BIG EXPENDITURE OPPOSED
Appropriation for National Gnard
Regiment to Be Fought.
Intimation of the fight that wilt be
made before the Legislature to pre
vent adoption of a budget including an
appropriation for maintenance of a
National Guard regiment is given .in
the mailing of letters to each member
of the Legislature citing arguments
against such expenditure. The Ore
gon Volunteer Guard, designation for
f.e bodies of the status of the Mult
nomah Guard. Is sending oat the letters.
It Is considered onwlse to expend
l3:i.lS.i:. as proposed for the bl-
ennium. on a military programme that
Is. not necessary. The Oregon Volun
teer Guard pledges itself to serve In
emergency without cost to the state.

LONDON. Jan. 11. (Special Cable.)
Premier Lloyd George left today for
Paris, accompanied by the Colonial Pre
mlers and members of the Indian dele
gallon. Bonar Law made a flight to
Paris In an airplane. Japanese Am
basaador Chlnda and staff also have
departed for the peace conference,
The Premier left with practically all
of the British press barking at his heels
over his Cabinet-building operations.
Some of his staunchest supporters are
trying to soften the criticism by saying
it is a stop-gap Cabinet and that after
the conclusion of the peace delibera
Uons a considerable part of it will be
scrapped and new material substituted.
This optimistic view is not beld by tht
Liberals.
Churchill's Appointment Opposed.
Among the appointments most con
demned are those of Winston Churchill
for the War Office, of Sir Frederick
Smith as Chancellor and of Walter
Long, characterized as a "hood farm
er" who was placed at the head of the
Admiralty as a concession to toryism.
This strange barrage of dissent will
presently be dispelled by the attention
that will be focused on the all-lmpor
tant deliberations which will begin in
Paris tomorrow.
As I have said in recent dispatches
to The Oregonian, Lloyd George goes
to Paris aa an outright supporter of
the league-of-natlons project. There
was never much doubt here as to the
advisability of President Wilson's visit
to England. Now the view Is not dls
puted that the visit was primarily in
strumental in bringing the two bnp
llsh-speakinsr nations in full accord, and
clear agreement on the essential con
dltions of a world peace.
Lord Curzon's speech yesterday at
the Pilgrims' reception In honor of
John W. Davis, the American Ambas
sador, may be regarded as nn answer
to the position of Premier Clemenceau,
of France.
Just Settlement Wanted.
It pointed out the necessity of the
two English-speaking nations standing
together, should the league-oi-nations
project fail III the peace conference. In
this connection the Manchester Guard
ian says today:
'Our earnest hope Is that France will
stand with us. We shall not easily be
lieve that great nation will be led
away by a revival of dreams of mili
tary glory and domination. What must
be understood is that this country de
sires not a peace treaty of the old kind,
in which each power grasped all it
could, but a world settlement on Just
and lasting principles, and that any
power which teeks to obstruct such
principles will be left isolated.
As to the future, the Ensrlish-SDealc-
Ing people, standing together, would
have nothing to fear; but they would
never again Intervene in a Continental
auarrel. if they were to find the results
of this victory used only for national
aggrandizement."
