Secretary E. 2s Welnbaum. for eign trade secretary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, announces the receipt of a communication from the United States Chamber of Commerce directors pledging their support and vote to Portland. As the directors are largely instrumental in selecting the convention city, this is considered as practically assuring Portland of . the convention. Besides the directors' pledge. Port land has the Indorsement of all the commercial organizations west of the Mississippi river. The directors will be In Portland some time in July to ascertain the fa cilities for accomodating delegates. should they come, and consulting wlHi the local officials of the Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles is the only rival for the convention, and, so far as is known, they have no impprtant indorsements or support.

Finally, however, he con curred in the decision of the confer ence that the Chinese might make a declaration on their position" after sig nature, but not before. This was regarded by the delegation as not protecting China's rights. The Chinese refused to sign, and now are awaiting further orders from Pekln. The Chinese delegation issued an of' flclat statement tonight, reviewing its nrotest against the Shantung settle ment, made to the council of prime ministers on May 4. and its reserva tion on the same question made in the plenary cession of the peace conference May (, against th transfer of German rights in Shantung to Japan Instead of to China. Action Held Forced. The atatement saya the action of the conference on Shantung evoked a nation-wide protest in China, which makes it impossible for the Chinese government to accept the objectionable clauee in the treaty. The Chinese delegation's proposal was that it write in the treaty above its signature: "subject to reservation made at the plenary session of May 6, relative to the question of Shantung in articles 156, 157 and 188." The statement saya the peace confer ence, through official channels, denied any action on the part of China which would make it possible to reopen the Shantung question. "After failing In all earnest attempts at conciliation, says the etatemen "and after seeing every honorable com promise rejected, the Chinese delega tion had no course open save t oadhere to the path of duty to their country "Rather than accept by their signa tures the Shantung articles in th treaty, against which their sense of rieht and justice militated, they re trained from signing the treaty alto Kther. The Chinese plenipotentiaries regret having to take a course which appears to mar the solidarity of th llied and associated powers. How ever, they are firmly of the opinion that responsibility for this rests not m-lth themselves, who had no othe honorable course, but rather with those who It is felt unjustly and unneces sarily deprived them of the right of making a declaration, to safeguard against any interpretation which migh preclude China from asking for re consideration of the Shantung ques tion at a suitable moment in the fu ture. In the hope that the injustice to China might be rectified later in the interest of permanent peace in the far east. "The peace conference having denied China Justice in the settlement of th Shantung question, and having today, in effect, prevented, them from signing the treaty without sacrificing thet sense of right, justice and patriotio duty, the Chinese delegates aubmlt their case to the impartial judgmen of the world. den, Charleston, S.

COM MAY COME PORTLAND MAY GET 1920 COM MERCIAN BODY SESSION. UniCed States Chamber of Commerce Directors Signify Favor for This City for Meeting. Portland will probably be selected oon aa the 190 convention city for the 1'nited States Chamber of Commerce. The choice rests with the directors of that body who hare signified their ravor for this city. The lust meeting was held in St. Louis and was attended by a body of Portland delegates who also represented the Portland Chamber of Commerce at the foreign trade con ference held in Chicago, and at the meet ing of the Pacific Coast Chamber of Commerce at San Francuco. San Fran-i-lm-o hating been rlected as the meet ing pi.ife for the trade conference next year, it Is a foregone conclusion that the meeting of the national chamber will be held In a Pacific coast city.

NEW TORK. June SI. The league o nations was denounced as a "gigantic war trust" tonight by United States Senator Hiram Johnson of California, in an address before a mass meeting called by the league for the preserva tion of American Independence. He de manded the repudiation, of the league covenant.. Similar demands were made by United States Senator James A. Reed of Mis souri and George Wharton Pepper of Phlladelphia- "The league contains within Itself, asserted Senator Johnson, "the germs of many wars and. worse than that. It rivets, as in the Shantung decision, the chains of tyranny upon millions of peo ple and cements for all time unjust and wicked annexations." Ireland was referred to by the speaker as a "litigant with a perfect case who can get no hearing," and he maintained that it was the purpose of the league to use the great wealth, power and blood of the great democ racy of the earth to "retain revolting peoples." After asserting that the league "means that American boys shall police the world," Senator John son saidr "This league means the halt Ing and betrayal of new world liberal Ism, the triumph of cynical old-world diplomacy, the humiliation and the end of American idealism."

Notice was served on ultra-radicals who may be planning a "demonstra tion" in Portland and ether cities in Oregon, aa threatened throughout the United States on July 4, that it would be good judgment - to make their dis play of power out of reach of men wearing the uniform of Uncle Sara yesterday by E. J. Eivers, state chair man of the American legion. This or ganization of veterans has requested every member to wear his uniform on that day. and Chairman Eivers has placed the entire personnel at. the com mand of forces of law and order at that time. "Regardless of whether or not the uniformed man Is yet a member of the American legion," said Eivers yes terday, "he knows how to 'fight, and there is no one he would prefer to fight, next to the German, than the man who -stayed home and has plotted against the country he fought to make safe. I am confident that should the situation demand it, every man in uni form on July 4 will be a potential aid to police powers of the state. There no question of the loyalty of those men who have subscribed to the. prin ciples of the legion." Governor Olcott was telegraphed yes terday by Eivers the following pledge: The American Legion, which is the na tional organization of former service men, soldiers, sailors and marines, pledges you full support of both the national organiza tion and tho branch In this state in your effort to maintain 100 per cent American ism, based on law and order. This support is particularly pledged you and ail those associated with you for good government on the first Independence day after having finished the Job tor which we entered our country service. In addition to this, every effort is being made to notify posts about the state of the action and to advise local authorities of the stand of the legion.

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil, June 1. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) A North American arriving in Rio de Janeiro and traversing the main street of the ety Avenida Rio Branco can, with little mental effort, imag ine himself In New York, Boston. San Francisco or almost any city of the United States, awing to the extensive use of American-made moving picture films, which have in the last three years become exceedingly popular, to the exclusion of European-made films. Moving picture theaters, or cine matographs aa they are known here. line both sides of the avenida in the section where It passea through the heart of the downtown district. Large posters with the names and pictures of North 'American movie atara are to be eeen in almost every direction. The Brazilians have their favorites, know their respective qualities and- can, in fact, converse as knowingly of the North American moving picture world as can the enthusiasts of the United States. In addition to the amusement they afford, the American-made filma are accomplishing something of perhaps more importance. They are stimulat ing many Brazilians to a desire to learn the English language. Although the captions and written explanations on each film are almost completely translated into Portuguese, this cannot be done so easily and econ omically with the large postere and, therefore, the prospective patron Is often confronted with the necessity of reading the English if he wante to know something about the picture be fore purchasing his ticket. This, and the fact that occasionally in the captions English expressions are not translated has resulted in Bra zilians learning just enough English to create a desire for more. Added to this is the apparent extension of North American and English commercial in terests in Brazil. Foreign language schools attribute to these causes the constantly increasing number of Eng lish language students.

Gentlemen: I have decided to use Braender tires in my races at the Tacoma Speed way on July 4. - I have used these tires in all my eastern races this year, and have come to feel a great dependence upon their strength and dependability. In one day at Sheepshead Bay, I won two races and finished second in a third, using them throughout. ' Inasmuch as I understand that Braenders are new in the west, it has occurred to me that possibly you might want to co-operate with me during this rape by having some of your tire men in the pits to watch them and aid in making changes, should any be necessary. You can realize, if you have ever followed racing, how extremely important good tires are in the winning of a race. Any service you can render in this connection will be greatly appre ciated by the writer. Very truly yours, (Signed.) RALPH MULFORD.

Commercial clubs and chambers of com merce throughout eastern Oregon are being urged by Public Service Commis sioner Corey to lend every possible in fluence to procure passage of the long- and-short-haul bill now before con gress, which. If passed, will mean much to the financial and industrial growth of this state. His letter, in part, reads: "May I suggest that financial, indus trial and commereial clubs throughout eastern Oregon, as well as all such -organizations in the back-haul territory, interest themselves in this especially important matter to the extent of In dorsing this pending legislation? As is well known, the practice of allowing lower rates from the east to the Pacific coast than for tbe shorter haul to inter mediate points not only denies to our eastern Oregon towns equal opportunity in manufacturing and Jobbing business and its attendant building up of our inland cities, but it denies and has prac tically put out of business our coast ports. Portland has suffered more from lack of water transportation than any other port of the Pacific coast. There five transcontinental lines meet the potential boat rates, thus making it impossible for them to operate, while the roads make tip any deficits that may occur from this practice by assess ing higher rates in the back-haul ter ritory. "There has always been a desire upon the part of our people to locate the fac tory near the region of supply, but owing to the higher rates from the east to the Intermediate points in the back haul territory, the very construction of the manufacturing plant is far in ex cess of what it would cost either east or west of said territory. As a conse quence, our eastern Oregon country will remain a sparsely settled country witn a few small towns as long as railroads are permitted to charge less for the longer haul to the coast than to inter mediate points. "An eaualization of the rates through out the country will place all communi ties upon an absolute equality, it win enable the- Intermediate sections to manufacture in competition with the eastern industrial sections. "Success of this long-and-short-haul legislation means much to us of eastern Oregon, and I urge that the measure be indorsed and that our representatives at Washington be urged'to support the bill."

A delegation of men representing the Central Labor Coun cil, headed by E. J. Stack, secretary of the Oregon Federation of Labor, called on Mayor Baker and presented the re quest for the use of the building.
