Thomas Nelson Page, Former
Ambassador to Italy, Says
Grave Injustice to Peace Cause
WORST ELEMENTS OPPOSED
Germans, Sinn Feiners, I. W. W.
and Bolshevists Are Against
Treaty Made at Versailles.
Tbomat Nelson P. former mbasaador to
Xtajjr, who baa recently returned from that
ronntry. 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

ing held to consider the tentative city

as that of last year.
