THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL- 19, 19 '22 GENDA PACT MEANS F10TH1T01ERICJS U. S. Officials Not Anxious Over Germany's Action. PRESENT TREATY STANDS Agreement With Russia Declared Not to Conflict With Sepa rate Article of Peace. WASHINGTON. D. C April 18. (By the Associated Press.) Although the American government neglecting: no opportunity to Inform itself of what is happening at Genoa, officials here betray no anxiety over the latest developments as they affect American interests. Upon the -highest authority it was said today that in view of the ad ministration the new treaty between Hussia and Germany means nothing to the United States. Unless later information convinces them other wise. President Harding and his ad visers were said to accept the treaty at its face value as a financial and peace settlement without sweeping political significance. On the basis of its present advices this government was declared to be of the opinion that nothing in the treaty conflicts with the separate peace treaty between the United States and Germany,' interferes with American interests in either country. or materially alters the status of Russia in the general world situation. .State Department Firm. The state department was said to be firm in its belief that the soviet regime in Russia should not be rec ognized, but it is not disposed to question the right of another .sov ereign power to extend that recogn! tion, nor does it apparently expect that recognition by Germany alone will have any important efect to ward giving bolshevism a real stand iner in the family of nations. It is realized, of course, that if the German-Russian rapprochment of Genoa were to become a stepping stone to an ofensive and defensive alliance a much altered political sit uation might confront Europe. On that subject, however, no official will speculate beyond making the predic tion that no immediate elements of danger are perceptible. The whole tendency of officials is to minimize the importance to the United btates of all that has transpired in the Genoa conversations. Hands-Off Policy Kept. Thus suggestions of a "war scare" for Kurope, or possible entanglement for the United States through the presence of American troops on the Rhine, excite only smiles and expres sions of incredulity in American of ficial circles. There appears to be perfect confidence that American in terests will stand and will continue to stand in the same security as they did before the conference began. Meantime, as regards European in terests and policies, the hands-off policy which actuated the American refusal to sit in the conference con tinued. Not only in regard to the political outlook, but in regard to the economic negotiations as well, high officials are saying nothing. They indicate that they still regard the conference as an effort to straighten out an economic tangle pre-eminently European, and that they are content to keep their dis tance in the confidence that the Euro pean powers will meet the situation as best they can. I GERMANY IS BARRED (Continued From First Page.) take part in the private conference of allied powers with the bolshevik, in an endeavor to lay down the general lines of agreement before bringing the discussion into the conference committees, thus reducing; the chance of a break. "Probably the Germans thought the allies were trying to make a secret separate agreement with the Soviets." said a British delegate today to the Associated Press, "but nothing was further from our thoughts. We were merely trying to expedite the work of the conference, especially seeking by all possible honorable means to make the Genoa conference a success. Kngland, like every sane nation today, knows something help ful must emerge from Genoa. As the preliminary conversations with the Soviets particularly con cerned Kurope. the Japanese leaders wr not present, but they were kept Informed concerning development. They participated In yesterday's meeting of the allied leaders and now that the situation has assumed a broad international aspect by vir tue of separate action on the part of Germany, Japan, as well as the members of the little entente, wili sit with the allies and give of their counsel: liOXDOX UKKATliY EXCITKD to maintain a separate arrangement regarding the restoration of Russia. It was decided to withhold announce ment of the policy tentatively decided upon until receipt from Genoa of the action taken at the meeting there to day of the principal delegates, called to consider the treaty. "While a number of cabinet mem bers are absent from Paris, those present were unanimous in regarding the pact signed at Rapallo as a vio lation of the treaty of Versailles as well as the conditions laid down at Cannes as a basis for the Genoa con ference. The clause. in the treaty mu tually according most favored treat ment is regarded as in direct opposi tion to the peace treaty and the new pact also was held to dispose of prop erty in the bands of Germany over WHAT CONGRESS DID AS ITS DAY'S WORK. Senate. Debated resolution providing for investigation of industrial conditions, with a view to trust legislation. Senator Calder spoke in oppo sition to the St. Lawrence river canal project. Statement given out by Reed, replying to ex-President "Wil son's denunciation of him. Republicans held a confer ence and determined to hasten soldiers' compensation legisla tion. House Chairman Pat Kelley, in charge of the naval appropria tions bill, charged that officers of the navy and employes of navy-yards bad combined to open a propaganda on congress to prevent the appropriations committe from reducing the enlisted- personnel. The "coal investigation agen cy" would be created under a bill introduced by Representa tive Bland, republican, Indiana. which the reparations commission has a prior lien. It is understood the cabinet ap proved further instructions to-.Vice-Premier Barthou at Genoa to regulate the action of the French delegation in case it is required to make a prompt decision. The indications 'were that Premier Pr.lncare was handling the crisis cau tiously, awaiting a decided expres sion from the allies before commit ting the French government to a definite policy. 32 DEAD, 320 HURT, TOLLOFTOMOES Middle West Hit by Devas tating Storms. LOOP LATERAL IN DANGER Attitude of Service May Hold Up Mount Hood Koad. HOOD RIVER, Or., April 18. (Spe cial.) Alarmed over an announce ment of the United States forestry service office at Portland that an allotment of about $25,000 for a lateral road connecting the Mount Hood loop highway with Cooper's spur and Cloud Cap inn may be lost because of inadequacy of accommodations at the inn and the failure of the lessee, Somer A. Rogers, to meet federal re quirements in the way of improving the hostelry, the Hood River County Commercial club has, by resolution. urged that the forest service bring pressure to force adequate hotel ac commodations at the inn. The resolution was introduced by W, A. Langi lie, who declared that the forestry office, under existing condi tions, would hesitate to proceed with the proposed snow line road, a neces- ity, if the snow peak is to be made available to the motor tourists who travel thence by the Columbia river highway and Mount Hood, loop road.; , PROSECUTOR IS NAMED Lijle F.

Hallam, resigned, according to an announce- menc by District Attorney Myers. The new appointee was born in Portland in 1S89, and attended the public schools. He was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1912 and took a post-graduate law course at Tale for two years suc ceeding. Mr. Brown enlisted at the outbreak of war and served as a lieutenant with the 347th field ar tillery. Returning to Portland after the armistice, he became associated with the law firm of McCamant & Thompson. New Pact by Germany Condemned in Strongest Language. IjOXDON. April 18. (By the Asso ciated Tress.) It would not be easy to Imagine any possible happening at Genoa which would excite greater as tonishment or more misgivings than the announcement of the Russo-Oer-man treaty produced In the majority of thle morning's London newspapers. "With one or two exceptions the new tract Is condemned in the strongest langua.se as a deadly blow aimed at the conference, at the Versailles treaty and at the peace of Europe; and ltd negotiators are charged with complicity and bad faith. The Times saids "It la an open de fiance and a studied Insult to the entente powers, who summoned the conference, and in a less degree to all who were invited to attend it. The German pretense that the choice ot time and place for the signature was without significance is pure imper tinence. . . "It is earnestly to be hoped that the entente powers, especially England and Prance, will seize the earliest possible moment to take up the chal lenge so boldly thrown down and teach the Germans and bolshevlste alike that the allies are not to be defied and flouted with impunity. If the challenge is not taken up prompt ly and firmly, there is an end to the entente." The Dally Chronicle, staunch advo rate of Mr. Lloyd George, argued that "more level-headed observers, Judging the terms of the treaty on their mer its, need find little intrinsic fault with them."

CHICAGO, April 18. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Terrific storms sweep ing1 eastward across the country, which in some parts of the central states became tornadoes, resulted in at least 32 persons killed, two miss ing-, 320 injured and several millions of dollars damage to property, according- to reports tonight from the stricken areas. The 320 listed thus far as injured Include only those in towns which felt the full effect of the storms. Scores of others in sections which were not in the tornado - belts were hurt, and the total is believed to be beyond the 500 mark. Illinois and Indiana were hit hard est, the list of known dead in Illinois being- 11, while in Indiana 19 fatali ties already have been reported. The Illinois reports are believed to be complete, but there are some areas from which no word has been re ceived, all lines of communication being- broken. Two persons were killed in Mis souri, while Kansas, Michigan and Ohio sustained heavy property dam age. Tonight storms still were moving eastward, but apparently had spent their full strength, subsiding- in most places to snow, rain or hail, with winds, which, while high, were not of tornado velocity. Tonight hundreds of families were homeless, their houses destroyed by the storms, and Red Cross and other relief workers had been rushed into the devastated areas. Telephone and telegraph lines were down, with the result that complete reports of the destruction wrought by the wind and rains' are still unavailable. in the city, Beardstown voters pad dled to the polls in boats today to cast their ballots in the aldermanic election. Every boat in the flooded city was commandeered by politicians to trans port- voters to the polls. One ward worker equipped with an automobile with high wagon wheels used the machine to haul voters through the submerged streets of his ward. Interest in the election, intense before the flood, was revived today, and a much heavier vote than was anticipated was registered. Railroad men, laid off by the Chi cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad foil-owing the coal strike, becama boatmakers and are finding a ready market for the small craft, which are sold at prices ranging from $12.50 to $20 each. Politicians today bought the boats as rapidly as they were finished. dL STRIKE UNCHANGED SOME PROGRESS REPORTED IX "NONUNION" AREAS. .

No significant change in th nation-wide coal strike situation developed during the Easter holiday season, according to President Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America, who returned here tonight to union headquarters. The third week of the strike, now half gone, he said, was marked by some "progress in nonunion terri tory," but no especially big gains in enlisting nonunion workers to ine suspension had yet been reported by field agents. PITTSBURG, Pa., Apr:'. 18. District officers of the United Mine Workers tonight gave out a list of 129 non union mines in western Pennsylvania, which it was declared, ha.ve been closed by union organizers since the coal strike began. There was no statement from operators other than that some of .the mines in. the list were not closed entirely and that others had been shut down by the business depression. NEW YORK, April 18. The anthra cite miners and operators' joint sub committee on wage contract negotia tions today reopened conferences which began two weeks before the strike was called April 1. The issues of the strike have 'not yet been defined, according to mem bers of the sub-committee. Although the operators have refused point blank the miners' 19 demands for higher wages and altered working conditions, they have declined to make specific their counterdemands. wr?W "AS IF BY j MAGIC " ( Sif lis? wwm mm N ft ioTillrlililSi fiff 111 I lilNMl jtiiL If Ulfiiiil jfei feiiil: :BsS Q till feSBd-SsEaSWJ Orpheum matinee today, 15-25-50-Ad.
