IS TnE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND.- MAT 15. 1921 OUT I ER COMES PORT TIE-UP EVADED Col. E. L Drake Sails Under Sealed Orders. FULL CARGO IS CARRIED TV. S. Miller Due to Arrive in Port land May 2 0 to Discharge 40, 000 Barrels of Gasoline. Moving with all the stealth and se crecy of a blockade runner in war time, the Standard Oil company's tank . steamer Col. E. L. Drake slipped into the Columbia river yesterday morning and docked at the Standard Oil plant at 7 o'clock last night with a lull cargo of fuel oil. Because of the seri ousness of the tie-up at San Fran cisco resulting from the marine work ers' strike and the desire of the com pany to avoid disorder at the port of destination, the Col. E. L. Drake was sent out of San Francisco under sealed orders, and her destination was known only to her operators and the few persons taken into the confidence of the Standard Oil company. Arrival First In Week. This tanker is the first coastwise vessel to come here in more than a week. Practically all of the vessels ope rating in the Pacific coastwise traffic have been tied up at their home ports as fast as they finished their first round voyages after May 1 and have been deserted by their men and officers. The majority of the fleet of tankers, steamers and steam schooners are at San Francisco. Announcement was made by the local office of the Standard Oil com pany yesterday that the new tanker w. S. Miller, now out on her second voyage from Baton Rouge to the Pa cific coast with gasoline, will come to Portland about .May 20 to discharge 40.000 barrels of gasoline. This will be the first direct shipment of oil from the Gulf coast to Portland for more than 18 mouths. The W. S. Miller has aboard some 80,000 bar rels of gasoline and will leave half her cargo at Point Wells before com ing to Portland to discharge the re mainder. Anxiety Sot KxprrHiseU.. o concern over the delay to ves. sels by the marine strike is professed by officers of the Standard Oil com pany, and it i9 declared that the com pany will be able to operate enough tankers in the coastwise trade, in spite of the strike, to prevent a local shortage of either fuel oil or gaso line. According to local officers of ti 3 company, the Col. E. L.. Drake is manned by a regular crew, as arc the other vessels of the Standard Oil fleet An entirely different version of the effect of the strike upon the oil tanker fleets has been reported to the local headquarters of the striking marine unions. These reports state that the tankers are being manned entirely by non-union men and that the refiner' ies and plants of all the oil companies throughout California are being combed for men with a knowledge of engines to become marine engineers, and for ex-navy men to act as sailors during the emergency. NEW OIL CARRIER WILL FILL HER TANKS WITH WHEAT FOR EUROPE. FT- V wmmmmmam Angelus Photo. STEAMER SWIKTSCOCT. One of the most widely-discussed developments on the Portland water1 front during the past week was 'he charter of the 12.000-ton tank steamer Swlftscout to take a full cargo of about 10.000 tons of wheat to Eu rope for the Northern Grain & Warehouse company. The Swlftscout is one of the seven big tankers built by the Northwest Bridge & Iron company of this city for the Swiftsure Oil Transport company of New York. Vwo of these tankers the Swiftscout and Swifteagle were tied up here after they were ecompleted because tiere was not enough activity in the foreign oil trade to justify their operation. The interest of he water front is centered upon the loading of the tanker they were completed because there design for such an entirely different purpose. -TOO STEMDS LUCKY 5" V CRKW S I G YE D Al'TKB JbABOR. TROUBLE. ttifhJIo and Will pole of AVilliams " Liihe Avoid Tie-Vp Caused by Marino Siriko. One of the luckiest accidents that ever befell a steamship company, according to A. C. Ca Man. Portland manager for the "Williams Steamship company, was the labor trouble aboard the steamers WiHhilo and Willpolo before the present .strike started, which caused new crews to be signed at Pan Francisco for the round voyage to the Atlantic coast and back to San Francisco. When steamers of other lins were bein:? delayed or tied up because of thp marine workers' strike, the four steamers, in the service of the Will iams line have been operating- without trouble. As it happened, the two vessels on t he Pacific coast had crews signed to take them back to the Atlantic, and those on the Atlan tic had crews signed for the trip bark to the Pacific. The next steamer of the Williams line to call here will bp the Willsolo. now loading at Tacoma. She is ex pected at Portland May 23. Steamers of the Williams line, ft Ttas announced yesterday by Mr. Cal lan. will hereafter make the stop at Portland on every trip before pro ceeding to Puget sound. This rout ing will assure local consignees of the quickest possible delivery of west-bound freight, as the delivery of the freight to local warehouse's is delayed at least a week if it is car ried past Portland to Seattle.

Hundreds of thou sands of famine sufferers who were concentrated in refugee camps in China during the winter have been compelled by authorities to return to tneir home provinces and attemp raising new crops this year. iius au.iun was taKen. according co caDie advices received from Pekin by the China famine fund: because officials considered it necessary for the good of the entire population that efforts be made for a harvest this year throughout the famine area. As the camp refugees were generally well fed during recent months, they were picked to pass the summer months at their former homes. Refugees who have already startei he homeward journey were suDDlied with food and money by relief or ganizations. In many cases, the imine victims were given food for two weeks and funds lo buy addi- lonai iood tor a month. Seeds for planting were furnished in abundance. transportation was furnished trt-t. by the railroads. VEMZELOS MOW IN. EXILE Greek Statesman, Discredited, lAv Ing in Principality ot Monaco. NICE. Eliphtherios Venizelos, the Greek statesman, who left Greece ifter his political downfall and the recall of King Constantlne. has chosen as his place of eSile for the present a modest hotel in the principality of Monaco near the French frontier. "I am here as a simple resident' said he- to the correspondent. "1 am here to rest and to forget." M. Venizelos read without interest :he report that the Italian govern ment had placed at his disposition a torpedo-boat destroyer to take him to Greece so to direct a rising, supposed then to be in preparation, against King Constantlne. He not only denied the report, but-declared he had no designs againBt the present regime in Greece and no intention of return ing there. He was very sorry that the Greek army had been . defeated ih Asia The Columbia river experienced its first tie-up of a privately owned ves sel because of the strike when the steam schooner Willamette, of the McCormick line, was unable to depart from St. Helens. The Willamette ar rived in the river March 24 and laid up at Hie St. Helens Shipbuilding company's plant for extensive repairs. These repairs were finished a few days ago, and the steamer shifted to the McCormick Lumber company s mill to load lumber for California. She was fully loaded yesterday and ready for sea except for a shortage of men and officers. The shipping board steamer Eel beck, operated here by the Columbia Pacific Shippipg company, yesterday finished loading a full cargo of wheat under charter to the Pacific Grain company, but instead of going down the river toward the sea. moved to the Victoria dolphins to tie up until her personnel is'adequate to allow her to depart. The Eelbeck has aboard 27-M47 bushels of wheat destined for Leghorn. Italy. The schedule of the North China line of the Columbia-Pacific Shipping company calls for the departure of the steamer West Nivaria for the orient Monday. Officers of this com pany yesterday predicted that she would depart on schedule. The re tention of this company's contract to carry mail for the government de pends upon maintenance of schedules, and the announced policy of high gov. ernment officials in Washington has been to brook no delay to United States mails because of the strike. The West Nivaria was yesterday tak ing aboard the last of her cargo at the Supple-Ballin dock and will be fully laden in time to depart on schedule.

WEST. (Copyright by The Orenonian.) NW TOKK. May 14. (Special.) The broad view of Germany's acceptance of th6 reparation termi is that It prepares the way for her re-entrance into the commer cial league of nations and as such Is an accomplishment of great significance to the trade future of the world. The growth of German exports has already been not able, but it has been due entirely to th extremely low value of the mark in terms of other currencies. Before 'Germany could really launch out into a campaign for world commerce an develop her buying power for the bene fit of other nations, she had to know what she had to pay under the reparation! claims. . Xow that this has been settled, her main development will begin. The per cent export tax will not be a serious handicap because it will be tacked to export prices and will still be offset, fn competition with other countries, by the low value of the mark. Naturally, much will depend upon ceptabllity of the new German reparation bonds. If these go well it will hasten Ger many's economic restoration; If they prove hard to sell it will retard her commercial expansion. But inasmuch as it will be thought common interest to make a sue cess of the reparation loans, they will be sura of the united support ot the banking communities and can count upon powerful influence being brought to bear upon in vestment capital of the nation to absorb them. German Outlook Brighter. The very sharp advance in German exchange, and the simultaneous upward move in German government securities are sufficient indication to banking cir cles that the German outlook is good Likewise they are a convincing answer to the question of Germany's ability to pay. The new high levels reported during the week in other European exchange are partly a response to the reparations set tlement which holds forth the prospect o France. Belgium and other continental al lies beginning payment before long on their war debta But more largely the upward move ment in sterling, francs and lire is the result of extraordinary reversal in their foreign trade relations, a subject which had already come in for a creat deal of attention, but which was more sharply defined by the publication of our own ex port and import statistics for the month of April. It was shown In these April fig ures that the balance of our sales over purchases had shrunk to the low level of SS.yooo.OOO and that this was more th offset by the Import of WJ. 000. 000 tn gold This visible debit against the United States would be considerably augmented by reck oning in the invisible Items, for with tha most liberal estimate of what Europe owes us for interest on loans, both public and private, this is nowhere near equal to her credit in the carrying trade plus the sxpendtture of American - tourists abroad Curope Already Liquidating. Thus it appears that Europe has al ready begun to liquidate the obligations in curred during the war. When we remember that it was less than a year ago that any people, some of them in high places. were talking about the possibility of Eu rope going bankrupt and laying down on Us American indebtedness, this should be regarded as a most welcome development. But unfortunately it is not an unmixed good. England. France and Italy h bettered their position as debtors at the expense or the trade of their principal creditor. The April figures show the tre mendous slump which export business from this country has had since last summer, d they also make clear the great part which this slump has played in the indus trial reaction at home. It is increasingly plain, moreover, that European countries, when cut off from further extension of American credit, set about becoming less dependent upon Amer- can products by trading more with one another. This condition promises .to con tinue and to form a hindram-e to trade recovery here, unless we find means to make it easier for Europe to buy from us on long-term loans. Recognition of thu is seen In the new ruling by the federal re. serve board this week making exchange bills up to six months available for redis count. This is an invitation for the banks which were shut down upon so severely in heir foreign trade relations a year ago, to go ahead again. Motor Industry Suffers. Developments in the domestic trade sit uation continue of varying character. There is no use denying that the motor industry so far this month has been great disappointment. The promising re covery of March and April has been iol lowed by a reaction severe enough to in fluence automobile and tiremakers to cut prices sharply In an effort to stimulate business. Inasmuch as the better demand from the- automobile centers had been th bright spot in an otherwise uncertain sit uation for the steel companies, the steel outlook has been made to appear less fav orable. The market lias felt it necessary tn discount the passing dividends by a least two of the big independent con cerns. and has had to consider the posst bility of a further downward revision ot steel prices beiore tne industry win nave struck bottom. Agricultural Implement makers are re oorted to slash the-ir prices, and this, too, has been a disturbing influence. But these are instances which merely bear out the content on made all along that the turn ing movement in business is not being made In any general way but by section, Against the unfavorable reports from the motor, steel and harvester industries are to be set. as quite as important. Uie ad vance during the last few days in copper nrfces and the very substantial gain in railway traffic as shown in the statistics of carloadtngs and idle cars, irom tne sec ond week of Apjril on. Stock Market Irregular. The stock market has revealed a de gree of Irregularity commensurate with slmtlar conditions in outside trade. De clines in steel and motor .shares have gone on simultaneously with advances in oils and copper, and this unevenness seems likely to continue until trade readjustment is completed in those quarters where it still has not yet run its course. The upward movement of bonds has paused for two reasons. First, there is the increasing competition from a fresh out put of new capital issues. Second, there is the probability that further reduction to interest rates will be slow because the dn mand from farmers and business men who were unable until recently to get ade quate accommodations, will take up quite a part of the credit slack released by the slowing down of industry generally.

"Good beef can be purchased for 20 cents a pound," he says and continues: "A good suit of clothes costs about one-third what they do In America and other things In proportion. The only thing the people lack is money to spend. Coin has virtually disap peared from circulation and nobody will accept the paper notes. Wages, even of government employes, are paid in food, clothes and tickets for use with the public utilities. "The plenitude of these necessi ties is explained by the fact that huge stores have been imported Into Vladi vostok for shipment into the interior and are being held there indefinitely. These stores are being drawn upon. "A few miles out of Vladivostok to the north conditions are very dif ferent There the population has neither money nor supplies, and hun ger and cold have taken liberal tolls of the Russians. The Chita authori ties have been sending clamorous de mands that Vladivostok share her supplies with the rest of Siberia, a call to which the local authorities have shown no disposition to respond, even if the Japanese would let them. "These latter have been taking the stand that until it is certain that Japan will not have to fight Chita they will not permit the exportation of anything that may later be used against the Japanese forces. "The lack of acceptable money in Vladivostok Is resulting in business stagnation. Anyone with good money can buy anything he wants and cheap ly, but in its absence nothing can be sold. Business houses are fast clos ing their doors and factories are shut ting down." 1.4IK1 4tHl TOO Johnson. trie do 1st pfd.. ao 2d ptd Famous Firs.. 12,800 Fed M & Km do prd Flsk Tire .... 300 Gaston Wms..

Trading Chiefly in Oils, Motors, Steels and Marines; Bond Oper ations Light and i arrow. NEW YORK'. May 14. The two-hour session of the stock market today was enlivened by further pressure from the shorts, that faction dominating the d&al Ings in the absence of more tentative support. Selling once more converged around oils, motors, steels and shippings with a liberal sprinkling of the prominent irperial ties. The latter embraced Famous Play ers, Sears-Roebuck and some of the more obscure issues, whose reaction was ac companied by adverse dividend rumors. Sumatra Tobacco recovered a small part of its recent continuous reversal and a few rails resisted pressure, but in the main, transportations gave way with the general list In which extreme losses ex tended from one lo nearly live points. Sals were oOO.OOO shares. Trading in bonds was light and narrow. popular domestic and International Issues. Including the liberty group, snowing oniy nominal charges. Total sales (par value) 14,875.000. An actual contraction or loom si'wv r,OO.Iioo in loans and discounts, the largest of any week this year, was the feature of the clearing house statement. Changes in other items were unusually moderate and offered little reflection of the week's set back in stocks. Prevalllnr business conditions were characterized as more or less uncertain In he weekly surveys of mercantile authori ties, emphasis being laid on the sharp de cline in foreign trade.
