In tba following article prepared for jttio United Fran, giwn hia views M to the probable effect of the defeat of the peace treaty ft the aenate. By Thomas Nelson Pace Former Amnaaaador to Italy Washington, Nov. 21. (U. P.)- I consider the defeat of the peace J treaty as an lnmeasurable mlafor tune. Those who defeated it have assumed the most terrible responsi bility which any men have assumed in our time. Its effect must be to plunge Europe Into even deeper chaos, from which America can hardly escape entirely. Those who ' were most against the treaty and the League of Nations were the Ger mans, the extreme Sinn Feiners, the I. W. W. and the Bolshevists. Those, wher have Just killed the treaty, however sincere their motives, have given these cause for great rejoicing. No one maintains that the treaty or the league was perfect, but everyone knows in his heart that it was a better treaty and sanction than was hoped for one year ago. Just one year ago and a little more, America and the world were holding their breath at what was happening in France. We were vowing to God that if peace were vouchsafed us, that the thing which was destroying the world and had already swept away bo many millions of men should never come again. The ruins of Prance and Italy till wpi-A m nV iiitr Cnir mn wprfl dvln? by thousands in the Argonne and along the other fronts to save the world, and it was saved. ACTION IS DEPI.OEED I was present when David Lloyd George laid the treaty of peace on the table of the house of commons and de clared that the League of Nations was the only means of future safety in sight and that he could not imagine how any sensible man could oppose it being fully tried out. Since that time the treaty has been approved by all the allies. But the senate of the United States has rejected alike the treaty and the League of Nations. Thus the United States and China stand out alone against the treaty and league. China may have a. defensible reason, but what reason have we? If the treaty did not protect America then human intelligence has no sound basis. Europe is in a condition bordering on chaos and this is not likely to bring order there. Tho first thing will be Germany's relief from the exactions of the treaty. Can it be that she now will put forth her efforts to pay the great reparation amount imposed upon her un less indeed she recognises that the present situation offers the unexpected chance for her to conquer the world once more commercially? If not this, then the result must and probably will be in any event reestablishment of great armaments. 6AFETI MTJ8T BE SECtTBED The League of Nations,' having been repudiated by us, the result to us is clear, It means ' we must Inaugurate here a great armament We, Germany and China alone stand outside' of the league, which at present constitutes a sort of Inchoate alliance of those who have entered it. The present situation as I seo it is that we have had a chance to escape from being overwhelmed in what threatened to be a universal deluge and the senate nab thrown it away. We must now find some other ark of safety. The chief builder of the ark that promised us rescue worked himself near ly to death to save us. And it looks as if those who were not called in to help build the ark have sunk It What will they give us in its place? Attempts to Lower Taxes Investigated By Portland Official Attempt of officials of the public serv ice corporation? in Portland to Induce the state tax commission to lower their taxes prompted the city council to send Deputy City Attorney Latourette to 8alem Wednesday to Investigate the entire matter. City commissioners point out that any reduction of the tax levy or the ratio of valuation on such property would result in a loss of revenue to the city at a time when such revenue Is badly needed. Latourette found on inquiry at Salem that proceedings had not ad vanced far enough to warrant the an nouncement of any tentative figures. Properties of the public service cor porations were taxed last year on a basis of 62 per cent of their actual value. Gross earnings, dividends paid and property owned by the corporation were all taken Into consideration. Lebanon People for Support of Library Lebanon, Nov. 21. At a public meet ing held to consider the tentative city budget $240 was added for the main tenance of a city library. The budsst contains S1500 for the purchase of a three-acre tract for park and camp ground purposes and $500 for purchase of a fire truck. The budge., which totals $19,689. is practically the same as that of last year.
