ATTACK ON WILSON
BY FOREIGNER HAS
F
AROUSED
RENDS
Mrs.. James Christensen, Prom
inent Texas Club Woman Now
of Portland, Answers Critics.
PLENTY OF ROOM OUTSIDE
No Place in This Country for
Those Who Are Dissatisfied
With American Government.
Much inrensed over what sh declares
Is an unseemly and untimely attack on
fret-Went Wilson fromone who should
not be so d"eply concerned with Ameri
can politics as seems Dr. Arthur Walwyn
Kvans, nephew of the English premier.
I.lcyd George. Mrs. James Christensen.
prominent Texas club woman, who Is
making her home in Portland, scores Dr.
Kvans in a statement to The Journal.
"I have read many criticisms on Mr.
Wilson from all sorts of people, dis
irruntled politicians, all-wise senator,
camouflage! Americans, and even Bol
shevik! agitators, and have tried to pos
pet s my soul in patience," said Mrs.
'hristensen. "but when it comes to. an
i-lucted lOngliBhman having the' ef
frontery to publicly disparage the efforts
of Mr. Wilson and Ins great work for
humanity over there patience ceases lo
U a virtue.
"i wonder who gave Dr. Kvans the
right to voice the opinion of the Ameri
can people? I am not the nephew of any
premtnent man. only an American
mcther. who gladly gave her only son vo
the service of his country, but I feel that
jerfcap my opinion might be worth as
miirh.M any younff Englishman's opin
ion. "I.-deny most emphatically the asser
tion that the American people as a whole
ar not standing by the president, and I
luve no reason to believe that he has lost
the support of either England or France,
Jf-Mr. Wilson were the selfish individ
ual that Dr. Kvans describes, he would
: noz at this time be on the other side
fating the most gigantic task ever un
dertaken by any mortal man. trying to
bring order out of chaos, making a su
preme effort to establish the permanent
peace of the entire world.
"The League of Nations as conceived
by Mr. Wilson may be only a straw, as
Dr. Evans . claims, but the fiber from
which it was constructed is so firm and
resilient that it will ultimately serve as
a foundation to uphold the peace of the
world.
"Mr Wilson has never professed per
fection, but why go about discussing
Ma mistakes at this critical moment?
What shall be said of those who not
' only refuse to help, but insist on getting
In the way and trying to hinder?
"The great menace to the Bafety and
peace of the world is the spirit of greed
and' selfishness, showing itself in every
rart. of the globe. Our own country could
not expect to entirely escape its sin
ister influence. There is Just one rem
edy, and that is for every citizen of the
United States to become so thoroughly
Americanized that adverse criticism of
our government will not be tolerated,
either in public or private places. The
war may be ended In a way, but the in
fluence that brought It about is still
working over time. There is no room in
this country for those who are dissatis
fied with .this form of government, but
the world is a big place and there is
.plenty of room on the outside for peo
ple who are looking for trouble."
Australia Prepares
To Build Tip Trade
With Pacific Coast
- "Australian firms are going to make
a campaign for 'the establishment of
commercial relations with the Pacific
coast In a few months," said Albert
Goldie, commercial representative from
Sydney, Australia, who spoke at the
Portland Chamber of Commerce at the
members forum Monday noon.
. "Wars shifted the commerce of the
world .first from the Persian gulf to the
Mediterranean and then to the Atlantic
ocean and now the greatest war of all
: has shifted the trade of the world to
the Pacific ocean," continued Mr. Goldie,
"and now is the time for the countries
on either, side of the Pacific to capital
ize on this circumstance."
: "Wool is our greatest export and Ore
gon is best suited to take this raw ma
terial and use it in their plants." Mr.
Goldie said that he had commissions
from the Los Angeles Chamber of Com
merce and other ports of the Pacific
coast and urged that Portland get ready,
to take part In this trade.
