THE OREGbN- SUNDAY. JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING; MAY. 23 1020 11 CITIES OF BATTLE ZONES OF FRANCE AWAIT AMERICANS Preparations Are Being Made to Accommodate Thousands of Tourists Over War-Torn Fields. TV DIPLOMATIC RANKS SHOW MANY NEW FACES (By tnited Nn.) Paris; May 22. Cities in the form er battle zones of France are already prepared to accommodate four . or five time as many visitors as, can .possibly get steamer 'passage from ' the United states this summer, French and American tourist agen cies informed the United News to day. ' .Paris can absorb fully 40 per cent more transients before she cries "full up, and American tourists 1b France need have no (ear of being obliged to spend their nights- under the starry jsky '.. with Ood's green eafth if or a mattress. An exhaustive survey pf the lodging house situation throughout France made by the tourist agencies revealed that in no section of the country. were tourist accommodations lacking. A XXAK OF LAST CHANCE j t The fact that this year is the last chance of travelers to see the- torn bat tlefields in their, war condition, since all except the wastes around Verdun, Che mln des Dames and parts of the Bom me. will be under cultivation by next year J "will brine more tourists than ever be fore. " - About 500.000 Americans have applied for passporta to France, but it is esti mated that not more than 100,000 or at the moHt 150.000 can possibly be brought - across the Atlantic during the five "tour ing months," from May to September. : Among the ruins of cities of the dev astated zone, nearly 5000 guest rooms tire awaiting the rueh of sightseers. Half of this number are in rebuilt hotels; the ' balance in private dwellings, either part ly or wholly restored ; a small number In temporary wooden barracks put up for the emergency. " ' ELABORATE MOTOB. SYSTEM ' The American Express company, and other American 'firms have already set In motion their elaborate motor , trans port system, which will carry visitors throUgl-all..parts of France. . A French tourist organization is plan nlng to run a few "circuit trains through the war zone, in-which travel it ers can spend both day and night. For mer ambulance coaches made Into sleep- ping cars will be used for this purpose. Sightseers will take in all they can dur- lng the hours of daylight, come back to their train at night, and wake up in the morning at the next point of interest. - Kvery American occupying a room 1 In the, war region will be usurping the place of a resident of France.

Political Strikes in 5 France Killed; Labor Would Stick to Job 's- . ' 0 ' ,By United Neml Parts, May 22. The French laborer has finally re-discovered himself as he used to be before the war. Political strikes hereafter are - taboo in France. The absolute refusal of individual workers to quit their jobs for political reasons, which caused the collapse of the present , "general strike." virtually killing all the authority possessed by the General Confederation of Labor, has demonstrated at last, according to those who should know, that French labor has t traversed the critical post-war period of - restlessness which had affected all workers everywhere.

Griffiths. (By r&ited Nm) Dublin, May 22. Arthur Griffiths, vice president of the "Irish repub lic," denies that England has of fered any ney policy of conciliation and once more defies the British gov ernment to pursue a policy of repres sion toward Sinn Fein if,' she wishes to bury the British empire.?' -v ' "Instead of offering "a new, policy of conciUation, said Griffiths in- an inter view, "England is intensifying her mill: tar Ism against us. She is issuing daily false record of outrages alleged to have been-committed by the Irish people. "The government suggests through the English press that the Irish people have rejected an offer of conciliation and therefore must be reconquered. Well, the Irish people await the new pffensive with equanimity. - "Some of Ireland's sons may be as sassinated by the British armed forces, but the Irish cation Is beyond Its power to assassinate or keep shackled for an other generation. Ireland's voice rings out today, not only from Ireland,:, but from the United States, thundering the principle for which America fought and bled namely, that military power of no nation or group of nations shall oe permitted 'to determine the fortunes of peoples ; they have no right to rule except the right of force.

Is Premier Lloyd George a genuine friend of the League of Nations? The question was doubted in the house of i commons late Thursday with the members who asked it. leaving' . the session as dubious- as they had come. iLord 1 Robert Cecil, leading British champion of the league, who is credited with having written a geod deal of the covenant, carried his.- recent dispute with Lord 'Curzon into the parliament ary debate. He denounced the failure on the part of -the allies, and .particu larly Britain, to refer the war now on between Poland and Soviet Russia to the council of the League of Nations. Lord Robert- challenged thepremier to perform a 'single act showing he relied upon the. league as a medium through which war-threatening disputes among nations may be and can be settled. Ift the absence of Lloyd George An drew Bonar Law" toot up -the cudgels for the prime minister. He declared his chief belief sincerely that In the league lay the only hope of ending future wars. Then ( the government s spokesman countered Lord Robert's question with the query as to how the allies could get Poland ' to accept arbitration when the Boleheviki did not accept. The League of Nations, he added, had no friends in Lenin or Trotsky. The British : government . he declared had shipped munitions to Poland "only to help her against being overrun by the BolshevikL" . ; J i Cryj of Militarism Hurlpd by Hecklers ' Of British Rulers London, May 22. -Opposition members heckled the government in the house of commons Thursday ; with charges that militarism was rampant in Britain. Sir Donald MacLean, the liberal leader, quoted Field Marshal Sir Henry "Wilson, chief of the - imperial staff, as saying in ; a recent '"-speech to soldiers : "Get yourselves fit for the time that is com ing." . - i f ' - Sir Donald wished to know whether the chief of staff referred to War with America or. Russia. ' " War; Minister ChurchilL replying, ex plained the , responsibilities of the al lies and particularly in Britain, in Eu rope and the Near East.' White Australia Is : Demand of People Of Commonwealth By Edward Price Bell BpeaUi Cable to The Journal and toe Chlcag Daily News. (Copyright 1020, by Cbickis Daily K.wm Co.) London, May 22. Australia's strong views on a "white Australia' are re ceiving' fresh emphasis from the visit of W. A. Watt, treasurer of the common wealth, to Londdn. He . has 'left the leading .members of the' government in no doubt that Australia fears the "black, yellow and brown peoples of Southeast Asia," and that she expects England to protect her from these "overwhelm bag masses." In thus representing the attitude of the commonwealth. Watt merely follows in the footsteps of Wil liam M. Hughes, Australian premier, who made this standpoint unmistakably clear in the course of his prolonged stay among the statesmen of the motherland. - Less well known Britishers are making themselves beard on the same subject. John Hughes, for example, writing in the Pall Mall Gazette, declares that when Britain and Japan come to con sider the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance July 20 next year, Japan" must sweep at&y all ambiguity touching her policy inChlna', Siberia ahd.the Pacific, and state whether she is ready to rec ognise the-policy of a white Australia." This writer affirms that the Anglb- Japaneee tseaty is notoriously a "red rag to America," and expresses the opinion that a "concert of Pacific powers under the League of Nations is a far more satisfactory way out of the Pacific problem than is a renewal of the Anglo- Japanese treaty. : Brusiloff Is New Siberian Dictator London, May '22.
