THE MORNING OltEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1922 K CHAOS AND GLOOM PERVADE EUROPE Oreqonians Home From Three Months' Trip. ART SEEMS NEGLECTED Ir. John J. Lanrlsbury Finds An tipathy for Americans High in France and Germany. - tjxiversitt op Oregon, Eu gene, Oct. 2. (Special.) Dr. John J. Landsbury, student, teacher, ac complished artist and dean of the school of music of the University of Oregon, is back on the campus after having spent the summer on tonr of Europe with about 20 former a.nd present university students, who made the trip in the interests of musio abroad. Dean Landsbury epent nearly three months in touring- England, Krance, Germany, Bel gium, Switzerland and Italy, and although ostensibly he went abroad to bring his party into close asso ciation with Europe musically, he returned with little to say concern ing1 the development -of the art in modern times, but 'with considerable to tell of the political strife which ia becoming acute. "My attention was first brought to the adverse economic conditions in France, while I was in Paris, when I observed the dilapidated Btate into which the famed Paris I taxi cabs had fallen since the war," said the dean. "I was reminded of that event of the war when the taxi drivers performed such an in valuable service in conveying- men to tlx environs of Paris during the battle of the Harne. And ever since that time it seems they have not been able to gret on their feet financially to make the purchase of better and newer equipment. It ia the same throughout France. French People Gloomy. "We drove 200 miles through the battlefields of France, expecting- to find them in better repair by this time. But we were surprised to find the entire country in the razed condition into which it was thrown by the war. Not a stone remains In place atop another. The traces of the French battlements are to be seen strewn over the terrain. Thore Is everywhere a noticeable evidence of the great tragedy which occurred, and the population seems to live in an atmosphere of gloom, "In England there are all of 1,500,000 men out of employment. and England is seeking to protect herself against the crisis of un employment growing graver. As I learned it, England has desired to open trade with the Russian gov eminent to exploit that country as an outlet for her commodities, and a source of increasing home manu facture and relieving the unem ployment. But France objects to this, wanting Russia to develop her own resources and pay her war debts. Antipathy for America Shown. "In Germany and France, as well as in England, the antipathy for America has grown to a high pitch. All Europeans are ready to talk over the situation with visiting Americans, but they do not .like American travelers. In France the Bentiment prevails that America, before the war, accumulated a full treasure box, and went into the war principally to protect her finan cial interests rather than to save democracy from the desecrations of the Teutons. They despise Amer icans for this, even though they do envy her wealth. Europe in general is the same. They are at tached to tradition over there, and they are artistically inclined. They feel that Americans are practical and worldly uncultured, wealth hoarders, and they hate America for it. German Merchants Prosperous. 'In Germany there was surprising prosperity among the merchants, all of whom I saw had their stores well stocked with wares of all sorts. The 'German merchants are unwill ing to sell to visiting American purchasers. It is because of their bitterness of feeling aroused on ac count of the war, and because there is no advantage to be had on ac count of the depreciation of cur rency. At the best hotels American prices are charged, and an Amer ican tip to a waiter is usually a month's salary. The Germans spend all the money which comes into their pockets, for they are uncer tain as to the direction of fluctua tion of the rate of exchange. There is no certain future in Germany, and the business men are pessimistic. "There is no devoted attention to art on tne whole. Political issues between the nations attract the great attention in Europe., and music takes only its necessary place in the life over there." INDMN COUNCIL OPENS CREATION OF RESERVATION AT CELILO TO BE ASKED. Fishing Rights Now Held by Treaty, but Fishermen Placed in Position of Squatters. THE DALLKS, Or., Oct. 2. (Spe cial.) On the banks of the Turn ater where their forefathers for (ronerations back have gathered to take salmon from the waters of the Columbia, there opened today a great council of Indians, assembled from all parts of the Pacific northwest. Deelgates, many with the rank off chieftain, arrived during the day from Warm Springs. Pendleton, Yakima and other points -where the Indian population is now centered. It was estimated that about 500 ti ibesmen were in attendance this afternoon. .? The Indians, squatting according to tribal custom from time imme morial, were addressed by Chief Tommy Thompson of the Celilo In dian's ho welcomed the visitors. Andrew Barnhart, an Indian, who has had experience in court in terpreting and who has acted as an intermediaary between members of liis race and the whites during the last several years, explained the purpose of the gathering which, briefly, is to perfect plans for ob taining a grant of 2000 acres at Ce lilo falls fo ruse as a reservation. The Indians have perpetual fishing rights at the falls by reason of a federal treaty, but the red men who each year journey to Celilo to fish have no place to camp and are placed in the position of squaters on property owned by whites, Barnhart explained. The real business of the occasion will not get under way until Wednesday or Thursday, ac cording: to Barnhart, by which time it is expected that from 700 to 1000 headmen and delegates from Oregon, Washington and Idaho will be On the kiounds. A delegation of Indians will interview Representative Sin nott, noW in The Dalies, tomorrow and possibly he may be inducted to attend, with County, Judge Adkin scn, one of the council sessions. The Indians are- looking to Mr. Sinnott to introduce the measure in con gress authorizing the creation of a reservation. A delegation, headed by Chief Tommy Thompson, will go to Washington to lobby for this measure, if it is introduced. The Indians have made up a fund from sale of fish caught at the falls which is expected to defray the ex pense of the trip east. "HE ISLAND" FOUND COAST GUARD CUTTER BAT TLES 100-FOOT WHAIjE.
