flTE SXTNDAV OIIEGONIAX, PORTLAND, UAXUART 8, 1922 PREM IS PUN DEFENSE OF FRANCE Agreement Against German ! Aggression Forming. GUARANTEE BASIC ISSUE Belief Now Is That French Will Agree to Arbitration or Sub- i j marine Tonnage Question. 'PARIS, Jan. 7. Premiers Lloyd Oeorg-e and Brland, at Cannes, are negotiating a defensive military agreement against . German aggres sion, according to the Havaa corre spondent. i. ! CANNES, Jan. 7. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Great ' Britain may enter Into an agreement to guarantee the security of France In the event of an unprovoked attack by Ger many. This was reliably reported In British circles at the allied supreme oounoU meeting here this evening. '. It was pointed out that security for France in the nature of a British guarantee was one of the basic ques tion before the conference. These aame circle announce that the pro posed guarantee was a subject of ciscuraion during conversations at London between Mr. Lloyd George and IS. Brland. In the event the projected agree ment Is reached, it is thought in British circles that It will be preceded by a full, frank reconsideration of the submarine ratio as between the two countries, some of those commenting cuing a report that Great Britain is offering the guarantee provided the Kronen agree to arbitration in sub marine tonnage. German Experts Called. ' Representatives of Germany next week- will come here to discuss with the supreme council the reparations proposals to be prepared by the allied maiesmen. " This was decided on at the second day's session of the council today and notification was dispatched to Berlin, stipulating, however, that the German exports go to Paris first and there hold themselves ready for the calL As originally introduced by Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain, the proposal would have asked the Ger man representatives to come direct to Cannes, but M. Brland, vouchsafing me opinion that it was necessary to reach an agreement among themselves first, it was modified. , ' The work of the council slowed up today when the thorny reparations questions came up. Yesterday's speedy decision on calling an international financial and economic conference with the participation of Russia and Germany and the progress made by the reparations experts today raised the hope for a time that there might be an early adjournment, but later It became apparent that the council was not so near an agreement as were the experts. By the experts it was maintained that there was an agreement in prin ciple, but the members of tne council announced farther deliberation was necessary after which the council would receive the experts' report and jtiake its decision. . - i Experts Reach Agreement. The experts. It is learned, have reached an agreement providing for payment by Germany of 600,000,000 gold marks in cash and 1,000,000,000 gold marks in kind each year over a period of years. In today's deliberations Great Brit ain, In exchange for abandonment of her 22 per cent of the first two pay ments In 1922, asked Belgium to re nounce' in part her priority claim so that France can share in those pay ments and demanded also that France ratify the August agreement whereby the first billion gold marks now in the hands of the reparations commission wpuld be applied to the payment of Great Britain's and Belgium's occu pation expenses to the exclusion of France. Mr. Lloyd George also resisted all suggestions that steps be taken to gain Btronger guarantees from Ger many asked by France, such as a commission on the Gorman debt, to Control customs, monopolies and tax receipts. I It was suggested at a meeting of the experts, previous to the decision to invite German representatives to Cannes, that Germany be asked to (lend a representative here to confer with the council regarding reparations payments before any action -toward further guarantees was taken. J)?REXCH PRESS DISTRUSTFUL ... Day's Developments at Cannes Con t J ferenco Disappoint. i PARIS, Jan. 7. (By the Associated Press.) D.sappointment and skepti cism were the mildest,' emotions aroused In France by the' first day's developments at the supreme council conference In Cannes, fudging from press comment. L'EcIair, which is generally credited with representing premier Brland, says: "Mr. Lloyd George has spoken. He leads the way and the representatives Of the allies follow as a subject fol lows the hypnotist. As he had an nounced, he subordinated the question of reparations to that of the recon struction of Europe, so that Germany ican find in Russia the moi.ey she Dwes us. It is a well-known pro ceeding. It is that followed by all financial adventurers. When the company is unable to mee. its obliga tions a new one Is formed in which Che capital of the old one is drowned." I The Figaro, organ of conservative opinion, remarks: v "The first results at Cannes are frankly bad. Lloyd George wins easily all along the line. A great financial and econom'3 conference is o be called at Turin or Genoa, where Jthe French premier may exchange Ariews on .he reconstruction of Europe Jwitn Lenine and Dr. W'irth.

INTERNAL CHAOS LOOMS Attitude of De Valera and His Sinn Fein Supporters Held to Menace Country. BT GEORGE N. BARNES. (Ctopyrtiht, 1622, by The Oreronlan.) LONDON, Jan. 7. (Special by Wire less.) The news from Ireland Is both good and bad. De Valera's maneuver of resignation and subsequent retrac tion and bitter debate at Dublin dur ing the last half of the week have filled the friends of Ireland In Great Britain with misgivings. The question naturally has arisen, will Ireland accept the democratic principle of a rule of the majority, or will the island be torn with factional warfare when the British troops are removed? , It Is a lack of the spirit of democ racy, of majority rule, which Is so dlsauletintr. One of the speakers in the Dall Eireann this week expressed a view which appeared to find pretty wide acceptance, but which strikes at the root of democratic government. He told his fellow members of the Dail that they faced merely a choice of evils. . Domestic Chaos Forecast. '"Either we are to have chaos and war with England," he said, "or, alter natively, we are to have chaos with out war with British soldiers. I favor ratification of the treaty only because it will eliminate the soldiers." De Valera's message was but little less significant. But surely there is a further alter native. There is the alternative of orderly, constructive work without either chaos or war. And that depends upon the majority and minority of the Dail closing up their ranks and showing what rational nationalism can do. Rational nationalism, unior tunately. has not been kept elsewhere In the new states created by the war. The multiplicity of states has but multiplied the Irrationalities. Ireland has the opportunity of redeeming the new practice and principle of "self determination." Ireland Land of Contrarettea. But Ireland Is a country of con trarieties. No one can predict its future alignment of parties or forces with any degree of assurance. I am inclined to think, however, that self interest and common sense would bring Ulster Into line if the Sinn Fein parliament got settled down to prac tical work, and I also think that Sir James Cralg will enforce order In Belfast with a heavy hand as soon as he gets the new authority duly con stituted. It has been one of the unexpected developments in Ireland that, while the southwest has been law-abiding and Inclined to peace, the northeast has been haunted by evil-doers. There Is further contrariness in a situation which shows the Sinn Fein parlia ment somewhat discredited by ha rangues and emotional Irrelevancles. while Premier Cralg at Belfast has shown a sauvlty and wisdom which has been a revelation to many. Dublin Center of Gravity. Dublin, however, has been the cen ter of gravity, for It is there that the attitude and general psychology of Sinn Fein has been revealing itself. Despite the fact that the adjournment of the debate over the holidays re sulted in ample evidence that the people of Ireland desired acceptance of the Downing-street settlement, this pressure of public opinion apparently weighed but little with the elected persons at Dublin who launched them selves upon a fresh outburst of turbid talk, ending with De Valera's declara tion that he, for one, would "never be a British subject." Mr. Lloyd George, In a firm yet con ciliatory public statement, had made It quite clear that neither he nor any British statesman could go further than the terms of the document al ready Indorsed by the British parlia ment. Factionalism Worst Menace. It was under these circumstances that discussion on the document, with Do Valera's alternative plan thrown In. had been continued since Tuesday last, and I am constrained to say the Dublin proceedings have proved some what of a trial to the friends of Ire land on .this side of the channel. Eng lishmen have the kindliest possible feelings toward the Irish people, and every sympathy with them in their difficulties. But we at least expected that a large view would be taken at Dublin In the new situation, which has been opened out. i We have found. Instead, a spirit of' factionalism 'which threatens new troubles and possibly new bloodshed, if or when the British forces are withdrawn from the country.

Woodson, representing Mor row and Umatilla for several years, has declared be has been In the legis lature long enough and wants to quit before It becomes a habit. Frank Sloan of Umatilla Is to have oppo sition. Mr. Sloan, residing at Stan field, has no objection to the talked of Umatllla-Wallula cutoff, and this has aroused the antagonism of the Pendleton voters. When word was sent to him during the special ses sion that he might not be elected if he ran for the bouse, Mr. Sloan sent word back to the Pendletonian who Inspired the statement that he might decide to run for the senate. This would bring him In conflict with Senator Ritner, who has announced his candidacy for the senate. Maupln Man Han Hopes.

Jones now holds and which Mr. Jones wants to retain. E. D. Cusick of Albany, a former state senator, will run for the senatorship of Lane and Linn and if elected he is considered a strong contender for president of the senate, a position, by the way, which Charles Hall of rCoos and Curry wants, and which Gus C. j Moaer of Multnomah, a former pre- siaing officer, also wants.
