Columbia' harbor with the New York
harbor, he hit two members of the
naval committee ; la the most 'effective
possible manner, and the committee
readily agreed that the New York show
ing has nothing on the Columbia. The
members passed ever the Delaware river
comparison in : a way that indicated
their lack of interest In that project .
Emphasis was placed upon the stra
tegic importance 'of the Columbia liver
harbor. 'The report" t the committee
says: -;; -w. -,--' -
The Columbia route is the most vul
nerable for a hostile approach upon the
interior that may be found upon the
Pacific It is the highway of approach
to the v greatest, producing - interior re
gion of the coast. ' -
-"Whatever protection the navy is to
afford the -country argues for giving
the maximum consideration to this en
trance. The population .is scant, so
that a very limited land force could be
mustered to repel an attack.
- The i Columbia and Willamette val
leys are the good-producing regions of
the Northwest. " From 'here go each
year - about 40,000.000 bushels ; of flour
and wheat into foreign trade. A hos

food supply at one blow naturally would

Political parties which the Bolshevists
regard as their "allies in every country
are then listed, Tor America are named
the Socialist Labor party : the left wing
of the Socialist party, partciularly of the
tendency represented by Debs as well as
the tendency represented by the league
of Socialist ' propaganda ; the Industrial
Workers ef the World and the Workers
of the International Industrial union.
..This bold and open program leaves
not the' alightest doubt regarding the
world aims of the Bolahevikt It means
an armed alliance between the Bolshe
vlaite of all countries. Its first fruits are
to be seen In the recent riots In Germany
and In the events in Hungary. The
next few weeks should show whether
the Russians actually mean to fight
their way through East Russia to Ger
many, and through Galtcia and Rou
mania to Hungary so as o toe able to
form a military block wlth their Ger
man and Hungarian friends.
Charles Petersen, secretary of the local,
branch of the Socialist Labor ; party,
was seen at tie headquarters, 246
Washington street, and in regard to the
above dispatch said : "We are not mod
eling after Russia. We In America have
greater constitutional rights than in any
country- on earth, and the Socialist- La
bor1 party, while it has the same general
pbjectfcre, fa not going .to ; adopt, nor
does J it advocate the same - methods
of procedure. In Russia they. ad. abso
lute autocracy and the people of the
country being backward, theyf had to
adopt different methods to attain Indus
trial as well as political democracy; We
hope by. constitutional methods and
peaceful procedure to build up a social,
political and industrial democracy in
America, That is what - they are going
to do or are attempting to do, in Rus
sia. Their methods in the midst of a
revolution for political democracy such
as the American people have gained are
of course much, different from ours. We
are not In sympathy with the X. W. W.,
revolutionists, violence, anarchy or any
of those things.' Wi want the abolition
of autocracy in Industry. We have the
constitutional means at hand whenever
the working class unites to establish it,"

Third M ember Who Got M oney.
A glib, persuasive stranger from San
Francisco who, with siren talk, smack
ing of riches, and a plan which, he said
would - make cnem independently
wealthy, lured them to their undoing.
said Eugene Banich and Joseph Banich,
arrested Thursday in Astoria by Federal
Agent Tom Word for alleged, violation
of the Reed liquor amendment.
Eugene Banich is a receiving clerk
for the Tallant-Grant Packing company.
Joseph Banich, his nephew. Is an em
ploye of the same company.
"You don't want to be counting fish
all your life., said the man from San
Francisco, who gave bis name as W, N.
Korvin, according to the story the pair
told Assistant . United States Attorney
Ooldstein.
"I'll get you good whiskey for $15 a
gallon and you can sell it for 115 a
quart. Think of the profit. A man with
good intelligence as youf have wouldn't
get caught.. .It's only some lummox of
a bootlegger "who doesn't1 know any
better than to sell his liauor to a arum-
shoe sleujth who ia caught.

This, Kovich Is alleged to have said to
Eugene Banich, whodellberated at much
length over his words, then sought the
counsel of bis nephew.
"You let me In on it for half the profit
and I'll stand halt the risk," said Joseph
Banich to his un.c
Korvin wanted $700 cash in advance
for the first shipment of liquor. He
guaranteed to deliver It so thoroughly
camouflaged that even the most shrewd
detective would net know what it was
if opened before his eyes. -
We knew we were not doing exactly
the right thing but his proposition
coerced us so we- couldn't resist and
we handed him $700.M the Banlchs,
unci and nephew, admitted to Attorney
Goldstein.
Korvin smiled his oily smile, rubbed
his smooth chin and in his oleagenous
manner flourished a velvet-lined wallet
and deposited in it many bills,: totaling
$700, hard earned savings of the two
Banlchs. ,

liquor.
The .Banlchs were allowed to m an
their own recognisance, pending the ar
