JEWS IN POLAND
TOLD IN REPORT
Pogroms Described in Official
Papers Sent to President for
Re-submission to Upper House
By Dawid Iawrcnce
Copyright. 1920.
Washington, Jan. 14. The de
partment of state has given to the
White House for transmission to
the senate copies of two long await
ed reports on the results of the in-
1 veatigation conducted by an Ameri
can commission of three into the
"pogroms" or "excesses" against the
Jews of Poland.
Two reports, one signed by Henry
Mcrganthau, former American ambas
sador to Turkey, a Jew, and the other
r'jrned by Brigadier General Edgar
landw In and Homer Johnson, non-Jews,
constitute an epoch-making chapter In
the relations of the people of the United
States to the newly-founded republics of
; f'entral Europe. The two reports do not
differ as to facts they agree that about
300 Jews died as a result of the "ex-
i cesses" in the period following the
armistice, but they disagree as to re
sponsibility and blame and the best
course for Poland to follow in the fu
t u re.
: M A V OT AID CAUSE
i Opinion among American Jews, who
i became familiar with the contents of the
reports before they reached the depart-
nient of state, differed as to the wisdom
, cf publishing the documents. Some ar
I gued that the reflection made upon Jew
ish teaching had better be left imprinted,
j Some said it would focus attention on
I the way the Poles have been discriminat
; ing against the Jews and would consti
tute a , corrective for the future and
make the new Polish republic conscious
that the eyes of the world were con
stantly upon it.
, President Wilson himself did not take
1 the initiative in making the report pub
lic. It was only after the president had
passed a resolution asking for the re
, ports that they were prepared for pub
I liea'ion.
j There is no question hut that after
i reading both reports, one gets a fresh
j idea of the turbulance in which Central
i Europe finds Itself and that all the In-
fluences of liberalism, patience, good
l will arid tolerance will have to be exert
1 ed to help Poland get a good start in the
I world and to fulfill her pledge of relig
I if.tis liberty.
I Mr. Morganthau himseir gives the new
j Polish government considerable encour
agement and is inclined to forgive the
"excesses" on the general ground that
the government had not yet been estab
lished when the crimes . occurred and
tiiat what happened was largely disor
ders among soldiers and civilians who
I inherited prejudices of anti-semitism. He
applauds the Polish government for its
I activity in indicting certain non-Jews re
1 sponsible for the "excesses" and calls
attention to laxity in other cases.
The so-called Jadwln-.lohnson report
looks at the situation more from the
viewpoint of what will help Poland in
the future and is inclined to minimize
the occurrences by showing that the
total of 300 is much lower than the hun-
' dreds of thousands of persons reported
In the American press to h'ave been
killed.
OPPOSE I.EXIE5PT
It admits, however, that Jews were
' beaten, executed and persecuted, but an
alyzes the case as a fundamental after
the war prejudice against the Jews;
first, for supposed sympathy with the
flcrmans when they occupied Poland :
and, second, for their alleged sympathy
with the Bolshevik movement.
There is a tendency In the Jadwin
Johnson report to criticize the action of
the peace conference in making Poland
respect the rights of minorities and to
( argue that Poland will never get along
. if division is emphasized, but that she
will prosper only if the non-Jews and
Jews assimilate politically, economically
' and otherwise. This, of course, from the
i Jewish standpoint, is objectionable. Just
; as It is from the viewpoint of minorities
i of other religions in other countries of
: Europe. In fact, there is about as much
' chance of assimilation between the Jews
i and Poles as there Is between the Cath
olics and Protestants qf the North and
I South of Ireland. Furthermore, the
j Jadwln-Johnson report commends the
l American school system to the consid
eration of Poland and emphasizes the
( need for public schools that develop na
: tlonality Instead of religion.
EXERT INFLUENCE HERE
On the other hand anybody who can
resolve the controversy that exists in the
United States over the existence of
. Catholic schools as against public
1 schools will find the job in Poland no
j less easy. If by "American experience"
the Jawdln report means the existence
of Catholic schools that are not sup
ported by the state, the parallel would
be Jewish schools in Poland that are
not supported by the state, but there is
no specific explanation of how the an
alogy of "American experience" would
apply In Poland.
Both reports are worth reading. They
are lengthy documents and when one
gets through reading them he feels like
turning them over to some justice of the
supreme court of the United States who
has no religious feeling of sympathy
whatever if Indeed there is such a man
for an Impartial verdict. But the sig
nificant thing is that, far from being
able to keep out of European affairs,
the Jews along with the Irish public
managed to exert their political power
here in. the hope that the beneficent in
fluence of the United States government
will help their kinsmen abroad in the
struggle for religious freedom and In
dividual liberty.

Senator Farrell
Is Presented With
Carnation Bouquet
State House, Salem, Or., Jan. 14.
"Woman's rights prevail, but chivalry
Is not dead," reads a little note ap
pended to a beautiful bouquet of red
carnations on the. desk, of Senator
Farrell of Multnomah county this
morning. The note is signed by Rep
resentative Mrs. Alexander Thomp
son, Farrell's successful rival for the
honor of sponsoring the resolution
through which Oregon has ratified
the woman suffrage amendment to
the national constitution. Mrs
Thompson appends herself "Your co
ratifier" in appreciation of Farrell's
action in deferring to her in the
privilege of sponsoring the success
ful resolution.
PHONE STATIONS
Irvington Protest Causes Council
To Pass Ordinance Barring
Phone Substations.
The city council this morning
passed an ordinance placing tele
phone exchanges in the same class
with obnoxious buildings and nui
sances, following protests of resi
dents of Irvington against the erec
tion of a sub-station at East Twenty-third
and Stanton streets by the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com
pany. W. D. Moore, engineer of the tele
phone company, said it was absolutely
necessary to locate sub-stations within
500 feet of the nearest wire center. Moore
said the company had no choice in de
termining exchange sites.
"I suggest the appointment of a board
of engineers to investigate the technical
question involved in this case before we
take any action," said Commissioner
Barbur.
Mayor Baker called for a vote on the
ordinance which was unanimously
passed. Commissioner- Mann was not
present.
Judge William M. Cake, representing
property owners in Irvington, stated that
location of a telephone exchange in the
district was encroachment on what has
always been a well-defined residence
property.
"If this ordinance is passed, residents
of Irvintrton will suffer from poor tele
phone service," stated Judge Charles
H. Carey, attorney for the telephone
company.
Public Has Spending
Orgy; High Priced
Luxuries in Demand
The "continued demand from the pub
lic for luxuries'ls commented bn by D.
C. Wills, chairman of the board of di
rectors of the Fourth Federal Reserve
bank, as "aiding an economic situation
which the people decry, and yet take no
active steps to combat." He says the
public is "under the influence of a spend
ing spell." A report by one firm in the
district is cited in the January busi
ness review in the firm's statement that
the amount paid by customers in luxury
taxes would more than equal the firm's
income and excess profits taxes.
"Price Is no longer a controlling fac-
' tor," says the review, "and It has been
demonstrated that goods will Fell" more
quickly with an arbitrary 25 per cent
I increase than at the original price."
The report chronicles an incident of
"lack of discrimination in buying" from
Kentucky, where the tobacco crop has
yielded good returns to growers. One
grower bought two grand pianos because
he had two daughters.
Adcox Pleads Guilty
And Is Fined $500
L. L. Adcox, Portland business man,
who admitted that liquor taken from
him by A. L. Long, pseudo federal offi
cer, had been illegally transported into
Oregon, was fined $500 by Federal
Judge Wolverton Tuesday afternoon.

MOTION PICTURE
CENSORS' POLICY
Housewives' Council in Favor of
Enlarging Board's Powers to
Include Vaudeville Bills.
Thorough and unanimous indorse
ment by the Housewives' Council
was given the policy of the motion
picture censors in their efforts to
regulate current picture plays. This
action followed discission of the
subject at a regular meeting of the
council in the Central library Tues
day. Believing that the censor ordinance
should be broader In its scope, covering
vaudeville and the legitimate stage as
well as screen plays, Mrs. G. L. Wil
liams made a motion that a committee
be appointed to urge amendments to the
ordinance. The plan was unanimously
approved.
Mrs. John Scott stressed the import
ance of the personnel of any body em
powered to pronounce judgment on the
deletion of features in public amuse
ments. Mrs. C A. Johnson, a Portland
scenario writer drew attention to the
fact that the moving picture companies
themselves are responsible for the cur
rent type of picture. She denounced the
Mack Sennett bathing girl comedies,
which she said should not be allowed on
the sojreen, and attributed many of the
disasters resulting from small boys play
ing with firearms to pictures such as
Bill Hart has popularized.
Restriction of dance halls outside the
city, regulation of hours for closing and
provision of a penalty for violations of
the ordinance, received unanimous ap
proval from the council- Mrs. F. O.
Xorthrup, vice-president of the House
wives' council, who presided at the meet
ing, suggested that this measure should
have an amendment providing a penalty
for parents of young people who were
brought into court under the charges
embodied in this restrictive bill.
"Parents are contributing more to the
delinquency of our cities and states."
said Mrs. Northrup, "than the children
are."

READY FOR TRIAL, BUT
FIND PRISONER GONE
A. G. Walls, Convicted of Stat
utory Charges, Walks to Lib
erty From County Prison.
"I am ready to try the case, your
honor, and I believe that Ted Lansing
of the city attorney's office is also
ready, but I am not so sure about the
prisoner. I understand that he walked
out of jail the other day and hasn't j
been seen since." i
Thus spoke Tom Garland, attorney j
for A. G. Walls, when the case was
called on the docket of Presiding Judge j
i McCourt's court this morning. Walls. '
who was convicted In the municipal ;
court on July 25 of a statutory charge, 1
was fined $200 and sentenced to serve
120 days in jail. It was the appeal from '
this decision that was to have come up !
this morning.
Walls had been in jail since that time. !
As he was a harmless and amiable
prisoner, he was made a trusty by the
jailers. A few days ago he decided
that the processes of the law; were too
slow, so he descended from the jail to
the street and liberty. His case was
continued over by Judge McCourt.
57 Smallpox Cases

Science Should Rule
City Building, Says
Editor -Architect
New York is becoming an unworkable
city. Paris has the highest of municipal
death rates " from tuberculosis. London
is suffering all the ills of Intense con
gestion. World history shows that great
cities destroy themselves.
Thus Charles Harris Whitaker, editor
of the Journal of the American institute
of Architects, spoke before the Oregon
chapter of the American Institute of
Architects Monday at the Benson.
Unearned increment and the desire to
enjoy it, he declared, accounts for the
capitalized and exploited values result
ant from congested community organiza
tion. Likewise, unearned Increment is
at the bottom of city planning and zon
ing as corrective measures, he said.
Whitaker - believes that science, not
chance nor selfishness, should rule city
building, and that such balance should
be struck between agriculture and in
dustry sis will permit lnteraccessibility
and give opportunity for development of
the highest qualities in humanity.
PLANS TO REMOVE ARMY
DEPOT FROM PORTLAND
TEMPORARILY HALTED
Meanwhile Chamber of Comrnerce
Will Investigate Compara
tive Costs.
Plans for the removal of the quarter
master depot in this city have been tem
porarily suspended pending a definite re
organization of the army, according to
an announcement received this morning
by the Chamber of Commerce from H. L.
lagers, quartermaster general and di
rector of purchases and storage.
Investigation of reports drafted by the
headquarters of the quartermaster de
partment as reasons for the removal of
the local depot have been investigated
by the Chamber of Commerce. Compar
ative estimates of storage, haulage and
rental costs in Portland, Los Angeles and
Seattle have been checked and found er
roneous. The national report sent the chamber
for storage space rental per square foot
was as follows: Los Angeles, 14.6 cents;
Portland, 12.7 cents , and Seattle. 2.7
cents. Investigation proves that the stor
age space rented from Albers Bros, for
J1651 totals 60,000 square feet and the
actual cost per square foot was there
fore 2.8 cents. It Is believed there are
also discrepancies in the haulage charge
estimates and a thorough Investigation
is to be made by the chamber of this
angle.
