THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 4. 1917. PEACE LEAGUE TOPIC French Editor Discusses Com bination of Countries. INTERNAL STRIFE FACTOR Jean Flnot Says Guiding Hand of Reorganization Should Be Presi dent Wilson's as Accepted Champion of Society. VARIS, Oct 15. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) "Will the pro nosed society of nations come out of an eventual peace, or will peace come out of the organization of a society or na tlonsT' asks Jean Finot, who examines in La Revue, of which he is editor, the possibility of bringing- the nations of the earth together in a happy family. "The principle of the society of na tions." he says, 'requires equality of representation amonp the participants Keutrals as well as belligerents must be invited, the smallest countries must have an equal voice with the brggest, euch as Great Britain, the United States, Fringe Ttalv and Germany. "The victory of the allies." M. Finot asserts, "will proclure at least a dozen new units in the list of nations." Those countries that have not existed under a regime of freedom will require several years to become conscious of them selves. Party struggles and diamet rically opposite tendencies are rife even now in some of these countries and in unusually violent form. Some Breakers Noted. He noints to the proposed Ukranlan nation as a sample of what difficulties the newly-formed states may bring to euch a concert of nations, inquiring who may be able to say what the proper limits of an Ukranian nation should be. "Tumultuous disorder." he says, is what more than one such na tion would bring into the society. "Is it not necessary to take into ac count Germany s habicual metnoasr M. Finot asks. . "Since no one may pre tend to modify her mentality or her morality from one day ' to another, it must be admitted that she would work inside the fold of the society of nations as she has done before and during the war. The coalition of the central em pires, fortified by representatives of other small or large states, might easily compromise .the essential proj ects of the future conference." M. Finot cites in this connection the recent case In which Switzerland was compromised by one of her councillors, for the ben efit of Germany. Wilson Styled Champion. M. Finot asks whether it is not doubt ful that even the Socialists are ready for what he calls "the divine kingdom and cites the Dutch Socialist leader Troelstra. as saying that "a method of peace that would, by force, oblige al the powers leagued together to fight the one that might break the peace would be equivalent to driving out the devil of national militarism by the Beelzebub of international militarism?" The question. M. Finot says, "with the support of the United States and the allies becomes a living issue." He de clares there is no use of thinking ol the juridic organization of the society of nations so long as German militar ism and imperialism remain erect and concludes by calling" upon President Wilson, who. he adds, "passes at the ' present moment as the accepted cham pion of the society of nations, to make a declaration that a peace that would not be the fruit of a. victory, permit ting the previous organization of the world, would render sterile all efforts tending toward the creation of a league ot honor among peoples." COAL PRICES AT DEADLOCK Miners Refuse to Agree to Automatic Penalty Clause Against Strikes. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. South western coal miners' representatives here for a conference with operators and fuel administration officials re fused today to agree that an automatic penalty clause to prevent strikes be in serted in their new wage contract and called a convention of Southwestern miners at Kansas City November 12. Lr. H. A. Garfield, the fuel admin istrator, has declined to approve any new wage contract which does not carry an automatic clause, and will not pay coal price increases in the terri tory involved until the situation is straightened out. Three mine districts are concerned, including the states of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma. ELECTRIC CONTROL FAILS British Vessels Repulse' Attack and Destroy Boat. LONDON. Nov. ?. An nttaolr wn made today on British vessels patrol ling the Belgian coast by an elec trically controlled high-speed boat. The boat was destroyed. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.

(Correspondence of the Associated Press) PEKIN, Sept. 29. Chinese politics have been affected very unfavorably by the disastrous floods in China. The floods followed droughts in Chili and several other northern provinces, which are now' suffering from high water. The droughts were regarded by the superstitious Chinese as a manifesta tion of the displeasure of heaven, and many of them said the crops would not have failed if there had been an Em peror on the throne to intercede with heaven on behalf of his people. The floods have been construed by the Ignorant classes as a further proof of heaven s displeasure. The agitators, under the direction of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who have established a separate government at Canton, have lost no time in making political cap ital of the misfortunes of North China with decidedly bad effect upon the Fekin government. Provinces Declare Independence. General Lu Teng Ting and other mil itary leaders in Honan province have practically declared their independence of the Pekin government. Sze Chuan province, after a long period of unrest and many local military skirmishes, also has taken a decidedly Independent attitude. These movements have not added materially to the strength of the psuedo government at Canton, but they have weakened the central government and made its problems more difficult. Instead of turning the interned Ger man and Austrian ships over to her associates in the war for war purposes, the Chinese government permitted them to be leased to a Chinese corporation called the Ta Teh Company. This com pany in turn leased the ships to a Jap anese company. The rates were far below those current in the Far East. Consequently Tso Ju Lin, Minister of Communications, who is charged with being responsible for the deal, has been bitterly assailed by the Chinese press. and wholesale charges of corruption have been made. Promises to let the entente powers have the interned ships were violated by the arrangement, and the press is generally denouncing the adminlstra tion for its failure to render a real war service to its allies. Troops Clash With. Japanese. Several clashes between Japanese and Chinese troops in Manchuria have created a very bad impression, espe cially the difficulty at Tsi An Hsleh on the Talu River, where Japanese troops took over the town and are still occupying it. Failure of the Chinese government to resent Japanese Invasion of Chinese territory and the apparent effort of the administration to shroud the whole Manchurian situation in secrecy have given rise to many rumors of secret agreements and spinelessness in deal Jng with Japan. v - . China's failure, to take active steps to send troops to France has also " v Ity j . MR. ERVI.V ERENYI.
