THE OREGON DAILY -JOURNAL, , PORTLAND, SATURDAY,' SEPTEMBER 6. 1919. SiSlNl TALKS FOR TREATY Audiences Brought to Their Feet Again and Again by Fervid At tacks Directed at Iconoclasts. FIGHTING ATTITUDE ASSUMED Wilson Says Critics Are Unable to Offer, Plan With Chance of Bringing Peace to the World. By David Lawrence En Route to Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 6. -President Wilson did much better at Indianapolis and St. Louis than at Columbus. Not only did his .beeches take better with the crowds but the people seemed to be roused to high pitches of enthusiasm which were totally lacking at the outset. The president bas evidently been ad vised that the people want speeches with a punch in them, for. in both In dianapolis and St. Louis he adopted belligerent tactics for the' fir.st time In his career, and . brought his audience to its feet again and again. FRE8IOKNT IS FIUHTIMJ That is a new thing with AVoodrow Wilson. Usually he depends upon the fiuiet, deliberate proceKes of oratorical persuasion. Today he is changed he is fighting. He is making the fight of his ltfe, and if his speech at St. 'Louis, which seems to have made the best irnpresKion thus far. is an index of what lie plans to do, the public can expect Mr. Wilson to arouse the nation on the Issue of the league to a degree of pas slon and fervor hitherto absent on! either side of the controversy. The president Ih reducing his argu ment to simple statements. His appeal to the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce was especially intended for business men. His' plea to the farmers who gathered from all parts of Indiana was a vivid portrayal of the horrors of an other war.. CRITICS TOLD TO A NSWKR Wilson's, challenge to critics was a I wars. To those who would turn away defiant csdl for a substitute program if from the weak and helpless in Europe, they intend to defeat the proposed the new nations which hitherto have league. His central effort is to show been the pawns of the strong, because that the opponents of the league have i no power interceded In their behalf, Mr. picked flaws here and there but have' Wilson applies the epithet "contempt said nothing of the constructive possi- ible." It is mild language compared bllities of 23 out of the 26 articles of to that which he will probably use the covenant. Briefly, the main trend of Mr. Wilson's argument as now revealed is this: First If the treaty' is not ratified by the United States, Kurope will go ahead without us and the United States will be left out in the cold, discredited and distrusted. AMERICA MIST HELP Second The reparation commission is 'really a group of receivers sitting over the bankrupt assets of Germany. That commission will determine how Ger many shall pay her reparation, where she will buy materials, and how she will get credits. Mr. Wilson says that :Jf only from a practical business point of view, America can not afford"to 3tay out. America's trade and industrial life tre . Interwoven In the economics of Jurope. t Third The president pointed to the Invasion of Belgium as it violation of territorial integrity and says that anyone Who is against Article 10 would forget -Belgium and weak nations. Fourth To the Irish, the president makes an open bid for support by hint- Ing that America can not intrude upon 'England's affair's now, but that under a League of Nations Ireland can get. a hearing and the moral support of the United "States. INTEGHITT SAFEGUARDED Fifth With respect to foreign wars and sending troops across the seas, Mr. Wilson emphasizes that American boys can not be compelled to fight unless the representative ot the United States in ihe league's council so advises, and our representative would be under instruc tions to take no such step without the sanction of congress. 6. Faith in Japan's intention to return 'Shantung to CJiina is expressed with out qualification by the president and to those who do not trust Japan and went to give the territory back to China immediately, Mr. Wilson asks the ques tion : : "How will you take Shantung away WOMEN !

Does America want to fight Great Britain and France and Japan, and Is that the way to keep America out of war?" Mr. Wilson presents no apology for Japan, but says Great Britain and France had promised her Shantung in order to get Japan to come Into the war and hejp keep the Pacific clear of Ger man raiders. ' HOPE LAYS IX LEAGUE Mr. Wilson admits the bargain and denounces secret treaties, but says the remedy for the whole deplorable plight r,f China lies in the League of Nations and lta processes for revision of all grants of territory t'o the other powers as well as Japan. 7. Finally, and this is where the pres ident alwayB makes his biggest hit, he reminds his hearers that America went into the war to end war. that conscrip tion Mas put into operation and Liberty iocns were floated and hard earned dol lars were taken from American pockct bocks and the flower of American m4n hood sont to foreicn graves, not merely to beat Germany, but to prevent any other nation frorp trying the experiment which Germany tried. Nine day of discussion, he contends, would have been enough to prevent the last European war. as Germany would not have gone Mn if she knew England would fight ana she would certainly have held her horses I if she dreamed America might come in. Now, the president points out. nine months would be provided for arbitra tion or discussion-before there could be war ami if there " as war the economic boycott would be effective. Stubborn nations would be starved into submis sion. They would be commercially Isolated and financially bankrupted un less they accepted the verdict M man kind. If the league isn't set up and Kurope goes on as it has been, he thinks there will be more wars and America v. Ill be drawn into it and our losses will not be a couple hundred thousand but many millions of men. So it will be seen from the foregoing that the president Is, appealing to the per-cefu'. Instincts of the American peo ple anf the deeply lnpbedded passion for peace which elected him in 1918, on a platform of "Keep us out of war," an,d then supported him wholeheartedly on a platform of freeing the- world from militarism and of safeguarding democ racy. HIS WORDS WERT. MEANT Mr. Wilson cynically recalls the en thusiasm of certain of the league's op ponents when America entered the war and savs that when he led America into war to put an nd to the war busl- ness he meant it. Dramatically he ex claims that he would not be able to look into the face of a widowed wife or a bereaved parent if he came back from Paris without a program to end future before he gets through in denouncing tnose in America n semsmy reiusing loeei.e juu Slowlv but surelv he is drawing a line between the peace at any price elements who wanted to warn Americans off the high seas and wanted to amend the conscription act so our troops might not help the allies, and those who sup ported the war with Germany in the hope OviL out of ft would come some kind of a concert of moral and physical power to preserve peace. , I Mr. Wilson admits flaws in the cove nant, but says they can. be changed in time and that unless the league is set up now, the whole international com bination which was set up to beat Ger many will fall apart and will not easily be brought together again. Business men heard the president at St. Louis, and his appeal to eschew party politics drew loud applause from the many Republicans present. These said afterwards that Mr. Wilson made headway. Some said they had not un derstood before how deeply American business was involved in the contro versy over the league. The St. Louis Chamber of Commerce is hardly Wil son ian. Men sat at the guest table who had. attacked him bitterly hereto fore, but when he said that he was touring the country, not as a party man. but as an American, they jumped to their feet and joined in the applause and cheers. PARTY POLICIES BARRED Unquestionably Mr. Wilson will make a better impression as he removes from the public mind the notion of party politics, which he unfortunately built up when he took only men of his own personal predilection to Paris with him and ignored the Republican party. The present Republican leadership on the treaty is. not popular. Leading Repub licans here and there as we travel whisper to us that they think the course of Senator Lodge and Senator Knox is mistaken but they also say the president's tactics hitherto have made many partisans. Woodrow Wilson might, be the.-last to admit it. but his professions of po litical disinterestedness and his clear exposition of articles in the treaty on which . he has heretofore been vague and ambiguous have done him more good In this, section of the Middle West than all the studied statements, letters and .academic addresses to congress he has made since getting back from Kurope. He is at last lifting the treaty discussion out of the mire of party politics and personal ambition to the broad, issues . of international coopera tion which helped civilization triumph over barbarism and must inevitably safeguard the victory that was so pain fully won. Logging Operations In British -Columbia Are Closing Down Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 6. Unable, they say. to meet the demands of the loggers, who, it is said, want sheets on the bunkss a debating room, socialist literature, higher wages and shorter hours, , the majority of the logging camps throughout the north are closing down. Several thousand men are out of work, a majority of them, it is alleged, hav ing pronounced Bolshevistic leanings. They are flocking to Vancouver tn hun dreds just now and are expected to take part in the battle between the O; B. U. and international leaders. So far the honors have gone to the I. TV U. men but the loggers are expected to agitate for a general strike. 20,000 Bbls. of Flour Placed at Pendleton Pendleton. Sept. 6. Contracts for 20.000 barrels of flour have been let by the United States government to Pendle ton mills. The Pendleton Roller mills will supply 15,000 barrels and Walters mills will supply 5000 barrels. Both started operations today, running on run time, ah mills here haTe their stocks of wheat on hand and are pretty well supplied; for tba season. Hearing Postponed On Freight Rates on Wool and Hides Washington, Sept. 6. (WASHING TON BUREAU, OF THE JOURNAL) Representative Sinnott today obtained postponement of hearing on wool and hide rates from September 16, the date originally fixed, until September 30. It will be held In Washington before Edward Chambers, director of traffic and Max THelen, director of public serv ice of railroad administration. Director Chambers states that upon consideration it Is believed probably proper to make some revibion of the rates. E Commission Contemplates Plac ing Proposition Before Citi zens on Next City Ballot. Pensions for municipal employes grown old or infirm in the service of the taxpayers may be an early possi bility in civic administration as a result of an Informal discussion between Mayor Baker and the city commissioners Fri day That the ballot at the next city elec tion will provide for a public expression on the program outlined today was the solution agreed upon by the commission. In the interim some provision will be made, the council informally agreed, to pay employee entitled to pension a wage of $1 a day and to retire them A damper was temporarily put on the proposal wherf Commissioner Bigelow said "I will not countenance any pension plan at any time until the proposition has been presented to the people." That a pension 'system will be an ef fective economy was emphasized by the mayor and Commissioner Mann and the commission, including Bigelow, decided that the proper and economical o!u lion would be that suggesting: immediate provision for temporary pensions, pend ing public approval. The city is paying a number of aged or infirm employes according to the es tablished wage scale at present and is not getting the results their salaries justify, the council befceves. Mayor Baker pointed out that several persons are on the city payroll at normal wage who are only able, because of age or illness, to drag themselves about. It would not only be a blessing to re tire such men and let them spend their decHnlng years in peace and happiness. but it would save the city much money, it wa3 stated. Herbert Hoover Seeks Rest; No Political Aims London. Sept. 6. (I. N. S.) Herbert Hoover, former director of the inter allied food relief commission in Europe, before leaving for the United States on tha liner Aquitania today, emphatic ally denied that he istgolng into politics when he reaches home. 'I am not thinking anything about politics. "I am not coing back to Europe again under any circumstances." he said. "Possibly I may never see Europe again. I have stopped off here just long enough to wind up- some personal affairs. "I am through with food. My offices have been dissolved and the work turned oven, to a commission. When I reach New York I am Roing to California at the earliest possible moment. I want a rest I need ft." Gompers Refuses to Disclose Contents Of Wilson's Message Washington. Sept. 6. (I. N'. S.) Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, today re ceived from President Wilson a reply to his telegram asking that the chief ex ecutive request E. H. Gary, head of the United States Steel corporation, to meet the committee representing the 24 in ternational unions with which the steel workers are affiliated. "As the president did not see fit to make his telegram public at the time it was sent. I do not feel that I am au thorized to do so." Gompers declared.

He says he was driving along Broad way when Ladreith stepped from a street car and ran across the street directly in front of the machine, which could not come to an immediate stop I because of the wet streets. Hazard of Power Wires on Highway ' To Be Eliminated Salem, Sept, 6. The Columbia River Light & Power company of Portland is called upon, in a letter from the public service commission today, to eliminate Immediately, hazardous conditions said to exist in their power- lines along the Columbia river highway near Cascade locks. "Many of the poles ' supporting the primary circuit are ready to fall and certainly cannot be depended upon dur ing the whole winter to maintain fhe line in serviceable condition." the commis sion's letter reads. "This Is a hazard also to the public on this heavily traveled highway, where sagging wires due to-a broken pole or support might easily come withir. reach of an unsuspecting person." Prohibition Cause of Increased Tax Rates . San Prancisoo, Sept. 6. U. P.) Pro hibition and a desire to complete public works held up by the war will cost San Francisco 67 cents additional on every $100 worth of taxable property. The supervisors voted to fix a tax rate of $3.08, which is 67 cents higher than the existing rate. This city formerly ie ceived an annual revenue of, IXftfl OOn rfrom ealoon licenses. The higher tax rate will raiee about $3,500,000 additional on a property valuation of $565,000,000. Estate. Valued at $3250 Dr. C. H. Rafferty, pioneer Portland physician' who died May 10, left an es tate valued at approximately $32,350, according to the report of the apprais ers, filed in the circuit court Friday morning. The assets consist chiefly of real estate located in the city of Port-uu.C VIFE OF MAJOR CHARLES HYDRO ELECTR1G DISTRICT NEEDED, ENGINE A. L Haley Says Waterpower Now Useless Could Furnish Electric Power for Thjs District MODERATE COST PROMISED Vancouver and Portland, Along With Surrounding Territory, Would Profit by Innovation. Establishment of a hydro-electric district embracing Portland, Van couver, Wash., and the Industrial districts adjoining these cities Is pro posed by A. L. Haley, an engineer re tained by the Port of Vancouver. Haley was formerly connected with the U. S. shipping board emergency fleet corporation, and has a long rec ord of successful achievement to his credit. Through the development of vsater power now going to waste he pr0poses to furnish electric power. light and heat at moderate cost to the homes and industries of Port land, Vancouver and surrounding areas. The city' of Vancpuver now pays the P. R., L. & P. company 9 to 10 cents per kilowatt for electricity, according to Haley, and at the same time the com pany is furnishing electric power to the government at 1V4 cents per kilowatt. He declares that electrical energy can be generated by waterpower at .45 of 1 cent per kilowatt, and that 500.000 horse power could easily be developed within a radius of less than 100 miles from Portland. CLAY PRODUCTS COMPACT BUILDS The value of cheap electric power and lieht in the tievelODment of an industrial center Is recogiized as of fhe first im portance by the business men or Van couver, and every effort will be made to sudoIv manufacturers who Wocate there, according to Haley. The Port of f Vancouver is also offering factory sites along its 24 mile of waterfront at a rental of $1 per year. The Dailey Clay Products company has secured a 30 year lease on a tract of 27 acres with deep water frontage on the Columbia river, and extensive con struction work on their plant is now under way. A fill of 40.000 cubic yards has been completed, a spur track con necting with the S.. P. & S. railroad has been built, and the first unit of the man ufacturing plant is being erected. Clav for the manufacture of the Dailey company's products will be brought from Molalla over the S. F. railroad to Ore gon City and thence to Vancouver by scow. Freight rates from Oregon City to Vancouver by rail are $32 for 20 tons, and water transportation $35 for 500 tons, according to Haley. Eventually, he says, raw material for the plant will be brought by motor truck from Molalla to Oregon City. GLASS FACTORY PROPOSED The first unit of the clay products plant will be used for the manufacture of kitchen ware, cuspidors and other heavy crockery, and will give employ ment to 75 operatives. Three other units will be erected to take care of the bet ter grades of chinaware and several hundred men will be employed in the completed plant. Other industries already located on waterfront acreage in the Port of Van couver district, are tne American tan company, California tiarrei company and the Standifer shipbuilding concern. Among the additional enterprises which Dailey hopes to see established are a glass works, a paper mill and a shipyard for the construction of wooden sailing vessels. ' Haley recently returned from an ex tensive investigation of the industries in the Sound cities, and is convinced that a plant for the manufacture of glass bot tles of all descriptions and fruit jars similar to those now in use in Oregon could be successfully operated at Van couver. A similar plant now, at Ana cortes. Wash., receives its raw material from Eastern Washington at $11 pcr ton f. o. b..Anacortes, $7.40 being charged for quarrying and crushing the silica rock and $3.60 for freight A large deposit of silica rock is said to exist within a short distance from Vancouver, samples analyzed showing 99 per cent silica, compared wjth 98 per cent shown by the Eastern Wash ington rock. Besides this deposit of raw material close at home, the Vancouver plant could depend upon a large supply of broken glass from Portland and other towns in the neighborhood, Haley de clares. PAPER MILL IS PROSPECT The present supply of glass fruit Jars comes largely from San Francisco, and the establishment of a plant at Van couver would effect the distribution of a payroll locally which no goes outside this territory. The plant contemplated by Haley would give employment to three shifts of 23 men each,, and a six acre tract with waterfrontage is avail able for its erection. Concerning the feasibility of establish ing a paper mill at Vancouver, Haley makes the following statement : "There is sufficient old paper going to waste in Portland and Vancouver to supply" paper mill of large capacity. Old news papers are known to contain 85 per Cent wood pulp, and when wood sulphites are added to this pulp, you have the neces sary raw material' for the manufacture of news print paper. "A paper plant of sufficient capacity to supply the local demand " for news paper would give employment to 100 men in three shifts. From extensive in vestigation of the paper making indus try, I am in a. position to assure in vestors that there is a big profit in the manufacture of print paper from waste material," said Haley. WOODES BARKEJTTISES FOR EXPORT TRADE One of the moat important industries proposed for Vancouver by Haley is the construction of wooden sailing vessels for the lumber carrying trade. He citea the construction, now under way, of four fivemasted barkentines by the Grays Harbor Motorship yards at Aber deen, Wash., as an indication of what could be accomplished at Vancouver. These boats are 260 feet in length over all and 20 feet between perpendiculars ; have an extreme beam of 44 feet, and molded depth of 21 feet 6 inches. They have a dead weight of between 1600 and 1700 tons, and displacement of 4470 tons of a 26 foot draft. Vessels of this type have a dead carrying weight of 2700 to 2800 tons ; they are well built, and capa ble of withstanding any sea. Haley de clares. , Barkentines now building at Grays Harbor will carry L500.000 feet of fir lumber and their holds will accommodate timbers up to SO feet' in length. They ER HOLDS win make from 10 to 12 knots as. sail ing vessels and provision la made for conversion to auxiliary motor power, estimated speed with distillate In a calm being 7 to 8 knots. Haley proposes the construction of wooden sailing vessels of the type de scribed to carry lumber to South Ameri can ports, with a return cargo of ni trates. He also suggests lumber ship ments to the Atlantic seaboard with re turn cargoes of coal from Newport News to the Bremerton navy yard. FLOUR. MILLS AN1 ELEVATORS The barkentlnes coulr be built at a cost of approximately $260,000, Haley says, and would employ crews of 14 men each, including the captain and his wife. Invitation will be extended to local lum ber interests to become owners of the proposed lines of sailing vssels, accord ing to Haley. Vancouver also looks to the establish ment of a flouring mill industry on an immense scale along its waterfront, and Haley leaves tonight for Minneapolis to interest millers and elevator men of that city Jn the local enterprise. EOIL !J. Haggerty Gets Orders for Delivery of 127 Burners for Use in American Transport Service. A few weeks ago a government rep resentative in Seattle, after reading a dfscription of the 3'. K., Haggerty crude oil burner in The Journal, wrote Mr. Haggerty a letter soliciting a trial of one of his inventions on a government boat In that harbor. Mr. Haggerty was glad to accommodate the gentleman and a a result an order has been placed here for 127 for use in the American trans port service. Many will be used In the galleys for cooking food for the crews of the vessels, says Mr. Haggerty, aad others for heating water in donkey boil ers. Up at Oswego is located the Dickin son jelly and preserving plant. Mr. Dickinson has installed one of these burners and it operates the boiler, used in his work, and because it requires no attention whatever the engineer,'' Mr. Dickinson's son, now devotes all his t.me helping his father in their preserve and jelly factory. Before installing the burner, says Mr. Haggerty, the factory consumed a cord of wood a day. It new burns 11 gallons of 6-cent per gal lon oil, which is tantamount to wood at 66 cents per cord. The office of the burner is now in the Brown block, Grand and Hawthorne avenue. Prospects for Oil In Yamhill County Hold Big Promises Indications of petroleum deposits in Yamhill county are being Investigated by H. L. Corbett and other Portland capitalists and according to recent re ports give promise of successful devel opment. Deposits of oil bearing sands have been discovered on the farms of J. W. Tilden and C. V. Sandstone and these are being surveyed and speci mens analyzed by geologists in the em ploy of interested corporations. These deposits are said to be similar to oil bearing sands found In Southern California and other producing districts. So far these discoveries have failed to result in much excitement, according to reDorts from Yamhill county, and there , . indication of a tendency toward speculation in on leases. City Auditorium Closed to Debate On Irish Question The city council Friday afternoon with held from the Central Labor council a per mit for the use of The Auditorium Friday nieht President Harry Anderson an- nounced. therefore, that . the debate on the Irish question announced for to night would be indefinitely postponed.
