Plan to Restrict
Charitable Drives
Will Be Discussed
Shall Portland have but one drive a
year for charitable and civic funds?
Shall contributors and charities submit
to the administration of the community
fund by a board of citizens selected from
the directing boards of the organizations
affected but representing also the large
contributors?
Shall the city officially decline to
grant permits for more than one "drive"
annually except in case of generally rec
ognised emergency?
These are Questions that will be passed
upon at a citizens' meeting in the green
room of the Chamber of Commerce this
evening. The plan was devised by .the
presidents' council of Portland's busi
ness and civic clubs. The meeting was
called by Mayor Baker. Unusual inter
est evinced In the project is expected to
bring a targe attendance. AH who are
interested are permitted to attend. The
plan will be presented by E. N. Strong,
president of the Portland Ad club and
chairman of the "Community Chest"
committee of the presidents' Council, and
City Attorney W. P. La Roche, who has
drafted the constitution under which the
proposed ."Community Chest" will be op
erated. Suit for Divorce

COLUMBIA TO GET
NINE PERMANENT
i, IS BELIEF
Washington, March 31. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OP THE JOUR
NAL.) Best Information here as to
the assignment of ships for perma
nent operation from Pacific coast
ports shows that the number Is much
less than indicated by a recent state
ment furnished by the shipping
board to Congressman Miller of Se
attle, which has caused , some con
fusion. Examination of the chart furnished
Mr. Miller, which (Ives the names of
operating- companies. Shows that the
total is made up by including; ships
which have been assigned for a single
loading, and not for permanent operation.
Thus, the Pacific Steamship company is
listed for one' ship at Taeoma. IS at
Seattle. IS at Portland, 3 at Astoria and
9 at San Francisco.
Actual permanent assignments to the
Columbia river in well informed circles
are said to be nine, five to the Paicfic
Steamship company and four to the Co
lumbla-Pacific, with two others pros
pectively near for the Columbia-Pacifie
and two others for tramp trips to an
other operating -firm which H Is thought
may ripen bite permanent assignment.
BESR0.V FAV0ES COLUMBIA
Favorable consideration for the claims
of the Columbia river shipping interests
are believed to be assured from the at-1
titude of Admiral w. 8. Benson, the
new chairman of the shipping
board.
He has Impressed Northwest callers with
sincerity In the desire that the ports of
the Columbia shall have their fair share
of business.
Chairman Benson was the guest of
Senator McNary at a dinner party a
few nights ago. One of those present
was W. D. B. Dodson, representative of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce.
Chairman Benson was apprised of what
Portland has made ready to do and the
business waiting at that port, and It Is
believed that he understands coast con
ditions. DODSOir 18 ENCOURAGED
Mr. Dodson, after several weeks spent
with shipping board officials and ship
ping men in the East, feels much en
couraged over the prospects. Definite
assignments are less numerous than
hoped for, but much better than could
be predicted a short fime ago. and as
trade conditions enfold it is believed that
the upbuilding of the Portland lines will
be steady and constant.
At the shipping hoard division of op
erations it Is eald that ships are now
"assigned" and not "allocated." For
merly they were allocated to tjertaln
trade routes. Xow they are assigned to
an operating company and the company
places the ships where it finds the best
opnortunltles.
One thing contributing to a better out
look for the Pacific coast Is a percepti
ble decline In the Atlantic demands, with
an easing up In that direction, while at
the same time new ships are being added
from yards In this country and additions
are being made from ships contracted for
In Japan.

WILSON TELLS ALLIES
TURKS MUST GET OUT
(Continued From Page On.)
the Turk would be the spark that might
start a holy war by the Moslem world
is not tenable, in the opinion of the
president, who declares that the Mo
hammedan peoples not only witnessed
without protest the defeat of the Turk,
but aided substantially tn It.
RUSSIAN PLAN FAVORED
The president agrees heartily to the
plan for future Russian representation
on the International council, which has
been proposed for the control and gov
ernment of Constantinople! and the
straits. In fact- he points out that no
permanent arrangement can be arrived
at unless Russia's Interests are pro
tected. An Independent Armenia, with tn out
let to the sea at Treblsond, is suggested
by the president, thereby revealing that
he disagrees with the allies on several
important features concerning the Ar
menian settlement. He also disagrees
with them on the boundaries they have
fixed for Arabia, and on the disposition
of Thrace, the northern part of which
he believes should be given to Bulgaria
an the eastern part to Greece. Bul
garia would "thus be compensated for
the land taken from her to provide Ser
bia with a strategic frontier, according
to the president.
. The president contends that the allies
have taken from Arabia, under their
tentative plan of boundaries, land which
rightfully should belong to her.
STJSPECTS ZONE FLAN
Perhaps the most significant portion
of the president's reply Is that it dis
closes deep suspicion of the intent of
the treaty- makers to establish sones and
put them in control of "advisers and in
structors." .
The language of the president indicates
that the three great powers have decided
to allot to themselves the cream of the
territory under the old fashioned but
very effective plan of "spheres of In
fluence. The reply makes plain, in substance,
that the Turkish peace treaty proposes
to strip the Ottoman empire of Mesopo
tamia, Arabia, Palestine, Syria and the
Turkish Islands and that the future of
these vast territories be formulated by
Brltsin, Italy and France, the powers
now negotiating the peace. But the
president is against this plaa because
it manifestly excludes the United States.
He suggests that the disposal of this ter
ritory be held ia abeyance for the time
being and that the methods resorted to
in the case of Austria bv adopted--that
is to say, ultimata disposition by the
great power and this means that the
United States would have a voice In the
final disposal. t j-
TEXT OIL HOTE -yoi
The text of the American note follows:
" T have the honor to acknowledge re
ceipt of your excellencies' note of March.
12 relative to the conferences regarding
the peace treaty with Turkey and the
present status of the negotiations be
tween the principal allied powers, and la
reply to inform you that the president
does not deem it advisable tn the present
circumstances that the United 8tates be
represented by a plenipotentiary at the
conference). The president feels, however,
that as this rovernrnent is vitally inter
ested in the future peace of the world It
should frankly express its views on the
proposed solutions of the difficult ques
tions connected with the Turkish treaty.
"While it is true that the United States
of America was not at war with Turkey,
yet it waa at war with the principal al
lies of that country and contributed to
the defeat of those allies, therefore, to
the defeat of the Turkish government.
For that reason, too, it is believed that
it Is the duty of this government to make
known, its views and urge a solution
which will be both Just and lasting".
REYEKSAL ICOT VECX88ABT
"The government of the United States
understands the strength of the argu
ments for the retention of the Turks at
Constantinople, but believes that the
arguments against it are far stronger
and contain certain imperative elements
which it would .not seem possible to ig
nore. It was the often expressed inten
tion of the allies that the anomaly of the
Turks In F.nrnlM should cease, and it
cannot be believed that the feeling of
the Mohammedan people, who not only
witnessed the defeat of the Turkish
power without protest, but even materi
ally assisted In the defeat, will now so
resent the expulsion of the Turkish gov
ernment as to make a complete reversal
of the great powers desirable or neces
sary. AKOTJME1VTS DESIRED
"As to the line given as the southern
frontier of Turkey, it Is gssumed that
this boundary is meant to be the eth
nological frontier of the Arab people, in
which case. It is suggested, certain recti
fications would seem necessary. If. how
ever, other consideration entered into
the choice of this line, this government
without any intention to criticise, would
appreciate being furnished with the ar
guments dictating such a course.

notes with pleasure that provision is
made for Russian representation on the

that no arrangement that is now made
concerning the government and control
of Constantinople and the straits can
have any elements pf permanency unless
the vital Interests of ittissla In those
problems are carefully provided for and
protected, and unless it is understood
that Russia, when it has a government

"It is noted with pleasure that the
nnestlon of Dassaae of vtarrhtos and the
regime of the straits in war time are still
under advisement, as this government
is convinced that no final decision
should or can be made without the con
sent of Russia.
"As for Thrace, it would seem right
that part of East Thrace which is outside
of the sone be reserved for province. As
this, the northern part of the kingdom of
Greece, with the exception of the north

northern part, is clearly Bulgarian In

worthy of most serious consideration on
ethnic and hlstorial grounds, but It
would also seem that Bulgaria is entitled

other grounds than the rather doubtful
grounds of securing; a strategic frontier

It can express an intelligent opinion.
ASKS PURPOSE OP ADT18ERS
"There can be no question as to the
genuine interest of this government in
the plans for Armenia, and the govern
ment of the United States is convinced
that the civilized world demands and ex
pects the most liberal treatment for that j
unfortunate country. Its boundaries i
should be drawn In such a way as to rec
ognize all the legitimate claims cf the
Armenian people ind particularly to give
them easy and 'unincumbered access to
the sea. While unaware of the consid
erations governing the decision reached
by the supreme council, it Is felt that
special rights over Lasistan would
hardly assure to Armenia that access to
the sea indispensible to its existence. It
If hoped that, taking; into consideration
the fact that Trebizond had always been
the terminus of the trade route across
Armenia and that Mr. Venlselos on be
half of the Greeks of that region, has
expressed tbelr preference for connec
tion with Armenia rather than Turkey,
the powers will be willing to grant
Trebizond to Armenia.
AUSTRIAN PRECEDENT CITED
"In regrard to the relinquishment by
Turkey of her rigrhts to Mesopotamia,
Arabia, Palestine, tiyrla and the Islands
this government suggests that the
method resorted to In the case of Aus
tria be adopted, namely, that Turkey
should place these provinces In the hands
of the great powers to be disposed of
as those powers determine.
"In regard to the arrangements for
Smyrna, this government is not in a po
sition to express an opinion, as the ques
tion is too important to be passed on
with the limited information this govern
ment has as to the arrangement that is
contemplated and the reasons for the
same.
"The government of the United States
can quite understand the difficulties that
have confronted the supreme council tn
dealing with the economic questions that
present themselves for settlement in con
nection with this treaty. It is easy to
see that the problems are complex and
fruitful of misunderstanding because of
the conflicting Interests involved, but this
government has every confidence that
the problems will be dealt with tn a
spirit of fairness and with scrupulous re-
