everybody that the methods f of patience and gentleness would riot r carry the programme through. 1 Nineteen times out of 20 seems to be a fixed principle with Mr. Hard i ing to go the limit of patience. Some of his former associates say that when he was editing the Marion Star and was moved to write something in strong feeling it was frequently his way to put the manuscript in print it. On at least one occasion since he has been president he is said to have followed an analogous course about a letter which he was moved ' to write In a moment of feeling. Course Believed Justified. All in all it is incredible that Pres- ; Ident Harding should have dismissed these civic servants in just the way he did without having had enough ; ' contact with the situation to be ' deeply moved by it, and without feel ing sure that the subsequent investi gation would justify him. That these ', particular removals were made for the purpose of giving jobs to repub licans cannot be argued successfully. ! If the motive were to "slip something over" on the civil service it would have been done with the deliberate ness of guile. ' There is a strong feeling on the part of many business men who have ; recently come into the government to the effect that many of the higher officials of bureaus should not be within the civil service, but should be within the personal appointment ' of the men at the head of the de- , partments. Bureau chiefs and the like are the "key-men" of the organi zation, and a new man at the head ' of a department, wishing to do a job of reorganization, cannot be expected to do it well and speedily unless he can appoint his own "key-men." Every business man and every on ' who has had any contact with prob lems of organization realizes this. High Purpose Evident. There is no determination more evi dent on the part of some of the cabi net members and on the part of some I other high officials who have been brought to Washington by Mr. Hard ing than to do a good job of putting the government on a sound business basis as regards) organization. It is easy to conceive that some of these '. men having been baffled by the dis position of some bureau chiefs to cling to old ways and to resist inno ; vation, may be sorely irritated, but that they should want to make these jobs political is unbelievable. ; The cabinet members in question would like to appoint their own mei to these "key positions," but they , most decidedly would not want to 1 turn these positions over to con . gressional and senatorial seekers of patronage. All that Is said here applies to some of the cabinet members and to some of the heads of important depart- raents. It does not apply to so much of the agitation in congress. There - are more than a few representative and senators who would like to rati the civil service and raid it thorough- ; . ly. As a rule they are not the big gest men. -V- Patronasre Is Inability. Vr. The really big politicians in both parties are satisfied with the civil service. They think that patronage Is on the whole a liability rather than -"tn asset. They have an axiom to the effect that for every office seeker there are ten applicants and that the appointment results in one grateful "-' and nine disgruntled ones. But there are in congress and the senate quite a few new republicans, who have not had experience enough to have picked up this bit of wisdom. As to Mr. Harding personally, it is clear that his position is that he is a bound to carry through his ambition !, to reorganize several departments of ' the government on a basis of greater efficiency and economy. It is a fair " inference that he has been provoked by some of the obstacles. He will ': make the government efficient within the civil service if he can. If he can . not, he wili modify the civil service so ;..far as he deems it necessary and go as far as he is able to do it by execu , tive order. BANKER'S WIDOW WINNER (Continued Frnm First Page.) the suicide theory as the most reason able explanation. "Whatever did happen at the land- ing, he could not have anticipated that it would happen in Just that way," said the court. "When he went to the stern of the boat he could not know he would not be followed immediately. He knew he was a marked man. It seems to me that his reasoning, emotions and ac tions are the old symptoms of a man contemplating self destruction. As to the theory that he got off the boat somehow and took the night train to Portland, the court cannot conceive that so well known a man would flee in this manner, especially a man of his intelligence. His oivances of being seen were too great." Testimony Is Analysed. In analyzing the testimony of Chis holm and Captain Reid, who both tes tified that six passengers came up the slip from the boat, Judge Cush man declared that each had seen the other and thus confused the number of passengers. Discussing the testimony of George Bllwood and the other witnesses who swore to seeing Stewart in California, Judge Cushman said he was convinced that Eilwood did see some one he took to be Stewart. JURY CHALLENGED AGAIN Protest Second in. Second Trial of Burcli for Murder. LOS ANGELES, April 11. For the second time during the second trial of Arthur C. Burch for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, broker here, Au gust 5 last, the defense today chal lenged a jury panel. The challenge was denied by Judge Sidney N. Reeve of the superior court, who is presiding at Burch's trial. In making the challenge Paul W. Schenck, chief counsel for the defense, directed it against a jury panel called by Judge Reeve from another depart ment of the court. Judge Reeve had requested the panel to be transferred to his department when the panel regularly called by him became ex hausted late today. The challenge was upon the ground that the names of the jurors on the transferred panel were not put into the courtroom jury box with the names on the regular panel for that department. RUSSIA KEPT IN CHECK (Continued From First Page.) George and Premier Facta, the presid ins officer of the conference, are equal to a squall stirred by the Russo- French exchanges over land aisarma ment and other matters, and may be able to steer the conference ship into a peaceful haven, or one that will pass as peaceful in this stormy Euro pean sea. The organization of a sub-committee, which was effected today, threat ened for a time to raise another storm, but was put through with far less clamor from the lesser powers than they raised at Versailles when that conference was organized. Most of the powers have shown a disposition to abandon war hatreds. The Russians and Germans were per mitted to speak at the opening ses sion as an evidence of forgiveness, al though France resisted this courtesy. The conditions of the Cannes reso lutions and the agenda agreed upon were accepted by all the nations, al though M. Chitcherin insisted- upon speaking for disarmament and threat ens to do so repeatedly at succeeding sessions. However, he has said that he would not insist on consideration of disarmament as part of the agenda. Russia is growling about Japan and Roumania occupying part of her ter ritory, and France bristles when Ger many and Russia are shown any con sideration. But there is a sort of armed neutrality and' there are 'ndi- cations that the irreconcilables will become more tractable as the days proceed and will actually consider the Cannes agenda, leaving land disarma ments untouched except for occasional bursts of oratory. At the afternoon meeting of the principal conference committee Chitch erin protested against the presence or the Rumanian and Japanese delegates at the conference. Premier Facta of Italy, who was presiding over the committee, de clined to consider the Russian pro test, giving as his reason tnat all the countries invited to the conference had a right to be represented on its committees. Smaller Powers Represented. It had been decided to give repre sentation on the committee to the smaller powers and It was announced on their behalf that they had selected Poland, Rumania, Switzerland and Sweden to represent them. M. Chitcherin, on hearing Rumania mentioned, was quoted in one version of the incident as asking: Why Rumania, who is holding the Russian province of Bessarabia?" He also protested against the presence of Japan. Regarding this last protest. Vis- count Ishii, representing Japan, was nnt o rmori,fa. ! Japan is here and will stay here whether M. Chitcherin likes it or not." Surprise Is Expressed. Viscount Ishii, who declared he was greatly surprised by the Russian pro test, added that Japan was occupying Siberian territory at the request of the allies against her own will. As to Rumania, Premier Bratiano declared she had no special desire to negotiate with the Russians, but was in the conference with a spirit of moderation in an effort to better the situation in Europe. Rumania, said the premier, did not admit the justice of the Russian protest, as Bessarabia was inhabited by Rumanians who had voted their annexation to the mother country. It is expected that the conference will take a vacation on Good Friday and Easter Sunday and Monday. GER3IANY IS BIT OPTIMISTIC Mark Rises In Exchange, but Trade Is Near Standstill. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) BERLIN, April 11. (Special wire less.) If the Berlin bourse can be taken as a barometer indicating which way the wind is blowing for the German delegation at Genoa, the prevailing atmosphere is anything but pessimistic. The mark was quoted at 280 to the dollar today after hav ing gone down to 300. . i; German industry and trade, on the other hand, have practically come to a standstill. Ever Increasing prices are blocking the markets. Every one from the workingman to the great in dustrial, has eyes and ears turned to ward Genoa like a people awaiting deliverance. For the first time one really has the feeling that Germany's future depends wholly on success or failure at Genoa. The Tchitcherin Barthou clash over disarmament is considered the biggest event of the opening day. The majority socialist and government organ, Vorwaerts, commented: "The role France intends to play was clarified, but did not be come more sympathetic by -4he con troversy." Vorwaerts also believed Premier Lloyd George deserved every bit of the applause given him by the German delegation. However, the paper warned the delegation not to forget "the words whispered to him three years ago at Versailles by Georges Clemenceau: "The fatal hour of reckoning has come."

GIGANTIC TASK IS AHEAD Senator Smoot and Representative Burton Become Members of Re funding Commission. WASHINGTON. D. C. April 11. The allied debt refunding commission cre ated by congress and entrusted with conversion into long-time securities of the debts of the allied nations to the United States was formally com pleted today through confirmation by the senate of the nominations of Sen ator Smoot of Utah and Representa tive Burton of Ohio, republicans, as members of the commission. Confirmation followed more than five hours of discussion in executive session. The principal argument against confirmation was said to have been made by Senator Walsh, demo crat, Montana, who originally raised the ineligibility point, while the prin cipal speech in support of Senator Smooth and Representative Burton was- reported to have been made by Senator Cummins, republican. Iowa, chairman of the judiciary sub-committee, which considered the nomina tions. The vote on confirmation was 47 to 25. Two democrats, Senator Brous sard, Louisiana, and Senator TCen- drick, Wyoming, voted for confirma tion, while three republicans, Sena tors Borah, Jdaho; La Follette, Wis consin, and Norris, Nebraska, voted against. The rollcall was made pub lic by order of the senate. Most of the debts are in the form of demand obligations bearing inter est at 5 per cent, given by foreign governments as security for war loans. - Others are in the form of notes for supplies and materials fur nished by .the United States. The commission is to effect the transfer of all these evidences of debt into long-time obligations of maturities not exceeding 25 years and bearing interest at not less than 44 per cent. Most Interest in Arrears. All but three of the foreign debtor countries Cuba, Greece and Nicara gua are in arrears of interest. This back interest totals $1,183,000,000 and for its payment arrangements also are to be made under the funding plan. By a mutual understanding in terest on war loans was deferred for a period of three years, which ex pires in April, so that interest on the debts will become payable in October when the first semi-annual instal ments would be due. According to the treasury's latest figures the 20 debtor nations owe the United States on all war-time obligations, including those held by the United States grain corporation, a total of 111,333,094,041 of which $10,150,134,196 is principal and $1,183, 059,844 interest accrued and unpaid. Interest amounting to $489,813,179 has been paid by 13 of the debtor na tions on various obligations but no interest payments have been made by Armenia, Austria, Esthonia. Hun gary, Lithuania . or Nicaragua, al though in the case of the last named country no interest is due on its notes until their maturity. Great Britain, France and Italy, combined, owe more than $10,000,000, 000 of the total indebtedness due this country. The smallest bill is against Liberia who owes a total of $28,218.85.

Before its presentation in the sen ate the bill was formally approved at the first meeting of the entire com mittee since the work of drafting the measure was started three months ago. Democratic members of the committee present voted against it and were given 10 days In which to prepare their minority report and also for the fight which they plan to launch against it immediately after it is called up. Opposition Is Expected. The charge of secrecy in the pre paration of the bill was raised promptly in the senate from the dem ocratic side. Senator Harrison of Mississippi called attention that the bill was introduced today during an executive session of the senate and added: "It was perfectly natural that it should be done in secrecy. Every thing else about it has been done in secrecy." Opposition will not be confined to the democratic side. Senator Smoot of Utah, ranking republican on th finance committee, plans to take the floor in his fight for duties on sugar higher than the two cents a pound on full duty and 1.60 cents a pound on Cuban raw, which are now in force iii the emergency tariff and which the committee has recommended.
