12 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL,- PORTLAND, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920. COMPLICATIONS OF DIPLOMACY BIG nnnr iimninAn rtMbt nHnUluHr By David laawrenc (Copyrighted, 1920.) Washington, March 13. An ex traordinary situation In world dip lomacy has risen, which demon strates to some extent why more progress Is not being made in get ting the nations of the world back to a real and not a fictitious basis of peace. Te British, French and Italian em basates here havt been instructed to con sult the government of the United States with reference to the Turkish treaty, the terms of which being unsettled are keeping the near east In political tur moil. TACAM OFFICES Jules Jusserand. the French ambas sador, and dean of the diplomatic corps, must take the lead in approaching the American government, for the credentials of the Italian ambassador have never been presented and the new British am bassador has not yet taken up his duties here. But Ambassador Jusserand lias the diplomatic privilege of discussing mat ters with the head of the United States fovernmnnt and not necessarily the sec retary of the state. In the present situ ation. Mr. Wllnon being ill or at least unwill'nR to receive foreign ambassadors, and the office of secretary of state being unfilled because the senate has not con firmed the nomination of Bainbrldge Colby, the plight of Mr. Jusserand Is an unenviable one. In two or three days there may not even be a secretary of slate ad Interim for the period during which Frank I.. Polk can hold that position Is subject to legal doubts, now being threshed over in the office of the attorney general. JHOHE COMPLICATIONS The question, therefore, in whether Wilson will receive the French ambas aadnr, and, perhaps, the charge d'affairs of the British embassy and the new Italian ambassador. The excuse hither to given was the president's Illness but the present situation Is further compli cated by the surprising statement with reference, to the alleged Imperialism of France made by the president in his let ter to Senator Hitchcock. The president said: , "Throughout the sessions of peace, In Paris, it was evident that a militaristic party, under the most influential leader ship, was seeking to gain ascendency In the counsels of France. They were de feated then, but they are In control now." This accusation has brought forth a torm of protests from the French press all the way from veiled references to the regrettable Ill-health of the president to the Inexcusably savage outbursts to TRA5SPaTATIOH ip MIJUU.LIN& S.

RHINE FOR FHA5CE On the other hand, the Insinuation of imperialism made by the president is thought to be founded upon his annoy ance over the manner In which the so called "Joker" In the peace treaty has already been invoked to threaten a pro longation of the French military occu pation of the left bank of the Rhine. The president entertains the friendliest feelings for Marshal Focn, but the sus picion in recent months has been that the distinguished military genius of France is much more Interested in ac quiring the rftilneland for France, a proposal which he openly advocated during the sessions of the peace con ference, than he is at present in seeing carried out the letter of the compromise which Mr. Wilson agreed to and which liberals in America criticised him for doing. It Is partly Mr. Wilson smarting un der the criticism of liberal opinion and partly Mr. Wilson seeking to prevent the predictions of those who doubt France's real intentions, which is really believed to be back of the reference to France in the Hitchcock letter. U was not inserted as a passing argu ment but unquestionably as a solemn warning as to what Mr. Wilson sees In France a rising military party. Frenchmen here say the president is all wrong:, that he doesn't understand French politics, and that he is too sus picious. Curiously enough. Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, by his statement deploring Mr. Wilson's ref erence to France. has encouraged Frenchmen to believe that the Republi can leader may yet revert to a position of active friendship for France in the American senate. But to France the true test of the sincerity of either the Democrats or Republicans In the United States, In their professions of friendship for France, will depend to a large ex tent upon whether the special French-British-American defensive agreement is ratified. There are those who think neither Mr. Wilson nor the senate is especially anx ious at present to support the agree ment, and as for the president, some observers profess to see him retiring some pledge given Premier Clemenceau to support that special treaty, a retire ment that might be based upon this supposed ascendency of the militarists In France. So the French government Is at pains how to take Mr. Wilson, how to approach him, how to express Its astonishment over his accusations and yet keep his support for the treaty and consult him on the Turkish situation, lest he threatens again to withdraw America from the domain of interna- onal cooperation. BANK SEEKS TO HAVE Vancouver, Wash., March 13. Court Commissioner Dale McMuIlen granted the petition, Friday, of the Vancouver National bank that Mabel A.

MANN AND PIER ARE IN FAVOR OF II Rumors that Commissioners Mann and Pier had Joined Commissioner Bigelow in his alleged attempt to prevent the construction of the per manent smallpox hospital at Kelly Butte rock quarry were denied by the three commissioners this morn ing. However, each expressed a desire to have the city erect a tem porary annex to the old smallpox ccttage at Kelly Butte if the county commissioners would agree immedi ately to start work on their perma nent structure on Marquam hill. Providing three members of the city council vote on Wednesday for the ordi nance appropriating $30,000, the perma nent smallpox hospital will be a reality within the next few months. Mayor Baker announced this morning. Mayor Baker and Commissioner Barbur have i backed the plan of erecting; permanent quarters for contagious disease patients for th past two months. They will vote for the ordinance on Wednesday. Bige low, Pier and Mann asserted tills morn ing that they would withhold their de cision until further information was forthcoming from county officials. County commissioners expressed their Inability to erect a hospital in less than two years' time on Marquam hill at a Joint meeting with the city council over two weeks ago. Mayor Baker asserted at theime that under no condition would he allow work at the permanent hospital to be stopped unless the county wouid grive absolute assurance of providing am ple hospital facilities by next fall. POLICE TO MAKE KEPOKT REGARDING ALL ARRESTS Officers in charge at the police sta tion must make full and detailed report to Mayor Baker of all persons arrested who are released either before or after their names are placed on the police blotter, according to instructions issued to Chief Jenkins today. Jenkins Issued instructions to desk officers immediately following the re ceipt of the mayor's order.
