BERLIN. Sept. 24. (Special cable.)
Should any reader of my dlapatch
today happen to have $100,000,000 In
hie pocket, a very safe use for it
might be to loan it to Germany.
Industrial, commercial and agricul
ture commissions In Germany are
ready to lend the government a credit
represented by their tangible assets
and are seeking a consortium which
will provide a loan of 10,000,000 paper
marks with this guaranteed mortgage
of the whole wealth of the producing
classes as security.
In our distressing economic situa
tion a plan wa advanced to have
government ownership in all ""gold
values" such as agriculture, pasture
lands, buildings, industrial workers
and all tangible property not depre
ciated by the declining exchange value
of the mark, and to turn over to the
government a part of the capital
stock of certain companies so that
the government would not be depend
ent solely upon the printing presses
In making Us reparation payment
to the allies.
Desire Pay Reiterate.
Before this plan waa completed the
repreaentatlves of the threatened In
dustrie! proposed the above loan
method, apparently with the approval
of both commerce and agriculture.
Both plans have the same aim an
attempt to use the substance of the
people's property for reparation pur
poses. After this, the bitterest
Frenchman could not doubt Ger
many's honest desire to pay her
debts. Private wealth would lend Its
more solid resources to a govern
ment whose only credit Is on paper.
It soon will be seen whether this
plan Is feasible, whether the consor
tium can be found among the unem
ployment and trade depression In the
world's richest country, to grant so
tremendous a loan.
Several times In these dispatches
I have pointed out the wide discrep
ancy between the state's increasingly
Impoverished condition and the ap
parent flourishing condition of pri
vate wealth. And I have said that
some day an attempt would be made
to substitute the one for the other.
If this should succeed the people's
party which represents Industry
would come Into power and the gov
ernment would be carried on by a
coalition of capitalist enthusiasm and
socialist trade unionism.
Present Plaa Held Impomlble.
The people's party which repre
sents the huge wealth and is there
fore formidable when in opposition,
haa thus far been for a return to
monarchy, but under thla plan would
be won for the nationalist party an
Isolation. It Is clear to everybody
that present methods In Germany are
economically impossible. To pay the
entente the first gold billion Ger
many waa compelled to diminish fur
ther her small gold reserve and raise
100.000,000 on short term note at a
high rate of Interest. The conse
quence was an unprecedented drop in
the value of the mark. This drop
automatically Increased our Indebt
edness, increased Inflation prices and
foreshadowed dangerous develop
ments In the winter.
What will happen to the world's
economic situation If successive gold
billions are to be squeezed from a
country whose only money Is depre
ciated paperT I hope personally to
recommend the question to America
for serious consideration.
Two figures should convince any
reasonable person of the Importance
of the execution of certain engage
menta of the treaty of Versailles
For the support of allied troops
occupying our territory Germany has
to pay 120,000.000.000 marks. This is
a totally unproductive expense. The
second Is not less Important. The
best German workman gets 100 marks
dally or leas than one dollar. The
wages of the masses are much lower,
This discrepancy between German and
foreign production costs causes
"dumping" which at thla time unin
tentlonally does more damage than
that England was cursed with before
the war.
Genua Flaa41rap Realised.
Germany Is loaded with work, but
how can she dispose of her product
if she does not know what values
will be even a week ahead, and she
may have to pay 10 marks per dollar
mora on Imports while receiving the
same amount less on exports? How
can world trade revive If Germany
and all of middle and eastern Europe
are unable to buy American raw
stuffs and English manufactures
while their own products are offered
everywhere for cheaper than Amer
ica and England can produce them?
Just the other day a German firm
undersold England steel rails by 12
sterling pounds. Is there no Mens
tekele here?
. It would be wonderful indeed If
some reader with one hundred million
to Invest should lend it to the tor
mented German government on the
proffered mortgage. It would be still
more wonderful if the earth's great
est people realised before It Is too
late that this matter threatened their
very roots and can only be solved
with their help and the solution can't
wait longer.
The discussion as to whether the
treaty of Versailles Is just or unjust
has always seemed to me to be fruit
less. The Important question Is
whether its execution Is compatible
with the world s economlo recovery.
It Is high time to examine into thla.

Mrs. Peabodv had read that Brady

GARDINER. Or.. Sept. 84 -(Spe
cial.) The Port Umpquk Taxpayers
league, representing a large number
of the property holders of Port Ump-
qua district, which has been strenu
ously opposing the voting of 1260,000
bonds by the Port Umpqua commis
sion. Is awaiting the court decision as
to whether the port commission is to
be regarded as a legislative body
privileged to vote bonds- on the district.
Th members of the taxpayers'
league filed an initiative petition
with the port commission asking that
bonds be submitted to a vote of the
people. This petition was not con
sidered at any meeting of the port
commissioners.
The taxpayers league then enjoined
the bonds and saie of them was
stopped pending litigation.
A recall election was held August
12 to recall thre members of the port
commission. Extravagance and an
arbitrary manner in conducting the
port affairs were the charge made.
w. P. Reed, president of the port
commission, restged shortly before
the election was held. The recall
Issue carried- by a large majority In
all the precincts of which the voters
are mostly taxpayers. Reedsport, the
only precinct which carried- an oppos
ing vote, has a large proportion of
voters who are not taxpayers. By
these people the recall was defeated.
The sale of the bonds la held up
awaiting the court decision.
One hundred and twenty-five thou
sand dollars of the bond lasue la pro
posed to be spent In the construction
of a large suction dredge. This, the
taxpayers' league holds. Is an extrava
gant expenditure.
The league Is active and say It
will continue so until the controversy
has been settled.

WASHINGTON,' D. C, Sept. 24.
(Special.) With President and Mrs.
Harding back in the Whit House
and the latter holding long confer
ences with her social secretary. Miss
Laura Harlan, who haa Just returned
from a vacation in Canada, with con
gressional members drifting back to
the city after a recess that ended
last Tuesday; with the opening of
the supreme court only a week off
well, Washington Is almost Ilk Its
old self again after Its summer
lethargy.
Both President and Mrs. Harding
got right down to work immediately.
the former finding his desk piled
high with important matters and the
latter finding it necessary to con
sider her winter's social programme
which will probably Include not only
the functions that are usually given
every winter at the White House,
but other state affairs for notables
attending the conference for the
limitation of armaments. It promises
to be a strenuous winter for Mrs.
Harding but, then, when aren't her
duties strenuous?
President and Mrs. Harding are
planning at least one more Jaunt upon
the Mayflower to my knowledge; I
had thought perhaps the one they
Just returned from would be the last,
but not so. Of course this one won't
be all play for they will go to York
town. Va., and from there to Will
iamsburg, where the president will be
the principal speaker when Dr. J. A.
Chandler will be formally Installed as
president of the college of William
and Mary on October 19.
The conference is the main topic of
conversation no matter where one
goes. It Is discussed not only at the
dinner, luncheon and tea tables but in
the real estate office and in the shops
and at the hotels and every place
else. The whole town seems to be
thinking nothing else, and Baltimore
seems to have caught the fever, too.
Staffs Ila Aroand.
And the different staffs are running
around in circles trying to get every
thing settled to make the delegations
from their various countries comfort
able when they come. They are said,
too, to be planning to give entertain
ments for their countrymen attending
tne conierence.
It has been said by several who
ought to know that the conference,
contrary to all expectations, will not
be marked by much entertaining, but
I think they refer onl yto official en
tertainments, not considering the en
tertainments that the diplomats are
likely to give, and that various pri
vate Individuals are sure to give. It
has been said that the secretary of
state and Mrs. Hughes will give just
one big party. But I think it safe
to say that the White House Will en
tertain for the conference members
at least once, and then there will be
many, many smaller entertainments,
and the city I sure to be gayer than
ever in Its history, and it will "get
gay" earlier.
8eell Whirl t-Degln Early.
Any way you put It, it Is sure to
be a winner. Mrs. Harding is sure to
announce her plans early next month.
The conference coming here in No
vember means that the entertaining
at the White House will begin earlier
than usual, but I have been Informed
that the traditional state receptions
will be given In January and Febru
ary, the state dianer a little earlier.
Already a number, of charity balls
have been annunced as planned or
the early days of the conference, and
more are being planned. Last winter
Washington broke all records for
charity balls. Many weeks there
were two and three within seven
days, and one of those days was Sun
day. The board of governors of the
National Women's foundation have
announced that they will give a ball
snd pssreant. featuring the different
nations represented at the armament I
conference, upon the evening of No
vember 16.
Of course, the delegates to the con
ference and other distinguished vis
itors will all be especially invited and
will be great drawing cards. The
Robrt K. Lee chapter. United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy, has an
nounced a ball on November 21. You
see, the conference Is responsible for
all the entertainments starting much
earlier this year than la usual.
Tw ex-Presidents at Washtagte.
Washington Is wonder if ex-PreI-dent
Wilson and his wife will take
I art in the social features of the
conference. Tou see, this winter will
find two ex-presidents living ia lb
national capital, a condition that
never existed heretofore.
Ex-President Taft will be sure to
take part in the social life of the
capital, not only aa ex-president, but
as chief Justice. Mr. Wilson Is Just
a private citizen and not of the same
political faith aa the powers that c.
so some are wondering if the foreign
delegations to the conference, meat
of wom are personally acquainted
already with Mr. Wilson, may with
propriety call upon that gentleman.
European politicians are extremely
formal about that sort of thine and
probably will make certain ot th
situation before leaving their cards
at 2140 S street. It was thought that
when Rene Vivianl waa hers re
cently on a special mission he would
visit Mr. Wilson, but be did not, and
it is said perhaps th French minis
ter thought it must be more tactful
to refrain from doing so.

One of the aubjects drawn for dis

nubile works, such as roads and

a survey of such work, under actual
development, and projected, with in

Another subject to come will be
legislation. The delegatea will be
asked to consider what laws, if any,
must well be passed to help. A third
subject will be transportation.
The srreat railroads of the country
as well as the ocean carriers will
have their representatives present
and will be asked to consider and
formulate, if possible, some definite
agreement.
Labor will be represented, too, and
all parties will be expected to work
