Newspaper Page Text6 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAY 21, 1923 PARLEY JIT GEN GETS 1 RESULTS Tardieu Declares Methods Used Were Wrong. CONFERENCE IS FAILURE I'lan for Reconstruction Offered s Economic One When It Was. Essentially Political. BI AXDRE TARDIEU. Former French Hiph Commissioner to the United States. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) PARIS, May 20. (Special by Wire lees.) One supreme conclusion evolved from the finish of the Genoa conference, namely, that all the Eu ropean powers, with their hundreds of delegates and experts, conferred from April 10 to May 19 without bringing; about a single useful result. Impartial judges will agree that this is BO. There Is room for reflection in this. There was to be a great concerted effort toward economic reconstruc tion. It completely failed. What can one eay except that the method was wrong? If success now is desired, then other methods must be found. Genoa Plan Conceived In 4b21. Lloyd-George conceived the Genoa plan at the end of 1921 along the lines suggested by Keynes, which he bad scornfully flouted in 1919, but has since adopted. He offered this plan as an economic one, although it was essentially political. He took for granted that revision of the peace treaty -was a prerequisite to economic reconstruction,- Starting from this hypothesis, Lloyd George has strug gled six weeks with failure as the result. How can this surprise you when you reflect that there were half a dozen states In central and eastern Europe created by the war and the peace treaties' -which never will agree to take any such step? Hatreds Are Sharpened. Thus we may conclude that if we desire to do any constructive work economically it will be better not to begin with destructive work. Keynes sndi Lloyd George's thesis was that for economic reasons it was necessary to modify Europe's political charter, especially so far as it concerns east ern frontiers. The result belies this. The eoviets will not renounce com munism nor propaganda, the Euro pean states refused to allow their frontiers to be brought into the dis cussion. Through failure to realize these plain facts all hatreds have been sharpened rather than appeased. Isn't it time now to try the contrary system, recognizing that the war-born frontiers are the expression of na tionalist ambitions and to start with this fact when working for economic reconstruction? t With the problem thus clarified, we can see that the Anglo-Saxons have a large share of responaibllity for the economic disorder for which they llame the treaties. If, when the armistice came, the English and Americans had not been so quick to break the economic ties entered into during the war, Europe would not suffer so bitterly today. Ruined Eu rope is told to un'te and sacrifice in dividual interests to the common wel fare. When, eaMy in 1919, the United States and England forced dissolution of the inter-allied economic organism, refusing aid toward avoiding or lim iting the exchange crisis; when the English mines, because of high ex port prices, lost their foreign mar kets; -when Anglo-Saxon countries, creditors of the whole world, under took to oblige debtors to pay without taking into consideration unpaid sums owed these countries by others, it hardly can be saldi that London and Washington were inspired by a desire for solidarity and reconstruction. . In short, accepting not" only as a right but as a fact Europe's present political statue, efforts should be made toward consolidating it instead of constantly -weakening it by prop aganda for revision. When that's done, consider the economic problem in itself and you can understand Europe -will not be reconstructed by ukases from England and America, but through Joint labor. Such is the outline of a plan respectfully submit ted for attention after the total fail ure, of the Lloyd George method at Genoa. Unhappily, no authority sponsors this plan. France had a wholly nega tive policy at Genoa and The Hague meeting, which the United States , wisely declined to attend, will be a pale continuation of the efforts which l-roved their futility at Genoa. Noth ing will be accomplished there except further irritation of Europe's sore spots. The Anglo-Saxon reconstruction plan is bankrupt. When shall we have a continental plan? When a French plan?

Like most other places throughout the state, the rad'o bug has hit Carl ton and an outfit costing $300 is be ing installed. A subscription among the business men and residents of the town and surrounding country was taken to defray the expense. Surveying of Timber Land In Far North Also Made Easy by Employing Aviators. NEW YORK, May 19. (Special.) The use of the airplane for exploita tion purposes in Newfoundland was described by Allen S. Butler, a young English flyer and sportsman, who, with two friends, has organized the "Aerial Surveying company," with headquarters in St, Johns. Mr. Butler said that the accomplishment in New foundland last winter had started a new era in aviation, and that the pos sibilities of the employments of planes in the commercial. development of a country like Newfoundland were un limited. Mr. Butler is on his way home to England to buy new equipment with which to extend the operations of the company this fall. He told of the many phases of commercial aviation in which he and his friends had engaed, including mail carrying to districts which had previously been shut off from communication for weeks at a time; seal "spotting" by planes and direction of the seal boats by radio, and surveying of large tracts of tim berland from the air. Butler Competes In Derby. Mr. Butler, who is 23 years old, is a director and one of the principal stockholders of the De Haviland Air craft company. He competed in the last aerial derby in Enjland, finish ing third. His associates in the New foundland enterprise are Major Sid ney F. Cotton, an Englishman, and V. S. Bennett, whose father is polit ically prominent in Newfoundland. Three planes were used In the ex ploitation work last winter a West- land, a Martynside and a De Haviland. The hangar was at St. Johns and the base of the company is at Botwood, on the northernmost point of New foundland. Supplies are sent from England and are distributed during the summer to a number of sub-bases, including points in Labrador. In the seal hunting .the planes cover a distance of about 300 miles over the Atlantic north of Labrador. The seals are "spotted" in much the same man ner that army fliers spotted army batteries, and the locations are sent by radio to the seal ships, which break their way through the ice to the loca tions given. A contract has been made with a conference of Newfound land seal hunters by which the "Ae rial Surveying company" receives 10 cents for every seal under three years caught as a result of informa tion sent from the planes. Mr. But ler said that the planes had found hundreds of thousands of seals during March, which is the principal season for seal hunting off Newfoundland. Aerial Surveys Successful. Surveying of timberland by airplane has proved very successful, Mr. Butler said. "Surveying and inspection of a tract that would have taken two years by working on the ground has been accomplished in an hour,' he said. "By a irplane photographs it is possible to get a very accurate picture of a tract, showing just what parts, if any, have been burned out. The malls have been carried during the winter to many points in the inte rior of Labrador that previously have been reached only by dog-sled, making only 2ft miles or less a day. Two trips were made into Labrador in a few hours. . During the winter Belle Isle straits, between Labrador and Newr foundland,. are filled with floating ice, and they are seldom crossed. The only means of communication, therefore, la to Canada, and then to Labrador by Mainland, a distance of 2300 miles, to communicate between points 400 miles apart. The company, Mr. Butler said: has some contracts with the New foundland government for mail carry ing, and the people in the-interior are besieging their governmental rep resentatives for regular mail service by airplane. lar case it must be admitted that if there had been no system of party primaries in Indiana there would have been practically no possibility of getting Mr. Beveridge into the United States senate. The party local organization was in the hands of per sons unfriendly to him and he would not have had the faintest chance to get the nomination under the con vention system. Another objection made to the di rect primary is that it tends to de stroy party organization, making party discipline Impossible, and there fore is subversive of the whole theory of government through political parties. A man who has got his franchise to public office through di rect appeal to the people in the party primary is not subject to party dis cipline. President Harding, in his speech to the women voters of New Jersey the other day, made a naive admission. He said: I presume you have had some dis appointments. I presume the party has had. I have had some myself. Political parties cannot always do all they promise to do. That may seem strange but it is absolutely true. It has not been possible to do everything that the party In which you and I are associated hoped to do when we came into power. The reason for this inability to live up to party promises that Mr. Hard ing complains of is largely the direct primary. Although Mr. Harding's party has a great majority in the house and senate, he is unable to put the party platform through be cause he has nothing with which to threaten those republican members who choose to defy Mr. Harding and the party leaders. They owe no par ticular allegiance to the party lead ers or to the party organization. The chief defect in the direct pri mary, applied universally, is that it is not equally well adapted to all states and all communities. The ai rect primary i probably best adapted to communities like the state in I which it started, namely, Oregon. Ore gon is In population a relatively small state with a markedly high average of intelligence and a homogenous people. In such a state it is pos sible for the individual voter to have some knowledge of all the candidates for each office, and that knowledge, when diffused among the kind of population Oregon has, can be de pended on to give fairly good results in the primary. In states with as large a popula tion as New York the case is quite different. It is practically impossible for all or even any considerable por tion of the people of the state to have Adequate information about all the candidates, and equally impossible for any one candidate to make himself known to all the people of the state within the time limit of an ordinary primary campaign. Furthermore, a state like New York which contains a large city, is apt to have a con siderable element of population which, -,n a political sense, is more or less fungus. The large mass of foreign born voters in New York city is not as well adapted to function intelli gently for the public good through the machinery of the direct primary as in a state like Oregon. SCHOONER HAS MISHAP (Continued From Flrrt Page.) Seiberling-Lucas company and the concert will include an excellent rep ertoire of Hawaiian music During the second hour, from 9 to 10 o'clock, another solo concert will be given as a sequel to the first solo programme last Wednesday night. In this four artists will take part and the selections will include piano and violin and vocal solos. Those who will participate in the solo programme are Winnifred Campbell, soprano, whose Blnglng last Wednesday night was pronounced a real triumph; Miss Dorothea Ander son, pianist; Miss Kathleen Jordan, violinist, and Elbert L. Bellows, ro bust tenor. The evening concerts for the week will be finished by the reg ular Friday night dance programme by George Olsen's Portland hotel orchestra. The Olsen programmes of dance music have become an institution for radio fans. George Olsen, the director and man ager, underwent a minor operation last week and is at present in St. Vincent's hospital, but will be back with his band of musicians for the next concert. While in the hospital Mr. Olsen had a small radio receiving set installed at his bedside and on Friday night listened to the concert by his own orchestra while election returns were being sent out RADIO PROGRAMME NOVELTY Walla Walla .

Having spent five months in his campaign to defeat Senator New for the republican nom ination, he must now spend another five months in a campaign to defeat the democratic nominee.

Second in importance only to the pioneer case by which the water rights on Ahtanum creek were ad judicated, a decision has been handed down by Judge ueorge is. iomen oi the Takima superior court apportion ing permanently the rights of land owners in the waters of Cowiche creek. Additional interest attaches to this decision because of the fact that some of the lands involved, in it were settled early in the history of white settlers here. One of the tracts is the ranch of the late A. J. Splawn, one of the earliest pioneers in Yakima valley. Judge Holden's decision follows, generally, the precedent set in the earlier water right rulings here; but is made under the new state law gov erning irrigation water rights. Mad Coyote Is Killed.
