H PRECEDENTS ARE STUDIED 2 Indications Arc Tliat Numerous V HI 'jJ Resignations Will Be Kequcst " (d In Xear Future. " THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, g! Washington. D. C. May 7 Devel It opments of the lastetwo days with re ?J gard to federal patronage Indicate that vacancies are to be created with- out much delay wherever republican senators demand action. Two exam- pies of the rapidity with which ac- tion may be had are furnished in the ?3 cases of collectors of customs at i'S the ports of Baltimore and New York. At both of these ports resignations 3! have been asked by Secretary of ' the Treasury Mellon within the last "1 48 hours. One of the ousted offi cials had up to September to serve and the other had two years of his " term left. This is taken to mean that everywhere there will be no hesita Tt tion in bringing about a change where the atpintive powers are ready to act in filling vacancies. '? It already has been agreed that the " resignation of Itoscoe Drumheller as collector at Seattle will be requested without delay, but In the case of yi Will Moore, collector at Portland - there is some doubt. The Portland collector enjoys the advantage of w having been appointed by Senato , George E. Chamberlain, who is closer to the present administration than many republicans. It is a matter of personal popularity with Senator Chamberlain, and he ifc not only pop ' ular at the White House, but is much liked and admired by Senator McNary, who would hesitfite to dislodge any of Mr. Chamberlain's appointees be !S fore their terms expiire. -1 Precedents are being closely etud T led by administration leaders, and it - is found that when Woodrow Wilson came Into office In 1913 his advisers were quick to show him a way to make vacancies. Two of the prece 's' dents were furnished by Spokane, V. where both the United States attor- ney and United States marshal were -- summarily ordered to quit in the in- terest of deserving democrats. ii So desperate was the desire at that V" time to make vacancies that. If nec- essary, Mr. Wilson's aides went to the length of preferring charges against republican officeholders who had any considerable time to serve C under commissions granted by Pres' 9; dent Taft. There will be some hesitation, It n e- believed, in vacating any of the lm : portant postoffices of the country, be cause tlie rule has been throughout V all changes in administration o per- mit postmasters to serve out ' their terms, except in cases of the most flagrant misconduct. Bad and good postmasters have been treated alike by all administrations. - Even the former Postmaster-General Albert S. Burleson, who was the subject of more complaints than any ther man who has held a, cabinet place in a half-century, was quick to remove an impossible postmaster, though a dem ocrat. He also permitted the right kind of republican postmaster to serve out his term. tured goods because they do not want to imperil their own industries Even the United States, which alone could take large amounts of these goods, thus helping Germany's pay ing capacity, is planning higher pro tective, tariffs. ' Thus It is seen that what we can give is not wanted, and what is want ed we cannot give, namely gold, the only International money. The. solu tion is not so simple as many seem to think. No mechanical means can be conjured up to make it so. But foreign rule in Germany would be the most false and the most fatal solution. What was feasible, or seemed to be, on the Nile, under primitive conditions. Is Impossible on J the .Rhine or in the Ruhr, in a land of 160 mines and other Industries. Co-operation Held Need. Instead of exacting shelter for hun-' dreds of thousands of Foch's troops, Europe should be co-operating in building workmen's dwellings so that production in the Rhineland and Westphalia could Increase.

Apart from foodstuffs, Ger many's consumption has decreased until it is now one-fifth what it was prior to the war. American Aid Susareate. Is this, therefore, the time to enter tain plans whose execution would lame the brain and the heart of Ger man industry? Every politician must have foreseen that America would re fuse to arbitrate.

An nouncement of President Harding's decision to have American representa tives on the supreme council, the conference of ambassadors and the reparations commission was followed today by intimations from house re publican leaders that action 'on the 'Knox peace resolution might be de ferred until the larger economic and other problems are settled.
