Delegates Confident of Agree
ment Next Week.
STORM CAUSES DELAY
Settlement Along; Lines of Compro
mise Offered by President
Harding Expected.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Jan. 28. Tho
Shantung tie-up and Washington's
near-blizzard combined to block again
arms conference progress today, but
the delay did not dim prevailing con
fide nee that all the conference Issues
soon would be carried forward to so
lution. So far as Shantung was concerned.
It was a day of waiting for the media
tory effort of President Harding to
have Its effect at 1'ekln and Tokio.
All Indications pointed to a decision
curly next week, and all delegates ap
peared confident that the decision
would be for a settlement along the
lines of the compromise of the presi
dent.
Both meetings planned for today
were canceled because of the storm.
. One meeting was to have brought the
Japanese and Chinese delegates to
gether to begin drafting a Shantung
treaty and the other was a postponed
session of the sub-committee consider
Injf the Chinese Eastern railway.
Differences of View Develop.
The postponed Japanese-Chinese
meeting, it w.as explained, was merely
to have put into the treaty language
tho agreement already reached- on
collateral subjects.
In the Chinese Eastern railway dis
cussions, which are a part of the far
eastern committee negotiations, dif
ferences of view have developed
'which seem likely to delay adoption
for several days.
It was said tonight that the Chinese
eastern problem might become one of
tho most difficult of the lesser issues
of the conference because of the
situation of the road, partly in Si
berian and partly In Chinese terri
tory. '
It became Increasingly apparent to
day that the big question In the Shan,
tung controversy was what degree of
control is to be retained by Japan
over Tsingtao-Tslnanfu railroad while
China Is paying for It. With that out
of the way, it is conceded, settlement
of other detafis will be easy.
While the other Important projects
of the conference are. awaiting for a
Shantung settlement, the delegates
are preparing the ground for a dis
cussion of the "21 demands'' and other
proposed questions.
Kaval Agreement Expected.
In some conference circles there is
a feeling that If Shantung Is returned
to China, many of the objecttonal
features of the "demands" programme
already will have been removed. It la
not expected that any definite con
ference action can be taken on the
subject, present sentiment apparent
ly pointing to a course like that
taken in regard to Siberia which will
uprcad on the conference records the
views of the several governments.
Although it baa been the general
belief that no final action would be
taken on the naval treaty until a
settlement of the Shantung qwstion
Is virtually assured, it was said to
night In Japanese quarters that the
fortifications article of the treaty,
the only point remaining open, un
doubtedly will be agreed to within a
few days. ,
To emphasize the Chinese viewpoint
regarding Japanese participation in
management of the Tslngtao-Tsinanfu
ruilroad. Dr. l'aul Kelnsoh, former
American minister to China and legal
adviser to the Chinese government.
Issued a statement tontfcht declaring
that continuance of a Japanese traf
fic manager would vitiate any real
settlement of tho Shantung question.
Vital Point Involved.
He alluded to statements made by
spokesmen of the American delega
tion that only an "Inf inltessimal"
difference remained between the Jap
anese and Chinese and declared that
on the contrary the point Involved
was a vital one.
"The arrangement by which the
ole control of operations could still
bo exercised by foreign officials." he
continued, "cannot be regarded as a
settlement, as It would continue the
fundamental difficulty of the situa
tion. "Should the Chinese delegation be
forced to accept this arrangement, let
us not flutter ourselves that it con
stitutes a solution or settlement of
the Shantung question. The essen
tho difficulty still remains, the op
portunity for an outside government
to control the transportation system
of the province. How Japan has used
sueh opportunities we have had abun
dant chance to learn In Manchuria.
"Jf this has to be done let us"
frankly confess failure rather than
try to conceal it by talking of 'infln
liesslmal differences between the
Japanese and Chinese.' The people In
the far east, Americans and Chinese,
will know the difference, and Amer
ican reputation will hardly be ad
vanced by such a weak excuse. Let
us not admit that we have been taken
lu by this transparent device of giv
ing up the railway and keeping Its
control. The American reputation for
gullibility is already sufficiently
strong, alas, among the Japanese."
BIG PINE MILL TO OPEN

EXTEND OPERATIONS.

J. O. Goldtliwulle.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Jan. 2S.
(Special.) Immediate resumption of
activities by the Modoc Lumber com
pany, which suspended operations last
year during the general financial de
pression, was announced today by J.
O. Goldthwaite, president of the com
pany, who returned last night with
reorganization plans and, according to
a report that preceded bis arrival,
backed by financial support that pre
cludes of possibility of failure in car
rying them out.
The outstanding features of the re
sumption are: Completion of the log
ging road to the Calamus butte unit,
work to start at once; logging opera
tions to start as soon as weather per
mits; dry kilns ordered and a con
struction contract, calling for com
pletion by May 1; planer equipment
ordered and expected to be In opera
tion May 1; overhauling and exten
sion of the sawmill to permit opera- i
tion to capacity, 136.000 feet per shift '
jaU mpl.iuent of two shifts; start-
ing of the mill at the earliest date
that weather will permit.
Four hundred men are to be em
ployed In all company operations.
several hundred more are to be em
Ployed by contractors In extending
the road and in erecting planers am
kilns.
Mr. Goldthwaite left today for the
big pine mill which is located above
Chiloquin to get preliminary plans
unner way.
The Modoc Lumber company will
operate two mill shifts from the be
ginning and It is understood that all
the big manufacturers are planning
to do likewise. Owing to a depleted
log supply this means that woods
operations must be larger than usual
irom the start.

348 WASHINGTON STREET
CAPITAL
Delegates to Farm Confer
ence Are Detained.
ENVOYS LIKE PRESIDENT
Harding Said to Show Knowledge
of Needs of Farmers During
Present Reconstruction.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington, D. &, Jan. 28. Oregon's
delegation to the president's agricul
tural conference, E. E. Favllle, Port
land, editor of the Western Farmer
Professor C. I.' Lewis of Salem, assist
ant general manager of the Oregon
Co-operative Growers' .association;
C. E. Spence of Oregon City, master
of the Oregon state grange, and Roy
Ritner of Pendleton, extensive wheat
grower and president of the Oregon
state senate, were snowbound in
Washington tonight.
. Plans they had made for getting
away were blocked by one of the
heaviest snowstorma in the history of
the national capital, a snowfall which
not only tied up all passenger traf
fic on the railroads leading in and
out of the city, but which also held
up city street car and motor cab traf
fic. The Oregonians discovered to
night that they cculd not so much as
get to the Union station, to say noth
ing of getting a train out of the city.
' Testimony Is Gtvcm.
They were able, however, to visit
the capitol for a short while today.
Professor Lewis and Mr. Spence testi
fied relative to the agricultural situa
tion In the northwest before the sen
ate committee on agriculture, having
been summoned by Senator McNary
The committee was holding hearings
on the Ladd bill to fix prices on agri
cultuial products as a means of sta
bilizing the - Industry.
Mr. Spence Indorsed the bill in
principle, but would not go as far as
to say that he regarded the Ladd plan
as the one and only specific, remedy
for the present dilemma of the. farm
er. He said, however, that he be
lieved "'Congress should adopt some
drastic legislation to stabilize the
prices of farm crops.-
Professor Lewis told the committee
that the principal drawback to the
fruit growers with whom he is asso
ciated is the present high freight rates.
He pointed out that the Oregon grow
ers receive but slightly more than a
cent each for apples which sell here
In Washington for 12 to 15 cents each.
He showed that the freight rates
have much to do with this vast dif
ference between the grower's and the
retailer's prices.
Mr. Favllle Inyiresaed.
Mr. Faville expressed himself as
much impressed with the results
achieved by the conference, &nd was
especially pleased with the indorse
ment given to the present contract
plan of the northwest wheat growers
for marketing their grain. '
'President Harding's address at the
opening of the agricultural, conference
was most comprehensive, expressing
in no uncertain way the present and
future needs of agriculture and the
Importance of immediate action." Mr.
Favllle said: ,
'His address laid the foundation for
the carrying out of a programme on
the part of the conference, - stressing
the early action of congress on many
matters vital to aiding the American'
farmer in getting back to normalcy."
The conference early went on record
as favoring the agricultural bloc in
congress concurred in by all dele
gales from the Pacific coast states..,
Co-operative marketing of farm pro
ducts through farm organizations was
unanimously Indorsed, stressing the
value of co-operation under the con
tract plan, realizing that only through
co-operative farmers' agencies can the
basic matters of distribution, financ
ing, warehousing and sale be effec
tively provided. . "
Orderly Marketing Aim.
Which means orderly marketing of
farm products and their standardiza-
tion "looking toward the stabilizing
of farm prices on grain, cotton and
Mvestock. Pointing toward the es
tablishing of a possible minimum
rrice on these staple crops, the con
ference requested the president and
congress to take steps which will
re-establish Immediately a fair ex
change value for all farm products
with that of all other commpdittes.
"As an aid to the marketing of
farm crops placed In warehouses, ap
propriate amendments were suggest
tnw ntr-ont-rh.. ninir the existinif fed-
i ... n ..liiinu a i-, whirh wmiM re- I
suit in regulating- uniformly the per
formance of the obligations .of ware
house men. Adequate appropriations
were asked of congress properly to
administer he act. The attention of
th conference was directed to the
value of the federal warehouse act in I
Its application to the marketing of
the 1921 wheat crop In the Pacific
northwest through the Northwest
Wheat Growers' association.
Credit Is Discussed.
"Agricultural credit and taxation
were made a part of the conference's
discussion.
"Congress ewas asked'to enact leg
islation at once to meet the need of
a short-term credit of from six
months' to three years' time. Con
gress was asked also to amend the
federal reserve act to give federal re
serve banks the authority to buy. and

tion throughout the country was-
shown by the general approval given

On the question of taxation, the
conference without opposition rec

"Much attention was accorded high
freight rates on heavy commodities.

by the American farmer. The con
clusion was reached that the railroad
corporations and railroad labor
should share in the deflation in
charges now affecting all industries.
The confreres further opposed the re
peal of the Adamson law."
The conference In Its four days of
deliberation considered practically all
phases of agricultural conditions and
remedies. It was a most representa
tive gathering and its deliberations
will not only place many problems of
present and future needs clearly be
fore congress, but will be most
wholesome when the work of the con
ference Is taken back by the dele
