JHE MORNIXG OREGONIAT, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1923
FATE OF C01LIT1
IS TO OF DECIDED
350 Unionists in Commons
Called to Conference.
LLOYD GEORGE TO WAIT
Line of Action Jot to Be An
nounced Until After Impor
. tant Session Is Held.
LONDON, Oct. 16. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) This was a. day of
feverish activity in Downing street,
the chief development being a sum
mons to the unionist members of the
cabinet and 350 unionist members of
the house of commons to a confer
ence October 19 to decide whether
to break up the coalition or stand by
Premier Lloyd George.
The decision to call this meeting
was taken at Austen Chamberlain's
Downing-street home, after consul
tation of Mr. Chamberlain with his
unionist colleagues and the chief
party organizers, among them Sir
George Younger who, it was re
called, "scotched" the premier's gen
eral election plan a few months ago
on the ground that the party ma
chine was not ready.
Chamberlain to Preside.
Mr. Chamberlain as a party leader,
will preside at the October 19 meet
ing, the result of which the prime
minister will await before deciding
on his line of action. Mr. Chamber
lain will ask for a vote of confi
dence and on this will depend his
remaining in office and the ensuing
general election. If accorded, it will
be left for the premier to indicate
his course, which in any case will
not be divulged until after he at
tends the, prince of Wales' public
welcome home October 20.
The participation of Winston
Churchill, the colonial secretary, in
the campaign has been suddenly cut
short by an attack of gastritis
which has obliged him to cancel all
public engagements. Prior to Mr.
Chamberlain's consultation, the
premier held "a war council" at No.
10 Downing street with the mem
bers of his cabinet, including Mr.
Chamberlain, after which he de
parted for Chequers Court.
Ominous 'Rumblings Heard.
Ominous rumblings are heard
from labor quarters, one prominent
party official being reported to have
declared that no fewer than 420 la
bor candidates would appear in the
next election, of whom sufficient
would be returned to make it most
difficult for any government to re
sist them. J. H. Thomas, speaking
at Newport, delivered a scathing in
dictment of the government which,
he said, had lost all prestige and
honor. He predicted an. election be
fore Christmas and roundly con
demned Mr. Chamberlain's sugges
tion of other parties combining
against labor, as depriving labor of
the right to vote and forcing the
men to direct action..
Sir Walter Runciman t a Liberal
meeting at Portsmouth made an
other onslaught against the govern
ment which he declared was vacil
lating in its foreign policy and in
efficient in finances. -
Lord Gladstone, replying to
Premier Lloyd George's attack on
him in his Manchester speech, writes
to the Times charging the premier
with responsibility for "menacing a
recurrence of Turkish aggression
against the Christian populations
and Europe itself."
BBiTAIN TO BEGIN PAYING
.$50,000,000 TO BE GIVEN
UNITED STATES TODAY.
Sum to Be Applied on Interest
of War Debt of About
I Eleven Billions.
NEW YORK, Oct. 15. The British
government will make the first pay
ment of American war loans to the
United States government tomorrow
when checks and treasury certifi
cates totaling $50,000,000 will be
paid to the federal reserve bank
here for the general account of the
treasurer of the United States by
J. P. Morgan & Co., acting as agents
of the British government.
The British war loans of approxi
mately $4,600,000,000 has been for
some time the center of discussion
regarding the payment to this coun
try by her war allies of war loans
of more than $11,000,000,000. A Brit
ish commission with power to nego
tiate terms for the payment of the
British loans is expected to arrive
here soon to discuss the situation
with Washington officials. Ac
cording to unofficial advices from
London, Great Britain has promised
full payment.
Previous payments to the United
States by the British government
have been for the account of pur
chases of silver amounting to sev
eral hundred millions of dollars,
made during the war for the pur
pose of establishing the silver cur
rencies of India and other British
colonies.
No explanation has been forth
coming here as to whether tomor
row's payment will be considered by
the Britis'.i government as part pay
ment of accrued interest on Britain's
debt or for the account of last year's
interest. Under the terms' of the
loans theaccruefi interest may be
refunded. The only information
-available locally was that the pay
ment will be for account of interest.

START MADE ON FRIDAY
Max Woodruff Under Contract
With State Highway Commission.
Graham and Woodruff left Port
land Friday morning on a flight
that would have carried them
around Mount Hood and back to
Portland. Woodruff, a local photog
rapher, had a. contract with the
state highway commission to tane
a number of photographs of the
new Mount Hood loop, in order to
illustrate the engineering difficul
ties that will have to be overcome
on that road.
The machine was a new Oriole
and had just been assembled, Thurs
trial flight before the trip about
Mount Hood was begun.
The two men and the plane left
Broomfield field at about 10:30
o'clock, Friday morning, flew to
Vancouver wfiere they filled the
plane's, tanks with gasoline and
water. They were seen passing
over Camas and Hood River. A
report received in Portland today
bore the information that the ma
chine was last seen when rising
over a cloud bank that rested on
Zig-Zag mountain.
Woodruff had toid friends ' and
associates that he intended to re
turn to Portland by 5 o'clock Friday.
When 24 hours passed without word
from the plane or its passengers,
his friends became alarmed. The
news of the plane's disappearance
was broadcast from The Oregonian
radio tower Sunday night.
Late yesterday Lieutenants James
Powell and A. B. McKenzie, army
aviators attached to the 361st air
reserve squaron, tuned up a big
Curtis observation plane at Van
couver and took a trial flight. The
machine was turned over to me
chanics and was to be ready this
morning to .carry the two army
fliers to the vicinity of Zig-Zag
mountain, where they intended to
carry on a search for1 the missing
machine. ':
Sheriff Hurlburt had also planned
to send a posse of deputies into the
Mount Hood district this morning
to search for traces of the plane
and its passengers.
Woodruff is well known in Port-

ITALIAN KING IS HOME
Cabinet Expected to Offer "to
Resign Jobs.
(Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.)
ROME, Oct. 16. King Victor
Emanuel returned to his villa at
Racconlgi, near. Turlin, last night
from his visit to Belgium, and ha
was immediately Informed by Pre
mier Facta by telephone of the crit
ical political position which has
been created within the last 48
hours. Insistent rumors say thac
Premier Facta will go to Racconigi
tomorrow to present the cabinet's
resignation.
The crisis has been forced by the
right wing, meaning the fascisti, the
liberals, and the nationalists, who
want -a cabinet capable of bringing
about a reform in the electoral law,
and then ask the king to dissolve
the chamber and order new elec
tions. The right wing does not
think the present cabinet Is capable
of doing this for lack of strength.
DEFENSE PRESENTS ALIBI
Horseshoes, Not Murder, Said to
Have Occupied Defense.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16. The
defense in t'he trial of Henry Wilk
ens, a garage manager charged with
the murder of his wife, opened its
case by declaring the defendant to
be a victim of a false story by
Arthur Castor, the prosecution's
key witness, and then began efforts
to disprove the prosecution's testi
mony. Among the witnesses put on the
stand were four residents of Felton,
Cal.j who testified that on the night
of May 28, when, according to prose
cution testimony, Wilkens plotted
with Walter and Arthur Castor the
holdup that resulted in Mrs. Wilkens
being killed, Wilkens spent the en
tire evening pitching horseshoes and
playing with a gopher snake.

FORCE ALONG RHINE
TO BE WITHDRAW
America Preparing to Re
turn Troops Home.
PURPOSE HELD SERVED
Fear Felt That Continued Occu
pation Might Yet Involve
Country In Trouble.
BY GRAFTON' WILCOX.
(Copyrigiht. 1922, by the Chicago Tribune.)
WASHINGTON, D. C Oct. 16.
The United States is preparing to
withdraw all its troops from the
Rhineland army of occupation.
This was clearly Indicated in of
ficial quarters following a confer
ence on the subject by President
JZZZ2Z
Harding, Secretary rf War Weeks
and General Pershing, chief of staff
of the army.
Final decision which would war
rant an official announcement has
not been reached, but it was de
clared that determination to with
draw American forces from in
the German occupied area un
doubtedly would be made public in
the near future. Officials believe
that the army of occupation, insofar
as American participation is con
cerned, has served its purpose.
Fate Believed Tempted.
Those of the administration who
believe that American troops are no
longer needed in Germany and that
it is idle to continue using the ar
gument that the United States
should be represented in the army
of occupation, for psychological rea
sons insist that their continued pres
ence in Europe is tempting fate.
They believe that the sooner the
1200 remaining American regulars
are brought home, the less danger
there will be of involving this gov
ernment in European political
squabbles.
For some time Secretary Weeks
and other administration advisers
have been urging the return of the
troops on the Rhine. General Per
shing is declared also to be in favor
of this course. Whether the presi
dent and Secretary Hughes regard
presence of the troops in Europe as
endangering American international
policy is not disclosed, but it is re
ported that they are convinced thai
it is serving no useful purpose.
Purpose Held Served.
"I do not hesitate to say," said
Secretary Weeks, "that I have been
in favor of bringing the American
troops home from Europe. . They
have served their purpose there.
Furthermore, we can use them to
good advantage here with our own
forces as reduced."
Secretary Weeks and General Per
shing, in their conference with the
president, also discussed the future
of the army, which is threatened
with further slashing by the budget
bureau. They are reported to have
made a most vigorous protest
against any further reduction of
the army. To go below the 125,000
enlisted men now authorized, they
pointed out, would be most danger
ous. That such a recommendation
is in contemplation officials declare
there is no doubt.
In a letter accompanying esti
mates for the army next year Sec
retary Weeks reiterates that the
minimum number Of enlisted men
should be 150,000, with 13,000 offi
cers, but the estimates submitted
are for only 125,000 men and 12,000
officers, as at present.
"We do not increase the esti
mates," said Secretary Weeks, "be
cause of the acute administration

CHILEAN CABINET QUITS
Action Result of Reservations to
Tacna-Arlca Protocol.
SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 16 (By the
Associated Press.)-The cabinet of
which Antonio Humus -was premier
resigned today and the senate
adopted the Tacna-Arica protocol,
with reservations, by a vote of
19 to 12.
It is understood the resignation of
the ministry was the outcome of the
decision of the senate to adopt the
reservations of the protocol and the
attitude of the ministers was further
influenced by the fact that the
Chilean government had been offi
cially advised that the United States
would not recognize any reservations
that might be added to the original
Washington agreement.
L. L. SOLOMONS TO TALK

teenth and Mill streets, by Lucius L.
Solomons, high officer of the order.
Mr. Solomons will arrive in Port
land this morning, coming Irom the
east, where he has been making
similar addresses. .
Although Mr. Solomons' pro
gramme while in the city includes
but one lecture, it was announced
that he will confer with executives
of the order during his visit. He
will remain for two days and will
be entertained by local officers.
