ing: to Elmer D. Paine, manager for

WASHINGTON.-Aug. 7. Announce
ment of the attitude of the United
States toward the bolshevik invasion
of Europe and Asia Is not expected
until the note addressed to "Washing--'
ton by Poland has been received. An
Interchange of views is in progress,
however, between the United States
and French and British, governments
In an attempt, officials said, to map
out a course of action promising; re
sults. With the threatened political and
economic collapse of Poland and re
actions of similar gravity anticipated
in states adjacent to the new republic,
officials described the situation as
approaching a point where self-inter-est
would prompt the United States
to act.
V. S. Action Warranted.
The view was expressed that the
'threat of, nullification of the victory
over Germany was contained in the
understanding said to exist between
soviet Russia and Germany and that
this offered sufficient provocation for
rttrn hv the United States. It 1
held that as a power associated with
the allies in the occupation of the
Rhineland. the United States main
tained an interest In the preservation
nf the victory, although it had not
ratified the peace treaty.
Included among steps the United
States might find itself compelled to
take, officials suggested, were ex
tension of credits to permit purchase
by Poland of surplus war materials,
a declaration of moral support for
Poland and a warning to the soviet
government not to trespass beyond
Its boundaries.
Military Aid Last Resort.
Military aid, it was added, could be
considered only if all else failed.
Military authorities suggested that
the brigade destined for Silesia ana
detained in Germany, if sent to' Si
lesia might steady Poland, Czecho
slovakia and Germany. Complete
strangulation of Poland by the cut
ting of the Danzig corridor by the
bolshevtkl. they said, was a grave
eventuality which the presence or
American troops might possibly avert.
o long as the bolsheviki exercise
complete censorship in soviet Ruesla
little promise was seen by some of
ficials of the success of a warning
note to the soviet. Russians, for
whom such a note would be destined,
with a view to arraying them against
the government, would be those
whom it would never reach,' it was

Settlement of Controversy Between
Park Director Mather ' and
Hotel Proprietor Awaited.
Portland citizens are ready to go
ahead along progressive lines for
Crater lake as soon as the present
controversy between Manager Park
hurst of. the Crater lake hotel and
Director Mather of the national park
bureau is settled, declared H. B.-Van
Duzer, president of the Portland
chamber of commerce, last night. TheH
statement was made in advance of a
visit expected from Mr. Mather today.
On the occasion of Mr. Mather's
recent visit to Portland with the ap
propriations committee of the .na
tional house of representatives, the
park director announced that he
would oust Parkhurst, and declared
that it would be up to the people of
Portland and Oregon to see that
adequate hotel facilities were main
tained at Crater lake. Development
at Crater lake as a scenic resort
would virtually come to an end un
less the people of Oregon provided
the necessary hotel facilities, he
threatened.
Following his announcement. Gov
ernor Olcott declared that he would
appeal to the people of Oregon to
take care of the Crater lake situa
tion and President Van Duzer stated
that the Portland Chamber of Com
merce would back such a move. In
the meantime, however, Parkhurst
has strenuously objected to being de
prived of the management of the
hotel and the matter is unsettled.
"Governor Olcott, as I understand
It, has held off on the matter until
Director Mather and Mr. Parkhurst
could settle their controversy,", said
Mr. Van Duzer, "and as soon as that
is done I believe the governor will
take steps along progressive lines
and the Portland chamber will get
solidly behind any undertaking which
will look towards hotel development
at the park.
Director Mather went to the sound
