(Special Cable.) The Poincare ministry has entered upon its decline. The only question now la whether the premier will pre fer to drag along through The Hague conference or yield his power before the reaction against him sets in in earnest. This week's events caught the gov ernment in a dilemma. Germany's "acceptance" of the reparations com mission's demands officially is ac knowledged to be entirely unsatisfac tory and yet it has been swallowed by the Quai D'Orsay. It simply means Germany will pay if she can borrow the wherewithal otherwise not. Poincare's acceptance of this proposi tion amounts to an acknowledgment that he believes Germany cannot pay with her own resources, and this is virtual indorsement of Keyne's thesis lately adopted by Lloyd George. Chamber Is Melancholy. Thus Poincare, the hope of the strongest group, has gone the way of his predecessors, Millerand, Leygues and Briand, ' and is forced to admit that money cannot be wrung from Germany b(y anything short of mili tary force.' From all indications the majority of the chamber has reached the same melancholy conclusion. This signifies that Poincare and what he supposedly stands for have become useless and so logic demands that s. new government be established. Poincare has been in office five months and can have two or three more inglorious months should he so desire, but he probably won't. Pres ent conditions point to Barthou as his successor. He is a man much on the Poincare type but decidedly more flexible and has the advantage of long association with the liberals of the "left." It will be recalled that he torpedoed 'the Briand cabinet when Briand was at Cannes by calling the cabinet to ' gether and drafting a strong remon- tnen premier auu Ajiuyu uwiga weia working out. For this he and certain the Poincare cabinet. Barthou is not noted for hts political fidelity and it was commonly said that Poincare sent him to Genoa to prevent him doing mischief at home. At any rate, Poin care never gave him plenary powers but reserved a veto over him and ex ercised it almost daily.

But there is little satisfaction here with France's part at Genoa and Poincare is blamed more than Barthou, who followed orders "given from hour to hour over the pri vate wire which linked the French delegation with the Quai D'Orsay. French politics are in a state of un certainty due to the drift toward lib eral and pacifist views, indicated in the recent local elections. The pres ent chamber was elected in a period of patriotic hysteria immediately after the war, but in view of the un mistakable reconsolidation of radical opposition members are beginning to trim their sails and prepare for the 1924 elections. The next ministry will lean heavily on the left of the chain ber and will follow Briand's policy. EDITORS TO GUARD GREAT PROFESSID National Organization Has Many Objects in View. SCOPE IS FAR-REACHING Circuit Tribunal at Pendleton ' Is Scene of Unusual Ceremony Under Legion Auspices PENDLETON, Or., June 3.

June 3 (Special.) J.-P. Preston, inspector in the office of the chief forester at Washington, D. C was in Eugene yesterday on his way to Klamath county, where he will inspect the pine beetle-infested area anions: th forests. Congress recently appropriated 1150.000 with which to . co-operate with private timberland owners in checking: the insect. Mr. Preston said that during tne last ten years, the estimates show, 10 per cent of the timber in that dis trict has either been ruined or badly damaged by the beetle. He said that the government and tim-oer owners did not expect to eradicate the insect with the comparatively small amount of money available, but that its rav ages could be greatly curtailed. The only way to kill the bugs, -he said, is to fell and burn the infested trees. Edgar B. Piper of The Oregonian Elected Vice-President of So ciety Recently Formed. GRAIN RATES TO BE CUT ureat jorinern oraerea to iteauce Tariff on Oroviile Branch. OLTMPIA. Wash.. June 3. (Spe e'al.) Reduction in freight rates on grain from Molson and other points on the Oroviile branch of the Great N rthern railway to Puget sound terminals, was ordered by the depart ment of public works today, with the recommendation that rates from the same points to Spokane be maintained on a parity with the Puget sound rates to give the grain growers ac cess to either market on the same basis. The reductions ordered by the department are made effective on or before July 2. The Molson Community club and the North Pacific Millers' association brought the action before the depart ment. asking that the rates be re-. duced. At that time the rate on wheat and wheat products from Mol son to Seattle and Tacoma was 33 cents, as against a 2-cent rate from Spokane to the same points. While the case was in progress the railroads made a reduction of 10 per cent, which left the Molson rate at 30 cents and the Spokane rate at 24 cents. The department reduces the Molson rate to 27 cents, with corresponding re eductions from all other points on the oroviile branch.

The new American Society of Newspaper Edi tors' that has been launched by di recting editors of more than fifty of the leading newspapers of the coun try is to meet a need for a national organization of the executive edi tors of metropolitan newspapers, ac cording to an explanation of its pur poses by its president; Casper S. Tost of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat "We editors most of us, at any rate," said Mr. Yost, "have not realized, or have only vaguely real ized, that we are members of a great and honorable profession which has common interests as well as indi vidual interests. We could not act collectively because we had no means of collective action. . Purposes Are Many. . "To visualize newspaper ideals; to set standards of newspaper conduct which shall not affect that individual independence that is. essential to newspaper personality, but which may arouse generous emulation for newspaper progress; to promote the dignity and honor of our profession; to maintain its integrity and its rights and defend it from unjust at tacks; to establish ethical princi ples whose recognition and observ ance will contribute to that public confidence which is a newspaper's best asset; to promote the efficiency of our labors through the interchange of experience and the discussion by which common problems of editorial management may be solved all these are purposes to which such an or ganization as we have created can direct its efforts, and in their accom plishment be of great and lasting value to all of us as members of a big profession, of material benefit to the individual newspapers which serve, and increased usefulness for the press . as an institution for the promotion of public welfare." Describing most metropolitan news paper editors as "anonymous crea tures" seldom heard of outside., of their own offices, Mr. Tost said they needed to get better acquainted with one another. Organization of the society was ef fected in New York, April 25, at I meeting in response to a call issued by Edward S. Beck of the Chicago Tribune, Frank I. Cobb of the New York Herald, Charles H. Dennis of the Chicago News, Herbert R. Gait of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, Joseph Garretson of the Cincinnati Times Star, Erie C. Hopwood of the Cleve land Plain Dealer, George E. Miller of the Detroit News and Casper S. Tost of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 'Ours," said this call, is a great and honorable profession, yet,, curiously, it is the only important profession not nationally organized." The exis tence and valuable work of the Na tional Editorial association was rec ognized, but this organization, it was stated, did not include the larger city newspapers. . Constitution Is Adopted. The constitution adopted at the meeting in New York declares that it is not the purpose of this society to take from its members one par ticle of independence of dBitorial ac tion. ' It is not to be the instru ment of any individual, group or in terest. It must have no friends to reward and no enemies to punish." The response to this call was re markable for the unanimity of In terest and sympathy expressed by the editors of nearly every important newspaper in the country, according to Mr. Tost. Besides those news papers represented at the New York meeting assurances of co-operation came from editors of about 40 other leading dailies. Those at the meeting were in hearty accord with the ex pressed purposes of the organization and every one signed up as a charter member of it. - - The constitution unanimously adopted provided for the .election, by the members of a board of directors of II members, who should in turn elect the officers from their own number. The following directors were elected for the first year: E. C Hopwood, Cleveland Plain Dealer; E. S. Beck, Ch'cago Tribune; Geofge E. Miller, Detroit News; Frank J, Cobb. New York World; H. R. Gait. St. Paul Pioneer-Press; Joseph. Gar retson, Cincinnati Times-Star; Carr Van Anda, New Y6rk Times; Casper S Yost, St Louis Globe-Democrat; John J. Spurgeon, Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger; Edgar p. Piper. Portland Oregonian; Arthur Krock, Louisville Times and Courior-Journal. This board of directors elected Casper S. Yost of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat president; Frank L Cobb of the New York World, first vice-president; Ed gar B. Piper of The Portland Orego nian, second viee-president; Erie C Hopwood of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, secretary, and E. S. Beck of the Chicago Tribune, treasurer. Seven Districts Made. The board also divided the country into seven districts and appointed a regional governor for each district as follows: Northeastern, James T. Williams of the Boston Transcript; eastern, Herbert Bayard Swope of the New York World; southern, John S. Cohen of the Atlanta Journal; Cen tral, E. S. Bross of the Indianapolis Star; southwestern, George Bailey of the Houston Post; western, H. E. Newbranch of the Omaha , World- Herald, and Pacific, C. S. Stanton of the San Francisco Examiner. Membership In the American So ciety of Newspaper Editors is re stricted ordinarily to the directing editors of daily newspapers in cities of 100,000 population or over, but the board of directors is empowered with authority to admit editors of daily newspapers having the interests and qualities of metropolitan papers in cities of less than 100,000 popula tion, and also to admit to member ship newspaper men who are not di-. recting editors, but who have dis tinguished themselves by "notable contributions to the public service or to the profession of journalism." The "kerm "directing editors" includes "editors-in-chief, editorial editors and managing editors having immediate charge of editorial and news poli cies." , , - "We editors," said Mr. Yost to a representative of the Associated Press, "have been absorbed in our in dividual labors. "Each one of us works ardently for the advancement of his newspaper. Why can we not work as ardently together for the advancement of our profession, which means reflectively the -betterment of each of our newspapers?" mm k3 .

' THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C June 3. Repre sentative John W. Summers of Wash ington made an extended speech in the house this afternoon and showed by means of charts what the building of reclamation projects in the weBt means in developing new markets for the eastern manufacturers. He cited figures to show that in one year the Boise project received 674 cars of manufactured products from the east and he traced cars to their source, proving that many eastern cities whose representatives in congress are now indifferent to the reclamation programme benefited from this trade. As a further example of . the pur chasing power of such projects he said that on, the Takima project In Washington In 1919 and lszv com modities bought, from eastern manu facturers and producers aggregated the huge sum of 534.000,000. Speaking for the Columbia basin project he said it included 1,750,000 acres of land subject to irrigation and that when reclaimed it would be the ereatest irrigation project in the world. He quoted General George W. Goethals, builder of the Panama ca nal, as saying that the coiumDia basin project is feasible and when completed would be worth more to the United States than the Panama canal.
