SOLIDARITY ONLY HAVEN Tardieu Declares Complete Res toration of Aims of Entente Can Forestall Disaster. BT ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commissioner to , the United States. (Copyright, 1922, by The Oregonian.) (Lloyd George, a man. has gone but the facts remain, and no change In premiershlps can prevent their remain ing, M. Tardieu points out, and in his opinion only complete restoration of the aims of the entente can remedy the present dangerous situation in which certain French papers are openly advo cating alliances with Turkey and Rus sia. The time seems ripe for the most fantastic stupidity, he adds.) PARIS, Oct. 21. (Special Cable.) ijioyu oeorge nas aisappeareu. j i man has gone, but the facts remain. Bonar Law's foreign policy cannot prevent their remaining. Only the restoration of the en tente, with complete understanding and co-operation, can mend matters. I fear that Premier Poincare will continue to fail to comprehend this. That is the outstanding develop ment in the latest British ministe rial crisis. The situation in Europe is no more serious than it was. But it already was dangerous enough. Quarrels Isolate America. The news of the week from Amer ica, furthermore, confirms what re cent events have foreshadowed; namely, that the quarrels of the European allies have reinforced the determination of the United States to stand apart from them. Many Frenchmen do not compre hend this. Many will say: "France should play America against England." Such persons are astounded when they read certain American news paper articles, especially those which point out that so long as France and England continue to quarrel American cannot interest herself in them. Europe Has No Future, I am not a pessimist, but I do not eee any way out of Europe's pres ent difficulties. Poincare has re plied to Lloyd George's Manchester speech, thus continuing politics at the expense of the people. Lloyd George accused Poincare of quitting him in the orient, while Poincare has reproached Lloyd George for quitting him -in the Occident. To add to the complexities of the situa tion comes the resignation of Lloyd George as premier. . What the effect of the reorgan ization of the British government will be on Anglo-French relations cannot at this moment be forecast. French Policies "Wavering. As a result of the exchanges on policy between France and England the situation, insofar as the repara tions are concerned, is back where it was last August, when an agree ment could not be reached. The result is that French policies now are showing strong waverings. . Some French newspapers are ad vocating friendship with Kemal and others with Trotzky, basing this latter suggestion on the trip of Herriot to Moscow and of Bouillon to Smyrna. Even if this would mean an upsetting of the present alliances and the entente cordiale some would not care. The sterility of the Franco-British negotiations has prepared the way for the most dangerous of dreams. Crisis Ripe for Stupidity. In short, while I hope the stupid ities will not be committed, I must confess that we seem ripe now for the most fantastic stupidity. I re peat, for three years Europe has not had law or doctrine. If the United States, after refus ing to ratify the treaty of Ver sailles, does not interest herself in its application it is only a natural development, and while we may dis cuss the moral responsibilities of that country her legaV lack of re sponsibility is beyond blame. On the other hand, the European na tions which signed and now refuse to apply the principles, whether in the east or the west, are responsible for intellectual and moral disorder everywhere. Situation Summed t'p. Henri Rochefort's proposed con stitution when the empire fell "article 1. no law exists: article 2 nobody is charged with enforcing said laws was not more applica ble than when England at Genoa or els where said: . . , "There is more .vanquished." When France says the same in Turkey's behalf, England complains. if everybody makes the same mis take everybody will pay the price. I have only one word to add: I wish I were mistaken, but I fear that I am right. WASHINGTON, DC., Oct. 21. Elbert Francis - Baldwin of New Tork, one of the direc tors of the American Forestry asso ciation, makes: a graphic, report qf his recent visit to the king of. -Italy, -when he formally presented 5,000, 000 Douglas fir seeds for the re habiliation of Italy's forest destroyed during the war. The seeds were the gift of Charles Lathrop Pack of the association. "One minute after I met King Victor Emanuel" writes Mr. Bald win, "I forgot that I was talking to a king. Ho seemed a forestry ex port, pure and simple. It had taken two months' hard work to obtain, through our embassy, an audience with his majesty. But it was worth while, if for nothing more than to discover that, learned and exper ienced in many a department of sciertce and government, Victor Emanuel was also up in forestry, l oans Prince. Plants Trees. "As a boy, he would plant young trees at his father's country places and rise at 4 o'clock in the morning to water the trees properly himself and not merely see that it was done. In my own place, outside the city," the king said, "I have guwn foreign trees and I want to see how the Douglas firs will do there.' He told me of his success with various trees and of his desire to extend the quantity and "quality of tree, growing. "Italy's chief occupation is agri culture and the king is intensely in terested in all things agricultural. "As with all Italians, bo Victor Emanuel's great regret is, as he said to me, the country's lack of raw ma terials. The American gift being in the line of raw materials, is there fore especially welcome to king nnd people. It should extend Italy's for est resources, it should ultimately add to her food supply, It should equalize the flow of brooks and rivers. In conferring these benefits on a foreign country, as his majesty pointed out, the American Forestry association is more than American; it has become international and its work is a model to the rest of the world. - .: : "Its duplicate in Italy would be very advantageous,' fthe king added, 'in awakening Italians to the nec essity of forestation. Our forest area is pitifully small.' he said, 'if you compare its proportion to our total area with the proportion in France, Switzerland, Austria. Czechoslova kia. Our people need Just such a stimulus as the American Forestry association is giving yours.' "The chief .query in the king's mind seemed to be whether the seed would germinate in a fairly dry 'soil and most of Italy is pibtty dry. Tes,' he concluded, 'the great dif ficulty. I think, will be the drought. Tou must have noticed it. Just now we need rain very much. Yet, de spite frequent clouds, we have had only a few drops of rain in a long time. I do not suppose, however', that the Douglas fir is as dependent on moisture as are some trees. I certainly hope that it will thrive fairly well n our soil and where the conditions of our hill-slopes are similar,to those, in your states, will be as good a grower as it is there." Roosevelt Is Recalled. "We talked of Theoaore Roose velt, of the Genoa conference and ot the Italians in America. But the royal forestry expert went back to the Douglas fir. Personally, -a thorough-going man, no matter what particular subject he attacked; Vic tor Emanuel, politically is equally notable, because he is one of the most democratic rulers in Europe. "One day at Genoa the king enter tained at lunch all the delegates to the international conference. Tchltcherin and Krassin, the soviet delegates had to be invited too. As they were presented to his majesty, he simply said, 'Xe ho piacere' (Pleased to meet you). This very conventional phrase, however: so im pressed Tchltcherin that when he was asked what he thought of the king, he replied, 'Think! Why, if we had him in Russia, he might be president of all the Soviets." " League of Nations Cloaks Financial Conspiracy. STRICKEN COUNTRY PREY PARTY STRIFE IS OPENED (Oont'iufd From First Page.) armament and a huge increase in taxation, which would have been crushing." " Some of his pungent utterances were: "The treaty of Versailles has be come a charter of liberty to tens of millions of people today. Treaty First Act in Drama. "The first clauses of the treaty of Versailles established the league of nations. Although w have not rid Europe of the burdens of arma ments, that treaty is the first act in the great drama of peace. predict that the democracies of other lands will not continue to bear th burdens ,of large armaments when they see central Europe free from that oppression. "It is a great human charter that will be attained more ajid more as the years go by. "The next task we set our hands to was the re-establishment of ma terial national credit. "We are the only people in Eu rope who have completely balanced our budgets. Industrial Peace Brought. "We are beginning to look the dollar in the face, on equal terms. "We have recaptured the money market of the world. Our credit is as good as it ever was, and better. "We have peace throughout the industrial wor.ld. If this situation had not been handled very carefully anything might have happened." Answering a question, he said: "Mr. Bonar Law is still a friend of mine and I should be sorry to say anything that would put an end to that personal friendship. "Mr. Bonar Law has put himself in the position of a horseman who is not holding the reins, but who is holding on by the tail. "War Work Reviewed. 'Governments can win wars and lose wars. What do I mean by that? Governments can make it possible for our gallant soldiers and sailors to win victory. Governments can makeit impossible for the most gallant soldiers and sailors ever to win. The only claim I put forward on behalf of the late government is that it did everything a govern ment could do to enable our soldiers and sailors to win the war. Governments can organize mate rial resources and resources in men. They can organize the nation at home and face and sustain their responsibilities. If there is failure at home it means failure on the battlefield. Losses of morale at home are always reflected on the battlefield. They were closely re lated in the war and stories at home affected the soldiers in the field. 'That is one reason why Germany broke down. Their soldiers were brave. Let us recognize an enemy's courage. But they heard stories of starvation, privation and misery at home. That undermined their spir its and courage. Unity Is Tromoted. 'It was vital for the ministers here to sustain a spirit which would clear the road to victory. I claim this government did everything a government could do for that pur pose. We did our best to promote unity at home and among the forces, so as to enable the full strength of the allies to be concentrated at the right point and at the right moment, and as a matter of fact the leading part in promoting that unity was taken by us. " Mr. Lloyd George declared the resolution forming the basis on which the league of nations was built was moved by the British dele gation at the peace conference, of which he was the head. Mr. Lloyd George said of the Versailles treaty: "It restored Alsace and Lorraine to France. It restored the Italian provinces of North Italy to Italy. These questions, which were a kind of tumo:- in the constitution of Eu rope and a source of irritation and inflammation, were removed. We liberated a number of races which for centuries had been under the rule of the oppressor. ' In central and southern Europe populations which numbered 20,000,000 were freed ly one great act prepared in Paris and signed at Versailles, which has given a charter of freedom to millions of people. . Great Armaments Destroyed. 'We destroyed the 1 great arma ments in central Europe which made the war. Conscription in central Europe Is gone. The greatest source of worry and menace to the country has disappeared the army which stood intimidating us, which dark ened the horizon in Europe like a dense thunder cloud hanging in the air. Everybody was watching to see when, the flash would rend it and destroy Europe and it did. That army has gone." Mr. Lloyd Gejrge then took up the subject of the re-establishment of the national .credit, pointing out that the British were the only peo pie in Europe who had completely balanced their budget. There were two courses open to us. One was to follow the method adopted by every; country on . the continent of Europe to borrow and go on borrowing. It has the ap pearance of prosperity. You can Keep taxation aown. you go on borrowing, but your credit gets lower and lower. It was the popu lar course to go on borrowing. There would have - been less unemploy ment for the time being. t What is the next course a thoroughly unpopular course? Make your patriot pay. One way is by ruthlessly reducing , expenditures. Everybody said cut down expendi tures and when we started on this some one would say we didn't mean to cut that down. There were always those making cheap speeches about economy, but whenever we faced the problem of cutting down some item and got into difficulties with the people int'erested the 'anti-waste' party was never there. "We went on reducing expenditures and balancing our budget. Having no deficiencies what happened? The credit of this country rose and rose. Our sovereign, instead of being $3.20, is now HAT. We are just beginning to look the dollar in the face on equal . terms. We need not bow the head. We are nearly where we ware before the war. That is because our two chancellors of the exchequer. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Robert Home, were men not only of ca pacity, but of real courage. They did unpopular things because they knew It was right. They got the soundest advice and although they had been abused like pickpockets during the whole of these years, they kept on Steadily. The result is that our credit has risen and risen and at the present moment we are recap turing the money markets of the world." . We take Canadian money at full face value in making change. VISIT TO AMERICA IS HOPE Lloyd George Pleased by Invita tion to Slake Tour. LEEDS, England, .Oct. 21.--(By the Associated Press.) David Lloyd George has a keen desire to visit the United States and was pleased to day when he read news dispatches carrying the announcement of Sec retary of Labor Davis that the American Gorzedd. a Welsh society. In ad invited him to make an extended tour. - Owing to the political situation, he cannot make any definite plans now. Fence Around Jail Urged. MBDFORD. Or., Oct. 21. (Special.) The expected sensational report of the grand jury of the October term of circuit court, which went out of existence last night, to be succeeded by a new grand jury to be selected Monday, did not materialize. In its terse final report the grand jury merely recommended that an iron fence eight feet high be put around the county jail for protection and to keep awajs people, and then con tinued as follows: "We also recom mend that the next grand jury in vestigate the Terrell case in regard to the taking of whisky from a bar rel in the county jail, of which the grand jury made an investigation and could not agree. We also rec ommend the further investigation of the alleged Illegal voting. ' . Imther Iieague in Session. THE DALLES, Or., Oct. 2L (Spe cial.)

(Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service.) (Copyright, 1922. by the Chicago Tribune, l VIENNA. Oct. 21. The four-power group masquerading under the title of a "league of nations commission," although the Geneva organization does not possess the slightest juris diction over it, has met the Aus trian officials in an initial confer ence to fasten financial shackles around the stricken nMion. In return for monopolies of to bacco and salt, the collection, of cus toms, a percentage of railway freht rates and revenue from the state forests. Great Britain, France, Italy and" Czecho-Slovakia promise to loan Austria 500,000,000 gold crowns " ($100,000,000) in driblets over a period of two years, accord ing to protocols signed at Geneva last September. Austria to Be Shackled. But Austria must submit to complete-financial control by the four powers, binding it just as tightly as China and Turkey have been fet tered by foreign capitalists, which the Washington conference sought to sever in the case of the former and which Mustapha Kemal Pasha demands be abrogated in the case of the latter.. The socialists insist that Austria can raise sums by internal loans and new taxation, pointing out the colossal wealth of the banks which are gambling on exchange,- but Chancellor Seipel, who is a pro nounced Hapsburg supporter, seeks freedom from parliament, and he has won the support of the Ger manic party favoring merging with Germany. American Bid Rejected. The socialists claim that pour parlers were under .way with an American banking group which would have resulted in an equal sum to be raised without the neces sity of the nation surrendering its sovereign rights to the four pow ers, although the Geneva protocol carefully asserts that Austria's po litical integrity Is guaranteed. Already one result of the Geneva negotiations is the rejection of an' American bid for establishing a powerful wireless station in Vienna for sending dispatches to central Europe and the Balkans. The es tablishment of such a station is the goaU of a British concern. It is pointed out that this would give England an opportunity to control the press wireless and to dissemi nate propaganda from here which would stifle other news. Poland May Subscribe. The protocol provides that Poland may subscribe 10,000,000 gold crowns (J2.000.000), and the social ists ask where is the fundless War saw government to get these funds. Tjey assert that" it is merely an atcempt of British and French capi tal to get additional capital into friendly hands to insure support of their aims. Foreign Minister Grumberger has assured me that the loan is certain. even though the four powers' par liaments have not yet ratified it. 'The scheme will be a great suc cess, for it will rescue Austria from financial ruin and at the end of two years the "country will be rehabili tated," said Mr. Grunberger. w Bank Is Planned. The scheme provides for the es tablishment of a new bank in Jan uary for the handling of Austrian finances and the cessation of print ing new paper money, which is now being ground out at the rate of 660, 000,000,000 paper crowns monthly. Already two quadrillions five hun dred trillions of paper are in circu lation, and the total will reach five quadrillions in January, although there are only 35,000,000 gold crowns ($7,000,000) in reserve.

Jewels of Kins: Phillip Believed Sunk Off Scotland. LONDON. Oct. 2.-The profession of deep sea diving, which any one would classify as a calling par ticularly fitted for men, has been successfully invaded by women. Margaret Naylor, an English girl,, is acclaimed as one of the most I efficient and daring wearers of the helmet in British waters. She has gained a wide reputation during the last two years, and more ! recently for ner efforts in the re- j covery of treasure from the sunken Spanish galleon lying In ten fath-, oms of water near the shore of Mull, an island off Scotland. There, in the . cosy little harbor of Tobermory, and j less than a hundred yards from the beach, lies one of the great treasure aViino of the Soanish armada. The boat was one of the many vessels launched by the ambitious Phillip, in 1588, for his attempted conquest of England. So certain was this monarch that he would add the British isles to his already large domains, that he actu ally sent on his jeweled regalia in advance. It is "believed today that the richly bejeweled crown is lying somewhero in the 60 feet of water among the wreckage of the Admi rante de Florencia, which Miss Nay lor has succeeded in negotiating. Although the task presents many problems which would cause anx iety to divers of the stronger sex, Mfts Naylor show ho fear., She had had one or two narrow escapes from death in the course of her experi ence, without being- in any way de- terred from tackling the risky busi ness again. Miss Naylor recently made a trip to the southern, coast of England and obtained some excellent speci mens of undersea plant life. She nearly lost her life when her feet became entangled in a ladder which she wag using, and only her pres ence of mind enabled her to free herself and be hauled safely to the top. " THIEVES ENTER CHURCH Sacramental Wine Tasted and Collection Box Looted. Thieves who" broke into St. Da vid's Episcopal cnurch Friday night left nothing untouched, from the sacramental wine to the collection for the poor. Rev. Thomas Jen kins, pastor reported to the police yesterday that J1.50 in small change was gone from a collection box and that everything in the vestry had been ransacked. The money and a card punch were the only articles stolen. A few t drinks of the wine, which was heavily diluted, seemed to suffice and the stuff was not carried off. Entrance was gained through a back window. Police, lay it to ma rauding youths. I .. . - mm I Ml!
