THE SUNDAY CVREGOXIAN. PORTLAND. JULY 17, 1921 13 WIHS PRAISE HERE Portland Leaders Laud Idea of Disarmament. WILSON MISTAKE TOLD Representative Citizens Give Opin ions on President's Invitation to World Powers for Conference. Portland citizens have expressed themselves as being heartily in accord with the plan of President Harding In bis proposed call of a conference of nations to act on disarmament. . A canvass of a number of representative men of both political parties has called forth the following opinions: Henry E. McGinn, Portland attorney, discusses the Harding plan from the standpoint of the English question of disarmament. "The change in Eng land's commerce amounts to a social and industrial revolution," he said, "and the statesmen of England are fully cognizant of the change." He said the old state of affairs un der which the colonies produced the raw materials and shipped them to England for manufacture was passing and the possessions were manufactur ing more and more from their own materials every year. The change of feeling among the colonists he also commented on, believing that there was as much of a klndTed spirit felt for America and what she stands for as there is for the mother country. The mother instinct is still strong, he said, but England is beginning to acknowledge the rights of her col onies and correspondingly decreasing her surveillance over them. Judge McGinn said the American conscience was the most valuable ad junct of the move for disarmament. The world looked to that conscience for guidance and would be guided by it. The good faith of the nations and the sincerity of their approval he held at full value, because the world is ready for permanent peace and the cessation of warfare. England Gains Confidence. "What effect will the conference have on the renewal of the Anglo Japanese treaty?" Judge McGinn said the supremacy of the English-speaking peoples would never let the treaty react against the United States. Safety was assured this country, he held, in the fact that with the treaty in existence England would so con trol the aims of Japan as to never allow a critical situation to develop between the two nations. He did not believe the younger element in the Philippines was in favor of independ ence and gave as hfa opinion that this element rising rn power would alleviate any stress which might be said to exist in the Philippine situar tion. "President Harding's invitation is one of the greatest occurrences in the history of the world." he said, "and the fine tact of Harding will accomplish the desired results or at least further a permanent peace plan toward ultimate fulfillment." The expected demands of France for protection would be- met, he thought, because of the conscience of America and its effect on other na tions, this reacting to the Control of German aggression. W. S. U'Ren, well-known labor at torney, declared the plan practicable in every way and entirely feasible be cause of the state of national fi nances In every country. "We have not begun yet to realize what the war means in taxation and we have not yet begun to feel the payment for it," he declared. Japan's Barden Cited. Irl speaking of the Japanese ques tion, he said that it will be an ex cellent opportunity for us to show Japan just what our situation is and to convince her of the necessity of the exclusion act. "And I am sure Japan will be satisfied with our ex planation." he said. "Japan's war programme has put a - tremendous burden on her people and she will be glad to curtail It as soon as she knows there is no aggression against her Pacific interests. The t emphatic indication of the success of the Hard ing coup is the applause with which it was received , in the English par liament. It is the first time in the history of that body that a suggestion coming from another nation has been openly applauded." he concluded. Richard W. Montague, also an at torney and prominent democrat, in speaking of the disarmament confer ence, said: "President Harding Is taking, 'lag gardly and reluctantly,' but better late than never, the true course to bring aboutthe eventual general disarma ment which is the only hope of civil ization. It is evidently becoming pretty clear to him, as it has been clear to Secretary Hughes and a good many other people all along, that the only possible way to secure peace among nations is by mutual agree ment: that is to say, by a league of nations, whether we call It by that name or some other. It is a, beauti ful xamp!e of the irony of fate that a proposal for a conference on naval disarmament by three nations, made by the most bitter of the 'irrecon cilable,' has gradually and inevitably enlarged itself into a "conference by all the principal allied and associated , nations and others, not only on naval disarmament, but on general disarma ment and probably other international questions; and this through the action of a president who has committed himself by words, but happily never by deeds, to an uncompromising hos tility to any real and effective league of nations. Trifle Cause of War, "As thtis conference works out it cam hardly fail to include also many other nations. The history of the late war has shown that a quarrel with an obscure country on a trivial matter can just as well Inflame the world a one arising between two great na tions, and anyhow the fate of the 'holy alliance' between Russia. Aus tria and Prussia sufficiently demon strates that peace cannot be imposed upon the world by will of the great rations. There can be no reasonable doubt but that the logic of events will guarantee the sincerity and earnestness with which the desired end is sought by all the participants. and bring about a league of nations sooner or later.. The credit and it will be the great and lasting credit due to one of the supreme benefactors of the human race will fall where it belongs. Pence Necessity Stressed. William L. Wheelwright stressed the necessity of all nations making the required concessions in order to bring about a satisfactory disarma ment programme. The sincerity of all concerned m their expressions of as proval could not be doubted, he main tained, especially in view of the fact that disarmament, from current in dlcations. would not interfere with national development in any case. He further said: "I heartily agree In great part with the views expressed by my. dletia II T, rjTZXJ., 1 1 BROADWAY TRAFFIC jl tlT VI LlCM L VgT LCACLl L. II rtE buck privates now holding the bridgehead at.Coblenz are not the unhappy, homesick in dividuals many people picture, ac cording to a letter received' in Port land yesterday from Dr. J. Guy Strohm of Portland, ex-lieutenant-colonel and division surgeon of the 91st division, who is now in Europe. Dr. fitrohm said that the salary of the American buck is bigger than the salaries of any of the city of ficials of Coblenx. He declared the American soldiers were having a good time and that the morale was fine. In addition, he said that the gov ernment is teaching the boys of the occupation, army various trades and agriculture and that the best part of it all is that the German govern ment is bearing the expense. Dr. Strohm expressed the belief that the American troops should be kept there. He said that they were a good influence on the various ca tions of Europe. He commented on the excellent training exhibited by the 8000 Amer ican soldiers now stationed at Cob lenz, and said that the keeping of the force there was proving good for the development of first-clase fight ing men. Or. Strohm left Portland about two months ago to study medicine in Paris and Vienna. In his letter from Coblenz he eaid that he expected to be back in Portland again August 17. ' Ex-service men are advised to begin preparing now for what promises to be a hard winter from the employment standpoint in a communication issued last week by Portland post of the American Legion. "Ex-service men are urged to do their utmost to provide themselves with any kind of employment an hang onto whatever work they can get, to be frugal and save every cent they can," said the announcement. "All of Portland's ex-service men must be taken care of, and outsiders must be discouraged from coming to this city." Mayor Baker and the county com missioners last week started activities to provide food for those in need next winter, and formulated plans to util ize waste farm products of "the state. A committee of earnest and enthusi astic workers has been gathered and action has been started. It is proba ble that during the coming winter the public welfare bureau will be called upon to take care of destitute families and the care of homeless men will be undertaken by Portland post, Ameri can Legion. Disabled American veterans of the world war have established a head quarters in room 22 in the Ainsworth building. A man is in charge of the headquarters from 4 to I P. M. every day except Saturday, when the of fice hours are from 10 A. M. to 2 P. M. Umpqua post. American Legion, of Roaeburg. recently leased ground in the vicinity of the city for the es tablishment of an aviation fiela for the use of the city and the forest patrol. The members of the post took a half holiday and put the field in shape. Arrangements have been made for the construction of a small build ing on the place for use as- an of fice and for the installation of a telephone. The first plane landed at the field Monday, July 11. Earl H. Brent, who used to "jug gle" supplies with the First army supply train in France, has taken over a Job selling real estate in the office of Frank L. McGulre. Mr. Brent will take care of soldiers who wish to purchase farms or homes under the state aid law recently passed at the special election. A memorial tablet in honor of Curry county soldiers who gave their lives in the recent war was dedicated recently at Gold Beach. Judge W. A. Wood delivered the main address. L. A. Damon, commander of the local gulsbed friend, Judge -Carey, in The Oregonian on the subiect of the con ference of nations that has been called by President Harding, looking to dis armament, and I believe with Judge Carey that his act will prove to be an epoch-making event. I do not fol low him, however, in his opinion that the congress of Vienna would have had the beneficent results that he thinks it might have had if Napoleon had not upset the affairs of the world again in the summer of 1815. That congress of nations was little more than an attempt on the part of kings to preserve for all time their divine right to govern wrongly. The rights of individuals, toward the establish ment of which the French revolution had taken a long step, were practi cally ignored in the resolutions of that congress. There was no inten tion of universal peace for the benefit of mankind, but only of a peace among tyrants that should leave them free to make such disposition as they saw fit of th rights and property of their subjects without waste of the latter by the useless extravagance of war. "The time had not come for univer sal peace, even among civilized na tions, and those of us who have PORTLAND MAN CHOSEBf CITY MANAGER. OP ALA MEDA, CAL. Clifton E. Hlckoek. Clifton Ewing Hiekock. son of Mrs. Sarah B. Hiekock of this city, has been chosen city man ager of the city of Alameda, Cal., and recently entered upon his new duties there, according to advices. He servtd for some time as Alameda city engineer before being chosen as city manager. He graduated from the old Portland high school, attended the University of Ore gon for two "years and received his degree in engineering from the University of California. He served in the engineer corpa of the army during the war and at the signing of the armistice held the rank of major. t V. "7 Ay 4 fsr - -z, X V A' " '''' 4 I T A N f - - v M ii - oJ r 'v- r - - I i as K. Bent. Menu medal commander of Disabled Veterans, American Legion post, responded. The tablet is 24x30 Inches in size and upon it are inscribed the names of the seven men from Curry county who lot their lives. Anthony A. Lucas, Portland ex service man. has solved the problem of getting back to civilian usefulness after Injuries received during the "late unpleasantness" overseas by be coming a Japanese interpreter. Mr. Lucas, who had his leg crushed while serving In logging operations with the 12th company, 20th en gineers, at Mimizan les Balnea, France, has mastered Japanese suf ficiently ao that he is planning to leave this week for Yokahama to take a position as interpreter. He plans to continue the study of Jap anese in Japan in order to perfect his pronunciation. He plans to leave his .wife and family in Portland for the time being, but may send for them later. The former ngineer has been tak ing vocational training in plumbing at the Benson Polytechnic school for some time. Previous to coming to Portland he was a resident of Alex ander, N. D. In addition to Japanese he speaks French, German and Slavonic. at William F. Bent, who was chosen commander of the Disabled Veterans of the World War at the annual elec tion of officers last week, is a Mons medal man, having been awarded that medal as a result of his services with British and Canadian forces in the world war. After his recovery from serious wounds received on the west ern front, he enlisted in the Ameri can service and was assigned as a provost guard in charge of "con scientious objectors" in this country. He is now employed as a special agent by the city park bureau. A new headquarters consisting of a large assembly room and a com fortable clubroom, furnished with a piano and billiard tables, has been acquired by Delbert Reeves post, of Silverton, Or. Another post of the American Le gion is in process of formation at Bonita. Or. The organization work is in charge of A. Gustafson of that city. Arrangements have been made by marked the course of events since the armistice of November, 1918, have had perhaps good cause to doubt whether the time has yet arrived. Up to the very close of the war the gov ernments of Great Britain, France and the United States and an overwhelm ing majority of the people, impressed as they all were by the ruin and dev astation, the wastefulness, iniquity and the utter uselessness of war for settling any question of right or mor als, were in favor of some plan that, should make that war the closing event in the history of national con flicts. But the immediate aftermath! was quite tha opposite of what was expected. The spirit of concession that must animate all nations or indi viduals who wish to arrive at a friendly conclusion with their neigh bors Swas almost, entirely lacking; each power, with perhaps one or two exceptions, regarding its own inter ests alone. This was in a measure due to the long delay between the armis tice and the final decision of the peace conference, and had Mr. Wilson been willing to recognize the great services of Mr. TaTt in the cause of world peace and to allow him his share of honor, we might have had very dif ferent results. Wilson's Failure Eiplalaed. "Had he called Mr. Taft into council it is quite probable that the peace treaty would have contained nothing more on the subject of a league of na tions than the four short and simple articles adopted by Mr. Taft and his associates in Philadelphia, by which the -vigners of the treaty would have been committed to the general princi ple, and details left for arrangement at a later date, as they will have to be be arranged now. Surely there was glory enough, even if divided among any number of men. in the prospective pacification of the world, to satisfy the highest ambition of any one man who desired to go down to history as a commanding figure. 'VWith Judge Carey, I have the greatest hopes of good results, but we must bear in mind that no one nation can enter a conference in which the rights of all nations must be consid ered with any hope of a satisfactory conclusion unless it Is willing to make some concessions on its part. This I am quite sure the United States, if properly represented, will be ready and willing to do." Federal Judge Robert S. Bean de clined to make a lensthy statement of opinion, but expressed himself heart ily in favor of the president's move and certain of its feasibility. He likewise considered the expressions of approval and willingness to partici pate on the part of the different na tions entirely in good faith. "Dis armament on the lines suggested by the president is very desirable," Judge Bean said, "from the standpoint of the nations and from that of the citizens of all nations as well. INTEREST IN PAPER SOLD Bernard 3Ialn-warin: of Xewberg to Edit Hermiston Herald. HERMISTON. Or., July I. (Spe cial.) M. C. Athey. editor of the Hermiston Herald, has sold his in terest in the paper to Bernard Main waring, it was announced in the paper this week. Mr. Athey aVs been here for a little more than a, year. He. will locate in T . a - . Heppner post, American Legion, to construct a club, acaording to word received from legion officials there. The building will be provided with gymnasium, reading rooms, audito rium, dormitory, garage. shower baths, stage and dressing rooms. It will be of concrete and 66x66 feet. That he believes the interests of ex service men and the country lie in recommitment of the soldier bonus bill was the announcement contained in a telegram received from Senator McNary by Portland post, American Legion, in response to one sent by the local post opposing further delay in federal bonus legislation. Senator McNary's telegram was as follows: "I believe the interests of the ex service men and the country lie in re commitment of the so-called bonus bill, as suggested by the president. In nry opinion the bill is not at all satis factory, as it does not provide any opportunity for land settlement. The proposed legislation would not become operative until July of next year. In the meantime better legislation can be worked out after congress determines upon a new plan of taxation. It la my purpose to support and work for legislation whffch will be most benefi cial to the former service men, and 1 believe this to be the attitude of the great majority In congress." . A central committee consisting of two members from each of the various ex-service men's organizations of the city will be appointed for the purpose of passing upon the character, dates and feasibility of benefit entertain ments to be given in the future. The formation of this committee was de cided upon at a meeting called at the Portland hotel last week by Mayor Baker and attended by representa tives of the different organizations of former service men.

CAR DEALERS PRESS CASE Xew Ordinance Permits AutoUts to Do .shopping-, and Is of General Benefit, Says Mr. Barbur. Members of the city council will make an investigation of traffic con ditions on lower Broadway tomorrow morning, according to Mayor Baker, with a view of determining whether the arguments made by the auto mobile dealers on that street against the proposed 30-minute parking re strictions are valid. Mayor Baker held a long confer ence with a committee representing the automobile dealers yesterday, and. although he refused to commit himself in any way, he assured the delegation that the council would weigh arguments presented by the dealers carefully. 30-Minute Rnle Opposed. The automobile dealers are not op posed o a two-hour parking restric tion, but object to the 30-minute re striction, stating that this section is far removed from the district in which the 30-mtnute restrictions are proposed to be applied. - The dealers first threatened- to bring suit to enjoin the city from en forcing the ordinance, but before legal action was instituted it war decided again to present the argu ments before the city council for action. The new traffic ordinance seems to meet with the approval of the ma jority of automobile owners. Mem bers of the city council feel that as quickly as the motorists become ac quainted with the provisions traffic congestion in the kusiness district will end. Benefits Declared Vast. "The congestion caused by all-day parking- in the business district has become so acute as to affect every one," said Commissioner Barbur, chairmen of the council traffic com mittee. "Business men are suffer ing because shoppers and persons desiring to transact businesa are un able to find room in which to park their cars for a few moments and are forced to go several miles to find parking space. "Under the new ordinance, the man who brings his car to town, simply as a conveyance to carry him to and from his home, will be forced to park, his car outside the congested and business zone. The walk that will be entailed through this arrangement will not Inconvenience anyone, and the benefits that will be derived un der an arrangement whereby the shoppers and others will find park ing space for a short period ot time will be vast."

LA GRAXDK, Or., July 16. (Spe cial.) Land trades are becoming quite common in La Grande these days, two more large trades having taken place yesterday. Hardly had the ink dried on the deeds which conveyed the business property in Davenport, Wash., to F. S.
