6 THg gggRAT tBaSSKOMX PQR1XAS1 MAY 21, 1922 EUROPEAN PACT Oil BRIEF TRUCE Guarantee Opens Way to Fur ther Negotiations. PEOPLE BACK PREMIER Lloyd George Slated to Get High est Ovation of Career In . Commons This Week, ' BT WILLIAM BIRD. (Ctoprrlrht. 1922, br Th Oregonlaa.) LONDON,, May ..20. (Special by Wireless.) -Some Idea of the in flammable state of Europe may be gleaned from the fact that the guar antees of the mutual non-aggression pact now are phrased in months In stead of years. Lloyd George's original non-ag-tressive agreement was to cover ten years. The truce finally obtained pperates barely nine months. Europe Is -not ready to agree to keep the peace much beyond the present year, of 1922. After that what? The significance of these Jacts is deeply impressing the British nation. They now are behind Lloyd George so far as foreign policies are concerned almost to a man. '; Brief Truce Obtained. v This is a sharp change from last week. The people now believe that their premier worked day and night at Genoa against threats of war, de termined to bring about lasting peace If possible, and finally obtaining by superhuman effort a brief truce dur- lag which new peace efforts can be put forth. When Lloyd George appears in the bouse of commons Monday or Tues day he will receive the highest ova tion of his career and the whole na tion will echo ft. The nation would applaud him if he were to say that France today was the biggest obstacle to peace, although he will not say it. Those who say that English public opinion Is for the entente at any price are mistaken. Englishmen, especially ithose whose sons fought, bled and died beside their French comrades, would regret an open rupture for Sentimental reasons, but will not blame their government if it comes. They regard France, rather than Russia, as the main obstructionist at Genoa, and are mystified at Ameri ca's apparent support of France. Premier Held Peacemaker. British public opinion considers Lloyd George as the great peace maker and France as a saber-rattling nation. An impartial observer, how ever, cannot see it that way. Lloyd George was working for peace, but peace on British terms paix Britan nlca. France obstructed such a peace not because France wants war, but because she wants peace on other terms. The test of Lloyd George's disinterestedness in seeking Euro pean peace easily is made. One need only ask what has he ever done to ward reconciling France and Ger many. The answer is nothing and the reasons are clear. The traditional Uritish policy is to diivde Europe with England holding the balance and making all others dependent on her friendship at any price. Franco German unity is the last thing Eng land would foster, if it seemed probable it Is practically certain that London would do everything to fore-, stall it. The British tory "die hards" say that Lloyd George is destroying the British empire, but they know full well that he is working for a Euro pean peace on British terms only and will accept war rather than any other peace. If France and Germany tomorrow made a pact similar to the Russo German treaty of Rapallo it would establish European continental peace on a rock foundation, but it would also be the greatest blow British for eign policy ever suffered. No in formed, honest observer will question that. And that shows better than anything the essential difference be tween peace and paix Britannica Items of Interest Found in Northwest Exchanges. Nine Operators on Kerry Line vt NINE operators on the Kerry line are putting over 1,500,000 feet of logs into the Columbia every day, and the yearly output of the line now represents B0 per cent of the logs put into the Columbia river. In addition to the logging operations, two. large ehlngle mills and three sawmills are operating on the line, says the Clats kanie. Or., Chief. The camps are estimated tn nnin at least 1500 men, with a payroll rang ing upwards to $7000 a day. The fig ures represent practically a normal output rather than rush work, al though the combined output is tax ing the road almost to its capacity. The cut along the line can continue at its present rate six to ten years and still leave much timber. Some of the operators, however, will be forced to start on new holdings with in a much shorter period. Nine logging camps, employing as high as 200 to 300 men to a camp, are in operation. They are: Kerry Tim ber company, Porter-Carstens, Elwood Logging company, Westport Lumber company, Hammond Lumber com pany and Dee Logging company, Kiernan & Flora, Noyes-Holland Log ging company and Chaney & Chris tenson. Another Oil Well Being; Drilled. McMinnville people took much in terest in the sinking of the oil well at Amity, on which work has stopped for a time, says the News-Reporter. Another oil well is being drilled on the Pelletan place, two miles south of St. Paul, Marion county, about eight miles from Newberg. The well is being put down by a group of Cali fornia men who are convinced that petroleum deposits exist in western Oregon. John T. Rea, a veteran oil drilller who has worked in the oil fields of Oklahoma, California and Mexico, is in charge of the drilling operations and the drill has gone more than 600 feet. Tront Jnmps Out of River. Caught. A trout 15 inches lemg jumped out of the Deschutes river onto the foot bridge just below the mill, and was caugnt by hand by a fisherman whose name was not learned, according to iviaiinew naoer, wno was an eyewit ness and tells the Bend Bulletin aoout it.

It was made up entirely of Portland boys, most of whom were sons of families living at 'hat time In the Nob Hill district, and all of whom, living or dead, are still well remembered. The team traveled to all the bigger cities in Oregon and Washington and for several years was champion of amateur teams in the two states. It was Invariably followed In Its Journeys by a host of backers and fans, espe cially on trips to Salem. T The photograph, lent by "Trilby" Rankin, was taken at the close of the 1891 season.

The $18,000 the forest serv ice will spend this summer In the development of a road from Coal creek to the Ohanepecosh hot springs is one of the service's largest opera tions. Two surveys have been made, one about a mile shorter than the other, and it Is not yet definitely de cided which route will be followed. Conpe Goes Over 60-Foot Bank. It is not often that an automobile turns over three times, falls down a 60-foot grade, without injuring the occupants or doing serious damage to the machine, but such was the ex perience of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Wood ward, who live near the old shipyard, down on the Bayocean road, asserts the Tillamook Headlight. Monday was the time and the coupe was coasting down a grade when loose gravel caused the coupe to skid and it went over an embankment on the Netarts road to the bottom, a distance of 60 feet. It turned over threee times before alighting. Neither of the oc cupants was hurt, and the only dam age done was a broken glass of one of the coupe doors. Berry Pickers Wanted. The Pheasant Fruit Farms com pany at St. Joe will offer work to many berry pickers when the harvest ing season opens, says the McMinn ville News Reporter. The large acre age of strawberries, raspberries and loganberries now in bearing will require' a heavy force throughout the season. The company has with in a stone throw of McMinnville the largest individual fruit acreage in the Willamette valley. During the spring season this concern planted more than 240 acres to various varie ties of fruit. , When this acreage comes In full bearing, McMinnville will boast of being the center of the fruit Industry. Checks Mailed Wheat Growers. Members of the Oregon Co-operative Grain growers have been mailed checks totaling $350,000 as an addi tional advance on the 1921 pool, according to A. H. Lea, manager of the association. This is approxi mately 10 cetits a bushel and makes a total advance to the members rang ing from 65 to 75 cents a bushel, says the Madras Pioneer. Some of the large advances were as follows: Mor row county, $70,000; Sherman county, $70,000; Gilliam county, $50,000, and $30,000 to Wasco county. Umatilla Rapids Attract Interest. A request from the Seattle chamber of commerce for detailed information about the proposed Umatilla rapids project for the production of power and as a developer of arid and by irrigation has been received by the Pendleton Commercial association.

A new hearing on the establishment of a drainage district in the Zenker valley, north of Centralia. will be held at a joint meeting of the Lewis and Thurston county commissioners, says the Lewis Advocate. A Spokane firm, to which the construction con tract was awarded, has refused to sign the contract on the ground that technical errors were made in the proceedings at the original hearing. Coast Range Sawmill Burns. The Wirf sawmill, about five miles south of Willamina, was burned to the ground Tuesday morning, it is re ported in the Willamina Times. The fire was discovered about 5 o'clock and, as there were only a few who lived close to the mill, it was well underway before the neighbors could get there. About 3000 feet of lumber which was carried back was all that was saved. There was no insurance, Clatskanle Chief Buys Linotype.

ACTIVITIES GAINING RAPIDLY IN AMERICA. H. W. Stone, Portland Secretary, Observes Rejuvenation of Spirit In Eastern Centers. A rejuvenation of religious spirit throughout large eastern centers and rapid expansion in the religious work programme of the Y. M. C. A. were observed by H. W- Stone, general secretary of the Portland T. M. C. A., who has just returned frbm a trip to New York, where, as directing head of the Y. M. C. A. schools of North America, he attended a conference to settle on standardization of textbooks. It was at a gathering of 150 asso ciation executives from various large cities in the United States and Can ada, held at Lakehurst, N. J., -that Mr. Stone heard reports of surprising growth in religious work. "Two years ago the outlook seemed discouraging," he said. "During the last year the Y. M. C. A has had the largest religious work in its history. There was a notable expansion in Bible classes, religious meetings and in the movement for social righteous ness. There Is a growing expression of religion in daily life. "The association is entering upon large building campaigns. Pittsburg, Pa., on June 1, will start the erection of a $1,250,000 central building, and will erect a branch building costing $250000 for colored young men. Fort Worth, Tex., has just raised $377,000, for a building. A large amount of this was raised after the flood. The associations are showing great vital ity over the country." The general growth in activities is expected to be reflected in intensified work In the Portland association. Mr. Stone said mills were resuming operations In New England, New York and Pennsylvania; that con struction of business structures and homes was active, but that conditions in the Mississippi valley were yet rather quiet. The meeting of the board of gov ernors of the United Y. M. C. A. schools, of which Mr. Stone Is chair man, laid plans for further expansion In the system. 'Whitman to Have Clean-TJp.

FRENCH DEBTS MENACE Political Conditions Declared to Be More Important Than Obtaining Money, BT MAXIMILIAN HARDEN, Germany's Foremost Publicist. (Copyrlirht. 1022, by The Oreiconien. BERLIN, May 20. (Special cable.) America bitterly disappointed the hope of Lloyd George that, she would discover a new Europe In the birth place of Columbus. Today there Is substituted another hope, namely, that the steamer bringing J. P. Mor gan will, like another far-distant pil grim ship, bring blessings to those in sore need thereof. As Genoa's daring son discovered another world when seeking India, why shouldn't the bold Wall street lmperator discover that peace and paradise is on the way to big business? ' The promise' of abundant financial help has been whispered over the foaming prow of the Olympic In mid ocean, and the materialistic humanity of today Is giving It a heartier wel come than the gospel the apostles re ceived. At last the people hear that dread high finance has decided to grant a loan, thus saving Germany from reparations pincers and meeting France's urgent need for money. It sounds good and, to readers weak by inflation, tastes like a glass of Pom mery or Mouton Rothschild after long prohibition, but In this world of real ities It is not as easy as It looks on paper. . - Hlprh Interest Bogey. If the bankers who make up the golden International grant us the loan they will demand high Interest, sure guarantees and will say that the land that pays 2400 marks a bottle for 1921 wine the best vintage In a cen tury can pay Interest also and fur nish guarantees which must be rigid to prevent further extravagances In a country whose most prominent class Is not ashamed to live- luxuri- ously despite the nation's debts. Thus it will be impossible to borrow suf- ficient gold marks without giving in ternational control - through mort- gages on the railways, postofflces, telegraphs, industrial and landed wealth. The Interest will be terribly heavy, and the loss of sovereign rights Intolerable for a highly cul tured nation. Would France be saved If Germany submitted? She has an internal debt of 202,000,000,000 and a foreign debt of 83,000,O'00,OO0 francs, requiring about 9,000,000 francs annually for In terest, even If 9,000,000,000 owed her by small allies are unexpectedly amortized. Political Problems Vital. Political conditions, it would seem to me, are so much more Important at the moment, namely, no more mili tary sanctions by France and reduc tion of the armies of occupation. What was omitted at Genoa especially on account of the untimely Russo German treaty should now take place in the way of a thorough clearing up of the Franco-German relations. The key to the European peace temple is In Paris. After Lloyd George's invec tive and the way France has been pilloried as a peace disturber, she will be less inclined than ever to disarm and abandon her strategic Rhine po sitions. Distrustful fear, not hatred and conquest, explain her attitude. Her oldest ally, Russia, who nourished her distrust for Germany, not only failed as a protector, but since 1917 has turned against France and is even trying to escape her debt of 20,000,000,000 gold francs. The United States not only failed to ratify the Versailles peace, but vetoed Wilson's promised guarantee. Great Britain, who got all she wanted from the war and will never allow Germany to re build her fleet, expects resignation from France, plays peacemaker and threatens to dissolve the entente, which, after all, was merely the child and a mutual anti-German (marriage, and takes Italy in tow, for a country with a long coast line needing coal does not dare risk the enmity of Eng land. French Position Difficult. France is in a position which, if it were unalterable, would be tragic. By an expenditure of a tremendous military energy surpassing ali of her allies, she won a victory which ruined heT financially. The hoped-for Ger man indemnity never came as recom pense for her losses, and she has made a collective peace treaty which can be effective only with the consent of all signatories. The French policy, wrongly called Imperialistic, is cursed with unfruitfulness on account of three mistakes. First, she forgets that in a Europe from which Russia has disappeared na in nrrflvB oolitical factor, a France at enmity with Germany is wholly de pendent on England s good will. whose Interests are exactly tne op posite of those of France; second, if Germany Is aroused to sucn a tre mendous export activity as would De needed to fulfill half of the repara tions duty, it not only would ruin England's trade, but Germany would become much stronger economically than France, hence her most powerful enemy, as industrial power nowadays means power to make war. To pre vent this danger France makes the third mistake when sne opposes tne necessity for general disarmament, and refuses to abandon the right of military sanctions though even Foch opposes any Ruhr march tnus reap ing the hatreg of besieged Germany. Special Treaty Needed. Is this situation unalterable? No, France needs 'a special treaty which needs not be milder, only more rea. sonable and practicable than that of Versailles and an economic and cus toms union with Germany which would preserve her from attack more surely than the strongest Rhine army and could be held by both to secure amDle coal. iron, potash, petroleum, needed. A reat colonial empire would then begin to flourish and the pres ent unnatural conditions would end. Who could doubt that a Franco-German economic union would receive a large reconstruction loan from the United States after an understanding for world peace? Mrs. C. C. Clark Is President. SALEM, Or.. May 20. (Special.) Mrs. C C. Clark was chosen presi dent, of the Salem Women's club at the final meeting of the club year.

CLUB TO HOLD SMOKER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE ON MOTOR BOAT FANS. BT Many Speed Craft Make Ready for Rose Festival Regatta to Be Held Next Month. . Charles Turlay, chairman of the membership committee of the Port land Motor Boat club, has announced the second of a series of smokers and outings in connection with the club's membership campaign for Tuesday night. May 23. This smoker will be under auspices of the red team, captained by Ray Jamison. The programme will In clude orchestra, toe-aancers, Swiss yodelers, motion pictures and a sing ing broom. Chairman Turlay will announce the standing of the two teams at the smoker. While the Motor Boat clnb has been preparing for this membership drive, the members have been over hauling their boats and equipment. Work on the new -"mystery boat," owned brLL Adcox, F. L. Linne man and Victor Brandt, has pro gressed rapidly. It Is expected that this boat will develop In excess of 65 miles per hour. In which case it will be rated one of the fastest boats In America. Commodore Prier's cruiser Elusae has had installed a new Bix-cylinder engine. T. N. T., last year's champion m the 225-325 class, is being overhauled. Frank Vogler has a new speed boat in the water. Marlon Boone's sea sled. Miss Portland, has a new four-cylinder aeroplane motor ' and conservative members of the club say will do at least 40 to 43 miles per hour. This boat will make a pretty picture, riding about half out of water at an angle of SO degrees. It will also be the fastest sea sled for its length in the world. The Sheik, formerly the Peggy IV, has made its initial appearance on the river after having been, re modeled into an express sedan cruiser, and is now having Its hull prepared for the opening races. George Kelly left Portland Friday for ten days to a point 40 miles east of Cazadero, in the Cascade moun tains. Frank Block is overhauling his cruiser Lucine.
