6 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, DECEMBER 3, 1022 liO III AFFAIRS OF WORLD URGED America's Help Needed, Declares Tiger. In the morning. He will ut 9 o clock mond, Ind arrive in Baltimore abo Monday morning. PLEA WELL RECEIVED C. S. Re-entry in Europe's Deals, Whether in League or oh Other Basis, Advocated. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Re-entry of Amer ica into European affairs, either as a member of the league of nations or on some otlier basis, was urged today by Georges Clemenceau, war premier of France, in the fourth of his series of addresses in this coun try, delivered at the Odeon before a capacity audience that applauded him roundly at frequent intervals. The Tiger, summarizing what he thought he had accomplished so far on his tour of America, declared he believed he had convinced the coun try that France was not militaristic nor imperialistic and that she had every intention of paying her debt to the United States. Arguments Are Repeated. Just to make sure, however, he repeated arguments bearing on these points before he launched into the subject of American participa tion in old world affairs the point, he said, that he has been most fre quently advised he will not be able to get across. In the midst of his discussion of militarism, he reiterated the state ment that America showed certain signs of militarism herself and launched into , a criticism of her naval policy. "I do not intend to interfere in your policy," he said. . ''However, I think I have the right to say that sometimes you were very much in clined toward the development of our military establishments. Enelixh Army Increased. "You have the best frontiers in the world. They cannot be better. But the other day you said you could not leave one unprotected un less you had 600,000 tons of war ships. That may be. I will give you a million tons if you want it. It is a way of spending and wasting your money which is, of course, at your disposition. I do not believe very much in capital warships now, because there are submarines and airplanes which make warships no longer capital. "England has increased her mili tary power 19 per cent' he con tinued, "and Japan 71 per cent. Wei', we . Ill see. I doubt whether I will see the effect of this, but It may be the privilege of some of you. We will see what may com? cut of it." l'nrt In World Game tlrged. Plunging then into his appeal for America to resume an active ro'.e in Kurope, Clemenceau reiterated the possibility of America's entrance into the war and her part in mak ing peace. He was interrupted by a long wave of applause when he men lined Woodrow Wilson and his "14 points," on which he declared the peace waB based. "What were these 14 points for?" he continued. "Pledgings set forth before all humankind. Your Dec laration of Independence said 'equal rights, pursuit of happiness for every man, liberty." That was beautiful for them to fight for in 1776. It came from America to Europe again and you may be proud that this arm istice and treaty had at its front the 14 points, which were nothing but the translation of the Declaration of Independence. Some Held Very Selfish. "It seems to me some are very selfish. They say we will make our home comfortable. We will build walls; we will not admit strangers, and we will live there and be happy. Tou did not say that in '76. "There is a tale In an Arabian book of a genii in a bottle and when it is out, you cannot make him get in. Tour case is just the other way. You are the genii in the bottle and do not want to come out. I call you, by the bottle." He reiterated that the Monroe doctrino had been outgrown by America, adding "you have grown faster, allowing me to say, than your ideals. You are a very complacent people." America, he continued, owed It to Europe to help enforce the terms of the Versailles treaty, because she had so large a hand in the making of its terms, and because its terms, particularly those referring to rep arations and disarmament, were being flouted by Germany. Coming finally to the league of nations, he said: War Prevention Doubted. "I do not believe in a society of nations as a way to suppress war, at least now. When man has pro gressed more and more I hope it will be. But I do not object to the best being attempted to get even the least which is sometimes worth counting. "That society of nations exists there somewhere in Genoa. It al ready has done good, it has done something in the case of Austria. I say if you think fit to come, you come. You will be well received, and we will work, French, British and Americans, together. That is my programme. Ytfu know small beginnings may have great endings. If you choose to get into the family of the society of nations that is your business; but, under the situa tion, I dare say that you will be obliged to come some way or other ;nd you had better take care that it won't be too late." The warmth with which the Tiger's message was received, was in marked contrast to the recep tion he got in the long parade through downtown St. Louis on his way to the Odeon. Demonatratlona Are Sporadic. The crowds were large, but dem onstrations were sporadic This was due In part, perhaps, to the fact that the Tiger was so surrounded in his automobile by plain clothesmen tnat many failed to recognize him. Lavish police protection had been provided because of the receipt by local authorities of letters threaten ing his life. But the nearest ap proach to hostility that developed was when a curious fat urchin of 11 slipped through the police lines and trudged for some distance beside Clemenceau s car. He carried bundle under his arm, but instead of a bomb it turned out to contain only a pair of shoes. The plain clothesmen shooed him away, however, as soon as his pres ence was- detected. Clemer.ceau left shortly before midnight on a special train for Bal tinaore. He was scheduled to make a five-minutes' speech to members 4666 CARS ARE ORDERED Southern Pacific Authorizes Pas senger and Freight Carriers. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2.

DRY ISSUE FOCUS OF CAPITAL'S EYES All Parties Agree on Need to Enforce Law. HARDING MAKES APPEAL I. W. W. SUSPECTS JAILED Alleged Organizer Caught at As toria Handing Out Literature. ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 2.-(Spepial,) Carl E. Goffin and Oscar Japp, two alleged I.: W. W. organizers, were arrested todav by Sheriff filusher and Deputy Dethridige.

A larg quantity of I. W. "W. literature was found in the possession of the prisoners and Japp had a letter signed by C. S. Smith of Portland, stating among other things that a conference is to be held in that city on December 27 to organize for the "spr'ng activ ities." Japp was urged to be present. FORGER ESCAPES CHARGE Aged Woman 3Iortgages Home to Cover Shortages of Son. VANCOUVER, Wash., Dec. 2. (Special.) Because his aged mother has mortgaged her home here to make good his shortages, Jack Heath, 28, will not be arrested on a forgery charge. Heath is alleged to have passed forged checks totaling several hundred dollars on local mer chants. The warrant was issued several days ago but Heath had dis appeared, leaving a wife and two children in Vancouver.

Prohibition Is Made Non-Partisan Question, With Both Par ties Debating Stand. BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN. (Copyright, 1022, by The Oreonian.) WASHINGTON, D. C . Dec. 2. (Special.) The question Of prohi bition has pushed from the center of the. stage in the nation's capital all impend'ng problems of legisla tion and government. Here in the national capital it is even more of an issue than any where else in the country. The ad ministration has decreed there shall be no further winking at violations of the law. The Anti-Saloon league and all organizations whose life depends on maintenance of the lat est amendment to the constitution agree. Singular to relate, so do all of the foes of prohibition. Agents of. the various organizations whose mission in life is to promote the return of light wines and beer because no matter what fanatics say that is as far an anti-prohibition ever will get concessions in America also demand enforcement of the law as It stands. So it would Beem that all of the anti and pro organizations were agreed for the first time in our history, the first because they expect enforcement to compel revision, and the Iattter be cause they hold the law "O. K.M Issue Is Acute. The issue is even more acute be cause of this fact. There is a growing belief in many quarters that absolute enforcement will af fect the voters who have neither wealth nor supplies of intoxicants on hand. And there also is the desire in national legislative quar ters that the question of enforce ment will be relegated back to the states. Because of this it appears that a crisis may be precipitated at any moment in either the senate or the house which will force a showdown before the next national compaign shall open. Of course liquor will be the real Issue when the next national con gress meets. Whether prohibition will be made a party platform plan depends upon what transpires here in Washington. There is only one certainty, and that is that prohibition today is the most non-partisan problem ever developed here. There is no possi bility of agreement, in either the democratic or republican member ship. All want to dodge and up to the present they have success fully done so. The cabinet has held various sessions and discussed regu lation and enforcement. There waB developed a distinct difference of opinion among the members not on the law but on whether it is pos sible to-i enforce it President Makes Appeal. ' That difference still exists. Since then there have come appeals from President Harding to "law-abiding citizens that they quit buying boot leg or other whisky and assist in enforcing the law." The response has been well, the best suggestion along that line is the action of the attorney-general in-directing all of his assistants throughout the coun try to "co-operate and enforce the law. j ; This attitude today is1 reflected in congress. When the regular session opens Monday the members expect President Harding to deal with the prohibition law without gloves. He will be expected to sug gest amendatory legislation if he thinks it is needed or else to ad mit that the law is failing of its objective. Nobody knows whether he will or will not do so. The Annapolis situation has re sulted in trouble here in Washing ton. Secretary of the Navy Denby has taken it upon himself to de nounce in unqualified terms all of the members of the various classes at the naval academy and their officers for what he believes were "disgraceful" scenes, at the conclu sion of the recent army and navy football game at Philadelphia. The friends of the navy tak. sharp issue w'th the position of the sec retary and they are suggesting that possibly a mistake was made. Police Release Liquor. In thiB connection they suggest a recent happening here. A Wash ington policeman stopped a truck moving through the streets filled with liquor openly advertised by the labels on the boxes and held seemingly to disdain by the driver. He ordered the truck and its cargo taken around to the station house. When this was done the driver was asked what about it. He said: "I brought, this from Baltimore to the embassy. They know it is here. Call them up and ask Three Aspire to Be Justice. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Dec. 2. (Special.) Mrs. L. B. Hamue, Robert Emmitt and William Marx are appli cants for appointment of justice of the peace for Klamath Falls town ship when the place is rendered va cant Jnnuary 1 by the resignation of Judge L.

The embassy In sisted that this was their agent or at least this was what was stated over the telephone and the load was released. The policeman who made the arrest was not satisfied. He went that night to the embassy and asked whether it was all right. They denied knowledge of any ship ment. But that same night, this liquor or some that bore the same labels and identification marks, was on sale here in Washington. Embaasie Get Ll.nor. There is a steamer coming into an Atlantic port within the next week. It brings an enormous cargo of im ported liquors consigned to two embassies and three legations. Boot leggers here in Washington are taking orders for that cargo. They Will not get a single bottle of it, of course. But they will sting their customers from 112 to $18 a quart in the belief that they have the real goods. Simple enforcements cost very much money. That is so even when no -trial is had. And when the case moves along with the slow mo mentum of the courts, it becomes even more costly. That is why the showdown must come. Congress will have to decide whether the cost is worth the effort, and, if so, whether it will not also be necessary to place additional pen alties on those who disregard the law.
