Washington. May 20. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THi. JOURNAL.)
Senator Hollis, conducting the fight
for confirmation of George Rublee as
member of the federal trade commis
sion, hopes for a favorable vote when
the nomination comes up on reconsid
eration Tuesday.
The result is so close it may depend
ou Senator Cumins, who is . expected
from his Oregon campaigning tour In
time for the vote. No certainty exists
as to his attitude, but it is thought
ia Is likely to ally himself with Ken
yon and other Progressive Republicans,
who. voted to confirm. The effort to
change the position of the 14 Demo
crats who voted against Rublee Is re
ported successful in one Instance only.
The others maintain Rublee's position
on price fixing and the obligations of
senatorial courtesy require his rejec
tion. . There is also some resentment
expressed that Norman 1 Hapgood and
others hsve been "lobbying for him.

Senator Chamberlain's View of
Situation Shared by All Ex
cept Rep. Hawley.
Washington.. May 20. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL. )
"Until the navy department comes to
congress with a statement that new
naval bases are needed, effort put
forth for a Columbia river base is so
much wasted energy," said - Senator
Chamberlain today, when told of crit
icism made of the Oregon delegation
by F. C. JJarley, chairman of the As
toria naval base committee.
"I have no controversy with Mr.
Harley; I only state facts," said the
senator. "The delegation has pre
sented the-matter to Secretary Daniels
with Harley and the situation is plain
enough. The secretary told us no new
navy yards are to be recommended at
this time. As far as he could go would
be to have experts inspect locations,
so the department will have full in
formation later on. Trying to secure
a base on the Columbia at the present
time is like butting our heads against
a stonewaiL"
Kawley Has Some Hope.
Chamberlain's view is shared by
other members of the delegation, ex
cept that Representative Hawley -has
held out hope that "some progress can
be made." It is known that Senator
Tillman, chairman of the .naval af
fairs committee in the senate, ' was
averse to even granting a hearing.
"What's the use of it." he aaid. He
took the position that time should
not be consumed over an impossibility.
Senator Swan son, who ranks next on
the committee, gave his influence for
a hearing as a matter of courtesy to
the Oregon senators.
Secretary Daniels has repeatedly
made his position clear. He will
recommend no new navy yards, being
iuiiy occupied now on other phases ot
naval policy. He does favor two sub
marine bases on the Pacific coast.
and one of these can likely be had for
the Columbia lx an effort is turned In
in i a i recti on. The submarine base
can be expanded to the complete nayy
yard when the time arrives.
Insistence Zs Untimely.
Surprise is expressed here in offi
cial circles over the continued agitation
for a navy base after the policy has
been so explicitly stated to Harley
and any Oregon member's attempt to
force forward a bill for locating a base
at a particular location when the re
sponsible officials decline to recom
mend anew base anywhere Is regarded
as a. mistaken effort. The chances
weret notr increased :,Hjy the- bellicose
manner of Harley ;iasome Interviews
Senator Lane round difficulty In ar
ranging for a hearing for Harley. but
it is understood he will have - permis
sion to appear tha last of this month.
'A' hearing is as far as the matter can
go, unless an. effort be "directed to
submarine base.
Coast Artillery Is
Wanted by Funston
Present - Torces Inadequate to Guard
Xexlcam Border, Says General; Kill.
tia Has Proven a Disappointment.
San Antonio, Texas, May 20. (U.
P.) General Funston this afternoon
wired the war department requesting
additional coast artillery to patrol the
Big Bend border. Though both
columns of the Marathon expedition
are hurrying out of Mexico and the
main expedition was reported to have
begun a gradual withdrawal toward
Columbus, Funston declared his forces
are inadequate to thoroughly guard
the 2.200 mile line.
Physical disability and refusal to
take the federal oath have released
many militiamen from duty.
Funston also asked the war depart
ment for additional motor trucks to
be sent to Nogales, Arizona, to trans
port troops and supplies along the
border.
Colonel Sibley, commanding the
Marathon expedition, is 40 miles be
low the border, and Major vLanghorne
and his column 125 miles in Mexico.
Sibley wired Funston today that both
columns are withdrawing and that he
expects Langhornt's command to reach
the international line by the end of
May.

Three great, distinctive acts came from
the last congress, in the federal, re
serve act, the federal trade commis
sion and the revision of the tariff. The
present congress, it is believed, will
present st least three otherg marking
great steps In the program of progress
to which Woodrow Wilson was comi-
mltted when be csme to the presidency,
These-three sre a rural credits act.
the . reestabllshment of the merchant
marine, and the general leasing and
water power bills for development of
the western resources. All three of
these are measures that have been dl-
cussed and debated for years, but un
der previous administrations never
came to the point of fru! t fulness. '

trades commission is getting fairly un
der way In Its work of making a com
prehensive survey of business and Wip

vision of the tariff gave relief .from
the exactions of the Psyne-Aldrlch
act. The rural credits plan will ex
tend credit to the farmers on a rea
sonable basis. The shipping act' will
put American ships upon the seas. The

The administration leaders believe
the country Is progressive, and Is keen
iy alive to the constructive work -that
is being done. -When the national con
ventions meet next month they Will
present this record of performance as
a refutation of what had often been
predicted as to the incapacity of a m
Democratic president and congress to
work together. M'Y
The fact that President Wilsons In
slstence for these reforms has brought
them about Is what makes the presi
dent so Incontestlbly the leader of his
party. It is also the fact that maks
him stronger than his party in the
calculations of the leaders of all par
ties.
Preparedness Will BTot Bother; .
Agreement upon the army reorgani
sation bill removes any serious danger
of conflict concerning prepsredness at
the St. Louis convention. The confer:
ence committee did what has been pro--dieted
in these dispatches sine the
session began. It has worked out a
compromise that satisfies all but the
extremists. It unquestionably strength
ens the position of the party in power,
and many obsei ers here believe that '
preparedness will not be on a front
seat during the campaign. 1 '
There will be those who will want
to "reopen the question, but for all;
practlcaij?urposes the question Will ,
have been settled, and the purpose fof :
which President Wllson.went before the;
country will have been accomplished
by putting the nation In a better state
of defense, but without turning "the
country over to the alarmists or, ;the
