Unanimous Indorsement of the state-wide tax for the 1925 exposition was voted yesterday afternoon by the Portland Fed eration of Women's clubs, which embraces an affiliating mem bership of 88 clubs, representing: membership of approximate ly 7000 voting: women. Women's organizations of the city, as represented in the Portland Fed eration of Women's clubs, yesterday afternoon adopted unanimously a reso lution indorsing: the statewide tax for the 1925 exposition and referred to each Individual affiliating: body a resolution deploring the stand of the achool board of Portland with ref erence to findings in the recent In vestigation of the propertiea depart ment. The resolution on school board af fairs, which was referred by the fed eration for consideration and action by constituent clubs, sought to ad minister reproof for the school board majority and to expreas appreciation of the services of Director Frank Shull. who brought about the Inves tigation. Charge Held Not Refuted. The resolution makes the assertion that charge-st back of the investiga tion ultimately dropped by vote of the board "were not refuted" in the course of the hearings. The resolution was Introduced by Mrs. Norman F. Coleman and was amended by motion from the floor to refer to the 88 affiliating bodies, representing 7000 women of the city of Portland, without discussion. The rules of the federation would require a two-thirds vote of the membership on a matter of public policy, but no attempt was made to bring the reso lution to a vote. Under the regular order of business it will be acted on by the Individual clubs at 'their next regular meeting and will come back to the federation on January 14. Text of Resolution. Mra. Coleman's resolution follows: Whereas. An ir.vesttgatlnn recently has been made into the conduct of properties department of achool board No. 1; and Whereas. Said investigation was attended by the public and reported in the dally press; and. Whereas. A resolution' has been passed by a majority of the school board that the enarses in question have not been sus tained and are unworthy of further con sideration; therefore, be it Resolved. That. Inasmuch as the charges were not refuted, the City Federation of clubs deplore the resolution of the school board; and be it further Resolved, That the members of the city federation express not only their appre ciation of the services rendered the public by Mr. Frank Shuli, who directed the In vestigation, but also their confidence in his integrity and disinterestedness. Naval Reduction Indorsed. Unanimous Indorsement was given Secretary Hughes' recommendations for naval reduction as presented be fore the limitation of armament con ference. Mra. G. U Buland presented the resolution for the federation's consideration. The 1925 exposition was Indorsed' In a resolution which commended Governor Olcott for calling a special session of the legislature and stated that the entire membership of voting women was behind the state tax for the world's fair. The resolution states In part: The 1923 fair tax was carried In the city f Portland by a vote of more than four to one. and we worm n recognize the broad educational and cultural advantage to be derived from holding a world's fair within the borders of the state, to say nothing of the added general prosperity that will ac crue to us. therefore, be It resolved, that the Portland Federation of Women's clubs does hereby endorse the measure of a Mate-wide tax for the 102. fair and we earnestly implore the members of both houses f the legislature to confine them selves exclusively to the consideration of those questions named In the governor's call, to the end that the serwlon may not be prolonged to unreasonable length. In curring needless expense to the taxpayers St the state. Wholehearted Support Given. The measure is the second which me reooratton has passed within the last few weeks in which It has signi fied Its wholehearted support of the exposition.

AMERICA'S SIGNING OF TREATY SUBJECT TO YAP NEGOTIATION Reservations Are Made Also ih Respect to Mandated Islands in Pacific Ocean South of Equator Terms of Four-Powr. Compact Are Simple. (Continued from pwire 6.) peace in the Pacific and the Far East, the powers agree not to conclude be tween themselves any treaty or agree ment directly affecting China -or the general peace in these regions without previously notifying China and giv ing to her an opportunity to parti cipate." "There was a full discussion of the matter Involved and a general ex pression of desire fully to aid China in the establishment and maintenance of a stable and efficient government, while at the same time it waa recog nized that the general freedom of the treaty-making powers of the re spectiw governments could not well be limited in matters that were in no sense In derogation of the prin ciples that had been adopted and hence were not in any way of a char acter to operate adversely to the in terests and rights of China. Accord ingly, after discussion, the following resolution was adopted for recom mendation to this conference: " 'That the powers attending this conference, helnafter mentioned, to wlt, the United State of America, Belgium, the British empire, China, France. Italy, Japan, the Netherlands and Portugal, declare that It Is their Intention not to enter into any treaty, agreement, arrangement, or under standing either with one another or individually or collectively with any other power or powers, which would infringe or Impair the principles w hich have been declared by the reso lution adopted November 21 by this committee.' "That being the resolution, first presented here and adopted in this conference, are you ready to give as sent to this resolution?'' (Assent was given.) Discussion Still In Progress. '"I may add that the discussion of the questions relating to China are still in progress in the committee which deals with Pacific and far east ern questions, and it is hoped, or per haps I may venture express for myself the hope, that these resolu tions already adopted and the consid eration of other matters that are be fore the committee and will be brought before this conference may lead to an appropriate agreement in which all the powers represented here may participate and to which possi bly others may desire to adhere and may have the opportunity to adhere, which will deal generally with the questions relating to the far eaai and to policies in reference to China and also with respect to the territorial status of the countries concerned. May I hope at least'that something of that sort may bo the result of our deliberations 7" Mr. Vivian! said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: "In the name of the government of the French republic, whose authority I am borrowing now, and who speaks through my voice, 1 am glad to bring here, In its full amplitude, without any reticence or any reservations, our full adhesion to the pact that has Just been read, and which has been followed by such a penetrating and thorough analysis on the part of Sen ator Lodge. France Assumes Obligation. "Gentlemen, the day after the rati fication has been exchanged France will assume all the obligations that fall upon her by virtue of thiB pact, just as she will exercise the rights that she deserves from the agreement. Here, gentlemen, in the midst of the nations that have come to meet here, and I think all nations that are ac customed to honor their signature. I think that I am entitled to say that, when speaking of the agreement, France-enjoys a good place here and that she had never declined to stand by her plighted word. And when there . has been a question of either stand ing by the pledged word and honor ing her signature, or taking arms. France has not hesitated to seal with the blood of her own children the treaties to which she had appended her name, and she has kept oath. "Gentlemen, the political and diplo matic value of the Instrument which has just been read, thanks to the very simple summary given by Senator Lodge, has been perfectly understood by you. Yet, I think it will be fit to tarry a while and mark here to gether the full accord oi our wills. Rights to Be Respected. "It is understood between the four powers that as regards to the insular possessions and dominions that they will respect the rights of each other; and, if on the horizon, there should arise anjT cause of conflict, or con troversy, 'a controversy that cannot be settled through the usual channels of diplomacy, they will consult to gether and they will conciliate. Should any aggression arise on the part of any power, should real danger threaten the peace of the world in those regions, then the four nations will take counsel together and they will see what is necessary to do owing to the exigencies of the situa tion. And this agreement is to last ten years, while the agreement con cluded between , Gnat Britain and Japan is to terminate. That is, gen tlemen, the Juridical scope of the draft treaty which has Just been read out, but I think we should be failing to ourselves, and to what we owe. our selves, and to you. and especially to the very sumptuous hospitality that we have enjoyed in the United States, if we did not try all together to de velop and emphasize the great moral value of what I can call an historical date. "Senator Lodge has shown quite well, that without any naval r mili tary sanctions being provided, or even thought of. it was sufficient that four nations had put their heads together, were animated by the same will to preserve peace; that was sufficient, that was a sufficient guarantee of protection for the peace of the world. Conference Held Success. "Gentlemen, in this illustrious room, from this high sounding platform, so high that however weak may be the voice of the man who speaks. It will lie heard by the whole world gentle men, after having listened to the documents, after having thus proved our willingness to collaborate and co operate together, I think I am en titled to say that this conference. In which we have had the honor to par ticipate and in which we have been proud to help, has fully and entirely succeeded. "Gentlemen, when we came here we knew that we were taking risks to a certain extent. And what risks were these? "Senator Lodge has Just alluded to them, not without certain bitterness. Wei!, gentlemen, things are what they are and we have got to take things as theyare. Since the armis tice some of the peoples of the world have been wondering what use there had been in this war and whether any good was ever to come of it. They have been wondering whether all these sacrifices were to have been made In vain. They have been ask ing themselves in anxiety, whether really there would be no change in the conditions of the civilized world, and they have been wondering whether Justice would rise to the height of their nobie endeavors. And then, this conference was convened. A Ml Declared Clear. "Well, the peoples of the world be gan to say, what will be the outcome of this conference? Is it to be an ether meeting? Is it to be another consultation, or is It to end in Idle talk, or is it going to result in either r.ight or light issuing out of this conference? "Gentlemen, I think the answer has been clearly given, and, thanks to the limitation contemplated in naval arm aments, thanks to this draft treaty I think the conference has been a success and that the peoples of man kind can at last believe the progress of civilisation. "Senator Lodge referred to the Pa cific regions being far removed. In far distant parts of the globe, and a wish was expressed that the will of peace should be extended to other parts of the world. Ah. gentlemen, to whom but to the French delega tion could these words be more agree able and sound more welcome? I say this, thinking of all the suffer ing that we have had to go through, having in mind mourning families, the dead who fcver our soil, fifteen hundred thousajid tombs that are on such bare, barren ground that we wonder If the spring will ever bring flowers enough to enable us to deco rate these tombs. Words of Fesre Welcome. "Gentemen, when we remember all this there are no words than can be more welcome thati the words of peace. We have done everything to avoid war. I can personally bear witness to this, as because of un toward circumstance I happened to be at the head of the French gov ernment when, war broke out. I, as the head of the government, assumed the terrible responsibility of ordering the French troops to withdraw within ten kilometers of our own frontier. I assumed, the responsibility of de livering part of my country to the enemy in order to avoid any possible cause of conflict to avoid any possible not be said that France had been the first to open hostilities. "I took the responsibility to wait upon the last moment to order mob ilization in a F.urope that was shiv ering and ready in her armour to meet the foe. I waited till the last hour, the last minute: I waited as iong as there was a gleam of hope left, until there was no hope for peace, and it was only at the last moment, when no escape was left, that I assumed the responsibility of ordering mobilization; but at last France had to go in. She decided to take a chance and fight, not only for her own dignity and Independence, but for the liberties of the world and the destinies of civilization. Arms Declared I. aid Down, "Gentlemen, now we have laid down our arms. Of course. I cannot pre sume to speak on behalf of other na tions, but I feel sure they will be with me and permit me to say that we in Europe, do not ask you here in the States, to interfere with European affairs. We respect the independence of the United States. We do not pre sume to ask you to interfere in any way whatever but, however you Judge us, you are free to judge us, and before you Judge us, and before you express your opinion, we will ask you to listen to us and have a little forbearance. "Europe is an old country; It Is a war-wearied world, over which 20 centuries of fighMng and struggles have passed. It has been steeped hundreds of times in blood and tears, frontiers have been trampled upon, countries have been torn to pieces, and floods of hatred and villany have been pouring during centuries over that old ground. And to end this there has been a war which has laid whole countries waste and which has de stroyed whole expanses of cultivated land. A war. did I say. gentlemen? That is not the right word. You have witnessed, and you have taken share in a revolution, not a war;"that la to say, a revolution that crushed forever, 1 hope, the spirit of m'litar- ism and autocracy, and whilst we were crushing the old spirit of dom ination, we were calling to life, we were calling to light and to hope and joy. a number of young nations. Forbearanee Is Urged. "Gentlemen, these nations have just now been brought Into the world, they have been created and you have helped to create them. They must learn. They do not know yet what it is to be a nation. Therefore. I tell you, you must use a little forbearance, you must be patient. "How is It possible at once to say in these troublous regions, in those parts of Europe that are still dis turbed, that have not had the time to settle down, how is It possible to say that we shall have, we must have peace, we must establish peace at once? "Gentlemen, it Is Impossible to ask for tranquility at once. No more is it possible to expect that after a storm has troubled the depths of the ocean the waters will immediately become tranquil and lie smooth. So, gentle men, you must have a little forbear ance, as I say. We have, I must say, assumed more confidence by coming Into touch with you and in seeing the men that have been obliged to take arms otv our side, the men that not only have been obliged to fight, but are now obliged to organize a troubled world. "Well, these men of whom I am one here enter their solemn oath to establish peace amongst men, it be lng understood that peace will pre- This New Strad. Harmony Model Selected Qur, ol.

Mr. Balfour said: "You have heard an exposition by Senator Lodge of the contents of this treaty, admirable in Its clarity, per fect In its literary form, and you have I Just heard the way in which this j treaty strikes a great Frenchman in I its world relations. You have heard. the views, in an eloquent speech by one of the greatest masters of elo quence now. living. One Clause Is Discussed. "So far as I am concerned, I would most gladly leave the matter In their hands, for I have nothing to add to what they have said upon the gen eral aspects of the treaty. If I rise to occupy your attention for one or two moments, it is not to deal with the treaty In Its entirely, but merely to say something about one clause in that treaty in which only my friends from Japan and the British delega tion can regard themselves as Imme diately Interested, although I think It touches in truth, and In reality, the interests of the whole world. "You will all have noticed that clause four provides that when this treaty receives its ratification at the hands of the signatory powers, that at that moment the treaty between Japan and Great Britain comes to an end. Now. I am perfectly well aware that the treaty between Great'Britaln and Japan has beed the cause of much searchjngs oX heart, of some suspi cions, of a good deal of animadversion In important sections of opinion in the United States, and I think that from a historical point of view that attitude may at first cause surprise, for certainly nothing was further from the thoughts of the original framers of the treaty between Japan and Great Britain than that it could touch In the remotest way. either for good or for evil, the interests of the United States. The United States seemed as remote from any subject touched in the original agreement as Chile or Peru. "I think that was the original view taken in the United States by all sec tions of opinion. To what is it that the change of opinion is due? I think it is due to the fact that a state of International tension did arise In the Pacific area and I hope I may in cidentally say that it is now forever set at rest; but at all events, it did arise In the area of the Pacific ocean, and critics in the United States be gaM to Say to themselves, 'why Is there this treaty between Japan and Great Bfitain? What further inter est does it serve?' Aggressive Attitude Cited. "They call to mind the fact that it originally came into being on ac count of the aggressive attitude taken in far eastern affairs by Rus sia and by Germany, and they asked themselves, is there any further dan ger from Russia? Is there any fur ther peril to be feared from Ger many? And when they answered that question, as of course they were obliged to answer it. in the negative, when they perceived that the practi cal objects for which the Anglo-Japanese alliance was brought into being no longer existed, that history had wiped them out. they said to them selves, 'why. then. Is this treaty con tinued? May It not in certain con ceivable eventualities prove hamper ing and injurious in case strained re lations should become yet more strained?" "I understand that point of view, but there is another point of view which I want you to understand and which even those who disagree with it will sympathize with. There is no audience that I would rather ap peal to than an American audience on the point r am just going to men tion. This treaty, remember, was not a treaty that had to be renewed. It was a treaty that ran until it was formally denounced by one of the two parties to it. It Is true that the ob jects for which the treaty had been created no longer required Interna tional attention. Treaty in Effect 20 Years. "But, after all. that treaty or its predecessors had been in existence nearly 20 years, it bad served a great purpose In two great wars. It had stood the strain of common sacrifices, common anxieties, common efforts, common triumphs. "When two nations have been unit ed In that fiery ordeal they cannot, at the end of it, take off their hats one to the other and politely part as two strangers part who travel to gether for a few hours. Something more, something closer, unites them than the mere words of the treaty, and, if it were gratuitously and with out a cause to tear up the written contract, although it ser'S no longer any valid or effective purposes, such action might lead to misunderstand ings in one nation just as much as the maintenance of that treaty has led to misunderstandings in another. "So that Great Britain found itself between the possibilities of two mis understandings, a misunderstanding if they retained the treaty, a misun derstanding if they denounced the treaty, and we have Iong come to the conclusion that the only possible way out of this impasse, the only possible way of removing those suspicions and difficulties which are some of the greatest obstacles to the condition of serene peace which is the only toler able condition after all, for civilized people, the only solutioi was that we should annul, merge, destroy, as it were, this ancient and outworn and unnecessary agreement and to replace It by something new, something ef fective, which should embrace all -the powers concerned In the vast area of the Pacific.

The solution Is one which gives me a satisfaction which I find it difficult, wliich I find it impossible, adequately to express in words. "It so happens that I was at the head of the British administration whleh 20 years ago brought the first Anglo-Japanese alliance into exist ence.

"Mr. chairman, you told us most truly that this treaty did not strictly come within the four corners of the conference programme, and that state ment was perfectly accurate, but no man or woman who has listened at this discussion, who has heard Senator Lodge read and comment on the treaty, who has heard M. Viviani's eloquent statement, nobody can consider the substance and matter of the treaty without seeing that whether or not it be within the strict programme of our conference, nothing is more ger mane to its spirit and nothing that we could possibly have done would bet ter prepare the way for that diminut ion of naval armament which I hope will be one of our greatest triumphs.' DAIRYMEN TO VOTE AGAIN STATEMENT OF ISSUE BEING SENT TO ALL MEMBERS. More Representative A'ote Is Hoped for at Next Ballot to Pass on Liquidation. With another election on the ques tion of dissolving the Oregon Dairy men's co-operative league still in the future the affairs of that organization will be in an unsettled state until the question is settled by the vote of the members on December 27. Directors of the organization are of the opinion that a more represen tative vote will be obtained at the coming election than was the case at the election last Tuesdaywhen the question of dissolution lost. A more representative vote, the directors be lieve, will mean a majority for dis solution. In order that all members of the organization may thoroughly under stand the issue detailed statements are being prepared at the headquar ters of the league and sent out with the ballots to each member. The move for dissolution contem plates the formation of local organi zations in the various districts in which the league has been operating and the turning over of the plants now operated by the league to the local organizations. To do this it will be necessary to give the plants to the holders of preferred stock in the by-products corporation of the league In order to satisfy the stock holders. This will then make it pos sible for the local organizations to take over the plants for operation. WHEAT SLUMP EXPLAINED World Too Liberally Supplied. Says Liverpool Importer. ASTORIA. Or.. Dec. 10 (Special.) The Astoria Flouring Mills com pany has received a letter from Pill man & Phillips of Liverpool. England, importers of American flour, explain ing in part, at least, the reason for the present stagnation in the export wheat and flour trade on the Pacific coast. The letter, dated November 18. says: "The wheat and flour, trade remains in a state of depression. There is al together too much wheat In the world. It is likely that the . Argentine and Australian crops will be successfully harvested. That being so, it does not matter whether there is much or little wheat left to ship in the United States.
