SLllSS To Bring Down Living Costs TALK AGAINST LEAGUE This second annual drive is bringing prices down with' a--vengeance on many necessities for person and home. ' 4 REED AND HIS VICIOUS v Says Senator Was Unjust in At tacking Japanese and Treaty in His Speech Made Here.- "U Is an amazing thing to me that James Reed, a senator of the United States, should go so far as to transgress : the responsibility and dignity of his of fice to come to Portland and make a . wanton attack on one of our allies In the recent war." With this statement. William D. Wheelwright, president of the Pacific Export Lumber company, opened his reply to Senator Reed on .the Japanese question at the members' forum of the Chamber of Commerce Monday noon. Senator Reed verbally flayed the Japan ese, the League of Nations and Presl- , dent Wilson in a speech at the chamber last Monday. . Calling attention to the fact that Reed had used the expression that Washing ton, Lincoln and Roosevelt were the greatest - men In American history. Wheelwright used, to a major extent, quotations from Roosevelt op the Jap anese question. Roosevelt was credited with saying In 1611 that the time had come for us to show a trust and confidence In Japan and that there are. certain agitators In the senate, the . newspaper world and private life who have played Germany's game to arouse a hostile feeling between America and Japan. Wheelwright further quoted Roosevelt to the effect that there are certain, dema gogic agitators in America who are will ing to earn German money to provoke ill feeling. Pointing out "discrepancies and un truths" In Reed's forum address. Wheel wright Intertwined his entire discourse With a plea that every true American make an earnest effort to realize the dream America ha'd upon entering the world war "to recreate the world to a peace that passeth understanding." At the conclusion of his address. Reed's various arguments against the League of Nations and the Shantung clause were picked to pieces by Wheel wright one by one ending with the state ment that "Japan has never violated a national agreement" Army Blankets Are Transformed Into Fancy Overcoats! Why worry with $75 overcoats? Here's the latest New York fad and It has possibilities of Portland adoption : Press a (rents, ever ready to enter the public prints, bought army blankets and had a tailor make them Into over coats. The coats can be dyed, have novelty, and are low In cost. While olive drab blankets are not available at the government retail store. Fifth and Pine streets, grey blan kets can be purchased and later dyed. They range in price from $3 to $8. Prune Stock Shown As Good Investment; Price Advance Big ' Did, you invest in prunes two months ago? You've doubled your money if you did. Prunes that eold at the government retail store for 11 cents a short while .ago are now quoted at 23 cents. "But they are still a good buy." ad vises B. A. M. Fowler, superintendent of the store. Depleted stocks have curtailed sales volumes, but tomatoes, candy, under wear, blankets, wagons and harness still prove big attractions. The store, which is at Fifth and Pine streets, is selling . surplus war stocks direct to the public. For Flavor and Economy Use Famous M. J. B.
